Coffs Coast Roller Derby rolls into 2021 FROM Page 1 games for a year, Coffs Coast is looking to get everyone back on their skates and reforming the team for when games start back up again,” said Heavey. To the untrained eye, a game of Roller Derby can look chaotic but it is a game that requires skating skills, speed, strength and a good handle on the tactics. Points are awarded when the offensive player from one team, known as the ‘Jammer’, laps any member of the opposing team. As a full contact sport, the defensive players of the opposing team, known as blockers, can use physical force to stop the jammer passing them, as well as helping to clear the way for their own jammer. The players demonstrated how the blockers stop the jammer and it wasn’t for the faint hearted as everyone except Mia Golding aka Busty Springfield ended up on the floor. “What makes it awesome is that it is played using offensive and defensive strategies

q The Jammer (in blue) tries to overtake the Blockers (in black). q The Blockers stop the Jammer and Mia Golding aka Busty Springfield starts the celebration.

at the same time, it’s a full body contact sport,” said Heavey. In order to play Roller Derby new skaters must first learn skating skills and then progress to attacking and blocking drills before they play competitively. “We coach all levels of skating capabilities from getting you rolling to team derby training and competition ready, new skaters learn all the skate skills and getting you rolling, the bridging program is where skaters transition to playing roller derby through learning the basic minimum skills required to play and roller derby team training, for competitive game play,” said Heavey. Camaraderie and inclusivity is a key part of the club philosophy. “Coffs Coast Derby promotes a diverse and inclusive community for all, with a super positive culture, the people are amazing and from all walks of life. “We also promote positive and healthy body imaging, increasing confidence on skates no matter age, race or gender and have put on several skating fundraisers for the local community,” concluded Heavey.

Koala fencing along Hogbin Drive hoped to protect local koala population FROM Page 1 KOALA exclusion fencing is to be installed along Hogbin Drive, Coffs Harbour in an effort to protect the local native koala population. At Coffs Harbour City Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 February, councillors endorsed the commencement of a project in the 2020/2021 financial year to install koala exclusion fencing along priority sections of Hogbin Drive, should external funding become available. The motion was voted for

by councillors Denise Knight, Paul Amos, John Arkan, Keith Rhoades, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley, and was opposed by councillors Michael Adendorff and George Cecato. The local koala population is currently at threat from disease, bushfires, road death, dog attack and clearing and fragmentation of koala habitat. Data from WIRES has recorded 21 incidents (13 deaths and eight sightings) of koalas in the Hogbin Drive area from 2006 to September 2020. While broader actions to

Following Council collaboration with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment Biodiversity and Conservation Division and the analysis of the feasibility of various options to reduce the instance of vehicle strike to koalas along Hogbin Drive, the installation of koala exclusion fencing was found to be the only viable long term solution. “The stretch of Hogbin

Drive from the airport to the university campus has been identified as a blackspot by the Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service (WIRES), Council and the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, because of the high number of sightings and koala deaths caused by traffic,” Council’s Team Leader Biodiversity Sally Whitelaw said. “Having looked carefully at the issue, we all agree that the installation of koala exclusion fencing is the only viable longterm solution at that location and we’re looking at ways to fund those works as soon as possible.” Ms Whitelaw said Council investigated several other options to protect the local

koala population along Hogbin Drive. “The road is already signposted with koala signs, but we know that these become less effective over time for local drivers as they become ‘sign blind’ on roads they use a lot,” Ms Whitelaw said. “Additional signage – including on-road surface marking or flashing warning signs – as well as speed reduction were also investigated, but were found to be unsuitable due to the high volume of traffic and the road’s importance as a key route. “Lighting, more under or overpasses, audio deterrents,

roadside reflectors and emerging technology such as virtual fences were also investigated, but current evidence has not shown them to be as effective as koala exclusion fencing.” Scoping of the project has indicated that fencing will cost in the range of $450,000 to $800,000. Council welcomes information on koala sightings, and members of the public are asked to register all koala encounters on Council’s Koala Register at https:// www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov. au/environment/Plantsand-Animals/Pages/Koalas. aspx to help target areas for funding.

No booze for Brian Navin Reserve By Emma DARBIN FOLLOWING the undertaking of an investigative audit by the Coffs-Clarence Police Local Area Command, Coffs Harbour City Council intends to make Brian Navin Reserve near Park Beach Plaza an Alcohol Prohibited Area (APA) to improve community safety. The reserve is located between Park Beach Plaza, Northside Lane, and San Francisco Avenue in Coffs Harbour. According to an audit undertaken by the CoffsClarence Police Local Area

Command the reserve is generally used by the local indigenous community and people from multicultural backgrounds for the purpose of consuming alcohol. “Brian Navin Park is not well maintained and has a variety of large trees and plants towards the southern end which offers opportunities for concealment for offenders,” the audit states. There are no CCTV cameras at the park, no lights, a large amount of graffiti at the site, broken glass and rubbish (including empty alcohol bottles) at different areas within the park, according to the Police audit. According to statistics

listed within the audit report, police recorded 67 anti-social behaviour incidents at the park in 2020 including 23 people being searched by police, ten told to move on from the area, nine offences against another person, seven assaults occurring at the park, seven drug detections, four malicious damage incidents, four stealing incidents, and three street offences. “As illustrated in the statistical data the predominant crime types are intoxicating liquor related and are generally occurring during daylight hours,” the audit stated. Following the audit, local Police have recommended that Brian Navin Park be

made ‘Alcohol Prohibited’. “The NSW Police has a vital interest in ensuring the safety of members of the community and their property,” the audit concluded. Under the Local Government Act 1993 Sections 632A and Part 4, Council is required to undertake public consultation before adopting a proposal to establish or reestablish all alcohol restricted zones. Alcohol restrictions are aimed at reducing alcoholrelated crime and anti-social behaviour in identified locations. Once Council has considered the community feedback and established the

www.newsofthearea.com.au

new APA, the implementation of the prohibition will be advertised in the newspaper, and signs will be installed at each pedestrian entry to the reserve. Alcohol restrictions can be enforced by Police Officers and Council Enforcement Officers who have the authority to seize and tip out or otherwise dispose of alcohol. In a case where a person does not cooperate with the Police or Ranger, they can be charged with obstruction which carries a maximum penalty of $2,200. Council is now inviting members of the public to comment on the issue until Friday 5 March.

To make a public submission about the issue or to view further documentation about the proposal to implement an Alcohol Prohibited Area at the park, including the Coffs Clarence Area Command Audit undertaken on the park visit https://haveyoursay. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/ alcohol-restricted-zones1. Written submissions can also be emailed to coffs. council@chcc.nsw.gov.au or addressed to Coffs Harbour City Council, Locked Bag 155, Coffs Harbour, NSW 2450. A final report on the matter will come before Coffs Harbour City Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 25 March, with a recommendation to implement the Alcohol Prohibited Area at the park.

NSW Youth Parliament CALLING all future Bairds, Berejiklians, Wrans and Carrs! Applications are now open for the YMCA NSW (Y NSW) Youth Parliament: the state’s premier youth political empowerment program. Aimed at young people in years 10, 11 and 12 or equivalent age, Y NSW Youth Parliament provides a platform for young people to have their voices heard through legislative debate and decision making. The Y NSW is seeking representatives from all 93 NSW State Electorates to participate. Y NSW CEO Susannah Le Bron said it was exciting to be back following the program’s suspension in 2020 due to the pandemic. “COVID-19 has brought the direct impact of political decisions on young people’s lives and futures sharply into focus,” Mrs Le Bron said. “There’s never been a

more important time for young people to stand up and be heard, and the Y is incredibly proud as an organisation to bring these voices directly to the seat of power in NSW.” Youth Parliament consists of an eight-day camp where participants are split in committees and develop policy positions ahead of a day of debate on the floor of NSW Parliament. Following the event, passed bills are formally presented to the NSW Government. Since its beginning in 2002, approximately six pieces of Y NSW Youth Parliament youth legislation have been passed into NSW Law, including the recent Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme. Former NSW Youth Parliament participant, Hamani Tanginoa, encouraged young people across the state to apply. “Youth Parliament is an

q amazing opportunity for young people to have their voices heard and get their ideas on the board. If they’re looking to do more representation in their community or to get into politics it’s a perfect first step to get their name out there,” he said.

The 2019 Y NSW Youth Parliament cohort.

“It helped me get a spot on the NSW Youth Advisory Council and support from past participants helped me secure the Youth Premier position in 2019. “Youth Parliament kept the fire burning, and since then I’ve been able to continue

speaking out on issues young people are facing on TV and in printed media.” Applications are open now and will close March 12 at 5pm. Young people will be notified of the outcome of their application on March 22 ahead

of an online introduction to the program on April 26 and finally, Residential Camp from July 3 to Saturday 10 July. For more information, or to apply, visit: https://www. ymcansw.org.au/communityservices/youth/youthparliament/

he believes it will give older community members a say in the age-friendly future of the Coffs Harbour local government area. “We need to understand that the aging process is what it is, but it changes from generation to generation and people that are my age now, in 2021, are very different to when my father was sixty,” Mr Hargreaves said. “Life has so much more to offer for people that are in my generation these days than it did back then. “It’s about exploring that, sharing that and letting other people understand what these options are.” Council intends to support the active participation of older people within the community on issues relevant to policies, programs, events, facilities and services that impact on the quality of life of older residents living in the Coffs Harbour region.

The Positive Ageing Advisory Committee membership will consist of eight community members, four community organisations, one Councillor, and one government entity.

By David TUNE SAWTELL resident Tim Searle is a dedicated cyclist who came up with an idea for socially distanced rides that has taken off throughout Australia and overseas. After issues with his knees stopped him from playing soccer and a severe crash when cycling down the range from Dorrigo hampered his riding, he set up a static bike in his man cave and discovered an online cycling simulator called Zwift, which allows riders from anywhere in the world to interact and ride on a simulated course. Tim started the Aussie Hump Day Rides (AHDR) in 2016, so named because they happen on a Wednesday evening, and had a group of around 30 people regularly joining him online for a one-hour ride. With the pandemic restrictions reaching into every part of life last year, the number of regular riders increased to over 800, and the number of rides expanded to 15 each week, with Tim leading ten to twelve of them. “The Aussie Hump Day Ride started in April 2016, with the aim of being a social ride that as many Australians as possible could ride in together for an hour or so,” Tim said. “Wednesday seemed a good day being the middle (hump) of the week.

BOOKFEST 2021 20th to 27th February

“Our first ride had 28 attendees. “Within three months we had 200 people turning up every week, and from all over the world. “Giant Bicycles came on board and we continued to grow the ride.” The software package links to a trainer on the rear wheel of the bike and simulates riding conditions including increasing resistance on hills and providing a feeling of ‘drafting’ when riding behind another cyclist. One of the features that Tim rates very highly is the ability to use a keyboard to chat with other riders, giving what is a time efficient training tool an important social aspect. Tim still rides outdoors but holds the world record for hours

TENDERS have closed on the provision of survey services for the delivery of the future $1.8B Coffs Harbour Pacific Highway bypass, with four Coffs Harbour based companies throwing their hat in the ring. Five Sydney based companies have tendered for the Transport for NSW (Roads and Maritime Projects) Coffs Harbour Bypass-Provision for Survey Services for Delivery Readiness, as well as four Coffs Harbour based companies, one company from Port Macquarie, one from the Central Coast area, and one from Victoria. The tenders are for

the provision of qualified survey personnel for survey services during early works on the Coffs Harbour Bypass. This early work consists of a combination of construction, cadastral and detail survey works in order to facilitate the early

works package and delivery readiness. The long awaited 14-kilometre bypass project will be Coffs Harbour’s biggest ever infrastructure project and will support 12,000 jobs over the life-cycle of the project,

including around 2,000 local jobs for the community of Coffs Harbour during construction. The project is expected to take around five years to complete. Once completed the bypass is expected to divert

12,000 vehicles per day out of the centre of town, and is expected to save commuters twelve minutes of travel time once the main Coffs Harbour CBD area is diverted and twelve sets of traffic lights cut out. The first sod was turned

on the Coffs Harbour Bypass project in December 2020 by Local Federal Member Pat Conaghan and State Member Gurmesh Singh alongside Deputy Premier John Barilaro and NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole.

Community concern about Council performance By Andrew VIVIAN THERE is a widely-held belief that local councils should concern themselves with giving residents value for their rates, keep roads in good repair and collect the rubbish. When residents are happy with their council rates, and roads and rubbish are under control, other issues do not attract the same level of controversy as they might

when the ‘core business’ of the council is perceived, by some, to be found wanting. Social media, as we all should know, does not always provide a reliable, valid source of information. However, a perusal of almost any Facebook page related to Coffs Harbour reveals a growing number of posts and comments which indicate that a number of people are less than happy with the Coffs Harbour City Council. When approached by News Of The Area, a Council

www.newsofthearea.com.au are approved) have not yet been spent to provide extra infrastructure. According to the Council spokesperson the surveys indicated that, “’Maintenance of sealed roads’, ‘maintenance of unsealed roads’, ‘footpaths and cycleways’, ‘maintenance of public toilets’ and ‘sewerage’ all demonstrated higher satisfaction scores when measured against regional benchmark norms.” The Customer Satisfaction Survey showed that 51% of respondents were ‘Satisfied’ or better with the Council. Whether, or not, the level of satisfaction with Council performance has changed, getting on top of the mowing and slashing should make a lot of people happier.

spokesperson referred to two surveys conducted last year, in which 82% of the 504 residents surveyed were ‘Somewhat satisfied’ or better with the Council’s performance’. The two highest priorities identified by residents in the ‘Customer Satisfaction Survey’ were maintaining/ improving roads and general town maintenance, which are the issues of concern on social media six months after the most recent survey. Apart from the Cultural and Civic Space, the main issue on social media is the general appearance of Coffs Harbour and surrounds, with lack of

mowing a particular issue. The Council, on its Facebook page, offered an explanation. It wrote that it was responsible for mowing 12km of roadside and 10 hectares of parks and reserves every day. Additionally, Council cuts over 314 km of roadsides and other areas were cut in every six-week period and every four weeks 197ha of reserves and parklands were mown. The Council plans for increased growth rates in spring and summer, but says that, this year, efforts have been hampered by a widespread invasion of giant paspalum which is difficult to

mow, and many working days have been lost because of high rainfall and flooding. Council states that it is two weeks behind in its mowing schedule. That post, alone, attracted more than 100 comments that overwhelmingly did not share Council’s perspective. Other issues raised on Facebook pages include the fees for tip and rubbish pick up fees (leading to increased dumping of rubbish), the cost of transporting waste out of Coffs Harbour, lack of transparency around the airport lease and claims that developers’ contributions (made when applications

More than 60% of NSW SMEs have said that local community support, social media marketing and social media sales are key to their 2021 business success. Local business owners, Fiona and Simon McCredie, are among the 82% of optimistic owners. They operate Carpet

Court and National Tiles in Coffs Harbour, and after worrying about how to get through lockdown, say that overall

business has been better than the previous year. Fiona suggested that an increase in people renovating because they can’t do anything else with their money has been a contributing factor. “It’s been very helpful that there has been plenty of commercial work, such as the ambulance station at Toormina.” Simon said that the construction sector on the Coffs Coast has been very strong. “The major home builders that we deal with have a lot of work in front of them,” he said. At the moment, Fiona and Simon continue with their current business strategies because of the strong community support. For SMEs in other sectors and geographical areas, the Mastercard survey indicates that a ‘silver lining’ of the pandemic has been the surge in innovation and openness to innovate amongst SMEs, with 70% of businesses feeling more comfortable than ever in diversifying or launching new products or services in the future. According to Richard Wormald, Division President, Australasia, Mastercard, “Australian SMEs continue to show incredible resilience and agility in spite of COVID-19, and the Aussie ingenuity the nation is so famous for has played an essential role in getting businesses back on their feet. “Innovation really is the bright spot amid the pandemic so that continuing industry support for these businesses with digital solutions and resources will be essential for the future,” he said Decision makers in the SMEs surveyed indicated that the key to their business success in 2021 could come from social media marketing (65%), making their website easier for customers to use (61%), online sales (55%) and improving customer payment methods online (54%). On the Coffs Coast, many small businesses are following these trends and new businesses are starting up to support them.

Small And Medium Sized Businesses Optimistic About Future By Andrew VIVIAN

IT is obvious that many small and medium sized businesses in New South Wales have been doing it tough for some time now. However, Mastercard has conducted research that shows that optimism across Australia for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) has doubled from 2020 to 2021 as businesses continue to

FOSSIL Founder Rob Trezise steps down By David TUNE

FRIENDS of South Solitary Island Lighthouse (FOSSIL) founder Rob Trezise has handed over the reins of the group to newly elected president Chris Bramley after over ten years in the chair. Rob was the last lighthouse keeper on South Solitary Island and started FOSSIL with a view to helping maintain the buildings on the island, and to assist the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in preserving the site. The original idea came from a highly successful similar project that Rob was aware of in Tasmania known

as Friends of Tasman Island. The group has organised regular visits to the island to assist with maintenance work, and it has been estimated that their contribution saves the NPWS around $50,000 a year. COVID restrictions have put a stop to these visits and tourism to the island temporarily, but it is anticipated that these activities may resume this year. Precision Helicopters, based at Coffs Harbour Airport, have operated tourist trips to the island on two weekends a year since 2007, and hope to resume them sometime between

April and October this year. FOSSIL has established strong links with NPWS, Coffs Harbour City Council, the Museum, and the Yacht club over the years, and continues to seek links to the wider community. Newly elected president of the group, Chris Bramley said, “We are working to broaden the focus of what we do to expand from focusing on just the lighthouse and buildings in such a way that it becomes more relevant to the local community.” Rob will continue as a member of the committee but plans to let others take on a lot of the work that he has done in the past.

Cowper To Be Hit Hard When COVID Allowances End By Andrew VIVIAN

MANY people are concerned that ending the Jobkeeper allowance and winding back Jobseeker will exacerbate what already appears to be a homelessness crisis The Federal Opposition Leader, Anthony Albanese, has said, “When JobKeeper ends

Friday, 19 February, 2021

in March and JobSeeker goes back to $40 a day, there will be a lot of people struggling to pay the rent and the mortgage.” “This means there is a real risk the number of homeless Aussies will rise further”, he said. A recent report by the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) examined the correlation between homelessness and the end of JobKeeper.

The report stated, ‘on the basis of unemployment rising to 10%, it was recently projected that homelessness in NSW could rise as a result by 21%’. News Of The Area has already reported on housing and homelessness issues in Coffs Harbour, and a recent Guardian report shows that the federal electorate of Cowper would lose an estimated $2.6m a fortnight

The report says that almost 18,000 people between Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour receive a supplement. Anglicare’s ‘Rental Affordability Snapshot’, from last August, found that “a person who is out of work can afford just 1 percent of rentals – and that’s with their payments doubled”. It also stated, “If the Government goes ahead with its plan to cut rates by

www.newsofthearea.com.au

$150 a week in September, affordability will plummet to 0.2 percent”. “If payments are halved in December, a person out of work will find that ~0 percent of rentals (13 listings out of 77,000) are affordable.” A spokesperson for the Federal Member for Cowper, Mr Pat Conaghan, told News Of The Area that Mr Conaghan will continue to push for a meaningful discussion regarding increasing the minimum Newstart unemployment benefit to

a 20-25 percent increase because it would provide a substantial boost to recipients and provide an injection into the Cowper economy. Mr Conaghan wants to be able to provide an adequate safety net for those who are actively looking for work whilst at the same time not creating a reliance on government welfare. The spokesperson also said that Mr Conaghan’s view is that an increase in Newstart would have a positive impact on the Cowper electorate.

Calls for Further Action on Myanmar By Sandra MOON

LOCAL resident and Myanmar Mindat Chin community member Angelo Maung is one of many community members to call for the Australian government to follow the leadership of New Zealand and the United States and cease military funding and support to Burma. “One hundred percent I support western countries, such as the US and New Zealand, and the severe sanctions that have been applied against the military dictators by the governments around the world to cut ties with the military dictatorship in Myanmar,” he told News Of The Area. The communities and supporters staged a protest last week and encouraged attendees to join them in writing to their local members and the Minister for Forign Affairs and Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs. At the protest Mr Maung told the crowd that the communities need to stand united together and be strong. “Even though we live in this free country our worries and our concerns

are resurfacing. “It is like as if we have been having a recent phase of what we have been through before and the trauma we had is resurfacing,” he said. The military dictatorship has been cutting off the internet intermittently but some community members have been able to get through on lines from India and other neighbouring countries. Mr Maung spoke recently to his family in Myanmar. “They were very sad that we all were expecting developments and improvements in our country and we only had democracy from only 2015 to 2020 and we were so hopeful but it is like we have become hopeless at the moment. “We are so lucky in Australia and we are very fortunate.“ Local community leaders still need your support by writing to the Minister for Defense Marise Payne and urging Pat Conaghan to represent this issue in parliament. Mr Maung said, “Readers can support us by condemning the military involvement from China and condemn Russia for providing military equipment to my country Myanmar.”

Greater educational opportunities for regional students

THE NSW Government has announced the creation of a Regional, Rural and Remote Policy Unit to improve the educational outcomes of regional students. NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the new unit will be devoted to raising regional, rural and remote students’ educational outcomes, and will form part of the implementation of the State Government's ambitious reform agenda in regional, rural and remote schools. “I want every student to enjoy the same educational opportunities no matter where they live,” Ms Mitchell said. “Kids in the regions need a team that can drive reforms and implement programs to eliminate the equity gap that exists between the bush and the city. “The regions need doctors, artists, scientists, teachers, businesspeople

and skilled workers, all career paths we can provide for our students in regional NSW.” The new Regional, Rural and Remote Policy Unit will be implemented alongside the State Government’s new Rural and Remote Education Strategy, which will support the Economic Vision for Regional NSW. The strategy focuses on attracting more highquality teachers to the bush, support for their professional development, improved digital access, and wellbeing support for rural and remote public schools. From increased infrastructure spending, digital intervention, nurturing gifted and talented students, VET integration in senior years and tailored school support through the School Success Model, the regional strategy will target government support where it is most needed.

Dan Murphy’s goes solar THE Coffs Harbour Dan Murphy's store is no longer just green by its trademark signature colour - it has now been fitted out with solar panels to reduce the store’s environmental footprint and cut energy costs. “We are making our stores more sustainable, and energy

use is a big part of our efforts. “Approximately 15 percent of our stores across the country are now switched to solar,” said Dan Murphy’s National Renewal Operations Manager Tyson Holbery. The roof of the Coffs Harbour store has been powered with a solar system

with 138 panels, which will not only reduce energy use but cut energy costs. “The system is estimated to generate enough solar energy to offset more than 20 percent of the store’s annual power consumption and save approximately 58 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually,”

q Dan Murphy’s Coffs Harbour store manager Scott Murrel. Holbery explained. So far the solar powered Dan Murphy’s stores across the country have generated more than 3,350 MWh electricity which is the equivalent of the average electricity use of almost 600 households, with more stores being rolled out.

Call for Disability Inclusion and Access Committee members COFFS Harbour City Council’s Disability Inclusion and Access Advisory Committee is calling for new members. Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017 – 2021 (DIAP) plays a vital role in ensuring access and inclusion are fundamental considerations in the creation of liveable communities, supports access to meaningful employment, provides information and services, and promotes positive community attitudes and behaviour. Some examples of

Council outcomes achieved under the Plan across built environments, systems and processes, and employment include partnering with Sport NSW to provide opportunities for inclusive sport including an annual Inclusion Sports Day held at Sportz Central, improvements to Council’s website to increase accessibility with the inclusion of ‘Readspeak’ technology, and all abilities playgrounds at Pearce Drive and West Coffs Regional Playground, designed on the NSW Government ‘Everyone Can Play’ Guidelines. The Disability Inclusion

and Access Advisory Committee will work collaboratively with Council in the development and implementation of strategies which aim to ensure that the local government area is an accessible community for all people, now and into the future.

people might forget, when reminded, they comply readily. However, one Coffs Harbour small business owner is extremely upset by a customer who not only refused to check in, but has followed up with threats of legal action when notified that entry will be refused to those who will not check in. The customer has sent two lengthy letters, written in a style intended to convey some legal

significance. However, the letters are from the customer only, and do not appear to be from a registered legal practitioner. The first letter claimed that the ‘Privacy Act 1988 section 94H’ prohibits a person from requiring another to download the COVID-safe app to their phone, even though the internet, as we know it, did not exist then, let alone smartphones and apps. The letter quoted

COVID-Safe complaint By Andrew VIVIAN

LIKE it or not, it is a requirement of the COVID-19 Public Health Order, issued by the NSW Department of Health, that, when you enter premises that are required to have a COVID-safe plan, ‘If you choose not to provide your details, you’ll be refused entry’. Almost everyone understands the importance of this, and, while some

The letter would appear to indicate that the letter writer is an ‘anti-masker’. The first letter ended with threats of demanding money, from an amount of $1000/hour for the letter writer’s ‘administration’ up to $1,000,000, for other

people to be involved in any action. The business owner was very upset by this letter, despite knowing that the business was simply upholding the law. A second letter, eight days later, compounded the owner’s distress. That letter made the same reference to a number of laws and asserted that these, somehow, prevent a business from requiring

customers to check in. The letter also made the same threats about money and that action would be taken soon. The owner’s solicitor has written to the customer to state that any action will be vigorously contested. Virtually all small business owners are doing the right thing and we all need to keep them and each other safe and cheerful in these difficult times.

Local Health District welcomes 10 Aboriginal Student Trainees THE Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) has welcomed 10 new students in the latest intake of its Aboriginal School Based Traineeship Program. The Program, named in honour of prominent Aboriginal activist Elsa Dixon, is part of the District’s commitment to delivering training for Aboriginal students. The Elsa Dixon Program aims to promote workforce diversity and innovation and better health outcomes for patients.

level courses. On completion of their traineeships, the students will have achieved nationally recognised qualifications in

their chosen fields, which contributes to their Higher School Certificate. They will also have the opportunity to apply for

positions within the Mid North Coast Local Health District. The program works in close collaboration with local secondary schools, the

first Friday in March, and each year a different Coffs Harbour church volunteers to organise and run the event locally. This year the WDP service is being run by the Seventh Day Adventist Church on Friday March 5 from 10:30am, the church is located at 1 Valley St. Coffs Harbour. WDP selects a theme and a country to support each year, with a focus on improving the lives of women in that country.

This year’s theme is ‘Build on a Strong Foundation’, and Vanuatu has been chosen as the country that will benefit from the funds raised throughout the world. The aim is to provide understanding, care, healing and hope to some 60,000 women in the country who have been affected by genderbased violence, and this will be delivered through a Trauma Healing program funded via the WDP.

Church representative Sharonne Briggs told News Of The Area, “All funds that are raised go to providing support to the WDP mission, in this case assisting women in Vanuatu to find selfesteem and assist them to overcome violence and malnutrition in children, the organising church puts on the Day of Prayer as a voluntary activity.” The artwork for the poster was created

by Juliette Pita, an extremely well known and renowned Vanuatu artist, and is entitled “Cyclone Pam II: 13th of March 2015” and depicts the protection that the palm trees gave to some during the devastating cyclone.

Lachlan Skinner Recognised By Sandra MOON

PROUD Gumbaynggirr man Lachlan Skinner has been nominated in the TransGrid Indigenous Achievement Award, which forms part of the 2021 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards NSW/ACT. The Awards aim to encourage, acknowledge and reward the valuable contributions young people are making throughout NSW and the ACT. Lockie has made it through the first round of judging; his nomination has been held in very high regard by the judges.

He has been invited to attend the prestigious awards at a Gala Presentation Dinner to celebrate and honour his achievements. The Gala Dinner will be held on Friday 30 April 2021, at Doltone House – Darling Island. Mr Skinner spoke with News Of The Area and said, “I had no idea at first that I had been nominated and I still don’t know who nominated me.” Lachlan suspects it is his work in the Local Aboriginal Land Council, establishing OneMob Radio and years of volunteering on community

committees that has led to his nomination. “I'm a proud Gumbaynggirr man from Coffs Harbour,” he said. “I am the Operations Manager of the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council.” Mr Skinner has been actively involved in planning events for the Aboriginal community since he was 16 years old. He has also been volunteering in Coffs Harbour from the age of twelve in activities such as NAIDOC Week event planning and the Saltwater Freshwater

Festival. "It's nice being nominated for an award. “Although we don't do what we do to be recognised but when we are it is a nice feeling." "I just want to thank all those people that love and support the work that I do every single day, it means the world to me," he said. Judging takes place on February 24 and category winners will each receive two thousand dollars worth of prizes and a trophy. Lockie is up for the overall winner of the 2021 NSW/ACT Young Achiever of the Year.

Iconic surf club reduced to rubble AFTER more than 70 years of existence as an iconic beachside building, the former Woolgoolga Surf Life Saving Club was physically demolished on Friday 12 February. Coffs Harbour Demolitions undertook the demolition of the former surf lifesaving club, which included the removal of asbestos, over a two-week period with initial demolition works commencing on February 1. The building was to be demolished in November 2020, but was pushed back due to community concern over the demolition of the historic building. The former club had

become severely dilapidated over the years and contained asbestos. The longstanding surf club was replaced by the new

and improved $3.9 million Woolgoolga Surf Life Saving Club in September 2020, which is located just south of the former club.

A MAN has died at a Woolgoolga bus stop around noon on Friday 12 February as a result of a medical incident. The medical incident, believed to be a cardiac arrest, occurred at the bus stop located alongside Woolgoolga Woolworths on Solitary Islands Way. A young woman was observed rendering assistance to the man and giving him CPR inside the bus stop at around

noon on Friday. A local NSW Ambulance crew quickly attended the scene to provide professional medical assistance followed by several police cars from the Coffs-Clarence Local Police Area Command, and one member from the Corindi SES unit and one member from the Coffs Harbour SES unit also attended the scene. Police later covered the body of the deceased with

a white sheet, taped off the surrounding area around the bus stop with police tape and tarped off the front of the bus stop to the public. When contacted by News Of The Area about the incident a police constable from Coffs-Clarence Local Police Area Command declined to comment on the death but stated “it appears to be a medical issue”.

Water compliance body in Coffs this month THE Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) will return to Coffs Harbour this month to check water compliance levels in the region. NRAR Director of Water Regulation (East) Graeme White expects to find higher levels of compliance in the area, after running an extensive campaign in 201920. “When we visited properties in Coffs Harbour between 2019 and 2020, we found alarmingly high levels of noncompliance (88 per cent),” Mr White said. “Coffs Harbour is a priority area and we have worked hard to provide information and guidance to make it easier

In addition to checking compliance, field officers will also help water users understand the laws around dams, basic landholder right bores, pumps and pumping

logbooks. “We’ve run an intensive campaign geared towards increasing awareness and understanding of the rules and expect compliance rates to be much higher in Coffs this year,” Mr White said. “NRAR arranged meetings with industry and community groups, attended a local field day, provided educational materials to landholders, supplied information to industry publications and followed up landholders after inspections by phone and email. “If we find landholders breaking the rules, we won’t shy away from enforcing the law.” Mr White said he hopes NRAR’s continued presence in Coffs Harbour will reinforce how important it is for water

Future $23.1m Woolgoolga sporting complex named

WOOLGOOLGA’S highly anticipated new $23.1m multipurpose sporting facility will be officially named Wiigulga Sports Complex, in honour of the local area’s Gumbaynggirr heritage and culture. Wiigulga, pronounced Wee-gill-gah, is the original name for Woolgoolga, and refers to the black apple tree which is found locally and on the sports complex site. The new name for the complex was unanimously approved by Coffs Harbour City councillors at Council’s recent ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 February. Coffs Harbour City Mayor Cr Denise Knight said honouring the Gumbaynggirr heritage and culture of the region had been a key consideration in all of the decorative design work on the future complex. “This land was extensively used by the Gumbaynggirr people and in particular the Garby clan group,” Cr Knight said. “It is now being developed into a world-class community facility that is going to be totally inclusive for the local community and

all who use it, so finding the right name was very important. “Confirming the name of the site at the start of the construction phase of the project will ensure the new name is proudly displayed throughout construction and on all permanent signage into the future.” Extensive consultation on the name was undertaken with a number of key indigenous stakeholders including Council’s Yandaarra Aboriginal Advisory Committee, the Garby Clan Group Coffs Harbour District Local Aboriginal Land Council, the Garlambirla Guuyu Girrwaa Elders Corporation, and Aboriginal community members who have a connection to the site, which was historically an important teaching trail for the community. All the stakeholders consulted recommended and endorsed the name Wiigulga Sports Complex. Designs by Gumbaynggirr artist Tulli Stevens from Mullaway have been chosen as the main design theme for the

complex. Tulli won the commission with her work ‘Gawbarri’ which means ‘meet, get together, gather’ after Coffs Harbour City Council and the National Aboriginal Design Agency (NADA) collaborated on an Aboriginal design. An application will be submitted as soon as possible to the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales to have the site named Wiigulga Sports Complex. The site, which is located

on Solitary Islands Way opposite the Centenary Drive entrance to Woolgoolga High School, will feature playing fields to cater for AFL, cricket, with tournament overlay for touch football as well as multi-use fields, including lighting, amenities and cricket practice nets. The Northern Beaches Multi-Purpose Centre on the site will include two indoor courts (basketball and netball), a stage, kitchen, multi-purpose rooms, a café

q Woolgoolga’s future sporting facility which will feature Aboriginal design artwork both inside and outside the building has been officially named Wiigulga Sports Complex. Photo: Populous.

and amenities. Civil works to be undertaken on the site include roadways, shared pathways, car parks and essential services. Work on the construction of the Wiigulga Sports Complex is expected to begin next month and be completed by late 2022. The project vision is for Wiigulga Sports Complex to deliver an inclusive, vibrant and healthy community space for locals and visitors

to gather, play, compete, practice, learn, perform and celebrate. The Wiigulga Sports Complex project was made possible through joint funding from the Australian Government, State Government and Coffs Harbour City Council. Stimulating the local economy through the construction phase and into the future is a key priority of all funding partners.

Trilogy’s final book launched By Sandra MOON

LOCAL author Miriam Verbeek has self-published the third book in her trilogy Songs of Si’Empra and it is getting great reviews. The series comprises three books - Skyseeker’s Princess, Cryptal’s Champion and Si’Empra’s Queen. Ms Verbeek told News Of The Area the genre is literary (low magic) fantasy with an audience focus on women over eighteen. “It does cross genres, having been heralded as women’s fiction, coming of age, action and adventure, alternative history and low magic.” Ms Verbeek said the latest book has received a Book Excellence Award and five star ratings by Goodreads and Amazon readers. Miriam has used her extensive background in academia and managerial consulting to craft a story that’s entertaining, full of adventure, insightful and satisfyingly profound. She has written in some form all throughout her life.

of both fiction and nonfiction,” she said. “I especially like reading books that connect me to the characters whether that’s the

author or the fictional ones,” said Miriam. “In the Songs of Si’Empra, the people are those you might meet, with all their loves and hates, ambitions and failings. “I’m not into black and white nor grey. “I don’t believe in evil but I do believe that we are all capable of doing bad things,” she added. The first book in the series, Skyseeker’s Princess, tells the story of how a highborn young woman escapes the abuse of her brother. She looks for a quieter life but, instead, is drawn increasingly into a better understanding of the societies and environment of the Antarctic island of Si’Empra. Impetuous, and with a strong sense of justice, she triggers a set of circumstances that drag her, in the second book of the series, Cryptal’s Champion, into an ever closer confrontation with the very people she escaped from. In Si’Empra’s Queen she is in charge. The Songs of Si’Empra trilogy is available from your favourite e-book store, your local library and bookstores.

Local Art Flourishing In Coffs Harbour By Andrew VIVIAN

TUCKED around the corner in Park Lane, Coffs Harbour, is more evidence that the Coffs Coast is rich in creativity. The Alykat Gallery is holding its second exhibition, ‘Local Faces’, to showcase the work of Coffs Coast portrait artists. Last year, Alyson Pearson volunteered at Planet Art, in Park Lane, beside The Happy Frog, in Coffs Harbour. When the gallery did not open again, after the COVID-19 lockdowns, she moved into the premises to open the Alykat

Gallery in October. Alyson held her first exhibition with the theme of Australian Christmas, in December. She was very pleasantly surprised at the reception from the public, particularly as she had not held a ‘grand opening’. Her current exhibition is a diverse collection of portraits from artists from the midnorth coast of New South Wales. Alyson timed the exhibition to align with the Archibald exhibition at the Coffs Harbour Regional

q Alyson Pearson at Alykat showcases local artists. Photo: Andrew Vivian.

Gallery and the Culture Hub. She initially approached artists whose work she felt matched the ‘aesthetics’ of her gallery but she was approached by a number of local portrait artists and added an extra ten. Alyson eventually had to cap the numbers because of space constraints. In between exhibitions Alyson exhibits her own work and is very happy with her sales. She also frames prints with recycled hardwood and is hoping to find a local supplier.

She said that visitors seem to appreciate the diversity of art works. “There are many talented artists around the Coffs Harbour area,” she said. The reaction to the gallery has been much more than Alyson expected and allows her to put more time into teaching at TAFE and enhancing her website. Alyson said, “Word is spreading and artists seem to be literally coming out of the woodwork.” She said the very successful ‘Local Faces’ opening night and overall sales indicate a very positive interest in good art in Coffs Harbour.

Coffs Harbour Music Society announces post pandemic programme

By David TUNE

THE Coffs Harbour Music Society has announced their concert programme for 2021. Society President Liz Jamison OAM said, “It has been just amazing to be able to organise our four stunning concerts for this year, and we couldn’t have done it without our wonderful volunteers and ongoing support from our supporters and donors.” The season will commence on Monday March 15 with the Streeton Trio at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus with appropriate Covid restrictions in place for the event.

Described by Musica Viva as ‘Australia’s most internationally successful piano trio’ and named after the Australian Impressionist artist, Arthur Streeton, the trio has received great acclaim for performances all round the world. Founded in Switzerland in 2008, The Streeton Trio won the 2011 Musica Viva Chamber Music Competition and are no strangers to Coffs Harbour audiences. They will be performing Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio no. 1 in D minor op 19 and Smetlana’s Piano Trio in G Minor, op 15. Following on from The Streeton Trio the Music Society will present singer

and songwriter Lior Attar and the Tin Alley String Quartet with music from Ravel, Lior, Dvorák, Barber, and Australian composers Ade Vincent and Nigel Westlake, the performance will include the world premiere of Lior and Vincent’s work ‘Hours I Have Never Known’. This performance will be on Thursday, 2 September from 7:30 to 9:30. The concert series reaches a fitting climax later that month on 20 September, with Australia’s preeminent string quartet, the Goldner String Quartet with Piers Lane, presenting Dvorák’s String Quartet, Op 96 in F major and

Elgar’s Piano Quintet Op 84 in A major. There will be one more concert in early November featuring the ever-popular cellist Umberto Clerici joined by pianist Daniel de Bora for a programme featuring two of Mendelssohn’s finest pieces. The venue for all concerts will be Lecture Theatre D, the Coffs Harbour Education Campus and will commence at the earlier time of 7.30 pm. Tickets are available by calling Alison Herd on 0409200922 or from EventBrite via the Societies Web Site https://coffsmusicsociety. com.au/

Driver safety at the Show ROAD users young and old are being encouraged to drop into the road safety marquee at the 2021 Coffs Harbour Show from 30 April to 2 May to ensure rural and regional drivers and riders get home safely to their families. Show President Christopher Pearson said while country residents make up only one-third of the NSW population, two-thirds of all fatalities occur on country roads. “Motorists from our regions often feel they’re safer on their own roads than visitors but more than 70 percent of fatal crashes on country roads involve country

residents,” Christopher said. He also added as an avid motorcycle rider this display will incorporate a special section catering for motorcycle riders and possibly a display of motorcycles. “That’s why Transport for NSW is partnering with NSW Police and Council at the Coffs Harbour 2021 Show, to ensure we’re aware of the risks on the road at all times and avoid them, even on familiar roads.” Vice President Margaret Crawley said information about safer driving will be available along with a number of giveaways like pens, coffee

cups etc. and visitors will be able to see crashed cars and videos of other NSW residents discussing the effects they’ve experienced from road crashes. “NSW Police are often among the first on the scene for crashes on country roads and can answer questions about how they’re best avoided,” Margaret said. “Your decision to drive too fast, drive while tired or to have one more drink can result in serious consequences for yourself and others. “We all have a role to play in making sure our communities stay safe on our

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Avoid Superfund delays JACK and Jill own most of their assets jointly, with a view to making their estate easy to deal with when the first of them passes-away. Their joint bank account can be transferred into the name of the survivor by attending the local branch with their identification and a certified copy of their spouse’s death certificate. Their jointly owned IAG shares can be dealt with easily with the assistance of a local broker. The jointly owned family home can also be registered in the survivor’s name relatively quickly and without the need to obtain a grant of probate. Jack and Jill each have a substantial amount of superannuation in their respective retail funds and they execute binding death benefit nominations. Many years later, Jack passes away. Jill easily deals with the bank account and the shares and her solicitor registers the family home into her name without any problems. Unfortunately, dealing with Jack’s superannuation becomes difficult. Jill contacts the fund and they send her a lengthy form detailing numerous requirements, which she does not understand. Jill completes the superannuation forms as best she can and returns them, but the fund requires more information. Eventually, Jill is advised by the fund that because Jack’s binding death benefit nomination expired, three years after it was made, the fund will need their three adult children to also complete the forms and provide multiple forms of identification before the fund will even consider releasing Jack’s superannuation to Jill. The process takes many months and when Jill seeks updates from the fund, she finds herself waiting on the phone for around half an hour. If Jack had an up-to-date binding death benefit nomination in place when he passed, these unacceptable delays in having the funds released to his widow-in-need, would be minimized. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

DEAR Jasminda,

A friend always gives me her hand-medowns, saying, ‘This was too good to throw out, but I don’t want it anymore.’ Now I am storing clothes, old furniture, linen and half sets of dinnerware that I don’t want either. Mrs Rachael H. Dear Rachael,

Time for Coffs pool upgrade DEAR News Of The Area, THE good report by Emma Darbin on the swim team being locked out of the War Memorial Olympic Pool in last week's paper (NOTA, February 12 Edition) highlights an issue about the adequacy of the pool generally. The city is growing, but the pool complex is not keeping up with this. Development of more pools and diving facilities

I AM astounded and appalled at last week’s news that our local swimming athletes, with their coach, are not permitted to use our Olympic Pool for training. I have a daughter who, as a teen, was a State swimming competitor. She would have been unable to train properly without the correct resources.

For example, Wauchope recently hosted the state diving championships because it has a top grade diving facility as part of it's pool complex. Coffs is ideally positioned in location and climate to capitalise on a world class swim centre. This would contribute to the health and well being of the community and provide economic stimulus for businesses.

would make a huge difference to access for groups and individuals. The heated indoor pool is wonderful but now barely adequate for the various needs of people who wish to use it. Looking at the pool developments other councils around the state undertake to meet the growing needs of their communities it's apparent Coffs could have a much better facility than the present one.

Yours Sincerely, Lorraine OSBORN, Coffs Harbour.

luxury workspaces, it is a return back to loneliness, danger and sleeping in red bins, drains and under bridges for the homeless. And I want to know why can the Gold Coast City Council afford its 500,000 citizens a bulky goods collection service while the Coffs Council can't afford its 80,000 citizens one.

OKAY, let’s break this down. What your friend is really saying is, ‘This item takes too much effort to get rid of, and you have “kind and naive friend” written on your forehead, so I’m making it your problem.’ She’s probably already tried Buy, Swap and Sell and, after haggling with locals who want to barter over a pair of once-used soccer boots, she’s emotionally exhausted. You’ve become a very handy ‘Open All Hours’ Op Shop while at the same time allowing your friend to feel she’s scoring points to be used at a later date. She gets all the virtue and you get seven splades, three chipped plates, a quilt cover with a dubious stain and a wonky coffee table that you’ll end up putting out in your next council cleanup. I guess the problem here is that you’ve accepted these unwanted goods on the first occasion and you’ve set a precedent. It is a bit like being the unwilling recipient of emotional garbage that then builds up in your subconscious while the offender has had the equivalent of a brain detox and feels refreshed. I would suggest that next time your friend turns up with a car full of seconds, stop her before she starts unloading and say, ‘Look, it is very kind of you, but I really have no room to put a one-eyed rocking horse, a rusted wind chime and a Ken Done print covered in mould. I’m actually decluttering as well. If you have time for a cup of tea, I could show you what’s on offer.’ Then, simply present her with all her rejected items from the last few years.

Times gone by go

Lighting up the Coast: A Solitary Soirée (Part 2) By Karen FILEWOOD IN 1873 an Intercolonial Marine Conference was held in Sydney which resolved to recommend the erection

of a lighthouse on the Solitaries, along with 22 other Australia-wide sites with ‘all reasonable expedition’. In March the following year the lighthouse once again appeared in the government estimates, along with its £4000 funding. Significantly, three months later a NSW Parliament Act was gazetted to ‘raise a Loan for Public Works and other purposes’, enabling them to sell debentures or funded Stock in the colony. Appearing among the lists of government works to be undertaken was ‘Light-house Solitary Island’ with its budget. On the 5 October 1874 the NSW Marine Board, accompanied by government officials, including Colonial Architect James Barnet, chartered the s.s. Ballina

Honk for Habitat DEAR News Of The Area,

NO trees = no koala! It’s a simple equation. A report by the University of Newcastle finds that by protecting the native forests of the Mid North Coast, the koala stands a chance of survival here. Building the Great Koala National Park to help restore our tourism economy, create needed jobs and save our koala at the same time is becoming a reality, slowly. However, logging in prime koala habitat is due to start at any time just behind Valla in Newry State Forest, a sanctuary for wildlife since the recent fires wreaked havoc and destroyed 70% of the koala population. As 85% of our timber resources already come from true plantations let's make it 100% and transition from logging native

forest habitats. Protecting the iconic koala means we also provide reserves of native forests for all of his friends. If you wantl to support us in this passion for keeping what wilderness is left on the Coffs Coast, we gather together in fine weather on Fridays 8am-9am at Hyland Park Rd/Mann St corner and fine weather Wednesdays 8am-9am on the corner of Wirrimbi Rd/Rodeo Drive. Bring a sign or we have plenty to share around as we raise awareness by getting passers by to "Honk for Habitat". Join us at the Forest Ecology Alliance FB page for updates. Regards, Diane CARTER, Forest Ecology Alliance.

News Of The Area

to undertake a tour of inspection of public works along the coastline, their destination being Grafton. Landing on South Solitary Island on 10 October 1874, they inspected and surveyed the island, building a stone cairn at the best site for the lighthouse, before repeating the exercise on North Solitary Island. This resolved the debate on the lighthouse’s location, with the group settling on South Solitary Island as being the most suitable site. Before the visitors’ departure from Grafton, local dignitaries held a complimentary banquet for the group, hosted by the mayor and held in the School of Arts hall. Fully catered for and complete with a

band, around 50 guests paid one guinea each (21 shillings, currently worth approx. $160). This was costly for the times which effectively operated to exclude the local ‘riff-raff’ and women were usually excluded from these types of functions. Ritualistic toasts, followed by cheers and speeches in response were a highlight, from king and country, down the line of status to those present, taking several hours to conclude. Despite likely hangovers from their late-night festivities, the travellers left Grafton at 4am on the 13 October on their return voyage south. Unsurprisingly, tours of inspection were to become an annual event. To be continued …

Coffs Comets player makes Roosters junior squad SPORT By Aiden BURGESS XANTI Hand has taken a big step towards making Australia’s elite women’s rugby league competition. The former Coffs Harbour Comet’s player has earnt a place in the Sydney Roosters women’s under 19 Indigenous Academy squad. The 17-year-old has spent the past month taking part in trial matches for the Roosters as she successfully trialled for the clubs under 19’s team. Hand is part of the Roosters squad who compete in this year's Tarsha Gale Cup – a nine round competition played predominantly in Sydney. The young NRLW prospect is currently completing her Year 12 in Sydney after studying at Nambucca Heads in recent years. It’s easy to see why Hand was on the Roosters radar. The outside back has had a decorated start to her rugby league career as a multiple premiership winning player in Group 2 Rugby League competitions. The Roosters recruit started her junior career at the Sawtell Panthers where she was part of the under 12’s premiership winning team. She then played girls league tag for the Panthers before the family moved to Nambucca Heads. Playing for the Nambucca Heads Roosters saw her captain the under 16’s girls league tag team to a premiership win in 2018. The try scoring speedster would continue her winning ways in 2019 as part of the Coffs Harbour Comets women’s league tag premiership winning team. The premiership success continued at the 2019 Koori Knockout, where she was part of the winning La Perouse under 16’s girls team and first got the attention of the Roosters. Now for the next few months she takes on some of the best junior female players in the country. But living away from home in a big city meant doubts started creeping into the talented juniors mind, according to her father Jimi. “It almost didn’t happen, as she was

thinking of quitting due to loneliness and she said to me she wanted to do the Roosters thing but I don’t want to be alone,” he said. “Her sisters went down to see her and reassured her that it would be alright.” The proud father told News Of The Area it was a big move for his daughter to relocate to Sydney to pursue her rugby league dream. “She’s sacrificed a lot, as she misses the North Coast lifestyle, her family and friends and boyfriend and also playing for the Comets,” he said. The Roosters opened their season with a 42-0 Round 1 win against the Canterbury Bulldogs, before a 10-4 loss to the Illawarra Steelers in Round 2.

WIN, 7.30pm

Life on the glorious Caribbean island of Saint Marie should be a breeze. There’s a rainforest, plenty of gorgeous fishing spots and beaches as far as the eye can see. Mind you, the crime rate is cause for concern – there seems to be a suspicious death almost every week to keep DI Jack Mooney (Ardal O’Hanlon, pictured) and the team busy. This week, in “Tour de Murder”, it’s a cycling crash that is troubling the widowed detective – some loose threads (literally, a scrap of lycra) found near the body of Tour des Antilles favourite Xavier Prince lead Jack to suspect his death was no accident – but who wanted him dead? It’s the perfect Saturday night whodunit.

Some quiz shows demand broad general knowledge, others skills in maths or riddles, and some, well... they don’t really require much more than the nerve to put yourself on national television to gamble with the equal chance of making a fool of yourself or laughing all the way to the bank. The Cube is in the latter category, where contestants try to complete a seemingly easy task inside a Perspex cube for the viewing pleasure of the nail-biting audience. And it is precisely the added difficulty to otherwise simple tasks that makes this show – with a handsome prize pool – so infuriating and so captivating. Host Andy Lee (pictured above right) is along for the laughs.

DEATH IN PARADISE

FRIDAY

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? UK

SBS, 8.30pm

Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan (pictured) made her name in the UK, but does she have any ancestral ties to her adopted home? Ryan’s snowy Canadian odyssey takes her to Toronto, before leading to a Methodist minister and his family in colonial Nova Scotia, cod traders in Newfoundland and her threetimes great-grandfather James Arminius Richey, a poet of some renown. Eventually, a twinkly-eyed historian in Dorset reveals whether Ryan has any English forebears.

NSW vs QLD karting showdown By Aiden BURGESS

q The Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club will host a State of Origin type showdown.

NEW South Wales and Queensland have shared a fierce sporting rivalry over the years, no better exemplified than by State of Origin. This traditional rivalry is set to continue on the race track this month, when the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club hosts Round 1 of the 2021 Project X Noisy Tour on February 28-29.

Mr Bannerman previously trained his students out of Coffs Harbour Aquatic Centre, working out of one lane prior to taking up his recent coaching contract at Coffs Harbour War Memorial Olympic Swimming Pool. “This has been my opportunity to start a new fresh great program,” Daniel said. Mr Bannerman said he was never allowed to train his swimming students at the Olympic Pool while he was

training his students out of a different facility. “When you are a coach or athlete you know how the business runs, you know how the swimming community works and what the lease agreements are with these pools,” Mr Bannerman said.

Exclusive training rights at Council pool defended By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour War Memorial Olympic Swimming Pool Head Coach Daniel Bannerman has defended the pool’s current coaching arrangements with local swimmers. A News Of The Area story published on Friday 12 February detailed local swimming coach Sarah-Jane Weir’s frustration that her swimming students were unable to be trained by herself at the FINA approved 50m Olympic pool due to Coffs Harbour City Council’s current arrangement to award only one coach the contract for coaching rights at the pool. Ms Weir currently trains her swimming students out of a 20m pool. Her students reside in the Coffs Harbour area, however they are members of the Trinity Lismore Swimming Club and race competitively under this club. Currently, swim students that wish to train out of the 50m Coffs Harbour Olympic

swimming pool must train under the coaches that operate out of the facility. Mr Bannerman responded to the recent news story by stating that this current coaching arrangement between Council and the swimming pool is undertaken at most Council pools, and all local swimming coaches are aware of this. “In regards to the contract process, the way Council have done this is no different to the way any other Council comes to this conclusion for a contract process for a coaching position,” Mr Bannerman stressed. “Council has gone through the right procedure, it was a lengthy procedure, there was a lot of criteria that we had to meet and I want the public to know that it was a normal procedure the same as any other Council-run pool. “It was an open and transparent process, any coach could quote for the coaching contract, it was open for all coaches to do that.”

Daniel commenced his coaching contract at the Olympic pool with his swim company North Coast Swim Academy on 4 January, and has since employed another four swim coaches to assist with the swimming program running at the pool. “We have over 200 swimmers attending Mini Squad, Junior Squad, Senior Squad or Adult Squad, so I can't do that all by myself and that’s why I’ve employed four other coaches as part of the team to work out of that facility,” Daniel said. “They (the swim students) have to be coached within our coaching program that we provide for the community. “With the contract that I signed, exclusive coaching rights for that facility have been awarded to North Coast Swim Academy.” Mr Bannerman said local swim students training out of other aquatic facilities could still use the Olympic pool to train without their coaches present. “There’s nothing stopping them from coming in on their own time and swimming in

last six years where I’ve said ‘I just need some more space, I’ve got that many new kids coming through, I need more room, they want to go to a higher level of swimming I can’t provide’,” he said. “When this coaching contract came out back in September it was my opportunity to further my career in coaching and go for that next step. “I’m happy that I was the successful applicant and can focus on the next four years.” Coffs Harbour City Council took over the management of Coffs Harbour War Memorial Olympic Pool in October 2020, releasing Lane 4 from its lease.

NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) are currently in the planning stage for improving Mullaway Beach Day Use Area facilities in Coffs Coast Regional Park. The proposed works will require soil disturbance in the vicinity of registered midden. Garby, Jagun and Garlambirla Guuyuu-Girrwaa Elders have endorsed the plan in principle, subject to an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) being obtained, and that site officers are present during any soil disturbance.

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.

SEVEN super AFL North Coast juniors have taken a big step towards playing elite level footy. The seven players have gained selection to the QBE Sydney Swans’ Academy’s new Top End program. Phoebe Baptiste (Coffs Harbour Breakers) and Poppy Johnston (Sawtell/Toormina Saints) have gained places in the female under 17 program, while April Devine (Breakers) and Shania King (Northern Beaches Blues) have made the Under 18 squad. Three top male players have also made the Top End program. Angus Anderson (Saints), Will Kelly (Port Macquarie Magpies), and Kyan Upsall (Bellingen Bulldogs/Saints) all gained selection in the

The Top End squads train weekly in Sydney with the program giving players of all ages a mix of skill development, fitness training and high-level competition. All players in the Swans Academy also continue to play with their local club side, regardless of the division or CONTINUED Page 38
