marking and processing of the 2021 HSC ahead of schedule.

The Universities Admission Centre (UAC) released ATARs to students from 9am on Thursday 20 January on the UAC website.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said 2021 HSC students were able to access their results on Thursday 20 January, rather than 24 January as originally scheduled.

“This is a great outcome for our students, who we know are keen to receive their results and finalise their plans for the year, whether that be heading to university, training or straight into the workforce,” Ms

Mitchell said.

“Last year we announced a number of changes to the HSC, designed to keep students safe and provide them with an opportunity to show what they know in exams.

“This meant delaying the start of the written exams and subsequently, the date that results could be delivered to students and schools.

“I know markers, supervisors, exam and marking staff have worked tirelessly to deliver these final results, not only on time, but earlier than forecast, and I am so pleased we can share this news with students.”

The new results release date will give students planning to attend university

in 2022 the chance to optimise their preference selections.

Results were delivered by SMS and email from 6am on Thursday 20 January.

The ceremony for students who have achieved first place in a HSC course was live streamed from NESA’s YouTube channel at 11am on Wednesday 19 January and published on the NESA website, followed by the publishing of merit lists of Distinguished Achievers, All Rounders and Top Achievers at midday on Thursday, January 20.

UAC application course preferences are to be finalised by 11.59pm today (Friday 21 January), and on Wednesday 26 January ATAR-based offers will be emailed to successful applicants.

It was a polished performance of acting,

The dance ensembles were spectacular, ranging from uplifting island village dancing to the expressive ocean dance ensemble who combined contemporary dance, ballet and jazz to depict the mood of the ocean from calmness to fury.

Jade Naidu, Director of Naidu Theatre Co, said she was delighted with the outcome after two and a half years of preparation.

“I am blown away with the outcome, the cast have done a magnificent job, some have never performed like this before and have really outdone themselves.

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area “There is so much talent in the region, this is the best cast I have ever worked with.

“It's been two and a half years of preparation.

“We started the audition process nine months ago, it was such a difficult task and since then we have intensely been training, practicing and rehearsing.

“Storytelling is how we have communicated for thousands of years and as the show says, passing down stories from generation to the next.

“As much as modern

technology is helpful, it’s really important we don’t lose touch with storytelling and continue to tell stories, to teach our children, the next generation how to tell stories.

“Expressing yourself through song and dance is something we are all passionate about and love to encourage, it’s been a journey for the cast and production crew who have made new friends and shared storytelling with the community.

“We are towards the end

of our 16 show schedule and are all so grateful for the support of the community, for coming to see the show, share in the experience and support live theatre.

“Most of our shows have sold out and we look forward to finishing with a bang from our last three shows on Saturday 23 January.

“Thank you to the cast, parents and community for supporting live theatre, we can’t wait to announce what our next plans are next for Naidu Theatre Co,” said Jade.

Adolescent Nutrition matters long term that adolescents and young adults make, or are forced to make, about their diets and nutrition will have ramifications for their lives and for that of the planet.”

Director of Knowledge Leadership at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, Lynnette M. Neufeld Evidence said, “This series unequivocally shows the danger of inaction but also that adolescents have a lot to say about why they eat what they eat, and the factors that might motivate them to change.

“We must include them as active partners in shaping local and global actions that support healthy eating.”

HOYS Allied Health & Wellness in Coffs Harbour’s Accredited Practicing Dietitian, Melinda Olliver, told News Of The Area, “It’s great to see the Lancet highlighting the importance of nutrition

THE role of nutrition in adolescents and the effects of food choices they make are the subjects of new research written up in three papers launched by The Lancet medical journal.

Adolescence brings phenomenal growth, transforming every physiological system from the reproductive to the brain.

Adolescent growth carries implications for health through the course of life into the next generation.

Yet adolescent nutrition has remained invisible in government policies and actions, despite persisting problems related to adolescent nutrition, writes The Lancet.

Edward Frongillo, University of South Carolina’s Director Global Health Initiatives, said, “The choices

“This is a stage of tremendous growth and development, and good nutrition is truly critical.

“Even more importantly, teens who have a diet rich in wholefoods tend to carry on this eating behaviour into adulthood, reducing chronic disease risk later in life.

“So, it really sets them up for life.

“Teens have increased nutritional requirements.

“However, according to AIHW in 2017-2018, only around 50% of teens aged 15-24 years were meeting their daily fruit requirements and only 2-3% were meeting their vegetable requirements.

“Almost half (40%) of girls aged 14–18 had inadequate iron, and 90% were not meeting their calcium requirements.

“So, what can we do?

“Teenagers who eat with other family members tend to have a healthier diet, and reduced risk of obesity.

Conservation Society Winds Up After 50 Years

By Andrew VIVIAN

q The Ulitarra Conservation Society evolved into the Coffs Coast Bushwalkers (Coffs Hikers).

AFTER 50 years of advocating for the environment and bushwalking, the Ulitarra Conservation Society (AKA Coffs Coast Bushwalkers) wound up at the end of last year.

The group's name came from Ulitarra, the allpowerful Aboriginal guiding spirit who created the Gumbaynggirr nation.

Abusing the environment is said to invoke the wrath of Ulitarra.

Members of the Ulitarra Conservation Society began bushwalking together in 1980, exploring local parks and wilderness on a diverse range of walks and campouts.

In the 1990s they published ‘Making Tracks’, a guide to walks in the Coffs Harbour area and beyond.

Stephen Filewood joined

increased diversity.

“I find a focus on benefits teens will see now, is also important.

“Rather than discussing that a diet rich in wholefoods can reduce chronic disease risk, focusing on the benefits it will have on their skin, their energy levels, their sports performance and their mental health, can be more of

the Society in 1986.

He said that, over the years, the Society campaigned for the establishment of Bongil Bongil National Park, Solitary Island Marine Park, Coramba Nature Reserve and the Ulidarra National Park at Sealy Lookout.

Society members also campaigned for the Botanic Gardens to be established and some of the Society members were inaugural members of the Friends of the Gardens.

They planted koala feed trees in Toormina and formed the Jetty Dunecare group where volunteers worked on restoring the degraded and weed infested Jetty foreshores.

They also helped establish the Coffs Harbour Landcare group in 1998.

Mr Filewood remembers when there were water restrictions in the 1990’s and there was a proposal to install wells south of Sawtell.

He said that the Society President asked “Why not just raise the dam wall at Karangi?” and this is what eventuated.

Mr Filewood said, “Ulitarra was originally set up as a local conservation group, but has essentially been operating as a walking group for a number of years.”

Many of the new Coffs Hikers are former Ulitarra Conservation Society and Coffs Coast Bushwalkers members, who continue to explore the bushland trails around the Coffs Coast.

Mr Filewood said that because hiking had become the focus of the Society, “It seemed easier to wind it up and form a new hiking group.”

The Society’s remaining funds were donated to the Friends of the Botanic Gardens for a mutuallyagreed project.

Information about Coffs Hikers can be found on their Facebook page.

a motivator for teens.

“Choosing and enjoying a diet that includes a variety of foods from each food group, and including more wholefoods and diversity into their diet, as opposed to restriction, which is often seen in teens, will help teenagers to grow, develop and live a healthy life,” said Melinda.

Fish Frame Research

By Marian SAMPSON

THE Department of Primary Industries (DPI) are calling on anglers to donate their fish frames.

The fish frames from recreational fishers are required to help with the monitoring of Mulloway, Yellowtail Kingfish, Snapper, Dusky Flathead, Blue Spotted Flathead, Pearl Perch Spanish or Spotted Mackerel.

A DPI spokesperson stated, “We don't just want huge trophy fish, the little ones are just as important as the big ones.

“All legal length frames are wanted and will help with this important work.

“Data collected by this program will contribute toward ensuring continued quality recreational fishing opportunities for your favourite species into the future.”

The earbones (otoliths) are used to determine the age of the fish.

Age data is used to build a picture of the age structure of the species population.

This combined data details how many fish there are of each age in the stock, which helps evaluate the health of the species.

By collecting this data over time DPI can also see how the structure of fish populations in NSW may be changing.

For those that send in their fish frames DPI will send you a certificate with the age of the fish and an image of the fish's earbone and the anglers will go into a monthly prize draw.

If you would like to find out more about the program call (02) 4916 3827.

You can donate your fish frames at participating tackle store drop off point.

Parents rally for freedom of choice on vaccines WELL over a thousand Coffs Coast parents attended a rally on the foreshores of The Jetty that drew awareness to their call for freedom of choice over vaccinating their children, and to prevent the government from mandating Covid-19 vaccinations for all children aged 5-11. “(The) Reclaim the Line gathering on Saturday (15 January) was supported by around 1,200 local Coffs area parents and who have read the science papers, heard the medical professionals speak out and watched TV reports by government leaders that contradict the science, and they don’t want to be mandated to put this experimental drug into the developing bodies of their children,” Pauly Hansen, a concerned parent in attendance told News Of The Area.

C o m m u n i t y spokesperson Tom Searles told News Of The Area, “The rally in Coffs, one of many Reclaim the Line rallies around the country, was to raise awareness to parents that the risks of Covid-19 in a child is statistically near zero, while the risks of the vaccine in the short term are well documented and potentially fatal.

“The rally also focused on the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) suppression orders that have forced doctors to retire in order to be able to speak freely about the adverse reactions of the vaccines.”

The rally’s keynote speaker was Prof. Robyn Cosford, MBBS(Hons), FACNEM. Prof. Cosford made a range of arguments on the day against mandating Covid-19 vaccination in children, including claiming we have never seen this level of obfuscation of data and suppression of scientific and medical data, and that

available data confirms that Covid-19 is not a major concern for children.

“The community on the day was largely made up of Coffs Coast parents whose questions are not able to be answered by their own doctor,” said Mr Searles.

“By being at the wellattended rally at The Jetty they said they felt part of a bigger collective of good parents who ask questions.

“Personally, as a data analyst with an interest in history I find the magnitude of medical mistakes staggering.

“Cigarettes were once recommended by doctors to pregnant mothers,

Parents attend the Coffs Harbour ‘Right to Choose’ rally at The Jetty.

Thalidomide taken by pregnant women caused babies to be born with a range of disabilities and DDT was sprayed by our governments in schools.

“The difference between those historic events and this vaccine is that they all underwent more scrutiny and longer trial periods than this experimental drug.

“By our government's own data a child is between two and 50 times more likely to be hospitalised from the vaccine than Covid-19,” said Mr Searles.

NSW Health maintains that the Covid-19 vaccine is safe for children aged 5 to 11 years.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved the Comirnaty (Pfizer) vaccine for children on 5 December 2021.

Announcing the commencement of vaccinations for children aged 5-11 last week, Health Minister Brad Hazzard said most parents in NSW have embraced the public health messaging which has helped

the state’s child vaccination rates.

“Whether it be measles or whooping cough or Pneumococcal or Hepatitis B, parents in NSW have always listened to the science to help protect their kids,” Mr Hazzard said.

“No one wants to see their child in hospital and the best way we can safeguard our kids against COVID-19 and importantly, the elderly around them, is to get them vaccinated.”

That’s a massive drop of over 50 percent in beer sales for struggling venues, a clear illustration of the true devastating impact of the pandemic on Australia’s hospitality sector.

After a horror year in 2020 where pubs and clubs lost over $1 billion in beer sales due to lockdowns and other restrictions these latest figures from the ATO show that losses for 2021 could well exceed this.

The ATO recorded 903,982 litres of alcohol as having been served in beers over the counter in July-September 2021 compared to 1,993,027 litres during the same period in 2019.

71,357,931 pints of beer were sold from July to September 2019, with that number going

40 Million Less Pints Sold Due To COVID-19 At Pubs And Clubs IT’S no surprise that the hospitality industry has been hard hit by COVID-19.

However, the latest measure of the downturn is a rather interesting one.

Simply put, we aren’t going to the local for a cold one.

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) figures for draught beer sales in the first quarter (JulySeptember) of the 2021-22 tax year have shown that pubs and clubs sold 40 million fewer pints of beer in July-September 2021 than they did for the same period in 2019, before the pandemic hit.

postponed to August 19-21 due to current Covid-19 public health orders and a large number of participating artists and staff testing positive to Covid-19.

“After much deliberation, the River Sounds Management Team have decided to postpone the event in response to the increasing number of Covid cases and hospitalisations in NSW, and due to the reintroduction of capacity restrictions for indoor venues which impacts one of the Festival stages,” River Sounds Festival Director Ben Lewis said.

Coffs Harbour City Council has also stated that current supply chain issues across the State could affect the delivery of upcoming Council projects in the region during 2022.

“All critical functions are being maintained however it is anticipated that supply chain issues could impact project delivery timelines

down to 32,365,986 pints sold in July-September 2021.

John Preston, Chief Executive of the Brewers Association of Australia, said, “These figures show that the damage to our pubs and clubs from the pandemic actually worsened last year.

“On average beer sales are around 70 percent of alcohol sales volumes in licensed premises and a drop of this severity has hit pubs and clubs incredibly hard.

“We are calling for the Federal Government to use the forthcoming Federal Budget to reduce Australia’s fourth highest beer tax in the world to give pubs and clubs a fighting chance.

“We are very concerned that on 1 February the Australian Government will hit Australian beer drinkers with one of the biggest beer tax increases in more than a decade – it’s not right and it’s not sustainable.

“Other countries have been reducing their tax on draught beer to give pubs and beer drinkers a break.”

Countdown on as NSW Country Championships approaches SURF Life Saving clubs from regional NSW are finalising their training with the 2022 Oakberry Acai NSW Country Championships just around the corner, set to run from January 28-30 at the idyllic Cape Hawke SLSC on the state’s Lower North Coast.

Running for the first time since 2020 after COVID-19 unfortunately brought about the cancellation of last year's event, clubs outside the Newcastle-to-Illawarra catchment will converge on Cape Hawke on the last weekend in January to compete across a variety of surf sport events.

The Oakberry Acai NSW Country Championships is second only to the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships in size, with well in excess of 1,000 competitors, 200 officials and around 4,000 spectators expected across

the three days of competition.

Speaking at the official launch at Cape Hawke SLSC this morning, Surf Life Saving NSW Director of Surf Sports, Don van Keimpema OAM believed the excitement for the reintroduction of the event – the first time regional-based clubs have had a chance to compete at an event of this size in two years – was palpable.

“It’s a fantastic time of year – summer is well and truly here,” he said.

“The Oakberry Acai Country Championships is an important showcase for our regional members to compete, there are so many friendly rivalries between clubs but the really special thing is that it’s done in such a safe and fun way.

“We are excited to be at Cape Hawke this year, it’s a tremendous location that’s

WHEN Dim Zam Cing arrived in Australia from Malaysia in 2019, she couldn’t speak English, her health was deteriorating, and she was having difficulty finding employment.

Fast forward two years, and Dim has completely turned her life around.

With the help of her six children and not-for-profit training organisation, VERTO, she enrolled in an English course, found the medical help she needed and now works on one of Coffs Harbour’s biggest berry farms.

Dim credits this transformation to the help she received soon after arriving in Australia and funding she received from Disability Employment Services.

“I found it hard getting used to my new life.

quite central in terms of being accessible to our competing clubs, from Broulee Surfers in the south all the way up to Cudgen Headland in the north.

“It’s been two years since the last one at Cudgen Headland who hosted backto-back years and I know they’re eager to defend their title, they’re sending a large contingent down.

“We’re also looking forward to seeing the team from Warilla Barrick Point who have been working towards a plan for a number of years to take the title – it will be interesting to see the strides they have made towards that goal.

“Thank you to Cape Hawke SLSC for hosting, and to the local council for being so accommodating in getting this event together.”

In 2022, an extended

schedule will see competition run over three days instead of two, meaning a greater breadth of carnival competition across all age groups.

“One of the main additions this year is the Short Course Surf Boat Championship in addition to the traditional Long Course, which is just one example of how there will be more to play for this year,” Don added.

Surf Life Saving NSW has worked tirelessly with Cape Hawke SLSC, Lower North Coast Branch and Midcoast Council to ensure the Oakberry Acai NSW Country Championships are COVIDsafe for competitors, officials and spectators alike.

“We are leaving nothing to chance this year in ensuring that we will be compliant with the existing health orders,” Surf Life Saving NSW

Employment success for Dim Zam Cing “It was so different from everything I knew growing up in Burma and then moving to Malaysia. “Even putting on a seat belt when I got in a car felt foreign to me,” she said.

“I really needed to improve my reading, writing and spelling in order to communicate with Australian people.

“I enrolled in the Adult Migration English Program, and after approaching VERTO for support, started some driving lessons.

“These new skills have given me the confidence to face everyday challenges and

create a better life for my family in Australia,” Dim said.

After improving her English language skills, Dim found employment with Oz Group Co-op, which has given her independence and confidence.

VERTO’s Client Consultant, Helen Forrest, said the team was inspired by Dim’s hard work and dedication.

“It’s been a privilege to help Dim on her employment journey,” she said.

“She’s worked hard to improve her language and driving skills, and her new job has given her a sense of identity and purpose which has helped her settle into her new life here in Coffs Harbour.”

Chief Operating Officer, Phil Ayres said.

“We will be recommending teams, when in tents or in close proximity, use face masks, and there will be ample supplies of sanitiser available for participants and attendees.

“For officials, they will be required to take a Rapid Antigen Test each morning prior to coming on-site, and all briefings and gatherings will be outdoors.

“Importantly, there are also contingency plans in place should any key personnel develop symptoms during the event, with deputies on hand to replace them in the lead up or during competition."

Midcoast Council Mayor, Claire Pontin said there is a lot of excitement around hosting and looks forward to seeing thousands of people enjoying everything the region has to offer.

“We are proud to support

Surf Life Saving events and I am proud our region will play host to the 2022 championships,” she said.

“We welcome competitors and spectators to our beautiful region, to both compete and enjoy their time here on the Barrington Coast.

“We urge the local community to get behind this event and wish the organisers and the competitors well for the weekend.”

ClubsNSW, an everpresent supporter of Surf Life Saving NSW, is also looking forward to the event.

“Our state’s volunteer surf life savers work tirelessly to keep our beaches safe each summer — and now it’s time for us to cheer them on at the Surf Life Saving Country Championships in Forster,” CEO, Josh Landis said.

“Your Local Club is so proud to sponsor this event and we wish everyone involved the best of luck!”

Coffs Regional Gallery opens 2022 with Jan Allsopp exhibition A VIBRANT collection of artworks by local Coffs painter and ‘happiness enthusiast’ Jan Allsopp, is the first exhibition to open this year at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery.

Freshness and fun combine in a colourful show called Complex Simplicity, a solo exhibition of work opening on 22 January 2022.

And it’s a humdinger of a dynamic exhibition lasting almost four months, closing on 28 May, featuring a range

of inspired and inspiring activities including an Artist’s Talk, and interactive workshop: Drawing for Happiness with more to be announced.

Full of bright, happy colours, Allsopp’s works are the product of creating within self-imposed boundaries such as limited colours or scale of work.

The Complex Simplicity title refers to her multilayered works with recognisable shapes, textures

and colours.

“I’ve been lucky enough to have a sneak peek at Jan’s incredible work having spent some time with Jan in her home studio,” said Lisa Knowlson, Acting Gallery Museum and Public Art Coordinator.

“What really impacted me straight away was the vibrancy of her works, and the underlying messaging around happiness and mental health was very evident.

“We have developed a

number of fun and engaging programs including interactive workshops that I feel will appeal to people of all ages.”

The show is linked to Allsopp’s ‘Creating for Happiness’ – a resource the artist has developed around building both an artistic and ‘happiness’ practice.

Following two years of adaptation, creative resilience and various rolling changes, this exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to recognise

q Jan Allsopp’s Complex Simplicity show is the first exhibition opening in 2022 at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery.

the role of happiness in their lives as well as finding ways to embed it in their routines.

The show is offering interactive experiences such as allowing visitors to immerse themselves in layers of colour and embrace the opportunity to create like the artist by layering colour shapes on the Gallery walls in “the room without a roof” – more details to be announced.

Jan lives and works in Coffs Harbour and has a lifelong love of the Coffs Coast.

She studied painting and drawing at Coffs Harbour TAFE, graduating in 1993 and furthering her visual arts studies through Curtin

University, commencing in 2007.

In 2016 a move into her beloved family holiday home at Valla Beach saw Jan wanting to represent her happy memories and experiences in paint.

“I struggled to create something I felt truly captured their spirit.

“By switching from representational painting to non-objective painting I experienced an opening up of expressive opportunity.”

Jan moved her studio back to her Coffs Harbour home in 2020 and has since then been working to create the body of work you will see in the exhibition.

NEXUS Gallery’s new exhibitions

By Andrea FERRARI

NEXUS Gallery Bellingen is excited to welcome back two pairs of artists.

Tanja Karl and Laurence Crooks will be exhibiting in the Main Gallery, while Michaela and Dieter Kloeckner will be exhibiting in the Studio Gallery.

Both exhibitions will run from 16 January to 11 February.

Pause by Tanja and Laurence reflects the artists’ appreciation for their isolated studio on the headland of the Bongil Bongil National Park, which serves as an interruption to the over-stimulation of modern living.

Through print-making both artists come together, collaborating and exploring their individual expression.

Laurence’s Fauvist-style prints reveal his sea-faring experiences, in contrast to his contemporary screen-printed collages,

which contemplate horizons and headlands.

Tanja’s narrative paintings and printworks show realistic representation doesn’t always matter, rather, her gestural and colourful compositions are about creating emotive responses.

Coastal Tales by Michaela and Dieter Kloeckner reflects the impact their life in Nambucca Heads has had on their art having moved to the area some five years ago.

“The close proximity to the stunning local beaches has since greatly impacted on both our works,” Michaela told News Of The Area.

Objects found on walks frequently feature in Michaela’s ceramics.

Police to record Indigenous status

By Tara CAMPBELL

ARRESTING officers will now ask all peopleof-interest and victims of crime if they are Indigenous in a new policy change by NSW Police.

The NSW Police Force has introduced these changes to help improve data and create a fairer justice system.

Introduced on Thursday 13 January, it is now mandatory for police to ask all victims and people-of-interest if they identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and record the status in the police system WebCOPs. Corporate Sponsor for Aboriginal Engagement, Assistant Commissioner Joe

Cassar, said the changes to recording will improve justice outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people under the National Close the Gap Agreement.

“The mandate was introduced to improve the recording of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status in the NSW Police system.

“Asking allows us to improve safe custody practices, refer vulnerable people to support services and divert them from the criminal justice system,” said AC Cassar.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Indigenous people make up 27 percent of the average daily prisoner cohort in NSW, however, only make up about 3 percent of the general population.

NOTICE TO ALL WATER USERS

In 2020, the state government knocked back a recommendation from a parliamentary inquiry to try and achieve parity prison rates by 2031 and has instead reaffirmed support for the National Agreement on Closing the Gap target of a 15 percent reduction in Indigenous incarceration rates.

The change was introduced in consultation with NSW Aboriginal people and communities and after seeking advice from the NSW Police Aboriginal Strategic Advisory Council (PASAC).

Wiradjuri man and Deputy Secretary Transforming Aboriginal Outcomes at the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), Brendan Thomas, who is also part of PASAC, said the change is part of a broader vision to

Elemental Yoga at Never Never Mind in Dorrigo TALLOWWOOD Ridge yogi Summer Salt, an internationally qualified Yoga Therapy teacher/trainer and Zen Shiatsu practitioner, presented a community yoga session at Dorrigo’s Never Never Mind café space on Sunday 9 January.

The free yoga class is the first of regular Sunday sessions at this chilled venue, donated

by Summer.

“The five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Spirit offer a rich vein of complementary themes which work well through dance and yoga,” Summer told News Of The Area.

“This long, wet, cool summer season is providing challenges enough, let alone in the midst of the current global atmosphere, so even though often I would focus on balancing Fire classes at this time of year, I find many people are looking for a sense of solid and supported energy, and so my first 5 Element Yoga class this year drew on Earth’s ability to provide a soft, yet strong foundation.

“I loved the group who arrived for the session and stayed and connected over tea after the class.

“The feedback was wonderful to hear, even after ten years I’m still so delighted to see how people respond to this approach to yoga.

“What I love about Elemental Yoga is that it’s a powerful natural therapy which can be practiced at any level of strength or flexibility.

bridge from the tablelands through Bindarri and Dorrigo National Parks to Bongil Bongil State Forests.

“It’s almost like Forestry Corporation is testing us out.”

She said the 200 Ha of Tuckers Nob State Forest is approximately half native forest and half plantation.

Ms Firefly believes the little creek that comes through the compartment and then runs along her boundary will be filled with sediment once logging begins because, she said, since 2018, work can occur up to 5m from a watercourse.

She, and others, are concerned that the native forest sections of the State Forest will be treated in the same way as plantation sections and be clear felled.

A Forestry Corporation spokesperson told News Of The Area that the proposed

harvesting operation for 2022 in Tuckers Nob State Forest will occur in some smaller sections of a large area of hardwood timber plantations.

The spokesperson said these plantations were planted during the 1960’s and 1970’s with local native eucalypt species as a timber crop on areas that were previously cleared for agriculture.

The spokesperson pointed out that all timber plantations are regulated by the Department of Primary Industries and are required to be formally authorised under the Plantations and Reafforestation Act before any harvesting takes place.

She said that FCNSW is also happy to receive comment from stakeholders to consider as part of this review process.

Ms Firefly’s group, initially, is urging people to write to the company receiving timber from this compartment, asking it to check that the timber may not be sourced entirely from plantation timber.

She said that a briefing this Sunday, January 23 will take place from 10am at Lot 1, 133 Timboon Rd, Valery, for interested people.

New Year’s resolutions - setting goals that stick

By Andrea FERRARI

FINDER, the independent comparison site has surveyed 1,013 Australians with questions around how they are setting themselves up for 2022.

It turns out 72% of Australians – almost 14 million people – have set a New Year's resolution.

That’s 2.1 million less people compared to last year.

The survey covers various categories such as health, weight loss, money management and career.

For 2022 the survey found nearly one in three have pledged to improve their fitness and adopt healthier eating habits (30%), while 28% are motivated to lose weight.

These figures are a paring back of the weight loss and eating habits percentages of 2021’s survey, where over half the adult population (51%) hoped to improve their fitness and weight loss.

More than 3 in 4 (78%) Australians say they have set financial goals for 2022.

Saving more (51%) and spending less (32%) is top of mind for some, with investing more (24%) and buying cryptocurrency (8%) figuring in the data.

This compares to 2021 resolutions which report the lower figures of 42% resolving to save more money or reduce their spending in 2021.

The research reveals 7% of Australians – equivalent to around 1.3 million people – plan

The same number (7%) are hoping to find love.

Nearly 1 in 10 (8%) will endeavour to have a better work-life balance, while around 1 in 8 (13%) plan to sleep more.

Five percent of respondents want to start meditating.

Buying a home is on the list for 12% of Aussies, while 10% will try to pay off credit debt and 5% will aim to knock off student loans.

It’s hard to know what these figures really mean as opportunities and possibilities have changed dramatically over the past year, and again in the year before that.

Nevertheless, making a resolution or

setting a goal is a valid response to making a personal shift.

Coffs Harbour-based Professor Christian Swann, Chair of Discipline (Human Sciences), Human Science, Faculty of Health, Southern Cross University, who studies and lectures on goal setting told News Of The Area, “An alternative to setting specific goals that research suggests works effectively is setting open goals – they’re non-specific and exploratory, often phrased as aiming to ‘see how well I can do’.

“When you set an open goal, your focus is on your starting point.

“If your goal is to ‘see how many steps I can reach today’, then as your step count rises, it will feel like you’re making progress.

“You may start to think, ‘Oh, I’m already on 2,000 steps…now it’s 3,000 steps…let’s see how many I can get to’.

“Rather than comparing against where you should be, you’re constantly building on your starting point.

"That makes the process much more positive - and the more positive we feel, the more we’ll want to do it again and again.

“To set your own open goals, think first about what you want to improve (for example ‘being more active’).

“Then identify what you want to measure, such as your daily average step count.

“Phrase your goal in an open-ended, exploratory way: ‘I want to see how high I can get my average daily step count by the end of the year’.

“And then get started.

“With an open goal, you’re more likely to see progress, enjoy the experience, and stick with it until you’re ready to set - and achieve more specific goals.”

Event Saver funding supports organisers’ losses

www.newsofthearea.com.au

q Curryfest brings in around $2m to the Coffs economy and was cancelled in 2020 and 2021.

Organisers of major events and festivals that have been cancelled or significantly disrupted by COVID Public Health Orders can apply for funding through the NSW Government’s Event Saver Fund.

ORGANISERS of major events and festivals that have been cancelled or significantly disrupted by COVID Public Health Orders can apply for funding through the NSW Government’s Event Saver Fund.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the funding was a critical lifeline for major event organisers who have had to cancel, postpone or vary their events, providing them the financial security and certainty to plan and deliver their future events in NSW. River Sounds’ Festival Director Ben Lewis told News Of The Area, “The Event Saver Fund is very welcome, but it's also overdue.

“Major events in NSW have been in a constant state of disruption since Covid first hit in March 2020.

“River Sounds festival has been postponed three times as a result of Covid impacts.

“Each time the event is postponed my business suffers financial losses, as do the artists, event staff,

suppliers, contractors and vendors.

“To date, we have refunded over $60,000 in ticket sales, have lost $30,000 in expenses which cannot be recovered, and paid over $70,000 in artists deposits which will be lost if River Sounds gets cancelled.

“The biggest threat to the industry is event cancellations.

“If River Sounds is forced to cancel and or two days out from the event date,

the financial losses are significant.

“The Event Saver Fund is different to all of the support grants that have been available to date.

“It covers event organisers for losses which may result from an event being cancelled by a Covid Safety Public Health Order.

“This is fantastic news for the industry.

“The fund is in essence providing insurance to event organisers for event

Night-time shelter needs a home

By Andrea FERRARI CREATING a night-time shelter for homeless people is the 2022 goal for Coffs Harbour charity worker, Doris Cowan.

She is currently looking for suitable premises and has a potential interim plan.

Stepping into her calling to do missionary work in and around Coffs to help others as she was helped, this week Doris gave News Of The Area an update on her 3Rs – rest, refuel, recover – night shelter project.

“Late last year I remembered an organisation that I volunteered for in Bathurst where a trial safe space was set up, so I contacted them and started making enquiries into opening something similar in Coffs Harbour.

“As I became more involved in this, I witnessed first-hand how bad things were getting for all walks of life in the Coffs Harbour region and I knew then that

my life was saved for the purpose of helping others less fortunate than myself.

“I am hearing so many heartfelt stories that highlight the housing crisis in Coffs Harbour q Doris Cowan receives donations of clothes and bedding from Linda Williams, Founder of YogaLinda and Chair Fit Yoga in Coffs.

cancellations.”

River Sounds has been rescheduled for August 1921, 2022.

“Thankfully Baker Boy, Regurgitator and the rest of the amazing line-up have been maintained for the new event dates.

“Plus, the festival has expanded to run over three days instead of two and has an even bigger and better line-up.”

Full details about the new event dates and line-up will be released on February 1.

Keep any eye on the River Sounds website and socials for all the latest news, visit www.riversounds.com.au.

Pam Fayle, Chair of Curryfest in Woolgoolga, told News Of The Area, “Curryfest organisers welcome the major events lifeline funding announced by the NSW government and will be making an expression of interest in case the 2022 event can’t go ahead due to COVID. “As a community-run festival we have burnt all our provisioned funds in having

was unable to assist with suitable premises - yet they directed me to research Beddown.”

Beddown was started in Brisbane where undercover car parks managed by secure parking are turned into homeless shelters at night for thousands.

“I have organised meetings to hopefully have Beddown in Coffs Harbour

as soon as possible as a short-term solution where the guests will also get the help they need to regain a permanent roof over their head.”

In the meantime, Doris is fundraising and taking donations of nonperishable food, blankets, linen and clothes as well as giving businesses or individuals the chance to

to cancel the 2020 and 2021 festivals, so it is difficult to plan ahead without this sort of ‘insurance policy’ to back us in committing further funds.

“Curryfest generates significant tourism and delivers over $2million in economic spin offs to the local Coffs economy so we are hoping to qualify for this support and also hoping we don’t need to access it.”

purchase a camp bed from MOTackle “who kindly gave us a guaranteed price” and have their name embroidered on the bed.

Many businesses are already a part of the 3Rs project including Rotary, Oz Harvest, Russell Meats and the Happy Frog, to name a few.

“I am one of the lucky ones who came out the other end of a very debilitating illness and now would like to improve the quality of life of others.

“It has been a busy four months working on this project and by chance I was able to coordinate the Orphans Christmas lunch five weeks out of Christmas when I discovered that it was not being run this year.

“This alone gave me great networking with so many selfless community members who donated goods and time to make the day a success for around 100 people who would have otherwise not had a special Christmas.

“The feeling this gives me to give back is what keeps me motivated to keep doing what I do.”

Community connection at Wellness Market Day

By Andrea FERRARI

HARBOUR Therapy Clinic’s Wellness Studio held a Wellness Vintage and Market Day on Sunday 9 January providing free yoga sessions, market stalls, massages, food, coffee and door prizes.

“The day was wonderful, and everyone seemed to really enjoy the sense of community that the market created,” Rowena Bianchino told News Of The Area.

Rowena is the founding director of Harbour Therapy Clinic and the Wellness Studio and a practising psychotherapist, social worker, clinical supervisor and presenter.

“Apart from a smattering of rain in the morning, the weather was fab.

“We met new people and loved touching base with our team of instructors and massage therapists who were giving 15-minute massages for $10.00.

“The sound healing was a hit, and everyone booked to come to our next Ground in Sound event on Sunday 23 January at 4.00pm.

“The inspiration for these events was a response to

the impacts of lockdowns, on both small local artisan/ retail businesses and on the mental wellbeing of our community, having spent time isolated and anxious.

“We wanted to create events for the community where they felt safe, connected and included, and held our first Market Day in

“At the Wellness Studio we have created experiences of mindful movement for people who might be looking to find alternative ways to

“People appear to be more conscious of how important staying well physically, mentally, and emotionally is for quality of life and our regular classes form just one part of the

spectacular characters and scenes, but by the depth of emotion some of the stories brought forward in me.

Critical workers get isolation exemption WORKERS in designated industries including manufacturing, agriculture, transport, and emergency services have been given an exemption from current public health orders which mandate self-isolation if you become a close contact of a Covid-19 case.

A new exemption to the Public Health (COVID-19 Self-Isolation) Order (No 4) 2021 has been made which exempts a broader range of critical workers from the requirement to self-isolate as close contacts for the purpose of attending work only.

Critical workers from certain sectors isolating as close contacts will be permitted to leave selfisolation to attend work if they have no symptoms of COVID-19.

Workers will only be

eligible to leave self-isolation if their employer determines that their absence from the workplace poses a high risk of disruption to the delivery of critical services or activities, and they are unable to work from home.

These workers must wear a mask and comply with risk management strategies put in place by their employer, including daily Rapid Antigen Tests.

Any worker who tests positive or who develops symptoms of COVID-19 must self-isolate.

The new rules apply to critical workers in the following sectors: • Utilities which include electricity services, operation of energy systems, gas services, liquid fuels, water supply, sewerage, sanitation and drainage

services and waste and resource recovery services (including collection, treatment and disposal services) • Information and telecommunications • Social assistance and welfare services • Funeral, crematorium and cemetery services • Seaport operations • Air and sea freight and logistics • The operation of correctional centres and community corrections • A person employed

Art stopper – the new mural on Coffs Showground Gallery

q Look out for the finished mural as you drive by the Showground on the Pacific Highway.

By Andrea FERRARI COFFS Harbour Showground Gallery is showing a fresh face to the Pacific Highway with a new mural, completed over the holiday break.

The Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group (CHCAG), through Ash Johnston from Coffs Harbour’s Open Studio, engaged artist Gus Eagleton to work his street-art magic, and create a completely new outdoor visual for the CHCAG’s studio and gallery space.

Isabella Brandli, speaking on behalf of CHCAG told News Of The Area, “The group didn't commission Gus for a particular look but put forward some very general ideas for the mural.

“Gus drew up a loose draft of his vision and this was unanimously endorsed by the CHCAG committee.

“The mural has certainly achieved its aim of being eyecatching, with comments from members since its completion attesting to this: ‘The new mural looks amazing’ and ‘Very impressive’.”

Gus was born and raised in Coffs Harbour and has been based in Queensland since 2009.

He studied visual art at Brisbane’s South Bank TAFE and then continued on to do a degree in Fine Art at the Queensland College of Art (the oldest arts institution in Australia).

He’s been practising art since high school and shifted from his fine art background into large-scale painting

A New Beginning For Prolific Wordsmith NEWS Of The Area is excited to announce the arrival of former national Thomas Reuters editor Paul Fogarty to the reporting team.

NEWS Of The Area is excited to announce the arrival of former national Thomas Reuters editor Paul Fogarty to the reporting team.

Mr Fogarty has extensive journalism experience, with stints across newsrooms in NSW and Queensland, and is looking forward to covering the region he now calls home, having settled recently in Emerald Beach.

Alongside his work in journalism, Fogarty has been carving up the acoustic music circuit across Europe since 2008.

In that time he played 800 solo shows to packed houses in Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Zurich, Brussels, Frankfurt and Innsbruck.

He played to crowds of 10,000 opening for Status Quo in the Black Forest, warmed up festival audiences for Joss Stone and David Gray in Switzerland and toured with two-time Grammy winners Arrested Development.

Fogarty also established himself in the film and TV industries in Europe placing 40 of his original songs in

hit dramas, mini-series and movies.

Nowadays he is courted by major labels in the US and Japan and is currently working on a handful of songs for Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle.

A natural-born songwriter Fogarty wrote his first songs growing up on a farm on the Darling Downs.

“There was nothing ever going on on our farm,” Fogarty said.

“It was like living in a painting.

“Then suddenly during puberty all these songs just started coming into my head day and night,” Fogarty says. “I assumed that’s what everyone did when they turned 15.”

While studying journalism at the University of Southern Queensland Fogarty entered a campus talent show and won first prize.

Emboldened by the unexpected success he began playing gigs three nights a week at a nearby Mexican restaurant in Toowoomba.

“I wrote songs during the day and played them for people the same night.

It was an awesome training ground,” Fogarty says.

For the next decade Fogarty juggled his twin careers in journalism and music - finding success in both fields in Brisbane, Sydney and finally the Sunshine Coast.

After working as senior journalist for Business Sydney newspaper Fogarty worked an 18 month stint as national editor for Thomson Reuters in Manly.

“Straight after the 8pm deadlines I would race across the arcade, grab my guitar and PA out of my car, and decompress at my Rimini’s Cafe gig a couple blocks away.”

In 2001 Fogarty released his debut album ‘Breathe’ to rave reviews and airplay on ABC Radio National.

He scored a publishing deal and a large enough advance to record his second album ‘Stagefright’ which opened doors for him across Europe.

In 2008 after his third album ‘Born Naked’ was

“The uncertainty was the real killer.”

By St Patricks Day 2021 the writing was on the wall.

“I decided the only way to ensure the survival of my family was to get out of Europe and somehow get back home to Australia,” Fogarty said.

“I figured at least in Australia I could play outdoor gigs, beer gardens, festivals, fetes, farmers markets - whereas in Germany beginning in November it’s five months of sub zero and Covid was likely to stop all indoor gigs for the second winter in a row.”

Recently settled at Emerald Beach, Fogarty is building his career up from scratch again.

“I’m always focused on the basics,” he said.

“I work on the songs, make them bulletproof, I work on my stage show, my live performance, my guitar and piano playing, my studio performance.

“If you do your best work every single time people start to take notice.”

Musicians and Performers - 2021 Review

By David WIGLEY

DESPITE the pandemonium from the pandemic, musicians and performers on the Coffs Coast have been a shining light bringing entertainment and joy to the community.

Here are some of our favourite photographs and moments in 2021.

The talent show at C.ex Woolgoolga set the scene

with an impressive and diverse display of local talent that left celebrity local judge Jack Thompson with one of the toughest roles of his career trying to choose the winners.

OAM John ‘Swanee’ Swan from Coffs Harbour raised the roof at a charity gig in aid of Hope for the Homeless at Red-C Events.

Day with a bang, good craic and plenty of the black stuff at the Coffs Hotel.

The Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium classical junior and senior music performances went from strength to strength with shows every term and throughout the year.

At the end of August the NSW government announced a snap lockdown which was another setback for the industry to overcome.

After the lockdown ended, The Moonee Beach Hotel quickly brought back

live music as the Orlandos rocked the crowd.

Fire dancers and a haunted house spooked everyone out at the Coramba Hotel over Halloween and the Hoey Moey hosted an all-day Bluesfest featuring some of the region's most talented performers including Kailey Pallas, Nathan Beretta, Cold Caller and Slim Pickens.

New bars and venues opened in the region including the Woopi Brewing Co, King Tide Brewery and the Jetty

Beach House which brought hundreds of jobs to the area.

The new venues provided more stages for local performers to entertain and more reasons for Coffs locals and tourists to immerse themselves in the thriving entertainment scene that is traditionally more associated with Sydney, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.

The new venues benefitted local businesses through increased demand for local produce and new business opportunities

arose.

A new start-up was launched as The Barrel Run Custom Tours, providing experiences to locals and tourists, showcasing the venues in the region.

In December The Woolgoolga Performing Arts Studio capped off the year with a giggle from their rib-tickling satirical performance of the Naughty or Nice Christmas Special.

The talent on the Coffs Coast continues to rise and we look forward to sharing more moments in 2022.

$20 million to get rid of pests and weeds ON-GROUND management of problematic pests and weeds will see a significant boost through an Australian Government investment of $20 million, matched dollar for dollar by state and territory

governments to maximise impact and deliver collaborative reduction and prevention activities across the country.

Minister for Agriculture and Northern Australia David Littleproud and Minister

for the Environment Sussan Ley said pest animals and weeds pose a significant threat to Australia’s primary production, environment and biodiversity.

“Pests and weeds are a huge and

growing problem for Australia’s agriculture and environment,” Minister Littleproud said.

“Projects will reduce the overall burden of pests and weeds on-ground through activities such as coordinated control, destruction and removal, including trapping, baiting and culling along with biological control release.

“They will target nationally significant pest and weed species, such as feral deer, feral pigs, cats, foxes, rabbits, wild dogs and a range of invasive weeds across identified hot spots.

“I welcome the commitment from my state and territory colleagues to co-invest with us to address this significant issue.

Minister Ley said the funding would help better protect Australia’s unique environment from invasive plants and animals, as well as supporting the new Threatened Species Strategy.

“A reduction of pest animals and weeds will lead to more productive and profitable industries, and benefit native wildlife and the environment, including nature-based tourism industries and communities."

For more information see: Pest animals and weeds in Australia - DAWE.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Caveats and solemn form grants WENDY, aged 88, makes a will leaving her whole estate to her niece, Alice.

At the age of 95, Wendy, with the assistance of her other niece Jane, puts her house on the market, with a view to moving into a nursing home.

Wendy retains a new solicitor for the purposes of the sale at the recommendation of her real estate agent.

Wendy’s house is sold for $2 million and she moves into a nursing home.

After a short stay in hospital, Wendy makes a new will, with her new lawyer, leaving her whole estate to Jane.

A few years later, Wendy passes away and when Alice discovers that a new will has been made, leaving her out, she files a caveat in the Probate Registry and commences action in the Supreme Court, claiming that Wendy lacked the capacity to make a new will.

Alice subpoenas the solicitor’s file notes, which were unable to be located.

However, evidence is produced that Jane provided the solicitor with a draft will and hand-written notes regarding Wendy’s alleged wishes.

The solicitor is cross-examined at trial and the judge accepts that there was no reason to believe that the documents had been knowingly destroyed.

The solicitor also gives affidavit evidence that Wendy executed her new will in the presence of only the solicitor and his secretary and she was able to accurately and completely recite her details and describe the nature of her assets.

After a five-day hearing, during which other ‘lay’ witnesses gave evidence and expert medical evidence was adduced regarding capacity, the Court ultimately found that Wendy’s last Will was valid and that Jane was entitled to the whole of her estate under a grant of probate in ‘solemn form’.

The total legal costs exceeded $400,000.

DEAR Jasminda,

At my brother's wedding, our mother insisted on leaving my new boyfriend out of all the professional photos because she doubts the relationship will last.

It was humiliating and a bad start to what he and I feel will be a long relationship.

I couldn't say anything as I didn't want to ruin my brother's wedding, but I'm hurt.

Juliette W. Dear Juliette,

Bonville Subdivision Will Take Public Land and Access DEAR News Of The Area, I’D like to thank Emma Darbin for alerting the community to the ‘Large lot subdivision proposal for Bonville’ (p12, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, January 14 2022 Edition).

However, one aspect of the subdivision that Emma has not made people aware of, is that approximately two hectares of the land proposed in the subdivision is a kilometre long, 20m wide public Crown Land Road that links Bakker Drive Reserve to Crossmaglen Road.

In the southern section it does pass through the developer’s property but on the eastern side it does not.

The AS Engineering photo, shown in the article, does not depict the road but it envisages houses that would be built on it.

Council approved an 8-lot development in three stages on 11 April 2019, negotiating

RECENT letter writers to your paper, Liz Philpott and Mark Star, have totally missed the point when they criticize the Vinnies Shop for their pricing.

Everyone knows that to buy a cheap $5 tee-shirt you go to Big W, Target,

with the developer for a six metre fire trail along the existing Crown Land Road.

This incorporated a cycle/bridle trail maintaining the link from Bakker Drive Reserve to Crossmaglen Road.

This was a fair compromise and local residents supported this.

This new subdivision proposal totally excludes any public access from Bakker Drive Reserve to Crossmaglen Road and presumes all the public land will go towards developer lots and profits. The new proposed lots, roads and fire trails are designed to ensure no public access is possible.

The Council-managed Crown Land Road is a valuable community asset, allowing safe access for cyclists riding to Bonville school, Pine Creek Forest and Bongil Bongil National Park trails.

It must be maintained!

IN the days before digital media, this was a legitimate problem.

I clearly remember my nanna wanting to stick Tom Cruise's face over that of my ex-partner in order to retain the photo of us that took pride of place in her loungeroom.

Given the way the lounge-jumping, fist-pumping Cruise turned out, I think her choice was almost as bad as the person being replaced.

Now, however, not only can every average-looking individual be filtered into an unrecognisable supermodel, apps are available to remove people from the photo altogether.

You can, in fact, reinvent a backyard wedding photo complete with a mangy dog, dilapidated swing set, Uncle Joe with his gammy leg, and a bride showing off one too many tribal tattoos, into a classy affair with an island backdrop, guests including Jason Momoa, a carved ice swan, French champagne, and a bride so digitally enhanced that she looks like Adriana Lima.

Your mother could have protected your feelings and included your new beau in at least some of the photos, giving you the option to purchase the ones you wanted.

By strategically placing him on the far end of the line-up, removal would have been simple if your relationship ends.

If it makes you feel any better, given current divorce statistics, there's a fair degree of likelihood that several couples in the family wedding photos won't last the distance.

If this happens, you can offer your expertise in photo enhancement, removing all members except the mangy dog, who is a bit rough around the edges, but the least offensive family member in terms of personality.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

The many generous people who donate quality items and clothing are aware of this.

The Vinnies shop in Coffs Harbour is staffed totally by volunteers, with no paid staff, so comments like those of your letter-writers are quite hurtful as well as misplaced.

Regards, Leon WALSH, Coffs Harbour.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD NO evidence was called for Friske’s defense although the prisoner made a statement, which the Counsel was permitted to repeat, as it was ‘unintelligible and to a great extent inaudible’.

His testimony described how Mat Matteson had told him to sign papers

Defence, Deliberation and Destiny (Part 9) which had come from Sydney and on asking what they were, was told that the teamster, Thomas Duncan, wanted him to sign them.

Friske then explained how, after asking why he had to sign them and flatly refusing to do so.

Matteson exclaimed, “You won’t sign them, you old … “, and took him by the throat, knocked him down, placed his knee on his stomach and bit his hand.

Matteson then picked up a long stick and attempted to hit him with it, but he

ducked down to dodge it.

As the weight and impetus of the attack caused Matteson to lose his balance, Friske picked up the axe and hit him on the back, causing Matteson to fall into the fire, his arm becoming caught in the roots of the tree.

Friske then tried to pull him out but was unable to and became afraid.

Counsel for the defense then spoke to the jury, reasoning that Constable May misunderstood Friske during his confession, as everyone had trouble

Seeking Asylum: Our Stories DEAR News Of The Area,

SANDRA Moon’s excellent valedictory article about the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to two outstanding journalists is both timely and important.

As the Norwegian Nobel Committee reminds us, freedom of expression and freedom of information help to ensure an informed public, and these rights are crucial prerequisites for democracy, and for protection against war and conflict. The News of the Area has made a refreshing contribution in this space during 2021, which is admirable.

As we head towards the federal election in the months ahead, a relentless focus on truth in electioneering and on a media that is courageous enough to speak truth to power will be more important than ever.

This is particularly relevant in relation to the depiction and treatment of asylum seekers and refugees.

For the past two decades, we have shifted from a focus on compassion and our human rights obligations to one of fomenting fear and spreading misinformation.

Securing votes at elections, whatever the human cost, is now front and centre.

The potential presence of refugees has preoccupied the nation – from the Tampa incident, the ‘children overboard’ falsehood, and the demonising of asylum seekers as potential terrorists, rapists, thieves and job-stealers.

In all this fog of misinformation and scaremongering, the real stories of refugees have been excluded from the national narrative.

A new book, ‘Seeking Asylum: Our Stories’, put together by the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, seeks to redress the balance through the voices and stories of real refugees who have arrived in Australia during the past twenty years.

The twenty-three people who tell their stories in this beautifully illustrated book have one thing in common, in that all of them had been forced to flee their homeland.

Thereafter, each of their stories is unique and deeply personal.

When Ghofran was just nine years old, her family was forced to flee Iraq.

She spent six years in a refugee tent in

the Saudi Arabian desert, before arriving in Australia at the age of twenty with no English and limited education.

But, like so many refugees, she was determined and resilient.

She was eventually awarded a Bachelor of Science degree with high distinction, and later completed her PhD. She now works as a university lecturer, training biomedical students on their way to becoming doctors.

Another refugee, Danijel, tells us that he has gone from milking cows in a war zone to representing blue-collar workers in Australian courts.

It is important that the stories of refugees are heard.

To that end, some members of our local refugee advocacy group have

understanding him during the trial, particularly as the confession was given after no sleep the night before and a glass of spirits on an empty stomach.

He also pointed out that Friske and Constable May’s statements were identical in every detail but one and at most, was only a case of manslaughter and “it was only a question of whether his actions were justifiable at that”.

The jury retired at 6:40pm and after two and a half hours of deliberation, returned their verdict of guilty.

The sentence of death was then passed on Friske and the Court adjourned.

The prisoner was taken back to Grafton Gaol, where he was immediately put in irons and placed in a separate cell.

purchased copies of the book for our local libraries.

These have now been presented to Macksville, Nambucca, Urunga and Bellingen libraries.

We do hope that members of our communities will enjoy reading the refugees’ stories, which will hopefully contribute to a better and more empathetic understanding of the issues, and help us to respond with greater compassion and humanity to these people.

They are seeking a hand up, not a handout, and, with support, have so much to offer to Australian society.

Let these stories be an antidote to the inevitable drumbeat of racism and fear as the federal election approaches.

Regards, Mike GRIFFIN, Valla Beach.

Community and kind-hearted people are the style du jour in this heartwarming British series. Based on the novels of James Herriott about a young vet in the 1930s working in the Yorkshire Dales, the books are so popular that they have been in print since their debut in the 1970s. Starring newcomer Nicholas Ralph as Herriott, it’s perfect viewing for our divided world. In “You’ve Got to Dream”, Herriott discovers that treating the animals is as much about treating their owners. Featuring cute animals, idyllic scenery, and lighthearted stories, its well-timed fare.

The haka is New Zealand’s hugely respected and powerful war dance often performed as a pre-game ceremony at sporting matches.

It is electric, symbolic and a force to be reckoned with.

Since 2012, a group of Indigenous Australian NRL players have been developing their own response to the haka that includes movements that reflect cultural symbols – the clan, the warrior and the spear. In this documentary, we follow the players as they try to convince high-profile players to join in so the dance can be performed at The Vigil, the Survival Day ceremony held at the Barangaroo headland.

PAUL GOES TO HOLLYWOOD

SBS FOOD, 7.30pm

As a much-loved judge on The Great British Bake Off for more than a decade, Paul Hollywood looks absolutely rapt to be venturing out of the kitchen and onto his beloved motorbike in this new travel and cooking series, premiering tonight. It’s a novelty to see the British baker not donning an apron, but full-on riding gear as he ventures out on a culinary trip from New York to Los Angeles. In New York, Paul follows in the culinary footsteps of Frank Sinatra, indulging in bagels and twice-baked pizza.

Coffs Harbour born footballer selected to Matildas Asian Cup squad

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour born footballer Clare Wheeler has been named in the Matildas squad for the upcoming Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women’s Asian Cup in India.

The 24-year-old is part of the 21-player squad who will take on Asia’s best at the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup.

Wheeler and the Matildas begin their Asian Cup campaign on Friday, 21 January against Indonesia in Mumbai, with Australia also playing the Philippines and Thailand in their group stage matches.

Wheeler’s selection for the Matildas Asian Cup squad comes on the back of a breakthrough 2021 for the

midfielder.

She made her Matildas debut in a friendly against Ireland in September, and would go on to play four more matches for the Matildas before year's end including two internationals against world champions USA in Australia.

Coming on as a late substitute in the second game

against the USA, Wheeler played a vital role in leading to the late equaliser and subsequent 1-1 draw.

Her vital tackle and stoppage of a USA attacking raid led to the Kyah Simon equaliser in the 88th minute.

The Matildas midfielder was born in Coffs Harbour but grew up playing her junior football in Newcastle, when

at the age of just 15 she made her big-time debut playing for the Newcastle Jets in the 2013-14 W-League season.

Wheeler will be part of a Matildas squad looking to win the Women’s Asian Cup for a second time after runners-up finishes in the last two tournaments in 2014 and 2018.

After a fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics, Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson said he was

Coffs swimmers record top results at open water event in Sydney By: Aiden BURGESS

A TOP-CLASS team of five Coffs Harbour swimmers who are amongst the state’s best juniors have produced great performances at a recent open water event at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

Off the back of winning the Hat Head 2.5km event earlier that week, Mitchell Hickey swam the 10km event.

He asserted his dominance over the field early in the race and led the entire men’s open water field from the start, winning the event by over 5 minutes.

Lilly Geddes took out the 7.5km event, winning gold in a really strong swim in just her second time competing in the event.

q Coffs Harbour swimmers at the open water event at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. Mitchell Hickey, Andrea Thomson, Lilly Geddes, Piper Phillips and Isaiha Phillips.

Piper Phillips in her very first 5km swim won the 12 years girls 5km event.

Not only did she win, she won in a time that qualified her to compete at both state and national championships which is a phenomenal achievement.

Not many girls under the age of 13 compete in the 5km event, so to qualify for state and nationals 12 months before you’re eligible to compete is exceptional.

Piper has watched both her brothers compete in open water these last 12 months and has dreamed of being able to compete and excelled when she finally got the opportunity.

Team mate Andrea Thomson also qualified for her first national event,

confident his team would excel once again at a major tournament.

“The AFC Women’s Asian Cup is a prestigious tournament in which Australia has a proud history,” he said.

“It is a hotly contested competition in one of the toughest confederations in women’s football and we are ready to take on the challenge of some very good nations head on.” taking out silver in the 13 years girls 5km event in just her second time competing in open water, and her first time competing in the 5km event.

Isaiha Phillips competed in his first 10km event, coming in fourth in a really strong swim behind some very experienced open water swimmers which is a great result given this was his first attempt at the 10km.

The squad’s coach Sarah-Jane Weir praised the performances of her team's efforts in the open water event in Sydney.

“For our team to walk away with three gold and one silver is just amazing, they all swam incredibly well and their results were exceptional,” she said.

“I’m so incredibly proud of them all and so excited to see them compete at the upcoming National Open Water Championships at the end of the month at Adelaide’s Brighton Beach in South Australia.”

Myanmar United win Brisbane tournament q

By: Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour’s Myanmar community have showcased their football skills by winning an invitational tournament in Brisbane.

Myanmar United won last weekend’s tournament after receiving an invite from the Karenni community of Queensland to participate in their annual 7-a-side competition.

Myanmar United are a team based in Coffs Harbour comprising players from the local Myanmar community.

Myanmar United player John Omtha explained to News Of The Area the importance of the team and football to the Myanmar community of Coffs Harbour.

“Our Coffs Myanmar community has been hoping for unity amongst different ethnic groups and one of the ways that we can achieve that is through our football team,” he said.

“Myanmar United

represents individuals from different ethnic groups who have formed together to overcome the differences and create an understanding amongst each other not just in football but also in our outside lives.”

Myanmar United won the Brisbane invitational tournament in emphatic style, as John Omtha described to News Of The Area.

“The tournament went on for the whole day in a scorching Brisbane heat, and our team won every game in our group stage with strong score lines without conceding any goals,” he said.

“We advanced to the grand final after winning our game 3-0 in which we dominated; however, the grand final was a much different game since the other team were also very strong and consisted of highly skilled players.

“The boys fought for

every duel and for every second of the game to finish the game 3-1 in our favour and we were crowned champions.”

Omtha said his team

relished the challenge of facing top opposition in Brisbane and prepared accordingly.

“The team was thrilled to receive the invitation and has

been longing for challenges so we started preparing for the tournament most afternoons even with work and other commitments, we played together and had

Sawtell and Valleys Cricket victorious in the latest round of Premier League season By: Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL and Valleys Cricket have started 2022 in winning style with victories in the latest round of the North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season.

Sawtell had a 45-run win at home in their oneday match against the Northern Districts Rebels

at Richardson Park, while Valleys Cricket beat Coffs Colts by 7 wickets at the Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park.

Defending premiers Sawtell recorded their first win of the Premier League season, through no fault of their own after having the opening round bye and their next three matches washed out.

Sawtell opened the batting in their Round 5 match with the Northern Districts Rebels and finished at 9/179 from 40 overs.

Richie Gallichan top scored with a vital captain’s knock of 42, while opener Trent Mitchell was next best with 35.

Ian Slapp was the best of the Rebels bowlers taking 2/21 from his 8 overs.

Needing 180 for victory, the Rebels were bowled out for 134 with Sawtell’s bowlers proving to be the difference.

Richie Gallichan secured man of the match honours with a super spell of 3/3 from his 2 overs.

Tomas Neal took 2/12 from his 3 overs while David Schutt took 2/27 from his 6 overs.

Nana Glen win Lachie Dew Trophy

By David WIGLEY

NANA Glen Cricket Club defeated Diggers Cricket Club by 86 runs to win the Lachie Dew trophy and go top of the First Grade ladder last Saturday at Fitzroy Oval.

Nana Glen won the toss and elected to bat first and came under an early attack as Harry Cross smashed the bails off the stumps bowling out Wade Secomb for eight runs.

Ruben Carey continued the momentum dismissing Dan Craig for two runs with a fine catch from Thomas Luchetti.

After surviving an early onslaught the Nana Glen middle order punished loose balls as Brad Neary changed the course of the

match scoring 63 runs from 75 balls with Tim Anderson scoring 27 runs and Beau Guthrie scoring 16 runs to set a formidable total of 173 runs.

Thomas Luchetti opened the batting for Diggers and scored 16 runs before being bowled by Josh Lansdowne.

It was all downhill from there on for last year’s Premiers as the fierce Nana Glen bowling attack dismissed Diggers for 87 runs, winning by a comfortable margin to go top of the ladder.

Nana Glen captain Nick Stanlan-Velt praised the team’s performance.

“The team worked through a fantastic fight back with the bat, we went down 4 wickets early, but I knew we had the batting

Ian Slapp was the best of the Rebels batsman finishing on 48.

Valleys Cricket also earned a victory in Round 5 with a 7 wicket win in their one dayer against Coffs Colts.

Set 188 for victory, Valleys Cricket reached the target in the last over.

depth to find a good partnership eventually, that came from Brad Neary 63 and Tim Anderson 27, putting on a strong partnership of 62 in those tough middle overs where it was crucial we kept wickets for late in the game.

“Bowling honours went to vice-captain Ben Watson getting 4/5 off 8 overs, and Josh Lansdowne 3/24 off 8 overs.

“Winning this game meant we took out the Lachie Dew trophy, which is a trophy won for each top level graded game versus Diggers.

“Lachie was a fantastic player and member of both clubs and it’s an honour for the loyal Nana Glen community to see this trophy in our cabinet,” said Stanlan-Velt.

Diggers captain Jonathan Paff told News Of The Area that Nana Glen are

this year’s favourites.

“We got off to a good start but they came out after drinks being 4/60 and ended up making 174.

“We struggled a bit I

think because we haven’t played much cricket at all this season and blokes were a bit underdone.

“Reuben Carey bowled well early and was hard to

play on what was a pretty flat deck.

“Ben Watson bowled really well for them and we just never got going, Nana will be premiership favourites now.

“We need to get a lot better,” said Paff.

Veteran wicketkeeper Steve Meakins made a return to first grade cricket for Diggers and told News Of The Area his team were outplayed. “(We were) comprehensively outplayed, the boys bowled pretty well, dropped several chances though at key points and were probably chasing 40-50 more runs than we should have been.

“Batting innings never really got going, especially mine,” said Meakins.

Council honours swimmer Maddie McTernan TOKYO Paralympic Silver medalist and former Coffs Harbour swimming star Madeleine McTernan has been presented with a certificate of appreciation on behalf of Coffs Harbour City Council for competing in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic games.

The presentation took place before the Coffs Harbour Summer Splash last weekend (15-16 January).

Councillor George Cecato made the presentations which included a beautiful gift by Mullaway artist Tulli Stevens, a proud Gumbaynggirr woman.

Maddie and her family

came back to Coffs Harbour to personally thank the Coffs Harbour Swimming Club, her former coach Eugene Brogmus, and the Coffs Harbour public for their kind support when she was competing at 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games.

Maddie presented plaques, memorabilia and swimsuits to Eugene and the Coffs Harbour Swim Club.

“It’s important to me to give back to those that contributed to my journey in winning my silver medal at the Tokyo paralympic games,” said Maddie.

“Eugene and Coffs Harbour Swim Club built a strong foundation for me

“Now, it’s my turn to give back and help the next generation of Coffs swimmers to hopefully achieve their dreams and hopefully they too can go on to represent Australia.”

Maddie further stated, she was so humbled to have so many swimmers and parents queuing up to have a photo with her with her silver medal and also signing numerous autographs.

“Maddie is so appreciative and overwhelmed for receiving the gifts from the Coffs Harbour City Council,” said Maddie’s mum Allison.

“I am looking forward to seeing what Maddie will achieve for Australia in 2022.”

Coffs Harbour Swimming Club President Daniel Bannerman said, “The Club was overwhelmed

by Maddie and her family’s generosity.

“In honour of both Maddy Gough and Maddie

McTernan, the club have dedicated both a 1500m freestyle and 100m Backstroke trophy and plaque.”

Paul McTernan said, “It’s time for Maddie and our family to give back to both the Coffs Harbour Swimming Club and the Coffs community by helping to inspire the next generation of swimmers coming through.

“It was fantastic to hear the Coffs Harbour City Council investing monies to provide the Coffs Harbour Memorial Olympic pool

with solar heating, this is a great investment providing quality facilities to train at.

“If the Council invests in new Olympic starting blocks and backstroke wedges in the near future, this will attract and also keep the best swimmers and coaches in Coffs Harbour, instead of them moving to Queensland.

“The 2032 Brisbane games is only ten years away, it’s time to invest in Coffs swimming talent as I am confident a swimmer from Coffs Harbour will be competing at 2032 games.”

Lane and co 27-16.

Sunday’s Semi Finals saw Blow vs Wilson and Farmer vs Wren.

Blow held a narrow lead for the majority of the match, finishing in a flourish to win 18-9.

Farmer got out of the blocks quickly in the second semi-final however Wren rallied to stay in contention.

But in the end it was Farmer’s side who dominated over the closing ends, 27-12 victors.

The first of the new championships for 2022 got underway Sunday afternoon, being the Club Minor Triples.

With the format being set play, and teams entitled to a ‘double points’ Power Play each set, it promised to be exciting.

The sets play format certainly kept it interesting, with one match seeing the winning side skippered

by Russell Lane draw the first set and then win the second over Jake Wills team, while the other three first round matches all went to a third set decider.

Kim Kaaden, playing with the

Wisely brothers, managed a hard fought win in the third set over Darren Lindner’s team. A well timed power play in the decider got Dave Wilson’s team over the line against Jeff Thorn’s team.

And finally Keith Morrison recovered from a first set shellacking at the hands of the fancied Des Hull’s team to win the second and third sets to advance to the quarter finals next week.

By all accounts the bowlers enjoyed the quicker dynamic format and the quarter finals should be an exciting event to watch Plenty to look forward to next weekend, with the first Final of the year on Saturday, being the Major Fours, where Graeme Power, Jim Phillips, Cam Wills and Tom Blow will play Ron Wisely, Robbie Baker, Kim Kaaden and Rod Farmer.

Sunday will see another new event, being the club selected fours, and also the minor triples quarter finals will be played in amongst it all as well!

If compensation under the LAJTC Act is not on just terms, the holder of any native title rights and interests is entitled to compensation for the acquisition in accordance with Division 5, Part 2 of the NT Act. A claim for compensation form will be available from TfNSW after the giving of any proposed acquisition notice.

Find me on Facebook or 0407858640, srrncn@outlook.com
