By Andrew VIVIAN FEDERAL, State and local Government leaders have met to map out a viable action plan to deal with the decades-old problem of an alternate route to landslide-prone Waterfall Way. Recent flooding events have proven particularly treacherous for the 62 kilometre stretch of road, the main link between Bellingen and Dorrigo, leaving many cut off from surrounding areas.

To date, solutions to the alternate Eastern Dorrigo Way have proven difficult, due in part to the multi-faceted government solution required to

Collaboration To Mitigate Road Closures FROM Page 1 effectively manage the issue.

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce met with local representatives to discuss mutual cooperation to mitigate the perennial road closures after heavy rainfall.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said, “Seeing everyone on the same page for the good of our communities and focussing on just getting-it-done is what should always happen.”

He pointed out that Waterfall Way crosses two local and two state government areas, requiring a fair and reasonable division of cost and manpower to create a solution Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey said, “It is vitally important the plateau community has consistent access down to the coast at all times.

“The Eastern Dorrigo Way must also be of a standard that cattle, timber and milk trucks can use it safely.”

Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos highlighted the lack of community access to important regional services, including health links.

“Whenever the main link is severed for any reason, it affects access to health services such as the Coffs Harbour Hospital.”

Bellingen Mayor Steve Allan echoed sentiments that developing a safe and reliable alternate route linking the tablelands to the coast is vital.

Darkwood resident Mark Graham said, “Eastern Dorrigo Way is really the only alternative to Waterfall Way simply because of the physical challenges from the landscape, but it has its own challenges and constraints.”

He said that the alternative route had had closures from Coramba to Lowanna, so it might still not completely solve the problem.

Mr Graham said as a local resident who is directly affected by road closures, he accepts the occasional inconvenience.

His view is that extreme rainfall events will affect the roads in that area regardless of how

much money is spent and there is no perfect solution.

However, he said that it is commendable that governments are already spending money on safety upgrades on Waterfall Way and are looking at an alternative route.

Virgin Halts Sydney Flights

By Andrew VIVIAN COFFS Coast residents have been expressing their dismay on social media about Virgin Australia removing its Sydney flights at the end of this month.

Some have posted that they cannot afford to fly Qantas and will have to reconsider their travel plans.

A spokesperson for Virgin Australia told News Of The Area that the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 late last year and its continued spread into 2022 has had a significant impact on travel demand.

The spokesperson said, “Regrettably, customer demand for flights between Sydney and Coffs Harbour has become subdued since the announcement of our resumption of services on this route late last year.”

As a result, from 28 March, Virgin

Australia said it will no longer operate this service until further notice but will revisit the service if and when demand recovers.

The spokesperson apologised for inconvenience caused to travellers, and said that the company has done its best to manage ongoing restrictions and fluctuations in demand caused by COVID-19.

All impacted guests are urged to visit the Virgin Australia website to check the status of their flight prior to travel and, wherever possible, they will be moved onto alternative services.

Virgin Australia said it will continue to review its forward schedules and will provide services in line with demand.

The company says it remains committed to the Coffs Harbour market and is pleased to be maintaining services between Melbourne and Coffs Harbour.

Youth Taskforce FROM Page 1 The NSW Minister for Regional Youth, Ben Franklin, congratulated the new members of the third Taskforce, who will provide policy and operational advice to the NSW Government to advance the needs of their peers in regional areas.

Mr Franklin said, “These excellent young leaders will play a valuable role in improving economic outcomes and quality of life of regional youth.”

Mikal Tesfamariam and Luke Austin were selected from more than 130 applicants, and with the other young people from each of the State’s nine regions, will meet throughout the year to focus on the NSW Regional Youth framework pillars: work ready, wellbeing, connectivity and community.

Mikal is an academic captain at Bishop Druitt College and, through her school’s human rights group, is involved in a local initiative called ‘All one under the sun’.

She said that as one of the youth leaders of the campaign she is fighting discrimination through arts and music with a focus on music.

Mikal said that the campaign will be launched with a documentary at the Jetty Theatre in April.

Friday, 18 March 2022

q Mikal Tesfamariam (L) and Luke Austin will represent the Coffs Coast on the Regional Youth Task Force She said, “I feel incredibly honoured to represent the young people of Coffs Harbour.

“We need to make a tangible difference for young people in our communities,” she continued.

Amongst other activities, Luke Austin has worked with Ocean Watch Australia on oyster cultivation and sustainability with communities from Stradbroke Island down to the South Coast.

He is also a student Ambassador at Southern Cross university.

Part of his Ambassador role is to take part in the Regional Universities Roadshow, spending a month

travelling with ambassadors from three other universities to visit high schools and talk to students.

Luke said that the application process involved him identifying what are the issues facing young people in NSW, how he would address those issues and what has been his contribution to the community.

He said, “I am really passionate about encouraging young people to stay in their regional areas and realise the opportunities that exist there.

“We want to support them to stay and develop their skills.”

Luke said that one of the skills he can bring to the

Taskforce is to advise about how to deliver messages to young people effectively.

He said, “I’d also like to see some sort of partnerships in regions so that high school students can gain work experience in a number of areas so they become interested in and familiar with the careers and industries around them.”

Luke said that he is also interested in developing transport connectivity in regional areas, which tend to be reliant on cars, and ensuring that regional youth are supported by any changes.

Both Luke and Mikal noted that previous taskforces have made

www.newsofthearea.com.au

positive contributions to NSW government policies.

Mr Franklin said that the first meeting will be held in Dubbo next month and will centre around what it means to be ‘work ready’ and how regional youth can be better engaged to prepare them for different career paths and jobs of the future.

He said, “In the role, our eighteen new members will hone their skills in driving policy change, advocate for real outcomes for young people, and provide a voice for regional youth in the NSW Government.”

Mr Franklin thanked members of the outgoing 2021 Regional Youth Taskforce for their work

during their time in the role and said that their input had guided major NSW Government policy decisions.

He said, “Some of the 2021 Taskforce's achievements include initiating a Regional School Alumni Events Program, running an online event to give advice to young people interested in running for council, and creating positive social media videos to support other young people through the COVID-19 pandemic, and I thank its members for their fantastic work.

“I congratulate the members of the new 2022 Taskforce and look forward to working with them.”

Bypass Safety Concerns For Cyclists THE Coffs Harbour Bypass is of interest to almost all residents, and, while the concept is almost unanimously welcomed, a number of people are concerned that the details may not all be what the

community hopes for.

Sapphire Beach resident Tom Caldwell noticed that the design for tunnels has changed since the initial concept plans were released.

He points out that the concept design provided for a 1.5 metre maintenance access path, a vehicular

c

NOTA Graphics - Ref: CHCC_42_2022 _N

q The revised tunnel design is narrower than in the original plans. Photo: Transport for NSW.

traffic provision of 14.0 metres and a 1.0 metre cycle path for an overall width of 16.5 metres.

The revised design keeps the 1.5 metre maintenance access path but now makes only 7.0 metres for the two 3.5 metre traffic lanes (as before), with the shoulder now only on one side and just 2.5 metres and shared by cyclists.

This revised tunnel width is 11.0 metres, much narrower than the 16.5 metres in the concept design.

Mr Caldwell is concerned that the original width could have allowed for a third lane of traffic in the future, but that option is now gone.

As well, cyclists originally had a dedicated 1.0 metre cycle path plus a free shoulder of 4.5 metres between them and the traffic lanes but now have only the 2.5 metre shoulder to ride in next to two vehicular traffic lanes that will host large vehicles.

Mr Caldwell said, “After a long wait, it seems like we’re being short changed on the tunnels.

“I am concerned that the bypass could be redundant before it’s finished.”

A spokesperson for Transport NSW told

PLEASE NOTE RSPCA Coffs Harbour will cease their role as Coffs Harbour City Council’s holding facility for lost/stray companion animals from 21 March 2022.

News Of The Area that the Coffs Harbour bypass design changes for cyclists were made during the development of the reference design for tender.

He said that once the refined designs were made, the project team consulted with Coffs Harbour City Council, the Community

Consultative Committee and other stakeholder groups who represented cyclists.

According to the spokesperson, the road environment provided in the Coffs Harbour Bypass tunnels is consistent with other recently-upgraded sections of the Pacific Highway with a 2.5m shoulder, two 3.5 metre

travel lanes and a two metre shoulder on the right hand side when travelling.

Transport for NSW encourages cyclists who are not comfortable cycling on the shoulder to use alternative roads for cycling, including the Solitary Island Way, the existing highway and Hogbin Drive.

By Paul FOGARTY

who represented the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce at the March 10 Council meeting, said their opposition to the motion was based on three main factors.

Shipperlee said the motion was premature as the NSW Government’s Project Steering Advisory Committee (PSAC) “has not concluded its terms of reference” and the proposed master plan had “not been released for phase two community consultation”.

He also said the consultation processes from phase one had inspired submission numbers from the community "well above" any level of response for a Council Project.

“The priority of the phase two community consultation will involve the release of the project master plan so specific community views on what they want to see in the area is still unknown,” Mr Shipperlee claimed.

Meantime local resident Mr Bruce Weir spoke supporting the motion, saying the valuation push was “the first step in ensuring the Coffs Harbour community gets a fair dinkum say in how the foreshores are developed”.

“The community’s often expressed views on

how development should proceed have been ignored,” Mr Weir told the Chamber.

“It’s our Foreshores and it should be our decision, not a decision made by faceless bureaucrats and consultants-for-hire.”

Shipperlee claimed the motion seeking valuation on the land also “doesn’t align with what Coffs Harbour City Council had said in its own submissions to the state department of planning and environment” in April 2021.

He told the chamber the valuation was “a waste of residents’ and ratepayers’ money”, claiming the land was in any case “not for sale”.

Mr Weir told the chamber that community consultations in 2018 had ranked the natural environment as the top priority “drawing tourists and locals alike to the foreshores”.

The same consultations had ranked hotel and tourist accommodation 26th in order of priority while provision of residential accommodation had not ranked at all.

The motion to seek an evaluation of the land was passed seven votes to two.

Council Votes To Pursue Foreshore Property Valuation COFFS Harbour City Council has voted to approve a motion to seek a property valuation for a tract of land located between Jordan Esplanade and the North Coast Railway Line at the Jetty Foreshores.

The land is currently owned by Australian Rail Track Corporation.

Council rationale noted that while the land is “presently the subject of the NSW Government’s concept proposal for developing residential units”, community consultation has shown that there is strong appetite for expansion and upgrade of recreational facilities in the Jetty Foreshores area.

Council noted that since Property Development NSW would need to purchase the land at market value on current zoning the “possibility of Council being a purchaser can also be explored”.

“A property valuation would allow Council and community the opportunity to make an informed decision as to whether an alternative vision based on public parkland is preferable for the area,” the Council rationale noted.

A VIEW to the future

By Susan KONTIC THEY may not fit the popular perception of social activists, but VIEW Club members are women with a mission, and members on the Coffs Coast are making their voices heard on some important social issues.

“Our power is in our numbers,” says Maisie Richardson from the Woolgoolga club and, with 15,000 members nationally, their voice is loud.

VIEW (Voice, Interests and Education of Women) Clubs of Australia was formed in 1960 by children’s education charity The Smith Family.

In the past, the members have advocated for reducing child poverty, wage parity and economic security for women among other important issues, with one of their first campaigns, in 1971, to abolish sales tax on contraceptives to make them cheaper.

Right now clubs nationwide are working on three resolutions with particular resonance in regional areas: social and affordable housing for women and children; reducing the use of plastic to assist our environment nationally; and better support for students to prepare for their post-school futures.

“These resolutions are being discussed in our clubs and will be brought up at our national convention,” says Korora VIEW Club President Julianne Schroder.

“We have already started campaigning with letters to government ministers, NGOs and relevant statutory bodies.”

Ecotourism Destination Forum To Address Sustainability

By Paul FOGARTY

ECOTOURISM Australia’s first ever ECO Think Destination Forum will be held on Gumbaynggirr Country from 22-25 March.

Organisers say the forum will bring together regional stakeholders to “discuss sustainable destination management”.

Jointly organised by Coffs Harbour and Bellingen Shire Councils the event is supported by WWF Australia,

Destination North Coast and the Federal Government’s Recovery for Regional Tourism Fund.

The Forum is Ecotourism Australia’s first major event focused solely on destinations through its ECO Destination Certification program.

Coffs Harbour City Council spokesperson Fiona Barden said the forum “aligns seamlessly with the Coffs Coast being recently announced as the first ECO Destination in NSW”.

Ms Barden said the event would allow Councils, local businesses and organisations to “share their knowledge with sustainable tourism experts and strengthen their presence within our community”.

Ecotourism Australia Chair Dr Claire Ellis said the event was a great opportunity for destination operators to share knowledge and be inspired by their varied approaches to destination management.

“The forum is designed to be a two-way conversation about action and implementing change in the region,” Ms Ellis said.

“Since launching our ECO Destination Certification program in 2018 and seeing our first destination achieving certification we now have 18 destinations in the program.”

Ms Ellis said since the reopening of international borders “it is even more critical for us to respond to the growing consumer

photocopiers, self-service kiosks, seating and study spaces.

YAM will operate five exhibition spaces in total featuring an increased number of temporary and touring exhibitions, more exhibition-based events and programs, with greater demand expected for education and school programs.

In addition, there will be a YAM retail outlet on-site.

“Having the Harry Bailey Memorial Library and Yarrila Arts & Museum (YAM) together in Yarrila Place will expand the scope of services we can offer to the community and visitors,” said Nikki Greenwood, Acting Director Sustainable Communities.

“The Yarrila Place building will be open seven days a week with YAM open every Tuesday to Sunday,” added Ms Greenwood.

“The new funding level means that the Library will now also operate seven days

Council Moves Toward Full Level Of Service At Library/YAM

By Paul FOGARTY

COFFS Council last week approved additional funding of $310,000 per annum from 2023/24 to partially expand staffing to deliver improved services, programs and facilities at the Harry Bailey Memorial Library and Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM) at Yarrila Place, Coffs Harbour.

Councillors also agreed to support the principle of moving towards a full level

of service operation within YAM and the Library “in the future”.

Council heard the Harry Bailey Memorial Library will operate over three floors with multiple library service points to provide customer service, manage collection access and provide adequate supervision.

There will also be a significant increase in free customer facilities, including public computers, printers/

demand for sustainability and quality nature-based destinations”.

“We now have a globally accepted framework that demonstrates the value of a whole-of-destination, continuous improvement approach; with councils, tourism organisations, protected area management agencies and the local community working in partnership for the long-term benefit of the environment, residents and visitors.”

Topics tackled at the forum will include ‘nature and tourism as allies’; ‘ecotourism,

a week.”

The additional funding will support operation of The Workshop interactive arts workshop connected to YAM, Story Space storytelling space in the Children’s Library, Make Space designed to support science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics learning activities, The Digital Creative Studio’s high end computers running creative suite software and digital recording facilities, The Young Adult Library and Deck, the Learning Lab and the Family History and Local Studies Room.

“The new and larger

community and culture’; ‘a business environment where ecotourism thrives’, and ‘sustainability is in demand, now what?’.

Keynote speakers include Tourism Australia’s Head of Sustainability Penny Rafferty, TRC Tourism’s Penny Spoelder, Clark Webb of Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School, Ann Walton of NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and local tourism operators Jetty Dive, Mount Browne Cottage, North Coast Regional Botanic Garden, Bellingen Nature Tours and Wajaana Yaam Adventure Tours.

library and YAM will support the liveability of the Coffs Harbour region by increasing equitable access to learning and cultural experiences through additional interactive youth and community spaces, education and leading-edge technologies, as well as cultural spaces that support local artists, writers and creative industries.

“The cultural facilities will also continue to build and develop ongoing community partnerships with our region’s First Nations and multi-cultural communities.”

Coffs’ Local Woman of the Year

By Andrea FERRARI

LOUISE Hardman has been recognised for her significant contribution to the Coffs Coast community with the Coffs Harbour Electorate 2022 Local Woman of the Year Award.

Louise - a scientist, innovator and wastefree plastics educator – is dedicated to working on empowering communities to transform waste to resources.

Attending the awards

ceremony in Sydney with Louise, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “Louise makes an incredible contribution to our community with her drive and passion to make it a better place.

“She’s best known for founding Plastic Collective, a social enterprise to stop plastics entering the oceans and change the way people think about plastic.”

However, taking much of her attention right now are the flood rescue operations

across the Lismore region, where she is currently living on her research boat.

Louise is deeply moved by the efforts of the locals.

“The local tinny brigade – around a hundred people used their own recreational boats and jet skis – rescued on average 20 to 40 people each, so that’s around 3,000 people.

“The ADF rescued 70 people, five days later.

“The 10,000-plus community here rallied for each other in the bravest, life-saving rescues throughout the night and day.

q The Fijian rescuers have saved so many lives in the Lismore flooding.

q Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh, Louise Hardman and NSW Governor Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley at the Local Woman of the Year Award ceremony.

“The community has done all the ‘grunt’ work…I am humbled to see it.

“The main forces that saved so many lives in this disaster were the 100-plus local Tinny Army, a group of Fijian local workers who stayed in the thick of the flooding from sunrise to sunset literally carrying people off rooftops, out of flooded buildings and off the tinny rescue boats to safety, and other locals on the ground bringing food, hugs and supplies.

“There was also a large number of volunteers who drove in from other regions

with supplies and practical help, pulling rubbish out of houses and helping with the clean-up, while the authorities took five days before any real help came, and the Prime Minister on his visit never met with people on the ground.”

Louise is asking that the government escalate the Lismore region’s human and livestock crisis to a top priority and urgently get accessible funding to the people on the ground.

“The way the funding is set up, small businesses can only get a small amount upfront, the rest of the

$50,000 funding requires them to spend first and then be reimbursed for flooddisaster related purchases and expenses.

“The problem is people have lost everything and they don’t have a cash flow.

“They need money in their hands now.

“We want the Federal Government to have a national plan ready for immediate disaster help, and the State Government to get the cash funding to those most badly affected, as most people here feel like they have been abandoned.”

q As the roads turned to rivers, locals rescued some 3,000 people in the first few days.

Kids learn how to avoid wasting food

By Andrea FERRARI

UNDERSTANDING that the food we push to one side on our plate and throw out has an impact on the environment is one lesson youngsters are processing in a new food waste program.

Educators from Coffs Harbour Family Day Care (FDC) have been participating in The Lunch Makers, a new food waste avoidance program which is designed to cut food waste and help families save money and help the environment.

The new Lunch Makers program was rolled out this term to 26 carers, reaching more than 40 families in the Coffs Harbour area.

Families learnt useful tips

and tricks each week to make the most of the food they buy while young children were empowered to get more involved in making their own lunch.

It is estimated that every student wastes 3kg of food each year on average.

Recent studies show that in WA alone, each year, students throw away 3.5 million uneaten sandwiches, 3 million pieces of whole fruit and 1.3 million items of packaged foods.

Coffs Harbour Family Day Care joined MidWaste and the NSW Love Food Hate Waste team to run the program during Term 2.

Bec Wales of Coffs Harbour Family Day Care said the program was a great

success.

“The Lunch Makers program has increased our educators’, children, and families’ understandings of the value of food and how important it is to reduce food wastage,” said Bec. “We have explored the journeys that foods go on before they hit our plate and have expanded our understanding of healthy foods, through cooking and preparing healthy snacks, sharing recipes, and engaging in art and craft experiences.

“Sustainable practices to cut down on food waste have also been highlighted in our explorations and discussions using compost bins and feeding our scraps to the chickens and our very own

pig.

“We have also heard about children sharing their new healthy food and reducing food waste understandings with families which is then extended on at home.”

Becoming a Foster Carer

q Sue and Allan Hindmarsh.

Since adopting Bella the Hindmarsh’s have continued to open their home and foster more children.

CASPA’S Foster Carer Shared Lives training in-person workshop is taking place in Coffs Harbour on consecutive Saturdays: March 26 and 2 April 2022.

“Becoming a foster carer is both rewarding and lifechanging,” Elise Taylor, CASPA spokesperson, told News Of The Area.

“Foster Carer Shared Lives training is structured as an opportunity to ask everything you want to know about fostering.”

The CASPA Foster Care support team focuses on the challenges, rewards, and the role of a foster carer while also touching on the foundation around trauma and childhood development.

“Often people want to become carers because they want to help children in need.

“They don’t realise that by helping a child, you are helping an entire family to heal.

“There is a stigma attached

MidWaste Project Officer Wendy Grant said all families could learn how to reduce food waste at home by signing up for the free online Food Smart program at www. lovefoodhatewaste.nsw.gov.

to parents of children in care, so we will discuss why children come into care.”

For various reasons their families are unable to safely care for them at that point in time.

“The family may be affected by homelessness, a death of a parent or guardian, family breakdown or violence, or maybe there is illness or disability affecting the parent or child's and there isn’t capacity to provide the required level of care.”

Shared Lives training has a strong emphasis on carers developing positive working relationships with parents and families and the different permanency pathways for children.

Foster Carer Training is a free, accredited training program and the first step in the process of becoming an authorised carer.

To become a foster carer, you must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, in good health and willing to undertake a Working with Children Check.

“Having a wide range of carers allows us to meet the individual needs of each child and ensure they are in the best placement for them,” said Elise.

The in-person training is taking place at CASPA offices at 1/43 Gordon Street, Coffs Harbour.

Foster carers Sue and Allan Hindmarsh from Coffs told News Of The Area, “We are blessed to be able to love and nurture children and play a small part in their lives.

“Being a carer brings joy and a great deal of love.

“It is busy, tiring, and emotional and of course has its challenges.

“But it is an immense privilege to be able to support and care for children in their time of need.”

Coffs CASPA coordinates flood relief

By Andrea FERRARI

CASPA Fostering Services in Coffs has spun into action to help its northern CASPA community which has been significantly affected by the Lismore floods.

“Young people and families have lost everything, and our administration services have been severely impacted,” Elise Taylor, CASPA spokesperson, told News Of The Area.

“CASPA has lost multiple properties housing children living in out-of-home care including some with significant disabilities, we are supporting many foster carers, now displaced with foster children in evacuation centres.

“Once we had set up the Lismore office with all the

donations into categories, we invited all foster carers and staff to the office and to collect anything they needed for the children in their care, for themselves and their home.

“Due to the overwhelming response we had from the Coffs Harbour community, we were then able to open the doors to the Lismore community.

“People have been overwhelmed by the generosity and speed at which donations have come into the area to support people immediately.

“This has put us in the position where we could throw open the doors to the whole community.

“Our main office is one of the only buildings in the CBD not damaged by flood and has been set up as a

Billie-Jo Porter plays Coffs pop-up

By Andrea FERRARI

A POP-UP gig from country music singer Billie-Jo Porter from Coffs Harbour saw the Toyota Star Maker talent search finalist perform in a free, mini concert in Coffs Toyota showroom on Orlando Street, last Friday, 11 March.

In the lead-up to the Grand Final, held during the Tamworth Country Music Festival in April, the regional pop-up concerts are a great opportunity for finalists to meet their fans and get a bit of showtime in front of an audience.

Country music fans David and Howie, presenters from 2AIRFM,

Coffs’ local radio station, popped down for the show and had a chat with BillieJo. “I kicked off with ‘Eyes Wide Open’ and then I got a request from David, (to play) ‘Head Full Of Honey’,” Billie-Jo told News Of The Area.

“It’s a popular country music song that I co-wrote with Andrew Swift – he got to No. 7 on the Australiawide Country Music charts with it.

“I hadn’t thought about playing it but when David asked, I thought…OK, and played it.”

Set up in front of a shiny new Toyota Hilux, Billie-Jo laughed, “I couldn’t get too

Michael Ruff, Coffs Harbour Toyota Sales Manager told NOTA that despite the weather not being conducive to the planned outdoors performance, Billie-Jo put on a great performance and the locals who came along enjoyed being up close and personal.

“To have reached the top ten as a finalist in the Toyota Star Maker talent contest is such an achievement and if she wins, well, the world is her oyster really,” Michael said.

“This region is a bit of a breeding ground, with The McClymonts, Troy CassarDaley and Slim Dusty all coming from the Mid North Coast.”

Joining forces for community strength

By Andrea FERRARI

LOSING everything in the Mid North Coast Black Summer Bushfires in 2019/20, homeless with her children and left with just the clothes on their backs, Coffs Harbour’s Sian Whitewolf can identify with the recent experiences of the flood-devastated people of the Northern Rivers, a place where she had lived for over four years.

Feeling a strong pull to Lismore, Coraki and Woodburn, where she had shopped and popped into regularly, an immediate urge to help them kicked in.

“I found out that my wonderful friend Shár Horne was planning to go up there and I suggested we go together,” Sian told News Of The Area.

“We ended up joining forces with an amazing Coffs Harbour group called Alone We Can Do So Little, Together We Can Do So Much, coordinated by Stacii Lee. “These beautiful people had organised storage containers full of donations from the local community of non-perishables and specific items that were much needed at the beginning of the flood recovery.

“Coffs Harbour people were donating from everywhere and we even were granted a free trailer to take it all up.”

Sian drove in a convoy of three cars from Coffs, with Shàr and friends.

“Battling yet more heavy rain on the way up and dangerous roads that had only just cleared from the waters, we navigated vast

potholes and large eatenaway sections.

“We dropped off to evacuation zones of Lismore, Wardell, Coraki and Woodburn.

“It looked like a cyclone had gone through these towns.

“Debris everywhere, the smell of deceased animals in the air, piles of destroyed belongings in front of each house after it had been gutted and vacated.

“Aircraft from the nearby airport in Lismore, (was)

“Cars abandoned and washed up in paddocks, shipping containers washed up in people’s yards and streets inaccessible due to the volume of damage and debris…bulldozers slowly making piles from the neverending sea of waste and destroyed belongings.

“Everyone was still in fight or flight mode up there with determination and an energy of organised chaos about them.

“Tensions (were) high and loss (was) visible in the locals’ faces.

Pests and disease workshop

By Andrea FERRARI

PESTS and disease issues encountered when growing your own vegetables are the main topics covered in a free workshop on Saturday 2 April hosted by Emily Johnston at Coffs Regional Community Garden.

Emily is a plant biosecurity officer based in Coffs Harbour, working for NSW Department of Primary Industries.

A focus of her role is to help create awareness around exotic plant pests and disease and encourage reporting of exotics.

She reached out to Coffs Regional Community Garden earlier in the year to discuss a project she is working on to improve plant biosecurity in urban environments.

With interest from Coffs Regional Community Garden, she plans to work with them to develop activities and

“This may include

“Through this program, Callum and Zali engage with gardeners in urban areas surrounding major air/ sea ports and talk to these community groups about urban biosecurity, pest and disease concerns and what to do if you see a strange pest or disease in the garden.

q AUSVEG Biosecurity Coordinator, Callum Fletcher, presenting to a community garden in Cairns, QLD on the importance of keeping an eye out for unusual pests and diseases that you may spot in the garden.

“What a strong, resilient community led by their hearts, but it really shows what’s missing in government support and response.

“It will take months if not years to rebuild from the mass scale of this disaster with some never fully recovering from this experience.

“It does show how amazing and capable true community spirit is and how important it is for Australians to come together in support and to take action.

“If you would like to help up north for the floods, I suggest you join the local community threads to keep up with what specific help is needed as it changes day to day,” said Sian.

“This program was developed after recognising that a lot of pests that have arrived from overseas (that are not yet present in Australia) have been found in Australia’s cities – in backyards, botanic gardens – rather than in regional plant production areas.”

The workshop takes place on Saturday 2 April 2022 at Coffs Regional Community Garden from 10am until 11:30am.

Australian-first innovation in Cartoon Gallery exhibition

By Andrea FERRARI

A FIRST in the National Cartoon Gallery’s history saw the opening of an exhibition titled ‘The Morrison Years’, featuring works depicting the Prime Minister’s past years in office.

The exhibition features cartoons by three leading and award-winning national cartoonists: The Daily Telegraph’s Warren Brown, Sydney Morning Herald and Age cartoonist Cathy Wilcox

and the Financial Review’s David Rowe.

Cathy Wilcox and David Rowe were in Coffs Harbour last Friday, 11 March, at The National Cartoon Gallery for the opening and were delighted to see the finished exhibition.

They were particularly enthused by the Gallery’s innovation of getting copies of their daily cartoons at the same time as they are sent to their various newspapers.

This enables the Gallery

to have their latest cartoons on display, literally an hour or so after they appear in their major national and metropolitan newspapers.

“This is the first time in Australia that an exhibition could offer its visitors this level of immediacy,” Paul McKeon, Chairman, The National Cartoon Gallery at The Bunker told News Of The Area.

gallery, said that “cartoons are mainly funny when they are commenting on current issues”.

“Last year’s jokes aren’t quite as good”.

All three contributing cartoonists were delighted with this innovation.

David Rowe commented, “This is a brilliant idea and once word gets out, other galleries will be thinking about how they could do something similar.

“Congratulations National Cartoon Gallery.”

According to The National Cartoon Gallery team, the timing of this exhibition is great, as Prime Minister Morrison will be campaigning furiously in a tight election over the next few months.

“The exhibition will remind us of the highs, lows and embarrassments of his Prime Ministership,” said Paul.

“It will also change every week with some new, current cartoons appearing on the walls offering

irreverent comments on the election campaign.”

The Morrison Years exhibition is in the National Cartoon Gallery until May 29.

While this exhibition is in the big, new gallery, the original Bunker Gallery will be hosting an exhibition called ‘The Art of Storytelling’ which is designed to attract a much younger audience interested in comics, animation, Manga and how stories are put together.

This year, Urunga Lions Club hosted the Regional Final with the three contestants: Charlotte, Maya and Rohan.

Chief Judge Michael Trist congratulated local Lions clubs for their recognition of some of the district's outstanding young citizens, and for giving them a platform to showcase their leadership skills.

"It was a privilege for the judges to interact with such positive and accomplished young people,” Michael told

News Of The Area.

“We were very impressed with their desire to make a difference at a local level and beyond.

“They are great role models in their schools and communities, and events like this will develop their ability to promote their ideas into the future."

Charlotte will go on to the Youth of the Year District Finals in Gunnedah on 26 March.

Maya will progress to District Finals in the public speaking section.

THE Need for Feed farmers and producers came trucking through the Coffs Coast again last weekend, 12 and 13 March, on their way with animal fodder to help their fellow farmers in Lismore.

As a Lions Club of Victoria program, the Woolgoolga Lions Club got involved to assist the Need for Feed truckies and crew with their overnight stay.

Jean Vickery, President of Woolgoolga Lions Club contacted Halfway Creek Coles Express and the 24/7 Café who were ready and able to host the truckies to stay overnight.

With 20 trucks and about 30 people it was quite a sight to behold as the convoy arrived.

There has been so much support for Need for Feed locally, after last week’s convoy came through and overnighted with Urunga Lions Club, that the Woolgoolga Club wanted to give the truckies a warm

“Need for Feed started as a project of the Lions Club of Packenham in Victoria in 2007 with feed for drought affected farmers in NSW and has grown since, covering fires, droughts and floods.

“Need for Feed is now a Specialty Lions Club in its own right since January 2021 and their members are mainly made up of truck drivers and their associates volunteering their time to cart the much needed animal food to any affected area on the East Coast,” said Mike.

These inspiring women were: Liz Keen, a Consultant and Executive Producer

with Headline Productions, Carolyn Heise, a Director on the Board of the Cancer Council of NSW and a corporate coach, and Shar Goodwin, a proud Wiradjuri/ Gamilaraay woman and the Deputy Chair of GenHealth.

“Following this, he will take questions from the floor, so please come ready with your questions and comments.

“We chose Steve Allan as our first speaker because this provides a rare opportunity for the arts and cultural community to ask our new Mayor directly what his views are about the future role and status of arts and culture across the Shire.

“I know that he has been a strong supporter of the development of the ArtSpace gallery in Urunga and has ensured that the gallery has been assisted by the Urunga and Mylestom Chamber of Commerce, which he has chaired for a number of years.

“I know Steve reasonably well and always find him very approachable and willing to listen.

“Since the demise of the Council’s Arts and Cultural Committee some years ago, it has been hard to really know where the Council stands in relation to arts and culture.”

FOR thirty years Sawtell Catholic Care has provided accommodation and services to the community we care for.

‘We care’ is our cherished motto.

Marian Grove has been the flagship of our brand over these years, setting a high standard for retirement living.

Twenty years ago, Sawtell Parish saw the need to provide extended care to the frail aged in our community, so we built the Mater Christi residential care home.

Witnessing the growing need for in-home care and the lack of services to address the local demand for this type of support led

us to launch Sawtell Home Care as a new service, which is quickly growing a reputation for unconditional kindness and support.

At Sawtell Catholic Care (SCC) it’s all about the mission.

Our mission is to support and grow our community of Christian care.

The environment around which we provide care and support to the people we serve has always been our beautiful 40 acres of land at Toormina/Sawtell, a place of serenity and sanctuary to many over the years, close to everything, but away from the bustle of an ever-busier world.

q In 2022 we’ll be launching our latest innovation for our community, The Link.

Formerly the site of Cockbain’s Nursery on Hogbin Drive, the huge 3.6 acre garden

has been absorbed into our expanded Marian Grove village precinct, affording residents an unprecedented lifestyle opportunity in their own backyard.

We’ll be opening The

Peace of mind at Oak Tree Retirement Villages TWENTY years ago, Oak Tree Group founders – economist Mark Bindon and lawyer Franco De Pasquale – chose the oak tree as a powerful and aspirational symbol for their dynamic new business.

The partners were ahead of their time when they recognised that retiring Australians, particularly those in outer suburbs and regional towns, had little housing choice and were often forced to move out of their community when the time came to downsize.

Driven by their passion to challenge convention, Mark and Franco set out to meet the need, handpicking the location for each new village, overseeing every aspect of the build, and personally welcoming residents.

A decade later, the Australian Government endorsed their foresight when it predicted Seniors would be the fastest growing demographic group in the nation and their changing needs would place unprecedented demands on the housing sector.

Mark and Franco had known that location was a vital consideration for older people

who desperately wanted the security and comfort of “ageing in place”, close to familiar people, services, and facilities.

Maintaining that connection was even more pressing for retirees who had spent their lives in outer suburbs and regional centres.

Today, the Oak Tree Group is one of Australia’s fastest-growing privatelyowned retirementliving operators with over 30 boutique communities across four states and a portfolio of new developments in the pipeline.

The Oak Tree model puts residents first.

By keeping the footprint of each village

Get Creative and Dance EXPERIENCE the joys and benefits of dance by getting creative at a class at the Julie Ross Dance Studio in Boambee Valley, just south of Coffs Harbour.

Improve your overall physical and mental well being by joining a dance class.

Classes in Dancefit, Basic beginner tap, Intermediate and performance tap run in the day and evening.

The benefits are far reaching and almost immediately participants feel lighter, more confident and happier. Meeting new friends and sharing your love of dance is so easy if you let down the barrier of not feeling good enough.

The classes are for beginners and anyone is welcome to join.

You only need a willingness to participate and you can leave the rest up to our instructors Julie Ross and Gabby Shanks.

Julie teaches the daytime classes and has over 30 years experience in dance teaching.

She also teaches Music and Movement, a seated dance program for Parkinson’s and seniors with balance problems or issues due to ageing.

Gabby Shanks, the new manager and tap teacher from Newcastle, trained at Brent Street and runs the evening adult tap class.

Julie will engage you in her class with old classics from musical theatre as well as jazz and some modern rhythmic beats.

There is room for your own style to develop, however if you are a beginner and prefer to follow along, Julie participates in all the action so you don't have to remember the routines and can relax and follow.

Gabby's classes are always fun and energetic with funky beats and musical theatre as her favourites.

The result is a distinctive and close-knit community specifically crafted to appeal to “locals” in the area.

This makes it easy and convenient to be physically active, to join in with organised activities when it suits, to entertain and to stay socially connected with like-minded friends and neighbours.

As a registered retirement living provider, Oak Tree Retirement Group gives residents the added peace of mind that comes with knowing the company meets the high standards of compliance demanded by the Retirement Villages Act and legislation in every State.

Seniors Week

Coffs Celebrates 2022 NSW Seniors Festival THE largest Seniors Festival in the Southern Hemisphere is coming to the Coffs Harbour area to celebrate our incredible seniors at a special free event at Boambee East Community Centre on 30 March.

After months of distancing, this year’s theme is ‘It’s time to reconnect’ and a day of in-person and online fun activities and entertainment is planned.

“Seniors Week is all about acknowledging and appreciating the contributions that older people make to our community – and giving them something back,” said Coffs Harbour

Mayor Paul Amos.

Coordinated by Coffs Harbour City Council, Mid North Coast Local Health District Health Promotion, Mission Australia Housing, Community Housing Limited, Blue Sky Community Services and the Boambee East Community Centre, the Festival has been made possible with the support of a NSW Seniors Festival Grant of $7,000.

The Festival offers opportunities to engage your mind, activate your body, indulge your senses and provide a chance to make new friends, or get together with old ones.

The Coffs Festival will

feature: • free lunch and morning tea • free entertainment and music • free information sessions including health and wellbeing, preparing for emergencies, personal security, driving and more • free interactive workshops and sessions on art, exercising and waste and recycling • a free booklet of useful services for seniors This is a ticketed event to ensure everyone is Covidsafe.

To book, please go online or phone the Boambee East Community Centre on 6658

part in fitness and social activities.

During that same period, Ingenia Gardens conducted a resident survey and found that 82 percent of residents had a positive outlook on

life and 90 percent were moderately to extremely satisfied with the sense of community they felt.

Both surveys suggest that many community residents experience a sense of peace of mind and in times such as these, community connection has never been more valuable.

Why community living could make you happier and healthier AS a society, we prioritise accumulating wealth during our working lives – so it’s natural to assume having more money is the key to a healthier future.

But research shows that the type of community in

which we live can make a big difference.

Recently, ProMatura conducted a survey of UK retirement community residents and prospective residents and found two-thirds

of retirement community residents said their health had either remained unchanged or improved since they moved in.

And residents were two to five times more likely than non-residents to take

The Shoreline Luxury Retirement Living is taking shape and so is the team THE Shoreline Retirement Village and Aged Care Residence is currently under construction with completion expected later this year.

The Shoreline is conveniently located a short walk from Park Beach Plaza with supermarkets, shops, and medical suits in one direction and stunning Macauleys Headland offering coastal walks in the other.

Despite ongoing delays due to the wet weather throughout January and February the scaffolding has recently been removed revealing the independent living Saltwater Apartments and Aged Care Residence.

This luxurious state of the art residential care home comprises 120 beds and is co-located with the retirement village to create a healthy ageing precinct.

As a resident of The Shoreline, you can enjoy a variety of leisure activities in a community you can call home.

The five-star resort style facilities include a pool, club house, alfresco BBQ and recreation area, bar, café,

q Artist impression of The Shoreline Luxury Retirement Living pool.

indoor gymnasium, outdoor exercise hub, walking circuit just to name a few of the many luxury features.

In addition to resort style facilities and our independent living homes, The Shoreline Aged Care Residence offers a model of care never seen before in Coffs Harbour with integrated services that focus on what makes your or your loved one feel special.

We believe that through innovation and luxurious services the highest levels of supportive care are offered to our residents.

Behind the scenes Owners and Developers, The Bachrach Naumburger Group, are busy bringing together The Shoreline’s team

of experienced professionals to run the luxury facility and ensure the offering is truly exceptional.

This includes our food… and at The Shoreline we expect that the food we serve is of such high-quality that residents, visitors and families can order off the same menu and share the bonds of connection, communication and the traditions that come with sharing a meal with loved ones.

This will be achieved with an emphasis on nutritional, seasonal and fresh food preparation.

To ensure our vision becomes reality The Shoreline welcomes Andrew Wright who joins the team as

Catering Manager.

Andrew has a strong passion for the core principles of the food industry.

With over 30 years’ experience in varying roles including running his own restaurants and catering business, Andrew brings with him a wealth of experience, in fact he has even cooked for the Queen and Rod Stewart!

Andrew said, “I am very passionate about food quality and look forward to putting together a dynamic team to service the residents of The Shoreline and their families and friends.

“Good food can create a smile and in turn makes everyone feel great.”

With a focus on person

centred care The Shoreline has also appointed a Wellbeing Services Manager whose role is focused on supervising The Shoreline team that has daily interactions with residents as it relates to personal care, activities, cleaning, and assistance in feeding and personal needs.

We welcome Belinda Kennedy, who has worked in the aged care industry for twelve years as an Enrolled Nurse and has a genuine passion for the sector.

Belinda believes that when you walk through our doors you become one of our family and part of our community.

Our staff ensure that your life is the centre of everything we do.

We have more one-onone time for you in your personal home-like luxury environment.

We support you and your community with family, cultural and volunteer programs.

We also cater to the needs of residents living with Dementia.

To ensure our aged

care residents transition into The Shoreline is simple and carefree, The Shoreline also welcomes Kerrie Field as our Customer Relations Consultant.

Kerrie joins us with a wealth of experience having worked in the aged care sector for over twelve years with extensive knowledge of the industry to help our clients demystify the process for entering aged care which can be very confusing.

When asked why she wanted to work for The Shoreline Kerrie said, “I was drawn to this role due to the values and behaviours The Shoreline represent or their CREED; Caring, Respect, Excellence, Engaged and Dignity.

“I feel I present these values in my day to day working life and I thoroughly enjoy the interaction with residents and their families.

“It’s a very difficult and challenging time for a lot of people entering aged care and being patient and compassionate really is the key.”

For any enquiries regarding residential aged care Kerrie can be contacted via enquires@theshoreline. com.au

Views, vibes and incredible food at the Jetty Beach House

q A beautiful space for the community to celebrate and to embrace food, art, family and culture.

HOW would you best describe a dining experience at the Jetty Beach House?

“Poised atop the ocean with panoramic coastal views, a visit to Jetty Beach House is a celebration of the best that the Coffs Coast has to offer.

“We’re here for laid back afternoons spent amongst family and friends, dancing the night away with live music and DJs, and creating memories to cherish in our purpose-built functions space,” said Dave Mansfield, General Manager, Jetty Beach House.

Who is behind the menu? What inspires the style of food on offer?

“Our menu has been a collaborative effort from the team behind Bang Bang Byron and Noosa, Amplify Events and Byron Bay’s Treehouse on Belongil, with some fabulous local chefs stepping in to highlight the flavours of the region.

“We are thrilled to announce our new head chef, long term local, Ana

Vlastaras.

Ana’s exciting vision for our menu is to offer an elevated selection of the familiar, paired with some bold new dishes all whilst showcasing the best produce the region has on offer.

What does the chef recommend and what does the chef like to eat at home?

“Being so close to the sea, we can’t walk past our beautiful, delicate Market Fish Ceviche, with mango, lime and coriander.

“At home, Ana is all about fresh, wholesome, local produce, and using this as a springboard to build a whole recipe around.

“We cannot wait to see this influence featured on our upcoming menus.

Can you tell us a bit of the history of the restaurant and what inspired you to create such a venue?

“To be entirely honest, we simply couldn’t walk past the stunning views of Corambirra Point, Jetty and Gallows Beaches plus the

backdrop of the mountains.

“Gumbayngirr Country is just such stunning land to tread and we’re so lucky to have a home here.

“The old Deep Sea Fishing Club has such a strong place in the community too.

“We really just wanted to see it flourish.

“We were driven to create a beautiful space for the community to celebrate and to embrace food, art, family and culture.

“All with a cheeky cocktail in hand…,” Dave said.

Celebrating Women in Horticulture THE theme for International Women’s Day 2022 is #breakthebias and Oz Group is taking the opportunity to celebrate the role that women play in horticulture both through their grower base and in the packhouse as well.

Production Supervisor Sussan Marshall, herself celebrating sixteen years with Oz Group said, “This week is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase the role that women play in our cooperative.”

“The role of women in horticulture has long been one of partnership, supporting

their husbands or partners in their farms, and we have some wonderful examples of women breaking that bias and excelling on their own terms both on the farm and in business management.”

Oz Group’s most recent gender diversity reports shows that 44 percent of the staff employed are female, which management say reflects Oz Group’s commitment to breaking the bias.

Melissa Eichmann, Human Resources Manager at Oz Group said, “We are actively attracting more women to our packhouse,

and we have seen a lot more women this last season than previous seasons due to initiatives such as flexible working conditions.

“Our packhouse supervisors and team leaders team consists of twelve women and one man and our senior management team at Oz Group is 50 percent female.”

Chairman of the Board of Directors, Satpal Singh Gill, said, “I am proud to say we have an awesome team of women that are the heartbeat of our cooperative.

“I appreciate the effort they put in day in, day out.”

Deathbed gifting dispute HOWARD is terminally ill and in the final days of his life, he decides to give his friend Sarah, a gift as she had been by his side during the last twelve months.

Howard hands Sarah his debit card, tells her his PIN number and says, “I want you to spend the money and enjoy yourself.”

He also gives her his house keys and says, “Thank you for spending so much time with me here in my house, I want you to live here and enjoy the view.”

When Howard dies, the executor of his will seeks to recover the proceeds of Howard’s bank account from Sarah and take possession of the house for distribution to the beneficiaries named in Howard’s will.

Court action ensues.

In determining whether the ‘inter vivos’ gifts to Sarah were valid, the Court had to decide whether Howard possessed the necessary intention to part with the assets, whether he had the capacity to make these decisions, whether he understood what he was giving and the implications of his decision.

In relation to the bank account, the Court considers the available evidence and ultimately rules in Sarah’s favour, declaring the gift valid on the basis that Howard demonstrated a clear intention that he wanted Sarah to have the funds.

However, in relation to the gift of the house, even though the Court determined that it was Howard’s intention to gift the house to Sarah, under New South Wales law, real estate can only be transferred by way of a written instrument.

The Court therefore ordered that the gift was invalid and that the house formed part of Howard’s estate.

If Howard had incorporated the gifts into a deed, or updated his will to include the house, expensive Court proceedings would have been avoided.

Prior to making gifts in contemplation of death it is important to seek legal advice.

Thank you to Anthony Fogarty for his assistance with this column.

DEAR News Of The Area, MY wife and I visited our daughter and grandson in Brisbane at the beginning of March.

We filled our car in Coffs for 183.9 cents per litre, which was five cents cheaper than here in Woopi.

The weather conditions saw us getting caught a few extra days in Brisbane and the only way back home was a circuitous route inland back to Woolgoolga.

DEAR Jasminda,

WHAT is the correct method for giving guests a hint to go home when they have stayed well past your bedtime, and you have to work the next day?

George T. Dear George,

ANZAC Memorial for Brelsford Park DEAR News Of The Area,

I HAVE recently read an original account of Australia and the First World War! And what an extraordinary account it was.

Never in all my years have I been so personally drawn into the respective lives and roles of those, and their families, who so gallantly and unhesitatingly volunteered for service – unto death!

Why is it that we cannot create an impressive and stunningly beautiful ‘ANZAC Memorial’ Garden/Park in Brelsford Park?

Why do we need to annually squeeze so many children, groups, citizens and dignitaries into such a small area fronting the C.ex Club?

What is wrong with our vision: both short and long?

Having shown our inability to make a ‘forthright’ decision regarding a comprehensive Performing Arts and Cultural Centre, let’s not do the same for our ANZAC remembrances. Smaller communities than Coffs Harbour have created most heartlifting parks from which citizens and visitors will be perpetually proud of those who so bravely deserve to be remembered.

Oh, one other thing!

Who makes decisions of this kind?

Thanking you, Kenneth PALMER, Coffs Harbour.

Public Toilet Dismay DEAR News Of The Area,

I RECENTLY used the public toilets at Woolgoolga Beach Reserve and I am concerned and dismayed at the fact that these toilets, for men and women are located within the children’s playground.

It is common knowledge that the favourite haunts of paedophiles are children’s playgrounds and public toilets, and in Woolgoolga here it is served up on a plate.

Having the toilets in such a situation gives any potential paedophile a total right to be in that vicinity.

No matter how vigilant a parent is, there is always the unguarded moment when a little child can be led away, and in this playground it is only a matter of metres.

A simple remedy is to reconfigure the fencing so that the toilets are located outside the playground fence.

Also, where are the public showers and change rooms now located at Woolgoolga Beach?

Regards, Coral JOHNSON, Woolgoolga.

Please explain petrol price inconsistency We were surprised to see on the outskirts of Warwick, QLD, that unleaded 91 was 177.9 per litre.

The further we drove the cheaper it got and we saw 173.9 per litre.

I know that it is a hoary old chestnut, but why?

Years ago we were told that it was more

32 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

expensive inland because of transport costs.

Then we knew that a few years ago Qld was always cheaper, but at Carindale near our daughter's place it was the same price as Coffs.

I know that as consumers we are at the mercy of the market but I am angry that we are being gouged, and really, there is nothing

media@newsofthearea.com.au

THIS scenario is a challenge; it really depends on how close you are to your guests.

If you have known them for years, it is more than appropriate to say, "Good night, everyone. Some of us have work tomorrow, but feel free to stay and drink into the early hours. The recycle bin is in the carport. There's a swag in the shed if you don't want to catch a taxi home."

If, however, they are relatively new acquaintances, you may need to use a bit more diplomacy. Start by glancing at the wall clock every few minutes and stifling yawns, saying, "Goodness, I've had such a great time that I didn't realise how late it was."

If this doesn't work, ask if anyone would like a tea or coffee, which is understood by most people to be 'time to wrap up the evening' lingo.

If they say they'd rather stick to the gin and tonics, then you will have to up the ante.

Perhaps you could introduce an activity you know they will hate.

A Quordle challenge, for example.

Or Monopoly. Or Just Dance Nintendo.

If they are up for any of these suggestions, make sure that next time you catch up, you make it at their house, so you can leave any time you want to.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Climate Action Now DEAR News Of The Area, THE coming election is boiling down to three issues: the climate, the economy and national security.

The recent not so natural disasters have highlighted the need for climate action and the economy is suffering for the lack of it.

National security is costly too but if we do not overcome the impending threat of the un-natural disasters caused by climate change how can we deal with the other two?

Regards, Brian MAHONY, Coffs Coast Climate Action Group. we can do.

There… I have got that off my chest.

OPINION & LETTERS

Silting solution still essential DEAR News Of The Area,

I AM concerned about proceeding with the intended plan to fix the silting problem at Coffs Harbour boat ramp.

As a commercial fisherman I started netting Coffs' beach and walls in 1947, retiring about ten years ago.

The nets used were rather large, so the pull on them told me the exact directions of the currents.

Over the 50 or so years I gained a fair bit of knowledge on our Harbour.

It is on this knowledge that I base my concerns.

When the grant was acquired for the ramp a lot of thought went into it, regarding the site, parking area etc.

However there seems to have been no research done on the possibility of a silting problem.

It wasn’t long before that the ramp

entrance silted up and a backhoe was used to clear the silt.

As the silt was all in the neck of the ramp area or up against the shore, the backhoe had no trouble reaching and removing all the silt.

A small sludge pump may have been a better tool.

As time went by, this silt still built up and had to be shifted.

So, it was decided to go for another grant to fix the problem.

The second grant was obtained and the job soon started.

I was in the vicinity of the worksite almost every day.

I witnessed the whole attempted fix.

The only thing I saw done was the lengthening of the breakwater.

If anything else was done, it didn’t work either.

We must concede the fixed ramp was not

fixed, because there is more than twice the area trea now affected by silt than before the fix.

Much of this new silted area is out of reach for backhoe or dredging.

The ramp will probably now need a dredge to keep the area in safe condition.

Recently published in Coffs Harbour News Of The Area was a story and plan about what is to be done to cure the ramp’s problems.

Now if the plan consists merely of lengthening the wall again, we should all be concerned.

If we are to learn from our last mistakes we should be asking ourselves a simple question.

Where is the silt coming from and how is it getting to where it is?

Well southerly weather pounds into the Harbour along the inside of Muttonbird Island, then along the boat Harbour wall until

Indue Card - undemocratic invasion upon human rights DEAR News Of The Area, HANDS up all those who believe Australia is a democracy?

Hands up all those who do online shopping, go to your local bowls club, and play bingo.

Before my research into the LNP Indue Card (also known as the Healthy Welfare Card or Cashless Debit Card which started off as the Basics Card in the Northern Territory), l would have agreed with you that of course Australia is a democracy and we have economic freedom.

Wrong on so many accounts.

If you receive just one dollar from

Centrelink you can be forced to go onto the Indue card and your basic human rights are removed.

Depending on where you live, or where the LNP government sticks a thumb tack in the map of Australia – Coffs Harbour could be next.

Currently the towns of Ceduna, Kununurra, Wyndham, Kalgoorlie, Hinkler and Tennant Creek are all undergoing mandatory trials of having all their financial affairs managed against their will by the LNP government.

The Indue card is now undergoing a major expansion to many parts of Australia.

Opposing voices to the card has been

ignored by the government.

Democracy and independence of financial choice are for some but not for others.

If you are on any sort of a government benefit or pension, aged and veterans affairs, or Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, unemployed, a single parent, carer, or a person with a disability, you can be deemed incapable of enjoying democracy or financial choice.

Are we revisiting Europe in the 1930s, or becoming too close to the South China Sea area?

How does belittling and demonising sections of the community help with situations of domestic violence, intergenerational trauma and extreme poverty?

The LNP seems to enjoy causing pain

it reaches the beach at the Yacht Club.

This turbulent water is carrying silt, evident by the fact that from the Harbour entrance, right down the boat Harbour wall and to the surf, the Harbour is silting.

When this silt-laden water reaches the surf it is pushed south down the Jetty Beach by the current caused by the constant seas pounding on the north wall.

The silt-laden water, upon reaching the end of the beach, starts travelling out the south wall until it reaches the boat ramp.

When it strikes the breakwater it loses its momentum, causing the water to drop its load against the wall ramp.

Still water can not suspend silt.

Let me slip in a hypothetical here.

Supposing this third wall traps silt like the previous two, do you think the Government will give us a few more million to have another go?

Regards, Keith ANDERSON, Coffs Harbour.

to thousands of people via their friends and financial counterparts in the mining industry.

Why does the Indue Card have to be mandatory?

Where is Australian democracy and financial choice for all?

Please do your own research if you are concerned about being placed on the Indue Card against your will, and having an upstart thirty year old that has all your Mygov private details on their screen telling you what you can afford and what you cannot.

The Older Women’s Network has a great analysis on their website of this horrendous card, where even a woman was denied the ability to buy a bra, because it was an online purchase.

Yours sincerely, Ms Margaret JOHANSON, Coffs Harbour.

Importance of Indigenous language teaching GIINAGAY News Of The Area,

I HAVE been watching the development of the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School with interest.

It was gratifying to read in the News Of The Area (‘Gumbaynggirr Giingana

Freedom School Opens Its Doors’, Andrew Vivian, p12, 11 March Edition) of the opening of this school.

It has been shown in numerous locations throughout the world (e.g. Wales, US, Aotearoa/New Zealand) that when children are taught in their Indigenous

language and culture, then it has huge benefits (to the individual child and to their families and communities.)

It behooves those of us from nonIndigenous cultures to support and applaud this development. I wish the school (and its teachers and pupils) well and offer a "kia

PROPERTYWEEK

28 Bardsley Crescent, Toormina $799,000-$819,000 3 bed, 1 bath, 1 car Open House: Saturday 19 March, 10.0010.30am

THIS ideally located property will suit families, or downsizers and has the added bonus of council approval for a home business.

The one owner property was built thirty-one years ago and has received some recent updates, with new flooring, new ceiling fans, renovated kitchen and fresh paint.

Entry to the home is via the spacious loungeroom with low maintenance vinyl timber planks, which flows through to the tiled dining area.

Adjacent to the dining room is the centrally renovated kitchen with electrical

appliances, laminate breakfast bar, and microwave/appliance cupboard, overlooking the second living area that was added to the home in 1999.

The addition of the sunroom not only adds plenty of light to the home but also provides a wonderful space to sit and relax overlooking the rear yard with established trees and gardens. The sunroom is currently divided into three, adding an extra bedroom and a study to the home, which is perfect for large families needing the space.

You can leave the bedroom and study in place or remove the temporary walls to enjoy the sunroom in its full size.

To the right of the home, you will find the three extra-large bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes, timber look vinyl flooring, and ceiling fans.

The second and third bedrooms are council approved for a home beauty salon.

A ramp at the side of the house provides entry through sliding doors to the second bedroom, which is a great option for those wanting to have a work from home office with external access. The third bedroom previously used for a beautician’s room has its own basin, as the plumbing is already in place, why not install an ensuite to add to the functionality of the home.

The fully fenced backyard is private with a timber deck sitting area, brick BBQ and as the yard is level it provides a great space for the kids and pets to play.

This home genuinely has a lovely feel and plenty of potential, call for an inspection.

Students Join Nationwide Strike For Climate

“I’m passionate about speaking out about the devastating effects of climate change and advocating measures that need to be taken,” he said.

James said he will address the rally about the importance of putting people over profit, achieving Net-Zero by 2030 and taking more action to mitigate climate change!

“People only have to look outside of their windows to see what’s happening to our planet, yet our politicians continue to distract us with greenwashing campaigns rather than actual climate policy.”

James and Rataj say that the Morrison Government has shown us time and again that they do not care about the future of young Australians.

Their perspective is that the Prime Minister’s support for the fossil fuel industry shows clearly where his priorities are - and young people are not on that priority list and the Government is failing young people and future generations.

When alcohol makes home unhappy

By Andrea FERRARI

TEENAGERS living in a home where someone is drinking a lot of alcohol, and making the home unhappy or dangerous, have a group they can seek help from.

Alateen is the teenagers wing of Al-Anon, a support group for people affected by another person’s drinking.

Al-Anon has an active group in Coffs Harbour and they encourage teenagers seeking help from Alateen to access the resources online.

Judy, a spokesperson for Al-Anon, told News Of The Area, “I was a child and then a teenager growing up in a household affected by

excessive drinking of alcohol.

“My parent didn’t slur their speech and they didn’t stagger about the house, so I thought the problem couldn’t be too serious “But it was serious.

“So much so that by my mid-twenties I couldn’t keep going and sought help,” said Judy.

In Al-Anon, Judy says she found people who understood and who had great compassion.

They talked openly about experiences that to her had been secrets.

“In the alcoholic home, the rule is ‘Don’t feel, don’t trust, don’t speak’.

“In Al-Anon I learnt a new

vocabulary.

“It helped me identify my feelings.

“In the past I couldn’t name my feelings, so they just didn’t exist,” said Judy.

“Because I didn’t have many skills for dealing with life, thoughts would go around and around in my head all day, and give me great anxiety.

“This is one piece of literature I learnt my heart and used frequently to settle myself.”

‘Just for today I will be unafraid.

‘Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so that

q

world will give to me’.

“Although there is no quick fix, I knew I needed help and found a new family of help and support in AlAnon.”

Today there is online help and support for teenagers.

A sentimental journey

By Susan KONTIC

A FRIENDSHIP spanning 74 years began in 16th Avenue, Sawtell.

Malcolm Cutlack recently made a sentimental journey back to Sawtell to honour the enduring friendship between his late wife Colleen and her lifelong best friend Coral, who had also recently passed away.

He also hoped to reconnect with former acquaintances.

“My purpose in talking about it is to remind us of life’s connections – no matter how much time has elapsed,” explains Malcolm.

“I was sure there would be people who still remembered Colleen Dawn Wells and Coral Butler and their families.

“Of course, Sawtell has changed dramatically since these girls came together in 1946 prior to starting kindergarten,” Malcolm acknowledges as he takes us through a quick history

Alateen meetings guided by two accredited adult Al-Anon members.

Teenagers can go to www. al-anon.org.au to register and discuss the way forward.

In Coffs Harbour, AlAnon holds two face-toface meetings, one on

Mondays at 12.30pm at the Presbyterian Church Hall, 187 Harbour Drive, and the other on Fridays at 6pm at the Salvation Army Hall at 40 Mastracolas Road.

lesson.

Colleen’s parents were Albert George Wells of Lowanna and Coffs Harbour and Eva Zillah Rogers of Gladstone.

Albert and his bullock team were pulling timber out of Lowanna when they married, and the family moved to 16th Avenue, Sawtell in the 1940s.

Four Wells families lived on 16th Avenue, including aunts and grandparents, and they owned Sawtell Timber Mill in that street.

q Through the years: Colleen at various stages of her life, including her debut, her engagement to Malcolm and dancing at their son’s wedding.

q Sport featured strongly in Colleen’s life and at twelve years old she was already 174cm tall and a champion high jumper.

Coral’s parents, Victor and Winifred Butler, also moved to 16th Avenue in the early 1940s.

Victor was a builder and he built the Wells' house.

Colleen and Coral were inseparable through primary school and when Colleen’s family moved to Middle Boambee in 1952 and Coral’s family left for Sydney, they kept in regular contact by mail.

In 1960, as eighteenyear-olds, the girls moved into separate flats in North Sydney to be closer to city employment, and the following year they each

met the man they would marry - Colleen to Malcolm and Coral to Werner Mast.

For 43 years Colleen and Malcolm lived in Mullane Avenue Baulkham Hills and raised their family there, while Coral and Werner were at nearby St Ives then Galston.

A friendship spanning 74 years is something to cherish, and Malcolm would welcome the chance to share memories with readers who remember Colleen or Coral or their families.

Sawtell footballer plays for Sydney Swans Academy team

By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL’s Hamish Anderson has had a golden opportunity to impress AFL selectors.

The Sawtell/Toormina Saints player was part of the Sydney Swans Academy side who played the GWS Giants Academy in Canberra on the weekend.

The match was Round 1 of the Male Northern Academy Series, which is a key element of the Swans Academy’s preparation for the involvement in the 2022 NAB League Boys under 19 talent pathway competition.

Playing in the NAB League will give Anderson a chance

to impress recruiters, as it is the main avenue for talented players to be spotted by AFL club recruiters and invited to attend the National Draft.

The seventeen-year-old has been part of the Sydney Swans Academy since late last year, which is the AFL club’s development program for players in NSW aged between 11 and 19.

This has involved him making constant trips from Sawtell to Sydney for Swans Academy training sessions and benchmark testing since November.

Anderson described his overall experience with the Sydney Swans Academy, and

the necessary travel it entails.

“The standard at training is extremely high and I can feel how much I’ve developed over the past five months,” he said, “I’m keen to go as far in the sport as I’m able, and doing the travel is just part of what it means to be an athlete based in a regional area.”

He explained his role within the Swans Academy side.

“The Academy has told me that I’ll be playing on a wing and pushing up into the forward line,” he said.

“My role is to cover plenty of territory and deliver the ball to the forwards to create scoring opportunities.”

“I was the youngest for my age division, and it was really tough because all the kids can surf really well and I was just stoked to get into the final,” he said.

“I kind of stuck to what I was doing and just played it wave by wave really, as you needed flow to be able to go well because if you got caught behind the wave then you can’t do anything else.”

Martin’s next big event will be the Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic next weekend.

“The most we are hoping for are personal bests, and we’ve got a good mix of athletes that are not only sprinters, but other events such as triple jump, long jump, throwers, walkers, and middledistance runners.”

Lions roar on in cup

By David WIGLEY COFFS City United Lions roared into round five of the Australia Cup with a 9-0 demolition of Iona FC last Saturday at Coffs Football Centre.

The Lions attacked from the opening whistle and went close on several occasions until Lorenzo Rigoni broke the deadlock after 23 minutes which opened the floodgates.

Three minutes later Glory Obang nodded home a corner kick, before Joel Hampson scored two goals and Rigoni added a second to set up a 5-0 lead at half time.

Second half goals from Habib Noorani, Blake Townsend, Nick Mallett and Azad Qasim eased the Lions into the fifth round of the Cup. Iona FC will be pleased with their run in the cup considering it is their debut season in senior grade which Lions captain Scott Goddard acknowledged.

“Obviously, the scoreline suggests it was a convincing win, but Iona have a great young side with a lot of promise. “They have a philosophy and style of play that they stuck with despite the scoreline and I found that commendable, I'm sure

“For us, it was great to see us use a lot of strength in depth off the bench, there have been great numbers attending preseason and there is competition for spots all across the park.

“This game showed that no positions are locked down and many of our younger players are breaking the door down trying to secure a spot which has us really wellpositioned to aim for a cup run and a strong start to the season.

“The draw for the next round is on Monday, and it'll be a tricky fixture regardless of who we get.

“We love the opportunity to play teams from other leagues and try to progress as far as possible.

q Joel Hampson scored two goals for the Lions in their 9-0 win over Iona FC.

“Although the format is a little different this year, playing all the games prior to the league season starting, we still want to see how far we can go and that means preparing for the next match as well as we can regardless of who we draw or where we need to travel to.”

GROUP 2 Junior Rugby League’s best players are on the verge of playing finals football as they represent the North Coast region in prestigious representative competitions.

The North Coast Bulldogs under 18s and 16s representative teams are still in contention for semi-final spots in their respective SLE Laurie Daley Cup, and SLE Andrew Johns Cup competitions.

The Bulldogs under 18s sit in fourth spot on the ladder with three wins and a draw, while the Bulldogs under 16s side sit in seventh spot with two wins from four games, but can still make the semi-

finals with the fourth placed side sitting just one point ahead of them.

Both the Bulldogs sides were victorious in Round 4, which was rescheduled to last weekend due to the recent flooding.

The Bulldogs under 18s had a comprehensive 34-16 win against the Illawarra South Coast Dragons in Newcastle, while the under 16s Bulldogs had a 26-16 win against the Dragons to keep their finals hopes alive.

“It’s potentially for top spot and if we win, we play finals.”

“Our positive team culture is one of our main strengths, and we’re big on positivity and have the ability to fight back,” he said.

have, our plan is to stick to ‘our plan’ and not to worry about what the opposition is doing.

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Coast Tigers pounced into round 5 of the Australia Cup with a 3-1 win over Coastal Premier League newbies Bellingen FC last Saturday.

First half goals from Jacob Field and Christian Mirindi put the Tigers in the box seat but the Tigers were

forced to fight in the second half as Bellingen fought back with a goal from Finn Baron which gave the Bats a glimmer of hope.

Tigers captain Luke Kliendienst said it was a game of two halves.

“The game was a good game, obviously football is a game of two halves and I think we dominated the

first half having created a lot of chances.

“Bello came out hard in the second half and showed they are going to be a strong outfit in the Coastal Premier League.

“I’m proud of the boys for pushing through the whole 90 minutes in the very hot conditions,” said Luke.

q Tigers celebrate a win against CPL rivals Bellingen FC.

q Bellingen FC coach Henry Gale was pleased with the performance considering the Tigers scored ten goals against CPL opposition the previous week.

“Coming up against a Coffs Coast Tigers who had just won 10-0 against another Coastal Premier League side, we knew we had our work cut out for us especially as we couldn't train through the week.

“We gave the ball away too cheaply in dangerous areas for us and we were a step off the pace for most of the first half.

“We were happy to turn it around in the second half and pressure them in more awkward areas, but in the end our mistakes ended up costing us.

“We haven't been able to get any time on the ball at training due to our pitch being mostly underwater and a huge lack of areas to

train indoors in Bellingen which was very evident that our fitness isn't quite there.

“Hopefully this rain stays away enough to get more sessions on the park so we can have a head of steam coming into the season.

“That game being our first competitive game of the season and only third match this year, Coffs Coast having played five or more (games) shows.

fifth round of the Australia Cup after a dominant 9-0 victory against Port Macquarie-based Iona FC. It was the Lions third straight win in this year’s Australia Cup, as they look to repeat their feats of last year in which they reached the Round of 64.

The weather played havoc with Competitor numbers but all who attended enjoyed the 4 days.

Saturday was fine only raining in the evening, Sunday saw a few showers during competition.

Monday was dogged with patches of extremely heavy rainfall which made target changes challenging.

Finally on Tuesday we had a pleasant day with light winds.

In the rimfire events we had a new National record shot by NSW competitor Brian Mitchell his 250.17 being shot in the LB Rimfire.

Possible maximum score is 250.25 the 25 being a small dots in the middle of the bullseye, competitors are only allowed a scope with a magnification of 6x for this event so to hit 17 out of 25 at 50m is mind blowing.

ABC, 8.30pm

NBN, 9pm

This week marks the halfway point of this enjoyable homegrown crime drama, which unabashedly taps into tropes and formulas. After all, there’s a reason why the disgraced ex-cop and eccentric private investigator are recurring characters; it is gratifying to immerse in the motivations and stories of those who step out of mainstream society. The scenic, unforgiving setting in outback NT doesn’t hurt, either, adding another sense of otherness to the mystery. Tonight our American ex-cop, Ted (Thomas Jane), and PI with a shady past, Amanda (Nicole Chamoun) find their investigation getting more difficult, just as Ted receives some bombshell news from his wife Kelly (Radha Mitchell).

The world feels like a crazy place at the moment.

But if tuning into a series that helps you forget the headlines and news is a high priority, this American science fiction drama could be your remedy. Just beware: it’ll probably make your head spin. So far, the story of two families’ lives torn apart by a massive sinkhole in LA – which also happens to be a portal – has either frazzled or thrilled viewers. But it’s so over the top, weakly acted and confusingly written that it’s a sure-fire distraction. Tonight, a super storm causes chaos, while Gavin (Eoin Macken) embarks on a journey into his past, which might be the key to saving his family in the present. It’s exhausting, in a diverting way.

ABC, 8.30pm

It’s rare for a crime series to pull on the heartstrings as much as this award-winning sensation. Returning tonight for its fourth season, the British series is awash with emotion and intricate characters, none the least its protagonists, DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar), who share a beguiling friendship as partners in a police unit that deals with cold cases. In this premiere episode, the fourth season begins to unfurl with a peek into the lives of four fascinating suspects after a body is found in a huge scrap yard. Stuart and Khan discover they all have one thing in common: connections with the law.

Friday, 18 March 2022

By David WIGLEY

NORTH Coast Football made it a clean sweep in their opening fixtures of the National Premier League last Saturday against Lake Macquarie FC. The North Coast scored 24 goals as they cruised past Lake Macquarie in all four age groups with the under 13s winning 7-2, under 14s winning 9-0 and the under 15s and 16s both winning 4-1.

NCF appointed their first female coach, Helen Moseley, to coach the under 13s and it’s been a big turn around for the side, considering they went down 17-0 in their opening fixture this time last year.

getting carried away after one match.

“Despite our first major injury coming in the first 20 seconds of the 2022 campaign, it was a great round one for our NPL squads.

“Putting 24 goals in the back of the net on day one and only conceding four goals across the four grades is something to be very pleased with.

“Although we’ve had a great day out today we know it only gets tougher from here, we keep our expectations high and get back to training this week trying to improve on this week’s performances,” said Alex.

NCF will take on Maitland FC on Saturday 19 March at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility.
