“The rain replenishes soil moisture, it assists with revegetation projects by helping the native seedlings planted to get established,” Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance project manager Justin Couper told News Of The Area.

“Prior to the consistent rain it had been really dry, which is not ideal conditions for planting.”

q A bush regeneration contractor planting trees for the Grey Headed Flying Fox at Boambee Beach.

have rallied to plant over 5,000 trees, focussing on vital nectar and pollen producing tree species preferred by the Grey Headed Flying Fox. “Important Grey Headed Flying Fox feed trees don’t flower every year, and winter and spring can be the time of year that can be more difficult for these Australian native megabats to find food.

“Some of the winter and spring flowering tree species planted include Forest Red Gum, Swamp Mahogany, and Broad-Leaved Paperbark,” he said.

This five-year project is focussed on more than planting feed trees however.

There is also bush regeneration work happening around some of the nationally important roosting sites for Grey Headed Flying Foxes in the area, while Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare also hosted a successful community engagement program at the Woolgoolga camp.

WIRES has funded this project to help ensure Grey Headed Flying Foxes are more secure in the wild, with increased feeding and roosting opportunities.

One of the long-term aims of the project is to reduce the impacts of heat stress through improved and expanded roosting habitat at nationally significant flying fox camps.

The conservation status of Grey Headed Flying Foxes is Vulnerable both

nationally and in NSW. “They are a vital ecological engineer within our forests as they both assist in pollination, and also in dispersing both rainforest and woodland seeds,” said Justin.

Grey Headed Flying Foxes can fly more than 20 kilometres (km) in an evening, and sometimes up to 50 km, in search of food.

“As we have lost habitat, so too have Grey Headed Flying Foxes lost roosting and feeding sites.”

The Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance thanks the City of Coffs Harbour bush regeneration team for its assistance and contribution to the project through the supply of mulch, watering and planting.

Timber industry buoyed by court ruling

By Andrew VIVIAN TIMBER industry supporters on the North Coast had reason to smile last week after a Federal Court judge dismissed a legal challenge to the North East NSW Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) that allows logging in northeastern NSW native forests.

The North East RFA covers the coastal area between Sydney and the Queensland border, and exempts logging from federal environmental assessment under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

The case was brought by the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) against the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of NSW in the first ever legal challenge to a Regional Forest Agreement in NSW. NEFA lawyers argued that, when the RFA was renewed in 2018 for another 20 years, the Commonwealth did not assess climate change, endangered species or oldgrowth forests as it was required to.

Friday, 19 January 2024

Justice Perry dismissed those arguments, finding that such an assessment was not required, and in any event had occurred.

Dr Michelle Freeman, the President of Forestry Australia, welcomed the decision.

“Common sense has prevailed today, and native forestry can have a strong future in Australia,” Dr Freeman said.

“Our Regional Forest Agreements time and time again have proven to be a successful way of sustainably managing Australia’s forests for all their values, and the Federal Court has confirmed this today.

“Our forestry industry, its workers, families and communities that depend on it, can now move on with certainty in their future.”

Member for Oxley Michael Kemp also welcomed the judgement, citing it as evidence that “hardwood timber can coexist within the parameters of conservation”.

“New South Wales forestry operations follow some of the strictest regulations and environmental standards

across the world,” Mr Kemp said.

Mr Kemp said that, of 20 million hectares of State Forest, only 30,000 hectares are available for selective harvesting, equating to less than 0.1 percent or just fourteen in 10,000 trees.

Timber NSW Chairman Andrew Hurford said, “The NSW timber industry not only supports thousands of jobs and contributes billions of dollars to our economy, but its continued operation is vital to shield NSW residents from further cost blowouts in housing, home renovation, energy, transport and consumer goods.

“Power poles, pallets, railway sleepers, flooring, decking, cladding, ferry wharves – without an available supply of locally sourced timber all these products would have to be imported.”

NEFA President Dailan Pugh was disappointed with the result.

“The decision to not require a new assessment put at risk the survival of a multitude of species that have rapidly declined since 1997,

including many nationally threatened species that are not adequately protected under NSW’s logging rules and are being significantly impacted.”

Greens MP and spokesperson for the environment Sue Higginson said, “The decision by the court, that native forest logging is technically lawful, is a devastating blow for our forests but should not be mistaken for an endorsement of native forest logging and should rather be seen as a warning shot to the NSW and

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Commonwealth Governments that native forest logging must be reviewed urgently and ended as soon as possible.

“The court confirmed that in no uncertain terms, this matter is wholly political.

“The finding by the Federal Court may be technically correct under a strict assessment of the lawful requirements, but it confirms what experts and reviews are consistently saying, that our federal environmental laws are outdated and ineffective and represent political failure.”

Managing Lawyer at the Environmental Defenders Office, Andrew Kwan, said without legal reform native forest logging “will continue to be exempt from Commonwealth environmental assessment for at least another 20 years”.

“This could have devastating consequences for wildlife and forests,” he said.

“It is vital that our remaining native forests are properly protected by a reformed federal legal framework that includes strong national oversight.”

Local protesters call for Gaza ceasefire essential infrastructure.”

Foreign Minister Penny Wong travelled to the Middle East this week to “support international diplomatic efforts towards a durable peace” in the region.

“One hundred days since the October 7 terror attacks, I will use Australia's voice to advocate for a pathway out of the current conflict, an increase in vital humanitarian assistance, upholding of international law and greater protection for civilians, preventing regional escalation, and working toward a lasting peace,” Ms Wong said.

“In my engagement with officials in Israel, I will convey Australia's support for Israel's security and its right to defend itself in the face of terrorism, while stressing that the way it does so matters.

“I will reaffirm Australia's call for the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and meet with the families of hostages and survivors of the terror attacks on October 7.

“Personally inspecting the south and witnessing the carnage and destruction would not only convey Australia's support, it is essential to understanding the depth of evil that Israel faces and the necessity of its war to defeat Hamas,” ECAJ CEOs Alex Ryvchin and Peter Wertheim said.

alliance between the two countries and the long history of solidarity between Australian Labor and the people of Israel.

“This is the time to show that this is more than mere words.

“Intentionally bypassing such a visit is a serious error of judgement and we hope the Foreign Minister reconsiders this decision.”

MEMBERS of the Bellingen and Nambucca District Rural Australians for Refugees group held a roadside demonstration in Bellingen last week to draw attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Demonstrators held placards demanding a ceasefire and an end to the “Gaza genocide”.

“The events of 7 October were truly terrible, but, as the Secretary General of the United Nations reminded us, the Hamas attack did not take place in a vacuum,” said group spokesperson Mike Griffin of Valla Beach.

“The Gaza Strip has been blockaded by the Israelis for sixteen years, and there have been four major incursions by the Israeli military during that period, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians.

“What is happening now in the Gaza Strip is not a war of self defence.

“The Israeli military have razed much of Gaza to the ground and have destroyed hospitals, schools, United Nations evacuation centres, churches, mosques and all

Community says ‘hands off our poincianas’ make sure the poincianas are nurtured and not neglected, subject to our own arborist report and funding.”

Many of the residents feel the poincianas are part of Woolgoolga’s DNA, saying they are synonymous with the town like the fig trees along Sawtell’s First Avenue.

Ideas on how to save the trees and how to fund their care were shared at the gathering.

City of Coffs Harbour’s Woolgoolga Movement and Place Plan states, “Woolgoolga has good existing tree planting in some street sections, most notably the Norfolk Island Pines along Beach Street and Poinciana trees in Nightingale Street.

“Unfortunately, the Poinciana trees in Nightingale Street have been pruned inappropriately over the years (in association with providing appropriate clear zones to overhead electricity wires).

“The City’s arborist has undertaken a preliminary assessment which has revealed a number of problems and has consequently recommended the replacement of these trees

City of Coffs Harbour’s (CoCH) Woolgoolga Movement and Place Plan proposes to take out poinciana trees on the corner of Nightingale, Beach and Market Streets and put in four car-park spaces.

On Wednesday 10 January, the beachside town’s residents gathered in numbers on Beach Street, under the branches of the poincianas, to state a common interest to save the trees from destruction.

While CoCH’s Woolgoolga Movement and Place Plan proposes to plant fresh trees, the locals do not want new boughs on the block.

The gathering called for a working group to be established to draw up an action plan encompassing saving, protecting and maintaining the trees.

Northern Beaches Residents Association (NBRA) President Ray Willing told News Of The Area, “Discussions between the community, Woolgoolga Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Beaches Residents Association is now planned to put a program together to

q Northern Beaches Residents Association President Ray Willing speaks in front of gathered protesters. over time.”

It’s the extensive pruning by the power authority that has reportedly affected the healthy longevity of the trees.

Woolgoolga resident Lindsay Hill told NOTA, “I was made aware of Council's ill-considered plan for the removal of Woolgoolga's iconic poinciana treesand made my wife Trish, and in turn others, aware as well.

q Woolgoolga’s treescape at the corner of Market Street looking north.

“I think there is now sufficient anger and disgust in Council’s decisions made by those without any association with Woolgoolga to carry on the fight,” he said.

Another long-time resident, Karen Sedgwick told NOTA, “If Council remove these beautiful trees on Nightingale Street it will change the face of Woolgoolga, and not in a good way.

“I’ve lived in the area for nearly 30 years and have watched these trees grow and blossom.

“Everyone here loves to see those stunning red flowers appear in time for Christmas each year.

“This plan of Council’s to replace these trees with a few parking spots and other trees has caused astonishment and horror through our community.

“How can the City arborist make such an appalling suggestion?

“I am only one voice in many and it is expected that there will be ongoing protests until this ridiculous plan is dropped by Council.

Woolgoolga shop owner Gail Turner told NOTA, “The poinciana trees the Council wants to cut down in Woolgoolga amounts to environmental vandalism.

“Such beautiful trees that add so much character to

Woolgoolga are at the heart and soul of the town.

“Residents and travellers love the trees and there is nothing more beautiful than the poinciana trees in full bloom.

“When the agapanthus flowers are blooming in the gardens surrounding each tree, it’s magnificent.

“The loss of shade and habitat will make the entire area extremely hot, uncomfortable and ugly.

“The locals are disgusted at the council’s decision and will do whatever it takes to stop this from happening.

“There will be an ongoing campaign to lobby councillors to protect the trees.”

Karen Coatsworth from Eco Threads on Market Street told NOTA, “Woolgoolga's poinciana trees are our version of Grafton's jacaranda trees.

“They are very healthy, solid trees that provide shade, a home to wildlife, and a spectacular show of red blooms that bring delight to our local community as well as visitors to the area.

“I personally witnessed a tourist photographing the trees in full display a few months ago during the last flowering season.

“I was coming across the pedestrian crossing in Nightingale Street and the lady

tourist was standing outside Woolgoolga Central taking photos.

“I stopped and commented on how beautiful the trees were, and she agreed enthusiastically.

“I would guarantee there will not only be many of our community members who will be bitterly disappointed to see the poincianas removed, but also many of the regular visitors we have to our wonderful town,” she said.

Karen’s other concern lies with City of Coffs Harbour’s perceived lack of transparency on the issue and the timeline for removal and replacement.

“They have mentioned a ten-year time frame for the Woolgoolga Town Plan.

“Does that mean they will cut the trees down next week because they have been pruned badly and take ten years to provide us with something else?”

A CoCH spokesperson told NOTA, “The poinciana trees in Nightingale Street, Woolgoolga have been deemed unsuitable for their location and recommended for replacement with other trees.

“Any future replacement of the trees would involve further community consultation as part of planning for broader streetscape improvements in the town centre.”

Forestry contractors convicted of assaults

Contact Us Today for Inclusion into this Paper Shannon Sullivan 0409 228 267 Shannon@newsofthearea.com.au

By Andrew VIVIAN

TWO forestry contractors have been found guilty of assaulting two men in Wild Cattle Creek State Forest on 25 June 2020 by Coffs Harbour Local Court.

Mark Graham and Andre Johnston, who were assaulted on a public road in State Forest north of Dorrigo, have been seeking justice for more than three years.

Forestry contractors Michael Luigi Vitali and Rodney James Hearfield were found guilty of the assaults, which were recorded on a mobile camera device by a Forestry Corporation employee.

Following the assault, neither of the contracted forestry workers were initially charged.

Instead, Mr Graham was charged by Coffs Harbour Police.

“The initial investigation into these assaults resulted in the charging of one of the victims,” Greens MP and spokesperson for the environment Sue Higginson said.

“The fact that Mr Graham was charged for a crime when he was a victim of what the Magistrate described as a violent assault on a public road, in a public forest, and it was captured on video, can only be described as a wilful miscarriage of justice.”

Ms Higginson described the video evidence as “confronting and unambiguous”.

“Two members of the community, who are acting in a friendly and non-threatening manner, are approached by two agitated and hostile forestry workers who then proceed to assault them, demand their personal property and shout threatening abuse at

More paramedics headed for the North Coast

THE State Government is delivering on its election commitment for additional paramedics, with 125 additional paramedics set to arrive in regional, rural and remote communities across New South Wales by the middle of 2024.

The first cohort are set to begin their sixweek induction programs this month.

Port Macquarie, South West Rocks, Lismore and Ballina are the North Coast locations proposed to receive additional paramedics.

NSW Ambulance will consult with the Health Services Union and local staff about the proposed locations.

NSW Ambulance Chief Executive Dr Dominic Morgan said the new paramedics would “boost NSW Ambulance’s capacity to provide high quality care to patients across NSW”.

“I look forward to welcoming these new

Dan Backhouse

paramedics to NSW Ambulance, where they will be able to build upon their skills learned in training to help their local communities.

“We have completed service demand and workforce planning to determine where these important roles will be allocated in regional and rural NSW.” Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the government’s focus was to retain existing paramedics while delivering a “critical increase in paramedic numbers where they are needed most”.

“We know that regional, rural and remote communities are grappling with significant workforce shortages, but we are focused on boosting, recruiting and retaining more health workers,” he said.

The NSW Government will continue to roll out the full additional 500 paramedics over a four year period.

The recruitment of additional health workers follows the announcement of a long-awaited pay increase for paramedics in December.

Cost-of-living hits hard as grocery prices continue to rise families who are already doing it tough.

“A price increase of a few dollars here and there may not seem like much, but it can have a significant impact on the weekly budget – especially if you’re doing a big grocery shop,” Mr Ford said.

“We know that the big supermarkets are trying to lure in customers by locking in or dropping prices, but our analysis shows that many of the essentials we shop for each week have actually increased since last year.

“In a time where we’re seeing energy bills skyrocket, feeling pain at the petrol

bowser and seeing insurance premiums rise, the last thing we want is for Australians to be forking out more than they need to on everyday items they need.

“There’s currently an olive oil shortage due to fires and droughts in Europe, which could be why we’re seeing a 100 percent price increase since 2021 for particular products.”

It appears no shopping aisle was exempt from inflation, with breakfast cereals, pet food, potato chips, coffee, deli meats, soft drinks, cleaning items and cheese now costing Australians more than it did

“The lifesavers stayed back as they often do when they see it is necessary and launched the IRB and did make a rescue,” confirmed North Coast Director of Lifesaving, Jayne Morrison.

It comes after incidents late on Saturday 6 January and Monday 8 January, the latter at nearby Moonee Beach, which occurred outside of patrol hours and away from the red and yellow flags.

All persons involved in those incidents are now safe and well.

It’s prompted North Coast lifesavers and SLSNSW to encourage tourists and locals to the area to take greater caution when they visit the coastline.

“Our lifesavers are good people who stay back when they need to, they’re community minded and they want those visiting the region and locals to be safe,”

continued Jayne.

“With Coffs Harbour specifically where we see a lot of tourists at this time, there’s a lot of caravan parks and they’re in lovely spots but the ocean near them isn’t necessarily the safest.

“We just want people to look for the flags and if they don’t see lifesavers on the beach, exercise surf safety and take caution or don’t enter the water.”

SLSNSW Director of Lifesaving Joel Wiseman said, “We’re very pleased that our volunteers on the North Coast are taking public safety seriously and extending their hours when they deem the conditions require it.

“Our lifesavers are highly trained and professional but they’re also regular men and women who are giving up their time to be at the beach patrolling, and we’re proud to have such dedicated and passionate volunteers up and down the NSW coastline.”

Volunteer lifesavers extend hours for North Coast safety VOLUNTEERING lifesavers on the North Coast are calling on the public to take extra caution when heading to the coastline after a string of after-hours incidents at Park Beach in Coffs Harbour and surrounds.

Notably, an incident on Sunday evening, 7 January, at a time the flags would usually have been down, saw lifesavers activated and assist in the rescue of a group of six swimmers who were in distress at the northern end of Park Beach.

Volunteers alerted the Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) State Operations Centre to the incident unfolding after 5pm, with four of those in trouble making it back to shore while a fifth was picked up by lifesavers in the Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB).

The final person was assisted from the water by a member of the public.

for all Australians, especially when they’re making savings on their own costs.

“If there are further steps that are needed then the Government will not hesitate to take action.”

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the Government expects all companies to treat Australian consumers fairly.

“As a Government we’re taking a fresh look at the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct to make sure the sector is giving consumers and suppliers a fair deal,” Mr Chalmers said.

“When the price of meat and fruit and veggies comes down for supermarkets, it should come down for families as well – it’s a big chance for the big supermarkets to do the right thing.”

Mr Chalmers also indicated that he had been in “ongoing discussions” with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on further monitoring of grocery prices.

“We want to make sure that we've got downward pressure on these prices,” Mr Chalmers said.

“We want to unleash the power of competition.

“That often begins with a robust monitoring regime

SHOPPERS are continuing to feel the pinch at the supermarket checkout amid the worsening cost-of-living crisis, with new data from Compare the Market showing that the price of common groceries has jumped more than 40 percent since 2021.

Some of the biggest price hikes of the items analysed were mixed vegetables (54 percent), Australian brushed potatoes (53 percent), peppermint tea bags (50 percent), baked beans (40 percent) and toilet cleaner (40 percent).

Compare the Market’s Chris Ford said any price hike would impact Australian

in 2021.

The price of Bega Tasty Cheese Block has jumped $2.50 (31 percent), Red Rock Deli Sea Salt chips are up 35 percent, while a ten-pack of Coca-Cola 375ml has seen a 32 percent increase.

Last week, the Federal Government announced the appointment of Dr Craig Emerson to lead a 2023–24 review of the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct to ensure that the supermarket sector is working as it should.

Prescribed under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, Aldi, Coles, Woolworths and Metcash are signatories to the Code and are bound by it.

The Code was introduced to improve standards of business behaviour in the food and grocery sector.

The Code regulates the conduct of these retailers and wholesalers towards suppliers.

“If the price for meat and fruit and vegetables is going down at the farm gate then families should be seeing cheaper prices on supermarket shelves too,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.

“Supermarkets have a duty to make sure they’re providing affordable options

and also the right kinds of codes.”

On Tuesday morning, the Prime Minister said ACCC Chairwoman Gina Cass-Gottlieb is “carefully looking at potential litigation and is saying in a very clear warning that that's an option that's open to the ACCC”.

Nationals leader David Littleproud said his party had been calling for the ACCC to investigate supermarkets since November.

“Under section 95, the Treasurer has the legislated power to direct the ACCC and give it strong powers to compel witnesses and recommend harsher penalties,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The Nationals wanted this investigation urgently before Christmas but Labor is simply too slow to take action.

“They are only now realising these powers exist, but promised Australians the two inquiries they announced would yield results.

“We need an inquiry into disparities between farmgate and retail food pricing.

“The ACCC has the powers to properly investigate as part of a dedicated inquiry to ensure fairness for farmers and consumers and it’s baffling it has taken the government so long to realise.”

Daughter issues desperate plea for information on missing father

By Doug CONNOR

THE heartbroken daughter of a man missing from a rural Clarence Valley property is urgently calling on the public to come forward with information about her father’s whereabouts.

Leslie Wayne Keating, who turned 64 on Boxing Day, was last seen at a rural property on Ramornie Station Road, Ramornie, about 25 kilometres northwest of Grafton, at about 2.30pm on Friday 20 October 2023.

“He was dropped off by a taxi to his property on the afternoon of 20 October,” said Storm Keating, Mr Keating’s daughter.

“Later that afternoon he had a phone call.

“That was the last anyone heard from him.”

Mr Keating was officially reported as a missing person on 12 November after his two daughters, living abroad and out-ofstate, requested police conduct a welfare check at the property.

Due to the property’s remote location and

limited reception, it was not unusual for Mr Keating to be out of contact for extended periods.

“The welfare check showed that he wasn’t there, and both of his dogs were found deceased in a state of decay on the property,” Ms Keating said.

Police and emergency services then mobilised to complete extensive searches of the area surrounding the property.

“The police initially did a line search after the welfare check, then a ground search with police and State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers,” Ms Keating said.

“They had a cadaver dog come out to the property as well.

“They then did a second ground search with a unit which specialises in rough terrain and bushy areas.

“They have also done a helicopter search and a search of the rivers and the waterways in the area.”

With search options exhausted, Ms Keating said the family and police are now reliant on information coming in from the public.

“The police have said they can’t physically search anymore,” she said.

While numerous false sightings have been recorded, no firm leads have arisen as to Mr Keating’s location.

With her father last seen almost three months ago, Ms Keating remains convinced he would not have left the property by his own free will, or without his dogs.

“My dad, on three separate occasions, has discharged himself from hospital against doctors’ wishes to go home to his animals,” she said.

“He never would have left them to suffer but they both died of dehydration.”

Mr Keating was known to frequent the Grafton and South Grafton areas.

“He was a very routine man.

“He generally went into town once a week, always on the day he got paid his disability pension.”

For now, the family’s search continues, with Ms Keating, who was living with her partner in Ireland at the time of the

Ms Keating described her father as the “strongest person I know” and “tough as nails but sensitive”.

“It has been incredibly difficult emotionally, especially with Christmas and then his birthday on Boxing Day. “We have never gone a Boxing Day without speaking to him.”

She offered an

impassioned plea to the community to come forward with any leads.

“If anyone does have any information, even if they think it is insignificant, please contact the police.

“Any small piece of information can lead to us finding him.

“We are heartbroken without him.

“It is the not knowing that is the hardest part.”

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Bob Crain will play a mix of his original tunes and a few choice covers, while thirteen-year-old Orara High School student Dylan Wigley will entertain with his keyboard and vocal stylings.

Originally from the USA, Crain relocated to the Coffs Coast in 2023 from Melbourne and describes himself as a songwriter first and foremost.

With three released CDs and years on the gigging trail, he has plenty of material to choose from for next Sunday's gig.

“My songs are a mixture of passion, inspiration and experience,” Crain told News Of The Area.

“It’s entertainment for young and old," he said.

The elder songsman is chuffed to have young Dylan Wigley joining the Music Mania gig.

“Dylan has an array of songs across many genres and eras and is an absolute joy to listen to.

Celebrating Bellingen’s community heroes and new citizens THE annual Bellingen Shire Community Awards will take place on Thursday 25 January at the Bellingen Memorial Hall Studio.

The Community Awards serve as a platform to honour and recognise the tireless efforts of local heroes who consistently contribute to the betterment of the Shire.

This event is an opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of individuals who selflessly show up every day to make a positive impact on our community.

Nominations for the awards were open to the public, and this year witnessed an impressive influx of nominations in each category: Citizen of the Year Award, Young Citizen of the Year Award, Sport and Recreation Award, and the Home Grown Heroes Award.

Bellingen Shire Council expresses its thanks to those who took the time and effort to nominate deserving candidates.

“It was great to see the detail and effort that went into the nominations this

year,” Mayor Steve Allan said.

“It was a competitive and high-quality section of nominees this year, which made the judging very challenging – but rewarding.

“I was particularly thrilled with the amount of nominations for the Young Citizen of the Year Award, which really shows the level of engagement and talent in our up-and-coming generation – it made me really proud.”

The Community Awards event will be paired with

a Citizenship Ceremony, welcoming new Australian citizens into the community.

Community members are invited to attend both events.

Attendees can also enjoy light refreshments and live music by Katie & Memo while reflecting on the achievements of the community in 2023.

The Bellingen Shire Community Awards and Citizenship Ceremony will run from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm on 25 January 2024 at the Bellingen Memorial Hall Studio.

Improving lives through power of horses and healing

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Coast horsewoman Beck Beverley is harnessing the healing power of horses to improve lives.

Kitchi Kai Support Horses, based in Coramba, specialises in providing support and companionship through the use of miniature horses.

“We aim to enhance the wellbeing and quality of life for individuals/groups facing physical, emotional or mental challenges,” founder Beck told News Of The Area.

“We strive to create positive and therapeutic experiences that meet you where you are at, which promotes healing,

independence and a sense of empowerment.”

No stranger to trauma herself, Beck’s drive to follow her calling came from lived experience.

“After the 2019 Kian Road fire I saw first-hand the impact and devastation it had on the community.

“I witnessed the impact first-hand that a horse can bring.

“The ability to sense the full spectrum of emotions and how they respond in those moments are life changing.”

She came about this powerful ability accidently after witnessing a moment with her own horse.

“It was like he breathed

in all the pain, fear and frustration and in that moment, there was only him and her.”

After witnessing this, Beck set about learning more and discovered how truly amazing horses can be.

“I have begun studying with the Equine Psychotherapy Institute and graduated from the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation,” she said.

Kitchi Kai Support Horses operates as a mobile service from Kempsey to Grafton and west to Dorrigo.

Sponsorships are a key component and Beck is ever grateful for interest and commitment from both businesses and private

Free workshops for photographers PHOTOGRAPHER Ronnie Grammatica will be teaching two free workshops on 4 and 17 February at Yarrila Arts and Museum, Coffs Harbour.

Ronnie is a photo-media artist who lives in Crescent Head, NSW. After relocating to Australia from Italy in 2014,

he has used his photographic practice to explore what it means to be Australian as a mechanism to understand both his own culture and the cultures of others.

“Personally as a photographer, I am passionate about photography as an artform,” Ronnie told NOTA. The first workshop is

‘How to photograph 2D and 3D artworks using a smartphone’.

The session is hands on, with time dedicated to taking photographs and digital image editing and processing using free online software and apps.

In the second workshop, ‘How to prepare for an exhibition’, Ronnie will talk

about exhibition timelines and checklists, how to write an artist and exhibition statement, documenting the exhibition and preparing a social media plan.

“You need more than a solid body of work - you need to know how to speak about your art with your curator and audience,” Ronnie told NOTA.

Excitement builds as Coffs prepares to welcome legends WITH just over a week to go until one of the most anticipated events on the Coffs Coast entertainment calendar, organisers are gearing up for a hectic final eight days.

On Saturday January 27, music legends Brian Cadd, Russell Morris and Glenn Shorrock will come together for a night to remember at the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden.

Organisers John Logan Entertainment (JLE) have been busy with the final preparations for the concert.

“It has been a busy time, lots of early mornings and late nights,” John said.

“We’ve been to so many other towns spreading the word, I sometimes forget what town we are in.”

Gates will open at 5pm and the music starts at 6pm with Mal Eastick.

Brian and Glenn will then play with the Little Steely Band and Russell his own band.

The concert is expected to finish around 9.45pm.

Special traffic provisions will be in place in and around the Gardens, with no right turn into Hardacre St from 5pm.

After the event, there will be no left turn coming out of Hardacre St. “After consultation with Police, we have put these simple plans in place to minimise disruption,” John

said.

“We also encourage people to park away from the site and where possible walk to the Gardens; there is a generous drop off zone at the front gate so those with any mobility problems can be dropped off right out front.”

Tickets are available at trybooking.com, with organisers reminding the community to only purchase from the one accredited agency to avoid scams.

If unsure, call the JLE office on 66 528266. q Legends Brian Cadd, Russell Morris and Glenn Shorrock will play the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden on January 27.

Celebrating the life of Eric Manko

By Andrea FERRARI

AN outpouring of deep affection and memories were shared by the Lowanna and Ulong village communities at the funeral of Erich (Eric) Manko.

Aged 94, Eric passed at 11:30pm on December 31, 2023.

The funeral was held on Eric’s lawn at home in Lowanna.

Rebecca Donnelly, a close, long-time family friend from Lowanna, shared Eric’s

story with News Of The Area on behalf of the grieving mountain community.

Eric was born in Puppen in 1929, in the former Prussia, now Poland.

Living through World War II in Germany, he lost his father in the war and saw his grandmother killed by Russian soldiers.

Eric married Klare and they welcomed two beautiful children, Peter and Regina.

Seeking a move away from Germany, Eric first applied to go to Canada, however his

mother found the application papers and ripped them up.

The family was then approved for a move to Australia, arriving at Bonegilla, Albury in 1957.

Eric quickly accepted a job in Ulong, and after a number of other roles, eventually went on to work at the Pilks Pine Saw Mill in Lowanna, where he made many happy memories.

Knowledge of the English language was limited for Eric during his early days in Ulong, but he quickly worked

“Age is no barrier, you only need to have a willingness to join and perhaps a sense of adventure and fun helps as well,” said Julie Ross, dance studio principal.

“The classes teach basic techniques of dance but not in a serious way.”

Julie has been teaching dance for more than 40 years.

“It is always important to be aware of safe dance practice and have the knowledge and understanding of the body and dance technique.

“As I've matured as a dancer and teacher the fun, frivolity and friendship bonds formed within the group are just as important.

“I love that the group welcomes new members with open arms and will offer to practise with them.”

On Mondays, three levels of tap classes are being offered this year.

“Tap has become so popular again and participants like to start at the very beginning.”

Creative Seated Dance classes are held on a Wednesday.

“Creative Seated dance is so much fun and a bit more energetic than people expect, which can come as a nice surprise.

Will contested on mental health grounds MAL was an eccentric millionaire and later in life he was well known for bouts of mental instability.

Mal died and his will left the bulk of his estate to two of his three children.

Ronny was given a comparably very small amount due to his vengeful relationship with his father.

Ronny, not happy, challenged the will, alleging that his father lacked the mental capacity to make sound decisions regarding his large estate.

Ronny’s legal argument hinged on Mal’s well-documented mental health history, alleging to the Court that his father was of unsound mind at the time the will was drafted.

To determine capacity the Court outlined a long held common law doctrine that is set out in a four-part test.

Firstly, the court examined whether Mal understood the nature of the act of writing a will and its effects.

Evidence showed that he had lucidly discussed his intentions with his solicitor on many occasions prior to making his will, thereby demonstrating his comprehension of the act.

Secondly, Mal's awareness of the extent of his property was scrutinized. Detailed solicitors’ notes and Mal’s personal financial records revealed his intimate knowledge of his holdings, thereby satisfying the second criterion.

The third part of the test checked whether Mal could comprehend and appreciate the claims he ought to give effect to.

Mal provided the bulk of his estate for his two children that remained close and who were succeeding his business, showing his understanding of his moral obligations.

Lastly, the court looked for any disorder of the mind that might have poisoned his affections, perverted his sense of right, or prevented the exercise of his natural faculties.

The medical examinations and expert testimonials presented showed no evidence of such an impairment at the time the will was made.

The Court concluded that Mal had the requisite mental capacity when he made his will.

DEAR Jasminda,

Celebrate Australia Day on the day!

DEAR News Of The Area,

JUST wondering if anyone else was disappointed or dismayed to find out that Coffs Harbour City Council was on the list of NSW local councils holding their Citizenship and Award ceremonies on a day other than Australia Day. I would like to know why the community of Coffs Harbour wasn’t consulted on the change of date, by way of a survey or something similar.

After all, Council is supposed to be working for and representing the people of Coffs Harbour.

Seems to me that this is yet another

example of wokeism being imposed from above and stealthily creeping into all aspects of our lives!

I urge everyone who feels strongly about this issue to contact the Council and express their views.

We live in the best country in the world so let’s be thankful and proud of that fact.

Let’s celebrate Australia Day and its associated ceremonies on Australia Day, January 26!

Kind regards, Ann THOMPSON, Coffs Harbour.

A day for unity and harmony DEAR News Of The Area,

THE ideal concept of Australia Day is that it is a day of unity and harmony that celebrates our land and the best of our culture.

It follows that the date chosen for this celebration needs to be free of any connections to disunity, disharmony, division or associations with suffering for any of the groups that make up the nation.

It is clear that 26 January does not meet these requirements.

Since at least 1938 that date has been seen as a day of mourning for many descendants of those Australians who inhabited this land before 1788.

If we continue with that particular date, even if a majority want to, then Australia Day will always fail to be what it is intended to be.

There is a good case to change to a date in May associated with the true beginning of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 – an occasion free of negative associations.

Regards, John GRAY, Coffs Harbour.

Dyed-in-the-wool patriot DEAR News Of The Area,

IF there is anything in this world that is certain, it is change (Cancellation of Australia Day citizenship ceremony is unAustralian, NOTA January 12).

Only a few years ago Australia Day was a full-on knees up, with cars decorated with the Australian flag carrying excited young people to their various barbecues while shorts, hats, thongs, towels, tablecloths, faces etc bore the same decoration.

Celebrations are much more muted

and less colourful now.

As we become more educated in our history it is hard for ordinary Australians to rejoice when for some of our number January 26 spelled unparalleled disaster.

While acknowledging my British heritage I am immensely proud of being Australian, not least because I tread the same soil as a people with thousands of years of unbroken society behind them and whose resilience and generosity have bred leaders today who carry those qualities into public life.

I love to contemplate the delegation of Aboriginals led by William Cooper who walked into Melbourne to the German embassy in 1938 to protest that country's treatment of the Jews, while the rest of

My friend phones me when he is on his commute home.

I feel as though he only wants to speak with me to make the time go more quickly.

Meanwhile, I have to stop what I'm doing to listen.

I can tell he's driving because of all the background noise.

Dennis W. DEAR DENNIS, THERE are quite a few situations where phone calls can be irritating at best. When you receive a call, it's important that both the caller and receiver give each other their undivided attention, otherwise things can get lost in translation.

Communicating effectively can be extremely difficult when one person is listening attentively and the other is navigating traffic and entering mobile reception black spots, all while trying to have a conversation.

I'd simply suggest to your friend that while you appreciate hearing from him, you can't hear a lot of the conversation because of all the background noise.

Alternatively, the next time you chat, just hang up after five minutes and blame it on bad reception.

If he still doesn't get the message, do household chores while he talks.

Great options include vacuuming, unpacking the dishwasher, or renailing the back deck.

At least that way you're not wasting your time.

When he can't hear you either, the shine will soon wear off and he'll hopefully take up listening to podcasts or music instead.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

the world stood helplessly by.

I suspect Council is responding to a general feeling in the public by changing (not cancelling) the day for citizenship ceremonies, while Woolworths and Aldi are making business decisions not to stock additional Australia Day products.

For them it's all about supply and demand.

I really want to celebrate being Australian and I know one day it will be possible to have a proper knees up all together.

Regards, Margaret ENGLAND, Toormina.

By PAUL AMOS (Mayor) City of Coffs Harbour COUNCILLORS spend a lot of time in council meetings considering formal council reports regarding policies, strategies and master plans.

It is important to understand community aspirations and consider community concerns.

We then apply a consistent template and identify a long-term vision that can be linked to change initiatives.

OPINION & LETTERS

City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos This ensures a fair and proportionate processes and outcomes.

These strategies and plans are important to have in place to assist in accessing grant funding.

It shows we have a plan and pathway we are working to.

Examples of policies include how complaints are dealt with and our social media policy.

An example of a strategy is our Public Realm Strategy.

A recently adopted master plan is the Woolgoolga Place and Movement Plan.

This provides a template to continue designing and upgrading the village.

The process was initiated by the

Inconvenient truths DEAR News Of The Area,

THIS year is the 75th Anniversay of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention), established by the UN General Assembly on 9 December 1948, ratified by members including Australia in 1949, and coming into effect in 1951.

Naturally enough most of the participating countries back then only saw the relevance of the convention to the Nazi treatment of the Jewish peoples, with our then Federal opposition leader Robert Menzies making the incredulous claim that genocide “could never happen here” and “hasten[ed] to say that persecution of that kind has never been tolerated in Australia”.

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

It is probably not surprising then that it took another 50 years before the Australian government actually saw the need to incorporate ‘genocide’ as a potential punishable offence into Australian criminal law.

That was partly because it was pointed out in the late 1980s that we possibly harboured some Nazi war criminals.

Perhaps more embarrassing was a report by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission in 1997 which found that the removal of Indigenous children from their families in the period between 1910 and 1970 had constituted genocide as defined in the Convention (HREOC 1997).

In 2002 the Federal Government finally incorporated the act of ‘genocide’

Woolgoolga Town Centre Master Plan, with the draft place and movement plan put out to community consultation for two months.

Feedback was integrated and some amendments were made to the plan.

A post endorsement contribution by some community members is concern around potential removal and replacement of some poinciana trees in some five to ten years time, subject to funding.

Points of contention such as this can be attended to as part of the ongoing community consultation and design refinement as the plan is implemented.

A quick update on the Jetty Foreshores

into criminal law, making sure it included provisions designed to reduce the possibility of any retrospective claim by victims.

One of the common arguments when inconvenient historical issues are discussed is that we cannot judge them by modern standards.

However, historical records show the genocide of the original Australians was called out by a handful of conscientious individuals at the time and they were conveniently ignored or ridiculed.

As a nation we have also been highly selective in our response to genocide around the globe and some would say have been less than upright in our dealings with refugees.

The current atrocities in Israel and Gaza have shown that ‘genocide’ is happening live – here and now in 2024, and yet sections of our community are still having ‘difficulty’

illegal camping issue.

Illegal camping is a problem we share with most councils.

In this instance, most of the land is in the ownership of Property and Development NSW, which has now acknowledged its responsibility to maintain control over this area.

At no stage did the City have any jurisdiction over this property.

Property and Development NSW has advised the area will have some fencing and signage installed by the end of January.

Sadly, this will mean there will likely be more illegal camping over the summer holiday period.

This shows the NSW Government struggles to effectively manage this land from Sydney and underlines the fact that the property owner intends to rezone and repurpose this property.

The City of Coffs Harbour continues to seek to have this land for the community.

calling it for what it is.

There are historical reasons for this of course, apart from our discomfort with past inconsistencies.

We not only share strong political alliances with Israel but also military complicity.

US intelligence gathering at Australian bases such as Pine Gap will almost certainly be providing live data for Israel’s strategic bombing of Gaza.

Our Federal Government’s recent poor treatment of military war crimes 'whistleblower’ David McBride also reveals a Government and establishment still unable to deal with ‘inconvenient’ truths.

Regards, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

How do we cope with climate change?

DEAR News Of The Area,

IN response to Wayne Duesbury’s recent letter on climate change I would suggest that most argument on the topic and man's contribution to it is largely

governed by one's political affiliation rather than science, but this letter is not about that.

He is correct in stating that there is evidence of changes through history and it is still happening. The real issue is how

we are going to cope with the change.

Recent events with floods and fires are of concern to the point that insurers are charging higher and higher premiums in recognition that things are getting worse.

The issue is not if but how.

Regards, Peter FARQUHAR, Coffs Coast.

An unbelievable decision on native forests DEAR News Of The Area,

IT is unbelievable that the courts have ruled in favour of the continued destruction and clear felling of our old growth native forests!

This is despite Australia’s record extinction of our precious native wildlife due to loss of habitat, food source and

threats of bushfires, floods and drought due to climate change.

If our state and federal politicians were listening to the voting public, they would know that a top priority for our environment, and the preservation of our forests and wildlife, is the immediate end of native forest logging!

The outdated economical argument

Farewell Garry Nehl DEAR News Of The Area,

LIKE Colin McIntyre I too am surprised and a little disappointed at the lack of tribute to Garry Nehl on his passing.

Some may say: “Where is your letter?”

I am in my 93rd year and finding it a little difficult to put words together but here goes.

My wife Ruth and I have been fortunate to have known Garry and Sue Nehl for many years and have witnessed the many things Garry achieved for the electorate of Cowper.

Friday, 19 January 2024

The things Garry did for Cowper touched us all.

The establishment of the Marine Science Centre is one that impacted on my family.

My granddaughter Lucy will shortly graduate from this institution as a marine scientist.

VALE Garry Nehl.

Footnote: Garry would not have tolerated meddling with Australia Day. Regards, Bill PALMER, Coffs Coast.

of job preservation and the importance to preservation of local towns no longer holds true.

These timber industries are operating at a loss, are unsustainable, and more income can be achieved from tourism, especially if the existing forests and wildlife are preserved.

This is not an argument to be voted on

by lawyers, instead listen to the people who care.

Common sense must prevail!

Too much has already been lost.

Paralympian takes on Summer Splash

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour native and Paralympic silver medallist Maddie McTernan claimed five multiclass gold medals over the weekend at the Coffs Harbour Swim Club Summer Splash Carnival.

The Gold Coast-based swimmer was also a guest speaker at the carnival after a high-achieving 2023, winning gold and silver medals at the 2023 World Para Swimming Championships held in Manchester in the UK. In September, she went on to win three gold medals and a silver at the 2023 Australian Short Course Swimming Championships held at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

Closing the year in December at the Queensland State Championships, she won one gold, three silver and two bronze medals to cap off a stellar 2023 season.

During the event, McTernan presented signed framed photos of her gold medal winning 4 x 100 mixed medley relay teammates Ben Hance, Jake Michel and Paige Leonhardt to the Coffs Harbour Swim Club, her former coach Eugene

of the Coffs Harbour Swim Club history,” McTernan told NOTA. “I had a lot of great memories here growing up in Coffs.

"It’s great to give back to the club and the Coffs community.

“I am so grateful and appreciative of the kind support over the years.

"Fingers crossed I make the

Australian Dolphins swim team again for Paris and get another win for Australia.”

McTernan congratulated the local swimming club on its continued support for multiclass swimmers.

“It’s great to see the new talent emerging,” she said.

“When I started swimming for the club in 2014, I was the only multiclass swimmer in the club, now the club has five promising young swimmers coming through.

“I am looking forward to seeing how these youngsters progress in the future.”

Second junior cricket seasons of the summer to start after school holidays

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour District Cricket Association is calling on juniors to come and play cricket when school resumes, as they take the unique approach to split the summer season in two.

Both the Under 12s and Under 10s second season of the summer gets underway in early February.

The Under 12s new season gets underway on Saturday, 3 February, with the Under 10s getting underway on Thursday, 8 February.

Under 12s matches are played on Saturday mornings, with Under 10s matches played on Thursday nights.

Bellingen/Dorrigo won the first Under 12s season of the summer, beating Diggers Cricket Club in the grand

final.

David Horseman, Competition Coordinator Mid North Coast, encouraged juniors to come and play cricket after the school holidays.

“Essentially, we would like to build on the momentum of the recent Big Bash League, and try to get more players across our 10s and 12s age groups,” he said.

“The competition starts in February when school goes back, and we want to encourage as many kids as possible to come and play the second half of the season.

“We have split these two age groups into two seasons to allow for more people to join.”

Horseman explained the move to split the summer into two seasons.

“Basically, because you want kids who have been watching cricket in the school holidays to come and play,” he said.

“We are trying to see if that gets any interest, and keep that momentum of the Big Bash League going and build on that interest.

“The Under 12s and Under 10s are important age groups, as we are missing numbers in the Under 16s due to the COVID years, so we need to rebuild.

“By splitting the competition, we are trying something different, and it’s the first time we’ve split the season so we’re trialling it to see how it goes.”

Horseman explained why juniors should give cricket a crack.

“It’s a great team sport you can play with your mates and learn new skills, and you can create lifelong friends in this sport,” he said.

By Aiden BURGESS

THE ANNUAL Sawtell Fun Run has been run and won, despite the Sawtell Super Fun Day having to be cancelled on New Year’s Day due to the heavy rain.

Met with overcast and drizzly conditions,176 athletes lined up for the 5.25 kilometre run.

Former Coffs Suns junior plays in her second WNBL season

By Aiden BURGESS

LIZZY Tonks has been putting her skills to the ultimate test playing in Australia’s premier women’s basketball competition.

The former Coffs Harbour Suns junior is currently playing her second season in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL).

The 26-year-old has been playing for the Adelaide Lightning in the current WNBL season.

Tonks made the move to South Australia after playing her debut season in the WNBL for the University of Canberra Capitals.

Before making her WNBL debut for Canberra, she had spent time in the nation’s capital coming through the Centre of Excellence Program at the AIS, as well as playing for Canberra-based teams.

Prior to signing with the Lightning for the current WNBL season, the guard had an outstanding season playing for the Canberra Nationals in the NBL1 East semi-professional competition, where she averaged 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game.

Tonks explained what prompted her move to South Australia.

“I suppose there were a few reasons,” she said. “(Former WNBL player) Nat Hurst coached me while I was in Canberra, and she now coaches the Lightning and recruited me here.

“I really like playing under Nat, as she has had the biggest impact on me of any coach.

“It’s been good moving here, I like the Adelaide lifestyle, and having had no access to a beach at Canberra, now we live right on the beach which is great.”

She explained the role Coach Hurst wanted her to play at the Lightning.

“Coming into the season it was as a backup point guard,” she said.

“Just bringing that energy and intensity off the bench.

“She trusts me a lot, and it’s definitely an expanding role from the one I had at the Capitals.”

After devoting much of her life to basketball, Tonks took some time away from the sport, but returned with a renewed competitive fire which helped her reach the WNBL.

q Lizzy Tonks in action for the Adelaide Lightning.

“After playing in college in the USA, I stopped playing and didn't think I’d ever get back to any competitive level,” she said.

“But I was itching to get back that competitiveness I had lost, so I came back.

“Looking back in hindsight, I didn’t think I would make the WNBL, so it’s definitely one of my biggest achievements.”

Her fondest memory of her junior days with the Coffs Suns was growing up playing alongside her teammates.

“Starting with the same group of players when you are really young, and playing together for twelve years, that was the best part,” she said.

“Also, when (former NBL player) Matt Shanahan was here, he really helped develop me from a state player to a junior Australian player.”

Tonks is one of three former Coffs Harbour Suns juniors in the WNBL this season, with Kristy Wallace having made the All-WNBL First Team last season playing for the Melbourne Boomers, while Isla Juffermans is in her rookie season for the Sydney Flames.

BEAUTIFUL LAKES OF NORTHERN ITALY

SBS, 8.40pm

Ditch the travel agency and tune into this immersive travelogue. It only seems appropriate to pour yourself your drink of choice and settle into a half-awake reverie as you relax into the glorious scenery. There’s quaint towns clinging to hills above turquoise water, velvety green mountains and medieval stone hamlets as well as smiling locals whipping up cheese and boats lolling about in the bay. The beauty of Northern Italy is on display, and after settling in for two immersive episodes, beginning tonight, you may mistakenly believe you have actually set foot in the stunning region. Tonight’s lush, light-filled exploration traverses Lake Maggiore to Lake Como.

Almost a century after the Australian Museum commissioned three life-like statues of Aboriginal people that were exhibited, half-naked and nameless, as evidence of what the national census declared “a dying race”, the family of Ngarigo woman Nanny Nellie Bungil Walker are taking steps to reclaim her identity and tell her story. Award-winning filmmaker Daniel King is behind this striking feature, as he documents his mother Aunty Irene Ridgeway’s efforts to honour her greatgrandmother. Irene’s profoundly personal journey begins by finding the descendants of the other sculptures, before retracing Nellie’s life story in a healing show of inner strength.

ABC, 8.30pm

Even if you only have a passing interest in Paul McCartney and The Beatles, this six-part miniseries makes for compulsory viewing. The music legend’s ongoing chat with famed producer Rick Rubin is a fascinating insight into the early days of the band, with this third episode focusing on their breakthrough in the American market, their time spent in India, as well as the band’s friendship with fellow icons Little Richard and Roy Orbison. It’s all interspersed with musical interludes where McCartney brilliantly breaks down the creation and recording of some classic Beatles tracks. While Fab Four fans will get the most out of this, it’s a must-see for all music lovers.

Summer Splash www.newsofthearea.com.au

q Coffs Harbour Swim Club members gather for the annual Summer Splash event.

By Andrea FERRARI CENTENARY celebrations and the hosting of the annual Summer Splash carnival made for a memorable weekend for the Coffs Harbour Swim Club.

“The annual Summer Splash was a massive success,” Coffs Harbour Swim Club secretary Sam Bergen told News Of The Area.

“We hosted over 260 swimmers from 36 clubs across the two days and there were lots of personal bests (PBs) achieved, qualifying times for state meets met and some club records broken.

“The swimmers were all fortunate to be able to watch Paralympian Maddie McTernan swim and to get her autograph.

“Maddie also presented the club and her former coach Eugine Brogmus with a beautiful, autographed picture of her Olympic medals-winning team,” said Sam. On Saturday night, the focus shifted to celebrating the club’s centenary.

“With many families joining us we made sure there was something for everyone,” Sam said.

“We presented a walk through the club’s history with memorabilia and history on display.”

City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos and Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh both made an appearance.

“Both popped in to congratulate the club.”

A number of fun swimming-themed events were held, including the ‘coin toss’ and the ‘buccaneer challenge’.

“We had everyone, from the smallest members through to our biggest, and even one of our life members, Richy Lloyd,

tackling the slippery buccaneer challenge.”

Nine of the club’s swimmers, supported by former Australian synchronised swimmer Helen Phipps, put on a beautiful synchronised swimming demonstration that they learnt over the past four weeks.

Food trucks Rollaway and Get Whipped provided the food for the evening, while the Coffs Coast Pipes and Drums band stirred the crowd with an energetic performance.

Swim Club Life Members Colleen Gill and Jenni Bailey q Coffs Harbour Swim Club Life Members Mrs Colleen Gill and Mrs Jenni Bailey cut the centenary cake.

did the honours of cutting the centenary birthday cake, made by Kirk at the Woolworths bakery in Woolgoolga.

The night concluded with a fireworks display by Kaboom.

“It was an exceptional weekend, the committee is so grateful to everyone who came and helped us celebrate the momentous achievements and all the hard work and contributions from each and every person who helped over the weekend to make it the success it was,” said Sam.
