Locked Down FROM Page 1 regional areas.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro was the first MP to announce the news via his social media Twitter and Facebook accounts shortly after 2pm on Saturday.

The sudden announcement sent Coffs Coast residents into a panic with supermarkets across the region inundated with people rushing to stock up on food supplies before the 5pm lockdown commenced.

The lockdown for all of regional NSW will continue until 12.01am on Sunday 22 August.

Under the NSW Government stay-at-home orders everyone must stay at home unless they have a reasonable excuse to leave.

Residents cannot have visitors in their home from outside their household, including family and friends.

People can still have one visitor at one time to fulfil carers’ responsibilities or provide care or assistance, or for compassionate reasons, including where two people are in a relationship but do not live together.

All hospitality venues must be closed to the public, including pubs, restaurants and cafes, except for takeaway.

Retail premises are required to close except for: ● Supermarkets and grocery stores ● Shops that predominantly sell food or drinks (eg. butchers, bakeries, fruit shops and delicatessens) ● Chemists and pharmacies ● Kiosks ● Shops that predominantly sell office supplies, pet supplies, newspapers, magazines and stationery, alcohol, maternity and baby supplies, medical or pharmaceutical supplies ● Food and drink premises, but only to sell takeaway ● Hardware and building supplies

Friday, 20 August 2021

● Rural supplies ● Timber yards ● Garden centres and plant nurseries ● Vehicle hire premises ● Shops that predominantly carry out mobile phone repairs ● Service stations, banks, post offices, laundromats and drycleaners Anyone who leaves their home must carry a face mask with them at all times.

Masks must be worn when working outdoors, by all school staff, by all people in outdoor markets, outdoor shopping strips, and in outdoor queues waiting for products such as coffee and food.

Every employer across NSW must require their employees to work from home unless it is not reasonably practicable to do so.

Exercise outdoors in groups of two or fewer (unless members of the same household) is permitted.

Schooling must be done from home, but schools will remain open for children of essential workers.

From Monday 16 August, small funerals and memorial services of ten persons only (excluding the persons conducting the service) are permitted.

The NSW Government stay-at-home orders for regional NSW were introduced to minimise movement and protect communities from the evolving COVID-19 outbreak in the State.

Mayoral candidate for Coffs Harbour Tony Judge and Mayoral candidate for Bellingen Shire Andrew Woodward described the snap lockdown in regional NSW as “regretful and avoidable''.

“This is an emergency like no other,” they stated.

“While not affected here yet, it was only a matter of time before the virus came to the Coffs Coast.”

Mr Judge and Mr Woodward called on Coffs Coast residents to observe the stay at home rules and get vaccinated as soon as possible,

and they were both critical of the Government’s response to the latest COVID-19 outbreak.

“We are angry that we are in this situation; our anger is directed at Scott Morrison,” they stated.

“He had two jobs - to build a quarantine system that worked and to ensure Australians were vaccinated.

“His failures have caused unnecessary fear and disruption in the community and cost our economy tens of millions of dollars.”

Mr Judge and Mr Woodward now called for

“strong action and leadership” from the NSW Government on the current outbreak.

“The NSW Government’s response must keep a step ahead of the situation,” they stated.

“At the moment, it is playing catch-up.

“The community wants normality to return; the State and Federal Governments need to make this their priority.”

NSW Health is urging people to continue to present for COVID-19 testing, even if they have the mildest of cold-like symptoms.

By Emma DARBIN

The NSW Government recently announced an extension on the vouchers until 30 June 2022.

“This extension gives people across NSW the time to use their vouchers and

Customers can redeem their Dine NSW vouchers for takeaway food services to help support local food businesses doing it tough during the current week-long NSW statewide lockdown.

“This change encourages NSW residents to spend with local businesses when they are not able to get out and about due to COVID-19,” the NSW Government stated.

Takeaway businesses must display

their NSW Government QR code and when picking up takeaway food, customers must use the Service NSW check-in.

All NSW residents aged 18 and over can apply for the four $25 vouchers.

The two $25 Dine NSW vouchers can be used at takeaway food services, cafes and restaurants, pubs, taverns, bars, wineries and clubs.

The two $25 Discover NSW vouchers can be used at amusement parks, cinemas, live music, theatres and entertainment centres, museums, galleries and historic

sites, outdoor adventures, recreational activities such as go-karting, indoor climbing, mini-golf, bowling or ice-rinks, scenic and sightseeing transport, travel agencies and tours, zoos, botanic gardens, wildlife parks and nature reserves.

Dine & Discover vouchers can only be used within businesses that have implemented a COVID safety plan and are registered as COVID safe.

Bellingen UHA volunteers, victorious fundraising

By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGEN United Hospital Auxiliary (UHA) volunteers can stand proud knowing they are honouring the late Mary Faichney's bequest to benefit the staff of her beloved Bellinger River Hospital.

In the last year, Mary’s Tea House custard slices, chickpea salads and other delicious delights have raised extraordinary funds, resulting in a $55,000 donation to purchase a fully automated Stryker operating theatre bed.

At the branch’s recent AGM, members and staff raised a cuppa to the victorious volunteers who brewed, baked and served to reach this life-changing sum.

Bellinger River District Hospital Operating Theatre Nurse Unit Manager Jo Cook said, “We can’t thank you enough for providing us with this new operating theatre bed.

“It does everything…can be remotely adjusted to any position and can even tilt sideways.

“It is a superb piece of

technology and a welcome replacement for our old theatre bed,” Jo said.

Executive Officer/ Director of Nursing Ray Green also paid tribute to the tireless efforts of the volunteers.

Bellingen UHA President Deb Anderson said, “I extend congratulations and thanks to all volunteers for their amazing efforts, diligence with our COVIDsafe plan in Mary’s Tea House, baking and bottling, rostering, accounting and cheerfulness.

“We have certainly been

through some different and difficult times.”

COVID-19 precautions closed Mary’s Tea House, the branch’s main fundraiser, for six months.

The extraordinary donation was a highlight of the 2020-21 year, followed closely by the reopening of Mary’s Tea House thanks to COVID-safe training for branch members.

“Volunteers are still scarce, but we are able to trade three days a week and we remain very popular with staff and visitors,” Deb Anderson said.

An interesting life – Col Robertson turns 96 BORN in 1925, Woolgoolga resident Col Robertson celebrated his 96th birthday on Thursday last week and reflected on his life.

A keen family historian, Col has written and published a memoir titled ‘An Interesting Life’ so that his family and friends can share in the memories of a long and satisfying life.

As it was for most of that generation, the Second World War played a major part in Col’s life, enlisting in the army at age eighteen in 1943.

Col went on to spend his nineteenth birthday guarding

Cowra prison camp, just days after the infamous breakout

by Japanese prisoners of war.

Returning to Sydney’s northern beaches after this episode, Col and other members of his ‘Young Soldiers Battalion’ of under twenty year old’s were recruited to be extras in the filming of Charles Chauvel’s ‘The Rats of Tobruk’ movie.

After jungle training at Canungra in Queensland, the battalion was sent to Bougainville, where they saw action on the Numa Numa Trail and the north of the island, and Col went on to witness the surrender of Nauru Island and then

became part of the garrison there.

At the end of the war Col was demobilised in Melbourne and finished his printing apprenticeship, but the mental and emotional effects of the war took a toll, and he tried his hand a professional fishing for a year, returned to printing, and then re-joined the army as a Sergeant Printer for a further six years, working in top secret material during the Korean War. He then moved to Hobart and worked there, mostly in the government printing department until his retirement.

Moving to Woolgoolga in 1988, he met his wife of 32 years, Pat, while square dancing at Urunga.

When asked about the most important things in his life Col replied, “My wife Pat has been the most important thing to me since we met, I couldn’t have had such a good life without her.

“I also think that the Department of Veterans Affairs have been truly supportive of me ever since I left the army.”

His advice to achieving a long life is, “Stay active and as fit as you can and be interested in the world around you.”

500 blood donations Jenny sets a record

By Andrea FERRARI

JENNY Horton has reached a remarkable milestone of 500 blood donations, having started many decades ago as a student nurse in Armidale.

Jenny sets a record for the highest number of donations achieved by a female on the Mid North Coast and is one of only a handful of women in NSW to reach the milestone.

With every donation having the power to save up to three lives, Jenny has potentially helped save 1500 Australian patients.

Travelling all over the world with her work with Rotary and the World Health Organisation, Jenny has even donated blood in Pakistan for a friend who was dying of Dengue fever.

Jenny makes the two-hour round trip to Coffs Donor Centre every two weeks from her home in Macksville.

“I am very happy to have reached 500 donations and grateful for all the people I have helped along the way,” said Jenny.

“Everyone who can donate, should.

Boat ramp upgrade work to begin

By David TUNE

WORK on the muchawaited Coffs Harbour boat ramp upgrade is due to start this month, with local Member Gurmesh Singh announcing on Tuesday 10 August the upcoming commencement of the first stage of construction.

The $14M project

q Artist’s impression of the stage one upgrade. Photo: Leigh Bolton.

will be delivered in two stages, and it is anticipated that construction will be completed by September next year, with stage 1 due for completion in April.

The first stage will include a 75-metre extension to the existing breakwall, which should lead to reduced sediment build-up and wave issues,

making launching and recovering boats much safer.

Other work in stage one will be an extension to the existing pontoon and adding two more, widening the ramp to give two additional lanes and resurfacing the ramp area.

Coffs Harbour Regional Boat Ramp Precinct Enhancement Committee member John Lawler said at the announcement, “It has taken time to get the upgrade plan right, and safety of people using the facility has been paramount in our planning.

“The addition of toilets

and showers in stage two will also be a part of the ongoing Jetty upgrade.”

Committee members also commended Mr Singh on his support and commitment to the project, as well as the support from Coffs Harbour City Council in moving the project forward.

It was also noted that the construction was planned to go ahead with the least amount of disruption to users of the ramp, with two lanes remaining open during the work.

“The second stage of work, due to start in

January next year, will involve upgrading the car park to provide additional car, boat and trailer parking, realignment of Jordan Esplanade, a new entrance at the western end of the car park and upgrading features such as fish-cleaning tables,” said Mr Singh.

“Also to be installed as part of this project will be new lights and signs, services, new outdoor furniture and seating, landscaping, an amenities block, and a shared bike and pedestrian pathway next to Jordan Esplanade.”

Coffs Bypass delay criticised COFFS Harbour Mayoral candidate Tony Judge and the Labor Council Team have criticised the NSW Government for its lack of progress on the highly anticipated Coffs Harbour Bypass project.

Mr Judge and the Labor Council Team are calling for an urgent update on the Pacific Highway Bypass project timetable to keep Coffs Harbour residents and businesses in the picture.

“The bypass will be a major change that will affect Council, residents and businesses,” Mr Judge said.

“We need to plan and prepare for the initial disruption, the economic impact on businesses and the new opportunities that will come from reduced through traffic in Coffs Harbour.

“However, the seemingly endless delays and lack of updates on progress make planning impossible and create stress for everyone who will be impacted by the bypass.”

Mr Judge contrasted

past bold State Government announcements about the project with this year’s lack of progress. “There are glossy advertisements from the NSW Government about the bypass,” he stated.

“There were announcements of Federal funding; there were even photos last year of smiling local MPs with shovels.

“What’s missing is any concrete action towards building the bypass.”

State Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh was astounded by these claims and was quick to reassure the community that the Coffs Harbour Bypass project was on track.

“Where the RFS station was where we did the sod

JobTrainer going well in Coffs

By Andrea FERRARI

ALMOST fourteen hundred Coffs Coast locals have taken up a fee-free JobTrainer course during the pandemic, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh told News Of The Area.

The most popular courses to study for local residents were the Certificate III in Individual Support, Statement of Attainment in Construction and Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care.

Moonee Beach young mum, Ayla McQuestin,

signed up for the Certificate III in Early Childhood and is completing her TAFE Digital studies at TAFE CHEC. Ayla is employed with Mullaway Childcare centre three days a week, which is also where her son attends day care.

The 23-year-old single mum has previously worked in hospitality jobs which have been unreliable.

After giving birth and becoming a stay-at-home mum for a year, Ayla is studying and keen to be back working now that her son is 18-months-old.

Motherhood sparked her interest in early childhood learning and growth, a career path that has the added benefit of her being able to be close to her young son.

Ayla told News Of The Area, “JobTrainer is so worthwhile and it has definitely helped me a lot.

“If it weren’t for JobTrainer I would be less inclined to study because I would be concerned about the financial pressure of not working full time, in addition to paying for fees.

“It was the key incentive for me to take the step and

start studying.”

With NSW recording more than 100,000 JobTrainer enrolments since the jointly funded Federal and NSW Government program was announced in October 2020, the highest number of enrolments were from those in the 17-24 age group - 610 of whom are on the Coffs Coast.

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said, “These strong enrolment figures show how crucial reskilling and upskilling has been during this difficult period so the people of NSW

“The tendering is an ongoing process because the people who did the water are different to the people who are going to do the heavy earthworks,” Mr Singh stressed.

“Procurement is ongoing and it will continue all the way through the five-year process.”

News Of The Area questioned Mr Singh about whether environmental issues around West Coffs were holding up progress on the Bypass project.

“There’s ongoing stuff that they’re dealing with,

things like Panama Disease and the spread of that, but that’s all part of the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement),” Mr Singh replied.

The Coffs Harbour Bypass will be the town’s biggest ever infrastructure project, which will support 12,000 jobs over the lifecycle of the project.

The 14-kilometre bypass will take more than 12,000 vehicles a day out of the centre of Coffs Harbour, reduce travel times by as much as twelve minutes and improve safety for road users.

turnover that’s nearly complete, that’s due for handover basically any day now,” Mr Singh stated.

“Work is exactly where it’s meant to be, all you have to do is go out and have a look and see where the work has actually been done.”

Mr Singh said quite extensive work has been undertaken at Coramba Road including water and sewer works, and stated that tendering for the Bypass project was “ongoing” and each individual tender required different people to undertake different parts of the project.

Region welcomes new police recruits THE Coffs Clarence Police District has welcomed four new police recruits to the region this week.

The four are part of a group of 182 police recruits who were sworn-in as probationary constables at a private attestation ceremony, held in compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, in Goulburn last Friday.

The new probationary constables have been assigned to police area commands and police districts across the state.

“On behalf of our community, I’m pleased to be able to welcome our newest police officers to the Coffs Clarence Police District,” Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said.

“They join an outstanding team of crime

fighters who work hard day and night to keep our local streets safe.

“They are to be commended for their dedication to the job.”

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott congratulated the recruits who are starting their new careers in times of unprecedented challenges.

“Congratulations to the men and women of class 348, who graduate today and will join the NSW Police Force when it most needs versatile, adaptable officers,” Mr Elliott said.

“The career path you embark on today will test your courage, your resilience and your decision-making.

“You are joining a police family of more

than 17,000; a modern, well-equipped force focused on driving down crime rates and protecting the community.

“The NSW Government will be there, too, to support you and ensure you have world-class training, and the technology and resources you need to best serve the people of NSW.” Class 348 includes 121 men and 61 women.

Twenty-three recruits were born overseas in countries including Canada, China, Columbia, Fiji, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Iraq, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, Syria, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Some recruits entered the NSW Police Academy straight from school or university, while others left established professional careers and trades.

Many are from backgrounds where English is a second language - Assyrian, Arabic, Dari, Greek, Hindi, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Urdu.

Six recruits are Indigenous, with two recruits joining through the Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Delivery (IPROWD) program.

The recruits have completed eight months of foundational training and those allocated to commands reported to their stations from Monday 16 August 2021.

CCS acid sulphate soil report rejected

By Emma DARBIN COFFS Harbour City councillors have chosen not to note a report by Council staff which reviewed the interstate disposal of acid sulphate soils from the Cultural and Civic Space construction site to Queensland.

The report responded to an earlier Council resolution at a Council meeting on 20 May for Council to receive a report which outlines the Cultural and Civic Space (CCS) Project Board’s delegated expenditure limits for additional project expenditure, and the decision-making processes which led to the selection of the method of disposal for soils excavated from the Cultural and Civic Space project at Gordon Street, Coffs Harbour to Queensland.

The Cultural and Civic Space project entails the excavation of approximately 23,000 tonnes of material, which is required by State Significant Development Application consent conditions to be dealt with as acid sulphate soil.

According to the Council report, in June 2019 Coffs Harbour’s Airport Enterprise Park development site was identified as the “preferred receiving site for the excavated CCS soil”.

In October 2020, the decommissioned Sawtell Sewerage Treatment Plant site emerged as an alternate fill site for the CCS excavated soil if the Airport Enterprise Park site was found to be untenable.

In January 2021, the Airport Enterprise Park site was ruled out as an option and the Sawtell Sewerage Treatment Plant site was confirmed as the only available alternative site.

In February 2021, the Sawtell Sewerage Treatment Plant site was pursued as

the solution, with on-site treatment of the acid sulphate soil to occur at Gordon Street prior to its transport to Sawtell.

In March 2021, community concerns emerged through social media and in Council Chambers regarding taking the soil waste to Sawtell, and an investigation of disposal options outside of Coffs Harbour was undertaken.

In May 2021, the carting and disposal of the untreated acid sulphate soil by strategic underwater burial in Queensland within 24 hours of excavation emerged as the most appropriate disposal option, at additional cost.

“The diversion of the material to underwater disposal acknowledged the community concerns regarding the use of the Sawtell STP site,” the Council report stated.

“The decision to transport the material to underwater disposal effectively mitigated the financial risks which would otherwise have arisen as a consequence of delays under the contract.”

Cr Sally Townley was one of four councillors who chose not to note Council’s report on the issue at Council’s meeting on Thursday 12 August.

“I don’t want to note this because I’m just not really satisfied with the answer, I’m not satisfied that it took nearly four months for this (report) to come back and I find that there's inconsistencies,” Cr Townley stated.

“We were told that everything was in hand; I was satisfied that everything was in hand.

“I'm still happy that we’ve signed the contract, I understand that this extra $1.3million dollars is in the variation but I don’t think it’s a satisfactory explanation.”

Cr Tegan Swan also chose not to note Council’s report

and questioned why Council staff didn’t look into the issue sooner.

“If we go all the way back to our development consents it was repeatedly recommended that we consult with the EPA to decide an appropriate site for landfill,” Cr Swan said.

“So, given that was constantly told to us by a number of professionals, why did we not instigate that communication with the EPA at that time?

“We waited over a year until we decided to have a look at it.”

Cr Paul Amos also chose not to note the Council report.

“It's an issue about councillors getting good information to make their decisions upon,” Cr Amos stressed.

“I’m concerned that this document is not as complete as it could be.

“The reason why we moved so quickly to go from Sawtell to Queensland is that the community of Sawtell were outraged, and Toormina, now I’ve seen no indication of that.”

Cr Amos said the report showed that the Airport and the Sawtell sites “were never in the mix”.

“They were never going to work,” he stated.

“All this while we’re making big decisions and that $1.5 million potentially if added into the contract earlier might have changed some councillor’s minds in which direction we headed with the project.”

Cr Keith Rhoades questioned “what was the rush for” to send the acid sulphate soil to Queensland.

“Can the councillors be informed as to what was the rush for?” Cr Rhoades asked.

“What was the rush to have it done in such a very, very short period?”

A Council director stated

that “unless there was a disposal option for the acid sulphate soils, the project wasn’t going to proceed and there are delay penalties for Council as the principle if we cause delays to the smooth flow of the project for the contractor”.

“That was the primary reason for the expediting of the option,” the Council director stated.

Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath said he fully supported the Project Board’s decision on 30 April 2021 to approve a Variation Request from CCS Head Contractor Lipman Pty Ltd to cart and dispose of the acid sulphate soil via strategic underwater burial.

“Having reviewed the material that led to the situation we’re in, I fully support what the Project Board did under the circumstances,” Mr McGrath stated.

“On top of Council resolving to accept the lump

sum offer from Lipman and to progress with the construct phase of the project, Council also at that time looked at the total project end cost and adopted a contingency specifically to accommodate unforeseen elements that may arise both through the excavation of soil or when issues may come up during construction.”

The Council report stated that the Project Board may approve a variation, including additional project expenditure, unless it exceeds the overall project budget limit of $81.265m.

Any project variation over this budget limit must be reverted to Council and receive an effective resolution from Council voting for the additional required funds.

“The Board was operating within its authority and consistent with its role when it approved a Variation Request for the purposes of removing acid sulphate soil to underwater disposal

in Queensland,” the Council report stated.

“The Board approved a Variation to an existing contract which had already been appropriately resolved

by Council.

“In approving the Variation for underwater disposal of acid sulphate soil the Board did not cause or allow the Council-resolved Project budget of $81.265m to be exceeded.

“The approved $81.265m budget included a contingency amount specifically for issues which might arise during the excavation phase of the Project.”

Councillors resolved 4 votes to 3 not to note the Council report on the issue, with councillors Paul Amos, Keith Rhoades, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voting not to note the Council report and councillors Denise Knight, Michael Adendorff and George Cecato voting to note the Council report.

Climate Change Hits Home

By Andrew VIVIAN

CLIMATE change is not at the forefront of everybody’s mind on the Coffs Coast.

COVID-19 and the current lockdown preoccupy the thoughts of many people, and others are simply struggling to get by.

The Black Summer bushfires badly affected some parts of the Coffs Coast, but luckily most vulnerable areas were untouched.

However, the recent

release of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) raises local concerns from a global issue.

In summary, the report says that humans do contribute significantly to climate change.

Australian land areas have warmed by around 1.4°C with annual temperature changes being higher and heat and cold extremes have increased in all land regions of the country.

Sea levels have risen and are projected to continue rising, contributing to increased coastal flooding and shoreline retreat along sandy coasts.

The frequency of extreme fire weather days has increased, and the fire season has become longer since 1950 at many locations leading to the intensity, frequency and duration of fire weather events being likely to increase throughout Australia.

In eastern Australia, there will probably be a decrease in average cool season rainfall, but more extreme rainfall

events and river floods.

While it is often difficult to observe fluctuations in climate that happen over long periods of time, some changes are noticeable to locals.

Rob Lang, President of the Coffs Coast Game and Sport Fishing Club said, “Ocean currents are complex and there have been fluctuations in temperatures over the past five six years, but the water has seemed a bit warmer in winter.”

Data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology shows that the average maximum temperature for the Coffs Harbour area has risen by more than 1°C over the past

Weather events are becoming more extreme.

older people are more susceptible to heat stroke and could be at risk.

This means that, in the short term, Coffs Coast residents might be spending more money on ways to keep cool or are suffering health problems as a result of heat, while in the medium to long term, they will be affected by more intense bushfires and extremes in weather, including rain and flooding, and ocean warming.

Despite this bleak outlook, scientists say that, together, we can act now to prevent the effects of climate change becoming even worse.

50 years, and, in particular, over the past decade.

Although some effects of climate change are gradual, some are already affecting Coffs Coast residents and will continue to do so this summer.

The New York Times reported that 600 more people died in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington in June than would have been typical and, in the Canadian province of British Columbia, 570 deaths have been heat related.

While higher average temperatures might be good news for the sellers and installers of air conditioners,

Discussions on death at Dying to Know

By Andrea FERRARI DYING to Know, an information event organised by Bellingen’s Barefoot Funerals and including service providers to the dying, welcomed visitors on Thursday 12 August to ask any questions related to death.

Leonie Watson, CoFounder of Barefoot Funerals, told News Of The

Area, “I am always grateful when asked some surprising questions.

“Natural burials were discussed in detail and the observation was made that there were none in this area, and the consensus was there should be.

“People asked about saving money on funerals and we had some good discussions around home funerals.”

q Joy Watson from Miindala.

Sharing her work, Sim Elizabeth from Blue Wren Wisdom told News Of The Area, “My role as a Death Doula supports the dying by providing compassionate and holistic non-medical care, comfort, guidance, including practical and Spiritual care for them and their family.

“End of Life rituals can be powerfully sacred.

“The Afterlife Tree was made as a ritual by tying on messages of love, blessings or words unspoken to the loved one who has died.

“This intention is transformative in active grief work which strengthens our continuing bonds with them.

“These messages will be released by offering them into a ceremonial fire.”

Joy Watson introduced visitors to Miindala, a support network for the Bellingen, Dorrigo, Urunga and Coffs areas, for loss and grief support.

Miindala has a connection with Lifeline and suicide bereavement through its organising body, the National Association for Loss And Grief (NALAG).

“We guide grieving through ritual; it’s a powerful way of healing,” said Joy. Lissa Carmela, a Death

Doula offering End of Life Support, recently felt a vocational pull to becoming a death doula, after many years as a registered nurse working in palliative care.

“For me, it’s about a connection that’s emotional and spiritual as well as educational.

“I’m also really passionate about assisting people in planning a Living Wake.

“I help them with ideas about what they can do, assisting with the planning, respecting culture, beliefs, rituals and recognising what a good death means to that person.

“My biggest role is active listening.”

Gabrielle Tanner, AbSorb Photography, talked with visitors about absorbing life's memories through the lens, documenting occasions in a sensitive and compassionate way.

Council confirms vision for future Landfill Facility

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council has set its sights high with its focus for the region’s future planned landfill tip facility to become the most modern waste recovery complex in Australia.

Coffs Harbour councillors approved the adoption of a Council Vision Statement at Council’s meeting on Thursday 12 August, as Council works towards a new landfill tip facility.

The Vision Statement states that, “Council, upon identifying the most appropriate tip site, also builds a facility that creates a new standard in onsite recycling and waste recovery and thus strive to ultimately maximise the diversion of waste from landfill in our Local Government Area.

“Council seek to apply new technologies to deliver the most modern waste recovery complex in Australia.”

Cr Michael Adendorff, however, expressed his concern at the meeting about Council taking a risk in

CHH

seeking to use new innovative technologies at the future tip facility.

“I’d rather leave innovation, particularly in the waste field, to private enterprise,” Cr Adendorff expressed.

“I don’t think it should be up to a local council to seek to apply new technologies to deliver the most modern waste facility.

“I am against it because I believe that any new and modern technology has the risk of failure.”

Cr Adendorff said Council should be using “tried and tested” waste management technologies in the future waste management facility.

“I am concerned that we become a guinea pig or test Council if we take on this vision,” he stressed to councillors.

“We’ve seen this in Coffs Harbour, that new technology can fail, particularly in this area.

“I’m concerned that it opens us up to abuse, frankly.”

Fellow councillors did not agree and welcomed

McGrath said the next step would be the establishment of a business case that will help Council understand the potential costs of different waste management options being considered by Council. q Coffs Harbour City Council has set its vision for the region’s future landfill tip facility, which includes seeking new technologies to deliver Australia’s most modern waste recovery complex.

PROMOTE YOU! Council’s Vision Statement for the future tip facility.

Cr Paul Amos said hopefully in the near future Council will have the newest tipface facility in Australia.

“I’m hoping it will be the most modern and we work towards limiting what we actually put into that tip, we would be looking at reclamation and reuse, and making it something to really be the benchmark for other councils,” Cr Amos stated.

“Unfortunately it's a necessary evil to have a tipface, but if we can make it the best one possible in Australia it will be a great feather in

the cap of Coffs Harbour Council.”

Cr Sally Townley also supported Council’s Vision Statement for the landfill facility.

“I support Council having a vision for the future of waste management,” Cr Townley said.

“Of course we need vision; if we’ve got nothing to aim at we don’t know where we’re going.

“It’s a great start, it signals our intention and I think it's setting out to say that we want to do a good job, not just a good job, we want to do the best job.”

Coffs Harbour SES volunteer returns home after Olympics COFFS Harbour SES volunteer and elite athlete expert Dr Deidre Anderson will return home this week after a oncein-a-lifetime experience at the Tokyo Olympics.

Amongst other endeavours, Deidre works as a Performance and Wellbeing Consultant for Elite Athletes and Business Executives, supporting the Australian Olympic Softball Team.

The group flew over to Tokyo at the start of June and played nearly 30 games with professional teams to prepare themselves for the Olympics, after no competition for 18 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deidre said highlights included seeing the players’ faces when they arrived, watching them march around the village in their Olympic uniforms, and being in a lift with Ash Barty and Jessica Fox. q

“Working with the team (“Aussie Spirit”) has been incredible,” she said.

“There were some players who were due to retire when the original Tokyo games were scheduled, but have gone on for another year holding their bodies together just to compete at their first Olympics.”

She said the Tokyo Games were especially challenging.

“The pandemic took away many opportunities for the athletes to do things like attending the opening and closing ceremonies, experiencing the beautiful culture of Tokyo, spending time with other athletes, for their parents and friends to join them on their journey to Tokyo, and to have spectators in the stadiums,” Deidre said.

“Despite this, the Olympic spirit still managed to infiltrate and influence the experience in a positive and

fulfilling way.”

Deidre has worked with elite athletes for over 25 years, including at the Sydney Olympics.

She became involved in softball in the Air Force in the interservice team, then when working at the Victorian Institute of Sport.

She joined NSW SES in August 2020, having lived in Coffs Harbour for two years and wanting to engage more with the local community.

“I am physically active and always up for a challenge, so the SES came to mind,” Deidre said.

“I had seen the amazing work that was done after the floods in Coffs, and felt that there was a great value alignment between myself and the ideals of the SES. “In the past 12 months I have completed training in rooftop safety, working at heights, chainsaw crosscut

and felling, obtained my rigid licence, first aid, traffic boat operators, land search, and public defibrillation.

“I was part of the evacuation team when Sawtell was threatened by rising water, assisting in the most recent North Coast floods, and have attended many roof repairs and chainsaw jobs.

“I am looking forward to getting piaro and road crash rescue courses completed.

“Coffs Unit has a great team and there is always something going on in our community, it’s great to feel as though you can assist in a small way to keep our community safe.”

She felt there was a distinct link between the Olympics and being in the NSW SES. “There is a common goal to do and be your best, to uphold a standard and ethics that are much greater than the individual, and the necessity for teams in helping achieve greater things,” Deidre said.

ROAD safety upgrades and improvements will be delivered on Waterfall Way and the Pacific Highway at Wardell thanks to funding from the Federal Government.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the funding will deliver crucial road safety improvements in Cowper while also supporting shovel-ready construction activity.

“This vital funding provides a critical boost to local jobs and the economy in an uncertain environment, but it also delivers life-saving upgrade works to keep people safe on our roads,” Mr Conaghan said.

Uncovered muso competition reveals local talents COFFS Coast Uncovered is a music competition held at The Seaview Tavern Woolgoolga, with the aim of promoting local, upcoming musos.

“We have twenty local acts playing across four weeks, on hold during lockdown, with the winner of each heat going through to the final,” Dan Whiffen, Events Manager at North Coast Hotel Group, told News Of The Area.

“It’s an event for all levels of experience but especially musos who have only played publicly once or twice.”

For example, last Saturday, soloist Belski (aged 14), made her debut

performance in a live show.

“It’s that type of person I wanted to expose to a live performance.

“She did great, dealing with a pub atmosphere show.”

The audience for Uncovered may be there for the competition to listen to the acts but there’s also people there who have just come out for the night and will be talking loudly and not paying attention.

“This is how you hone your trade,” said Dan. “It’s all part of learning the ropes of a live performance.

“It was great to see last week’s young performers.

Plan of Management for Woolgoolga Lake

By Emma DARBIN

FUTURE passive commercial recreational activities at Woolgoolga Lake such as pedal-boat hire have been flagged in a new draft Plan of Management for the coastal lake.

The draft plan is one of a number of Plans of Management (PoM) for Crown Land Reserves classed as ‘community land’ currently being undertaken

by Coffs Harbour City Council.

The draft plan was unanimously adopted by Coffs Harbour councillors at Council’s meeting on Thursday 12 August and will now be forwarded to the NSW Government, which owns all Crown Land in the State, to seek approval to place the draft plan on public exhibition for community comment.

The draft Plan of Management will provide a management framework

for any possible passive, water-based commercial recreational activities, such as pedal-boat hire, that may occur in the future.

A Council report on the plan stated that the aim of the new plan was for the reserve to “continue to provide benefits to the community while ensuring environmental protection”.

“The PoM authorises the variety of uses that the reserve has been, or

is currently being used for, while also providing sufficient flexibility for Council to modify the use or management of the reserve, into the future,” the report stated.

“The draft PoM also authorises the granting of leases, licences and other estates so that organisations providing services, facilities and or recreational opportunities to the community may have

security of tenure should they wish.”

Woolgoolga Lake covers three square kilometres and

Businesses pivot to deliveries and takeaways

By Andrea FERRARI

FROM food, to books, veggie boxes to a single espresso; Coffs LGA entrepreneurs are pivoting to meet the demands of their locked down customers, COVID-safe and with a smile.

“The two-hour-notice lockdown left a lot of businesses, especially our restaurants, in a massive spot, with food already ordered for the weekend trade,” said Nikki Williams, owner of The Salon, Coffs.

“While converting quickly

to takeaways, these poor guys have already copped the brunt of the COVID restrictions with limited capacity.

“This snap lockdown was another huge hit.

“My first thought was ‘work fast and try to get as many businesses’ takeaway deals out there on Facebook, ASAP’ to move the food they already had.”

These businesses and their offerings are now shared on the ‘Coffs and surrounds Local takeaway lockdown deals’ group on Facebook.

“I’m so stoked to see how

many people have shared different restaurants’ and cafes’ posts already.

“I love small business in times like these, no whingeing just head down and get on with the job.

“It’s what makes them so special, and the benefit of living in a place like Coffs is how much the community jumps to throw in their support.

“My business is affected also, yet we’ve been here before and have some great ways to keep our clients engaged.

“We’ll be delivering DIY at-home facial kits and skincare for the duration of the lockdown.”

Coastal Soul Food catering, run by the husbandand-wife team of Brad and Dannii Brown, is offering handcrafted grazing boxes.

“We are both foodies and wanted to bring what we love to your life in a convenient way.

“Our boxes are chefprepared and unique to our small business.

“The DUDE box started as a State of Origin footballbased event and has been so popular it is now available regularly along with our Grazer, a classic for any occasion.

“Both boxes are available in three sizes and can be arranged for customers to pick up from our central Coffs Harbour location.”

Julie Holgate, Manager at The Book Warehouse Coffs told News Of The Area, “We may have our doors

temporarily closed but inside we are toiling away making sure you can still get all your favourite books, puzzles, games and activities for the whole family, and upcoming Father’s Day. “We are also offering a wrapping service for that special gift, and we’ll help you choose from our beautiful range of cards.”

During times of heavy rain and a closed estuary entrance, the water level of Woolgoolga Lake can rise, causing concern for residents of the nearby caravan park.

So that Council can mechanically reduce the height of the sand berm to allow water to escape and lower the water level, a Woolgoolga Lake Entrance Management Procedure has been developed with agreement from all relevant State Government agencies.

The draft Woolgoolga Lake Plan of Management is separate to the Woolgoolga Lake Entrance Management Procedure, although it is the overarching legislative instrument which allows the lake entrance to be managed.

The draft Woolgoolga Lake Plan of Management is also separate to the Woolgoolga Lake Coastal Management Program, which is also running parallel to this plan.

The purpose of the Coastal Management Program is to understand and outline key threats and impacts to the estuary and to develop management actions to address them.

Funding for Cultural and Civic Space project questioned

By Emma DARBIN ALTERATIONS to the funding plan for the controversial $81m Cultural and Civic Space project were questioned by Cr Paul Amos at a recent meeting of Coffs Harbour City Council.

Cr Amos stated in a Question on Notice on Thursday 12 August that the project was now not fully funded into the extended term of the project following Council’s recent rejection of sale offers for its Castle Street Council administration building and Council Chambers, which was to partly fund the Cultural and Civic Space project.

“A reasonable and anticipated offer on the Castle St property was declined,” Cr Amos stated.

“It is a legislative requirement that all projects and resolutions have funding requirements and sources clearly determined.

“This project is not fully funded into the extended term of the funding lifecycle.”

Cr Amos questioned whether Council was operating within the requirements of the Local Government Act to alter the funding plan without due consideration to a further report presented by the General Manager outlining the alternate funding options available and thus resolving a responsible position as to the new funding plan.

Council responded by stating that Cr Amos’ assertion that the project was not fully funded into the extended term of the project

was not correct.

Council stated that the Cultural and Civic Space project funding comprised T2S Reserve Funds ($10.5m), Loan Borrowing ($50.265m), Property Sales’ proceeds ($3m), Interim Loan Borrowing ($17m), and a Public Library Infrastructure Grant ($500,000), which all amount to $81.265m.

“The proceeds from sale of the four properties was reduced by $17m (for Castle Street and Rigby House) and an interim loan added (variable rate and interest only) for up to a five-year term to provide Council flexibility in the sale process for the two properties to ensure the best value for the community can be realised,” Council responded.

The Council response also revealed that withdrawal of the sale of Council’s administration building and Council Chambers was “temporary”, until Council is provided with a report on a Scoping and Feasibility Study for a future Coffs Harbour Entertainment Venue.

“Once the study is reported to Council, the current resolved position means the property

Typically the afternoons are a hive of activity at the popular Jetty Strip as the late lunch trade morphs into the early evening business.

Some businesses chose to plough through the lockdown, operating on a take-away basis only, but by the afternoon the streets were empty.

“If Council resolves an alternative position, a funding issue may arise which Council will need to address at that time.

“As the interim funding model is in place and no property has been permanently withdrawn from sale at this time, Council is operating in accordance with

Marine Creatures Get Help

By Andrew VIVIAN

COFFS Harbour is the home of a new not-for-profit marine conservation agency dedicated to improving outcomes for sick, injured and orphaned marine wildlife.

Formed by some of Australia’s most experienced marine veterinarians and rescuers, the agency is seeking to fill in a gap between Taree and the Queensland border where there are currently no dedicated rescue boats available.

Ocean Warriors Australia (OWA) will work with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) and licensed rescue organisations, such as the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital and Wildlife Recovery Australia.

It will support responses to marine stranding events, entanglements, and the critical care of sick, injured and orphaned whales, dolphins, turtles and other marine wildlife.

OWA’s operations will be based at the National Marine Science Centre through a partnership with Southern Cross University and is headed by Coffs Harbourbased marine veterinarian Dr Duane March, Dr March said that OWA will have a strong research focus, and is currently working on research into factors influencing whale strandings and the impacts of pollution on sea turtles.

He told News Of The Area research is examining if biotoxins affect the health of marine life, particularly whales and dolphins, and

how sea turtles are harmed by ‘compromised water’, such as polluted urban waterways.

Dr March said rescuers can examine animals for infections or mechanical issues (such as plastic bags) but there are few facilities to check for biotoxins private laboratories on the Gold Coast charge more than $4,000 for each animal tested.

Researchers need to collect a sample, get the sample to an appropriate laboratory and then review the results.

The agency also wants to improve cultural outcomes.

Dr March said that different marine species have different totemic issues which sometimes vary between cultural groups.

“It’s about treating dead

and dying creatures with respect,” he said.

For example, legally carcasses must be disposed of at a waste facility, but this is not considered culturally appropriate.

Dr March said that a compromise might be to remove the heart for an appropriate ceremony and burial.

Another cultural issue might be that a ceremony is needed to be performed before an animal is euthanised.

He said that OWA aims to provide a connection between volunteer groups and universities and facilitate improved care and preventative measures.

Dr March said, “Every time we have a dead or dying animal on the beach is an opportunity for research.”

Black Summer Bushfire Recovery grants – application support

By Andrea FERRARI GRANTS sound good but when faced with applying for the funds, the rigorous process can be overwhelming and confusing especially when the whole reason you need the grant is because you’ve experienced a disaster.

With the closing date for the $280 million Black Summer Bushfire Recovery (BSBR) grants looming – 5pm, 2 September – if you need support with your application there’s still one free workshop available online – Tuesday 24 August.

With misinformation circulating, causing anxiety and frustration, go to the source and ask the questions that matter to you.

The free application support is being provided to help people understand the grant guidelines, as well as provide tips on

how to write a grant.

Coordinator General of the National Recovery and Resilience Agency, the Hon Shane L Stone AC QC, said that eligible groups with a project idea should prioritise accessing the free support – including joining an online workshop to ensure that their applications are of the highest quality.

“Incorrect assumptions about how funding will be distributed potentially discourage applicants from putting forward important projects for their communities.

“The best way to ensure these grants help with your region’s recovery is to do your research, join a workshop and ask questions,” said Shane.

“We know you’ve been through the bushfires, followed by flooding, and compounded by the impacts of the pandemic.

“We want you to use these grants in the best ways possible to aid your ongoing recovery.”

20 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

Those in every LGA that was declared a disaster, as a result of the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires, are eligible for the BSBR grants, including Coffs Harbour and the Nambucca Valley.

Community organisations, businesses and local councils are encouraged to apply for projects that are meaningful to them and their community.

Eligibility is broad-ranged; from

social and community wellbeing projects right through to projects that support the recovery of local economies and infrastructure.

A Plan For Local Music

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Coffs Harbour City Council is planning a coordinated, collaborative approach to stimulating the live music scene.

A joint initiative with the Live Music Office, the Australasian Performing Right Association and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (APRA AMCOS), who manage music rights, ‘Live and Local’ aims to increase live music opportunities and explore how to support local music sector development in Coffs Harbour in a way that is innovative, flexible and sustainable.

The project aims to stimulate employment opportunities for musicians, particularly those who are

young, diverse and emerging, while supporting economic activities and developing cultural spaces for audiences.

Nikki Greenwood, Council’s Group Leader, Community and Cultural Services, said this will be a collective effort involving performers, venues, music teachers, event organisers, suppliers and venues that have never hosted live music before.

Recent events such as the “Bail Outs” and musicians playing in the city square and cafes have been about connecting musicians and non-traditional venues.

The first stages of the project involve setting up a Coffs Live and Local Working Group and conducting a census of local musicians and venues to get a snapshot

media@newsofthearea.com.au

of the Coffs Coast live music scene..

Ms Greenwood said, “We need to hear from the industry about what is working and what’s not and what they would ideally like to see.”

Council hopes that outcomes such as more paid performance opportunities for local musicians in more performance spaces will eventuate from the project by connecting musicians and businesses to the broader music industry so that both feel more confident to regularly book gigs.

The development of the database of musicians and businesses should lead to a network of local businesses programming live music more regularly.

Ms Greenwood said, “We

q Coordinator General of the National Recovery and Resilience Agency, the Hon Shane L Stone AC QC.

are already in the process of establishing a Coffs Live and Local Working Group to help steer all the activities including a Live Music Census, which will be open for input until September the 10th 2021.

“The call-out to be part of the Working Group, which invites representatives from all areas of the live music scene, closes on August the 27th, 2021.

“We want to hear what people involved in the live music scene want.

“We want to know how we can help connect venues, audiences and performers,” she said.

MINISTER for Agriculture Adam Marshall has urged primary producers this week to start preparing now for a spring surge in the mice population after increased activity was reported in the state’s north.

“While there has been some respite from high mouse numbers across the winter months as breeding slowed, we remain concerned about a spring surge in numbers as the weather warms up,” Mr Marshall said.

“It looks like we’re going to have good conditions and hopefully a great winter crop, but that also means mice will have everything they need to build populations very quickly in the lead up to harvest.

“Early detection is critical to helping protect crops, so farmers should be walking their paddocks now looking for signs of mice and being prepared to bait if needed.”

Mr Marshall said signs of mouse damage included chewing the nodes of developing cereals and the chewing of flowers and pods on canola and legumes.

“The experts tell us it is better to bait early with the newly-available zinc phosphide 50g/kg baits before your crops start to fill,” Mr Marshall said.

By Manny WOOD

Demystifying executorial responsibilities JOHN is named as executor in his late father’s will.

He seeks legal advice regarding his role and is advised that an executor has the right to make the funeral arrangements.

The funeral account can be paid from his father’s savings account and after the payment is made, the account will be frozen.

The power of attorney that John held prior to his father’s death is invalid after the date of death.

If there is a substantial amount remaining in the savings account, the bank may require a grant of probate to release the funds.

A grant of probate will also be necessary to deal with real estate and other large assets.

Otherwise, there is no requirement that a grant of probate is obtained.

The solicitor advises John that the costs of the solicitor acting on his behalf in relation to obtaining a grant of probate are regulated with reference to the sliding scale, based on the value of the net assets of the estate at the date of death. Any assets that are held jointly with another person are not included.

The probate costs are a liability of the estate and can be paid once sufficient funds are realised to do so.

John is advised that as executor, he is responsible to finalise his father’s tax affairs and that if he does not do so, and tax is in fact outstanding, he may be personally liable.

To be protected from other creditors, the solicitor must advertise his intention to distribute the estate and the estate cannot be distributed before the expiry of six months from the date of death.

John is advised that he has a duty to keep accounting records and that the solicitor’s trust account can be used to ensure proper records are kept.

John is advised of his duty to insure the assets of the estate until distribution.

Candidate Responses IN the 13 August Edition of Coffs Coast News Of The Area, an opinion piece was published from Margaret England.

The piece suggested five questions to ask in regards to potential Mayoral candidates for the upcoming Coffs Harbour City Council elections.

The questions were as follows: 1. Does the candidate live in Coffs Harbour?

2. Does the candidate have a record of public service?

3. Will the candidate be able to cope with negative media, for example Facebook without resorting to litigation which has the effect of silencing critics?

4. Can we be sure there is no financial or business advantage to be had in seeking office?

5. Can we be sure the candidate is not running for a particular political party?

In response, several candidates have provided responses to the questions, and News Of The Area hopes to receive more responses in coming weeks.

Tony Judge “1. I live in Woolgoolga.

“2. I am a crisis supporter at Lifeline and engaged with a couple of community groups.

“3. I will never litigate about a political comment, but I will engage in public

debate.

“4. I have no financial interests other than the house I live in, the car I drive and some superannuation.

“5. I am a member of the Labor Party and will run as a Labor candidate in the spirit of openness and honesty.”

Dean Evers “1. I have called Coffs Harbour home since 1994 and have raised three children here.

“2. I have never been in politics before however I have worked for a government organisation (Department of Community Services).

“3. I know I wear my heart on my sleeve however I believe I am very thick skinned when it comes to negative media.

I believe negative media is symptomatic of being in the public eye and you cannot please everyone.

“4. There is no financial or business advantage in my running for council.

“I have no personal agendas other than to continue to serve and care for our community, as I have done for many years.

“I do not own any property.

“5. I am running as an independent and have no affiliation with any party or group.

“I am not asking for nor accepting any campaign

Rodger Pryce “1. Yes, I live at Brooklana, in the Coffs Harbour LGA. “2. Yes I do, having been a member of the Council’s Strategic Planning Committee, President of the Coffs Harbour Pony Club and past member of Coffs City Rotary.

“3. Absolutely, criticism is fine. Telling downright lies in an attempt to personally harm a candidate, should not be tolerated and must always be outside of what is viewed to be acceptable.

of a trained and experienced expert with a reputation to protect.

If I sought a second expert opinion and it agreed with the first, then my confidence in the opinion would grow.

Our world heavily depends on having trust in experts and respect for their professionalism.

Yet increasingly we have non-experts making a very good living out of delivering loud opinions on everything

and denigrating experts in the process.

Often this is justified as the right to free speech.

If others are going to form beliefs or act as a result of these opinions, then there is a responsibility that goes with the right.

If, through modern media, opinions are spread to potentially millions then the responsibility becomes enormous.

The irresponsible exercise of the right to

express opinions by people who have no particular expertise is eroding trust in our nation’s experts, particularly at present those in health science and climate science, but also those in education and in the public service.

Our society becomes less harmonious and our present and future problems become more difficult to tackle.

John GRAY, Coffs Harbour.

Dear Katrina, ONCE again we are in lockdown and the pathways are full of born-again joggers, cyclists, power walkers and casual strollers.

Lockdowns seem to encourage more people to get active than any other marketing campaign has been able to achieve.

It’s lovely to share a hello or good morning with fellow enthusiasts, yet there may be myriad reasons why there’s no reply.

1. They didn’t hear you.

2. They are rude and ignorant.

3. They are worried about your potential Covid-breath entering their respiratory system.

4. They are listening to a motivational podcast using ear buds not recognisable to the naked eye.

5. They are still reeling from the morning’s doom-scrolling and can’t even muster the level of positivity it takes to say hello.

Don’t take it personally.

Don’t sarcastically say, ‘Well a very good day to you too, moron’ as that will only lower your own level of harmony and happiness. Just keep walking and take your chances on the next person.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Urunga Small Sculpture Prize winners

By Andrea FERRARI

SAWTELL artist Parma Keft has won The Urunga Small Sculpture Prize, a regional award for small sculpture, presented by Urunga Mylestom Chamber of Commerce and Urunga Art Space.

Parma Keft told News Of The Area, “My exhibit is a culmination of various aspects of my ongoing ceramic practice.

“I started with various conceptual ideas and possibilities, followed by

a process of continual experimentation, modification and adjustment until I arrived at a sculptural form and design which I thought was innovative and interesting, and which could be repeated in terms of scale and varied in relation to surface decoration and treatment.

“I was thrilled to learn my piece had been chosen as the winner.

“It is also gratifying to note the enthusiastic resurgence of interest in ceramics, combined with greater and more widespread

The Runner-up was Susan Romyn with ‘Waiting’.

Judge Leigh Summers told News Of The Area, “Whether viewers perceive ‘Waiting’ as an environmentally charged message or a maternal experience it remains beautifully conceived and realised.

Highly Commended artist Catherine Scarborough described the inspiration for her ‘Burnt Turkey’ piece.

Spanners Motor Show proceeds donated to Hope for the Homeless

By David WIGLEY

HOPE for the Homeless volunteer Mark Tanner has donated $950 from the proceeds of the recent Spanners Motor Show to Hope for the Homeless at the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club.

Hope for the Homeless founder Dean Evers was greatly appreciative of the donation and explained what the proceeds will go towards.

“This will go towards the Harbourside Housing and Homeless Hub, since

its establishment we have permanently been able to house nineteen individuals or family groups.

“We presently have four people housed temporarily so we are working intensively with them to find permanent housing, we have housed others temporarily who have then moved outside of the area or onto other programs.

“We are seeing an increase in the number of people losing their homes due to ‘no grounds eviction’ and those being evicted due to the premises being sold.

“Many of these are families with young children who due to the lack of housing and the increasing cost of rent are left homeless while they continue to apply for a rental property.

“Some have been looking for six months or more, domestic violence remains a concerning trigger of homelessness for women and children.

“Mark’s passion to help people is amazing, we are delighted that Spanners Motor Show was such a success, thank you Mark,” said Dean.

SAWTELL Catholic Care (SCC) is proud to contribute to the protection of the Coffs community by helping to protect the region’s Aged Care workers and the residents they serve.

In partnership with the Public Health Unit and International SOS, Sawtell Catholic Care will be hosting a vaccination hub for Aged

Care workers in the Coffs region.

There is currently a strong focus from State and Federal governments to have all aged care staff vaccinated with at least their first dose for Covid-19 by 17 September 2021.

This is a mandated requirement for all staff working within aged care

in order to protect the residents and home care clients they serve, along with themselves and their families.

After working with the Public Health Unit, SCC have been able to secure a vaccination clinic for aged care workers in the area, in order to help fast track the Covid-19 vaccination

NEW Listing 159-159A East Bonville Road, Bonville Auction Onsite: 18 September - if not sold prior THE sandstone entry wall is a tell-tale sign from the road of the stylish property to follow. Located on park-like grounds in a highly sought-after area, this beautiful 1.102 ha property has been updated to reflect a contemporary design.

A massive three car, freestanding garage in a charcoal colorbond hue, sits comfortably in the surrounding green space towards the front of the block, with an adjoining shipping container that’s been incorporated under the same roof line.

The residence also offers a single garage with a remote, ideal for parking undercover, while a sandstone retaining wall wraps to the right of the building.

Originally built around 1990, the current owners have extensively updated the property, while retaining the heart & character of the build, offering a streamlined modern look, which is given warmth from textured finishes such as timber and stone.

The entry hall flows into the main living zone, with its original slate flooring offering texture in a modern space, which is streamlined with a Zen feel.

Your eye is immediately drawn forward to the lush, park-like grounds with a central, deep blue in-ground pool.

A wood fire is central to both the open planned living and dining spaces, while the kitchen immediately captures your attention with sparkling black stone bench tops along with updated cabinetry, corner pantry, five burner gas cooktop, hot/cold Zip Tap and Bosch dishwasher, the kitchen also has an adjoining butler’s pantry with room for the fridge, while the unique timber panelled ceiling offers a rustic, warm touch to the space.

Completely separate to the bedroom wing at the other end of the home, the adjoining study/office is ideal for running a small business away from other residents.

The nearby laundry has an extra toilet; practical for when you’re entertaining, working from home.

Outside this end of the home, the warm stone touches continue with striking Travertine in the undercover entertaining area, which has recently been finished and has been designed to offer protection from the weather without compromising light.

Back to the entry and all four bedrooms are located to the left, offering a designated sleeping zone off a long hallway, with fans and ducted air conditioning another plus.

The master has a built-in robe and ensuite, which has been updated with a new vanity, toilet & shower screen keeping it in line with the other improvements at the home, while two of the other bedrooms feature walk-in-robes and there’s a built-in in the fourth.

All the bedrooms are a good size

– there’s no such thing as a B-grade bedroom at this property!

With timber-look vinyl flooring and beautiful views out over the grounds, the residents also have their own spacious informal living room at this end of the home, which is flooded with light.

Next door, the main bathroom has been extended to the size of a bedroom, with a series of opulent features.

You will be hard pressed to find a bathroom of this stature, with a stunning red cedar bathtub perfectly positioned to just sit back, relax and enjoy the views of the treed rear yard.

The bathroom also features an amazing rainfall shower with bench seat, a stunning red cedar vanity with stone bench top, designer lighting, heated towel rails and red cedar cabinetry.

In terms of comfort and convenience the house has automatic skylights which retract in rainy weather, some new windows, ducted air conditioning, tank water plus bore, fruit trees plus fenced paddocks and the land backs the highway, which means it's only minutes before you’re on your way to nearby towns.

This kind of lifestyle acreage is always in demand.

As four unlikely fairy godmothers, host Amanda Keller, DIY master Barry Du Bois (abovre right), energetic chef Miguel Maestre (above centre) and handsome vet Dr Chris Brown (above left) have taken to transforming both homes and hearts with their weekly makeovers.

Tonight, they’re turning their magic touch to a jaded working woman in need of some inspiration. In a stunning Cinderella-like metamorphosis, the team will revitalise her wardrobe, restyle her hair and turn her apartment into a palace fit for a princess. Barry’s weekly DIY project takes a wave of his magic wand (read: grout applicator) and some bathroom tiles, to turn a very ordinary coffee table into a trendy piece of decor.

The Closing Ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games concluded and millions locked down acrossa our country sat back in their couches and anxiously wondered: What will we watch now? With many of us staying home, following the myriad talented sportspeople has been a welcome distraction. Fortunately, the spectacle of the Games isn’t over, with 13 busy days of the Paralympics kicking off today. Featuring commentary from Johanna Griggs (right), and Paralympic gold-medallists Kurt Fearnley and Annabelle Williams, the team are live with sports including swimming and wheelchair basketball. All eyes will be on Dylan Alcott, who could make history in singles’ tennis.

Presented by Philip Mould and journalist and TV personality Fiona Bruce (Antiques Roadshow), it’s an intriguing mix of ingenious detective work, art history and good fortune. Tonight, the duo examine a powerful scene depicting the aftermath of battle, featuring fallen soldiers and their horses. It could be a work by Edwin Landseer, although the painting was believed to have been destroyed by a flood in 1928.

Could it have risen from the depths?

For divorced couple Kathy and Barry, confirmation of a Landseer painting could mean a $150,000 windfall.

Yellow-bellied Gliders take refuge in Kalang Headwaters

By Andrea FERRARI

A POPULATION of Yellowbellied Gliders has been discovered in a patch of unburnt forest at the top of the Kalang Headwaters.

Verified by local ecologists, community members and citizen scientists, the endangered marsupials have taken up refuge in an unburnt area of Oakes State Forest.

However, the refuge is in a proposed logging compartment.

Much of the surrounding forest was burnt in last year’s Andersons’ Creek fire, and the remaining forests now support a globally significant biodiversity since many habitats were destroyed.

Because the Yellowbellied Glider has recently declined and become locally extinct across much of its range in Northern NSW, there is an urgent need to protect and conserve all remaining populations.

The Kalang Headwaters cover the entire upper catchment of the Kalang River, the southern branch of the Bellinger catchment.

These forests are habitat for globally significant ancient Gondwanan biodiversity, store massive volumes of carbon, keep the Kalang River flowing and suppress high intensity wildfire.

As such they have been

proposed for permanent protection as part of both the Headwaters Nature Reserve and the Great Koala National Park.

“The Headwaters Nature Reserve will protect the headwaters of the Bellinger, Nambucca and Kalang Rivers from logging and will ensure a future for the remarkable Yellow-bellied Glider and a myriad of other ancient and

“We call on the Environment Minister Matt Kean to urgently conserve these ancient and globally significant forests for Yellowbellied Gliders, koalas, carbon storage and to make sure our rivers flow abundantly and clear into the future,” said

Jonas.

The Yellow-bellied Glider is now on the shortlist to be upgraded to endangered status in the EPBC act.

Vulnerable and rapidly declining, Petaurus australis requires habitat with abundant hollows, a reliable year-round supply of nectar, pollen, invertebrates and sugary exudates including honeydew, manna and lerp,

Blak Douglas wins Still at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery DUNGHUTTI artist Blak Douglas is the winner of the $30,000 Still: National Still Life Award 2021, for his sculpture ‘Silent Cop 2021’, a memorial to black deaths in custody.

By Andrea FERRARI

DUNGHUTTI artist Blak Douglas is the winner of the $30,000 Still: National Still Life Award 2021, for his sculpture ‘Silent Cop 2021’, a memorial to black deaths in custody.

Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery awarded its biennial prize in a virtual ceremony on Saturday night, just an hour after NSW lockdown

was declared.

Guest judge, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor OBE, the Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia made the announcement.

To a screen of clapping hands, Blak Douglas, speaking live from Redfern, acknowledged his Gumbaynggirr cousins, as a neighbouring cousin from the Dunghutti nation on the NSW Mid-North Coast.

Known for his culturally and politically charged paintings, Blak said, “I stepped outside of painting to create this piece because we are devoid of monuments, devoid of sculptures, of representations of first nations people across the continent.

“The artwork speaks about the abhorrent fact that we still have black deaths in custody and the Indigenous

Musos band together to Save the Red-C

By David WIGLEY

LOCAL musicians have banded together pledging their support for music and entertainment venue Red-C Events following a notification from Coffs Harbour City Council that an expressions of interests process will commence from 3 September 2021 for use of the space.

Over the last three years Red-C Events has been a stage for local performers ranging from seasoned musicians to emerging talent to play music.

The public showed their support by signing a ‘Save the C’ petition as concerns grew that the popular venue overlooking the ocean would no longer be used to serve the public.

Coffs Harbour’s John Swan who was the former lead singer of the Party Boys and founding member of Cold Chisel hailed the venue as one of the best in Australia.

“They are closing one of the best venues in Australia, it could get a constant flow of high profile acts, even overseas acts to our community.

“It seems to me they want to turn this venue and city into a developer's dream, but there really isn't a better venue with that view anywhere.

“Let's keep something for those who want to bring quality entertainment to our city.

“I do gigs all over Australia and for radio stations presenting shows that bring tourists from all surrounding towns.

“Hotels, everyone would benefit, don’t take this venue away from our good people who bring families and young folk together to eat and be entertained.

“But I guess you guys making this decision have long given up on fun and

entertainment,” said Swan who was appointed the Order of Australia Medal in 2017 and announced South Australia’s Senior Australian of the year in the same year.

After 50 years in the music industry, the older brother of Jimmy Barnes, who has a back catalogue of 11 albums and 18 singles with three number one albums and a number one single, urged decision makers to think to the future.

“Will this be the best view to put old folk in?

“I’m 70 and have been making music for 50 years, we need to look at what we do for the youth of our community.

“Please leave this venue for young up and comers, it's just sensational.

“Like your new council buildings, please no more flats, it's not yours, it’s the peoples, so leave the people something for the future otherwise our young won't have pristine assets to make these decisions, I love this city,” he said.

Swan expanded on the potential for the venue, which recently had a three day C-Side Blues festival scheduled.

“We built the Fringe and WOMAD to be world class attractions for many years and they will bring in the dollars for the city.

“A block of units or oldfolk homes doesn't seem to be a vision for the future, don’t sell off their inheritance,” said Swan.

Local Coffs Harbour band the Orlandos hope the venue remains open for emerging talent and seasoned performers.

“It is an uncertain future for RED-C, it has been a difficult 18 months for all of us, but Red-C has been the one of only a few venues open on the entire Mid North Coast during most of that time that we could all enjoy emerging

young talent and also well seasoned performers like ourselves.

“We can only hope that the format for this unique venue remains the same,” said lead singer Simon Gardiner.

Ted Danson's Forehead are one of the emerging talents who started their music journey performing open mic at Red-C. “It's a great music venue

q Teenage band ‘Minors in the Basement’ debuting at open mic at Red-C.

q Ted Dansons Forehead were given their first shot at performing at open mic at Red-C. and they gave us our first shot of performing at open mic.

“It is sad to hear what is happening with the Red-C, it is a great place for musicians to congregate and come together and perform not only for one another but also to a live audience as well,” said vocalist and keyboard player Jake Fitzpatrick.

Lead guitarist Tony Harvey said musos need a place to play.

“Red-C has been an opportunity for musos during the pandemic to get out and play.

“I’ve been gigging regularly for many years and with all gigs cancelled it’s been a blessing to perform there, musos need to play,” said Tony.

A spokesperson for Coffs Harbour City Council stated, “For some years, since the liquidation of the Coffs Harbour Deep Sea Fishing Club Ltd, Council has wished to advance the long term development of the site, being

Lot 22 DP 850150, Jordan Esplanade, Coffs Harbour.

“However, this is now logically dependent on the master planning of the broader Jetty Foreshores Precinct being undertaken by the NSW State Government.”

In 2018, following an Expression of Interest (EOI) process for short term tenure of the former Coffs Harbour Deep Sea Fishing Club site, Council as the then Corporate Manager of the Coffs Coast State Park Trust, resolved at its meeting on 28 June 2018 to negotiate and enter into a maximum three year fixed term tenure with RED Community and Regional Architects Pty Ltd. Due to the commencement of the Crown Land Management Act 2016 on 1 July 2018, which included limitations on transitional tenures, the three year fixed term tenure was provided as three, one year licences.

“The last of these one year licences (third year) currently held by Red C is due to expire

SCU PhD thesis on bullying and disabilities

By Andrea FERRARI DR LOUISA Salmon, a Coffs Harbour local with cerebral palsy and a wheelchair user, has recently completed her second degree, a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), focusing on bullying experiences for children with disabilities.

Louisa’s PhD thesis at Southern Cross University looked into the ‘Social experiences of children with disabilities: resilience, social identity and bullying’.

“I was fascinated with the idea that research

should be inclusive of all kinds of people, irrespective of their physical disability and I was hoping to make it more inclusive,” Dr Salmon told News Of The Area.

“Having a disability allowed me to bring a unique perspective.

“While I have some difficulty communicating, I am lucky that I can be understood.

“I knew other people who were eager to tell their own stories but were not able to express it themselves.

“Therefore, Council is now seeking EOIs from interested parties in a new licence over the site.

outcomes of the research I proposed to them.

“To me, this suggested I was heading in the right direction with my thinking.

“It is nice to know I enabled people to tell their story about issues that possibly might not have been specifically addressed before.”

Louisa investigated whether children with severe disabilities were less able to deal with stressful situations if, as previous research suggested, they do not experience as many stressors growing up as children with milder disabilities.

"The results suggest children with disabilities felt excluded by others," Dr Salmon said.

use in line with NSW State Government Jetty Foreshore Precinct master planning.

“The EOIs close on 3 September 2021 and will be evaluated based on achieving the highest and best use of the facility for the community.

“This is a process that will assess submissions across a range of community outcomes including economic, social and environmental as such there is no predetermined intention or preference except for best community outcome.”

“Further, my research indicates that children without disabilities might have little experience of interacting with peers with disabilities, and even less experience with those who are perceived as having a severe disability.

“Given that having good social support is an effective way for children to cope with bullying, this might explain why children with disabilities are less able to cope when bullying occurs.”

Dr Salmon is now looking for research assistant jobs in academia or government.

She is also keen to set up her own business as an advocate/mentor.

Groundbreaking recycling project for Coffs Harbour business FEDERAL Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan says a ground-breaking recycling project for a Coffs Coast business will capture the economic value of waste while driving jobs in key areas at critical times.

Coffs Harbour Paper and Oil received joint Federal and State government funding totalling $636,000 under the Recycling Modernisation Fund.

He said the successful local project was one of 22 recycling projects across

metropolitan and regional NSW and was part of $600 million national rollout of recycling infrastructure.

“This project is about easing pressure on our environment by recycling more materials including plastics, tyres, glass, cardboard and even coffee cups, and importantly it is about creating jobs and economic investment,” Mr Conaghan said.

“This project will create local jobs while increasing the state’s recycling capacity

by an estimated 120,000 tonnes every year.

“We can’t keep sending our scraps to languish in landfill when there are huge opportunities to turn our trash into treasure.”

Mr Conaghan said the funding and these new projects will help to boost our existing recycling capabilities, support innovative re-use of recycled materials and boost NSW’s overall recycling capacity.

Coffs Harbour Paper and Oil General Manager Sam Fifita said the funding will enable the business to remove more plastics from landfill “We will purchase a bale press and importantly concrete our yard to ensure quality control measures.

“We spoke with business and groups across the region and came up with a workable solution to recycling issues.

Happy ending after Powerful Owl fledgling’s takes a fall

By Andrea FERRARI A FLEDGLING Powerful Owl has been drawing crowds to North Coast Regional Botanic Garden, Coffs Harbour, in the past week.

Either falling from its nest, or in a failed early attempt to fly, the young bird found itself on the ground.

Rob Watt, Acting President at the Gardens, was on site when it happened.

“People came in to me at the Gardens’ shop saying the Powerful Owl fledgling was on the ground, and that it didn’t look well.

“We called WIRES and they came and had a look straight away.

“There was a rumour going around that if the fledgling smelled of humans,

the parents would reject it, and that the powerful owls might not come back to the gardens.”

With the bird potentially unwell, at risk of predators if left on the ground overnight and also dehydrating, WIRES made the decision to take the fledgling to the vet.

“It got a shot and was rehydrated and brought back very early the following morning,” said Rob. “WIRES put it on the lower branches and when they went down to check it later, it was on a higher branch which indicated to us that it was settling back in.”

“A little bit of history; we had a pair of Powerful Owls coming to the Botanic Gardens for years, and then about three years ago the

and great news for the recycling industry in the Coffs Coast region.

“As the ‘guinea pig’ for rolling out this innovative process nationally, we can’t wait to get cracking.”

Mr Conaghan said plastics will be collected from businesses including shopping centres, warehouses, showrooms and large farms, before being transported to an upgraded recycling facility and be processed to be sold for remanufacturing.

the Northern Beaches Blues.

The Grafton Tigers Under 17s side progressed to this season's grand final with a 10.9 (69) to 6.5 (41) victory against the Sawtell/ Toormina Saints.

The Saints will now play the Coffs Harbour Breakers in a preliminary final with a spot in this year's grand final up for grabs.

AFL North Coast’s Community Football & Competition Manager Paul Taylor stressed that last Saturday’s lockdown would not result in the cancellation

of the season.

“Today’s announcement of a 7-day, state-wide stayat-home order has posed new challenges for the AFL North Coast junior and senior competitions,” he said.

“Tomorrow’s Junior Grand Finals are postponed, the league will work with the clubs and Council during the week to look at alternatives to try and stage the Grand Finals

so that the competition can reach a natural conclusion.

“Similarly, next Saturday’s senior competition semifinals will also be postponed and we will work with clubs to identify options to complete the season once the stay-athome orders are lifted.

“This is definitely a postponement, not a cancellation of our season.”

Sport postponed by lockdown

By Aiden BURGESS

THE recent lockdown has had a massive effect on the immediate sporting landscape of the region.

The region’s lockdown has meant a number of sporting events scheduled to

be played last weekend had to be postponed.

All of the Coastal Premier League’s first grade matches in Round 18 scheduled for a 3pm kick-off last Saturday had to be postponed shortly before the start of the lockdown.

SPORTS

Last Sunday’s Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League qualifying semi-finals set to be played in Coffs Harbour also had to be postponed.

The lockdown was also a big blow for AFL North Coast’s best junior teams as their grand finals at the Ce.x

Coffs International Stadium were also postponed.

Another finals day to be postponed was the semifinals featuring Coffs Harbour Snappers teams at home which were set for last Sunday at BayRange Rugby Park.

Among many other

sporting competitions, the Hockey Coffs Coast season was also affected by the lockdown announcement with only 4 of the scheduled 12 games of the latest round played.

The lockdown has also meant a number of midweek competitions have had to halt their seasons, including Coffs Harbour Basketball

grand finals berth in a tough match against the resilient Marlins.

It’s been another stellar season for the Snappers going two years undefeated, winning two minor

premierships.

Team captain Greta Smith said the team had to fight for the right to be in the grand final.

“It was a really hard game and we had to fight

hard to get over the line to win the game and get through to the grand final.

“We are now in our second year at Rise Coffs Harbour and are setting ourselves up to become sustainable.

“The experienced participants are at a stage where they can share their

knowledge with the younger participants. “Giving them space to shine helps their own personal development as they are acquiring teaching, mentoring skills and communication skills, in addition they are gaining practical skills like how to structure a training session.

successful in winning the Nett Championship in a countback.

Results can't be much tighter than that.

The sixth Monthly Medal for this year was held on Tuesday and another close result saw Merryl Kyburz defeat Karen Bellamy in Division one with a better nett score from level gross scores of 96.

Division two was won by Dianne Scott 102/71, who hasn't played an 18 hole round in quite some time.

Great to see her back and playing well.

Runner-up was Lyn Reilly.

Division three medal winner was Cathy Anderson

who has been in the winners' circle regularly of late.

Newcomer Alicia Bailey was runner-up.

The best Gross Score was won by Merryl Kyburz on a countback.

The competition also served as a Match Play qualifier and the 16 qualifiers now have two weeks to complete their first round matches.

Good luck to all those who made it through.

Our pennants team went down to Bellingen on Monday last but still have two matches to play to redeem that loss.

Good luck to the team for the last two rounds.

The nine hole social Wine run is still played every week

and more players are taking part as the weather warms up.

The club is conducting clinics for beginners on three consecutive Fridays in September.

The clinics will be led by

our pro, Terry Perfrement and supported by club members.

Morning tea will be provided for the participants.

Bookings can be made through the proshop on 6654 2111.

The club extends our best wishes for a speedy recovery to our Publicity Officer, Marilyn Ely who is currently in John Hunter Hospital.

Coffs United ressies on the prowl for silverware

q Coffs United Ressies on the prowl for a premiership.

By David WIGLEY THE Coffs United Lions defeated the Coffs Coast Tigers 2-0 to remain top of the reserve grade competition before the remaining matches for the day were postponed due to the lockdown.

The Lions are seeking to defend their reserve grade title and their Tuscan coach Luca Paolacci wants to see more clinical finishing.

“We played well, especially in the first half, it was good to see the boys do what we tried on the training ground during the week.

“But we must improve in scoring, every game we have 10 to 15 attempts to score but only convert two or three.

“We will be ready for the finals if we are going to play them,” said the Tuscan taskmaster.

Lions right back Scott Cawley emphasised the importance of shape as he eyes another reserve grade premiership.

“We played very well against a tough Tigers side who are very strong

every year in reserve grade.

“We’re happy enough with the three points on a 2-0 win, but with two missed penalties in the second half, we really should have stretched that scoreline a bit

q Azad Qasim opened the scoring with Scott Cawley first to congratulate.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

further.

“Our coach Luca has been stressing the importance of our shape; in particular, keeping tight defensive and midfield lines.

“I think it worked really well yesterday, with a clean sheet for our efforts.”

Scott reiterated the need for accuracy in front of goal.

“We need to improve in front of goal and that will be our focus moving into finals, we have the players that can do it, with some amazing squad depth this year.

“We’re keen to see out all

of our games, three points in our last fixture against the Port Saints will secure us the premiership.

“Then it’s a simple equation, get over the semi final hurdle and straight into the grand final.

“There’s a few teams nipping at our heels, so we’ll be up for a tough battle, regardless of who it ends up being,” said Scott.

q Tuscan taskmaster Luca Paolacci wants to see more goals.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

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.

Sales, Installations, Repairs, and Rewires

Now’s the time to cut back all overgrown trees & hedges to get ready for the Spring!

PAINTING

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.
