“In my time I have seen the banana industry go from 1000, 40 years ago, to now only 20, so the situation is serious,” Mr Tate said.

“We have some of the best soils in NSW, an amazing climate and a growing population, and if we don’t act soon, we really won’t have much of an agriculture industry left in Coffs Harbour, so I support the Greens ‘Grow the Growers’.”

“This idea fits perfectly with Council’s MyCoffs Community Strategy, especially considering our area as a leader in sustainable agriculture, building community connections and providing economic opportunities,” he said.

Long-time Korora banana grower, David Tate, supports Mr Cassell and said he also would also like to see Council promote and develop a strong local market for small-scale producers.

“Growers need more help and Council could make a massive difference and really help smaller farmers remain viable,” he said.

Mr Tate said that he would like to see Council consider a land share strategy.

He pointed out that there are plenty of

‘sea changers’ with five-acre properties who are not farmers and many young farmers who don’t have land, and that linking them would have benefits for both.

$44m C.ex CBD highrise approved The 13-storey building will be located opposite C.ex Coffs at Harbour Drive and involves the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a 13-storey

tower including 7 ground floor shops, 95 residential apartments on eight upper levels in a stepped, cascading building form, 154 car parking spaces on three

Wintergardens will be provided for 24 of the residential apartments,

where balconies are enclosed with glazing to provide additional shelter and warmth during the colder months.

The retail premises will accommodate typical retail or food and beverage uses.

The highrise will have dual frontage to both Harbour Drive and Vernon Street and will occupy three existing properties including the City Boulevard Arcade and adjoining retail premises.

The site adjoins a twostorey vacant commercial building (formerly The Kitchen Shop), the Cinema Walk Arcade and Jack Simmons Centre.

The development is expected to encourage further development in the City Centre in response to expected district growth, the Pacific Highway Bypass,

and City Centre developer incentives for employment generation and residential projects.

The Northern Regional Planning Panel approved the development and stated that the development had an “appropriate height and density” and was consistent with Coffs Harbour City Council’s Compact City development strategy.

“The proposal will add to the stock and diversity of housing availability in the locality and will contribute to improved housing affordability,” approval documents stated.

“The proposal will be socially beneficial.”

Coffs Harbour City Council expressed its support of the development to the Northern Regional Planning Panel to assist with its determination of the development.

“Approval of the application is considered to be in the public interest as it will provide additional housing and business opportunities while ensuring Coffs Harbour’s position as an eminent regional centre,” Council stated.

“This grant program is a great indicator of what a vibrant, engaged community we are and what a great quality of life we have,” Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Denise Knight said.

“The members of these groups who put so much work and commitment into achieving better facilities deserve an enormous round of applause. They’re all amazing.”

The objectives of

the Building Together: Community Infrastructure Grants are for Council to assist in the provision of innovative community projects that target community needs and result in direct benefits to the wider community, assist in increasing the participation, accessibility and range of community organisations for the residents of the Coffs Harbour City Council area, provide a consistent, equitable and transparent process to respond to requests by community organisations for funding of capital infrastructure, and encourage partnerships and joint ventures.

Mayoral candidate slams Council managers’ “culture of secrecy” COFFS Harbour Mayoral candidate Tony Judge and the Labor Council Team have slammed Council’s senior managers for a “lack of accountability” over waste management and other issues in the region.

“The recent refusal by senior Council managers to issue a full explanation of their efforts to solve the Coffs Harbour waste crisis shows an extraordinary lack of respect for Councillors and a total disregard for accountability,” Tony Judge said.

Crs Tegan Swan and Sally Townley requested a summary of Council’s actions relating to waste management in the Coffs Harbour region at last night’s Council meeting on Thursday 22 July, including a list of discussions, negotiations, offers, tenders and current contracts with Council, and Council’s total legal costs.

Council staff stated in a report that a number of these directives are “most likely impossible to deliver”, and noted that a councillor briefing arranged for Tuesday 27 July will address a “significant amount of the matter”.

“The request by Councillors for a full explanation of negotiations between Council

managers and the waste services company, Biomass Solutions, was both reasonable and responsible,” Mr Judge said.

“Senior Council staff should have been able to provide such a report almost immediately.

“Instead, they decided it was all too hard and effectively refused.

“There is a culture of secrecy, a reluctance to communicate with Councillors and a general sense that Managers, not Councillors know best.”

Mr Judge stressed that this was not how a representative democracy should work.

“We elect Councillors to represent our interests, decide on Council policies and ensure that there is effective administration,” he said.

“We hold them accountable for Council’s performance.

“When a manager refuses to provide critical information, it leaves Councillors in a position where they have all the responsibility but no control.

“The end result is that ratepayers lose confidence in the Council as a whole.”

Mr Judge said his criticism was not levelled at Council staff who provide day-to-day services to ratepayers.

“I think that the Council

workers who look after our community do a good job,” Mr Judge said.

“The people who work on roads, look after our parks and run community events do their best and engage positively with our community.

“However, they are being let

down by a few people in senior positions who do not seem to think that they are accountable to us, the ratepayers of Coffs Harbour.

“That’s not fair to the reputations of those Council workers and it’s not fair to the community.”

Businesses supported as restrictions extended COVID-19 restrictions in regional NSW have been extended until Friday 30 July, with residents to continue wearing face masks and signing in with a NSW Government QR code at all indoor businesses.

To support local businesses and their employees with the continuing COVID-19 regional restrictions the NSW Government has announced a $5.1 billion economic support package to help businesses and people across NSW. The package aims to protect businesses, save and keep jobs through the lockdown and ensure people have support during this uncertain and difficult time.

Key features of the support package include: ● Expanded business grants program with grants between $7,500 and $15,000 available to eligible businesses with annual wages up to $10 million, to cover the first three weeks of restrictions. ● Introduction of a new grant program for smaller micro businesses

with a turnover between $30,000 and $75,000 that experience a decline in turnover of 30 per cent.

(These businesses will be eligible for a $1,500 payment per fortnight of restrictions) ● Protection for thousands of employees with NSW committing half of a new $2.1 billion business and employee support program to be delivered together with the Commonwealth. ● Payroll tax waivers of 25 per cent for businesses with Australian wages of between $1.2 million and $10 million that have experienced a 30 per cent decline in turnover. ● Greater protection for residential tenants faced with eviction orders. ● C o m p u l s o r y mediation for commercial and retail landlords before recovering a security bond, or locking out or evicting a tenant impacted by the Public Health Order. ● Land tax concession or grants of up to $1,500 offered to commercial, retail and residential landlords who reduce the rent of impacted tenants.

The NSW Government

will also cover the disaster recovery payments for areas outside the Commonwealth declared hotspot from week four of the NSW lockdown providing support across the State.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the support package had three key aims - protecting business, saving and keeping jobs through the lockdown and ensuring people had support during an uncertain and difficult time.

“We have always said we will do whatever it takes to protect the people of NSW and keep our economy strong, and that is exactly what we are doing,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“While our health and medical staff are fighting COVID-19 on the frontline, this comprehensive support package is aimed at saving jobs and protecting businesses until the lockdown is over.”

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the Government was offering support in as many areas as possible, with payroll tax cuts for eligible businesses, up to $75 million in support for the performing arts sector and $26 million for

“We saw last year during the first lockdown the importance of protecting jobs and ensuring people remained connected with their workplace,” Mr Perrottet said.

“The value of our business grants package is now up to $2.1 billion with a 50 per cent increase, there is also a new grant for those smaller businesses turning

over between $30,000 and $75,000, and payroll tax waivers for eligible businesses with a payroll up to $10 million that suffer a 30 per cent reduction in turnover.

“This is a mighty package aimed at ensuring the NSW economy bends in the storm but doesn’t snap.”

The NSW Government has also announced: ● $12 million in

additional funding for temporary accommodation for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness. ● $5.1 million in NSW funding to support mental health.

Businesses adversely affected by the latest COVID-19 restrictions should visit Service NSW for financial support and affected employees should visit Services Australia.

Curryfest Woolgoolga is back THE year 2020 was like no other.

Travel, work and most major events were cancelled due to Covid restrictions and sadly Curryfest Woolgoolga was no exception.

Organisers, Another Tasty Event, vowed 12 months ago they would return in 2021, better than ever and they have kept their promise.

Curryfest Woolgoolga 2021 is set to be one of the greatest in the event's 16-year history, once again transforming the beach reserve and streets of Woolgoolga into a sea of colour, music and aromas in a huge celebration of food, culture and dance.

The event has secured a major boost

with the appearance of celebrity chef and television star, Miguel Maestre.

The star of Network 10’s ‘The Living Room’ will host three cooking demonstrations throughout the day and will be on hand to meet and mingle with fans.

Miguel is a world-renowned chef, but his unique style and infectious personality will ensure a crowd experience not to be missed as he explodes the Curryfest ‘Cooking Zone’.

Normally attracting 15,000 visitors across the day, things may look a little different in the world’s ‘new normal’.

Local books, locally published, locally printed

By Andrea FERRARI

BONVILLE resident Alan Melbourne is on his way to becoming a successful author.

Having written and selfpublished ‘Veins of Gold', his memoir of gold prospecting in the hills around Coffs Harbour since the 1980’s, Alan’s third edition is heading for the shelves.

“Many books are churned out by large publishing houses purely to make money – quite

understandably – but this results in excessive output from favoured authors, often good scripts by unknown authors are simply rejected,” Alan told News Of The Area “I was asked to write my memories of prospecting in the Coffs Harbour hinterland.

“I remarked that it would be better written by one of the Old Timers... ‘but you are one of them' my children said.”

Alan decided to do it and to make it a totally home-

grown book – “about our area, published and printed in our area”.

He wrote about the adventures of a group of old chaps searching for the abandoned mines, their history, their geology, their romance.

“And, of course, about the gold we found,” he added.

“For illustrations I asked my prospecting mate, Neil Vaughan, to do pencil drawings of the sites because photographs didn’t always capture the feeling of many places.

“After six months of writing and trying chapters

on Neil and my dear wife, Lori, I felt ready.

“My son-in-law, Oliver, agreed to do secondary editing, formatting, cover design and joint publishing.”

Alan got a quote from Mid Coast Printing in Coffs Harbour for printing and

binding 100 copies.

“It was within my reach, so I decided to go ahead – there would be enough books for family and friends, and a few to try selling.

“When I collected the finished books, I was astounded at their

wonderful appearance, the superior quality paper (recycled too), and the noncurl covers.”

Now, on the third edition, hundreds sold – Alan is encouraging others to go local with their own stories.

Music and creativity drive anti-racism project

By Andrea FERRARI

ANTI-RACISM program, All One Under the Sun has produced its first major work, a song written and produced by Grow the Music with a diverse range of young people including First Nations, refugee and migrant background and Australian-born, nonIndigenous young people.

“All from different backgrounds the group built the song through exploring music and lyrics

to creatively express that we stand together against racism,” Dianne Jacobus, Program Manager, All One Under the Sun, told News Of The Area.

Music is a huge part of the project, seen recently in a series of school workshops where 150 young people from Coffs Harbour, Orara, Woolgoolga and Toormina High Schools participated using song writing to explore the theme of racism.

“Grow the Music

studio in Toormina led the production of the song and outreach workshops.

“A big part of our work is to use, and pay for, local artists.”

The next step will be to create a film clip for the song with local film makers.

Looking ahead to September, we will develop a theatre project in collaboration with local schools incorporating Bystander Anti-Racism Training.

“This training will teach

“The second part of the project will see the theatre group create scenes with an open ending, inviting audiences to decide how they could intervene as bystanders.

“We will take the theatre project out to schools in early 2022.”

A Youth Action Collective is currently being established to lead the project delivery.

“We are keenly inviting a strong Aboriginal presence in the program, being very much aware of the significance of the Aboriginal land we’re on.”

“It’s certainly a little bit different to a horse racing event.”

There are six camel races throughout the day, running around 300-400 meters in length with the animals being led to the race start with a mounted handler

keeping them on track.

The races offer a sweepstake, proceeds of which go to a local charity.

“We’ve been focusing on bush fire and flood recovery support and will announce our chosen charity for Coffs Harbour before the event.

“The camels are ethically treated in both their North Coast living arrangement, their transport and their event life.

“They race Australia wide, without the use of whips or any other restrictive apparatus,” said Monique.

The camels come from a herd of 160 living on a farm in the Newcastle region where their owner operates ethical practices for happy

animals.

On the day, in between the races there’s camel rides.

“These are not the racing camels, it’s more like pony rides, giving people the experience of being on a camel.”

The novel races are also a lot of fun with such events as the T-Rex, Giant Babies and Poo Emoji races.

“They’re big inflatable costumes, for adults…so it looks like, for example, fifteen giant babies racing down the track,” said Monique.

“It is hilarious.”

Valla sings, Bellingen play in Colours of Home concert q

By Andrea FERRARI

A COLLABORATION between Valla Voices and Bellingen Youth Orchestra Sinfonia and String School brings their first concert collaboration to Stockton Hall, Bellingen High School on July 31.

Called ‘Colours of Home’ the concert celebrates local talent performing Australian music with a little Mozart in for good measure, "because it’s so beautiful", Bonnie Nilsson, Co-Founder of Valla Voices told News Of The Area.

With bushfires, floods and covid cancellations, this is a long-delayed event which now celebrates the fact that the singers can sing, and the orchestra can play.

“Singing was banned for what was probably the first time in modern history, as a Covid restriction in 2020.

“That’s a huge thing to get your head around, especially when you’re a singer."

“As soon as we could, we committed to bring singing back into our lives and that’s when we approached the Bellingen Youth Orchestra to collaborate in this concert.

“Amber Davis, Director of Sinfonia loved the idea and much planning and rehearsals later we have a concert planned for July 31 at Bellingen High School.”

Paul Jarman, Bonnie’s husband and co-founder of Valla Voices has written much of the music for the concert along with pieces by Lisa Young and Bonnie.

Also joining the line-up for the concert is internationally renowned tabla player, Bobby Singh, who has recently moved to the area.

“There will be soloists, young kids performing, a great balance of voices and divine string repertoire.”

The concert opens with ‘Hear the Pipes Call’, a mainland premiere, having

made its world premiere in Hobart 2017.

“And the second half features the song cycle ‘Turn on the Open Sea’ by Paul Jarman, an Australian Choral Classic, which is this year celebrating its 20th anniversary.”

The connection between Paul and the Bellingen Youth Orchestra began to flourish in 2016 when the orchestra commissioned him to write a piece for them as part of the Fine Music Festival.

This produced the world premiere of Paul’s work with Bellingen Youth Orchestra, ‘Wubaan Barri’, in collaboration with well known local Gumbayngirr Elder, Uncle Michael Jarret and acclaimed choir, the Birralee Voices from Brisbane.

Coffs Cup to go ahead

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour’s annual Coffs Cup Race Day and half day public holiday is still scheduled to go ahead, despite current COVID-19 restrictions in place throughout regional NSW. Coffs Harbour City Council confirmed the annual Coffs Cup public holiday will occur on Thursday 5 August.

“Obviously the Covid situation is very fluid and we take our advice from NSW Health,” a Council spokesperson stated.

“But at this stage it is going ahead.

“If the situation changes, it will be reviewed as per relevant NSW Health advice.”

The Coffs Cup half day public holiday was cancelled for the region last year.

Around 2,500 people will be permitted to attend this year’s Coffs Cup Race Day at Coffs Harbour Racing Club.

All attendees will be required to wear a surgical face mask both indoors and outdoors, in line with Racing NSW COVID-19 regulations,

and check in to the event using a NSW Government QR code.

Fabric face masks will not be permitted.

“At this stage we’re still going ahead and we can have 50% capacity under the Stadium and Recreational Facilities Health Order,” Coffs Harbour Racing Club CEO Tim Saladine said.

“We’re under the same rules for indoors so we can only have one person per four square metres, which limits us a lot.”

“Obviously outdoors which people are encouraged to be, we've got plenty of seating.”

Mr Saladine said jockeys would be segregated from members of the public on the day, as well as from horse trainers.

“Jockeys have to be segregated from the public, no one is allowed near the jockeys, even the trainers can’t go in and see the jockeys they have to be one and a half metres apart from each other and they have to be segregated as well,” he said Patrons must be seated while indoors at the Club on the day, but outdoors attendees are able to move freely, and indoor seating is limited to 700.

There will be no Fashions on the Field or presentations on the day Permitted attendance numbers this year are up on last year’s Coffs Cup Day, with only 750 permitted to attend the Cup in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“Which was actually only members and owners of racehorses,” Mr Saladine said.

Last year the face mask rule was not in place.

This year, tickets to the 56th annual Coffs Harbour Gold Cup cannot be purchased at the gate and

q Coffs Harbour’s 56th annual Coffs Cup Race day and half day public holiday is still scheduled to go ahead on Thursday 5 August, with COVID restrictions in place.

must be purchased through the Coffs Harbour Racing Club website at https://www. coffsracingclub.com.au/.

“We need to track the numbers for licensing rules,” Mr Saladine said.

Around 90% of the allocated tickets to the Coffs Cup have already been sold.

The 8-race Coffs Harbour Gold Cup 2021 will be held from 11am to 5.30pm on

Thursday 5 August and general admission tickets cost $20 per person plus a booking fee.

This weekend’s Sawtell Cup has had a late date change from Sunday 25 July to Saturday 24 July, due to a lack of available jockeys for the Cup. “It’s been moved to Saturday because they’ve run out of jockeys in Sydney so we had a swap with Gosford,” Mr Saladine said.

No members of the public are allowed to attend the Sawtell Cup due to a positive

Development Fight Continues Over Koala Habitat

By Andrew VIVIAN

LOCAL campaigners, who are attempting to prevent koala habitat at Lot 2, Sawtell Rd, Toormina, being developed, were contacted last week by solicitors representing the Coffs Harbour City Council.

The solicitors informed the campaigners that Regional Architects, representing REDCC, has served notice on the Coffs Harbour City Council to appear in the Land and Environment Court and defend their May 2020 refusal of a development application.

The original 2018 development application sought to bulldoze over seven hectares of the heavily ‘environmentally restrained’ 8.9 hectare bushland block for a 57-lot housing subdivision and seniors’ village.

The land was once publicly owned, but ownership was passed to the Coffs Harbour Exservicemens Club.

The 2015 marketing and sale of the land caused significant outrage and,

ever since, a local campaign by residents and friends to prevent the bulldozing and loss of the significant core koala habitat and major corridor.

According to campaigners, it also contains a prescribed Endangered Ecological Community, with many old growth standing hollows and rich local biodiversity.

A Coffs Harbour City Council spokesperson told News Of The Area that the appeal relates to the Council's refusal of the applicant's development application on 22 May 2020 and a copy of the notice of determination can be accessed on the Council's planning portal, which sets out the reasons for refusal of the application.

The spokesperson said that Council has retained a number of independent experts as well as internal experts in these proceedings to defend its refusal of the application and has instructed HWL Ebsworth Lawyers to act on its behalf.

She said the experts and solicitors acted for the Council in a previous appeal brought by the applicant in

relation to the then deemed refusal of the development application.

In those proceedings, the applicant discontinued the appeal on the fifth day of a seven-day hearing and the application was not finally determined by the Court.

The Council was successful in obtaining a costs order against the applicant in relation to the conduct of those proceedings.

The Council declined to comment further because this matter is the subject of current court proceedings.

The Grande Dame of Australian Folk music

By David TUNE BORN and raised in Coffs Harbour, Judy Small has enjoyed success and recognition in two diverse fields, as both a folk music singer-songwriter and a lawyer.

After graduating from Coffs Harbour High School, Judy moved to Sydney to study

q Developers continue the fight to clear this bushland. Photo: Andrew Vivian.

All Dentures Same Day Reline/Repairs Chrome Casting Implant Overdentures Sports Mouthguards

and also started her career as a singer and songwriter in the late 1970s.

Judy’s connection to Coffs Harbour includes the fact that her father Fred was an Editor of the Coffs Harbour Advocate in the 1950’s.

She pursued her musical career full time until becoming a family lawyer in 1998, although she continued with her songwriting and part time performances while practicing law.

Judy went on to be appointed as a Judge with the Federal Circuit Court of Australia in 2013, and her singing career was put on hold.

Some of her many achievements include being awarded the ‘MO Award’ for folk singer of the year in 1990 and becoming a Member of the Order of Australia for her work as a songwriter and recording artist in 2013.

After retiring from the Bench in April 2020, Judy decided in 2021 to return to the stage and sing for audiences once again, commencing a tour from Cairns to Victoria (restrictions allowing) from August to September this year.

Known for her feminist

and political songs which usually follow a traditional theme, Judy has produced twelve albums and hundreds of songs, and says of her work, "If an audience comes away thinking about issues it is a worthwhile performance."

Well known local music teacher Margaret England has kept in touch with Judy through the years and told News Of The Area, “My connection with her is that I was a young teacher seconded to CHHS expressly to conduct a massed choir of primary school students for the opening of the much lamented Civic Centre.

“Judy was a part of this choir and I encountered her at high school a year or two later since when we have never lost touch.

“It's a nice piece of symmetry that as the Coffs Harbour City Council casts around for a venue to house a proper q

entertainment centre I'm arranging a gig for the now famous little chorister.”

Restrictions permitting Judy Small will sing at Coffs harbour Guide Hall 209A Harbour Drive Coffs Harbour from 3pm.

Tickets are available from http://www.judysmallsings. com.

Dying to Know welcomes questions about death and dying

By Andrea FERRARI

DYING to Know is an information event by Bellingen’s Barefoot Funerals with the purpose of providing answers to all the questions you could possibly have related to dying.

Leonie Watson, cofounder of Barefoot Funerals, with husband Chuck, wanted to create a fun event that welcomes anyone and everyone with their questions about death.

In today’s world the subject of death tends to be touched upon rather than discussed openly, leaving many people with questions about the processes involved when a loved one passes.

“Questions might be about shrouds, woven coffins, what can we do and what can’t we do for funerals, and if a family can keep a person at home, and for how long,” Leonie told News Of The Area.

“We can talk about photographing your dead

or dying person, how long it takes to decompose, how we go about dressing someone for their coffin.”

Dying to Know brings together a group of local Coffs Coast professionals with years of experience across funerals: Miindala, Barefoot Funerals, Sim Elizabeth Death Doula, Lissa Carmela Death Doula and Gaby The Funeral Photographer.

“People can ask us about death doulas, bedside vigils, interment of ashes, grief and bereavement support, and share our perspective on some of the less well-known processes around death.”

Chuck will be sharing

his natural empathetic and professional way, giving attendees at Dying to Know

honest and straightforward advice and support on all aspects of care.

He believes that everyone deserves affordable, gentle and dignified service.

Barefoot Funerals say theirs is the old traditional method, where the family is involved if they wish.

“We believe in choice and our service is to offer a kind, gentle approach,” said Leonie.

“We help create inspirational and affordable funerals, tailoring everything we do to support the family in saying goodbye in an authentic way.”

Dying to Know is on Saturday 21 August at 2pm, at Tree-o Gallery, Raleigh.

ON Monday 19 July, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated Coffs Coast Hockey on being awarded $440,000 to progress with stage two of the Hockey Complex upgrade at Stadium Drive.

Stage one of the developments saw the opening of the new canteen and clubhouse building in October last year, and it is anticipated that work on stage two will commence around November this year.

The new building will include two new change rooms with toilets and showers, as well as an official’s room, with all areas fully accessible.

Association President Mr Graham Robinson told News Of The Area, “These facilities will allow for greater female participation and will also upgrade to current ‘Safer

by Design’ standards.”

The Hockey Association currently has about 550 players ranging in age from four to eighty-three.

Detailed planning for the new building will commence soon.

Stage three of the Hockey Complex Upgrade will encompass provision of a dedicated car park for the grounds, and Stage four is the eventual provision of a second turf playing surface.

Mr Singh said of the project, “I congratulate Hockey Coffs Coast on their successful application which will result in improved sporting infrastructure for our community.

“This important project, which complements the existing clubroom and canteen, will deliver femalefriendly change rooms to provide for player, officials and spectator comfort.”

The funding comes

emerging COVID exposure sites, News Of The Area spoke with Mr Greg Wilson, a member of the NSW Secondary Principals’ Council Inc about the impact on schools in the local area.

“At this stage for schools outside of the Sydney metropolitan areas the COVID measures will have less of an impact, than for those physically in a COVID hotspot,” he said.

“The NSW government is working with schools to get the best for students by helping them and supporting them at this stage, especially students with major work to be done.”

Chair of the NESA COVID-19 Response Committee, Professor Peter Shergold, said teachers, students, parents and carers are understandably concerned about the impact of the current COVID-19 situation on senior students, and that a number of changes to NESA’s rules have been made to support principals, teachers and students during

the current outbreak.

"As approved by the NESA Board earlier this year, schools already have the flexibility to change their Year 11 and HSC assessment programs to accommodate the impact of COVID,” Professor Shergold said.

Additionally, earlier this week, the NESA COVID-19 Response Committee agreed to a two-week extension of the deadline for schools to submit their HSC assessment marks.

Vocational education and training (VET) students in Year 11 and 12 who can’t complete their work placement due to COVID restrictions will remain eligible for the HSC. “We continue to work closely with NSW Health to plan for contingencies should they be needed.

“At present, the HSC oral language, performance and practical exams will go ahead as scheduled in term 3 and written exams in term 4.

“My message to students is to focus on your studies and look after your wellbeing.

“Arrangements are in place to ensure no student is disadvantaged by COVID restrictions.”

Down Time in Dorrigo

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Dorrigo’s Town Clock got blown off its pedestal in mightily gusty winds on Saturday July 17.

By Andrea FERRARI

DORRIGO’s Town Clock got blown off its pedestal in mightily gusty winds on Saturday July 17.

“Store holders heard a crash at around 12.30pm, but no-one actually saw it fall,” Sara Hankin, President of Rotary Dorrigo told News Of The Area.

“Thank goodness noone was underneath when it came down, even though it fell straight down, it weighs a tonne.

“The clock and its electronics have been maintained over the years by varying Rotarians.

“In recent years the timekeepers have been Bill Baggett and Bruce Francis.

“The Rotary Clock is an integral part of Rotary Dorrigo and the town's proud history, and we will definitely set about restoring the clock to working order,” said Sara.

“The strong winds over the past four days have driven many people in-doors.

“The area is scattered with fallen branches and

debris.”

The current Town Clock, located on the intersection of Dorrigo’s Hickory and Cudgery Streets, is the third version of a clock on that site.

The first, relatively small, was erected in approximately

1960.

The second clock had a large square casing and clock face and was constructed from funds raised by Rotary Dorrigo.

Ray Cork and Leo Frodl (both Rotarians) built the

original stand.

Charlie Mccrae, a foundation member of Rotary Dorrigo who owned the electronics shop in town, was the clock’s keepers for many years along with John Friend and John Sipple.

By the end of the 1990s this clock was not functional and a project to replace it was coordinated by Rotarian Bill Baggett, in conjunction with the Dorrigo Men’s Shed.

This included making a new octagonal casing to enclose the existing clock face, repairs and upgrading of the clock mechanism.

Mayor Mark Troy dedicated the current clock in 2013.

In 2020, the construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Hickory and Cudgery Streets, enabled mains electrical supply to the clock.

Despite modern devices and until Saturday at 12.30, residents and visitors fondly look to the clock for the correct time of day.

King Tide Brewing building Coffs’ first brewery

By Andrea FERRARI

FOUR 40ft shipping containers delivered the contents of King Tide’s brewery to the site of Coffs Harbour’s first craft brewery.

“We unloaded our brewery and have installed it on site in a mammoth effort, and are now hooking up the electricals and automation,” Founder Josh King, told News Of The Area.

“The space has evolved so much from its original state as a mechanics garage; the most striking aspect being the

outside area.

“Our builder, Allan Potts Building, has built an incredible deck which will make for an amazing beer garden and urban sanctuary.”

This is Josh and his wife Lucyna’s decade-long dream coming true – to set up a brewery in his hometown of Coffs Harbour.

‘Gypsy brewing’ over the last couple of years was a great opportunity for Josh to start a relationship with the beer drinkers of the Coffs Coast.

“The feedback was

terrific and was certainly encouragement for what we are now launching.”

Beer drinkers will delight in the expanded range of beers King Tide Brewing will be delivering.

“Being a brewpub, we’ll have the luxury of playing with many beer styles not commonly put into cans or bottles in Australia, like Belgian-style beers and English pub ales.”

The past four months have seen the build and fitout as they accelerate out of planning and theoretical into

reality.

“It has been great to step away from the desk and put on a pair of boots.

“It takes me full circle back to my training as a chemical engineer – and properly put my degree to use.”

“When Lucyna and I close our eyes and dream of what King Tide Brewing will become, we see a community-centred venue; warm and inviting, serving great food and fresh tasty beer.

“One of the most pleasing learnings from this process is that we have so many skilled and hardworking tradies and suppliers in this town, who have worked so hard to help us bring the reality of Coffs’ first brewery to life.

“We are indebted to them.”

Moonee Beach Hotel reopens under new ownership

By David WIGLEY

THE Moonee Beach Hotel reopened its doors last Monday under new ownership following an initial refreshment program and a change in name from the Moonee Beach Tavern to the Moonee Beach Hotel.

The new owners are no strangers to the Coffs Coast who also operate the popular Toormina Hotel and Sawtell Hotel.

General Manager Hugh Gillroy shared his excitement to further embrace the local community.

“Moonee Beach Hotel is an exciting addition to our evolving Coffs Coast footprint.

“It already has such a great reputation in the local area and we’re looking forward to continuing to evolve the offer and take the venue to the next level.

“We’re excited to further immerse ourselves in this local community that we love, engaging with the many sporting and family groups at its heart.

“The first change has been swapping the word Tavern for Hotel.

“Since its original

inception it was a tavern, however we believe a Hotel is more appropriate for the community we will play a large role in – representing a focus on family and bringing together great food, drinks, sport and entertainment.

“We’re already working through an initial refreshment program, which includes some aesthetic enhancements to décor and signage and tweaks to the food and beverage offering.

“In time, we will look to

make some more substantial upgrades to all areas of the hotel, continuing to evolve the brand and product offering to provide both local appeal and destination value.

“We are excited to offer new opportunities for those experienced in hospitality or perhaps those looking for a career change.

“We pride ourselves on our great training and development culture and look forward to further growing the team,” said Hugh.

Migrants Secure Work via TAFE

COFFS Harbour’s Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) has developed an English, jobs and employment pathway for migrants that is helping to alleviate the shortage in retail and hospitality workers.

According to figures released in April by jobs website SEEK, job applications per advertisement were at the lowest level since 2012, underlining the skills shortage challenge faced by hospitality, tourism and retail businesses.

In partnership with the Tourism and Hospitality section at Coffs Harbour Education Campus English language learners are studying short courses teaching migrants practical workplace skills for the hospitality and other industries.

The eight week Pathways to Employment in Hospitality program at TAFE NSW Coffs

Harbour has recently run with employment outcomes for students.

Kylie Warner, TAFE NSW Regional Coordinator for the federally-funded AMEP in Coffs Harbour says the Pathways program is designed to develop employability and language skills, introducing Australian workplace culture and offering a pathway into working in hospitality.

“The students took part in a combined English and Hospitality course delivered both in the classroom and kitchen and then underwent two weeks of work experience,” said Ms Warner “Six out of the twelve students got jobs during or after the course, four directly related to hospitality.”

One of the success stories from the course was a student who was able to start working immediately upon completion of the course.

Guinean student, Anne-

Marie Grovogui, started her employment in a local café the day after she graduated.

Ms Grovogui told News Of The Area “I had very little English, but the teachers were very good, supporting, motivating and encouraging me.

“After two weeks of work experience at the café, my employer asked me to stay on and gave me a job as a kitchen hand,” she said.

“I’m very happy now, I’ve overcome barriers to employment and have started a new life experience.”

The program has been an ongoing support for migrants and former refugees.

Ms Warner was pleased to add that eleven other students completing their TAFE NSW AMEP or Spoken and Written English courses were subsequently employed in retail and horticultural businesses in Coffs Harbour.

Grass roots activists get solar support

By Andrea FERRARI VETERAN peaceful environmental activist, Murray ‘Muzz’ Drechsler visited Newry Forest Blockade’s Camp Nunguu last week delivering the rego papers for the new solar powered unit which houses a fridge and communications charging station.

A handyman fixer, Muzz converted the donated trailer and solar panels into a travelling power station for the campers who diligently work to protect the unique ocean-to-mountain forests on the Coffs Coast.

Muzz is the founder of Mystery Dingo Environmental Tours, a protest-camp tour company fuelled in purpose by his life goal of

“justice - environmental justice, governmental justice, Indigenous justice”, he told News Of The Area.

Muzz’s work is peaceful direct action, or civil disobedience, rather than the

indirect action of lobbying and signing petitions.

“Civil disobedience is how Gandhi got the English out of India; and how Rosa Parks’ resistance to racial segregation was effective; and

how the Aborigine people got the classification as human beings rather than flora and fauna in 1967 - peacefully protesting.”

In ten years of active protesting, Muzz has “caused much havoc, pain and financial loss to greedy corporations and dishonest, power-hungry governments”.

“I didn’t wake up one day and think I need to look after

the environment.

“I was born with respect and knowledge for country, I understood nature before I understood humans.

“Joh Bjelke-Petersen (QLD premier ’68-’87) created many staunch activists, in reaction to his dictatorship.”

A Mullumbimby man, Muzz visits Camp Nunguu to participate in their education program which includes

workshops to empower supporters, new and longtime.

“My proudest moment…I led the first blockade of a coal mine in Australia at Maules Creek against Whitehaven C oal…three-and-a-h a l f years, three thousand people actively protesting, four hundred and fifty arrests and they still built the mine, chopping down Laird State Forest which was a critically endangered ecological community before the mine was built - now its just f*****d.

“Once they got the first coal out, we had to pack up which left a lot of activists very angry; that’s why the Stop Adani campaign was so big, we’d learned what it would need to stop a mine.”

Online Shopping Is Up

By Sandra MOON HAS the pandemic changed the way you shop?

Have you increased your online shopping?

You are not the only one.

Australia Post reports that lockdowns in NSW are creating an increase in online shopping across the state.

New year on year data shows almost four million households have bought something online in the last fortnight - up six per cent when compared to last year.

In the same two weeks, New South Wales accounted for over a third (35.1 per cent) of all online purchases nationally and Queensland almost a fifth.

Western Australia and the Northern Territory have also grown strongly, up 20.3 and 17.2 percent respectively.

In the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area (LGA) online shopping growth for the 12 months to 30 June 2021 is 29.3%, slightly below the national average of 31.8%.

The online spending increase saw Woolgoolga online shoppers leading the increase locally with spending up by 31.6%, followed by Coffs Harbour at 29 percent and Toormina at 27.7 percent.

The top three online shopping categories for the Coffs LGA is Specialty Food and Liquor at 35.2%, Home and Garden at 34.2% and

Variety Stores at 27.8% Australia Post General Manager Parcel and Express services Ben Franzi said, “With this latest wave of the pandemic affecting different areas of the country, we’ve seen different growth patterns as many Australians experienced tight public health restrictions for the first time.

“The growth in online shopping in areas experiencing COVID-19 restrictions was similar to the trends seen in the midst of the pandemic last year,” he said.

“We know that when restrictions tighten people buy more online.

“In fact, during lockdowns

LAST Monday, Tom Howell and three others faced court over charges arising from protests against logging by Forestry Corporation.

Mr Howell and his three fellow protestors were charged after allegedly endangering members of the public by climbing onto a canopy outside the Forestry Corporation building in Coffs Harbour in May. He said that no brief of evidence was presented but that it appeared that the members of the public in danger were his fellow protesters.

That case was adjourned, to be heard on 30 August.

Mr Howell was also charged with offences arising from two days of protests that stopped logging at Wild Cattle Creek.

He has already pleaded

guilty to charges of hiding tools and other equipment to hinder a person and failure to comply with a directive from an authorised officer, a Forestry Corporation employee.

Mr Howell has pleaded not guilty to failure to leave the area when directed by an authorised officer and remaining on enclosed lands.

The latter plea is because Mr Howell, who represented himself, does not believe that a native forest meets the definition of enclosed land.

The magistrate agreed to remove a bail condition forbidding Mr Howell from entering Wild Cattle Creek State Forest, because he was no threat to the community.

This case will be heard on 4 August.

Mr Howell told News Of The Area that he has risked his liberty because, “After

Staycations Popularity Growing

By Sandra MOON

HIPCAMP, the world’s largest provider of outdoor stays, reports that 61% of Australians have no holidays planned and are in great need for an escape.

But with many people hesitant to book a holiday due to the changing and unpredictable nature of border closures many are choosing to stay at home and holiday locally.

Hipcamp surveyed one thousand Australians coast-to-coast to create a clear picture of current attitudes toward camping and understand more about upcoming holiday plans.

Their survey returned data results of 61% saying they had no holiday plans for the next six months.

Nearly a quarter of survey participants nationally cited ‘staycations’ as the most viable holiday plan for the next six months.

Friday, 23 July, 2021

In NSW that figure was the highest in the country at 28.3% of respondents thinking a ‘staycation’ is the most realistic vacation for the next 6 months.

This figure beat the national average of 24%.

And 28.3% of NSW participants in the HIpcamp survey said they’ve booked a staycation already.

A Hipcamp spokesperson told News Of The Area “It's been so long since some Australians have had a 'legit' holiday, that over a quarter (29.3%) say that they 'can't remember' the last time they actually took one.”

Interestingly, 19% say they had a holiday just before COVID and 16.7% say their last holiday was two years ago, meaning a combined total of 35.7% of Australians haven't had a vacation for 15 to 24 months.

He said that there are several court cases currently happening to protect native forests and despite protests and petitions the government persists with logging of native forests, so more direct action is needed.

He pointed to prosecutions of logging crews taken by the Environment Protection Authority last year after direct action in Wild Cattle Creek.

Mr Howell believes this indicates that as well as from stopping logging in the short term, direct action raises awareness of issues.

“Direct action has worked before, and, hopefully, it will continue to work.

“The only reason we have national parks now is because people were prepared to take action,” he said.

Homewares emerge from rescued timber

By Andrea FERRARI

RESCUING old timber and driftwood and recreating it into funky, one-of-a-kind homewares is the basis of a flourishing new Korora home-based business by Michelle (Mish) Klement.

“Rescued Wood Studio (RWS) is my creation, inspired

by my belief that climate change is real, and every one of us has a responsibility to do our part.

“Bushfires, floods then COVID hit – all to remind us it’s time to be grateful for what we have and it can be taken away very easily,” Mish told News Of The Area.

“So much wood goes

to waste every day, let’s repurpose that into something really different and customers can feel they are doing their bit by purchasing it.

“I call myself a Wood Huntress - whether it’s from friends, driftwood washed up on the beaches, crate boxes from a steel manufacturer, wood from a barn that had fallen down, old fence posts washed up in the floods at the dump – it finds its way to me.”

Mish designs and handmakes all her pieces, all the electrical work being handled by a semi-retired sparky.

“None of the wood is bleached as putting the wastewater into our waterways is not OK, it’s all cleaned with white vinegar baths, then weathered outside.

q Mish working on her latest driftwood mirror.

“It’s exciting to peel back the layers of the timber as you often find interesting things that tell a story of where the wood may have come from.”

Each one-of-a-kind piece gives the wood a new lease on life while driving curiosity.

“I work from my home workshop and am part of the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) government program for new businesses.

“I have a business mentor who supports me as part of this program, and I’ve learnt

an incredible amount in a short space of time – the NEIS support has been amazing.”

Truckers Training App

By Sandra MOON

LINDSAY Transport, which began in 1953 in Coffs Harbour, has released a training app to improve truck driver safety.

SafeWork NSW and Lindsay Transport have released the truck safety training tool for the onboarding and induction of workers in the NSW road freight industry which will promote safer practices.

SafeWork Director of WHS Services Regional, Lisa Foley, said the augmented reality phone or online app will guide a driver through processes for entering or exiting the cabin, how to safely couple and uncouple trailers, conducting safety inspections and preventing vehicle rollaway incidents.

“The nature of the work in the transport industry makes it a high-risk for workplace fatalities and serious injuries, with major claims for injuries are around 50 percent greater than the average employment sector,” Ms Foley said.

“We see serious injuries continue to occur when

“But beyond the truck we are seeing workers being hit by moving objects, being trapped between objects and being impacted by a rollaway.

“The augmented reality application can be used in a studio mode or artificial environment, or it can be used with the truck in place

in a real world environment.

“The format is process driven and establishes a workflow requiring the user to interact with the driver and truck wherever it is located,” Ms Foley said.

“This training puts in place standards which will promote safe working environments.

“For example, before climbing into your cab onto your vehicle you should get the mud off your shoes to

stop you from slipping,” Ms Foley said.

The new app was produced as part of an enforceable undertaking with Lindsay Transport, which included a threemonth radio media campaign targeting driver fatigue, speeding, use of mobile phones and uncontrolled movement of vehicles.

SafeWork NSW alleges that in 2015 Lindsay

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Australia Limited and its entity Lindsay Australia failed to ensure so far as reasonably practicable the health and safety of workers.

The Enforceable Undertaking was signed in 2019.

Lyndsay Australia CEO, Kim Lindsay, said the company had since worked closely with SafeWork to deliver important safety messages for the industry,

including developing the Augmented Reality app to improve training in highrisk areas.

“The transport industry is a dangerous industry, – we are working with large plants and equipment on a daily basis.

“This free tool which supports new workers through their systems of work can only improve safety around the vehicle,” Mr Lindsay said.

Final touches to Woopi Brewing Co.

By Andrea FERRARI WOOPI BREWING Co. is putting the final touches to the business that will bring Sarah and Ryan Poole and Jacqui and Aaron Dobner’s vision of Woolgoolga having its own craft brewery to reality.

“We had two families’ brewery dreams collide in perfect unison when we all met in Woopi,” Sarah told News Of The Area.

“Ryan and I had been building a plan with Matt Bebe from Mornington Peninsula Brewery/TarBarrel while I was contracting with them

in operations, and Aaron and Jacqui had been researching locations for a family friendly brewery in the region.”

The entrepreneurs worked very hard to find the right start-up team of investors and have five families involved in this venture plus Matt Bebe, a veteran in the brewery industry.

“Our Board brings a wealth of business experience and knowledge including hospitality and craft brewing."

Aaron has been brewing for many years, and with his passion for craft beer

week out, and we will have a wide open (securely fenced) space for the kids to run around.”

The aim is to provide something for everyone so that small groups, couples and families can enjoy some time together in this space.

“As our tagline suggests – Beach. Mountains. Beer - we are very aware that Woolgoolga is located in one of the most beautiful parts

of our country, and we will work to celebrate and respect our environment and what it brings to our region as much as possible.”

Almost there, the interior designer (Natural Habitat), and builder (Baldwin Group Building), are putting the final touches on the site.

“We’re starting to hire staff and secure food trucks and musicians for the weekends.”

Doors open in September.

Suicide Intervention Skills Training

By Andrea FERRARI

APPLIED Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshops are being held in and around Coffs, working with Covid-19 restrictions and postponements, to support the community and work to reduce and prevent suicide.

“ASIST workshops are for everyone in our community,” Magda Pomroy, Student Support Officer for Bellingen Shire Youth Services and the facilitator of ASIST, told News Of The Area.

“Our aim is to educate as many people as possible in our community, so we all

know how we can support someone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide, break the stigma, and open up conversations around this very important and serious issue.

“With two facilitators we spend two full days talking about our beliefs and attitudes around suicide and learning new skills to engage in a lifesaving conversation.”

There’s lots of role playing and interactive group work, and “although it is a heavy topic, it is actually loads of fun”.

“We have seen the rise of suicide in our communities, and we know it is something

we have kept silent for too long,” Magda said.

“We need to be able to say to someone ‘I need help’ without people feeling uncomfortable, scared, ashamed.

“There are the usual symptoms we hear about, like being withdrawn, changing behaviours, low mood.

“However, we also know that when someone decides to suicide, they may feel relief.

“This is also a change in their behaviour, this is why we need to ask,” said Magda.

Being honest and nonthreatening, we can say to someone we’re worried about, “I have noticed...”

Mission Australia’s Youth Survey closes soon ASK any parent or guardian what their young person was most worried about in 2020 and they would probably say COVID-19.

For 20 years the Mission Australia’s Youth Survey, the largest survey of its kind, has been the barometer of what young people are experiencing, thinking and feeling.

Last year, 25,800 young people participated in the survey including 6669 in

NSW. Youth Survey 2020 revealed for the first time, equity and discrimination was the top national issue, increasing by more than 60 per cent since 2019.

COVID-19 was identified as the second issue of most concern, followed by mental health.

Young people from NSW nominated equity and discrimination, COVID-19 and the environment as

28 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

the most important issues facing Australia today.

Mission Australia State Director Nada Nassar said the survey plays a critical role in understanding what many young people are thinking.

“In 2021 as the impacts of COVID-19 become clearer, it is important for NSW’s young people to express their aspirations, issues and concerns,” she said.

This year’s Youth Survey includes focus questions to reveal insights into young people’s housing situation, disability and experiences of discrimination, along with new questions to better understand the impact of COVID-19 and stress management.

“Young people have endured a lot during the past 18 months, including disruptions to their education, facing fresh barriers to employment, housing instability, mental health challenges and

or “I am worried because I have seen that...”.

“And please follow up with people,” Magda said “It helps others to know that you really mean it when you say you are there for them.

“Doing ASIST changed my way of supporting people and has helped me professionally and

personally for many years.”

The commitment of two full days is worthwhile, according to Magda, “you'll be so glad you did it”.

natural disasters,” Ms Nassar said.

“The results provide invaluable insights and an important source of information frequently cited by organisations and governments, and often tapped into by families and individuals to develop a picture of what our young people are thinking and experiencing.”

For those who would like to have their say, time is running out - Mission Australia’s Youth Survey 2021 is open until 9 August to all young people aged 1519 years-old who are living in Australia.

It only takes 20 minutes to complete, with results expected to be released in early December.

“We are calling on the community to help us spread the word – whether that’s sports teams, youth groups, schools or churches.

“Encourage your young people to jump on the Mission Australia website, fill out the survey and tell us how they are feeling,” said Ms Nassar.

Vale Kojak

By Andrew VIVIAN

ON the morning of New Year’s Day, 2014, two newcomers to Sawtell wandered down to First Avenue and encountered a mature gentleman with a twinkle in his eye who informed them that he was the “unofficial Mayor of Sawtell” and that his name was ‘Kojak’ because of his ‘hair style’.

The newcomers didn’t know that he was the 2013 Sawtellian of the Year and that his ‘title’ was, technically, correct.

According to everyone who knew him, Doug Duncombe, or ‘Kojak’, had a life of quality and quantity – he packed so much into his 91 years.

Born in Ouyen, Victoria, Doug moved around with his family, living in Geelong and Mutoa and ending up in Ascot Vale in Melbourne.

His first, of many jobs, was as an office boy at the Melbourne Stock Exchange.

After a variety of jobs, and continuing to move around, Kojak entered the occupation he was born for, as a sales cadet, for an agricultural machinery company.

From there, he moved into car sales, which took him to Wagga Wagga before Mike Blewitt enticed him to Sawtell in 1984, to work with him in used car sales until he retired in 1994.

He married Betty in 1957 and they had two daughters, Laurinda and Rohena.

Betty passed away and Kojak found

love again with Jean, and they produced Rod and Mick.

Kojak loved playing and watching sport.

He played Australian Rules football and cricket, and was a very good squash player.

He raced his yacht, ‘Kojak’, on Thursdays and Sundays at Coffs Harbour and, of course, played lawn bowls at Sawtell.

Kojak enjoyed travelling, within Australia and abroad.

He sometimes combined this with his love of yachting, sailing to places such as Hawaii and New Zealand Kojak was caring and generous, and worked tirelessly for others.

He was President of the Benalla Football Club, the Rotary Club of Sawtell and the Sawtell Bowling and Recreation Club.

He was also awarded Rotary’s high honour of being recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow in 2002.

Kojak threw himself into everything.

q

For example, when he was 69, and Mick and his wife Barbara were thinking of buying a bus run, Kojak got a bus licence just in case they needed help.

An enduring legacy of Kojak is the week-long ‘Kojak’s Festival of Social Bowls’ that he instigated eighteen years ago, of which the 2021 edition begins on Saturday.

Kojak’s friends and family have enough anecdotes to write a book.

Indeed, Kojak himself wrote a book about his first father-in-law.

His bowling friends recalled a bowling trip to Nimbin, when bowlers ran into the night, in various states of undress, after the fire alarms went off, because Kojak had closed a flue on a combustion heater.

They said that the esteem in which Kojak was held was evident when, about 6 years ago during the bowls Festival, Kojak spent a week in hospital.

When he walked back into the club everyone stood and applauded.

One of his friends said, “Kojak was the greatest Sawtellian of them all.”

Kojak as everyone remembers him.

Doug was a Sawtellian of the Year.

“We are making cheese the traditional way, by hand, taking our time and focusing on quality not quantity.

“We are excited to incorporate local flavours into traditional recipes like local Dorrigo pepper and want to team up with goat’s milk from a local lady for a special edition mixed-milk cheese.

“Later on, we want to make mountain cheeses similar to the Raclette we are using at our market stall.”

Protecting Piecework Rates IN the Fair Work Commission (FWC) which started last week, the National Farmers’ Federation say they will fight to protect farmers' access to piecework rates and workers' right to be paid according to their efforts.

The National Farmers Federation (NFF) will respond to demands by the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) to the Fair Work Commission to put an hourly wage floor price on piecework rates.

According to Fairwork, “A piecework rate is where an employee gets paid by the piece.

“It's based on the amount

the employee has picked, packed, pruned or made.”

National Farmers Federation CEO Tony Mahar said, "At a time when farmers are suffering from chronic labour shortages, the AWU has mounted a misleading and membership-driven case, that if successful will not only hurt farmers but workers too.”

Under the Horticulture Award, piecework rates must be set to allow a worker to earn at least 15% above the award wage.

"Rather than offering a set hourly rate, piecework rates allow workers to earn at a rate that directly corresponds to how much they pick or pack in a given workday," Mr Mahar said.

"For example, a worker on an hourly rate might earn less than $25 per hour over 7 hours and pick 5-6 bins of apples, over the same period, a worker on piece rates might earn $45 per bin, effectively

doubling their earnings.

"The risk of putting a minimum hourly wage floor price on piecework rates is that growers will see productivity and the pool of suitable workers drop in the midst of an already chronic labour shortage brought about by COVID border closures," Mr Mahar said.

"Employment is the number one expense for many growers, at as much as 66% of their operating costs, and any significant increase to that could see businesses fail."

Mr Mahar said the AWU's tactics to date had been to

www.newsofthearea.com.au deliberately and incorrectly, conflate the very serious issue of worker underpayment with piecework rates.

"For PR purposes, the AWU likes to roll out lines about farm workers being paid $3 an hour.

“If this is accurate, it is clearly an instance of underpayment and completely unrelated to the operation of piece work rates.

"Employers who deliberately rip off workers must be held to account.

“The NFF urges any farm worker who believes they have been deliberately underpaid to report their experience to the Fair Work Ombudsman.

"By contrast, piecework

rates are a legal payment mechanism, that already have a built-in protection mechanism, that guarantees workers earn 15% more than the award wage.”

Mr Mahar said the NFF was committed to ensuring growers’ continued access to piecework rates.

"This case has the hallmarks of many of the landmark disputes the NFF has fought on behalf of farmers in its 42 year history.

Battles that have shaped the face of Australian agriculture and farm advocacy."

The FWC will hear from growers and workers who use and benefit from piece work rates.

Bellingen’s River Sounds Postponed ARE you planning on attending the River Sounds Festival at Bellingen?

There’s some bad news and some good news.

Inorder to end on a positive note let’s start with the bad news.

The River Sounds Festival has been postponed due to the developing COVID situation in NSW. River Sounds Festival Director, Ben Lewis, announced the postponement after making the difficult decision.

“We are gutted to inform you River Sounds Festival is being postponed due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation in Australia.

“The health and safety of our patrons, artists, crew, vendors, suppliers, contractors and the Bellingen Shire Community is at the forefront of everything we do,” Mr Lewis said.

“With the growing number of Covid-19 cases in NSW and in other parts of the country, we have no choice but to postpone the event.”

The good news is that the

COVID Enforced Isolation Negatively Impacting Those With Dementia

By Marian SAMPSON COVID-19 is changing the face of life for those living with dementia.

Dementia Australia is calling on the community, including health and aged care staff, to work together to maintain engagement with people impacted by dementia during this time of enforced isolation.

Dementia Australia Acting CEO Anthony Boffa said people living with dementia are some of the most vulnerable people in our community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Ramping up the focus on engagement and communication at this time of restricted physical contact is vital for all of us, but especially for people living with dementia,” Mr Boffa said.

“If stimulus is reduced for people living with dementia the loss of cognitive function can escalate.

“Over time these are losses that most people will not be able to regain.

“Being aware that your cognitive abilities may ‘slip away’, as one client described it, is a profound concern."

People living with dementia, their families and carers have told Dementia Australia that some residential aged care facilities have not been able to offer appropriate alternatives to essential visits and this has resulted in poor physical and psychological outcomes for residents with dementia.

Mr Boffa said it is crucial

that all those working in aged care, especially in Victoria and New South Wales, are extra vigilant in providing care for people living with dementia to protect them from the risk of COVID-19 and social isolation.

Boffa said.

“With recent data suggesting that just over two thirds of all people living in residential aged care have moderate to severe cognitive impairment, this must be adequately addressed.

"It is vital that people who provide “During this time, the aged care essential care to loved ones with sector is under increasing stress. dementia are not excluded from “For those impacted by giving care at this dementia, there will be an added layer of anxiety,” Mr time.

"People living in residential aged care have the right to assistance to stay connected with their loved ones, even when visitor restrictions are in place.

“We encourage staff to involve families wherever they can to actively plan for different forms of engagement and methods of communication.

Dementia Australia supports the 472,000 Australians living with dementia and the 1.6 million people involved in their care.

Keeping farming kids safe FEW Australians know that nearly one in five (15%) fatalities on a farm are children who are under the age of 15.

More staggering is that more than half (56%) had no active supervision by an adult at the time of the incident.

Following the launch of National Farm Safety Week on Sunday, Farmsafe Australia is shining a spotlight on the importance of adopting more effective risk management practices to protect the next generation of farmers.

This year’s campaign highlights the key safety risks that are most prevalent throughout the life of a farmer, aligning with the theme: ‘Farm Safety Through The Ages – From 2-92’.

Farmsafe Australia hopes that by providing greater access to information and sparking conversations around farm safety, it will reduce the likelihood of injury, illness and fatalities associated with agricultural production among all generations.

Stevi Howdle, Executive Officer at Farmsafe Australia says children are natural learners who mirror the behaviours of their role models, which is why it is essential to always adopt safe and responsible farming practices.

“There is no doubt that our children love to be involved in the everyday work on a family farm, and it is a wonderful opportunity for personal learning, and growth.

“But what our farming communities must do better is construct a safer, and less

RURALRoundUp Farm Safety Week Runs from 18-24 July.

q

risky environment that supports this growth through active supervision by a responsible adult and age-appropriate activities,” said Ms Howdle.

“Farm safety is about better childhood education that explains to our kids why they are unable to participate in certain activities or be situated in specific areas of the farm.

“By setting clear and consistent boundaries, such as safe play areas, ‘no-go

zones’ and instilling a ‘safety always’ culture, farming families can immediately improve the environmental safety at every stage of growth, without dampening the enjoyment of a rich farming lifestyle.

“We need to allow kids to be kids on farms, while ensuring they’re as safe as possible.

“It’s a real balance.”

Farmsafe Australia is a national not-forprofit entity, advocating for farmers. It aims

to connect state farming organisations, peak commodity bodies, influential advocacy bodies and other groups that share a common interest in agricultural health and safety.

Its initiatives are based upon the philosophy that the primary responsibility for farm safety rests with individual farmers, farm workers, and their families.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Strata Scheme Sting LUCY and George were recently engaged to be married and began looking for their first home.

They soon purchased a duplex in a small strata complex, consisting of just two lots.

The duplexes shared a main wall and the common property consisted of a small garden shed, a driveway, a courtyard and a grassed area.

Prior to exchanging contracts Lucy and George were informed that the vendor was unable to provide records of strata management meetings and a capital works fund was never established.

The owners did however share payment of the building insurance premiums.

Everything went well for the first couple of years.

Then Dave, the neighbour, decided that the driveway and courtyard on his side of the complex needed upgrading.

Dave obtained a couple of quotes and settled on Peter the Paver.

Dave met with Lucy and George, who agreed that it would make the place look great.

Dave had the work done and Peter’s invoice came to $15,000.

Dave then sought to recover half this cost from Lucy and George.

Lucy and George were shocked as it was their understanding that each owner was responsible for their own “area”.

They sought legal advice and were informed that as the land is strata titled and there were no special bylaws to the contrary, that the strata law applied, whereby all lot owners are liable to contribute towards capital works.

However, they were also advised that Dave may not have complied with the formal requirements regarding notice and voting at meetings of the owners corporation.

It is important to understand your rights and responsibilities if you are part of a Strata Scheme.

DEAR News Of The Area, AS an 11 year old in 1958, reading my dad’s paper, I was alarmed by a scientist’s warning of imminent global warming.

Digging and drilling subterranean carbon, burning the same, and expelling CO2 into the atmosphere would lead to doom.

Initially alarmed, reason prevailed.

Adults were responsible, well meaning carers.

No need to worry, they would sort this out.

Innocence!

As an adult, I’ve lost my naivety.

DEAR Jasminda,

WHAT is your philosophy on pets at the table during mealtimes?

Mr Kevin P. Dear Kevin,

Democracy on the agenda DEAR News Of The Area, LET'S trust democracy is on the agenda for the July 22 Coffs Harbour City Council meeting, with a recommendation to authorise the sale of Council's current headquarters.

This is Council's last meeting before it goes into caretaker mode, during which no major decisions can be made, until the new Council is elected.

Based on what was said at Council's last meeting, there will be a strong push to authorise the sale, to a bidder who is unknown to the voters.

If this sale proceeds, the Council will no longer own its headquarters and will therefore have to build the new Cultural and Civic Centre.

This mystery buyer arriving just before the Council election is an amazing coincidence!

Some councillors' performance at recent meetings gives the impression that they and senior staff own the building and can sell it with virtually no information being available to ratepayers.

All we know is that various experts are saying that the offer price is too low.

I believe that ratepayers, who own the building, should be told who wants to buy it and is the offer price reasonable.

The lack of public information about this whole deal makes a mockery of Council's regular claims of transparency.

Council's next meeting gives the Mayor and her three supporters the last opportunity to demonstrate

that they have some respect for democracy.

Clearly there is strong opposition to the Cultural and Civic Centre, which four Councillors dismiss as a noisy minority.

If the Mayor and her supporters believe that the majority of residents support the Cultural and Civic Centre, they should be confident to let the next Council make the decision to sell its headquarters.

If instead, they use the old strategy of the Mayor's casting vote to sell this building to a mystery buyer at the last meeting before going into caretaker mode, then all the councillors supporting this sale can guarantee they won't be re-elected.

They would also be clearly demonstrating that they couldn't care less what the voters think.

Regards, Doreen PILE, Sawtell

What do our local politicians think about climate change?

What disturbs me is the anti-science buffoonery of the National Party leadership where ignorance takes a formal structure.

There’s no time to waste, no comfort knowing history will judge climate sceptics as fools.

So, I’m calling on our local State and Federal members to provide their opinions on climate change.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD WILLIAM Wingfield was the final selector in the party of four to travel to the Kempsey Lands Office to officially purchase land.

The son of an agricultural labourer, he was born in Willingham, Suffolk, England, in 1834.

His brother George had emigrated to

The Line-up for Land (Part 4) Australia in 1844 as a Bounty emigrant – his employer, W C Wentworth paying for his voyage and supplying weekly food rations and in return, receiving a farm labourer bound to him for an agreed time.

By the early 1850s William was working as the servant of an outdoor clergyman in his hometown when he decided to follow his brother to Australia.

On his arrival in the mid-1850s, the brothers reunited and worked in Clarence Town, near the Karuah River.

George had married Eliza Howden in 1852 and six years later William married her sister Mary, then each couple, along with

Eliza and Mary’s mother, Mary Howden and George and Eliza’s four children, moved to Ulmarra, leasing their land.

After George’s sudden death not long after their arrival, Eliza married George Leeson, farmer, sugar cane grower and publican in 1862.

The couple had eight children, in addition to the five from Eliza’s first marriage and settled at Swan Bay on the Richmond River, before moving to Pimlico in their retirement.

William and Mary remained in Ulmarra, farming and growing sugar cane and by 1881, when William selected their land at Coffs Harbour, they had ten children.

He chose lot 5, consisting of 160 acres and they moved to the area that year to experiment with growing sugar cane.

Briefly, William also took over the running of his brother-in-law’s premises, the Traveller’s Hotel, located halfway between the Clarence and Richmond Rivers, during George’s temporary absence.

They persevered for five years, however the climate was not suitable for sugarcane, so they returned to Ulmarra, residing at Coldstream.

After Mary died in 1896, William resided with his eldest son at Southgate until his death in May 1911.

13 local and regional builders sign on to Coffs Bypass project WORK is powering ahead on the game-changing Coffs Harbour bypass, with 13 local builders the latest to sign on to help deliver

the town’s biggest ever infrastructure project.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the new opportunities

are being offered to locals as part of the Industry Participation Plan.

“The Australian and NSW Governments are committed to ensuring locals benefit from the biggest infrastructure project in Coffs Harbour’s history,” Mr Conaghan said.

“From start to finish the Coffs Harbour bypass is expected to support as many as 12,000 direct and indirect jobs.

“So far, more than 30 local businesses have also been engaged to assist with early work activities.”

State Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said work has begun on at-house noise treatments, with assessments continuing on eligible properties.

“As the assessments continue, the local builders

we’ve signed up are starting installation of noise treatments at some of the most affected properties,” Mr Singh said.

“Properties may be eligible for a range of treatments including seals to windows and doors; reglazing with acoustic glass; installation of air conditioning; acoustic insulation; or relining of exposed walls.”

Early work has also commenced to relocate the water main at Coramba for the Coramba Road interchange, which is expected to be finished by the end of August, weather permitting.

Transport for NSW has released a Project Update which provides more information about at-house noise treatments, utility relocations and

Government backs manufacturers to build scale and jobs FEDERAL Member Pat Conaghan says manufacturers, research institutions and organisations in the Cowper electorate are being encouraged to work together on job-creating projects as part of the $800 million Collaboration stream of the Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI).

He said the Collaboration stream will support business-to-business and business-to-research collaboration across the six National Manufacturing Priorities under the MMI, the centrepiece of the Government’s $1.5 billion Modern Manufacturing Strategy.

The launch of the Collaboration stream of the MMI follows the opening of the Translation and Integration streams of the MMI earlier this year.

Friday, 23 July, 2021

“Grants of between $20 million and $200 million will be available on a coinvestment basis for largescale collaboration projects,” Mr Conaghan said.

“Collaboration is crucial if we are to build scale in Australian manufacturing and create the jobs we need now in the COVID-19 recovery and for generations to come.

“We want to support transformative collaborations that will spur private sector investment, encouraging our manufacturers to work together, and work with our world class research sector to innovate and become more competitive.

“The Collaboration stream is the largest under the Modern Manufacturing Initiative, designed to turbo-charge Australia’s manufacturing sector while

OLYMPIC GAMES TOKYO 2020: OPENING CEREMONY

PRIME7, 9pm

If you can remember tuning in for the Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony with excitement and pride, you are probably grappling with a different sentiment for the belated 32nd Olympics. Whether it’s a sense of relief (some semblance of normality) or anxiety (hopefully it runs smoothly), there’s no denying sport’s ability to transcend barriers and entertain.

Tonight’s Opening Ceremony, from Tokyo’s National Stadium, promises to be a triumph of optimism and spectacle. The primetime Olympic broadcasting team includes Hamish McLachlan and Abbey Gelmi.

LIMETOWN

It took an epic leap of faith for former skydivers Leigh and Richard to follow their property dreams, but this thrill-seeking couple clearly enjoy a challenge. With no experience in building or restoration to speak of, the pair have sold their Derbyshire home and bought a derelict 17th-century flour mill in Cornwall with an ambitious plan to create a four-storey, threebedroom home in just 12 months that retains as much of the heritagelisted building’s existing ‘history and magic’ as possible. With rotten timber, an unstable floor and a limited budget, presenter Kevin McCloud (right) has some hard truths for these high-flying renovators.

Based on the fictional crime podcast that raced to the top of the iTunes charts in 2015, this dark and addictive drama follows Lia Haddock (Jessica Biel), a journalist intent on unravelling the mystery of how a town’s 300-strong population – including her uncle Emile (Stanley Tucci) – disappeared without a trace, 15 years earlier. Limetown, a closed community in Tennessee, housed a neuroscientific research centre that promised to make the world a better place.

In tonight’s two-part premiere, Lia begins her quest for the truth, investigating a distress call from inside the town.

Sawtell/Toormina Saint makes VFL debut

By Aiden BURGESS S AW T E L L / To o r m i n a Saints star Angus Anderson has made the step up to big-time footy making his VFL debut for the Sydney Swans.

Anderson made his debut in a Swans team which featured 14 AFL listed players, as they took on the ladder leaders and undefeated Footscray Bulldogs.

The Victorian Football League (VFL) is the second-best competition in Australia behind the AFL. The Swans went into the final quarter with a 30-point lead, but the undefeated Footscray side showed why they are sitting at the top of the table, storming home to kick 6 straight goals in the final quarter to secure a thrilling seven-point victory.

Playing predominantly on the wing and half forward flank, the Swans

coaching staff showed their faith in Anderson when they moved him into the midfield for several centre bounces.

His personal highlight came late in the second term when he booted his maiden VFL goal from a set shot on a wide angle.

AFL North Coast Community Football & Competition Manager Paul Taylor said Anderson didn’t look out of place against some of the best players in Australia.

“Angus Anderson marked his first appearance at AFL level with a goal on debut, showing that he was far from overawed playing in a team with 14 AFL listed players,” he said.”

“Wearing the Swans heritage jumper Angus looked at home at VFL level.”

The new Swans player has had a big 2021 which included being named on the supplementary list for the Southport Sharks VFL

team, before his talents were noticed by the Swans and he joined the Sydney Swans Academy under 19 team.

The Sawtell footballer was also named in the Allies squad for this year's NAB AFL Under 19 National Championships.

40 years ago, and was a founding member of the Coffs Swans club back in 1980.

He transitioned into umpiring from playing and administration but had to

step aside 10 years ago due to ill health.

“I had chronic fatigue for six years and early this year when I felt good again, I thought I better have something to get me back on the horse so I thought why not umpire,” he said.

The veteran umpire explained why officiating was still a natural fit for him.

umpires taking their first steps as a lime green official.

“There’s a lot of young umpires which start at this level and the advantage I have is not only do I umpire but I encourage,” he said.

“If a kid makes a good decision I say ‘great stuff ’, I don’t clap or anything but I just tell them ‘that’s great work’ which is probably something you’re unable to do in senior footy.”

Pearce is living proof you are never too old to be an umpire.

“Give it a go,” he urged.

“I think it can be quite fulfilling and it’s good to see kids playing sport.

“And if it wasn’t for this I’d have to be doing something else.”

Pearce likened himself to a vintage model car.

“Older men playing sport is a bit like old cars, a bit more maintenance is required,” he said.

AFL North Coast Community Football and Competition Manager Paul Taylor said Pearce had shown you could always be involved in a sport you love.

“This year Hal has returned to the Umpiring ranks at the age of 74 because he could,” he said.

“In doing so, he’s showing the whole community it’s never too late to get involved.”

Big Bash is Back

By David WIGLEY THE Big Bash is back as the Sydney Sixers return to Coffs Harbour for two blockbuster clashes at C.ex International Stadium.

The first match takes place on New Year's Day, 1 January 2022, against the Melbourne Renegades and the second match is on Sunday 9 January against last year's champions, the Perth Scorchers.

Steve Meakins, the Cricket Club Officer for Northern NSW, described the last Big Bash match in Coffs Harbour as epic, one of the best he has ever seen.

“The last match here was epic, the Adelaide Strikers set the Sixers a big total, the pendulum swung throughout, and the match went down to the final over, everyone was on the edge of their seats.

“It was absolutely sensational, and to see the Sydney Sixers finish the match with a six over long on was the icing on the cake, the crowd erupted.

“The atmosphere was awesome, the crowd were doing Mexican waves, singing, cheering, the wacky men were in top form, you just couldn’t have asked for a better experience, I can’t wait for the next one, what

a great way to start the new year,” enthused Steve.

On Sunday 9 January the Sixers will play last year’s competition winners the Perth Scorchers and Steve is expecting another sell out “The last Big Bash in Coffs Harbour between the Sixers and Strikers sold out well in advance, my phone was ringing hot with people desperate for tickets, I just had to say sorry, sold out is sold out.

“I expect it will be another sell out especially if there are any restrictions in numbers, I’d recommend locking in your tickets early.

“Cricket is really popular in the region, people will travel big distances to watch matches of this magnitude, it’s great for the town, the more the better,” said Steve.

The high-profile matches are another coup for the region which is becoming a hub for premier sporting events, as Dan Heather, the Section Leader for Stadium and Major Events at Coffs Harbour City Council explained.

“C.ex Coffs International Stadium is recognised as one of NSW’s premier regional sporting stadiums, and we are so pleased to partner with the Sydney Sixers again to bring Big Bash to Regional NSW, not once but twice in

2022.

“With a quality playing surface, a premium wicket, amazing broadcast, media, team and spectator facilities, fans will be treated to high energy cricket right here on the Coffs Coast,” said Dan. Cricket NSW CEO, Lee Germon said, “The Sixers absolutely loved playing in Coffs Harbour the last time they had the opportunity and we are very excited to be coming back this summer for BBL|11.

“The Coffs Coast is a wonderful part of Northern NSW and the opportunity for us to bring two games up there and inspire more people to play and love cricket is too good to pass up,” said Lee. Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh, hailed the announcement as a smashing success for the region.

“After the smashing success of the first game, it’s great to be able to welcome two Big Bash games back to Coffs Harbour.

“The C.ex Coffs International Stadium is perfectly suited to Big Bash cricket, and the enthusiastic support of the community last time is set to be repeated come January,” said Gurmesh.

Tickets are expected to go on sale in coming months.

Football Clubs Embrace Referee Recognition Week

By David WIGLEY FOOTBALL clubs on the Coffs Coast have embraced Referee Recognition Week at a time when referees are in short supply.

One of North Coast’s newest referees Lee Jenkins got involved in becoming a match official through her workplace and has been learning from referee legend Phil Payne.

“I got involved through my workplace as I coach the Primary Girls soccer team, they thought I'd be interested in completing the referee course.

“I actually didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I have, every age group offers something different.

“I love the banter that goes on in the older age groups and I really enjoy being a part of the younger age groups learning of the game.

“At the end of the day though, I just love to see everyone having fun with their buddies whether they be on their team, the opposing team or as an official,” said Lee. Referee Coordinator for

Friday, 23 July, 2021

North Coast Football, David Horseman, explained the challenges and rewards of being a referee.

“Refereeing is no easy job, the laws of the game keep changing each year and referees are expected to be on top of their game at all times.

“Phil Payne would have seen lots of changes to the laws and the game itself in his countless years as a referee, instructor and assessor.

“Referees also have to deal with dissent from players, who know the laws better than the referees of course and sometimes abuse from the football loving spectators with a different perspective yet again.

“This is why it is sometimes difficult to attract and retain referees, I implore clubs and players to show more respect for referees even when they might get a call wrong, they are doing their best to make a split second decision.

“Not all players and spectators are like this and those that support

the officials are most appreciated,” said David.

David played for Sawtell FC before taking on the role of referee coordinator as he explained the pathway to becoming a paid referee.

“Lee Jenkins is new to our ranks this year and is really enjoying the

challenges.

“We certainly encourage more female referees to come and give it a try, you will start out by completing some online training, before attending a face to face course where you also complete a workbook.

“Once you have passed, you will be appointed as an assistant referee on junior games and some senior games until you have enough confidence and are able to move to junior centres and progress from there.

Sawtell/Toormina Saints move into top 4 with thrilling win

By Aiden BURGESS THE Sawtell/Toormina Saints have moved into the top four with a thrilling 3-point win against the Port Macquarie Magpies during Round 12 of the AFL North Coast season.

The Saints earnt a vital win in front of their home fans at Richardson Park, as they look to clinch a finals berth with just two games to go until this year's final series.

The Saints prevailed 13.7 (85) to 12.10 (82) which saw them replace the Port Macquarie Magpies in fourth spot on the ladder.

The Magpies had the better running to start the match with their forwards winning the contests, as they showed why they

were in the top 4 taking an 8-point lead into quarter time.

With a top-4 spot on the line, the Saints turned the match on its head with a dominant display in the second quarter as they started to gain the ascendancy with great forward 50 entries and free flowing footy.

Six goals in the second quarter by the Saints saw them take a 15-point lead into half-time.

The Saints would maintain their lead taking a 13-point lead into the final quarter.

The never-say-die Magpies kept it close until the final bell, but the Saints held on for the narrow win and the vital four points.

The ability of his side

to keep the Magpies at bay pleased Saints coach Brandt Lee. “Just anytime Port made it closer we dug a bit deeper, we knew what was on the line for us so we were willing to fight that bit harder to make sure we secured the win,” he said.

Elsewhere in Round 12, and the Coffs Harbour Breakers sealed this year's minor premiership with a 68-point win at home against the Grafton Tigers.

The Lismore Swans showed their premiership credentials with a 21-point win against the second placed Northern Beaches Blues.

And the Nambucca Valley Lions earnt their second win of the season beating the Casino Lions by

103 points.

The Marlins close win follows their epic one-point victory in their prior local derby in June.

The Marlins claimed the Des Hoy Cup by virtue of winning two of their three meetings against the Snappers this season.

The Snappers took a 15-10 lead into half-time at Marlins Rugby Park, with the match played in tricky conditions due to the wild wind.

A Marlins penalty with 10 minutes to go in their attacking 22 set the scene for a dramatic finish.

Despite being down by 5 in the dying stages, Marlins captain AJ Gilbert was confident his side could produce a late match winner.

“I wasn’t too worried as I knew we had plenty of time and we got enough points in us when we play to our attack shape,” he said.

“They are always close no matter where both teams are on the ladder,” he said.

North Coast Football’s results have improved across the board over the last couple of months which Alex attributes to setting high expectations.

“Our focus over the last two months has been high expectations of self and of others.

“This is starting to show on the field, with all teams not only improving in results, but also

implementing their game model to a higher level.

“It was always going to be a massive challenge for the squads last week with a game in Lake Macquarie on Saturday followed by a game on Sunday at home.

“Recovery becomes hard when you are sitting on a bus for four hours after a game but all sides stuck to the challenges for their back to back.

WALKING basketball has arrived in Coffs Harbour and is a unique take on the fastpaced game.

Walking Basketball sessions will be held over five Thursday sessions starting on Thursday, 22 July, from 10am-11am at Sportz Central.

Walking Basketball was introduced as a means to provide an alternative program that allowed adults and seniors to play basketball as a form of gentle exercise.

It allows people to stay involved in the sport they may have been a part of for some time, or to try a new sport altogether and learn new skills.

All ages and abilities are welcome, with no experience required.

The only rules to the game are simply no running.

Walking Basketball is for anyone and everyone with all abilities and ages welcome from beginners right through to seasoned ballers.

Walking Basketball provides optimal health benefits to all who participate including those who might be intimidated by the pace and impact of a traditional basketball game

but love the slower, more social version of Walking Basketball.

The sessions last for 60 minutes and are made up of a warm up, skill-based drills, and ‘game play’, with sessions designed to be adaptable based on the participants skill level, fitness and mobility.

Anyone interested in taking part in Walking Basketball can contact Cristi Juffermans on 0447 828 475 or cristi.juffermans@bnsw. com.au.

Coffs Harbour Basketball Association will also be hosting a program specifically for girls.

‘I Am A Girl, I Can Do Anything’ is a free four week program held each Saturday morning from 10am to 11am at Sportz Central.

The program will give girls a taste of all the different aspects of basketball in a safe learning environment and is designed to get the girls together to pick up a basketball, learn new skills and fall in love with the game.

The first session gets underway tomorrow morning with those attending encouraged to dress in pink.

Comets’ Magnificent Seven STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 64

where the Comets will be wearing a Gumbaynggirr jersey designed by former player Tony Hart to commemorate the round.

“Yes it’s a massive game because it's first against third, but this match has so much significance because it is the Indigenous round and it will be the biggest match of the season.

“Tony Hart played for the Comets over thirty years ago and won grand finals, he is a Gumbaynggirr artist and we will be wearing his design on Saturday against Macksville to acknowledge and celebrate the Indigenous round.

“Tony’s great nephew, Buddy Hart plays in the centre for the Comets so the history runs deep through the football club.

“The shirt design is from Tony Hart’s painting ‘Way of Life' which has significant meaning.

“We are truly honoured to wear this shirt and I know the players will play their hearts out wearing this precious jersey.

“We’ve been planning

this all year and can’t wait,” said Steve.

Gumbaynggirr Artist and former Comets player Tony Hart explained the meaning behind his painting ‘Way of Life’.

“My Way of Life painting is about the lifestyle of the local Gumbaynggirr peoples.

“The sun is the beginning of a new day.

“Families would go to the beaches to gather pipis and the men would sing out in Gumbaynggirr language for the dolphins to bring the

schools of fishes into the shore.

“The creeks and rivers have an abundance of fish, turtles, oysters and crabs.

“We take only what we need for a meal.

Sawtell Panthers Show of Force

By David WIGLEY

THE Sawtell Panthers under 18s defeated competition leaders Macksville Sea Eagles with the last play of the game at Rex Hardaker Oval last Thursday evening in the Tooheys New Group 2 competition.

After 77 minutes the scores were locked at 1818 until Panthers hooker Grady Spokes played the ball out wide for flying winger Hamish Cap to deliver into the corner and seal the points for the

Panthers to consolidate their position in second place.

Panthers coach Peter Barrett was proud of the team.

“There was a great atmosphere at our home ground and the young blokes showed great commitment.

“I am very proud of them and hopefully we can move on from here.

“There’s been a great rivalry between the Panthers in second spot and Macksville in first position,

we’ve played each other four times and we’ve won two and Macksville have won two and there’s never been more than six points between us,” said Peter.

The victory for the Panthers was made all the more sweeter in front of an enthusiastic crowd who have been starved of rugby at their home ground.

“Unfortunately we didn’t have numbers for first and reserve grade senior teams this year which means we play our home matches following Woolgoolga who don’t have an under 18s team,” said

Peter.

“As you can see, the people here tonight showed up in force and voted with their feet, they love their footy so hopefully we can raise a first and reserve grade team next year and play our matches at home in front of our home crowd,” said Peter.

If positions remain unchanged, the Sawtell Panthers will face Macksville in the under 18s major semi final and the Coffs Harbour Comets will play the South Grafton Rebels in the minor semi final.

HISTORY was made in urunga with Aaron Chojniki winning the major and minor singles championship in 2021.

This has only ever happened once before in club history.

This young bowler has certainly stepped

up in talent this year with some of the veterans seeing him become a name to be considered when putting teams together.

Mitchell George has only been playing bowls less than a year and has also shown great progress with his bowls.

Congratulations Aaron.

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.
