government to sexual harassment including Brittany Higgin’s rape allegation and the alleged rape

by Attorney-General Christian Porter of a woman who later took her own life.

Speakers included Dr Lisa Milne from Southern Cross University who said one in five women have reported sexual violence and called for more equal gender representation in Parliament.

“Why is it Mr Morrison automatically believes Porter?

“That’s garbage.

“The default should be to believe the victim.”

Ms Wolschenko listed the reasons she was rallying.

“I’m here today for Brittany Hiiggins raped in the Defence Minister’s office then called a lying cow.

“I’m here for those fifteen and sixteen year old girls who were bashed in Sydney by those three men.

“I’m here for the hundreds of girls who have now come forward complaining about sexual assault in schools.

“I’m also here for the women suffering from domestic violence.

“They are the unspoken women who suffer in silence a lot of them and have done for years so that’s why I am marching today.”

Joint ANZAC Day Service

By John LLOYD

THE RSL Sub-branches of The Coffs Coast are approved to conduct a joint Coffs Coast Community

ANZAC Day Commemorative Service at the C.ex Stadium on 25 April at 9:00am.

The event is a joint initiative of the Urunga, Woolgoolga, Sawtell and Coffs

Sub-branches.

The COVID compliant Remembrance Service will be a seated event restricted to an approved number, which is 3,000 at this stage.

Greatest Shave for a Cure’ event from 10 to 14 March this year, encouraging people to raise funds by collecting donations for shaving their head or colouring their hair.

Coffs Harbour local Jim Watts was diagnosed with Non-

Hodgkin’s lymphoma some years ago and has celebrated being in full remission two years after successful treatment at the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute by shaving his head and beard.

The event took place on

Harbour City Council; Daniel Heather, Stadium & Major Events; David Doyle OAM, President of the C.ex Club Group and Elizabeth Robertson, Senior Policy Officer, LGNSW. COVID safe requirements include maintaining two

square metres per person, 1.5m social distancing, hand wash facilities, QR code check in and individual registrations.

Individual Subbranches may still conduct their own Dawn services as they so choose.

Sunday 14 March at Jim’s Coin and Stamp stall at the regular Sunday markets in the Castle Street car park.

Jim was supported by his daughter Koby and her family, with Koby skilfully wielding the clippers to remove Jim’s flowing locks, much to the delight of a small crowd.

When asked why he chose to participate in ‘Shave for a Cure’, Jim said, “I want to give

something back to those who have supported me through my illness, treatment and recovery, and to support a family friend who is fighting their own cancer battle.”

Each day in Australia, 47 people and their families will find out that they are facing blood cancer, and tragically many do not survive the illness.

Funds raised will help with research and to provide

support for families dealing with blood cancer following diagnosis.

Bishop Druitt College students and staff are also planning their own ‘Worlds Greatest Shave’ event for Friday March 26, with a goal of raising $10,000.

To sponsor either Jim or the team at BDC go to Shave for a Cure and search for their entry.

The woman contacted police and officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District commenced inquiries.

A short time later, officers observed the Audi being driven south on the Pacific Highway at Raleigh.

Police initiated a pursuit,

however terminated it a short time later due to safety concerns.

The driver is described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance, aged in his mid-30s, between 180cm-185cm tall, with an average build and short, black

hair.

He was last seen wearing a t-shirt with horizontal red, blue and white stripes, and black tracksuit pants.

Anyone who may be able to assist police with their inquiries is urged to contact police immediately.

The event will be COVID Safe compliant.

The necessary COVID safe event approval has come about with the cooperation and enthusiasm of Coffs

Elma celebrates her 105th q Elma Miller with the clock from John Laws.

By Andrew VIVIAN WOOLGOOLGA’s Elma Miller has recently celebrated her 105th year.

Elma Eyre was born in Sydney in 1916 and lived in various suburbs until WWII. She worked for underwear company Berlei for almost ten years before marrying William Miller and having three boys, Graham, Keith and Alan.

William served in the Australian Air Force during WWII so the family lived at Benalla in Victoria where he was stationed.

The family moved to a little house behind the golf course in Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains, where the boys used to collect golf balls and sell them back to the golfers.

The family moved to Oyster Bay in 1948 so the boys did not have to travel so far to school.

Elma spent much of her time knitting for others, particularly for babies.

She left Oyster Bay ten years ago to move to a retirement home in Woolgoolga.

Elma celebrated her 100th at the Woolgoolga Surf Club with 60 people.

Her wish was to feel her toes on the sand and to go in the water, which she did, with the assistance of club members, and repeated it

on the following three birthdays until COVID-19 prevented it last year.

Elma spoke to radio personality John Laws on her birthday and told him that she was

being well-cared for and that her best days were living in the Blue Mountains.

Mr Laws went on to send Elma a clock for her birthday.

Elma’s son Graham attributes

her longevity to the fact that she never drank tea, coffee or alcohol.

She is still in good health and can still move around with a walker, unaided.

Myanmar Media Ban Hits Home

By Sandra MOON

A FORMER photographic journalist for banned Myanmar news organisation ‘Mizzima’ says the ban was predictable but saddening.

Coffs Harbour resident Ms Aye Win told News Of The Area that ‘Mizzima’, her previous employer from 2003-2007, has been banned from news production by the military junta.

‘Mizzima’ news works across print, radio, television, Youtube and Facebook.

‘Mizzima’, which translates to impartial, is just one of a number of media organisations forced underground by the ban.

q Local resident Aye Win is a former photojournalist for ‘Mizzima’ news, which is now banned in Myanmar.

Ms Aye Win said, “It was predictable but the workers at

Mizzima are always prepared and are clever too so I am

happy they can still work.”

Her former colleagues

ALARMED by the massive gap between what is required to limit global temperature rise and actual climate change commitments by governments and financial institutions, BDC students and staff sent a clear message to world leaders and the wider public about the need for values-based, urgent action on climate change on Thursday 11 March.

March 11 has been named ‘Global day of Action - Humanity’s ‘Eleventh Hour’ to act on climate’ under the Sacred People Sacred Earth movement, seeking support from politicians to take serious action on climate change.

Students and staff stood in solidarity in our peaceful Assisi Garden ringing church bells and burning incense.

These religious rituals were to show they care about

the Sacred People, Sacred Earth global multi-faith action.

Rev Canon Naomi Cooke, Chaplain said, “The world’s

religions are called to care for the earth as given to us by God to safeguard.

“As a Chaplain, I am really proud to stand amidst the

next generation who care about our leaders making wise decisions for our world.”

Oliver Caesar, a BDC student said, “Today was

ABOUT 7.40pm on Thursday 11 March 2021, emergency services were called to the intersection of Opal Boulevard and the Pacific Highway at

Sapphire Beach, following reports a black Volkswagen Tiguan travelling west on Opal Boulevard, and a B-Double truck travelling south on the Pacific Highway, had collided.

Action on climate change

COFFS COASTNews COASTNews Of The Area stopped working on February 1 in anticipation of an impending ban.

Now they are still working remotely without disclosing their whereabouts.

“But it was really sad that they had to leave a big office in Rangoon (Yangon) where they were peacefully working before.

“Now they are running from elsewhere and hiding but still manage to broadcast the news.”

Their mission statement says, ‘Mizzima aims to provide high quality news on a variety of topics with hard news, features, investigative stories, etc. relating to Myanmar which is balanced, timely, and accurate for Burmese and international audiences.

Another student, Heather Nivison, said,” It is great to see our school show support for climate

‘By producing high quality news, Mizzima contributes to freedom of expression, opinion and the free flow of information in the public interest.’

At the time of printing one hundred and twenty six people have been killed by the junta and one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven people arrested for peacefully demonstrating.

Ms Aye Win fears they may not all be released alive.

She praised the Australian government’s recent action in cutting military ties with Myanmar.

Ms Aye Win added that the situation is dire and people really need support with not much food to buy in the market and with banks shut the money in people’s pockets is dwindling.

Serious crash north of Coffs Harbour The 69-year-old female passenger of the Tiguan was taken to Coffs Harbour Health Campus, before being airlifted to Royal Brisbane Hospital in a critical condition.

The 70-year-old male driver of the Tiguan was taken to Coffs Harbour Health Campus with serious injuries.

The driver of the truck – a 44-year-old man – was

uninjured and taken to Coffs Harbour Health Campus for mandatory testing.

A crime scene was established and an investigation launched by

Rights of Nature

By Sandra MOON BAALIJIN Earth Law Advocates (BELA) will host the Australian Premiere of documentary film Invisible Hand on the growing Rights of Nature movement worldwide.

Narrated by Actor Mark Ruffalo, Invisible Hand weaves together rights of nature actions across the US, including the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, North Dakota; and the adoption of Rights of Nature into Ecuador’s national constitution.

The Rights of Nature movement is growing worldwide.

Recognising the Rights of Nature in law, rejects the notion that nature is human property and legally recognises the rights of the natural world to exist, thrive and evolve.

Local distributor Mark Taylor spoke with News Of The Area about the film.

“The story is paradigm shifting, about the global movement to recognise that Nature has legal rights, much like a person, or a

corporation, and that it could be represented in the court of law.

“Imagine the Murray Darling River had legal recognition, and it could be represented in the high court of Australia, it may have saved its demise, along with the Murray Cod and many other species that will never again be seen in the sorts of numbers it was previously.

“The film follows the high profile cases in the US that were successful in protecting important natural areas from gas mining,” he said.

q A scene from Invisible Hand, which will premiere in Bellingen.

Hosts on the evening of the screening are BELA which formed in 2019 under the working title Bellingen Rights of Nature.

According to a BELA spokesperson, “Earth law is an emerging body of law that recognises the intrinsic value of all nature and the interconnectedness of all life on earth.

“Moving away from a human-centred approach to environmental management, earth laws seek placebased and whole-systems approaches to ecological justice and governance.

“BELA is currently exploring ways in which earth laws could be implemented in the Bellingen Shire.”

Mr Taylor said, “Australia in many ways is behind the eight ball in the Rights of Nature movement, however it is beginning to take hold, with organisations local and national who are taking great strides to bring the movement to the mainstream.

“The film's narrative feeds into the Climate Change movement, and introduces very progressive ideas around the growing paradigm of realisation that unless we give Nature legal rights, we will be facing a continuation of the degradation of the natural world, loss of species, and collapse of entire ecosystems.

“The film shows us the road map to how we can truly protect nature for our children and future generations to experience as we have,” Mr Taylor said.

Following on from International Women's Day, CHATS celebrates Coffs Coast women in theatre COFFS Harbour Amateur Theatrical Society (CHATS) returns to the stage on Friday 19 March with their production of ‘Steel Magnolias’, a story of love, courage and support amongst a small group of women in America’s midwest.

By David TUNE

SAWTELL Catholic Care (SCC) celebrated the launch of a partnership designed to provide specialist aged care nursing training that will address some of the issues raised by the recent Royal Commission into Aged Care report.

The partnership, referred to as the Nursing in Aged Care Collaborative (NACC), is with universities including Southern Cross Uni (SCU), University of Wollongong (UOW) and The University of NSW (UNSW) and a dozen other Aged Care providers that operate locally and nationally to support the development of a Gerontological Nursing Competencies (GNC)

program.

The competencies program will provide a pathway for Aged Care Nursing practitioners to enhance their skills and provide a pathway to improved service provision and career enhancements for Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses working in the sector.

Traynor from UOW has been involved as a project lead and described the competencies as having, “National focus and rollout and which has eleven core competencies delivered as part of five modules in a twelve-month program that will match the new standards for the industry.

“Completion of the competencies would also give nurses the equivalent of up to

six university credit points.”

In a written address delivered by Electorate Officer Liz Newberry, Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said, “The NACC features 15 member organisations that have made contributions to this program.

“This GNC program can be virtually rolled out nationally and will play a

vital role in the betterment of treatment for aged care residents, no matter at what level of access the service, while providing the RNs with professional, ongoing training and management of their individual portfolio of competency evidence.”

SCC CEO Michael Darragh said at the event, “The program has been two years in development and is now

ready for release at the most fortuitous time for aged care, a Government ready to implement change off the back of a Royal Commission Report into the aged care sector, a public willing for those changes to be introduced and an industry keen to modernise and look to the future.

“This is how we care for our community.”

Entry is free, and participants gain personal and professional development through an information session which is held on Saturday 24 April.

This session includes speakers, talking on topics such as public speaking, etiquette, giving girls a voice, skincare, community

involvement, young entrepreneur support and more.

The aim of the Showgirl competition is to educate entrants, aged between 12 and 24 years on these topics as well as information about Coffs Harbour, its history, politics and agriculture.

Girls then participate

in a light hearted interview to practice their interview skills and then practice their networking skills at the official reception.

GG Opens Community Garden in Toormina

By Sandra MOON

RESIDENTS in Toormina were delighted to have the Governor General attend the opening of their community garden by Mission Australia Housing (MAH).

Their Excellencies the Governor General David Hurley and Mrs Linda Hurley officially opened the latest community garden on Saturday 27 February, hailed

by MAH as their greatest yet.

A spokesperson from MAH said, “Despite the torrential downpour, the well attended event provided three generations of our tenants with the opportunity to tell their stories firsthand to their Excellencies and share their gardening and community aspirations while

making new friends.

“The tree planting ceremony had to be moved under cover and staged for future planting as the rain was so strong that hole we dug to plant the lemon tree completely filled with water.”

Jesse Taylor, Community Development Officer, Mid North Coast MAH, said the project has been greatly supported.

The community gardens consist of three raised wicking garden beds and was made possible through the Department of Community Justice funded Community Greening Program of the Royal Botanical Gardens of Sydney.

The project would not have been possible without the support of awesome

volunteers including the President of the Coffs Harbour Community Garden, Sarah Waleson from SCU’s Psychology Department, Richie Elliott from GeoLink, the Warrina Women’s Refuge, the First People’s Disability Network, the local Police, the Local Health District’s Health Promotion Team, the Coffs Harbour Music Society and Fresco Marketplace in Coffs Central who donated materials to build the garden beds and catered for the working bee and the official community gardening opening.

Mr Taylor told News Of The Area, “We are creating community development opportunities through community gardening through the Local Government Area and wherever MAH is delivering housing management and support.

“We are trying to improve

the lives of our tenants and the community they live in.

“It is a win for everyone involved,” he said.

“For a lot of tenants, community supported gardens reduce social isolation, build networks to support communities and develop a local sense of identity.

“It provides opportunities to supplement groceries, connect with residents and gives people something to look forward to.”

Mr Taylor said one of the tangible outcomes was a resident who had not known anyone in his street for twenty three years until last month when the gardens kicked off.

Both of Their Excellencies the Governor Generals are patrons of MAH and were on board for the launch and are supportive of the aims to build resilience in communities and connect with your neighbours while creating green spaces.

WA Premier a Coffs original

By Sandra MOON

DID you know that Mark McGowan the Premier of Western Australia has not only just won a landslide election victory but grew up in Coffs Harbour?

Mr McGowan who is Premier Minister for Public Sector Management; State Development, Jobs and Trade; Federal-State Relations attended Coffs Harbour High School and spent his formative years here before moving west.

Mr McGowan spoke with News Of The Area on his upbringing and how it has shaped him.

“I have some very fond memories of Coffs Harbour.

“I’ve always enjoyed living by the ocean which was a bonus because I went onto become a Navy lawyer and being on the ocean became ordinary life.

“My brother Mike and I both went to Coffs Harbour High School and because my mum was a teacher, growing up we always had a strong connection to the school community,” he said.

“I was always taught to try my hardest at everything I

did and now even as Premier when I visit students in schools across Western Australia, I share the same message.

“Do your best and never give up.”

Mr McGowan has moved but he has some very good reasons to return back to Coffs Harbour.

“My parents Mary and Dennis and brother Mike still live there and when I can, I

try to visit them but home for me is Western Australia and it has been for more than 30 years.

“I was lucky enough to have my parents and brother over from NSW to join me over the weekend for the election.

“It had been a long time since I last saw them because of the pandemic last year.

“My parents drove across the Nullabor a few weeks ago in their little caravan so they could be here to support me, and I am grateful for that.”

Mr McGowan’s biography on his official website leads with the values learnt from life on the Coffs Coast.

It reads, ‘Premier Mark McGowan believes in the value of hard work and merit but very much supported by the values of equality, opportunity and compassion.

‘He learned these values early, growing up in regional New South Wales, where his parents ran small businesses and educated their two sons at public schools.’

Back Past Square One For Koalas

By Andrew VIVIAN

KOALAS are moving closer to extinction in New South Wales, according to conservationists, because of the concessions to farmers resulting from a recent agreement between the NSW Liberals and Nationals.

According to the Greens, the new Koala SEPP just released by the Government is actually a win for the logging industry and a huge loss in the fight to save koalas from extinction in NSW. After tension about koala protection threatened to disrupt the Coalition parties last year, the Liberals have now struck a deal with the Nationals which will see rural land removed from the new State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPP) and come under a new code

that is yet to be developed.

Cate Faehrmann, Greens MP and environmental activist said, “The dummy spit by the National Party over the new Koala SEPP was never about farmers.

“It was always about appeasing the logging industry’s demands to be able to log koala habitat on private land.”

Ms Faehrmann said almost two thirds of the NSW koala population lives on private land.

“The key threat facing koalas is the ongoing loss of their habitat, yet this new SEPP won’t stop this loss,” she said.

A 2018 report by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment found that land clearing in NSW had increased by almost 40% in the previous eight years, with threequarters of this clearing ‘unexplained’.

Almost 40% of the land cleared

was for forestry.

According to Ms Faehrmann, “The forestry industry has won out in its quest to continue logging koala habitat on private land.”

She said the Government’s public promises that it will double koala numbers by 2050 are hollow, because it will not confront the logging industry.

Mayor of Bellingen Shire, Cr. Dominic King told News Of The Area there was supposed to be another inquiry into koala protection at the end of the month so the agreement was an unpleasant surprise.

Mayor King agrees with Ms Faehrmann that the agreement is not about protecting koalas but about farmers’ votes and logging quotas for large companies.

However, he suggests that farmers are probably more concerned with issues such as water and coal seam

Boaters urged to stay home WITH heavy rain and hazardous surf forecast from Friday into the start of the weekend, Marine Rescue NSW is urging boaters on the Mid North Coast to prepare their vessels now and delay going out on the water until conditions ease.

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos said boaters should prepare now before conditions deteriorate.

“Advice from the Bureau of Meteorology is that flooding

is expected to develop along coastal rivers including the Orara, Nambucca and Bellinger rivers,” he said.

“Boaters should secure their boats’ moorings and storm covers.

“You need to take all possible steps to prevent your boat from breaking free and being washed by floodwaters on to rocks, the shoreline or nearby boats.”

Commissioner Tannos said boaters should stay home rather than heading out on the water until the adverse

conditions abated.

“A Hazardous Surf Warning has been issued and will make coastal bars extremely hazardous, with conditions offshore becoming increasingly dangerous with heavy rain and poor visibility, increasing seas and swell and strong winds,” he said.

“Even if you are intending to stay in enclosed waters, flooding on coastal rivers and estuaries may result in strong currents and submerged and floating debris.

gas.

Cr King said, “If forestry was sustainable then there would be no need to go into previously untouched areas.” Conservationists say that, under the proposed guidelines, the landholder makes the assessment about whether, or not, endangered species are present and there is no follow up.

Cr King said that the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is stretched just monitoring state forests and other environmental issues.

“Regulations should be followed, but there’s nobody to check that large trees are left or that trees with hollows are untouched.”

He suggested that, at the very least, there should be dual consent between state and local government that involves assessments by qualified ecologists.

“Navigation markers also may become submerged, moved or damaged and channels and shoals may shift. Boat ramps and moorings may be submerged, affected by debris or damaged.

“In these conditions, staying at home is the safest option. It’s definitely not worth risking your life for a few fish.

“Once conditions ease and it is safe to head out again, boaters should be sure to always Log On and Log Off with Marine Rescue NSW on VHF Channel 16 or the Marine Rescue NSW App so our trained volunteers can keep watch for your safe return.”

Ms Faehrmann supports this view, questioning why several local government areas, including Coffs Harbour and southwards, have not had their draft Koala Plans of Management approved.

“This is also a huge kick in the guts for local councils with a lot of their powers to protect koala habitat taken away from them,” she said.

“Given their record to date, the Government cannot be trusted to strengthen the codes for land clearing and logging on private land in a way which genuinely protects koalas.”

Proponents of the Great Koala National Park are holding a ‘Save Our Koalas’ day of action at 10:30am, this Sunday, 21 March at Lavenders Bridge, Bellingen.

Supporters are asked to BYO breakfast, coffee, a rug to sit on and some signs to show their support.

Beachside Radiology Coffs Ocean Swim q

The annual Ocean Swim is back on at Coffs Jetty.

By Andrea FERRARI THE COFFS Harbour region’s annual Ocean Swim, locally known as Jetty Swim, takes place on March 28.

This year is the first year the event is being run

by Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club (SSLSC) since the move to Sydney by previous organisers since 2013, Village Sports.

It is now called the Beachside Radiology Coffs Ocean Swims to reflect the main sponsor’s involvement.

The organisers are continuing to partner with a range of local businesses and service clubs, many of which have supported the event over the years.

Coffs Harbour City Council is also providing funding support.

As with all such local sports events, there’s a hoard of volunteers rallying to ensure a fun and safe day.

Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club has provided water safety for the event for many years, so were well placed

to take on its management, ensuring it remains a fixture in the Coffs Coast events calendar.

The Coffs Ocean Swim has been running annually for 24 years, giving it the status of a staple in the local, state and national Ocean Swims calendar, and is an opportunity for all members of the community, and visitors to the community, to participate in a healthy activity in the safe and pristine waters of the iconic Coffs

Harbour Jetty Beach area.

“Surf Life Saving has a rich and colourful history that expands one hundred years of volunteer lifesavers keeping people safe at the beach.

“There are many roles that encompass surf clubs including life saving operations, training and assessing and sports. “Ocean swimming is an integral part of that.

“This event is the only

organised ocean swimming event on the Coffs Coast.

“The closest comparable Ocean Swim events are at Yamba to the north and South West Rocks to the south,” said Yvonne Briggs, a member of the SSLSC who swims every day along Sawtell beach with the 9am swim group.

Continuing a long association with The Armidale School (TAS), around 100 TAS students

have entered across different swim distances.

Open to all ages and abilities there are categories for the fun swimmer through to competitive swimmers and Personal Best (PB) hopefuls.

At time of going to press there are some 400 entries with another 200 swim caps looking for heads.

The event consists of the following swim distances: • 600m Jetty Swim - Ages 10 and over.

• 150m Junior Swim - Ages 8-10 years.

• 300m Junior Ocean Swim - Ages 11-14 years.

• 2km Ocean Swim - Ages 14 and over.

BUILDONIX Revolution

By Sandra MOON

THE BUILDONIX Building System, launched this week, is tipped to transform the building industry.

The Coffs Harbour based business launching the system has recently benefited from a recent Federal Government funding boost.

The building system has been described by Pat Conaghan, Member for Cowper as, “New technology that will fundamentally change the global industry and provide unparalleled advantages across residential and commercial construction sectors.”

Stonelake Pty Ltd unveiled the “Buildonix® Building System” on March 11 and Mr Conaghan says the company is well-placed to advance Australia’s manufacturing and construction productivity and efficiency, reducing energy consumption at all levels, and helping to create an environmentally sustainable future.

“The Federal Government invested $338,216 in the job-boosting infrastructure which will provide long term benefits to the Coffs Harbour and Mid-North Coast regions,” he said.

So what is it?

Mr Congahan explains.

“A key benefit of this investment is that the “Buildonix® Building System” operates on a single digital platform which utilises precision manufactured components.

“This simplifies and streamlines the delivery of a project from design, to manufacture, assembly and ongoing quality assurance for all Buildonix® structures.

“This allows structures to be assembled, disassembled, altered, expanded and reassembled with ease,

embodying the principles of the circular economy,” he said.

“The unique ability of Buildonix® is that structures can be assembled quickly and safely by hand, either in factory or on-site, significantly improving efficiency and speed of assembly, as well as reducing manufacturing waste and removing on-site

waste.”

Buildonix can be used in both residential and commercial projects of any size and allows for great economies of scale that can increase Australia’s construction productivity on a global scale, creating major export opportunities and jobs within Australia.

Stonelake Pty Ltd Managing Director Maurice Lake said the establishment of a prototype, advanced manufacturing facility enabled the company to commercialise its patented cost effective building and façade manufacturing systems known as “Buildonix®”.

“Our office prototype which was recently launched has

revitalisation following the grant of $20 million to fasttrack the works last year.

Civil infrastructure construction is planned to start in mid-2021, subject to approvals.

Following a recent expression of interest campaign, the NSW Government has also shortlisted regional NSW-based architects to pitch their design for the public domain works.

A Design Review Panel will assist with the selection of a preferred architect.

Mr Singh said, “We are impressed with the calibre of architects and look forward to the successful architect joining the team and working

with the community as we prepare to shape and deliver a thriving new waterfront precinct for Coffs Harbour.”

Committee member, Ann Leonard, told News Of The Area, “Understandably this community is incredibly passionate about the foreshore because it is an amazing asset which, if dealt with sensitively, will continue to offer both locals and visitors an inspiring connection to our beautiful coastline and hinterland for generations to come.

“I would encourage anyone who has an interest in this project to connect and engage with the community representatives on the Project Advisory Steering Committee to ensure they are able to represent the hopes and aspirations you hold for the Jetty Foreshore.”

Jetty Foreshore Consultation To Begin Soon

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the NSW Government is on track to begin broader community consultation on a proposed vision for the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore precinct by mid-year.

Mr Singh said, “Since last October, the NSW Government has been working closely with the Project Advisory Steering Committee, comprising local community members and stakeholders, and its technical consultants, to develop a proposed vision for the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore area.”

Coffs Harbour residents will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed vision, and foreshore identity, in a number of ways, which may include community information days, online surveys and drop-in sessions.

In the meantime, the NSW Government is planning for civil infrastructure and public domain upgrades for the precinct’s

dimensions of 6.0m by 3.0m and was completed in under 3 days by two people,” said Mr Lake.

“Using our system, ordinary construction times are dramatically minimised.

“All stages of the assembly of a structure are streamlined and simple, meaning that it can be completed far quicker when compared against traditional building methods,” he said.

“We anticipate that our assembly times will reduce current build times by between 65% and 75% at least.”

Mr Lake added, “The Federal Government funding was used to purchase and commission new advanced manufacturing equipment, reconfigure the company’s existing factory, establish a small-scale manufacturing operation, and produce a prototype office unit – “Buildonix® Office Space” - for demonstration purposes.”

The Federal Government contributed $338,216 to the project under the $222.3 million Regional Jobs and Investment Packages (RJIP) program while Stonelake Pty Ltd contributed $397,826. the committee are Cr Paul Amos (CHCC Councillor), Ann Leonard (Community Representative), Clark Webb (Aboriginal Community and Tourism), Cr George Cecato (CHCC Councillor), Catherine Fowler (Community Representative), Warren Skinner (Community Representative), Bob St John (Fisherman's Coop), Steve Gooley (PBP & Jetty Village), John Wait (Yacht Club), Marcus Blackwell (Local Business Owner) and Ray Smith (Chamber of Commerce).

Council to investigate heating Olympic Pool

By Emma DARBIN

INSTALLATION of a pool heating system at Coffs Harbour War Memorial Olympic Pool is being investigated by Coffs Harbour City Council, following discussion on the matter at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Denise Knight and Deputy Mayor Cr George Cecato moved a Notice of Motion at the meeting for Council to provide a report outlining the cost of installing the most cost effective pool heating system for the outdoor 50 metre pool at Coffs Harbour War Memorial Olympic Pool, and the total lifecycle costs associated with the system, including renewable energy.

“Providing year round swimming facilities not only benefits our ageing community but our swimming clubs,” Cr Knight and Cr Cecato said.

“A number of neighbouring Local Government Authorities have recently, or are in the process of, heating their outdoor pools.”

Daniel Bannerman, who recently won the tender to operate professional coaching services out of the pool, spoke in support of the

pool’s heating at the recent Council meeting.

“Over the last ten weeks operating from the facility it's been brought to my attention that it’s very well utilised from the community,” Mr Bannerman said.

“Observing the indoor and outdoor pool of a morning and afternoon, it is quite full, and I have got concerns going forward with the winter-time program, being able to fit in all the squad participants, Learn to Swim, all the clients of the Olympic Pool.”

Mr Bannerman said Port Macquarie, Macksville, Kempsey and Ballina swimming pools had all recently been heated.

“We do have the biggest swimming club on the Mid North Coast, from Tweed Heads to Newcastle with over 180 swimmers,” Mr Bannerman said.

Mr Bannerman said local schools would be able to utilise the pool over winter if it was heated for their Swim Survival programs.

“It’s just trying to utilise the most pool space as possible all year round,” he said.

Mr Bannerman said he had received a quotation for

heating the pool over winter for $180,000 to $200,000 to install the pool heating, with a running cost of $45,000 ongoing.

Steph Campbell, a local mother whose children utilise the pool, also spoke in favour of the pool’s heating and expressed her concerns over how the pool would accommodate all of its current users over winter.

“With Woopi and Sawtell pools closing during winter, I’m not quite sure how

everyone’s going to fit,” Ms Campbell said.

“As a health professional, I’m aware of the benefits of aquafitness, we don’t have that kind of thing at the hospital at the moment.

“I just feel strongly that a community this big; we should have some facilities throughout the whole year.”

Ms Campbell also called on Council to ensure any future heating of the pool was undertaken sustainably through the use of solar

panels etc.

Cr Sally Townley questioned whether users of the Olympic swimming pool may be interested in paying higher entry fees to help fund heating of the pool.

“I certainly wouldn’t mind, I think most people, if it was just a small increase, for such a great facility I don’t think it would be a problem,” Ms Campbell replied.

Cr Cecato said he would like to see a Council report undertaken on the matter.

“I would like to see how much would it cost us to run a heated pool, and hopefully we can support this very vibrant swimming community into using more of our facility,” Cr Cecato said.

The motion for Council to provide a report on the cost of installation of a cost effective heating system for the outdoor 50 metre pool and the lifecycle costs associated with the system was carried unanimously by all councillors.

Council seeking protective covenant on Museum q A protective covenant for Coffs Harbour Museum is being sought by Coffs Harbour City Council to protect the building’s historical significance to the region. Photo: Emma Darbin.

By Emma DARBIN

THE placement of a protective covenant on Coffs Harbour Museum is being sought by Coffs Harbour City Council to protect the building’s heritage and historic value.

Cr Sally Townley gave a Notice Of Motion at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March to move that Council seek a covenant on the current Museum building in Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour to protect its heritage and historic values.

“The current Museum building has considerable historic and heritage value,” Cr Townley said.

“It already has some level of protection under the heritage provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, however a further covenant would assist Council’s objective of preservation of the building, regardless of ownership.”

Providing further protection of the local heritage significance for the former police station and courthouse was raised during consideration of the sale of Coffs Harbour Museum at Council’s meeting on 25 February this year.

The building is listed as a ‘heritage item’ in the Coffs Harbour LEP 2013.

“This listing provides an additional layer to the merit based assessment for a development application that impacts the building’s heritage significance and the development application would be subject to Council’s development

assessment processes, taking the building’s heritage significance into consideration,” a Council report stated.

“Also, a Conservation Management Strategy is attached to the property, through a previous development application, and remains applicable regardless of ownership of the property.

“A covenant under the Conveyancing Act 1919 to place a restriction on the building will further strengthen the heritage protection.”

Cr Townley said adding a further form of protection over the historic building “will never go astray”.

“Having a covenant under the Conveyancing Act is just another instrument on top of the existing listing that will just further add a

protective layer to make sure that the historic and heritage values of that building will be required to be kept there,” Cr Townley said.

“I think we’re all united in the feeling that this building carries a lot of significance to this community, and so I guess that’s what I’m trying to capture, the importance of that.”

Cr Keith Rhoades was amazed that Cr Townley was making this Notice Of Motion to protect the Museum, when a fortnight ago she was voting to sell the building into private hands.

“Only two weeks ago to this day in our last ordinary meeting the councillor moving this was the mover of the one to sell it off, take the money and run,” Cr Rhoades stated in disbelief.

“And I thought, ‘wow she has sat back and done some thinking about this and came

back with the right answer because at the last meeting we saved it for our local heritage and for future use within our local government area.”

Cr Rhoades mentioned possible future uses for the historic building, including as a restaurant “I also mentioned at that meeting that there’s various uses it can be used for,” Cr Rhoades said.

“I’ve had a lot of feedback from community members on just what we lack in this town.”

Cr Rhoades then presented the possibility of turning the Coffs Harbour Museum into ‘The Courthouse Restaurant’.

“So let’s not make sure the restrictions aren’t too heavy on it that it can’t be used for anything,” Cr Rhoades said.

“But there's a myriad of opportunities out there that it can be used for.”

Mayor Denise Knight stated, “I even have a gavel I could take to The Courthouse Restaurant.”

Cr Paul Amos supported the additional protective covenant for the Museum, and called on Council to also consider protecting the current Council Chambers building for prosperity as well.

“I also make another point that there is another timeless building and really unique example of what was done in 1970, and that is this building,” Cr Amos said.

“We’ve got to consider this building as being protected for prosperity too.”

Cr Micheal Adendorff was the only councillor opposed to Council seeking a further protective covenant for the Museum and said “we’re wasting our time”.

Council’s general manager Steve McGrath said Council

would probably need to seek legal advice on how to achieve the protective covenant in the most effective way.

Councillors voted for Council to seek a covenant under the Conveyancing Act 1919 to place a protective restriction on the current Museum building on Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour, in order to protect its heritage and historic values, and for a draft covenant and accompanying legal input to come back to Council for final consideration.

Crs Denise Knight, Paul Amos, George Cecato, Keith Rhoades, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voted for the protective restriction on the Museum building, and Cr Michael Adendorff voted against it.

Cr John Arkan was absent from the recent Council meeting.

members of the public to attend meetings in person, subject to current Public Health Orders and social distancing requirements.

As of 12 February, the number of persons permitted to attend council and committee meetings in addition to councillors and staff under the Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order 2021 increased.

Up to 25 people may now attend meetings.

Councils can permit more than 25 people to attend meetings, provided

the size of the meeting venue is sufficient to ensure there is at least two square metres of space for each person at the meeting venue.

Councillors and council staff are not counted when calculating the space available for each person at the meeting venue, and the number of people who are attending the meeting.

“If current health order restrictions are still in place, tickets will be issued via Eventbrite; these will be single tickets only and on a first booked, first

obtained basis,” a Council spokesperson stated.

Council must continue to ensure appropriate social distancing is practiced at meetings.

Due to the pandemic and NSW Government public health restrictions, the last public gallery was held on 26 March 2020.

Coffs Harbour City Council’s ordinary meetings will continue to be livestreamed fortnightly via the Vimeo video streaming platform, to allow members of the public to watch the proceedings from home.

Silver Medal for Critters Distillery

By Andrew VIVIAN

WOOLGOOLGA’S Critters Distillery have been awarded a Silver medal for Australia in the World Vodka Awards 2021 for their Original Vodka.

Chris Fraser has been brewing and distilling since his university days, and, with his wife Nicola, opened Critters Distillery in 2020.

Critters brews vodka

using sugar from the Harwood Sugar Mill and single-origin, small batch wheat from the Riverina.

All components of producing the vodka are Australian, except for the bottle, which was made in France, and the stills, which cannot be sourced in Australia.

Even the label on the bottle was produced by

Telecommunications tower approved for Stadium Drive

THE installation of an Optus telecommunications tower at Advocate Park, Coffs Harbour to service Coffs Harbour Education Campus (CHEC) and surrounding schools has been narrowly approved by Coffs Harbour City councillors.

A development application for the telecommunications facility was originally presented to Coffs Harbour City Council for determination at a Council meeting on 22 October, 2020.

Concern was raised at the meeting over whether the tower would be situated too close to local schools, and whether educational institutions in the surrounding area were aware of the proposed telecommunications facility.

At this meeting, determination of the development application was deferred to allow for further engagement with adjoining landowners and the proponent regarding adherence to the relevant industry code of conduct.

The tower includes a 25m monopole, with three aerials on top, and exceeds Council’s Height of Buildings control of the Coffs Harbour LEP 2013.

It will be situated on Council owned land on the southeast corner of Hogbin Drive and Stadium Drive, opposite CHEC, and will primarily provide coverage to CHEC, as there are currently no local base stations servicing the area effectively.

Axicom Pty Ltd site acquisition manager Emma Browning spoke in support of the new telecommunications tower at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March.

“The new telecommunications facility is intended to specifically provide improved Optus coverage and network capacity for the Coffs Harbour Education Campus,” Ms Browning said.

“Optus cannot service the campus from existing base stations in the area and requires a new base station to service the campus.

“The new facility will also future proof mobile services for the new residential development areas.”

Ms Browning said the height of the tower was required for “technical reasons”.

“Our proposal is broadly compliant with Council planning requirements, except that it exceeds the

a local graphic designer who also designed Critters’ website.

Chris said he could have sourced Critters’ printing much more cheaply overseas but has kept it local.

Critters vodka is a “sipping vodka”, and with ”hints” of grapefruit, citrus, dark plum, pepper and, sometimes, star anise, it is to be enjoyed on its own, and not to be adulterated with tonic water or anything else.

Chris said the United States and the European

height limits for this area,” Ms Browning said.

“The height of the facility will not have an adverse impact on the local area.

“Because the facility will operate at very low power there is no requirement for the facility to be located away from local schools.”

Cr George Cecato supported the position of the new telecommunications tower and said he “would not contemplate sacrificing those young lives” by not providing them with the communication they deserve.

Cr Keith Rhoades also supported the new telecommunications tower.

“We still have black spots, and that’s one of them,” Cr Rhoades said.

“What goes into that Education Campus is hightech stuff, and you need good communication.

“I can’t see any reason why this should be rejected; it’s a positive.”

Cr Paul Amos, however, believed the tower should be located at CHEC. “I can’t be supporting this in this instance because I believe that the CHEC would be the major beneficiary, and I struggle to come to terms with the concept that they can’t find something on their own premises,” Cr Amos said.

“Also the visual pollution, nowadays we can be a little more sophisticated.

Union require vodka to be odourless and tasteless, so it is carbon filtered.

Australian distillers do not have this restriction, so distillers are able to produce more flavoursome vodkas.

Critters’ vodka is distilled in custom-made equipment which allows for better contact with yeast during the fermentation process, and botanicals (which supply the flavour) are carefully chosen.

Local and native botanicals give the vodka its unique flavours.

Chris said, “We use as

many native botanicals as possible.”

The process is also as sustainable as possible, with waste water stored in tanks to be collected by a local farmer and grain waste going to a free range poultry farm.

Critters started setting up in January last year, but, because of COVID-19, the first 14 batches were used for hand sanitiser.

Chris said that the craft distilling community in Australia is close knit and helps each other, meaning businesses freely swapped

hand sanitiser recipes.

Critters vodka was officially launched last September.

It is available at the cellar door and in local bottle shops, but most sales are online.

There are plans to release a gin soon, which will be made from vodka flavoured with 51% juniper and local and native botanicals.

Visitors can book online for tours and tastings every Saturday and Sunday, during which vodka is tasted with Australian cheeses, meats, smoked salmon and jams. q A 25m high Optus telecommunications tower will be installed opposite Coffs Harbour Education Campus to provide better communication services to the educational facility.

“This is more of a clumsy solution nowadays to a problem in the middle of suburbia.”

Cr Tegan Swan said the development application wasn’t compliant with industry guidelines, due to it being located too close to local schools.

“In all reality I think as a Council and a community we need to say ‘there’s these guidelines that are required of you and you have an expectation that you

media@newsofthearea.com.au

will meet them regardless of whether you’re legally required to or not’,” Cr Swan said.

“I would like to see us follow those best practice guidelines and require more of the industry, because they will rise to the challenge.”

Councillors narrowly resolved to support the request to vary a development standard of the Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 for the variation to Height of Buildings

standard, and approve the development application for a telecommunications facility at Advocate Park, Stadium Drive, Coffs Harbour.

Crs Denise Knight, Michael Adendorff, George Cecato and Keith Rhoades voted for the new telecommunications tower, and Crs Paul Amos, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voted against it.

Cr John Arkan was absent from the recent Council meeting.

Retired international lawyer publishes crime thriller

By David TUNE

JOHN Rosley has spent over 35 years practising as a highly successful solicitor, dealing in a range of legal areas including international family law matters.

Returning to Australia from the UK some nine years ago he chose to live on the Coffs Coast, setting up a small practice in mediation.

However, John felt that it was time to explore some creative activities that he had not had time for in the past and joined a creative writing class with the local University of the Third Age (U3A) where he rediscovered a love of Shakespeare and began writing short stories.

Encouraged by the feedback he q was receiving for these

quirky and fun pieces, he decided to set to work on something more substantial and created his first novel ‘The Watson Conundrum’, a crime thriller that draws on his international legal knowledge and experiences with diverse characters from around the world.

John said of the work, “I have always liked the idea of writing, but I never thought I had a novel in me.”

The book is described on Amazon as a crime thriller offering an insight into the world of mercenaries who are used like pawns on a chessboard by their Mafia bosses who will never see the inside of a prison cell.

John has also compiled his short stories and published them as ‘Tales of Murder Mayhem and Mischief: From Australia and Beyond’ which is also available on Amazon.

‘The Watson Conundrum’ should be available through the library and also through Coffs Harbour Book Warehouse.

Trafalgar Street Dev. App. on hold

By Emma DARBIN

AFTER lengthy debate and listening to three public speakers, Coffs Harbour City councillors have voted to defer making a decision on a controversial six-storey development in Trafalgar Street, Woolgoolga, until Council seeks legal advice on the development.

The development currently contravenes the Coffs Harbour LEP 2013 and the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan, which was adopted by Coffs Harbour City Council on February 26 and contains reduced building height limits.

Council received 480 public submissions on the development, following public exhibition of the development application.

Ray Willing spoke on behalf of the Northern Beaches Residents Association (NBRA) against a Council staff recommendation to approve the Trafalgar Street development at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March.

Mr Willing said the passionate local community group had gone as far as hiring a lawyer to help the group fight the development.

“We’ve been heavily involved for years in the Woopi Masterplan and we’ve been trusting Council in relation to protecting that masterplan for many years,” Mr Willing said.

Mr Willing and the NBRA strongly recommended councillors reject the recommendation for approval made by Council staff in a Council report, and reject the development application.

“There are numerous other technical matters in relation to the DA, which are grounds for rejection,” Mr

Willing said.

Woolgoolga resident Philip O’Sullivan also spoke against Council staff’s approval of the Trafalgar Street development at the meeting.

“My property and neighbours will be severely impacted by this development,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“When I bought the property ten years ago I accepted the eventual loss of views, but nobody can accept the ridiculous height, scale and design of this proposed development.

“The land in question is a standard quarter acre block, and the developer wants to build a skyscraper on it.”

Jason McCarthy spoke for the Trafalgar Street development at the Council meeting on behalf of the developer, and stated that the development was not a ‘highrise building’.

“I’m used to hearing such exaggerations and comments that are just over the top,” Mr McCarthy said.

“What this is is a residential building containing eight apartments.”

Mr McCarthy said the building was designed to be fully compliant with the Coffs Harbour LEP and the DCP at the time the development application was lodged.

“Obviously, in very recent times that has changed,” Mr McCarthy said “They’ve (my clients) spent a lot of money to get the project to this point, and to find out a year later that the rules have changed and potentially the goal posts could be moved, I just feel that it would be a pretty unfair deal in my view.

“My clients have said for me to pursue this design.”

Cr Tegan Swan questioned to what extent the developer would be willing to alter the development to align with the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan.

Mr McCarthy said the development could possibly be reduced in height, however

q Approval of this controversial six-storey development in Trafalgar Street, Woolgoolga has been deferred until Coffs Harbour City Council seeks legal advice. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council. if the height was decreased the building may not be able to accommodate a lift.

“What that means is the upper level apartments become unusable for a lot of people when they get older, and I think that’s the biggest concern for me about the change of the LEP in recent times,” Mr McCarthy said.

“It would mean the older community won’t be able to live in as many places closer to the business district of Beach St.”

Council debated for some time over whether to assess the development under the

former Coffs Harbour LEP or the current LEP. “Where do we stand in relation to the development application being submitted in the rule book,” Cr Keith Rhoades asked of Council.

“On the 26th of last month we had a change in the situation, where the eventual adopting of the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan came into effect.

“Before I can vote on this, I would like to know first does Council expose itself in relation to a blanket refusal here and now without first investigating what position we will be in.”

Cr Michael Adendorff also questioned the legal standing of Council in regards to its assessment of the development.

“This is a very very interesting series of events, which to me goes to the core of what local democracy is about,” Cr Adendorff said.

“The legal question is whether or not the assessment must be made with reference to the laws which stood when the application was made, or by reference to the law which stood when the application was determined.

“I would like to know what the relevant law is; I think the relevant law might be slightly

grey.”

Cr Sally Townley called on her fellow councillors to reject the development application outright.

“This is a complicated situation and we have had some late breaking news, but what we already did know was that this development does not meet the requirements of SEPP 65, which is the design quality of residential apartment development,” Cr Townley stated.

“That’s a planning policy that’s set by the State Government.

“This particular development in its current form is inconsistent with SEPP 65, and it’s also inconsistent with our DCP in terms of setback requirements.”

Cr Tegan Swan also called on councillors to refuse the development.

“Before the proposal even went in they (the developer) were aware of the (Woolgoolga Town Centre) Masterplan and still chose not to at least make some effort to come into alignment with it,” Cr Swan said.

“There’s no willingness to compromise to community sentiment or expectations, and that’s not really a precedent I want us to set in Woolgoolga or across the LGA. “If you’re going to all this trouble in creating these documents, then I think that we should be able to honour that and make sure that new developments are in line with that.”

Cr Paul Amos agreed that Council should reject the

development application.

“The way I look at it is, there is a breach on the setbacks regardless of whether we are going to be assessing on the old Woolgoolga height controls,” Cr Amos said.

“The height controls are somewhat irrelevant for me at this point in time because the setbacks I’ve been told will not vary between the two.

“I would be prepared to reject that (the development) on the basis of the setbacks.”

Following lengthy discussion on the matter, Council voted to defer the development application to demolish the existing dwelling and construct a residential flat building (8 units) and subdivision (strata) at 34 Trafalgar Street, Woolgoolga, and for Council to provide a report outlining the position both legal and from a planning perspective, taking into consideration the recently adopted and gazetted Coffs Harbour LEP 2013 (Amendment No. 24).

Crs Denise Knight, Micheal Adendorff, George Cecato and Keith Rhoades voted for deferring the development application, and Crs Paul Amos, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voted against.

Cr John Arkan was absent from the recent Council meeting.

A Council report on the matter is expected to be presented at Council’s ordinary meeting next month on Thursday 22 April.

High School phone-free

By Emma DARBIN AN innovative phone pouch program which locks students mobile phones during the school day to allow students to focus more fully on their school learning and relearn how to socialise with their peers face to face has been implemented at Woolgoolga High School.

The Yondr Pouch Program was introduced into the school in February.

The program was implemented at Grafton High School, South Grafton High School and Toormina High School last year, and Maclean High School is implementing the program this month.

Woolgoolga High School relieving principal Lu Nickell was behind implementing the new phone pouch system and said she had been encouraged by the effects of the system in other learning institutions, following a visit to Grafton High School last year to see the introduction of the system there.

“Even though mobile phones have some positives, we have found that learning and social behaviour improve drastically when students are fully engaged with their teachers and classmates,” Ms Nickell said.

A survey of 900 schools which implement the program to create phone-free educational environments found 65% of the schools saw an improvement in academic performance, 74% saw an improvement in student behaviour, and 83% saw an improvement in student engagement in the classroom.

and onstage entertainment on the day will be tailored to appeal to and showcase a senior’s audience.

Activities presented on the day include: • Ukulele workshop and performance with Stephanie Sims Uko Ono • Fashion Parade and Best Dressed Parade • Seniors Open Mic Performance – Performers can book in the day between 9:30 and 10am • Senior Pamper Tent with free hand massages • Free Chair Exercises - just join in The event is wheelchair and walker friendly.

Extra shade will be provided please bring your own chairs to enjoy the day.

The Yondr Program employs a simple, lockable pouch that stores a mobile phone.

All school students at Woolgoolga High School have been issued with a Yondr pouch, which they bring to school every day and secure their phone in when they arrive at school in the morning.

Students maintain possession of their phone throughout the school day, but are unable to unlock the Yondr phone pouch until the end of the school day at various unlocking stations positioned around the school.

School parents now contact the school office to send a message to their child, instead of messaging them or phoning them on their mobile phone.

Woolgoolga High School relieving deputy principal Kath Bear said phone use in class by students prior to the implementation of the new program had been a “significant” problem.

“Most classes, most days, it was often a point of argument between the teachers and student resulting in lost teaching and learning time due to student inability to self regulate their phone behaviours,” Ms Bear said.

Ms Bear said the implementation of the program at Woolgoolga High School has gone “very well”.

“Most students have responded very favourably, and many have simply decided to leave their phone at home,” Ms Bear said.

“Engagement in the classroom and the playground has improved significantly.”

A senior Year 11 student of the school stated, “In Home Group we all played trivia, in the past some students just wouldn’t get involved, it’s great now we all interact.”

Creative minds of Students THE Green Innovation Awards, a community based environmental competition which has been capturing the hearts and creative minds of students across the Northern Rivers for the last four years is expanding to reach Coffs Harbour and Mid North Coast schools for the very first time.

The competition provides teachers with a unique opportunity to engage their high school and primary school students in green innovation.

Designed to fit into the school curriculum, it empowers students to tap into their imagination and invent, develop and present innovative solutions for greener living.

Founder and local Chiropractor, Dr Bridie Cullinane is excited to be bringing Gold Coast schools together with the wider community for positive change.

“It’s important that we come together as a community, inspire creativity in our students and generate the ideas that are the seeds to innovative solutions.

“Young people see endless possibilities, their vivid imaginations can solve every problem and with a little bit of encouragement from their teachers it’s incredible to witness what

media@newsofthearea.com.au

unfolds,” Dr Bridie said.

To give you a taste of the incredibly fresh and innovative ideas that have flowed from students across the Northern Rivers in previous years, high school students at St Marys College bred crickets as a sustainable food source and primary school students at Dunoon Public School created Australia’s very first spray safe app.

Empire Vale Primary School teacher, Ms Karen Rantissi, who has been involved with the Green Innovation Awards since it began, highlighted how inspired her students were by the variety of innovative projects from each school. Being involved in the Awards has clearly had a lasting impression on Ms Rantissis’ students who built the first frog hotel in the Northern Rivers and checked in 15 green tree frogs.

Ms Rantissi went on to praise the Green Innovation Awards as a way to really engage students with the real world issues they are facing in a way that positively focusses them on finding new solutions.

"It’s really important that students feel that their concerns for the environment are being heard and that people in positions of leadership and influence are interested in their solutions.”

The Green Innovation Awards has caught the attention of local and state politicians, innovative business leaders and celebrities including Costa The Garden Gnome and multi-award winning and internationally acclaimed photographer, Craig Perry who have taken their time to listen to and encourage the student’s ideas.

Southern Cross University, major sponsors of the Green Innovation Awards have offered to further support teachers and students this year by holding an Enterprise Lab Day in Week 7 of Term 2.

Experts from local entrepreneurial groups, Southern Cross University experts and industry-leading research staff will be on hand to workshop students green innovation ideas.

White Bluff Delay

By Sandra MOON

THE White Bluff Project, an exhibition that was due

to open this week has been delayed due to flood water in the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery.

The exhibition features creative works inspired by White Bluff that intersect art, science and history.

The project has been a three year collaboration and was born out of a discussion between artists Ray Rixon and Sarah Mufford.

Mr Rixon has taken inspiration from White Bluff for over 40 years.

NRL is back

By David WIGLEY RUGBY League is ramping up on the Coffs Coast as tickets for the highly anticipated NRL Premiership match between the Gold Coast Titans and the Cronulla Sharks at C.ex International Stadium went on sale last week.

It’s music to the ears of the NRL community who were hit hard last year after the cancellation of the senior competition but judging from the buoyant atmosphere at last week’s trial game between the Coffs Comets and Port Macquarie the 2021 season is looking promising.

Reserve coach for the Coffs Comets Miles Fairbank is excited to see the national game come to town.

“After last year’s Group 2 cancellation League is bouncing back in 2021 and everyone’s fired up, a match of this magnitude is a big

boost not just for the sport but the whole region.”

Billy Griffiths who plays on the wing for the representative North Coast Bulldogs team said, “The lads have been looking forward to this for a while, there’s going to be a great atmosphere.

“You appreciate the physicality of the sport when you watch the game live, you hear the hits on the tackles, the physicality and above all the speed of the game, it’s so fast at this level, they are incredible athletes,” said Griffiths.

But it’s not just NRL fans who will be welcoming the inaugural Premiership match at C.ex Stadium as local soccer captain Lewis Pietrini explains.

“Even though we play soccer we won’t be missing this, the whole family is looking forward to it, having matches like this on your

White Bluff is located just north of Coffs Harbour at Sapphire and is protected by the Solitary Islands Marine Reserve and its bushland cared for by Sapphire Reserve Landcare with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Both artists led the project to creatively respond to the unique site.

The White Bluff Project has brought together local visual artists, filmmakers, an historian, a poet, a musician, ecologists, a marine scientist, traditional knowledge holders and community stakeholders.

Over the past three years the group has collaborated on research, field trips and workshops, to weave their varied disciplines and experiences into final artworks. In the same way that White Bluff is a weaving of varied ecosystems and histories.

Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung artist Tori Donnelly recalls a boat trip early in the project to Split Solitary Island and the waters

off White Bluff.

“You’d have one person sharing the geological history of White bluff and another person jumping in with information about why there is such an abundance of marine life where the two oceans meet,” she said.

“Incredibly so much of the science resonated with Gumbaynggirr stories I’ve been told,” said Ms Donnelly who hopes people seeing the exhibition will be inspired to find their own ways to connect meaningfully to country.

“It would be great if they take in the process of what we’ve tried to interpret and turn into art, and go out there to connect to country themselves,” she said.

“You don’t have to be an artist or a scientist to go out and look at rock closely, touch a banksia tree or observe what’s in a rock pool, but if you do want to get creative let yourself be inspired.”

Keep posted for further information about new dates for the exhibition.

With the improvements to the Pacific Highway making accessibility to NRL matches

What is a “Pest”?

WHAT is a “Pest”?

Ronald is charged by the RSPCA with serious animal cruelty under the Crimes Act, alleging that he committed a serious act of cruelty upon a dog, with the intention of inflicting severe pain and that he seriously injured and killed the animal.

Ronald appealed his conviction by the Local Court arguing that he had a valid defence because the dog was a “pest animal” and that his conduct amounted to nothing more than “extermination of pest animals”.

The Court of appeal accepted that the dog was a “pest animal” because it was threatening, attacking and injuring livestock and accordingly upheld Ronald’s appeal.

The RSPCA appealed to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court finds that an intention of inflicting severe pain requires an intention to bring about that result as opposed to an intention which may only have the consequence of causing severe pain.

However, the Court finds that Ronald’s conduct did not engage the defence of “extermination of pest animals” because the Companion Animals Act requires that a dog be destroyed “in a manner that causes it to die quickly and without unnecessary suffering”.

The Court also held that a single act of damage on the part of an individual animal is insufficient to constitute an animal as a “pest” and that such a finding required a propensity or disposition to cause damage to persons, animals, property or crops.

Ultimately, the Court ruled that the elements of the offence were not established and that it was not just for the conviction to stand.

The case raises interesting moral questions regarding society’s labelling of particular animals and why it is acceptable to “exterminate” some animals but not others and why “causing severe pain” to animals is seen to be justified in certain circumstances.

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help. Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of media@newsofthearea.com.au and include your name and suburb.

DEAR Jasminda,

Democracy for the people DEAR News Of the Area DR Jan Strom (Coffs Coast NOTA, March 12 Edition) correctly reminded us of our democratic government's virtues quoting the letter of the law on our Mayors right to exercise a casting vote.

On balance, please consider the spirit of the law, as practised by international convention.

At times the law runs contrary to common sense.

Dickens wrote two centuries ago, "The law is an ass."

A Chairperson's right to exercise the casting vote is not mandatory it is discretionary.

By international convention the exercise of this privileged second vote rests heavily on the Chairperson's conscience.

When they do so, they are called upon to ensure that they preserve the majority wishes of the people.

Last April the British Parliament voted on BREXIT, the most significant financial crisis in modern English history.

An equal vote was about to render the motion lost.

Respecting this convention's principle, the Speaker of the House gave a detailed explanation of why he used his discretion to vote in the negative to maintain the status quo.

On the Cultural and Civic Space issue, 15000 citizens signed a petition to pause and over 800 submitted written objections to the State Planning Authority.

It is folly to disregard such a public outcry by ignoring the spirit of this principle practised by democratic governments.

Sincerely, Tom STRICKLAND OAM.

Electric buses too quiet?

DEAR News Of The Area, YOUR article on electric buses (‘Electric Bus Trial’, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, March 5 Edition, p9) was very good with one exception.

Your reference to the lack of noise, both inside and outside an electric

bus (and indeed all future motor cars and trucks) does not take into account the safety to pedestrians and bicycle riders.

It is vitally important that all fully electric vehicles, especially buses exude some sort of noise as a gentle warning to other road users.

I suggest that rather than an engine or siren type of noise, some form of music be sounded from

the outside of the bus.

Indeed this could also act as a type of promotion for the bus company.

There you are--something to carefully consider as part of our future.

Regards, Lindsay MOULDEN, Pedestrian, bike rider, car driver and public transport user.

My neighbours’ cat prefers living with me.

It suns itself on my deck, follows me in the garden and if the door is open, and curls up on my lap and falls asleep.

The neighbours are at work all day and so they are unaware of this behaviour.

The thing is, I’ve become very attached to the cat, and I feel as though it feels the same about me.

Last night when it was being called to come in at night, it hid in my shed, and ended up on a little bed I’d made it in the hallway.

Should I speak to the neighbours about adopting it more formally?

Mrs Tiffany B. Dear Tiffany, I THINK you must realise that you have, in fact, turned into a cat napper, and I don’t mean the type that curls up in front of the midday movie for a little power sleep.

I have no doubt that the cat enjoys your company during the day when it is lonely, but you have definitely encouraged the behaviour by allowing it to sleep on your lap during the day and in its own little bed that you’ve made it at night.

Your poor neighbours were probably frantic that their feline friend had gone missing, and there you were, holding it hostage, complete with a crocheted rug and a little mouse toy no doubt.

Did you feed it some sardines or tuna as an added enticement?

You can’t just adopt other people’s pets, Tiffany.

Even if they show you affection.

I would recommend that you contact the various pet rescue facilities in the local area, and perhaps adopt a cat that doesn’t have an owner and is looking for the sort of love and attention that you are able to provide.

You also might like to let your neighbours know that their cat is roaming around when they are at work and quite possibly enjoying not only your hospitality, but also the birds and lizards in the local area.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

OPINION & LETTERS contracted directly to the site and the workers needed to overcome additional issues.

To unload the initial construction plant, a suitable landing site was found on the western side of the island and a wooden crane with a 40-feet jib erected.

Halfway through unloading, the ship had to seek shelter at Trial Bay for three days until conditions settled enough to finish, an issue which arose many times for the island’s residents.

Vessels had difficulty anchoring on the rock sea floor and several anchors were lost, so a mooring buoy was

installed.

A steam winch was also needed to haul supplies up the side of the island, where a horse towed the tram-laden goods along a rail to the building site.

A condensing machine provided water until four tanks were sunk and rain caught, while sheep and goats were kept for fresh meat.

Workers found entertainment in nighttime concerts and fishing, however in December 1879, a carpenter named McCarthy was swept out to sea and drowned while rock fishing with his 12-year-old son.

Mayoral Column - Our Road Network Challenges

By Cr Dominic KING (Mayor) Bellingen Shire Council OUR local roads present us with a range of significant challenges, and Council’s Road Network Renewal Program

focusses on addressing these challenges by prioritising works across our Shire’s network of sealed and unsealed roads.

The program’s strategic approach ranks and schedules our Shire’s roadworks projects based on a variety of factors including road user safety, traffic speed, traffic volumes and type, road serviceability and the availability of internal and external funding sources to deliver these works.

Given the increased intensity and frequency of recent flooding and severe storm events in our region however, our Shire’s road network has become more vulnerable to the impacts of these type of events, and there has been a significant increase in local road network defects.

Unfortunately, this is a challenge faced by every local government area in our region, which is why Council

also continues to collaborate with Mid North Coast Joint Organisation Member Councils and the NSW Government to deliver priority road management projects in our region.

Locally, in response to our everchanging environment, Council Assets Team personnel routinely re-assess road conditions during and after all severe weather events and re-prioritise projects so essential access for commuters and our local agricultural and industrial sectors is maintained.

To achieve this, Council’s Operations Branch personnel must work in extremely challenging conditions, both in terms of weather and terrain, to maintain the more than 200 kilometres of unsealed and 350 kilometres of sealed roads that connect all the villages within our Shire.

For example, during 2019-2020

created waves up to 100 feet above the high-water mark which washed over the island, sweeping away a large landing crane, along with a large storehouse, the blacksmiths shop and stabling.

The banks around a 70,000-gallon dam were demolished and three boats stove in.

All the workers sheltered except one, who narrowly escaped being washed away while trying to secure a boat.

Over time the contractors also lost two landing cranes and a mooring buoy which was later found 35 miles away.

To be continued … our Road Network Renewal Program resurfaced an additional 13 kilometres of poor condition sealed roads, reducing our worst condition rural sealed road length from a total of 109 kilometres down to 80 kilometres.

Council’s adopted Special Rate Variation investments have also funded the completion of 69% of our sealed road renewal works backlog and 66 kilometres of our unsealed road network has also been graded, which equates to 32% of the total network.

That said, the hard work doesn’t stop there, as Council also continues to advocate for and pursue funding opportunities to invest towards ensuring the financial sustainability of roadworks projects also captured via Council’s 10Year Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP).

Given our Shire’s low proportion of rateable land and ever-changing environment, it’s always going to be difficult to address the range of immediate and long-term challenges our road network presents us, and that’s why Council will continue to be resourceful to prioritise, fund and deliver local roadworks projects.

Sort out the Boambee Accident prompts comment Headland DEAR News Of The Area,

BEING a Sawtell resident I'm so disappointed in our Coffs Harbour Council.

We frequent the Boambee Headland at Sawtell and have noticed the terrible state the headland is in.

It either needs mowing and trimming badly or the mowing has been done so

very badly.

I've been told contractors do the job (not well at all).

As well as this, someone in their infinite wisdom has killed just about all the banksias which lovely little birdlife live in. Come on Council step up and do the job RIGHT. I'm in my 70s if you have a mower to give me I would do the job.

Regards, Jenni GEORGE, Sawtell.

Carrie Playford IT'S sad. No wonder with the speed of cars and trucks coming down that hill

there hasn't been another accident.

Remember the fatality years ago caused by speed.

Trish Welsh THE majority of drivers ignore the 80km signage,

so those entry points are ridiculously dangerous.

Locals pointed these problems out, to RMS, when the road was being built.Unsurprisingly, their concerns were dismissed without any consideration.

Kris Gray

Pick one up today.

called Diveplanit Travel, and in "normal times'' spend a lot of time booking international holidays for divers keen to see mantas - divers will travel to the Maldives, Raja Ampat, Galapagos especially to see them - and you lucky Coffs Coast residents have them just 15 minutes off shore at North West Solitary Island.

It really is a hidden gem.

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

WIN, 8.30pm

Many of us have fond memories of watching Graham Norton’s famous guests squeeze onto his big red couch for a raucous chit-chat, but the pandemic has put an end to those shenanigans. For the moment, at least.

While it’s still strange to see Norton’s set dotted with armchairs spaced 1.5m apart, or his guests phoning up on video chat, it’s comforting to know that cheeky banter and a good yarn aren’t a thing of the past.

Tonight, Amy Poehler tells all about her rebellious new film Moxie and Jennifer Garner chats talks about her new family flick Yes Day.

Comedians perform bizarre and hilarious tasks with a liberated ease that only the British could muster in this top-notch game show. Fronted by Greg Davies (below), along with his ‘sidekick’ Alex Horne, who concocted the show’s premise more than 10 years ago at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, season six kicks off with two episodes tonight. The fresh panel – Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Tim Vine (Not Going Out) and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour) – grapple with wheelbarrows and making towers out of lemons, among other absurd things, in what is only the beginning of their 10-episode shenanigans.

BACK ROADS

ABC, 8pm

A robust sense of hope and resilience has always been the backbone of Back Roads, along with a deep appreciation for the unique landscapes and people that make up the small towns dotted across our country. Tonight, presenter Heather Ewart embarks on an emotional return to Mallacoota, the Victorian town which was lashed by an unprecedented firestorm in 2019, which destroyed more than 120 buildings, for heartbreaking and enlightening stories of survival and grief. Ewart catches up with the people she met in the 2016 episode to find out how they are coping not only with the blaze’s aftermath, but also the pandemic.

spent at the top of the ladder, Diggers captain Jonathon Paff said it wouldn’t feel complete without taking out the big game.

“It would be amazing if we won, as from the start of the season we had two goals and that was to be minor premiers and then win the grand final,” he said.

“Coming first doesn’t mean much without winning the big game.”

The Northern Districts Rebels and Bellingen played out a thrilling tie in their second-grade preliminary final at Woolgoolga.

The Rebels opened the batting and were bowled out for 105, with Adam Marks the best of the Bellingen bowlers taking 3/15 from his 6 overs.

Needing 106 for victory, Bellingen fell agonisingly short of victory posting 105 from its 40 overs to unbelievably finish as a tied match.

The Rebels progressed to the grand final by virtue of a higher season placing, and will now face Nana GlenBlue in tomorrow’s season decider at Nana Glen.

The Northern Districts Rebels made another grand final taking their place in the third-grade season decider, after a three wicket win against Coffs Colts-Yellow at Centennial Oval.

The Rebels bowled out the Colts side for 76 thanks largely to a sensational spell from Jack Dudgeon who took 3/12 from his 8 overs.

Diggers Cricket Club Inc. and Sawtell have been the top two teams this season.

They now meet for the ultimate prize in Saturday’s first grade grand final of the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s 2020/21 season.

The grand final is set to be a heavyweight showdown between this season’s minor premiers in Diggers, and the defending premiers Sawtell.

Diggers and Sawtell split their two meetings this season, with Sawtell having won their most recent encounter with a 69-run victory last month, while the Rebels beat Sawtell by 58 runs in Round 4.

Sawtell qualified for this year’s grand final at Fitzroy Oval after their fivewicket victory against the Northern Districts Rebels in their preliminary final at Richardson Park.

Sawtell’s bowlers set up their grand final berth bowling out the Rebels for 118, as Daniel Maguire took 3/20 from his 8 overs while Scott Griffiths took 2/18 from his 8 overs.

Mark Weiley led home the successful chase finishing on 50 not out.

Tomorrow’s grand final promises to be a fascinating encounter.

Diggers have been at the top of the ladder since Round 1 and will look to cap off a super season with the ultimate victory, while Sawtell aims for a second straight premiership.

Selmes told News Of The Area the clubs under 18’s numbers had grown as the season approached.

They will be held at Stadium Drive fields, Coffs Harbour.

male athletes and athletes who might need a little extra help.

Baseball is a game where everyone gets their chance to be a star.

It is safe and most of all, it is great fun In Coffs Harbour, baseball is played at the same time and location every weekend, meaning there is no uncertainty about game times and no need to travel great distances.

Representative opportunities abound

with many Coffs Harbour baseballers having received the opportunity to play at national and international events including the USA and Singapore.

North Coast Football teams enter FFA Cup

By Aiden BURGESS

CHAMPION vs champion is a tantalising prospect no matter what the sport.

Two champion teams face off on Saturday when the Coffs City United Lions host Byron Bay in the latest round of the nation-wide knockout competition known as the Football Federation Australia (FFA) Cup. The Lions and Byron Bay meet in what promises to be a cutthroat and memorable encounter between two of the best teams in Northern NSW. The Lions are the defending Coastal Premier League champions, while Byron Bay won last year’s Football Far North Coast title.

This weekend sees North Coast Football clubs enter this year's FFA Cup – an annual knockout competition featuring teams from across the country in Australia’s version of the FA Cup. Lions coach Glenn

Wiliiams said Byron Bay held the advantage of having vital preparation heading into their FFA Cup tie.

“They have already played an FFA Cup game, and they also had a pre-season competition up north,” he said.

“Our preparation has been different as we had arranged trials with Kempsey and Maitland which were washed out.

“It definitely gives them an advantage.”

Williams shared his thoughts with News of The Area of the challenge of facing a quality side such as Byron Bay first up in the Cup. “We have a hard one first up, but I want the guys to be challenged and we’re going to get that this week,” he said.

“It will definitely be a tough game as they have been quite strong up there in their comp in recent years.”

Perennial powerhouse of North Coast Football the

Boambee Bombers begin their FFA Cup campaign with a local derby against the Sawtell Scorpions at Toormina Oval tomorrow afternoon.

The Bombers are the defending Coastal Premier League Northern Conference champions, while the Scorpions made a return to senior football in the inaugural Coastal Premier League last year.

As they prepared to face the Scorpions in their first FFA Cup match for 2021, Bombers president Fiona Clancy said the young Sawtell side were an unknown quantity heading into their knockout local derby.

“Sawtell are a young and ever improving side, I guess that lends itself towards us knowing little about how they will perform this season,” she said.

Coffs swimmers mix it with Australia’s best

By Aiden BURGESS

FOUR Coffs Harbour swimmers have proven to be amongst the nation’s finest.

The awesome foursome of Mitchell Hickey, Lilly Geddes, Isaiha Phillips, and Sylas Phillips spent last weekend competing at the Australian National Open Water Championships in Coolum.

All four were making their debut at the Championships after qualifying for the prestigious event through earlier exceptional open water swims.

Mitchell Hickey had an outstanding championship starting off with a 6th place finish in the Men’s 17 years 7.5km event.

Hickey backed it up phenomenally the following day finishing 8th out of 92 swimmers in the Men’s 17 years 5km event.

“Conditions were extreme with water temperature reaching over 30° which added another challenging element to what is already a gruelling event,” she said.

“Water visibility was poor, with parts of the course being so murky athletes couldn't see their hands pass through the water.

“Open Water events aren’t just tough because of their event distances being upwards of 5km, they have natural elements that can change even while you’re competing.”

The Coffs coach explained the prestigious nature of last weekend’s event.

“Open Water Swimming is now an Olympic event, added in 2008 at the Beijing Games,” she said.

“Our Australian National Championships are used as selection meets for both Olympic and National Teams so are highly competitive.

“It was great to take a team up, and see them all compete so well at the highest level our sport has to offer domestically.”

q Breah Fischer, Ambrose Page, and Hayley Fischer will represent NSW at the National Junior Hockey Championships in Launceston.

A TRIO of talented Coffs hockey juniors have been selected to represent their state.

Hockey Coffs Coast juniors Breah Fischer, Hayley Fischer, and Ambrose Page were selected to the Hockey NSW state junior representative teams who will take part in next months Under 18’s Men’s and Women’s National Championships in Launceston.

Sisters Breah and Hayley Fischer were selected for the NSW under 18’s women’s teams, while Page was selected to the NSW under 18’s men’s Blues team.

Nana Glen and Coffs Colts are Coffs junior cricket champions

By Aiden BURGESS NANA Glen-White and the Coffs Colts are Coffs cricket’s junior champions after winning their respective grand finals last weekend.

Nana Glen-White won the under 14’s title after a five wicket win at home against Dorrigo.

Breah Fischer is a central defender while Hayley plays in the dominant position of centre midfielder.

Ambrose Page is in the vial shot-stopping position of goalkeeper.

Both the Fischer sisters have previously represented their state at national championships.

Rick Fischer coaches the talented trio putting them through their paces each Monday and Thursday morning.

Fischer told News Of The Area the junior players earnt their state selection through pure hard work and desire.

“They all push themselves pretty hard and are dedicated to making state teams,” he said.

“They are all very focused to get to training and work, and it’s no big deal for them.”

In addition to their

www.newsofthearea.com.au

morning coaching session, the NSW reps also take on their own fitness regime.

“Both my daughters do swimming and surfing as part of their own training. which helps them with their overall fitness in a different way to hockey,” he said.

The Hockey Coffs Coast juniors’ state selection didn’t come overnight as their coach explained.

“To gain selection to the state teams, they go away to a series of camps starting in July where they train at Sydney Olympic Park,” he said.

“There is another camp right at the end of Christmas and then in February, where they name the NSW squads.

“It’s intense and they get put through their paces against the best in the state and in the country.”

Fischer was confident the local reps would represent their state well in Tasmania.

“I’m confident all three q

will hold their own at the national championships, and I rate them highly,” he said.

Coaching his two daughters can sometimes be a tricky proposition for Fischer.

“I am their father but I put my coaches hat on, and sometimes we have the occasional argument,” he said.

“We do have our differences on the field, but they are very receptive to what I say as they get down to work and they are pretty switched on.”

Fischer said enjoying your hockey was the main message he tried to instil to his young players.

“I sort of say to them don’t do it unless you enjoy it,” he said.

“If you stop loving it then don’t do it, and I try not to push them too hard.”

The three NSW representatives will head down to Sydney for an Easter training camp, before heading to Launceston for the National Championships in April.

“We beat the top team Nana-Glen White in the semis, and then we were lucky to get on the field for the grand final due to the wet weather, “The kids bowled really well, and I’m really happy for them as they are a great crew to coach and they made it easy for me.”

The proud coach said runs were hard to come by in the season decider.

“The grass was really slow at Toormina Oval after the wet weather, so they had to work really hard for their runs,” he said.

“I think there were only

three boundaries for the entire match.”

Collett praised the poise of one of his young chargers.

“We have a very good leader in Charlie Wood and he perks the team up,” he said.

“He is a natural born leader and he got the vital wicket in the grand final which got us going and gave us momentum.”

The under 16’s grand final is set to be decided this afternoon when Northern Districts Junior (Coffs) play off against Macksville ExServices JCC in Macksville.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

Professional, Reliable, Efficient Service Commercial - Domestic - Industrial Driveway Pressure Cleaning All Aspects of Insurance Work

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.

By David WIGLEY THE 2021 Bailey Centre Great Ocean Run took place last weekend as runners crossed beaches, creeks and headlands in the 45km ultra marathon from Red Rock to Coffs Harbour.

Andrew Hill and Clare Palmer were the fastest man and woman to finish the course, in speedy times of 3 hours 51 minutes and 3 hours 55 minutes respectively.

Race volunteer and next year’s race director Keelan Birch was pleased with the growing popularity of the grueling event.

“We were really pleased with the turn out of experienced and first time finishers all of whom overcame the softer sand

Jessica Jefferies and Ashlea Patterson running across the soft sand.
