Community COVID Workshops FROM Page 1

q Workshop participant Allen Duggan proudly displays his participation certificate. Photo: David Tune.

All sessions are fully booked with participants from targeted at risk community groups.

The aim of the workshops is to decrease the transmission of Covid-19, increase testing, increase vaccination rates, reduce the spread of the virus, build capacity in the community and to encourage building resilience in local communities and services.

Targeted groups include local tenant leaders from the Tenant Action Group, Aboriginal communities, community housing tenants, multicultural groups and others including migrant and refugee communities.

Sessions will also be filmed and then distributed to local high schools.

First session participant Allen Duggan told News Of The Area, “I came because I

support my elderly family and neighbours and there is a lot of mistrust about information that is disseminated from various sources, and people don’t know where to get trustworthy information.

“Now I can answer their questions from a health point of view with facts from authoritative sources.”

Other participants mentioned seeking more information on the impact of unvaccinated people returning to support groups and learning new valuable information about rapid antigen testing and how it can be utilised.

The workshops also distributed Covid packs with masks, a rapid antigen test,

HEALTHY North Coast is encouraging community members seeking a booster shot to use the Vaccine Clinic Finder to book ahead, with demand increasing on all COVID-19 vaccines.

“With the Australian Government recently reducing the gap between second dose and booster from six months to five, and the ongoing transmission of COVID-19, we would expect to see an increased demand for booster vaccines across the region,” said Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Officer, Julie Sturgess.

“While there might be a slight mismatch in supply over the next fortnight, due to

the recent changes in advice and ordering timeframes, vaccine providers are currently increasing orders to be delivered toward the end of the month.

“Most people who are looking for a booster should be able to book ahead for January.

“The first thing people should do is check their vaccination record on myGov, their COVID-19 Vaccination Dashboard or their MyHealthRecord app to see when their second dose was and then add five months on to that.

“Those who are immunocompromised are also recommended to receive a third primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine a minimum of

information on signs and symptoms, sanitiser and a referral information for local support organisations.

two months after their second dose.

“Next step is to use the Vaccine Clinic Finder to find available supply in your region and to book ahead.

“Remember, there are multiple options available for people to get their COVID-19 vaccine – through their local general practice, pharmacy or at a NSW Health Vaccine Clinic.

“It's to be expected, though, that supply may vary from provider to provider, as demand varies day-by-day as well.”

Ms Sturgess said regardless of which vaccine people received in their first two doses, the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines of Pfizer and Moderna were currently preferred over AstraZeneca for the booster dose.

“AstraZeneca is not yet TGA-approved as a booster, but may be used as a booster for those who have had contraindications to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines or had AstraZeneca for their primary course,” she said.

“This is subject to availability in your area, however, and you should speak to your GP about your personal situation.

“It’s always best to consult your local healthcare provider if you are unsure about which option is best for you.

“I’m sure North Coast residents also join me in thanking our GPs, pharmacy staff, Aboriginal medical services staff and other primary health care providers who have done an incredible job for so many months to ensure our community is as safe as possible from the worst of COVID. “Thanks to them and the North Coast community, our vaccination rates are up there with the highest in the country.”

Anyone seeking a booster dose is encouraged to use the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder at https://www.health.gov.au/ resources/apps-and-tools/covid-19-vaccineclinic-finder to check vaccine availability and booking options in their region.

Coffs Harbour elects Paul Amos as its new Mayor FROM Page 1 at the Coffs Harbour Local Government Election on Saturday 4 December were finalised on the morning of Monday 20 December, following the distribution of preference votes.

Following the distribution of preferences, Cr Paul Amos was elected as Mayor with a total of 15,115 votes, taking out the vote over Rodger Pryce who finished in second place with 9,180 votes and Cr Sally Townley with 7,551 votes.

“They made me Mayor, well what about that!”

Paul said excitedly on Monday afternoon when contacted by News Of The Area following the announcement.

Cr Amos said he found out the good news around 9.30am on Monday morning after he was texted by a friend.

“I had an inkling that this might be the eventual outcome,” Paul said, due to his early lead in the Mayoral race during initial vote counts.

Cr Amos said the two most pressing issues for the Coffs Harbour region, which he hopes to address as Mayor, include finding a solution to the region’s

Friday, 24 December 2021

waste issue, and the future planning of the popular Jetty Foreshores area.

“We’ve got the immediate issues of our waste and finding a better solution with the way we handle our waste,” he said.

“Our tip has reached the end of its life and carting our rubbish to south east Queensland is not sustainable.

“That’s the number one thing we have to look at.”

Cr Amos said the other “immediate issue” was the future development of the Jetty Foreshores area.

“The immediate issue for me at the moment is that we make sure the Jetty Foreshores has appropriate improvements because at the moment on the table as per our last meeting on Tuesday we were given plans that told us that we were not considering at this point in time anything around the old defunct fishing club, and we were not considering too much at this point in time around the marina centre,” Paul said of a recent Jetty Foreshores Steering Committee meeting.

The Jetty Foreshores Steering Committee was established by the State Government to determine

future development at the Jetty Foreshores area.

“We were considering (at the meeting) building envelopes with varying zonings that run along the railway land that are on the east of the railway.

“At this stage the target is to have five stories (buildings) with 240 full time residential units and 60 tourist accommodation units.

“So on that basis, I believe that we would look foolish in 20 years time if we allowed that to happen on that land.”

Cr Amos said instead he would like the Coffs community and the Jetty Foreshores Steering Committee to be presented with some options other than what the Government is planning for the area.

“We seem to be back where we started from,” he said.

“I would like to see associated development that will enhance the area, some commercial development, restaurants, and I would like to see us not back ourselves into a corner where we hoped in 20 years time that we had kept that land for the community.

“The popularity of the Jetty Foreshores area you

can see on any weekend is enormous.”

Cr Amos said the parcel of land the NSW Government is looking at developing into residential and tourist units is to the north of the Jetty Foreshores area, which is currently used as a community car park on weekends, and to the east of the railway line.

“If you’ve got buildings that are five stories and more, it is very intimidating for people who are trying to enjoy the parkland and picnicking areas,” he said.

Cr Amos said it was nice to have his hard work on Council acknowledged by the people who voted for him for Mayor.

“It’s some sort of endorsement that I’m on the same wavelength as the general community with a lot of issues,” he said.

“I think everything is positive for Coffs Harbour into the future and I’m very happy and humbled to have the privilege of being the next Mayor.”

A total of 45,155 Formal votes were cast across the Coffs Harbour local government area for the Mayoral election out of 56,687 residential and non-residential electors enrolled to vote in the Coffs

Covid booster dose available earlier

q The six month wait to get your Covid-19 booster shot has now been reduced to five months. Photo: Breast Cancer Network Australia.

By Emma DARBIN AS COVID-19 cases reach record numbers across NSW, the State Government has brought forward eligibility to receive the third Covid booster vaccination from six months to five months.

This means anyone 18 years and older who received their second Covid-19 vaccination in July 2021 or earlier is now eligible to receive the Covid booster dose.

NSW Health has already delivered more than 120,000 vaccine booster doses to increase levels of immunity to the COVID-19 virus.

People are eligible for a booster five months after a second dose and NSW Health can accommodate people about to travel who might need a slightly earlier appointment.

The number of people eligible to receive a booster will increase steadily in 2022, with around 40 per cent of the NSW population to be eligible at the end of January, 64 per cent in February, 87 per cent in March, and 91 per cent by April 2022.

The booster dose is not mandatory, however it is recommended to maintain immunity against COVID-19.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet urged every eligible person to book for their booster dose as soon as possible.

“As we navigate our way out of the pandemic, we remain focused on saving lives and protecting livelihoods and getting your booster shot will offer you protection against COVID,” Mr Perrottet said.

“Our frontline health workers have been

incredible over the past two years and their dedication is greatly appreciated.

“It’s time for us to step up again and get a booster to protect ourselves, the community and those who have done so much to keep us safe.”

Minister for Health Brad Hazzard said NSW Health will also be keeping its COVID testing centres open during the holiday months, so people can get a test when they need it.

“The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to get vaccinated and get a booster if you are eligible,” Mr Hazzard said.

“We need everyone to continue to do their

bit and follow the rules, so if you have even the slightest of symptoms get tested and stay at home.”

Those eligible for a booster dose can book in at a NSW Health vaccination clinic through the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder at https:// www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-andtools/covid-19-vaccine-clinic-finder.

You can also book in to receive a booster dose at a participating pharmacy and your local GP. For further information about the Covid-19 booster vaccination program visit www.health.gov.au/booster-dose.

‘Ball Against DV’ tournament hits the courts

By David TUNE

AFTER multiple postponements during the year due to pandemic restrictions the inaugural ‘Ball Against DV’ 3x3 Hustle basketball competition finally took place on Saturday December 18 at Sportz Central on Bray Street, Coffs Harbour.

The event was dedicated to providing all proceeds from the day to Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services to support their ongoing work.

Coffs Harbour Police Regional Domestic and Family Violence Coordinator Kiah Bowen helped organise the event and told News Of The Area, “We were concerned just a few weeks before when we only had six

teams registered, but we are absolutely over the moon to have had 53 teams, including some from Brisbane and Sydney turn up to play, it has been absolutely full on.

“On the strength of this we are looking at running the event again next year.”

Kiah also acknowledged the outstanding efforts of local businesses that came on board with sponsorship and support, as well as donations for the raffle.

The competition featured rounds for juniors, men’s and women’s teams and mixed emergency services teams games, as well as shooting competitions and a wheelchair basketball exhibition match.

Warrina CEO Charlotte Young said, “These funds will allow us to specifically

River Sounds to hit Bello Showgrounds

q

to push forward on my own to deliver a festival at the Bellingen Showgrounds.

“This was the birth of River Sounds.”

It’s been a turbulent time for River Sounds since the event was first announced in May, 2021. Only four weeks after launching, state wide Covid health restrictions were introduced leaving Mr Lewis with no choice but to postpone the event.

“It was a difficult time.

“A huge amount of effort had gone into planning, artist curation, marketing, site planning, plus we’d sold quite a few tickets.

“There was so much work done that would need to be

re-done.

“It was pretty heartbreaking to be honest.”

The event originally scheduled for August was postponed to mid-October.

Then the October date was inevitably postponed as Covid continued to be a concern across NSW. The one positive of postponing the event was gaining more time, which allowed Mr Lewis to secure a stellar line-up of artists.

Headlining the event is First Nations artist Danzal Baker aka Baker Boy, and 90s grunge-rock icons Regurgitator.

Baker Boy, a proud Yolngu man from Arnhem Land, is

currently one of the biggest artists in Australia.

In 2021, he performed at the AFL Grand Final, was nominated for Triple J Album of the Year, was nominated for NIMA’s Artist of the Year, was the eighth most played artist on Triple J, and released his highly acclaimed debut LP ‘Gela’.

Brisbane natives Regurgitator rose to fame in the late 90s, renowned for powerful live performances showcasing their unique blend of punk, grunge, electro, and pop sounds which saw them grace the stage of most major festivals across the world and pick up a swag of ARIA’s including Album of the Year (1998) for their second LP ‘Unit’.

When asked about the line-up Mr Lewis explains that every artist is close to his heart.

“I spent a couple of years in my early twenties living in remote parts of Queensland and Northern Territory working as a tour guide.

“This experience gave me a deeper understanding and respect of Indigenous culture and a love for First Nations music.

“I’m still passionate about this 25 years on from my first experiences.

“I really wanted to showcase First Nations artists at River Sounds.

“This led me to securing Baker Boy and Noongar man

(Wyndham, East Kimberley WA) Dallas Woods.

“I’m incredibly proud to be bringing these two amazing First Nations artists to Bellingen.

“Before heading bush, my adolescence was spent watching underground bands perform in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley in the early 90s.

“It was here, in tiny, sweaty venues where I discovered Regurgitator, Resin Dogs and later on Butterfingers.

“These bands were some of my favourites growing up.

“They all became huge, and they’re still making fantastic music and touring to this day.

“Triple J and Double J are the soundtracks to my life.

“I’ve always got these stations on in the car or at home, and learn about new music all the time through these radio stations.

“It’s where I first heard some of the other River Sounds artists like Jerome Farah, The Terrys, Adrian Eagle, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers and Pinch Points.

“These artists are on the cusp of blowing up. It’s really exciting to have them perform at River Sounds.

“The full line-up is incredibly diverse and features most contemporary genres including punk, psychedelic rock, hip hop, RnB, surf rock, plus an

electronic stage featuring some of Australia’s best DJs. “The lineup is a bit like a mini Splendour in the Grass.

“Bellingen has never experienced a festival quite like this one.”

River Sounds opens on Friday, January 14 at 2pm until 11.00pm, followed on Saturday, January 15 from 12pm till 11pm.

There are two stages at the event, both of which are undercover to provide shelter from the rain and sun.

Over the two days 30 acts will perform at the event, and over 120 individual artists.

Main stage: Regurgitator, Baker Boy, Butterfingers, Adrian Eagle, The Terrys, Dallas Woods, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers, Jerome Farah, Resin Dogs, Pinch Points, The Regime, The Pinheads, Sunfruits, Nice Biscuit, The Stained Daisies, The Good Love.

Boiler room: Phil Smart, Simon Caldwell, Katch, Biz, Pob, Jimmy D, Jamie B, Freebass, Bhakti, Jahzen, Phoenix, Dave Forward, Delusional Monk, Tropical Punch.

River Sounds is an all ages and licenced event with markets and food stalls onsite.

Camping is also available through the Bellingen Showgrounds.

AFTER two false starts due to Covid, River Sounds festival is finally going ahead over the weekend of January 14-15 at the Bellingen Showground.

The two day contemporary music festival is the largest event to be staged on the NSW Mid North Coast since pre-Covid, and features some of the biggest names in Australian music.

Festival Director Ben Lewis describes the event as being a long held ambition of his, which has been in the pipeline since 2017.

Bellingen Shire Food Resilience Vision project

q Sue Lennox, Co-Founder of OzGREEN facilitating a stakeholders workshop in Bellingen.

q Paul Harper, Cedar Bar and Kitchen, Aaron Knowles, Bello Food Box and Anton Juodvalkis, OzGREEN CEO.

By Andrea FERRARI OVER the last three months, OzGREEN has been meeting with local food stakeholders and communities to investigate their biggest concerns about Food Resilience, what they would like to see happen (vision), how they see this vision can be achieved (change ideas) and action plans to deliver.

“These meetings and workshops are all part of the Bellingen Shire Food Resilience Vision project, an initiative of Bellingen Shire Council, supported by a grant from the Australian Government and NSW Government,” Sue Lennox, Co-Founder of OzGREEN told News Of The Area.

The meetings were interactive, structured and encouraged visionary ideas and commitment to action.

“Over the coming weeks the outputs from these various workshops will be collated into a report to be presented to the Bellingen Shire Council in March 2022.

“This report will be a useful resource for the community and stakeholders and can be used to support funding applications for projects to strengthen our Food Resilience,” said Sue. Some of the ‘concerns’ being expressed by community members attending the meetings include: • Lack of resilience in the current food systems, including ‘just-in-time’ supply chains.

• The impact of climate change and increasing environmental threats.

• Farm viability and succession young people are leaving the Shire and land prices are going through the roof.

• Lack of community understanding

about where their food comes and seasonal eating.

Some of the ‘Vision’ ideas include: • We have rapidly transitioned to an economic system that is regenerative, circular and resilient.

• Our food systems are intelligent, resilient, localised, intergenerational, coordinated and collaborative, supporting q Bruce Naylor, Neighbourhood Centres of Bellingen Shire with Julie Ferguson, OzHarvest.

Many of the ‘Change’ ideas are encouragingly inclusive and collaborative.

They include community education programs, community events, partnerships, and infrastructure legislation to encourage Food Resilience.

Telephone enquiries should be directed to Robert Fletcher on 6648 4000.

Squad have arrested eight men and seized mobile phones, electronic items and illicit drugs, as part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged transmission of child abuse material through an adult telephone service.

Earlier this year, Child Exploitation Internet Unit (CEIU) investigators established Strike Force Hank to investigate an adult telephone chat service used by a number of men to allegedly arrange the dissemination of child abuse material and discuss the sexual abuse of children.

Since last month, detectives have executed seven search warrants at locations across NSW, including Shoal Bay, Petersham, Cranebrook, Coffs Harbour, Gerroa, Surry Hills, and Stanmore.

During searches of the Stanmore and Coffs Harbour properties, police allegedly located and seized quantities of cannabis.

At all seven of the locations, phones and electronic devices have been located and seized for further forensic analysis.

Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Jayne Doherty, said the investigation had

media@newsofthearea.com.au

uncovered alleged chat participants who were aggressive in their pursuit of child sex offending.

“We will allege that each of the men arrested by detectives over the past month expressed desires to engage in sexual activity with children, and in some cases, attempted to access child abuse material from other users of the service,” Det Supt Doherty said.

Eight men aged between 34 and 71 have been arrested and charged over their alleged involvement in the chat service, including former NRL star Brett Finch who has been charged with five alleged counts of use of a carriage service to transmit, publish or promote child abuse.

He was granted conditional bail to appear in his local court in January.

All other men currently remain before the courts.

“Producing, disseminating or possessing child abuse material are serious offences, and detectives will continue to dismantle these types of operations, so children are free from harmful situations, exploitation and abuse,” Det Supt Doherty said.

Pink Ladies deliver colourful mural for paediatric ED

By Andrea FERRARI

A BIG, bright, playful artwork by local artist Joe Neathway Brown has been donated by the Coffs Harbour Pink Ladies to Coffs Harbour Health Campus – a donation that will entertain youngsters attending the Emergency Department.

The delightful work of art was funded by the Pink Ladies through a $24,000 donation, but ED Staff Specialist Dr Sarah O’Rourke said the artist’s creation was priceless.

“This is a magical underwater world for kids to escape to during what might be the scariest moments of their life,” Dr O’Rourke said.

Joe told News Of The Area, “When I first get a brief for an illustration I write a list of all the elements I want to include.

“To make the list, I research the area, get input from the client, ask locals about some secret spots and if I don’t already know the landscape, I’ll do a scout and see it for myself.

“The challenge for Coffs was following the underwater theme requested in the brief and deciding what part of the walls to cover using the allocated print budget.

Coffs Harbour RES charge woman after cash, cocaine and ‘ice’ seized COFFS Harbour RES have charged a woman after locating ‘ice’, cocaine and cash during a vehicle stop at North Boambee Valley.

In October this year, officers attached to Coffs Harbour Region Enforcement Squad (RES) established Strike Force Praetoria to investigate the supply of prohibited drugs between Sydney and Tweed Heads.

Sapphire Beach artist wins oil section of Jacaranda Exhibition

By Andrea FERRARI

SAPPHIRE Beach artist Jane Wilson has won first prize in the oil section of Grafton’s annual Jacaranda Art Exhibition for the third time.

The exhibition is usually held in conjunction with the Jacaranda Festival in October but COVID restrictions saw the art show postponed until early December.

“It's an exhibition covering most aspects of art practice including drawing, pastels, painting (oil, acrylic, watercolour), sculpture and a generous section for youth art – it's a very inclusive community event,” Jane told News Of The Area.

There are many talented artists in Grafton and its hinterland making competition strong as seen by the works in all of the various sections and in the special Bendigo Bank Prize, open only to those living in the Clarence Valley.

Jane entered the show because, for some years now, she has belonged to the Grafton Art Club and, as

often as possible, attends life drawing sessions there.

Many in the drawing group are serious artists selling and exhibiting their work in various galleries locally and interstate.

Jane's winning work 'Seated Figure' was, in fact, based on a number of life drawings.

“From its early 'drawing' phase the work developed on the canvas into a somewhat pensive figure study as often happens in my work,” Jane said.

“I try to create an inner world of the subject that can be open to interpretation by the viewer.

“It’s a very competitive art exhibition so I was very pleased to have won in my category.”

The exhibition is only on show for a week however the Grafton Regional Gallery had three new shows open in the past week and is well worth a visit.

After completing a Diploma of Art Education in Sydney in 1973, Jane spent several years teaching, and painting in my spare time.

“I took a new career path into graphic design,

eventually running my own business in North Queensland until 1992 after which I resumed parttime painting until I moved to Coffs Harbour in 2006 when I was able to paint full time.

“While I have dabbled in landscapes and still life, I have always been drawn to the figurative and love to capture something of the inner life of the subject.

“I'm inspired by a lifetime of reading and observation: watching and being interested in people and how they react and interact.

“I feel that the varied disciplines of my formal art training and my work in graphic design have informed my work.”

Jane’s first major exhibitions were in Melbourne and has since exhibited in various group shows in Queensland and NSW, selling to private collectors.

Keep it local this Christmas

Book a

table

CHRISTMAS tables full of quality local produce is on top of the NSW Farmers shopping list this year.

Whether it’s ham, seafood, salad, fruit, vegetables, or even wine – NSW Farmers CEO Pete Arkle said there was an abundance of fresh, quality local produce that can be enjoyed over the Christmas break.

“Everything you need for a great Christmas feast can be sourced from right

here in NSW,” Mr Arkle said.

“We’ve all had a challenging year full of ups and downs, and enjoying our great local food is one of the best ways Australians can support local farmers this Christmas.

“Support local families and businesses through choosing their products on supermarket shelves and enjoy your cherries, pork or oysters.”

Mr Arkle said most Australians wanted to shop local after almost two years of

lockdowns, and there were a couple of ways to make sure your Christmas table was full of top-notch Aussie goodies.

“When it comes to your Christmas ham, if there’s a bone in it then it’s Australian grown,” Mr Arkle said.

“There’s a bar chart on most packaged foods that indicates exactly how ‘Australian’ a product is based on where the ingredients are from and where manufacturing took place.

“Country of Origin Labelling has changed a bit over the last few years, so it’s important to look past that iconic jumping kangaroo.”

Nativities celebrated

by Coffs community

By Andrea FERRARI

NATIVITIES at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Coffs Harbour opened its annual weekend display for the community from 17 - 19 December, showing 255 detailed and dainty nativity settings in the most fascinating of shows.

Sparkling with little fairy lights and lamps, the ever-growing collection was styled and curated into an exhibition that was best appreciated up-close.

Church members Linda

Alfred and Kathy Schmitt, who have worked on the shows since their inception 13 years ago, were helped this year for the first time by Charlene Johnson.

“We all have our favourites,” Linda told News Of The Area.

“Look at this one from Africa,” Linda invited.

The little figures are handcrafted and beaded with beautiful attention to detail.

“And the Australian one: the sheep are echidnas, the Holy Family is featured as koalas, the Three Wise Men

are a platypus, a wombat and a kangaroo, and the camel is an emu.”

An avid collector, Kathy said, “A lot of them come from holiday destinations – however, wherever we are we’re always on the lookout for something that’s different or quirky.

“Every year it evolves, and we have different ways of doing things.

“I’m thinking candleshaped lights for the tree next year,” she mused.

Numerous members from the community visited the Nativities over

the weekend, with the overall consensus that the exhibition is fascinating and appealing to all ages, there’s something for everyone and it takes close examination to see all the details of each of the exhibits.

“To see the pleasure in people's eyes makes it all worthwhile,” said Linda.

Adding to the personal touch, Linda drew attention to the skirted tablecloths used to cover each of the display tables.

“These are made by my mum, she’s now 85 years old, and Nativities is all we use them for.

“It’s a little emotional when we get them out of the cupboard each year.”

“It’s a big job packing away on Sunday,” said Linda, “but all so worthwhile.”

Stay safe on country roads this Christmas NSW Farmers is urging people heading into country areas for Christmas to keep an eye out for harvest machinery.

Flooding and heavy rain delayed harvest efforts across much of the state, leading to more activity on and around farms and roads at the end of the year; NSW Farmers Grains Committee Chair Justin Everitt said people needed to take extra care so everyone could enjoy a Merry Christmas.

“There’s a lot of large agricultural vehicles moving on country roads at the

moment, and we’d hate to see a joyous time of the year turn to tragedy for any family,” Mr Everitt said.

“The wet weather has put a damper on harvest efforts but they’re getting back into full swing around the state now, so you may see more machines on the road at this busy time.

“Safety around these vehicles is a shared responsibility, so I’d just ask any visitors to our regions to slow down and keep an eye out on country roads.”

“Remember if the driver can't see you then they don’t know you’re there – so stay back at a safe distance and don’t be impatient,” Mr Everitt said.

“It’s better to be a little late than not to arrive at all.

Lakes Retirement Village shares Christmas with Pete’s Place

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Lakes Retirement Village at North Boambee Valley hosted a Christmas Fair on Friday 10 December.

“The proceeds from a gold coin entry fee were donated to Pete’s Place to support the good works of helping the needy in time for Christmas,” Elizabeth Willoughby told News Of The Area.

Elizabeth, a resident at ‘Lakes’ decided to run the Christmas Fair “after talking about it but never carrying through”.

“The fair was well attended by the residents q Homemade quilts and handicrafts.

with about sixty people passing through.

“Together with a donation from the Residents Committee a total of $300 was raised and was given to Anna Scott, Pete’s Place’s Manager.

"There was a myriad of handmade arts and crafts on sale, all made by the residents who manned their own stalls.

“We had hand sewn quilts, hand-painted glassware making pretty candle holders, wine glasses and water glasses, some beautiful and eyecatching paintings in both oils and watercolours.

"There were handcrafted gift cards and earrings, all sizes of knitted teddies, necklaces and decorated potted plants... to name just a few of the offerings.

“There was a cake stall too which was very popular.

“Donating to Pete’s Place was a suggestion from me as my husband and I learnt about them from an advertising feature we read locally; when we lived in Hobart we both did volunteer work.”

Nana Glen’s ‘ambo’ arrives

By Andrea FERRARI

IT’S here.

Nana Glen First Responders have officially received the keys to the first ever purposebuilt dedicated Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) vehicle.

Community members, officials from NSW Ambulance, SES volunteers, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh and various news outlets attended the handover celebration at Nana Glen Hall on Wednesday 15 December.

Noel Furness, President of The First Responders community at Nana Glen told News Of The Area, “This has been something we’ve been working on for three years.

“Initially I was told ‘it’ll never happen’ and when someone says that to me, I say ‘we just have to make it possible’.

“We pushed the Committee and got sponsors on board and then the local and Federal Government got on board.

“When we got $25,000 through the Premier’s Grant it was the nudge to get us all the way there, then the Ambulance Service heard what we were up to and said they could do something for us…and now here we are.

“Communication will be so much better.

“Previously we had the address on a piece of paper, that’s all we had, and off we’d go.

Desiree O’Brien ASM, Manager, Clinical Volunteers, NSW Ambulance Volunteers, was in Nana Glen for the formalities.

Picking up Noel’s point about communication, Desiree told News Of The Area, “It has a mobile data terminal link which means that our control centre back at Newcastle can see where they are any time – that’s a huge safety feature.

“It means that they get all their enhanced mapping system through that data terminal and get all of the incident details.

“It comes with a vehicle radio which has a greater transmission range, whereas before they were on handheld portable radios.

“It has a mobile phone amplifier to help cater for the mobile phone reception issues around here.

“And with the latest clinical equipment it means the CERT team can deliver a level of clinical care that complements what our paramedics do when they arrive on the scene.

“It’s about the patients’ journey, which starts with the 000 call, then skilled handson care by clinical volunteers, transferring to

the paramedics and then hospital through to discharge.

Always keen to hear from prospective volunteers, Desiree said, “The highly visible vehicle will drive conversation in the community.

“People will say ‘hey, how can I be a part of this’, which will sustain the service’s future in Nana Glen.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “This is another amazing initiative provided by the NSW Government supporting the Nana Glen team and the local community.

“The vehicle will help save lives in the region and will provide enhanced safety and security for the clinical volunteers to respond to incidents in Nana Glen and surrounding regions.”

Previously first responders used their own private vehicles which they drove to a “boxy little shed” adjacent to the village’s cafe, Idle In Café, to pick up their clinical equipment before proceeding to the incident.

volunteer said, “Ours is an elderly population so we’re responding to their age-related emergencies, cardiac issues, falls, asthma and performing CPR, and being rural we have people falling off horses and farm accidents.”

Peter Dawson, a paramedic from Coffs Harbour, is a long-time trainer for the Nana Glen and Glenreagh volunteers.

“It’s pretty amazing what the First Responder volunteers give to the community,” said Peter.

“They respond to anything you can think of plus 100 more.

“Once a month throughout the year, they work through training modules, online and face-to-face, to a level of our skills.

“These guys are on the scene first and can communicate back to us what resources are needed, as we’re coming up from Coffs,” he said.

Look what’s coming to Sawtell’s Super Fun Day 2022

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Sawtell Super Fun Day on New Year’s Day promises something for everyone and 2022 is no exception.

The annual Fun Day kicks off with the Fun Run in Sawtell Main Street with registrations from 7am followed by the return of the traditional Street Parade.

The 5km run to the Sawtell Beach Holiday Park Village Green sets off at 9am and the runners’ arrival at the Village Green heralds the start of the Super Fun Day with a full day of fun, entertainment and sprint races.

For some real action, Sawtell Firies will be showing what happens if you set your kitchen alight and how they can put it out, provided you call them before your home burns down.

Entertainment on Centre Stage sponsored by the Sawtell and Toormina Hotels is presented by Amber and Zoe, hosts of The A to Z of Everything on 104.1 CHY-FM. Headlining the entertainment is JulieAnn Glur, a regular around the Coffs Coast, delivering her uniquely branded ‘Meadow

Students, parents and teachers wave goodbye to 2021 school year

MORE than 800,000 students, and hundreds of thousands of parents, teachers and school staff across the state are ready for the summer break after showing incredible resilience, commitment and agility as the 2021 school year ended on Friday.

Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell said the lessons, inspiration and incredible stories of 2021 would help shape the new school year, which begins on Friday, 28 January 2022.

“I want to thank our staff – the principals, teachers, our senior leaders and school administrative and support teams – who have given their all to ensure learning continued throughout a difficult year,” Ms Mitchell said.

“When school resumed after the Term 3 lockdown, the incredible response

www.newsofthearea.com.au

from school staff to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate enabled us to transition smoothly back to in-school learning.”

Ms Mitchell said a strict cohorting approach combined with rapid antigen testing of close contacts of positive COVID-19 cases had enabled more schools to remain operational.

“We’ve calculated that the use of rapid antigen home testing has reduced the need for close contacts to self-isolate at home and led to an extra 130,000 hours of face to face learning,” Ms Mitchell said.

“We are currently procuring additional testing kits for schools to ensure we can continue COVID-safe learning in 2022.

“As we work to finalise school settings for 2022, I’m pleased to note that many school activities

20 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

such as music and school transitions are going ahead next Term.”

Ms Mitchell said the 2021 NAPLAN results released this week revealed that NSW students had performed above the national average despite the COVID disruption.

“This proves what a fabulous job our teachers and schools have done to overcome the tremendous challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Ms Mitchell said.

The pandemic has also not impeded the NSW Government’s reform agenda to improve learning outcomes, attract talented teachers to NSW public schools, and reduce unnecessary administration for existing staff.

“The Curriculum Reform is on schedule with the K to 2 syllabuses released for familiarisation and early

adoption, and consultation on Years 3 to 10 English and Maths beginning next year,” Ms Mitchell said.

“Through the $125 million Teacher Supply Strategy, we are committed to growing the teaching profession, attracting highquality candidates to this great career and supporting existing teachers and support staff to up-skill and take on new challenges.

“More than 4000 public school staff and employees provided feedback on the draft Quality Time Action Plan which outlined a range of current and prospective time-saving initiatives, designed to give teachers at least 20 percent of their time back to focus on the classroom.

“I wish all our students, teachers, staff and parents a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays and look forward to welcoming them back refreshed for a brand new year.”

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Keith Bensley, Chairperson of the Sawtell Super Fun Day told News Of The Area, “The traditional announcement of Sawtellian of the Year and Young Sawtellian of the Year will be at midday with awards being presented by Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour.

“For the kids we have train rides, the jumping castle, Pets & Critters Petting Zoo, the ever-popular Smiley Squad with entertainment and face painting and for the first time the Sawtell Fairy Room.

“For the older kids is the Classic Car display by the Vintage and Veteran and C.ex Car Clubs.

“Of course, no one will go hungry with ten gourmet food stalls including traditional carnival food, pancakes, subs and plenty of ice cream and coffee.

“Be sure to grab next week’s Coffs Coast News Of The Area for more on the great lineup of local entertainers we have on Centre Stage,” said Keith.

Parking is available behind the Bowling Club and across Lyons Road behind the tennis courts – just follow the signs.

A MEETING of four local blueberry growers 20 years ago led to a decision to pack and market their product together from a small shed in Woolgoolga.

Within three years there were 18 growers on board, which quickly led to the group purchasing and building their first purpose built packing facility and employing over 100 staff during peak season.

By 2009 the cooperative was producing over 600 tonnes of blueberries a year and began hiring more permanent local staff.

In 2013 the group formed a cooperative which allowed growers to focus on farming and led in 2015 to a partnership with Driscoll’s and opening a new modern packhouse in Isles Drive Coffs Harbour.

OzGroup remains 100% farmer owned and has grown now into being collectively one of the largest blueberry producers in Australia and represents a commitment of over 140 individual growers on the Coffs Coast to work together.

Packaging over 65 million punnets of berries each year and having farm gate sales closing in on a quarter of a billion dollars was truly unimaginable for those four growers but is testament to the commitment of growers to continue to build the cooperative together.

The Chairman of Oz Group Board of Directors, Satpal Singh Gill said, “To dream that we would employ over 150 full time equivalent staff and have over 2000 pickers on farm was unimaginable.

“Over the last 20 years we have proven that the impossible is possible with hard work, dedication and collaboration.

I saw Susie Suing Santa Clause

IT was Christmas Eve and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Nothing would stir for the rest of Christmas Eve, nor Christmas Day. A fact that little Susie could scarcely believe, she didn’t know what to say.

Had she been bad enough that year to end up on Santa’s naughty list?

The thought was so terrible, yet it did so persist.

Although they did not confirm Susie’s fear, the Boxing Day news headlines made everything clear.

“After one too many servings of warm milk and biscuits, Santa had fallen into a deep sleep in which he stayed. “Although he has just awoken, his usual deliveries of presents will be severely delayed.”

Susie was outraged and said aloud, “Santa can’t be late, how could this be!

“If I don’t get my presents, where does this leave me?”

Susie gathered her little friends, all as outraged as her.

They found a lawyer who would do in a pinch, it’s no surprise that he was a grinch.

Susie summonsed Santa who filed an appearance and a date was set.

There was no time for error and no room for regret.

Susie’s lawyer argued, “Santa had a contract to deliver these boys’ and girls’ presents in a timely manner.

“This undue delay has caused a contractual breach.

“It is for severe emotional trauma, that damages we seek.”

The Court found that Santa had not intended to create a legal relationship.

No contract existed.

The urge to have the lawyer struck off, was only just resisted.

It’s no surprise that Susie suing Santa landed her in strife.

It got her put on the naughty list, where she stayed for life.

DEAR Jasminda,

MY husband recently bought me a new pair of jeggings, as a birthday gift.

They were rather expensive, and I appreciate the thought, but I'm afraid that they hug my thighs and stomach a bit too closely.

I don't want to add them to my wardrobe, but I can't bear to hurt his feelings.

Fanny J. Dear Fanny J,

Magic pudding and honouring memories

By Alice HENNEN

LOVE it or hate it, the classic Christmas pudding is an iconic part of the festive season.

Fruit, nuts, brandy, flour, butter, spices and sugar come together to make a hulking monolith which dominates the Christmas dessert table.

My Nan would make a Christmas pudding every year and it was served on Christmas Eve after our customary walk to look at the local Christmas lights.

The process would start a good month or so ahead, with the fruit being soaked in a liberal helping of brandy.

When mixing the ingredients together, Nan would invite us to make a wish.

As we got older, we would give the pudding a stir and think of every person who was no longer with us.

Once the ingredients were mixed together, the mixture would be poured into a square of calico cloth and boiled in an old aluminium pot for six hours.

The cooked pudding was then hung from a cupboard door knob in the corner of the kitchen for several weeks before Christmas.

Come Christmas Eve, the pudding was boiled again for an hour, then Nan would perform the impressive feat of pouring burning brandy over the pudding.

The flames would burn blue due to the ethanol in the brandy, and Mum always worried that the house would catch fire.

Us kids were always mesmerised by the blue flames, which flared up over

22 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

the pudding and only lasted for a few seconds.

Unfortunately, my Nan died in October 2020 and Christmas has not been quite the same without her.

I wanted to try to recapture some of the magic we experienced as kids when we spent Christmas with her and my Grandad at their home in Wollongong.

So, I set about making Nan’s famous pudding.

I ended up making two smaller puddings so that I only had to boil them for three hours.

My sister, who doesn’t drink alcohol, gave me a spare bottle of Black Bottle brandy that belonged to my Grandad.

He would drink anything, but particularly loved brandy and dry ginger ale.

As I put the puddings into the boiler, I realised I’d forgotten to add the almonds!

Oh well, they can go into the brandy butter.

Nan’s Christmas recipe comes from the Commonsense Cookery Book.

She would add 10-12 eggs, but I found this can make the pudding quite stodgy, which is not ideal after a big heavy meal in an Australian summer, so I stuck to eight.

For those who don’t like brandy, rum or fruit juice can be used instead.

Other dried fruits can be added to the mix, such as chopped dates or glace ginger.

Christmas Pudding Ingredients 1kg mixed fruit 125g blanched almonds

500g butter 500g brown sugar 8 eggs ⅔ cup brandy 250g soft fresh breadcrumbs (you can grate a few slices of bread) 250g plain flour Pinch of salt 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda ½ tsp nutmeg 2 tsp mixed spice

THE first problem we have here, apart from the multiple word plays I could riff off using your name and your conundrum, is that your husband bought you jeggings as a birthday gift.

The number of things that could go wrong with this ill-conceived purchase are as immeasurable as the ways jeggings are appropriated for real pieces of clothing.

Do you ever sit at home, or on the bus, and wonder about how something was invented?

I mean, imagine the day someone glanced down from the fetlock of his horse, to its hoof and thought, 'I don't know what I can use to stick these two sheets of paper together, but I reckon the answer will be found by grinding down bits of this fine animal.'

Jeggings, for those who don't know, are basically tights printed to look like jeans, but don't be fooled.

They are not jeans.

They don't have zips.

They don't have any support.

You can't tuck a shirt into them.

Jeggings are an optical illusion that leave about as much to the imagination as body paint.

And, as you've found, Fanny J, they don't hold in your stomach and thighs, they accentuate them.

They are about as adorable as the idea of grown-ups wandering around in Wondersuits (an outfit that looks appropriate on babies, but positively creepy on anyone who has gone beyond their first birthday).

I wouldn't be too worried about hurting your husband's feelings.

He doesn't seem to have much regard for yours if he's going to allow you to saunter around town leaving nothing to the imagination, and, after a few washes when the elastic gives way, trotting along like a denim-sprayed Shar Pei. Many hybrids don't work for good reason.

Keep your jeans as jeans, your leggings for exercise, and shun the cruel and twisted fashionista who thought mixing the two was a good idea.

Method Fill up a large pot with water and put it on the stove to boil.

Cream the butter and sugar together, then add well beaten eggs and brandy.

Stir in all the fruit.

Add the breadcrumbs, sifted flour, salt, bicarb, nutmeg and mixed spice, and mix it thoroughly.

Tie up in a square of unbleached calico cloth, placing the tie about 10cm or so away from the pudding so that it can swell up.

The mixture can also be placed into a two litre pudding basin, allowing space for the pudding to swell.

Boil for six hours.

On the day of eating, boil for 3 hours (you can do this first thing in the morning Christmas day or after lunch Christmas Eve) Two smaller puddings can be boiled for three hours on the first cook, then 90 minutes on the day of eating.

The secret to a successful pudding flame is to warm the Carpe diem, Jasminda. brandy gently on the stove before using a kitchen lighter or long matches to light the vapour.

Hopefully I made Nan proud, and Have your phone by sharing this recipe with you all, it has ready for a video, as this spectacular effect only lasts evoked my own memories of the fun family Christmases I had with my grandparents. a couple of seconds!

Mincemeat, Emphasis on the Meat

By Kimberley G CONNOR, Food Historian and Historical Archaeologist.

THIS year as you sit down to a well-deserved cup of tea and a mince pie, or leave a plate out for Santa, take a moment to think about the centuries of history behind this Christmas staple.

During the medieval period it was common to mix meat or even fish with expensive imported ingredients like sugar, dried fruit and spices.

Recipes of this type, sometimes called ‘shrid’ pies, are included in some of the earliest English recipe collections.

By the end of the 16th century the pies had acquired both their modern name

(‘minst pyes’ in The Good Haus-wives Treasurie, 1588) and the strong connection with Christmas which meant they were sometimes also called Christmas pies.

Early modern recipes continued to have a good proportion of meat - veal or beef, mutton or even tongue but they called for more and more fruit, spices and sugar.

Shipped from the Middle East, the East Indies and the Americas, these ingredients were a way to show off wealth and good taste.

For families that could only afford them once or twice a year then Christmas was the time.

Since then, as those ingredients became cheaper and as the combination of meat and sweet fruit became

less fashionable the meat has all but disappeared from mince pies.

The only reminders of mince pies' meaty history are the name, and the suet (kidney fat) which is still found in many recipes but can be replaced with butter for vegetarians.

If you’re not avoiding meat this season, however, why not add some meat to your mince pies with this seventeenth century recipe?

Not only does it cut down on the sickly sweetness of modern mince pies, but it’ll be a great conversation starter over a glass of eggnog.

The following is a mincemeat recipe based on My Lady of Portland’s Mince Pyes from ‘The Closet of Sir Kenelm Digby, Knight

When he was ten, John’s father, a subsistence farmer, sadly passed away, leaving John and his two younger brothers to be raised by their mother.

“Being the first born, I tried harder to be a man and a good example for my younger brothers.”

In 2003 John left everything behind and fled to neighbouring Kenya, where he settled as a refugee.

In that process, John was separated from his mother and brothers for

It was in the Kenyan refugee camps that John began to put his thoughts to paper.

“I finished both primary and secondary school in the Dadaab refugee camp, one of the world’s largest,” John said.

“It was in secondary school that I developed a passion and dreams towards writing.”

In 2016, John was given the opportunity to study an online Diploma in Public Administration from Cambridge International College, supported by the

Help Dadaab Organisation, based in the UK. In 2017, the Danish Refugee Council supported him to study a Diploma in Community Development and Social Work, both completed in Kenya.

This week John provides his first News Of The Area submission, with a story about the experience of Christmas in Australia and in refugee camps.

Christmas in Australia Do you want to

By John CHAM

I DON’T have a clear memory of how we used to celebrate Christmas when I was a little boy in Gambella, Ethiopia.

All I could remember are those days when we woke up to see the masses going through the town, singing and praising the birth of Christ.

Later, in the afternoon, a huge gathering would watch a drama about the nativity of Jesus Christ.

A few years after I fled to seek refuge in Kenya, it was only then that I fully came to understand how significant the day was to many people - not only to the Christians but even to non-believers.

At the refugee camp, Christmas day would approach with a lot of pressure and frustration, as everyone tried hard to celebrate the day in a special way, despite their difficult lives.

Christmas was the day you needed to smile, a day to put aside depression and all kinds of problems to refresh and renew.

Those parents with little

capacity could impress their children with some Christmas clothes and those who could not, would let it go with a feeling of failure.

Those who did not have parents would spend the day like any other day.

The celebration would involve prayer and worship - later feasting, as the non-believers joined the celebration by eating and drinking together.

In August 2019 I first landed on Australian soil with a humanitarian visa.

It was very difficult starting a vastly different new life without friends and only a few relatives.

Soon it was the festive season and the preparation for Christmas had begun, as you could tell by Christmas tree decorations and the installation of Christmas lights seemingly everywhere in Coffs Harbour.

I wanted to be involved but I had no idea where to start.

Buy a Christmas tree for my house?

Install Christmas lights?

Then what?

Obviously, it would

have only been for me.

I still hadn’t made friends to celebrate with.

I woke up late on Christmas day, just like I used to do on other holidays – no reason to ruin the sweet morning sleep.

That afternoon, I received a call from my aunty, who also lives in Coffs Harbour.

It was the call I excitedly expected from her.

“Come home, I have prepared some food for the whole family,” she said.

I heard about the fireworks but had no idea where it was.

Christmas in 2020 was supposed to be the year to celebrate with a few friends, but Covid-19 was lingering on the streets and touched us all in 2021.

Christmas this year remains clouded by the uncertainty of the pandemic.

This Christmas, I will think of those less fortunate, whether they be in my old refugee camp or struggling with Covid or other problems here in Coffs Harbour.

May peace be with you all.

WOOLGOOLGA’S hugely popular summer six a side soccer competition had its long-awaited kickoff on Thursday 16 December, after a Covid-induced year off.

The Woopi Six-a-side committee announced the postponement of the 2020/21 competition in September last year due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The first game of the 2021/22 season drew large crowds last week with participants from the 96 teams and spectators eager to celebrate the competition’s commencement this year.

comprising mens and womens teams and mixed teams.

A total of twelve games

By Emma DARBIN

Woopi Six-a-side committee secretary Cheryl Midavaine said it was very exciting to have the competition up and running again.

“Last Thursday there were alot of very happy people up there finally getting a run and enjoying community sport,” Cheryl said.

“There was a really great buzz happening up at the fields, especially not having it last year.

“It’s a great family friendly atmosphere.”

The competition is at full capacity again this year, as it was in the 2019/20 six-a-

side soccer season.

This year the competition, which usually commences in October, was delayed until 2 December then delayed a further fortnight until Covid-19 health restrictions were eased for all in the community to maximise local participation in the competition.

The competition is being extended later than normal into 2022 to maximise the number of games that can be played by competitors.

There are three main divisions in the competition including the Mini World Cup division which comprises primary school

students from years 1-6, the Grommets division for high school students in years 7-10, and the Senior division

will be played during the competition at Woolgoolga’s High Street soccer fields every Thursday evening.

By Aiden BURGESS

q Sprintcars in action at Grafton Speedway. Photo: Lone Wolf Photography.

SPRINTCARS have made a long-awaited return to Grafton Speedway for the first time in over a decade during the latest race meeting.

Central Coast driver Mick Turner took the chequered flag in the Sprintcars feature race, converting his pole position into a dominant race win after leading from start to finish over the 20- lap final.

It was the 53-year old’s maiden Sprintcar feature race win since debuting in the class in 1996.

Turner expressed his

sheer delight in finally breaking through for his first Sprintcar feature race win.

“I really enjoyed my night at Grafton Speedway as it is a real driver’s track, and to win my first Sprintcar feature race topped off my night,” he said.

“To win my first Sprintcar feature race has done a lot of good for my confidence, especially after being out of the driver’s seat for the past six seasons, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season with the Dick Thompson-owned team.”

Sydney’s Mark Attard

followed Turner over the line in second after briefly challenging the race winner in the middle stages, while one of the pre-race favourites Mick Sauer finished third.

The next two race meetings at Grafton Speedway are scheduled to be held over the ChristmasNew Year period, with the V8 Dirt Modifieds headlining the action on Tuesday, 28 December, and Monday, 3 January.

The support classes on both nights are going to consist of AMCA Nationals, RSA Street Stockers, RSA Four Cylinder Sedans and RSA Junior Sedans.

Rebels captain Taj Dosanjh shared with News Of The Area the importance of the early season win heading into the Christmas/New Year’s break.

“It was really advantageous, and it was a good performance by the lads, our juniors had a chance to step up and they delivered,” he said.

“It was very pleasing to

Sawtell Golf Club’s Joy Lawrence wins her 13th Women’s Club Championship

By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL Golf Club’s Joy Lawrence has once again shown her tremendous ability on the greens in 2021.

Lawrence won the Sawtell Golf Club’s Women's Club Championship for the 13th time in her 30-year playing career.

She also won the club’s Women's Foursomes Championship for the 12th time as she played with Julie Jones this year, and won the Mixed Foursomes Championship for the first time while playing with Alan

Wallis.

After all her individual success it was the Mixed Foursomes trophy which would prove to be elusive throughout her 30 years on the greens, making it a special moment after finally winning it this year.

“Alan and I had been playing together for years and trying to win it,” she said.

“Ever since I first won the Ladies Championship, I could never clinch the mixed as I had been runners-up and so close to winning it before, “It was strange because we had finished our round

and we were having a drink, and one of the ladies said we were in a playoff, and I didn’t know whether to have another drink before it.

“Alan played really well in the playoff holes, and the two pairs we were playing the men were the best in the club, “We were a bit shell shocked to win it, and so they say that all good things come to those who wait.”

The multiple club champion explained to News Of The Area how she first took up the sport.

“I used to play tennis and squash before I played golf,”

COFFS COASTNews COASTNews Of The Area q Sawtell Golf Club’s Joy Lawrence with the Women's Club Championship trophy.

she said.

“I did my Achilles tendon in 1992 and I couldn’t play tennis for a year, so I took up golf and I’m still playing 30 years later.”

Having won 13 Women’s Club Championships, the first one held a special place in her heart.

“The first one was the best, as I had an 18-inch putt to win it and I was so nervous but I don't get nervous anymore,” she said.

After achieving so much on the greens, the champion golfer still had one thing to shoot for.

“My goal is to shoot my age, and I’m 74 in February so everything would have to fall into place,” she said.

Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club host end of year presentation

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour Boardriders Club have celebrated another successful year in the surf by hosting their end of year presentation at the Hoey Moey.

The club’s best surfers of 2021 were recognised with awards in a number of different age divisions.

In addition to

celebrating their end of year presentation, the Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club also qualified for the Australian Boardriders Battle Grand Final last weekend.

The Coffs club clinched their ticket to the national final in Newcastle after winning on their home break in the Australian Boardriders Battle Series event in Coffs

Harbour.

The Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club will now take their place amongst the final 24 clubs in Australia who will contest the Australian Boardriders Battle (ABB) Grand Final at Newcastle in February.

Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club events coordinator Sharni Winkler said it was a proud moment

for the club to once again qualify for the national final.

“We just love going to Newcastle as our annual trip, we have so many supporters and family that just come to watch, we go out for dinners as a big family,” she said.

“It was extra special qualifying this year, as our team coaches decided to have more juniors represent our club this year in the team, and wow did they do us proud.

“For many of them it was their first time competing in the ABB and the pressure when you surf for your club is so different to surfing your own individual heat.

“None of our juniors buckled under the pressure and qualified our club for Newcastle under the guidance of some of the senior surfers, a massively proud moment for us all.”

Winkler described to News Of The Area the fun nature of the recent presentation night.

“It was hilarious, we try to come up with different themed events for our end of year preso and I have to say this year’s ‘Bogans and Beauty’ theme I think was the best yet,” she said.

“Everyone got involved in the theme, and every single division winner won a brand new surfboard and a stack of other prizes (over $25k worth), plus we had a heap of lucky door prizes.”

Winkler looked back on another successful surfing year for the club.

“Considering navigating through all the COVID restrictions I think we had a great year,” she said.

“We managed to only drop two comps and run all others throughout the year, we have a great committee so we can make quick decisions and are able to be flexible when we need to.

“There weren't anywhere near as many national comps the kids could compete in so it was very important to us to continue our season till the end of the year so all members still had an event to compete in and keep connected through social events for the year.”

American police procedurals are reliably slick affairs, and there’s arguably no one better to create one than Dick Wolf, the veteran producer of the Law & Order franchise, as well as this engaging series. While viewers can expect a crime to be committed and then enthrallingly solved by a bunch of worldweary police investigators, this series stands out from the pack in Australia because of its stars. Boasting American heartthrob Kellan Lutz (Twilight), it also features Aussie Julian McMahon (Nip/ Tuck), right) and Kiwi-Aussie Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider). In “Unhinged”, Hana (Castle-Hughes) rejoins the team.

As this smart Michigan-set mystery unfurls, you could be reconsidering ever setting foot on a train again. Either that or you are now hellbent on a career change to become a investigator who is capable of decoding even the greatest mystery. At least, that is where viewers are hoping the story arc of FBIassisting investigator Kendra Malley (The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi, above) is headed. Tonight, Kendra grows to trust her FBI counterpart, Ellen Hunter (Karen LeBlanc), and they share inside information with each other. She also gets a big break in the case thanks to Theo (Mark Rendall) and Charlotte’s (Kelly McCormack) savvy.

Daley bounced back with two high scoring ends to put himself in the better position going into the final end, and looked to have the match sewn up, holding the shot.

Condon had no option but to play a “Hail Mary” with the last bowl of the match, and almost pulled it off, scoring almost enough points to steal the win.

Both bowlers finished on the required 150 together however Daley was declared the winner by virtue of technically getting to 150 first as the last ends shots were tallied to take the title.

An absolute fantastic final,

Attitude Dance Coffs Harbour

By Leanne MAGUIRE LOCAL Dance school Attitude dance Coffs Harbour recently competed at the regional championships at Tamworth and blew away the competition.

30 Juniors, teens and Ladies who dance with Australian Physie and Dance Association were excited to travel and get on the stage after having two years off competition due to COVID, classes over zoom, outdoor classes and moving venues multiple times.

But all that hard work and persistence paid off when 4 teams placed 1st and got the cup.

They were also extremely successful in the individual competition with 15 awarded places.

Attitude Dance Coffs Harbour family are now extremely excited to see what next year brings with hopefully a more normal year and new songs and dances to learn.

Dance classes from ages 3- Ladies (beginners to advanced) are held at Narranga School Hall and they are now taking enrolments for 2022.

Junior swimmers win a swag of medals at North Coast Area Championships

q Coffs Harbour junior swimmers at the North Coast Area Championships in Coffs Harbour. Back Row (L to R): Mitchell Hickey, Piper Phillips, Sylas Phillips, Finn Pengelly and Bella Teale. Front Row (L to R): Andrea Thomson, Lilly Geddes, Remi Ogilvy, Layci Teale, Cale Ogilvy and Harley Teale.

By Aiden BURGESS

SOME of Coffs Harbour’s best junior swimmers have once again produced medal-winning performances, during the North Coast Area Championships in Coffs Harbour.

The small team of 11 swimmers had a massive two days of competition taking home 33 gold medals, 25 silver medals, and 17 bronze medals between them.

Layci Teale took out the 12 years Girls Age Champion, Andrea Thompson took out the Under 13 Girls Distance Champion, and Mitchell Hickey and Lilly Geddes took out the Male and Female O/13 Distance Champions respectively.

The small team broke three championship records over the weekend, Sylas Phillips breaking both the 15 Years Boys 100m and 200m backstroke records, and Mitchell Hickey broke the 17 Years Boys 1500m freestyle.

The awards and medals for the team didn’t stop there, as Finn Pengelly took out the Tim Mullens 13 Years Boys Memorial Trophy, winning the 13 Years Boys 100m freestyle doing close to a 2 second personal best to take out the trophy.

The weekend saw personal

bests tumble, too many to count, with the young swimmers walking away with new Country and State Championship qualifying times to add to the many events already qualified for.

The youngest team member Harley Teale (10 years) competed at his first ever Area Championships over the weekend, taking home 5

www.newsofthearea.com.au

individual medals, 3 of them gold winning the 10 Years Boys 50m and 100m freestyle, as well as the 10 Years Boys 100m backstroke.

The young squads coach SarahJane Weir said the Coffs Harbour event was a wonderful weekend for her talented swimmers as they prepare for upcoming major events.

“The weekend saw us blessed

with weather, the sun shining bright for both days.

“There were so many smiles and a whole lot of cheering, it was a wonderful weekend for our team,” she said.

“We now continue preparation into State Open Water, and the Senior State Age scheduled for the middle of January.”

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.

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

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

Sixers Ready Friday, 24 December 2021

By David WIGLEY

SYDNEY Sixers captain James Vince spoke to News Of The Area ahead of their upcoming fixtures at C.ex Coffs International Stadium on 1 and 9 January.

Reigning Big Bash League champions the Sydney Sixers are currently in second place on the ladder behind leaders the Perth Scorchers who are undefeated after four matches.

The Sixers play the Melbourne Renegades on New Year’s Day and return to Coffs Harbour nine days later to face the Perth Scorchers where captain James Vince anticipates plenty of runs on the Coffs wicket.

“The Melbourne Renegades on New Year’s Day will be a great match for spectators, there are no easy games in the Big Bash League and I expect it will be a good match with plenty of runs.

“The wicket at Coffs makes for an entertaining match with big scores, the Renegades are a dangerous team and have individuals who can single handedly win matches.

“But we also have a number of individuals who can win matches, Josh

Phillippe put on a match winning performance last time we played in Coffs Harbour and he is in good form again this season,” said Vince.

Vince and Phillippe hold the record for the largest second wicket partnership of 167 in the Big Bash League and they will be seeking to repeat that form to set up another BBL title.

“We are currently leading the competition but anything can happen, the Perth Scorchers are undefeated so we know that will be a tough test when we return to Coffs on 9 January to play them.

With two games on the Coffs Coast in nine days the England international who was part of their 2019 World Cup winning squad is hoping to see more of the coast.

“Playing two matches in Coffs Harbour hopefully means we will get more time to explore the area.

“I would like to check out the golf courses and visit the beaches, but I won’t be surfing, remember, I’m from England,” laughed Vince.

Tickets for both matches are available from Ticketek.
