The funds are part of the Building Better Regions Fund and are a welcome boost to the pool which has been a part of the Sawtell community for 37 years.

From swimming lessons to pool parties, not many families and community members wouldn’t have used the pool over the years and all are set to benefit from the

their vaccination status ready to go.

“There are already three ways to get a copy of your vaccine certificate, through the Express Plus Medicare app, the digital wallet on their phone or a paper certificate from Services Australia," Mr Dominello said "We have successfully started testing the integration of the vaccine certificate into the ServiceNSW app and are expanding the pilot into the regions this week which is exciting.

“Until then, please ensure you have your proof of vaccination ready.

“The nsw.gov.au website has all the materials needed to help businesses reopen safely and we have proactively sent out information packs to help make the transition as easy as possible.”

Businesses can find all the resources that they need to ensure they are complying with the 70 per cent roadmap at www.nsw. gov.au/covid-19/business/covid-safebusiness.

To find out how to download a copy of your vaccination certificate visit Services Australia website.

If you are not booked in for a COVID-19 vaccine, please book an appointment as soon as possible.

For the latest information visit the COVID-19 pages on nsw.gov.au.

“NSW has pulled together to get our vaccination rate to more than 70 per cent, which means we can begin the reopening process.

“We need the same spirit of cooperation to keep people safe and ensure that venues remain open.

“Like many people, I can’t wait to have a beer and a schnitty at my local, but we all have a responsibility to stick by the rules.

“Book ahead, check-in with your QR code, show proof of vaccination, be respectful to staff and look after each other.”

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said it is vital that NSW residents continue to roll up their sleeves to push the state’s rates of double vaccination even higher.

“The community has done a fantastic job to reach the 70 per cent double dose target, but we must keep going.

“We want to get to as close to 100 per cent double vaccination as possible to keep everyone safe,” Mr Hazzard said.

“Vaccination is our greatest weapon against the virus, together with social distancing, hand sanitising, mask wearing and getting tested when we have symptoms – which all remain important as we navigate our way out of this pandemic.”

NSW reopens AFTER more than 100 days of restrictions NSW took its first steps back to normal life on Monday.

Businesses across the state opened their doors to customers on Monday, 11 October, with patrons required to demonstrate they have been double-vaccinated and are willing to comply with physical-distance requirements.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said Monday was the first step in seeing some restrictions lifted for those who are doublevaccinated, and for businesses around the state to re-open and get the NSW economy back to business.

“There is a sense of optimism out there with thousands of businesses across the State busy preparing to open their doors tomorrow. NSW you’ve earned this,” Mr Perrottet said on Sunday.

“As we re-open after more than 100 days we ask everyone to treat staff with kindness and respect when they ask you to check-in or see your vaccination certificate.

“Following these simple measures will help keep us all safe and keep us moving forward out of the pandemic.”

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres welcomed the reopening and reminded people to act responsibly when going out.

It has been recognised that the pool needs significant work to bring it to standard.

The upgrade will be to the tune of $7,854,102.

“The Sawtell Pool has been a source of connectivity and fun for our community for the last thirty seven years, and is so deserving of this upgrade.

“The new modernised complex will ensure the pool continues this legacy for many years to come,” Mr Conaghan said.

“In recognition of the fact that modern aquatic activities and community expectations have evolved over time, the upgrade will include a new 25-metre, eight-lane main pool, 10-metre learn-to-swim pool, and an interactive splash zone for kids of all ages and abilities.

“Importantly, accessibility to the pool will be significantly improved, with a specialised pool lane that provides ramp access as well as the traditional steps and pool.”

Coffs Harbour City Council Mayor Denise Knight said the announcement is great news and a vitally important one for the Coffs Coast community.

Climate Questions FROM Page 1 demonstrated climate change is the number one concern for the region.

According to the initial findings of a soon to be released V4C report, Cowper residents are also concerned about inequality and integrity in politics.

The report is the culmination of data collected from more than two hundred and fifty kitchen table discussions held across the Cowper electorate between August 2020 and July 2021.

The kitchen table discussions were attended by individuals and community members and involved answering questions about what they like about their area, how to strengthen

the relationship between local people and political representatives, and the issues of greatest concern to them.

News Of The Area spoke to V4C convenor Ms Gillian Anderson.

“While political, economic and housing issues were of major concern to participants, the environment and in particular climate change, were raised almost twice as often as any other single issue,” Ms Anderson said.

“From Coffs Harbour to Port Macquarie, the natural beauty of the area was number one in what people liked about living in this area, so it's not surprising that climate, the environment, biodiversity and land use came up frequently amongst people's concerns,” Ms Anderson said.

“We want local MP Pat

Conaghan to understand the level of concern in his community about climate change and the environment.

“As far as we know he hasn't declared his position on climate change and we think voters in Cowper would expect him to take a strong line in support of enforceable targets in the National’s party room next week.”

Mr Conaghan spoke with News Of The Area about his position.

“I have voiced my view in regard to the transition away from fossil fuels and reducing our emission many times, that is, it must be a just transition.

“I must consider not only the ideology of ‘net zero’ but also the reality to industry, agriculture and small and medium business when making decisions on net zero targets that will ultimately

impact them in potential job losses and increased running costs,” he said.

“I also represent some of the lowest socio-economic areas in New South Wales who currently struggle with the day to day cost of living.

“I must consider those people and how net zero

Products not captured by the changes include nicotine replacement therapies such as sprays, patches, lozenges, chews and gums, and vaping products that do not contain nicotine.

It is illegal for any other Australian retailers, including vape stores, and online and overseas sellers to sell nicotine vaping products, with vape stores and other

retailers only able to sell flavours and non-nicotine vaping products or devices.

Nicotine vaping products contain nicotine salt or base in solution and are heated using a vaping device to make aerosol for inhalation (vaping).

New vaping laws introduced

By Emma DARBIN

THE Australian Government has cracked down on nicotine vaping and e-cigarettes with new laws introduced mandating that these products can now only be obtained through a doctor’s prescription.

As of 1 October 2021, you can no longer legally buy nicotine vaping products, such as nicotine e-cigarettes,

nicotine pods and liquid nicotine (also known as eJuice, vape juice, eLiquid) from overseas websites, as well as locally, without first getting a valid doctor’s prescription.

This means pharmacists in community pharmacies can supply e-liquids and e-cigarettes (containing nicotine) to their customers (18 years and over) if they have a valid prescription from

affects their standard of living.

“I am all for leading the way to net zero but not to the detriment of regional and rural people.

“This is why we need to see a clear, determined path of action with proper protections for Australia before we commit to the rest of the world,” he Australians.

Between 2015 and 2019, e-cigarette use by young people increased by a massive 96 per cent in Australia.

The Government said the changes strike a balance between the need to prevent young people from taking up nicotine vaping products while allowing current smokers to access these products for smoking cessation on their doctor's advice.

There are currently no approved nicotine vaping

The full report from Voices4Cowper will be launched at an online meeting on Sunday November 14 at 4pm.

You can register for the report launch and/or sign up to receive a copy of the report at voices4cowper.org. products on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).

Therefore, doctors will either need to apply to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for access to the unapproved product before they allocate a prescription, or provide a script for a three month (or less) supply of nicotine vaping products if a user intends to use the Personal Importation Scheme to buy the products from an overseas website.

National Water Week 2021 18th to 24th October 2021

This year’s theme, Caring for Water and Country, aims to deepen our understanding of Australian First Nations people’s knowledge of protecting and sustaining our water and lands for over 65,000 years.

Did you know?

Our current River water supply sources (Orara River, Nymboida River) are located in Gumbaynggirr Nation country. The Gumbaynggirr word for water is ngaarlu, pronounced nar-loo. Gaagal, pronounced as ga-gal, is the ocean and is the totem of the Gumbaynggirr Nation.

Being both saltwater (ngaarlu wiinyjarr) and freshwater (wurunggam) people, ALL water is vital.

How did Gumbaynggirr people source fresh water?

The Gumbaynggirr people have lived here for thousands of years, relying on seasonal, environmental water.

Broad-Leaved Paperbark (Melaleuca quinquenervia), or balawun.ga, is a precious resource that has been used for generations by the Gumbaynggirr people. The knobs on the tree are a good source of fresh water. (source: arrawarraculture.com.au - Fact sheet 12)

Other water sources were only used for spiritual purposes, such as Mimiga Gaungan (St Marys Waterhole) in Woolgoolga A women’s place.

(source: National Parks & Wildlife Service - Mimiga Gaungan Appendix 14)

Arrawarra headland is renowned as a place of cultural significance and an important men’s rainmaking site. Guluun gaamnga, or ‘increase-the-rain ceremonies’ are known to take place on the headland. (source: arrawarraculture.com.au - Fact sheet 2)

Vaccination Data Win

By Sandra MOON

INCREASING vaccination rates mean North Coast residents are better prepared as visitors arrive to the region in coming weeks.

Across all the North Coast LGAs the rate is now at 88% of those aged 16 and over having had their first dose, well ahead of the national average of 82%.

60% of people on the North Coast are fully vaccinated, just behind the national average of 62%.

“I want to personally thank the whole community for their strong support for getting vaccinated

in the trade.

“When I settled in the area I was lucky to have Chris at Grafton Air sign me straight up to an apprenticeship.

“Both Grafton Air and Grafton TAFE have been super supportive.

“With the recent easing of travel restrictions, and having people visit our region again, we can feel confident that the majority of our residents will have been vaccinated.

“While this doesn’t mean people won’t get COVID, they are better protected from serious disease and the risk of hospitalisation.

Blueberry Win in China

By Sandra MOON

A JOINT venture by local blueberry producers Costa and Driscoll’s Offshore has won this year’s Impact category in the Asia Fruit Awards.

The Costa Joint Venture (Costa JV) began in 2015 in the Yunnan Province of China in the south of the country.

Costa JV has subsequently expanded into four large growing areas across the region.

The pan-Asian awards are held annually and presented by Asia Fruit Logistica and Asiafruit Magazine to celebrate excellence and recognize outstanding achievement in Asia’s fresh produce business.

The Impact Award recognises a person or organization that has made a significant contribution to developing Asia’s fresh produce business.

Peter McPherson, the General Manager of Costa Berries International, said it was a great honour and privilege to win the Impact Award.

“Over the space of five or six years, we have managed to establish a significant vertically integrated berry business, in which we have utilised Costa’s and Driscoll’s world leading reputation as growers and marketers of premium berries,” Mr McPherson said.

“This has included the establishment of substrate and protected berry plantings in Yunnan Province, southern China.

“Costa now operates across the four main growing locations, with almost three hundred planted hectares and more under development as we speak,” he said.

According to Eurofresh Distribution the Yunnan grown blueberries are retailing for a much higher price than imported blueberries and are helping to alleviate poverty in areas of production.

Mr McPherson said the success is attributable to a team and a great credit to all involved.

“We have had a commitment to work cooperatively and harmoniously with stakeholders including government officials, employees, local villages and the surrounding community,” he said.

“We have also worked closely with the local authorities to ensure that what we are doing provides benefits for the local communities.

“In particular, helping with poverty alleviation through providing ongoing employment.” q Mr Peter McPherson from Costa Joint Venture thanked the award organizers Asia Fruit Logistica and Asia Fruit Magazine.

Urunga’s surprise visitors to local lake

By Andrea FERRARI

SPRING has brought with it a happy event to the waterways near Urunga.

Ian and Ulrieke Kethel of Bellinger Keys report that the Magpie Geese on the small lake near their home have successfully hatched a brood of seven fluffy brown goslings.

Three of the adult birds have made their home on the lake for several months now, although it is a bird normally associated with tropical areas.

But Ian and Ulrieke say that they obviously feel at home on the Coffs Coast, and all the signs are pointing to a successful outcome.

Richard Jordan of Bellingen Birders points out to News Of The Area, “As our climate changes, we are probably going to be visited by other birds normally encountered only to our north.

“The lake at Bellinger Keys is also bursting with other birdlife.

“Several Cormorants and Swamphens are tending to their offspring, and a couple of Latham’s Snipe are spending our warmer months there to escape the Japanese winter.”

We can enjoy all this springtime activity, but Richard cautions against being tempted to interfere in any way.

“Well-meaning people sometimes intervene when they find a newly-fledged chick out of the nest.

“But often a parent is nearby, and a bird taken out of its natural environment in the

early stage of its life will have little chance of survival, however carefully nurtured.”

It’s imperative for humans not to interfere with the fledglings.

“Essential survival skills can only be learned ‘in the wild’,” said Richard.

In other birding news, we have heard from Bellingen Birders about the recent BirdLife/Guardian newspaper's 'Bird of the

Year 2021'.

Competition was fierce among the finalists, with the Superb Fairy-wren (aka blue wren) winning the award from the Tawny Frogmouth and the Gang-gang Cockatoo.

Richard Jordan told News Of The Area, “The Bellingen Birders were barracking for the endangered Regent Honeyeater, which

throughout the pandemic carers have done an incredible job keeping their loved ones and people in their care safe.

“They have cared for the mental and physical health of the more vulnerable members of our community, have and ensured they are treated with respect and dignity,” she said.

News Of The Area spoke with Mission Australia carer Yvonne about the benefits of the FCMHP. Yvonne said she enjoys education and support from the FCMHP program and said it has helped her get involved in art therapy, attending educational workshops, and enjoying short respite and fun days out.

For Yvonne the rewards of being a carer are many.

“The rewards include the ability to pass on my experience and knowledge to other carers, especially those who are new to the caring role.

“Another rewarding aspect is being able to care for my family member and know that he is being supported, safe and in recovery.

“I am also making sure he is learning

new skills and I am forward planning for him when I am not here so ensure that he can look after himself and continue to live a rich and contributing life,” she said.

National Carers Week

By Sandra MOON

IT’S National Carers Week and Mission Australia is thanking and celebrating all carers paid and unpaid, including those who access support through Mission Australia’s Family and Carers Mental Health program on the Mid North Coast.

This year the theme is A Million Reasons to Care.

There are more than two million six hundred and fifty thousand carers around the country and Mission Australia aims to highlight them and the diversity of the carers’ experiences.

One in eight Australians provide unpaid support to a family member or friend.

They provided 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care in 2020, and if the care they provided was paid it would amount to $1.5 billion per week.

Mission Australia runs a Family and Carers Mental Health Program (FCMHP) on the Mid North Coast for families and carers of people with a mental illness through a comprehensive range of support and services.

Program Manager Shelley Dutton said

Sandy Beach residents horrified by bird poisonings

By Andrew VIVIAN LOCAL residents were horrified to discover a mass poisoning of native birds in the Moonee Nature Reserve behind Ironbark Ave, Sandy Beach last week.

A native wonga pigeon (one of a local breeding pair) was discovered dead by a resident who initially thought it might have died from an accident.

However, residents became suspicious when, two days later, three adult brush turkeys were found dead on the upper end of the ranger’s track which navigates the rear of the

residential properties along Ironbark Ave. None of the birds appeared to have injuries and poisoning was assumed to be the cause of their deaths.

Another eight adult brush turkeys and an ibis were discovered in close proximity to each other in an area at the base of trees where the turkeys gathered to roost every night.

Residents said that it appeared they all died before they had a chance to fly up into the trees.

An ibis had also been found dead on a nearby street.

Two more ibises were found lying dead together under a tree on the reserve near where the brush turkeys were found.

Residents are mystified why the birds were poisoned and say it has left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth at Sandy Beach that knew the birds.

A resident told News Of The Area that the birds contained many individual, lovable ‘characters’ that were greeted each day by the residents and had become quite tame.

The resident said that a toxicology examination on some of the birds is

Sun-safe steps for summer

DAYLIGHT savings, rising temperatures and half-way through Spring, the Coffs Coast is opening up to its seasonal outdoor lifestyle.

With the population planning its outdoor activities, Cancer Council NSW is sharing its sun-safe post-lockdown picnic guide to help protect us from harmful UV rays.

Louise Jeffs, Community Lead at Cancer Council’s Coffs Harbour office, said the Cancer Council wants to make it as easy as possible to enjoy outdoor gatherings in a sun safe way.

“Many of us are already

enjoying Covid-safe picnics, and there’s lots of ways you can make sure you’re protecting yourself from the sun.

“Here are our top five tips.”

1. Pack a sun safe picnic bag that includes plenty of sunscreen, sunnies, and some spare sun safe hats.

2. Pick a sunscreen that you like best – there are plenty to choose from.

3. Stay hydrated and cool - while UV from the sun can still do damage on cool and cloudy days, make sure you manage the heat by staying hydrated.

“Looking at the SunSmart app in the morning has become part of my everyday routine.

“During spring UV levels are high most of the day, and the best way to protect our skin from the harsh UV rays is to use as many forms of sun protection as possible.

BOOM! Wins STILL People’s Choice Award

By Sandra MOON

PLAYFUL local artist and bearded lady, Peggy Zephyr, has taken out the STILL: National Still Life Award 2021 People’s Choice Award in the national art competition.

Wait.

What?

Yes you read that right.

The colourful artist loves beards and luckily for her it’s not her only point of difference which is turning heads.

Her bright and colourful piece, titled BOOM!, caught the eyes and won the hearts of viewers at the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery and online.

And she has outdone rural, regional and metropolitan artists from across the nation to score a massive win of $5000.

The was live streamed on Saturday and Ms Zephyr said she was overwhelmed to receive the favourite Still Life title voted ahead of the 58 other finalists, selected from over one thousand entries received from across the

nation.

“The work in STILL is at such a high level and I was so proud to be amongst the other artists,” said Peggy.

Described as deceptively simple, her work went through twenty nine colour variations before she settled on the colours for the final work.

The colours chosen at the end are a combination that she describes as igniting, vibrating and fizzing and ultimately keeps the eye moving around the canvas.

“I want to mess with the viewer’s eye,” she explained to News Of The Area.

Although the prize money is certainly welcomed by Ms Zephyr, the main motivator was utilising a platform for her art.

“It’s the platform it gives you, the other artists you meet, the people in positions like gallery owners, that is what’s valuable,” she said.

“I had a gallery approach me to have a solo show because they came across me through STILL.

“That is a big deal as an emerging artist, it’s incredibly powerful.”

Originally from London, Peggy describes herself as a maker and strives to be an ‘art superhero’, spreading joy and colour through the beauty of art.

“I want to make work that is inclusive, not elitist, that people want to put into their homes and it doesn’t use a language that people don’t understand.”

Also online for the announcement was STILL major prize winner, Blak Douglas, who reminded Peggy to buy new razors with her prize money; a friendly reference to Peggy’s signature black beard.

“Art shouldn’t be so stuffy and serious,” explains Peggy.

“The beard is part of that, it’s disarming, fun and why not!”

While the beard is eyecatching it’s not the only talking point of her outfit.

Her cap shows her cheeky side.

It reads “Yes I’m

menstruating”.

To share her joy for winning the art prize, Peggy has painted a mini version of her winning BOOM! artwork and is offering it as a prize on her Instagram page @peggy_

zephyr with the winner announced on 31 October.

Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery has a 3D Virtual Tour that allows anyone to experience the STILL exhibition online, while

contracting severe COVID-19 and once infected, have a high risk of disease-related morbidity and mortality.

“We know that during this pandemic people living with dementia are some of the most vulnerable people in our community,” Ms McCabe said.

Dementia Australia Honorary Medical Advisor Associate Professor Michael Woodward AM said recent research on the impact of the pandemic shows that people living with dementia, especially those in residential aged care, are at risk of worsening dementia and psychiatric symptoms, and severe behavioural disturbances as a result of

lockdown measures and social isolation.

“We need high levels of vaccination across the sector and in the community to protect people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, their families and carers,” Assoc Prof Woodward said.

“Mandatory vaccination of the aged care workforce will reassure people impacted by dementia and their families that they are supported by people who are vaccinated and significantly less likely to spread the virus.

“Residential aged care workers are leading Australia’s overall vaccination rates and these numbers

continue to grow.

"We acknowledge our aged care workers for leading the community in being vaccinated.”

Dementia Advocate Bobby Redman, who is living with dementia, said, “Homecare workers often visit the homes of many different clients each week.

“I feel much safer knowing that, as a condition of employment, my carers are now vaccinated and keeping us safe.”

People living with dementia, their families and carers have told Dementia Australia that despite the high levels of vaccination of staff and residents, some

residential aged care homes have still not been able to offer appropriate alternatives to essential visits and this has resulted in poor physical and psychological outcomes for residents with dementia.

“During this time, the aged care sector is under increasing stress.

“For those impacted by dementia, there will be an added layer of anxiety,” Ms McCabe said.

“A focus on promoting social engagement to restore mental health and wellbeing as we move beyond lockdown solutions is in everybody’s best interests.

“Dementia Australia is here to support the 472,000

Rare plants still under threat from Coffs Harbour bypass route

By Andrew VIVIAN COFFS Harbour Fontainea, the rare plant which was recently discovered on the proposed Coffs Harbour bypass route, has been provisionally listed as a critically endangered species by the NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee.

Local conservationist Mark Graham, who has succeeded in having Coffs Harbour Fontainea listed, says that this usually provides a measure of protection for endangered plants and animals, but Mr Graham is fearful that the plant will still be made extinct.

As well as Coffs Harbour Fontainea, there are three other pockets of land that are thought to be remnants of the original forests that covered the Coffs Coast area.

There is concern that these remnants will be destroyed along with the Fontainea.

Mr Graham said he

hopes to find out soon when the Fontainea listing will be gazetted, because gazetting the provisional listing makes the government accountable for its actions to protect the species.

He told News Of The Area, "My understanding is that Transport for NSW is attempting to dig up the last remaining female of the critically endangered Coffs Harbour Fontainea before gazetting of the determination to list the species.

“This will make the species extinct in the wild,” he said.

He said that the minor deviations needed to save the rare plants are readily achievable and there should be no engineering or other constraints.

A Transport NSW spokesperson said, “A number of management measures are being investigated to avoid and mitigate the impact on them.

“This includes investigating the viability of adjusting the design of the motorway to avoid the species, fencing and protecting species in the

road corridor, translocating the species, and propagating the species."

Mr Graham said, “I am hoping that this listing provides a legal safety net.

“To the best of my knowledge, making something extinct in the wild like this has never been done by a government.”

Fellow conservationist Dave Wood is also concerned about the forest pockets.

Mr Wood said that the forest remnants contained plants such as white booyongs, yellow carabeens and blue quandongs that were common in preEuropean times.

The Environmental Impact Statement for the bypass states, ‘The design has been refined to avoid and reduce potential impacts to biodiversity’.

Transport for NSW has confirmed that this entails the area being cleared, after seed and plant samples are collected.

Mr Graham said, "No one is suggesting stopping the bypass, but very minor tweaks must be made to stop the extinction of the Coffs Harbour Fontainea.”

A HEART-FELT painting by Mary Abbott reminiscent of her long-time family Jack Russell, Tassie, has been announced as the winner of Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group’s (CHCAG) ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ art competition.

In second place was Ivinnie Brown with her The Brolga’s Dance artwork.

This is CHCAG’s only judged exhibition and is run annually.

Col South, a renowned local artist, was chosen to judge the competition.

“This is an excellent exhibition; the artists represented should be proud of the work.

“The choice of subjects and the skills demonstrated made this an exceptionally difficult exhibition to judge.

“Because of the quality of the work, I am sure that there will be many people who will not agree with my decisions but be assured that in my humble opinion, these were

the most deserving works.

“On first look there were five pieces that were standouts.

“It is difficult to make a comparison between different mediums; there are unique skills involved in porcelain painting, stained glass and wood carving.”

Sue Roberts, CHCAG President, told News Of The Area, “The judge’s comments are really important, for both artist and viewer, which is why we record them on a card which is placed next to

The opening afternoon at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery was well-attended and several artworks were sold on the day.

Members and visitors voted for their favourites in the People’s Choice, which will be announced as the exhibition closes on 1 December.

There was much anticipation before the judge’s choices were declared.

The exhibition runs until 1 December, with all artworks for sale.

The Gallery is open from 10am to 2pm, Monday to Saturday, with free entry.

Sue also announced that the club is honouring Ivinnie Brown as a Life Member of the CHCAG, recognising her 21 years dedicated and diligent service to the club.

UNCLE Micklo Jarrett is spreading the word on Aboriginal culture as the language leader launches into a new season of Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal Language and Culture

Community Classes.

While adding Armidale as a new venue for the adult classes, he’s hit a hiccup with the Toormina School venue.

“Toormina High School is on Level Three restrictions so we’re looking for another venue in that area,” Uncle

Micklo told News Of The Area.

The Community Classes are funded by the NSW Department of Education to educate adults, after an assessment report revealed that, while hundreds of local children are receiving lessons in the Gumbaynggirr

The new interactive map makes it easier for people to see what work is underway to help manage their local coastlines, as well as how many grants their council has received through the Government’s Coastal and Estuary Grants Program.

In addition to links to a relevant local council’s website for more information, the new map has clickable colour-coded

icons to reflect which stage in the process the CMP is up to.

The tool is designed to engage local communities even more with councils and their council’s efforts to protect and preserve their region’s coastline.

With the growth of the Community Classes, Uncle Micklo is looking for more adults to become Gumbaynggirr language educators, both in schools for the children and for the adult Community Classes.

“We need some really enthusiastic, passionate

people to spread the language of the Gumbaynggirr people, not only in schools but in the community.”

Zig-zagging the Mid North Coast, Uncle Micklo holds Community Classes in South Grafton every Thursday at 3pm-5pm at the Ngerrie Aboriginal Lands Council office; every Tuesday between 10am and 12-noon at the AECG office in Nambucca Heads; Armidale’s weekly day is Wednesday at Hughes House Jacaranda Room, 141 Faulkner St, Armidale from 10am to 12-noon, with the Toormina class currently seeking a ‘home’.

Big Banana lights up purple for Developmental Language Disorder awareness

By Andrea FERRARI

q Ambassador for the DLD Project, Parker is a talented animal photographer.

COFFS Harbour’s Big Banana will turn purple on Monday, 18 October to mark Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Day, the world’s largest day of action shining a light on this ‘invisible’ communication disability that affects two children in the average New South Wales classroom.

DLD is a brain difference that makes talking and listening difficult.

It is 50 times more prevalent than hearing impairment and five times more prevalent than autism.

Parker, a 16-year-old thrill seeker and talented photographer diagnosed with DLD is calling on Australian teachers to #ThinkLanguage #ThinkDLD.

Parker was originally diagnosed with dyslexia in Grade Three but due to continual difficulties at school, that weren’t totally explained by dyslexia, he received a diagnosis of DLD in early 2020.

“It’s not that you’re not listening or paying attention.

“DLD feels like everything is going over my head all the time.

“When I talk, it feels a bit like I’m about to stutter.

“I have to stop the sentence and restart or move on to something else,” Parker told News Of The Area.

Children with DLD are as intelligent as their peers, but may experience difficulties with understanding instructions, answering questions, learning new words, putting words together to speak in

sentences, reading, writing, telling stories, and playing with others.

With his personal lifetime’s experience and diagnosis, Parker wants

THE Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) has commenced proceedings in the Federal Court against Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and Commonwealth Securities Limited (CommSec) for alleged contraventions of the Fair Work Act for failing to pay 7,425 workers $16.44 million.

Australia’s largest bank disclosed to the Fair Work Ombudsman and the Australian Securities Exchange in 2019 that it was completing a company-wide review of compliance with its enterprise agreements since 2010 and identified contraventions.

Impacted staff performed various roles nationally, but most were in customer service roles.

Following an

investigation, the FWO is alleging that CBA and CommSec breached clauses of its enterprise agreements that required both companies to ensure that staff paid under these agreements and Individual Flexibility Arrangements (IFAs) were better off overall.

The FWO alleges that CBA and CommSec failed to undertake reconciliations to ensure that employees were not paid less overall compared to the applicable industrial instruments, and make top-up payments for any shortfall.

This led to staff being paid less than their lawful entitlements between October 2015 and December 2020.

Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said

improving compliance in large corporates was a priority.

“We allege that CBA and CommSec failed to meet their lawful obligations to ensure employees were better off overall, which led to thousands of CBA and CommSec employees across the country being financially disadvantaged year after year,” Ms Parker said.

“Businesses have a responsibility to their employees, customers and the Australian community to get it right by prioritising workplace law compliance, investing in their payroll systems and conducting audits.

“Boards should treat the lawful payment of their employees as a core governance requirement.”

The regulator also alleges that, for staff paid under IFAs, the companies failed to ensure that workers were better off overall than if they were paid under the enterprise agreements between October 2015 to June 2020.

The regulator further alleges that CBA and CommSec also applied invalid IFAs to some staff, leading to a failure to pay various entitlements, including minimum rates, overtime, weekend and public holiday penalty rates and some allowances.

The FWO alleges that altogether, the contraventions resulted in a failure to pay 7,425 current and former employees a total of $16.44 million between October 2015 and December

people to know that having DLD doesn’t mean you are “lazy or stupid”.

Just like him, the one in fourteen people who have DLD are working incredibly hard to keep up with what’s going on around them.

“It would be easier if more people knew about

2020.

It is alleged that CBA failed to pay $10.05 million to 4,999 employees, and CommSec failed to pay $6.39 million to 2,426 employees, with some of these workers performing work for both the entities during the period.

The majority of the workers have already been back-paid.

It is alleged that CBA and CommSec knowingly failed to comply with these ‘better off overall obligations’ under their enterprise agreements and that these breaches meet the ‘serious contraventions’ threshold inserted by the 2017 Protecting Vulnerable Workers amendments to the Fair Work Act, because of the systematic nature of the alleged conduct.

The FWO also alleges that between June 2018 and August 2019, CBA and CommSec misrepresented

to some employees that they would each be better off overall under their IFAs and that those agreements satisfied their entitlements, in breach of the Fair Work Act. The FWO is seeking orders for penalties against CBA and CommSec. For the alleged serious contraventions, the maximum penalties for each company is up to $666,000 per breach. For all other contraventions, the companies face penalties of up to $66,600 per breach.

A directions hearing in the Federal Court in Sydney is still to be scheduled.

Grafton Jacaranda Festival about to bloom

By Andrea FERRARI

AUSTRALIA’S oldest floral festival is about to bloom with ten days of arts, culture and entertainment – a feast of nature for the eyes - and it’s just an hour up the road from Coffs Harbour.

The Grafton Jacaranda Festival will take place from Friday 29 October through to Sunday 7 November, and until COVID was a highlight for a growing interstate and international tourist audience.

Now in its 87th year, the festival has put the call out to neighbouring regions to come along and support the community event and also see the spectacle of over 2,000 purple flowering jacaranda

trees.

Festival Manager Mark Blackadder said a COVIDsafe event will be delivered to coincide with the blooms and include many of the traditional highlights as well as several new ones.

“We’re excited to be able to continue festival customs such as the Jacaranda Ball, Queen Crowning and Venetian Carnival, and have been lucky enough to secure a number of well-known touring artists,” he said.

“A concert with local Troy Cassar-Daley and Cold Chisel’s Ian Moss has been locked in, as well as comic favourite Bob Downe and international male burlesque show Club Briefs.

“There really is

something for everyone and we encourage visitors from Coffs Harbour and around the region to take the hour’s drive and experience the natural wonder of the trees and the festival program for themselves.”

Most of the events will be held at a specially designed major recreational outdoor facility in Market Square with the capacity to hold up to 2,000 people, allowing for social distancing and the one person per four square metre rule.

The park will be fullyfenced to provide designated entry points with QR code scanning and sanitiser stands to ensure the safety of attendees and the general public.

National Medals for Marine Rescue members THREE Coffs Harbour Marine Rescue members were presented with their National Medals in recognition of their dedicated long service to the Coastal Patrol and the Marine Rescue NSW organisation.

Graeme King, the Coffs Harbour Unit Commander, welcomed all to the ceremony at Coffs Harbour Yacht Club saying, “All three recipients of this medal are for fifteen years’ service to saving lives on the water.

“Each time they put to sea in any conditions they are risking their lives which is mitigated by the worthy vessels and the rigorous training for such events.”

Marine Rescue NSW’s Regional Operations Manager Randall Gawne presented the National Medals to Andrew Innis, Gregory Taylor and Graham Taylor with many members, family and friends in attendance to congratulate the worthy recipients of this prestigious award.

This was followed by coffee and cake.

Graham Taylor told News Of The Area, “Sixteen years ago my friend and I motored the yacht that we had just

built to lock-up stage, from the Hawkesbury River to Coffs Harbour to complete the internal fit-out and add the mast and sails.

“During that trip I became impressed with Coastal Patrol radio communications.

“When I was looking to undertake some voluntary work, I thought about Coastal Patrol.

“With my experience going fishing in the boat from Korora with my Dad, 70 years yachting in Sydney and Europe, plus holding an amateur radio licence should be a good fit.

“I have enjoyed the camaraderie, the training to become a competent Coxswain of the rescue boats, Watch Officer and

q

subsequently teaching navigation to the new members.”

Pat Conaghan, Member for Cowper, was unable to make the occasion and present the medals as he was isolating in Port Macquarie.

The National Medal is Australia's most awarded civilian medal.

It recognises long and diligent service by members of recognised government and voluntary organisations that risk their lives or safety to protect or assist the community in times of emergency or natural disaster.

This includes voluntary organisations such as lifesaving or search and rescue groups.

Extra Cops for Coffs Clarence

By Sandra MOON

FIVE new police recruits for the Coffs Clarence Police District began probationary duty this week.

The trained officers received eight months of foundational training before taking up their Coffs Clarence post.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh has welcomed the additions who are among more than 220 new probationary constables to help keep communities across NSW safe.

“On behalf of our community, I’m pleased to be able to welcome our newest police officers,” Mr Singh said.

“They will bolster the ranks of our local police who perform vital and at times dangerous duties day and night to tackle crime and protect the people of the Coffs Coast.”

The NSW Police Force welcomed a total of two hundred and twenty six police recruits after they were sworn in as

probationary constables at last week’s ceremony in Goulburn.

“Congratulations to the men and women of class three hundred and forty nine, who graduate today and will join the NSW Police Force at its strongest and most efficient,” said Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott.

“After eight months of world-class training, the attesting officers will join their stations on Monday and invigorate the policing capabilities of this state.

“The NSW Government has committed to invest $583 million to introduce one thousand five hundred extra police over four years to enhance community safety across NSW and is investing $60 million over four years to upgrade the Police Academy at Goulburn.”

Officer allocations across the state are determined by a number of factors including population density, trends in crime, population

forecasts and so on.

Analysis of the NSW Police Force Annual Report 2019-2020 shows a 4% turnover rate for the force as the majority of crimes continue to drop consistently across almost all areas of crime across all policing areas around the state.

Crimes against property dropped along with crimes against persons have dropped except sexual crimes and domestic violence crimes which have

The report states that police officer turnover is increasing while the majority of crimes are decreasing except those where women bear the brunt — domestic violence and sexual assault, which is increasing.

The turnover rate is 4% for 2019-20 up from 3.6% in 2018-2019.

in the NSW Police Force lags at 35.4%.

People whose first language spoken at home was not English have a target of 23.25% of workforce inclusion with an actual 2020 workforce participation rate of just over half that at 12.3%.

The people with a disability target is 5.6% and the actual number of people with a disability in the NSW workforce in 2020 is 0.8%.

In the report the Coffs Clarence Police District totalled 220 staff including 202 police officers and eighteen administration staff.

In 2020 workforce diversity targets were not yet met apart from the 3.3% target for Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders which was down one point of a percent from 2019 to 3.9% in 2020.

Osprey photo wins Nature Photography Competition

By Andrea FERRARI

A PIN sharp, astounding photo of a swooping Osprey

by Gail Yagar has won the top prize in the 17th annual Nature Photography Competition run by CeX Coffs Camera Club.

Entitled ‘Into the Abyss’, the photo was taken after hours of patient watching and waiting.

Speaking on Opening Night at The National Cartoon Gallery, Gail said, “Anyone

who knows me knows I spend a lot of time on Emerald Beach with my camera on the headland.

“My first love is the osprey, and this is his favourite fishing spot.

“We play this game of who can last the longest.

“This day I could feel I was going with him.”

As winner, Gail’s name is now added to the memorial Marnie Yeates Trophy for Nature Photography.

The competition is one

of the few opportunities provided for local amateur photographers to have their images displayed in a significant regional/national gallery.

Seventy exhibits are on display showing a wide variety of subjects including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, bugs, flora and aquatic.

The most popular subjects are birds, landscapes and seascapes.

Club member Michael Woltschenko told News Of The Area, “On display are some uniquely captured

Kailey Pallas Rocks at Open Mic

By David WIGLEY

KAILEY Pallas rocked the Coramba Hotel’s Open Mic Night last Saturday where seasoned performers, a wizard and emerging talent took to the stage to an enthusiastic audience.

Kailey kicked off the night with a powerful rendition of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ followed by ‘Someone like you’ from Adele and Amy Winehouse’s ‘Valerie’.

Seasoned performer Deb Banks harmoniously sang the classic ‘Have you ever seen the rain?’ by the Creedence

Clearwater Revival and Flash Wilson turned up the volume performing Elvis as they finished their set performing as a duet.

The unpredictable nature of open mic is a key attraction and the audience were spellbound when a wizard mysteriously appeared to crank out guitar riffs to the backdrop of Harry Potter.

A diverse range of music resonated through the venue ranging from Kailey Palas’s unique rendition of ‘Down Under’ by Men at Work to Puccini’s ‘Nessun Dorma’.

Entries were judged by three local experienced nature photographers: Steve Young, Norm Farmer and Mark Spencer.

“The crocodile (3rd place) …initially you ask yourself ‘what is it?’…you look and look at a mystery object and then you see, it’s a crocodile.

“I feel that this nature photography competition and exhibition also plays a role in bringing to attention the need for us to preserve our natural environment.

“Particularly during our current times when many of our ecosystems are under threat.

“We will continue to run this nature photography competition on an annual basis and hope to attract more local enthusiast photographers next year,” said Michael Woltschenko.

“Open mic nights are a great opportunity for people who have always wondered what it’s like to perform but never had the opportunity, it’s a great way for new talent to get recognised and a great way to bring friends and families together.

Blueberries in the blood

By Andrea FERRARI

KELLIE Potts, the Sandy Beach based farmerfounder of Potts of Berries, has blueberry juice running through her veins.

The earth she treads every day, tending to her fourteen-acre blueberry plantation, is fourth generation land, originally bought by her greatgrandmother during the Depression of the 1930s.

The Coffs Coast farms and supplies around 80% of Australia’s blueberries.

Kellie is a member of a cooperative of around 150 blueberry growers which advocates ethical farming standards and practices.

“We’re selling as one so we’re all in the same boat.

“I find everyone amazing

“This year (2021) has been the most difficult year on record for us,” Kellie told News Of The Area.

“I genuinely want every

farmer to be the best farmer they can be.

“I’m more than happy to share anything we find beneficial on our farm with other growers, such as our native bee experience which we recently shared in a bee workshop.”

Kellie’s proud of her sentimentality about the land she farms and gives back to the earth in order to reap the best.

“I’ve invested in many organic inputs for our soil, such as humic and

fulvic acids, extracted from brown coal, which deliver nutrients, applied as a liquid.

“We also brew our own fungus and bacteria; it’s not an easy process but these biologicals are essential in feeding a good soil and can help plants in times of stress," she said.

“I feel blessed to be a farmer and a great custodian of our land.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Special arrangements for a special friend

AMY is quite fond of her Jack Russell terrier, Rosey.

As part of her estate planning, Amy wishes to ensure that Rosey is lookedafter.

She is advised by her solicitor that unless there are specific provisions in her will, Rosey forms part of the ‘residue’ of her estate and becomes the property of her residuary beneficiaries.

This can cause difficulties if there are multiple beneficiaries and further complications can arise regarding the cost of Rosey’s care.

Amy decides that it is best for Rosey, her executor and her beneficiaries for her to make special provisions for Rosey in her will.

Amy instructs her solicitor to include a provision in her will to permit her friend, David to reside in her home and to care for Rosey during her lifetime.

Under her will, Amy also gives her executor the sum of $50,000 to be used to pay for the outgoings and the upkeep of the property as well as providing funds to meet Rosey’s expenses, including her medical and dental treatment.

Her executor is granted the discretion to apply these funds for Rosey’s care as her executor deems appropriate and to distribute any surplus funds to her residuary beneficiaries upon Rosey’s death.

Amy’s solicitor recommends that Amy ensures that Rosey is microchipped and that her executor is directed to ensure that Rosey is provided with annual check-ups and scans by a veterinarian to ensure that it is in fact Rosey who resides in her home as there have been instances in the past where a pet has been replaced by a ‘look-a-like’.

The solicitor also explains the importance of appointing an independent executor who can monitor Rosey and David to ensure her wishes are respected and her home ultimately realised and distributed to her residuary beneficiaries.

Thank you to AD for your request.

By Bellingen Shire Council AS New South Wales enters the first stage of reopening following COVID-19 lockdown on Monday 11 October, Bellingen Shire Council will alter the ways in which services are provided in line with the most recent Public Health Order.

NSW Health’s Public Health Order will see rules change for individuals and businesses, including Council, and will particularly impact unvaccinated adults in terms of the ways goods and services are provided across the state.

The key Council services impacted by the new regulations are: ● Council’s three Branch Libraries at Dorrigo, Urunga and Bellingen

DEAR Jasminda,

Living with Covid-19 DEAR News Of The Area,

ONCE again all consideration of when to open up (the State) and live with Covid-19 depends on how well Sydney is prepared with 80% vaccinated.

But the Regions like Coffs

Harbour are only at 50% or so and places like Byron Bay, being vaccine hesitant, are at a lower rate.

It is the unvaccinated that will suffer the most with hospitalisations and deaths and under 12 children are also very vulnerable

but hopefully with lesser symptoms.

I hope this political vs medical experiment works towards our economic and healthy future.

Regards, Brian MAHONY, Coffs Harbour.

School back in session DEAR News Of The Area,

HOW wonderful it is to hear children's voices again.

For the last thirty years I have lived opposite a local primary school and the silence from the playground since the advent of Covid has been a sad reminder of its

impact.

While parents utter a collective sigh of relief as they wave goodbye to the school bus in the mornings after months of homeschooling, my happiness at seeing the children filling the playgrounds again is in equal proportion.

To a retired person living alone the sound of small children running about and the occasional greeting over the fence to passers by gives shape to the day.

Welcome back, kids.

Regards, Margaret EENGLAND Korora.

Leave the snakes alone!

DEAR News Of The Area,

WALKING at The Gap, Bruxner Park Rd we observed a very sad and upsetting sight.

A young carpet snake had, very recently, been killed by decapitation.

This is not the first time we have seen something similar.

Last year, we saw a larger carpet snake, well over 2 meters and up to 20 years old, had been killed on the walking path at Sealy Lookout by someone dropping a rock on its head.

Our plea is for visitors to Coffs (and locals) to leave these beautiful native

animals to themselves.

They are not dangerous.

They will not hurt you, if we all please just leave them alone.

Council Column: Services Change ● Council’s two Swim Centres at Bellingen and Dorrigo ● The Bower House Reuse Shop at the Raleigh Waste Management Facility ● Council’s three Visitor Information Centres at Dorrigo, Urunga and Bellingen ● Council’s Community Halls To ensure compliance with the most recent Public Health Order, those wishing to visit our Shire’s libraries must be fully vaccinated, use QR Code check-in points and provide evidence of vaccination status (fully vaccinated) to library

WELL, here we are - opening up week.

It should be a time of excitement, but I am actually thinking I quite enjoyed lockdown. The place was less congested.

The kids were happier being at home.

Learner driving instruction was a breeze with less cars on the road.

We realised the importance of exercise again and we didn't have to catch up with people or make excuses not to.

What are your thoughts?

Mr Barry V. BARRY, the pandemic has really been a time to shine for those who have reclusive natures.

It became not only acceptable to be a hermit and avoid others, but you were commended for it.

When did you think you would hear the words, 'Barry, you have to work from home’, interspersing your meetings with time with your cat and your Diecast models and your Chillaxed playlist without any need to drive through peak hour traffic, listen to Roger from marketing rant about his latest Tinder date, take out the office bin for Mariah with her dodgy hip and all the other daily interactions you could do without.

And, on top of it all, you got paid.

Paid to stay home.

What fresh new nirvana is that for someone who has lived a life of avoidance.

It's tough, Barry.

As a writer, I have intentionally chosen the life of a recluse and now you've all discovered the hidden joys of working from home - only needing to be dressed professionally from the waist up, exercise breaks, no interruptions, no workplace illnesses from some snotty-nosed accountant who thinks he's so important that he has to soldier on and infect the entire workplace.

What's not to love?

This logic doesn't work, however, for those in hands-on jobs.

You can't build a house from your office, or take blood, or pick and pack orders, or deliver furniture and food.

So, unfortunately, Barry, this utopia you speak of is unsustainable for many, but if you can continue to get away with it, good luck to you.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

pharmacies, Council’s Bellingen Customer Service Centre does not fit into the category of premises that require mandatory vaccination, however residents are still required to check-in to the premises and wear a mask.

Finally, Council would like to thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation with onsite signage and staff directions during this time to ensure we can continue to provide the services our community relies on in a controlled and safe environment.

Unpacking the politics of climate change DEAR News Of The Area,

I REALLY don’t understand why the people of Australia entertain the adversarial situation we have in the political arena here in Australia regarding climate change especially if we take the time to consider an alternative way of looking at the issue.

Let’s reflect on what is

trying to be achieved by considering moves that are underway on two of the many related issues and what they are aimed at, without considering natural or human activity induced climate change as part of the equation.

1. Reducing air pollution including CO2 emissions.

Many cities around the world have unhealthy levels

of air pollution; 2.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources? Fossil fuels are a finite resource and should be viewed in a manner that they will eventually run out and therefore should be reserved for specific uses only.

Support measures for small and medium business owners THE NSW Government has committed to provide a Summer Holiday Stock Guarantee for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and will expand the Small Business Fees and Charges Rebate for all eligible small businesses.

Small and medium business owners will be able to open with confidence thanks to a suite of support measures from the NSW Government, as part of the Economic Recovery Strategy.

Under the SME Summer

Holiday Stock Guarantee, eligible businesses with an annual turnover between $75,000 and $50 million will be able to apply for a grant of up to $20,000 to compensate for loss of perishable stock, or claim $10,000 for reduced capacity to sell non-perishable items if a local lockdown occurs and they are impacted.

The expanded Small Business Fees and Charges Rebate will be eligible for use until 30 June 2022.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said these measures

were key to giving businesses the confidence to open up and plan for the future, which will help reboot our economy.

“Now that we’ve reached the 70 per cent double vaccination target, it’s wonderful to see businesses reopening their doors and welcoming back customers,” Mr Perrottet said.

“These measures will give businesses and workers confidence to purchase stock and invest for the future knowing their doors will remain open as we get our

With COVID restrictions easing and more guests allowed at home, what better way to welcome back friends than with a three course cooking challenge that will change the future for those affected by breast cancer?

Breast Cancer Trials is setting a three course cooking challenge for breast cancer and is encouraging the community to get involved and cook for friends and family while showing support

to those diagnosed with breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Trials is on a mission for people affected by breast cancer to live better, to live longer and to never die from breast cancer.

By asking your friends, family, colleagues and networks to support you in the challenge by donating to breast cancer research, you can help make this special meal one that saves lives.

Celebrity Chef Sarah Todd will be cooking a three course modern Indian meal for the challenge.

Sarah has risen to the top of the Indian global food scene since her debut on

MasterChef Australia back in 2014. Sarah’s classical skills honed from Le Cordon Bleu, combined with her extensive travels across India have influenced her unique cooking style.

She will be leading an interactive cooking challenge online and asks people wanting to participate to join in on October 16 via livestream.

But if you and your guests can’t make it for the live demo it’s okay.

The aim is to make it super easy for people to take part so you can host a dinner party for family and friends anytime till November 30.

Treasurer Matt Kean said the Stock Guarantee of up to $20,000 would be available if non-essential SMEs were forced to shut their doors between 1 December 2021 to 31 January 2022 due to public health orders.

“It’s devastating for businesses and their employees when they have to shut due to COVID but the grants will make it easier for businesses to manage their stock with confidence,” Mr Kean said.

“We expect the summer will be a bumper time for businesses as the people of NSW emerge from lockdown and look to support their local, and we want business owners to know we have their back.”

Minister for Finance and Small Business Damien Tudehope said the Government wanted to ensure businesses could open with confidence and certainty.

“It hasn’t been an easy ride for businesses across the state and now we are reopening, this should give them some assurance that we

will be there for them every step of the way,” Mr Tudehope said.

“Small businesses will now be able to claim road user tolls under the Small Business Fees and Charges Rebate, which is being increased from $1500 to $2000.

“The rebate can be used to offset NSW and local government fees and charges and adding tolls to the list of claimable charges is going to make a massive difference to many small business owners who use vehicles for work.”

More information on the rebate and Summer Holiday Stock Guarantee will be available shortly.

q Celebrity Chef Sarah Todd wants you to cook up a storm for breast cancer prevention.

Ms Todd’s decision to participate was influenced by her own mother’s breast cancer diagnosis.

Her mum Lorraine is one of thousands of Australians who have been affected by breast cancer, after she was diagnosed with the disease on her 50th birthday.

“We made the most of a tough situation, but I didn’t quite get the marks that I wanted to get into a degree.

“When I found out about the intensive sixweek Transition to Uni course I applied and got in and it really helped me get the start I needed at uni – I wouldn’t have been able to study a degree without it,” he remarked.

“My family owns a farm,

and I almost didn’t go to university so that I could work full-time on the farm with them, but I’ve always wanted to expand my skills and start my own business.

“The degree I’m studying now opens up numerous opportunities for future careers.

“I recommend Transition to Uni for anyone who is unsure whether they will get the marks they need to go to a degree,” he said.

Mt Bajwa said the best thing about the program was getting better prepared to enter the university system which he said is so different to high school.

He told News Of The Area he learnt about the building blocks of university such as

how to start assignments, learnt about academic integrity and how to do academic referencing.

“The course was about learning about university before going to university and this gave me an advantage when I started.

“Now I have to do referencing for every assignment so doing it before I started made it really easy,” he said.

The free, six-week course runs from January 2022 and prepares students for university study, ready for the main degree intake in March across Southern Cross University campuses at Lismore, Coffs Harbour and the Gold Coast.

Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance Platypus project

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL citizen scientists and Indigenous rangers are using a relatively new scientific method - Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling - to test local rivers for Platypus DNA. eDNA is a highly sensitive and cost-effective technique to determine species presence over large spatial scales, particularly for sparse and cryptic species like the platypus.

The platypus is not officially listed as a threatened species, but 2020 research from the University of New South Wales suggests the animal may be in trouble.

The new project led by the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance Inc, is aiming to investigate and quantify the impacts of the 2019/20 bushfires on

platypus populations at 60 locations across the Bellingen and Dorrigo catchments.

The Jaliigirr partners, including OzGreen, NPWS, Bellingen Landcare, Coffs Harbour & Districts Aboriginal Land Council, Ecolinx and

q

Northern Rivers Catchment Management, will work collectively to implement the eDNA sampling regimes.

“This will be the first systematic investigation into platypus populations in this area and will provide much

needed baseline data”, Justin Couper, Jaliigirr Project Manager told News Of The Area.

Sixteen Bellinger Landcare and Bellingen Riverwatch volunteers have been working together this week to test eight sites along the Bellinger, Kalang, Never Never and Rosewood rivers.

Platypus eDNA project has just launched.

OKTOBERFEST was the theme for Old Johns Poetry Un-Slam, a Coffs-local group of poetry lovers, who meet bimonthly at Old Johns café on the Jetty strip.

The group’s founder, author Bruce Meder, told News Of The Area, “The group chooses a theme for each

evening, but does not stick to it.

“October’s theme was Oktoberfest, yet only one poem was about beer, and only one poem was that of a German poet – the great Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

“Any and all poems are accepted and can range over a wide variety of themes.

“October’s gathering

60 full time-equivalent rurally based interns and postgraduate doctors can undertake training in country practices.

“This program allows early-career doctors to take the opportunity to train in the rural communities where clinical opportunities are abundant, while also enjoying the benefits of a regional or rural lifestyle,” Dr Gillespie said.

“There is strong evidence that undertaking medical training in a regional or rural

“We’re very excited to be partnering on this Jaliigirr project and to be supporting research into this iconic species facing threat”, said Amy Denshire, Bellingen Riverwatch (BR) Coordinator.

“You can view the Platypus eDNA Site Map at www.ozgreen.org/platypus and we will publish the results on the BR website in the coming months.”

heard poems about dogs, submarines, creativity, tardiness, and even a poem titled The Worst Coffee Ever – although the poet was quick to point out that this did not relate to the coffee at Old Johns.”

Old Johns Poetry Un-Slam is a deliberate title for the small, informal group of Coffs Harbour residents who meet

to recite and listen to poetry.

“It is a non-competitive evening, none of the poetry is judged,” said Bruce.

“Those wishing to read a poem can read their own poem, or that of someone else, including, if they wish, some of the greats of the poetry world.

“There is no expectation to recite a poem from memory and there is no set length to the poem.”

Training more doctors in the bush to benefit more rural communities A PROGRAM that provides young doctors with the experience of training in a rural general practice or Aboriginal Medical Services and provides more medical care to regional, rural and remote communities is being extended by the Federal Coalition Government.

Member for Lyne and Federal Regional Health Minister Dr David Gillespie said extending the Rural Junior Doctor Training Innovation Fund (RJDTIF) for another year will mean

The DNA is then extracted from the sample and analysed by a probe that specifically detects platypus DNA. “The lack of historical data is one of the challenges we face when trying to identify decline in populations of this species”, says Josh Griffiths, ecologist, EnviroDNA. “It’s unknown if the severity and extent of the recent fires in our region have had significant impacts on platypus habitat quality

setting increases retention rates.

“The program has already benefited more than 50 towns and 80 sites across regional, rural, and remote locations, such Nhulunbuy in the NT, Goondiwindi in QLD and Bega in NSW with approximately 814 rotations since 2018.”

Dr Gillespie, who worked as a regional doctor for more than 30 years before becoming a MP, said the funding extension is being provided to the 15

organisations currently funded through the program.

“The organisations receiving funding for 2022, will support around 240 rotations in general practices and Aboriginal Medical Services, meaning increased access to health professionals for those in the regions,” Dr Gillespie said.

“The program helps to build our rural health workforce and helps to deliver quality healthcare to regional, rural and remote Australians.

The group has no structure, there is no membership, and no joining fee.

The poetry evenings began two years ago, although COVID forced a year-long break, and have become an anticipated evening in the community.

“Most of those attending live close to Old Johns, although some travel a distance for the opportunity

“The Nationals in Government are committed to improving access to quality health care in the bush and helping earlycareer doctors to gain experience in primary care while they progress their medical training in rural Australia is an important foundation for that.”

The Federal Government is providing $11.7 million to continue the RJDTIF program for the 2022 academic year.

The funding is being provided through a closed non-competitive approach and rotation locations will be announced at the conclusion of the grant round.

More than $36 million has been provided to the

Emma Baarselar, one of the co-owners of Old Johns café, describes the poetry evenings as “a pleasure”.

program which assists junior doctors in their first or second postgraduate years to train in rural general practices by the Federal Government since 2018.

The new John Flynn Prevocational Doctor Program (JFPDP), announced as part of the 2021-22 Budget, will consolidate the RJDTIF to increase rural primary care rotations for hospital-based prevocational doctors from 440 rotations (100 FTE) in 2022 incrementally to 800 rotations (200 FTE) by 2025.

This will enable an additional 360 hospitalbased junior doctors to experience rural general practice.

MINISERIES: NEW GOLD MOUNTAIN

SBS, 9.30pm

FRIDAY

ANNIKA

ABC, 8.30pm

This police procedural is not like the other fish in the police procedural sea. Nicola Walker (pictured, Unforgotten) teems with charisma as the titular character: a book loving, straight-talking woman who is a single mother to a bad-tempered teenager. She has moved to Scotland to head up the Marine Homicide Unit, which is busy trying to solve maritime crimes in a by-the-numbers way – until Annika arrives. It’s a police procedural with a different atmosphere that boasts some awesome Scottish scenery.

For a split second, you could be forgiven for wondering what sort of dark doco you have stumbled across if accidentally tuning into New Gold Mountain. This fresh series is a bold move by SBS: it’s the first locally produced period drama for the network. Filmed in Victoria, the Gold Rush-era drama is a murder mystery laced with humour. Starring Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings), Yoson An (pictured, Mulan) and Dan Spielman (The Code), it’s unique in giving a Chinese perspective of life in 1800s Victorian goldfields. In tonight’s penultimate episode, Shing (An) desperately tries to find the truth.

LOVE ISLAND AUSTRALIA AFTERPARTY

NBN, 9.30pm

It’s hard to resist an afterparty when you’re having such a blast. Sure, you may regret it the next day, but what about the stories you’ll have to tell? For those who can’t get enough of the cheeky antics on Love Island Australia, here’s your chance to decompress and analyse all the loved-up and lusty action. Hosted by the candid Abbie Chatfield (pictured), who gained infamy after her runner-up stint on The Bachelor Australia, this is where the dumped Islanders drop by to chat about their experiences in the Byron Bay villa. Like the whipped icing on top of a cupcake, the show features the stuff you love, but don’t necessarily need: gossip, behindthe-scenes stories and exclusive interviews.

Sawtellian of the Year nomination time

By Andrea FERRARI

NOMINATIONS are now open for the two categories of 2022 Sawtellian of the Year.

Sawtellian of the Year has been running for many years being awarded each New Year’s Day at the Sawtell Super Fund Day at the

Village Green, Sawtell Beach Holiday Park.

Along with this annual recognition award, 2021 saw the introduction of the Young Sawtellian of the Year.

For young achievers who have made a significant contribution to the Sawtell Community, nomination for the 2022 award is open to

anyone up to the age of 18 as at 31 December 2021.

The current title holders are Mick McGavigan and, taking out the inaugural Young Sawtellian award, Maggie McConnachie, coincidentally both from the Sawtell Surf Club.

Organising Committee Chairperson Keith Bensley

www.newsofthearea.com.au said any person, club, school or organisation can nominate up to two persons they consider are worthy of recognition.

“Nominations can be one for each category or two for any one category but the nominee’s contribution must relate to the community of Sawtell,” Keith told News Of The Area..

“Nominating someone is now easier than ever.

“Nominations can be made on-line on the Sawtell Super Funday’s new website at www.sawtellfunday.com.au.

A 45-YEAR-OLD man has passed away in the Sawtell park adjacent to the Surf Life Saving Club on Fourth Avenue.

Police report that on Thursday morning, around 11am, locals noticed the man appearing to be unwell and called an ambulance.

The paramedics arrived and performed CPR but sadly the man could not be revived.

Coffs Harbour police

attended the scene.

Sawtell Community Facebook group members have shared their feelings about the man’s passing; commenting on their feelings of carrying guilt, asking themselves whether they could have done anything to help him when they saw him in the park earlier in the week.

There is a general feeling of sadness that this man died, homeless and alone.

Tara Rigby Greenaway,

who runs a business in Sawtell and lives in Boambee told News Of The Area, “I spoke briefly with him on Tuesday, but he was pretty unresponsive.

“I just felt in that moment that the homelessness crisis really isn’t something we can ‘fix’.

“It’s something we need to change within the system for families/birthing mothers and cutting reliance on the medical system.

“Adult trauma is always childhood trauma.

“Mothers birthing without

safety is trauma, this affects parenting and choices and habits; this is passed directly and indirectly to the children and so on and so on.”

CEO of Hope for the Homeless, Dean Evers, told News Of The Area, “Firstly, I’m very sad to hear of the passing of the gentleman at Sawtell.

“My sincere condolences to his family.

“People often ask me ‘how can I help?’.

“I just remind them they are individuals too.

“You could introduce yourself, ask how they are and if you want, ask if you can help them in some way.

The program will undertake a name change to The Educational Pathways Program (EPP) in 2022 and will expand from 24 schools currently to up to 139 public high schools across NSW. The program has been extremely successful since it was introduced in 2020, with the number of students enrolling in schoolbased apprenticeships and traineeships tripling across the schools participating in the pilot.

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said investing in career education and skills training for young people was key to keeping the NSW economy strong into the future.

“Encouraging the next

generation to consider an apprenticeship or traineeship through this program will help to reduce future skills shortages and create a highly employable workforce,” Mr Lee said.

“Through this program, a growing number of Year 10, 11 and 12 students are earning and starting their career in industry while learning new skills in the classroom.

“The program is about exposing school students to the different directions they can take in their career so they can make informed and confident decisions.”

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the NSW Government was supporting highschool students looking to take the first step in their career.

“Greater Year 12 retention, increased completion of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships, and

increased participation in post-school education are just some of the benefits of the program,” Ms Mitchell said.

Secondary public schools in the Illawarra, New England and North West, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven, as well as Western Sydney suburbs of Parramatta and Blacktown, will have access to the Educational Pathways Program in 2022.

Business Resilience Workshops

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE last event in the Festival of New Thinking, run by 6 Degrees, an initiative of the Coffs Harbor City Council, will be a whole-day affair on Wednesday, 27 October.

The event will consist of three sessions, and participants can sign up for one, two or all three sessions.

Organisers hope that participants can develop a basic continuity plan for their businesses after identifying key issues that affect them.

They will be provided with direct access to the service providers that can help them plan for the future, along with easy-to-use tools and templates to keep their businesses up and running.

With local businesses having faced a number of significant challenges over recent times, such as the impacts of bushfires, flooding,

increased cyber crime and the COVID pandemic, business resilience is an important issue as ever, and continuity planning is something every business should be considering.

The morning session (which includes lunch) is a 1.5-hour, hands-on, practical workshop led by Tim Donovan from Warrgambi about business continuity.

Mr Donovan is a security practitioner with professional credentials in public safety, security, risk management, investigations, training and assessment with extensive physical security experience involving the protection of high priority dignitaries and sites in Australia and abroad.

He will examine planning for when the unexpected happens, and consider aspects such as emergency preparations, legal risks and insurance and physical and

online safety.

The middle session, beginning at 1pm, is led by Emily Dever, a Workplace Wellbeing Specialist, and Jo Facey, a Business Resilience Mentor from CHESS CONNECT. Their session, about healthy mindsets and workplaces will present a fresh and innovative approach to how small business operators manage their mental health and wellbeing.

They will show how, by building resilience and mental fitness, small business operators will be better equipped to manage challenges, plan for change and support a culture of positive wellbeing for when times are tough.

Scotty Schindler and Courtney Tune will present the afternoon session from 2:30pm, about finding new

Mr Schindler was the founder of ReNet Real Estate Software which amassed nearly 6,000 clients throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Mr Tune is an entrepreneurship facilitator who founded Alt-Collective to work with businesses to find focus and balance, to maintain passion and build collaboration.

Nicole McLennan, Acting Section Leader, Industry and Destination Development, said, “This event is the culmination of the Festival of New Thinking, and it is timely because businesses have been doing it tough for nearly two years.

Significant growth is predicted across all hairdressing and beauty industry areas in the next few years, with demand for beauty therapists alone expected to increase by 20% by 2024.

TAFE NSW is addressing this demand by preparing a pipeline of salon managers.

The stress from that demand is likely to be heightened as COVID-19 restrictions progressively ease throughout NSW and the beauty and hair industry reopens..

By Andrew VIVIAN TODAY (Friday 15 October), school students across the Coffs Coast will join thousands of students and supporters nation-wide as part of a national school strike, demanding that the Morrison Government says no to funding dangerous gas and coal projects, and instead invests in clean renewable energy, secure jobs and First Nations solutions to protect Country.

The day is being organised by the School Strike 4 Climate network, with support from First Nations communities, unions, parents, and everyday Australians.

In response to the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report and the upcoming COP26 climate discussions in Glasgow, young people nationwide will take action - from school walkouts, to strikes, to youth enrolment events at MP’s offices.

Because of COVID-19 risks and uncertainty around restrictions, Coffs Coast students have decided against a large, public, in-person action, and will instead have smaller school-based events and

Skills Team Tourism and Experience Services, Cheryl Ballinger, said the course is targeted at those working in or looking to start a hair, beauty, or nail salon or barber shop.

“Until now, the Diploma of Salon Management had been available at limited campuses, by developing a virtual course students can now access the course from anywhere in NSW,” said Ms Ballinger.

“Students attend weekly virtual sessions and learn the practical tools to effectively manage day-to-day salon operations including managing staff performance, marketing their business, and making strategic business decisions.”

join a NSW-wide strike event.

The online event will feature a range of interview-style speeches, including those from First Nations people and frontline workers of the climate crisis.

The organisers have said that they will also be taking action involving a ‘social media storm’ and contacting specific Members of Parliament to demand solid climate action.

They intend to remind political leaders that many participants in previous school strikes will be 18 at the next Federal election and at some stage, all will be able to vote in favour of effective climate action.

Local students have told News Of The Area that they consider a current Federal National Party proposal for taxpayers to underwrite fossil fuel financing and insurance for $250 billion to be ‘an outrageous assault on the future generations’.

Some Federal government politicians have openly questioned this policy and the students have called on the Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan to clarify his opinion about it.

Safety measures at Woolgoolga Public recommended

By Emma DARBIN

AN investigation of the safety of parking and drop off areas around Woolgoolga Public School has been undertaken

by Coffs Harbour City Council and recommendations made.

These recommendations include adding centre unbroken lines on Scarborough Street and Short Street, placing ‘No Stopping’ signs and lines at the intersection of Short Street and Scarborough Street, placing unbroken lines and a ‘Give Way’ line in Short Street at its intersection with Scarborough Street, and placing a solid line in Scarborough Street to separate the school bus lane from other traffic.

A 20-metre ‘No Parking’ zone is also recommended in

Scarborough Street at the end of the bus zone to allow for student drop offs.

The investigation was undertaken following concerns raised by Cr John Arkan at a Council meeting on 25 March 2021 about safety issues at the school’s parking and student drop off areas.

Cr Arkan expressed his concern around a lack of parking in Scarborough Street where the school is located.

“Woolgoolga is growing rapidly and we really need to have a look at the roads and the parking situation overall,” Cr Arkan said.

Cr Arkan showed fellow councillors photographs he had taken outside of Woolgoolga Public School of an afternoon when buses and parents arrived to collect students.

“There’s cars coming and reversing, the buses are all intertwined with the crossings and the car parks either side,” Cr Arkan stated.

Cr Arkan had called on Council to investigate the use of Beach Street, Woolgoolga, alongside Centennial Park, as a spot for school buses to drop off and pick up students.

However, this potential safety option was ruled out during the investigation.

“Consultation has been undertaken with Forest Coach Lines and NSW Police and neither considered that the installation of a bus zone in Beach St was warranted,” Council stated.

“NSW Police have undertaken observations at the site and have recommended a number of actions to improve road safety

Matilda Lugg Named in Sydney Sixers Squad

By David WIGLEY COFFS Harbour’s Matilda Lugg has been named in the Sydney Sixers squad who start their Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) in Tasmania this week.

Matilda donned the magenta shirt for the first time as she joined her teammates for intense training ahead of a hectic WBBL schedule which kicks off with three matches in six days.

Matilda’s first match is against the Melbourne Stars on Thursday 14 October which is live on Channel 7 and Fox Sports from 7:30pm from Bellerive Oval, Hobart.

Then on Sunday 17 October the Sixers take on the Hobart Hurricanes Women which is also live on Channel 7 and Fox Sports at 1:30pm and then three days later against the Melbourne Stars on 20 October at 4:50pm.

Matilda was thrilled to commence her first training session with the Sydney Sixers.

“It’s so nice to get out there, obviously we’ve been in quarantine for a while and it’s so nice to get out there

training because we haven’t been able to play much cricket lately.

“I can’t wait to get out there, it’s extra special to be out there in the magenta, to get out there with the girls and I can’t wait to kickstart our first match.

“I’ve been in the WNCL (Women’s National Cricket League) for the last four years now, obviously that high level of cricket and professional training has really got me to where I am now.

“I’ve been working for four years to get a spot in the Big Bash and it feels really nice that I’ve put in the effort

World Squash Day a big hit

By David WIGLEY

WORLD Squash Day was a big hit at Coffs Harbour Squash Club as players celebrated a day of free squash that included coaching, matchplay, three quarter court, Jenga, swimming and a sausage sizzle.

World Squash Day is a global celebration of the sport to inspire new players to pick up a racket and get a taste of the action.

Several juniors from the club had been selected to

and been rewarded,” said Matilda.

It is anticipated the former Coffs Colts wicket keeper will be introduced to the team gradually as back up for Alyssa Healy who has been the Australian wicket keeper for the past eleven years.

“If Alyssa can’t play a game I’m ready to go, I’m really excited to train and get amongst it and if the opportunity arises I will grab it with both hands,” said Matilda.

Matilda is relishing the opportunity to learn from captain Elysse Perry who is

represent New South Wales but with the pandemic wreaking havoc with community sport the juniors are playing competitive matches at their home club and as a result have bonded together.

NSW State Junior Coach and Head Coach at Coffs Harbour Squash Club, Jemma Wratten, praised the competitiveness and camaraderie throughout the day.

“The players are quite competitive in singles but are all friends and are improving

together on their squash journey.

“After a few singles matches the players had social games of three quarter court which they think is just for fun but they probably don’t realise how effective this restrictive format is for improving accuracy and development, especially the young ones.

“After the squash marathon the juniors played a giant game of Jenga, went for a swim and had a sausage sizzle.

“World Squash Day is all about having fun and promoting the game which they certainly did, with this sort of enthusiasm hopefully squash will be in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics,” said Jemma.

widely regarded as the best women’s player in the world being the first player to amass a combined 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in T20Is and holds the record for the highest score by an Australian woman in Test matches of 213 not out.

“For me she’s the best in the world, so for me I just want to learn as much as I can from her and soak it all up and ask her lots of questions without annoying her too much,” Matilda laughed.

“I guess pick her brain a bit and soak it all up and I guess for me service her as much as possible and get her ready for the big bash as well,” she said.

Matilda reflected on her journey from Coffs Harbour to the Big Bash and gave sage advice to any aspiring female cricketers from regional New South Wales.

“My mum and dad in Coffs Harbour have done so much for me through my playing career, they are so excited that I’m here, my mum has been sending my pictures and they are going to be watching every game.

“I’ve had really nice messages from home from the players I used to play with when I was younger since I’ve been selected.

“Everyone back home will be really excited, obviously they’ll be really excited if I get

on the field but also excited to see me running around the field in the squad.

“For any young girl in Coffs Harbour, here I am ready to start my first WBBL match alongside Ellyse Perry, Ash Gardner and Alyssa Healy so it can happen, you just have to keep working hard.

“It’s hard when you are from the country because you don’t have the girls competition so you have to play with the boys but you just gotta try and take every opportunity you can.

“Just keep working at it, enjoy it, you’ve just got to enjoy it as long as you can and then yeah it’s possible,” said Matilda.

“We’ve been losing players a bit too early to Sydney and Brisbane because both themselves and their parents feel it’s a better opportunity.

“Hopefully with METS it won’t feel like the kids that don’t get the opportunity to go away at an early age don’t feel like they are missing out.

“Eventually I want to grow and expand it to the whole Mid North Coast,” said AJ. SCU Marlins Club President Chris Rathbone praised the development opportunities it will provide for juniors.

“AJ provides insight and support to all Marlins coaches and players from the under 8s to first graders, always insightful and generous with his time, AJ is an invaluable leader within our proud club.

“His dedication and commitment to bettering himself every day is evidenced by the influence he has on the playing and coaching group and no greater proof is the number of NSW Country representatives we had this season.

“The METS program offers a unique opportunity for aspiring representative players to be mentored by AJ during our preseason,” said Chris.

Former NRL star Clint Greenshields to coach the Sawtell Panthers

By David WIGLEY

FORMER NRL star Clint Greenshields is returning to coach his childhood rugby team the Sawtell Panthers in 2022.

After growing up in Sawtell and playing his junior rugby at the Panthers, Clint went on to play NRL for the St George Illawarra Dragons, North Queensland Cowboys and the Catalans Dragons in the French Super League.

Clint shared his excitement for the 2022 season with News Of The Area.

“I’m really looking forward to the 2022 season with the Panthers. The

last two years have been exhausting for a lot of local businesses and also for individuals.

“It will be nice for all the locals to get out to some games and have something to be excited about.

“On a personal level, I love coaching and I am excited about developing young players to be better players and better humans.

“I am not sure of the squad yet as it is early days, I would love a good mix of keen young guys and some experienced players too.

“We will look to fill the squad with Sawtell juniors and local juniors first with one or two players with some

professional experience,” said Clint.

Last season the Sawtell Panthers were unable to field a senior team in the Tooheys New Group 2 competition but now Club President Colin Fogarty is relishing exciting times ahead for the club.

“Clint Greenshields, one of Sawtells greatest juniors returns home to rebuild the Panthers, with a new committee , and having Clint as the Sawtell Panthers leader, the Sawtell community are in for some exciting times next year.

“Our focus has been to bring our juniors home and Clint is the start of that journey, the Panthers

are back for a great 2022 Season,” hailed Colin.

Last season the under 18s were the only Panthers team to compete in the Tooheys New Group 2 competition only playing the occasional match at their home ground, Rex Hardaker Oval.

Under 18s coach Peter Barrett said the appointment will help his talented crop of juniors make the transition into senior rugby.

“Clint’s experience will be great especially for my 18s going into first grade plus attracting players back to the club. “Group 2 need Sawtell going strong with a big supporter base,” said Peter.

Ben Hazlett and Ariel Tobey remain mathematical chances to edge past Moshik however the bookmakers are offering long odds.

Special mention goes to the Ariel/Mosh match which was decided 10-8 to Mosh in the Super tie break and may well have decided that semi final spot, and also to a dominant Darcy for completing his 8 sets of tennis while only dropping 8 games.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

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.

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

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

Developing local talent Friday, 15 October 2021

By David WIGLEY

SCU Marlins player and coach AJ Gilbert has been named in NSW Waratahs Level 3 Emerging Talent Coach Program where he will help develop local talent through the METS (Marlins Elite Training Squad) program.

The former NSW Waratahs flanker from Dorrigo has made the natural progression from elite player into coaching.

“When I finished playing professionally I just really wanted to give back to the country area and kids in the country, and I thought coaching was a great way to do that.

“I still play for the SCU Marlins and my role at the club is the Director of Rugby so I‘m not just the first grade coach but I’m responsible for the whole rugby program, from under 8s through to women’s and first grade.

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

“So when the opportunity came up to be part of the Level 3 Emerging Talent Coach Program I knew I wanted to be a part of it,” said AJ. AJ was part of the coaching team that helped the ‘Select Team’ which featured local Marlins and Snappers players defeat the President’s XV at the Super W Series in July at C.ex International Stadium.

“My goal for METS is to create a professional program that mirrors the programs of the GPS schools and academy clubs in Sydney.

“Teaming up with Tom Frost from ACE performance, we’ll be giving them Strength and conditioning and also the skill development so the players are ready to transition into country teams or even high level

q AJ Gilbert was on the coaching panel of the Super W Select team that defeated the President’s XV in the Super W series. From left to right: Greta Smith, Taylor Stevens, Ashlee Downton, Tina Mcrae, Rachel Tapine, Makayla Hoskins and AJ Gilbert. Photo: Sports Photography on the Coffs Coast.
