Storyland Receives Grants FROM Page 1 Government’s Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) grant provided initial funding of $379,500, which was supported by $211,200 from the NSW State Government’s Regional Event Acceleration Fund, $77,000 from the Create NSW’s Arts and Culture Projects Fund, and $33,000 from the Regional Arts NSW’s Regional Arts Fund.

To the best of Mr Horsley’s knowledge, the grant is the largest overall given to an event in the area.

“Coffs Harbour needs a home-grown music festival, with something more.

“Almost all of the artists and crew behind Storyland are locals,” Mr Horsley said.

q David Horsley (centre) explains the proposed layout of Storyland to Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan (left) and Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh (right).

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said, “We’re really pleased to be here and able to help SWIFF”, estimating that Storyland could result in the creation of up to 500 jobs over three years.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, said, “We nurture the creative talent on the Coffs Coast with events like this” Mr Horsley described his vision of the layout of STORYLAND at the Park Beach Reserve to Mr Conaghan and Mr Singh.

STORYLAND will be an eclectic mix of fourteen live music artists over two stages, an immersive outdoor installation arts program, and a unique storytelling narrative, newmedia and performance experience.

Correction

NEWS Of The Area would like to offer a correction to information included in our story ‘Older mentoring younger’, p18, 18 March Edition.

The story referred to Coffs Harbour Older Women’s Network (CH OWN) using its NSW Government funded 2022 Women’s Week Grant to hold ‘Focus on the Future Through Mentoring Forum’ at Sawtell Surf Club.

Instead, the venue should have been named as Coffs Harbour Surf Club at Park Beach.

The forum was held during International Women’s Week on Monday 7 March and was a huge success.

Friday, 25 March 2022

Mr Conaghan said, “Bringing cultural events back to the calendar is fundamental to making regional communities thrive.

“I’m looking forward

to seeing tourists and locals alike enjoying this wonderful event.”

Mr Horsley said, “It’s been our vision for SWIFF to evolve into a broader creative arts festival, in

www.newsofthearea.com.au

addition to our full film festival program.

“This is a once-in-adecade boost that will change the face of SWIFF, hopefully forever into the future, creating incredible

cultural and economic benefits well beyond the life of the grants.”

Greens Announce Candidate For Cowper

By Andrew VIVIAN

CLASSIFIEDS

THE Greens have announced environmental scientist and planning specialist Tim Nott as their candidate for the Federal seat of Cowper.

Mr Nott launched his campaign at the site of a proposed Argyll St rezoning which regularly floods.

“It’s time to take a national approach to ban residential development in areas likely to flood,” Mr Nott said.

“Just weeks ago, Colin and Jan of Argyll St were cut off by floodwaters, trapped in their house without power and unable to leave for food or medical supplies.

“In 2009 it flooded so badly that residents were evacuated.

“This is a clear example of reckless development, and we must stop putting Australian families in harm’s way,” he continued.

Mr Nott said the region must heed predictions by experts and accept that flooding in Cowper will increase in both frequency and severity, inundating areas not previously impacted.

“Poor planning has not only put lives at risk, it affects work, family, childcare, education, mental health and increases the cost of living,” he said.

Mr Nott said the Greens have a plan to increase the clean power created in Australia to be seven times larger than currently, which will keep people safe, encourage jobs growth and lower the cost of living.

Yarrawarra set to upgrade The Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre (YACC) at Corindi Beach has won funding to upgrade the 25-yearold amenities building to become more accessible for visitors of all abilities.

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre (YACC) at Corindi Beach has won funding to upgrade the 25-year-old amenities building to become more accessible for visitors of all abilities.

The NSW Government Regional Tourism Grant has approved the full $261,188 applied for through the Activation Fund, Visitor Accessibility and Inclusion Enhancements category.

Yarrawarra is one of the few renowned Aboriginal owned and operated cultural centres that exist today in regional NSW. The centre provides a range of eco-tourism and cultural experiences as well as educational resources to many regional government and non-government

Area.

“It is a critical step toward our next stage of growth as a tourism attraction, with a goal of catering to overnight visitors in glamping and other accommodation.

“As an art gallery, we will harmonise the structure with appropriate artwork, making for an added attraction to YACC. “In the interest of economy and leaving a lighter energy footprint, we will install a solar power system to provide power to the pumps and lighting.

“As a bonus, the area created by removing the existing facilities will provide much needed space for the continued preservation of our local Indigenous Heritage collection which is essential to community identity, community education and cultural tourism.

“We are over the moon,” said Julie, adding, “I remember the first dig being made on the original building – this funding is a milestone in our goal of reinvigorating Yarrawarra.

“Many thanks to Elder Tony Perkins, the late Will Skinner and their partners for their vision of Yarrawarra.

“Also acknowledging the community members who worked on site and actually built the Centre all those years ago.

“There is a real cultural revitalisation going on in Australia and we want YACC to be a part of it.

“Our gallery is first class with an extraordinary collection of Indigenous art; we’re on the outskirts of Coffs Harbour and it is a great little day out for locals, and a destination for tourists countrywide as well internationally.

“The new amenities block is just the beginning of our bigger plan,” said Julie.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh visited YACC on Thursday 17 March.

“Building a new amenities block will give people with disability the opportunity to visit the centre

comfortably while learning about the culture and practices of our Indigenous community,” said Mr Singh.

“The funding will also be used to build new covered, wheelchair friendly footpaths and add solar panels to the new amenities block, ensuring an economic and energy efficient approach is taken for the operation of the new facilities.”

The funding is going directly to building an amenities block on site at the YACC and will solve their shortage of basic facilities for visitors, which includes school groups of up to 100 people at a time.

Contributing to the success of the grant application was that the project has one easily defined outcome: a new all-access amenities block adjacent to the Yarrawarra Gallery to cater for visitors of all abilities.

Sawtell Beach hosts Clean Up Australia Day

By Andrea FERRARI

THE rained-off Clean Up Australia Day planned for earlier in March was reinstated on Sunday 20 March, with Prosper Coffs Harbour and Coffs City Rotary volunteers rallying together in support at Sawtell Beach.

The event was a huge success, with the main source of pollution being cigarette-butts, bottles, bottle caps and plastic

wrapping in the sand dunes.

Prosper Coffs Harbour Fundraising Manager Melissa Nunn says getting involved in Clean Up Australia Day and other plastic reducing initiatives is more important today than ever before.

“Our environment is currently experiencing the impact of the Covid pandemic,” Melissa told News Of The Area.

“We are seeing a huge surge in single-use

THE Friends Of South Solitary Island Lighthouse (FOSSIL) held their annual general meeting on Saturday 19 March, and were very happy to hear news from re-elected President Chris Bramley regarding the South Solitary Island lighthouse optic (light system).

The optic has been housed in what is now the Coffs Harbour Table Tennis Club facility in Harbour Drive for approximately 46 years.

Mr Bramley told the gathering, “The optic will be coming out of the closet and will be relocated to the Jetty

foreshore and will be integral to the redevelopment of the T.S Vendetta site.”

He also informed FOSSIL members that the Council has a current project to clean and prepare the optic for relocation, which is anticipated to begin in August and be finished in November this year.

The group intends to hold a series of public events to coincide with the relocation and are exploring the possibility of the public screening a movie from the Australian Archives titled ‘Forgive Us Our Trespass’ that was filmed on the island in 1960.

“We implore the wider community to join us next year in Clean Up Australia Day 2023 or register a site online to help tackle the country’s waste crisis.

“For every little bit we do we are showing that we care and that we are taking an active role in protecting our environment,” Melissa said.

Lighthouse optic to be relocated

By David TUNE

www.newsofthearea.com.au

The new placement of the optic will allow visitors to see how the complex system worked, and it is hoped that there will be historic information available to inform people of the history and significance of the lighthouse.

FOSSIL has been involved in assisting the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in maintaining and restoring the remaining lighthouse facilities on South Solitary Island, although pandemic restrictions ruled out visitors to the island for the past two years.

Access to the island is restricted and Coffs Harbour’s Precision Helicopters have run tours of the island in the past and are restarting these operations on the first

weekend of each month from May to August commencing on May 7.

Try-A-Trade Workshop at Woolgoolga High School FEMALE students in Year 9 at Woolgoolga High School interested in a career in a trade enjoyed participating in a free SALT (Supporting and Linking Tradeswomen) Try-ATrade Workshop at the school this month.

The students learnt how to use basic hand tools and small power tools and proudly created a timber caddy on the day to take home with them.

The workshop encouraged the female students to consider a career in a trade and provided them with skills to fix things in their

own homes.

SALT tradeswomen spoke to students on the day about their personal career pathway into a trade, the benefits of working in a trade, and their association with SALT. SALT is a support network for tradeswomen, apprentices and women/girls considering a career in a trade.

SALT program coordinator Fi Shewring said the workshops are aimed at encouraging girls and women to consider a trade career and also to get local employers thinking about taking on

more women as apprentices in industries that are traditionally male dominated.

“The workshops are run by experienced tradespeople and aim to give girls and women an idea of what it takes to be a tradeswoman and the myriad of job opportunities available,” Fi said.

“Students are given hands-on experience of tools used in most trades and gain great skills which will help them for their own lives.

“We hope that local employers take notice that there are women in their area who are seriously interested in a trade career.”

Supporting Aboriginal Community Services

By Andrea FERRARI

LAST week OneMob Radio and the newly announced OneMob Media Aboriginal Corporation hosted the Supporting Aboriginal Community Services Catch Up for organisations and services who support the local Indigenous community.

Held on Tuesday 15 March, the day started with local knowledge sharing, a Welcome to Country and a Smoking Ceremony by local Gumbaynggirr Elders Uncle Tony Perkins and Aunty Jenny Skinner, and staff from Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation.

“This event has been much needed after months of online interaction,” Founder of OneMob Radio, Lachlan

Skinner told News Of The Area.

“Sure, we see the benefits to virtual meetings but there is nothing like the opportunity to interact amongst each other face to face.”

This day was planned to allow community services to connect, build partnerships, learn, plan, and engage with some 50+ representatives working in the space of supporting Aboriginal people.

“Whilst I am fully aware of the strength in our community collaborations between services in Coffs Harbour, I still get goosebumps when I see/hear the partnership building and collaboration discussions.

“Makes me feel good that

we - OneMob Radio - were instrumental in providing a space where this can be done.

‘We need more like this,” urged Lachlan.

different ways, which has shaken all areas of work and support from these services.

“These days are important because it reminds us of the services available and linking up with the people in the roles within the services.”

“OneMob Radio/ OneMob Media Aboriginal Corporation would like to thank all the representatives that attended, whilst we had a great attendance, we know there are so many other people out there doing amazing work for First Nations people, (and we are) looking forward to seeing more of this in the future.

“The feedback was highly positive, and everyone got a lot out of this one-day event,” said Lachlan.

Coffs Coast Educator Wins National Award COFFS Harbour based family day care coordinator Lyndall Cotterill has been crowned the 2021 Coordinator of the Year in the Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.

The 2021 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards also celebrated its tenth anniversary of recognising the family day care sector on a national level, as the only event of its kind in the

country.

Lyndall was presented with her Award at the Gala Dinner hosted by Family Day Care Australia in Canberra, on Saturday 26 February 2022.

Lyndall spoke to the importance of the award for herself and her team on the night.

“I feel a little surprised and yet very humbled that

I am collecting a national award for doing a job that I see as a passion,” she said.

“We are all on a journey to a common path and a common goal which is inspiring our educators to create amazing children who are the next generation to look after the land we live on.”

Selecting the National

Winners is a rigorous process that reflects on the practices, professionalism and performance of the nominees, in addition to the impacts they have on others.

Having commenced in the sector in 2012 and currently working for Mid Coast Family Day Care, Lyndall has been chosen for her continued excellence in early childhood education and care.

Family Day Care Australia Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Paterson, applauded Lyndall as a leader in the sector.

“Lyndall has displayed excellence in all areas of practice and is committed to providing quality outcomes for her service and community.

“Her contributions, not just to family day care but

to the wider early childhood sector, are invaluable.”

The Awards are also an opportunity to highlight the unique benefits of family day care.

“As a coordinator, Lyndall is not only enjoying a richly rewarding career but is a leader and mentor among one of Australia’s largest networks of women in small business.”

Botanic Gardens Glasshouse almost ready to open

By Andrea FERRARI

WORK on the Botanic Gardens’ sparkling new Glasshouse is nearing completion, creating another must-see destination for visitors to the lush central Coffs Harbour gardens.

The dedication of both the volunteers and Coffs Harbour City Council staff ensured the project kept on track despite the rain and Covid restrictions.

“Bringing the concept together has required many hours across a range of skills from design, construction, soil management, plant selection, irrigation and drainage,” Nola Miles, President of the Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Gardens told News Of The Area.

“Onsite, there was an enormous amount of manual labour that went into removing and replacing soil to ensure the best conditions for the plants which would eventually be on display.

“This subsurface drainage involved the placement of 140 tonnes of 20mm blue metal aggregate.

“This was done by hand due to access restrictions,” she said.

Work has also been undertaken away from the site with the design of the display and preparation of a range of plants to be included.

Some plants from the old glasshouse were tended by volunteers to keep them in prime condition for inclusion in the new

New plants have also been sourced to complement the new building.

“The Tropical house will display plants such as the lipstick palm (Cyrtostachys renda) - a truly tropical palm from Malaysia and Borneo.

“This would not normally grow in the Coffs Harbour climate even though we have a wonderful climate, it would also be too cold for some of the other species that have been selected.

“The shade house will display our extensive bromeliad and orchid collections along with a wide range of ferns and shade loving species.

“The completion of this modern climatecontrolled structure will allow Coffs Harbour locals and visitors to view some extremely rare and unusual plant species.”

Nola said both the volunteers and Council workers were really looking forward to seeing the display when the Glasshouse opens and encouraged everyone to make sure they visit to enjoy the new display.

“Once again, the commitment and collaboration between volunteers and Council staff has achieved a great result.

“It really is a team effort,” she said.

A ‘craic’-ing St Patrick’s Day

By David WIGLEY

IT WAS a ‘craic’-ing St Patrick's Day for patrons at the Coffs Hotel last Thursday, who immersed themselves in everything green whilst downing pints of Guinness and Kilkenny, basking to Irish music.

Local band Unison smashed out Irish classics from U2, the Pogues and Van Morrison and then at dusk a jaw dropping 23-piece pipe and drum band paraded through the pub as punters clutched their phones to record the moment.

Celebrations went long into the evening as Rob Bradford opened up the karaoke with a rendition of

the iconic ‘Danny Boy’, as the green army sang into the night.

Unison guitarist Marty Bouma said it was all about enjoying good craic.

“We had a ‘craic’-ing night, we played some traditional and contemporary Irish songs like ‘Danny Boy’, ‘Whiskey in the Jar’ and ‘Dirty Old Town’ by The Pogues.

“We also played songs by famous Irish acts including U2 and Van Morrison, mixed in with some of our originals and other well known covers.

“We had a great time playing and when the pipers came through the pub at dusk, the atmosphere was electric, it was real hairs on the back of your neck standing up

kinda stuff, very moving.

“Of course there was a lot of green at the pubs, everyone wore green, whether it was green clothing, hats, ties and there were even some in costumes like green dragons.

“This and plenty of Guinness on tap made for a special evening and we would like to give a shout out to Marty at the Coffs Hotel for putting on such a ‘craic’-ing evening,” said Bouma.

Pub patron Marty Phillips was proud of the public support after a tumultuous two years.

“We had the luck of the Irish on our side where people from all walks turned up in their droves, what a marvellous day it was.

“It makes me feel proud with a big thank you to those that came along to Paddy’s Day 2022,” said Marty.

Kim Clerke and friends said the celebration even eclipsed the previous year.

“The atmosphere at the Coffs Hotel was incredible, the decorations nearly outshone the emerald outfits, and Unison had the Shamrock Bar moving and grooving.

“The Coffs Coast Pipes and Drums mesmerised us all and tugged at the heartstrings.

“These festivities put everyone in such a mood that there were even people powering through their first ever pint of Guinness.

“It was even bigger than the last one,” said Kim.

ARCH at PETstock Pet Adoption Day

By Andrea FERRARI EDUCATION on responsible pet ownership was the main purpose for the Animal Rescue Coffs Harbour (ARCH) team hosting National PETstock Pet Adoption Day on Saturday 19 March.

The ARCH team was present in the Coffs Harbour PETstock store, near Park Beach Plaza, with some of their own adopted and fostered pets, along with cats and kittens who are looking for their forever home.

“It’s important for people

q

to understand pet adoption is not about giving away free cats,” Vanessa Read, ARCH Treasurer and local vet nurse, told News Of The Area.

“When you adopt an animal there’s the responsibility for the cat’s or dog’s health, desexing and vet work.”

Cats and puppies are brought into ARCH, either abandoned as young as a day or two old, or are surrendered by owners who cannot cope with, or afford, more animals in their home.

“It’s important to stop the

cycle of cats having kittens so desexing is all part of the adoption process,” said Vanessa.

ARCH runs a Last Litter Program which means if your cat has an unwanted litter, you can surrender the kittens and ARCH will take care of the desexing of both the cat and her kittens.

As much as ARCH is looking for people to adopt their cats and dogs, they are also seeking more foster carers.

“This role suits someone who wants to offer a short term home for an animal who is waiting to be placed in permanent adoption, while they go through all their vet

“We’ve got some beautiful older cats…I would love people to think about adopting an older cat.

“PETstock has been so good to us, with supporting and organising donations and fundraisers.

“PETstock is also exclusively about supporting rescue animals and our efforts to find their forever homes; they do not sell animals.”

fostering and forever homes.”

Kittens can go on heat and fall pregnant as young as four months old.

“The cycle can happen so quickly, it’s important that desexing takes place early on,” said Vanessa.

There are also older cats and dogs needing adoption.

“For these animals you have to be prepared for their ageing issues,” Heather Watkins, President of ARCH, told News Of The Area.

q Tinkerbell, who is under a year old, was brought into the care of ARCH by her owner who surrendered her along with her first litter of seven kittens. Tinkerbell is now desexed and ready for a new home.

Men’s Sheds make hearts for Lismore

By Andrea FERRARI

RESILIENT Lismore (Helping Hands), a volunteer community group that was set up in response to the 2017 floods in Lismore, has launched its Creative First Aid project aimed at supporting the mental health of its residents during the long road to recovery and beyond, after the March 2022 floods.

“Lismore is sometimes known as ‘Lovemore’ and ‘hearts’ are our unofficial symbol,” Ros Martens from Resilient Lismore told News Of The Area.

The project has been put to Men’s Sheds around the country to make plain heart shapes in plywood and masonic which the town of Lismore’s people

can decorate with their own messages of hope and inspiration.

“This project aims to bring that love back into the town.

“In the coming weeks a stall will be set up in the Quad in Lismore with all the hearts made by Men’s Sheds near and far, who know how important being creative is for your mental health,” said Ros. “Residents will be able to come into the heart of Lismore and make their mark on the hearts – telling their story, offering thanks, words of encouragement and hopefully painting a colourful picture.

“Hearts will also be distributed to schools allowing children to make a contribution to the welfare

“These hearts will then be hung around the town, to decorate, brighten, inspire, and give hope to the wonderful people who live and love Lismore.

“We are in desperate need of paint, art brushes and black textas to decorate the hearts, so any donations would be very much appreciated,” she said.

Ken Ryan, Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed told News Of The Area, “This is a positive action for children and people to make something beautiful in a muddy environment.

Local Lions deliver to Lismore

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Lions Club members Chris and Rosemary Hansen took the opportunity of a recent trip to Tweed Heads to detour into Lismore to provide support to the community aid endeavours of their fellow Lions in Lismore.

The Hansens were able to personally deliver several donations of money and goods given to them by various local Coffs Harbour organisations.

“Big Country Meats matched us kilo for kilo on sausages purchased for the Lismore Lions to barbeque as part of their efforts to feed the hungry volunteers,” Rosemary told News Of The Area.

“And Jacks Eggs kindly donated twelve dozen eggs for the breakfast chefs to cook up.

“There are a lot of people

who are struggling to get regular meals since losing their homes and businesses in the floods, so Lismore Lions served those who were busily engaged in the massive clean-up operations after the flood and anyone who just needed a feed.”

Jacks Eggs, along with Chris and Rosemary, were also able to deliver supplies of much needed clean drinking water donated by Carol Marks, for the community.

As well as these donated goods several organisations, including one from Melbourne, got together to raise funds for the flood victims.

“Paul Dillon and his fellow bowlers at Strathmore Bowls Club took the hat around to members of their club and managed to raise $1,000 for the local Lions to distribute when local families can return to their damaged homes.

“Urunga Uniting Church donated $1,000 for the cause along with $250 given by a friend.

“Going in to Lismore was a small detour on our trip to

Tweed Heads, but well worth the time to see first-hand the kindness being displayed by so many in this time of need and the fantastic efforts by local community groups in

funds for a very important and worthwhile cause.

“Cancer touches many people’s lives, in so many ways,” Mary told News Of The Area.

“This is our way of raising both awareness of what the CanDo organisation does, and funds for the continuation of their work.”

The Mad Hatters Tea Party starts at 2pm, with

entry by donations, along with the opening of the CHCAG’s ‘Fabulous Fakes’ exhibition.

This exhibition showcases members’ interpretations of the works of other artists.

“It’s quite amazing the depth of talent of our members when it comes to creating their version of a famous painting,” said Sue Roberts, CHCAG President.

“This is one of our most popular exhibitions, with members and visitors alike.”

The exhibition runs until 10 May, open from 10am to 2pm, Monday to Saturday.

By Andrea FERRARI FUNDING for local notfor-profit and charity organisations on the Coffs Coast which are working to overcome disadvantage or create opportunities for marginalised or isolated people, is available in a new round of funding from the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation.

Applications close on 14 April.

The Charitable Foundation has $800,000

on offer to support new or existing projects across a region that reaches from the Central Coast to the Northern Rivers/North Coast and Central West regions of NSW. Newly appointed Charitable Foundation executive officer Carly Bush said with the impacts of the flood emergency and COVID-19 hitting support organisations and charities hard, communities need funding more than ever.

“This latest grant round of $800,000 means the

Charitable Foundation will have provided $25 million in funding to support more than 520 initiatives,” Carly said.

“Some charities and regional communities aren’t eligible or can’t access government funding and infrastructure, so the Charitable Foundation tries to fill those gaps,” she said.

“We’re keen to support initiatives that rewrite the future of people in need, now and for generations to come.

“Especially those with a focus on health, young people and social wellbeing.”

She said many charities don’t have resources to make funding applications, so the Charitable Foundation makes applying online straight forward.

The Foundation is very keen to hear from Coffs based charities who need funding support.

Some of the Coffs projects previously supported include the following.

In the 2020/21 funding round, $79,000 was granted to Coffs Coast Legacy to run its Two Dogs Sailing Program

for veterans experiencing PTSD and other mental health issues.

Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation funded the refurbishment of the SV Mystic boat to deliver the program, including new sails, electronics, safety equipment and training for the crew.

In the 2019/20 funding round $154,000 was granted to Cancer Council NSW to pilot an Australian-first Transport to Treatment booking system, TRIPS, through its Coffs Harbour regional office.

Harbour office volunteer Garth Howard was awarded the Foundation Chairman’s 2020 Medal for his services to the community.

The Foundation’s website will give charities more information on how to apply for the funding.

Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation was created almost 20 years ago as a gift from the Newcastle Permanent Building Society to the community.

SWIFF 2022 Program Announced

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) program for 2022 was unveiled at The Jetty Theatre, last Friday night, March 18.

More than 200 people wined and dined while they perused the 80-page, fullcolour program.

The Festival Trailer that will screen before each film was unveiled as well as trailers for a number of the films to be shown during the Festival.

Festival Directors Kate Howat and David Horsley have worked tirelessly to bring more than 130 sessions and events to the Coffs Coast over sixteen days, from Thursday 21 April to Friday 6 May, 2022.

SWIFF Artistic Director Kate Howat said, “People are ready to embrace shared arts experiences again.

“Seeing the enthusiasm for the festival has given us licence to grow bolder, both in the addition of STORYLAND, and in the comprehensive film line-up we’ve made for all the film tragics out there, just like us.”

SWIFF audiences will be among the first in Australia to witness ‘The Northman’, featuring an all-star lineup that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Icelandic superstar, Björk.

Works from 40 countries are featured in this year’s World Cinema program, making it the most culturally rich line-up in SWIFF history.

SWIFF ‘22 will also present a line-up of the very best in new Australian films.

These include award winner ‘Ablaze’ and ‘Ithak’, the story of John Shipton, father of imprisoned Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, in his fight to save his son.

John Shipton, Gabriel Shipton and director Ben Lawrence are guests of the Festival.

There will also be a seven-film retrospective to honour one of the most audacious filmmakers of all time, Paul Verhoeven.

These include the 1992 blockbuster ‘Basic Instinct’, ‘Robocop’ and ‘Flesh+Blood’, starring Festival Patron Jack Thompson.

The program will also

SWIFF Live also returns with two film screenings

accompanied by live music on stage.

Closing SWIFF’22 will be ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, a sci-fi action adventure starring acclaimed actress Michelle Yeoh and the iconic Jamie

Lee Curtis.

THE Coffs Hotel will take a trip back in time to 1937 on Friday 1 April as the iconic local hotel celebrates its 85th anniversary.

Long-serving Publican Marty Phillips is excited to welcome punters to the Hotel for the celebrations, and hopes the community will get into the spirit of the 1930s themed day out.

“We are going back to the 1930s,” Marty said.

“We open at 10am, and a

The celebrations kick off with some light music in the morning and hotel-goers will be greeted by characters from the era throughout the day.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

What is a grant of Letters of Administration?

TONY makes a will leaving the whole of his estate to his three children.

He appoints his brother as his executor.

When Tony passes-away many years later, his children take the will to Tony’s bank and ask for the proceeds of his bank accounts to be released to them.

The bank manager informs them that Tony’s brother, as executor, must apply to have the funds released.

The children explain to the bank manager that unfortunately, their uncle is also deceased.

They are informed that the bank therefore requires Letters of Administration.

The children make an appointment with a solicitor and ask them to write a letter of administration.

Unfortunately, it is not that simple.

A solicitor cannot write a letter of administration.

‘Letters of Administration’ is in fact a term that refers to a formal grant that is made by the Supreme Court.

The grant is similar to a grant of probate and the process involves filing a Summons and supporting Affidavits with the Court.

When the Court makes the grant, it posts a physical document, bound in red cardboard, carrying the seal of the Court, to the children’s solicitor.

Certified copies of this physical grant can then be used to realise the assets of the estate.

The children then attempt to use the grant to realise Tony’s superannuation.

The superannuation fund informs them that the balance of the fund does not automatically form part of Tony’s estate and in the absence of a binding death benefit nomination, the super fund can decide whether to pay the balance to the children, Tony’s estate or to any other dependents.

The superfund embarks on a drawn-out line of enquiry spanning several months.

If Tony had obtained proper estate planning advice and updated his affairs, these headaches could have been avoided.

The dark heart of local independent politics DEAR News Of The Area, ONCE again our regular self-proclaimed BS exposer W Duesbury, (‘Teal Independents’, p25, Coffs Coast NOTA, Opinion and Letters, 11 March Edition) has uncovered the supposed dark heart of local independent politics. Apparently an organisation called Climate 200 with a ‘green’ agenda (now there’s a misleading name!) is backing some Independent candidates in Federal coalition held seats.

Not exactly a surprising revelation.

I would expect it’s pretty damn expensive to run for Parliament as an Independent and it no doubt makes sense to have the assistance of group resources and advice.

We’re not all Clive Palmers, having racked up billions by property speculation on the back of selling off our country's

24 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

natural resources to overseas interests.

With his BS sniffing nose for things that smell, I cannot wait for Mr Duesbury’s exposé of recent Federal Government policy and funding announcements.

Not to mention their backflips and catchy marketing phrases as they attempt to dispel their attachment to the big lobbyist groups and all things fossil before the upcoming election.

It’s great to see an ordinary local person put their hand up to have a go.

If the result is some blood-letting of sitting Coalition members which reminds them that we don’t accept the smug dishonesty, that we do want genuine integrity and accountability, and fairness, and policies which look beyond the next term of office, then that can only be a good thing for our nation.

Who cares what colour it is?

By Karen FILEWOOD VERY little is known about James Davidson, although he took out a free selection in the village of Ashby, near Maclean in September 1862, the area known then as ‘Rocky Mouth’.

He was also a devout Presbyterian

A Casualty of Conviction

and by 1866, was the clerk of the committee for that congregation and the following year was appointed one of three trustees for land dedicated for Presbyterian Church purposes.

Despite his ties with the local church, he decided to act on personal advice received from Presbyterian minister, Rev. Edward Holland of Campbelltown, to relocate to Bellingen.

It was, he was informed, a very suitable place to settle as it was “admirably adapted both for the cultivation of sugarcane and maize”.

Consequently, in June 1869 he sold his draught mare and colt, leased his farm

to William Shearer, then packed his swag and set off on a long walk down the coast, accompanied by his dogs.

Not far from Coffs Harbour he called into a hut near ‘Boemly’ (Boambee) creek before continuing his journey, however, after this encounter, nothing was heard of him.

A short while later, a party following him discovered his dogs on the opposite bank and after a search, found tracks leading into the creek but none on the opposite bank coming out of it.

This, combined with the continued presence of his dogs, raised suspicions of him having drowned and the nearest police

The Daily Brew - Coffee

By Fiona MORGAN

COFFEA arabica HOW long could you go without coffee?

With the recent climate change induced flooding shocking everyone, how resilient are our supplies, really?

If the trucks stopped for a while the shops would be empty of essentials very quickly and I imagine coffee could be a rare luxury.

In good news, coffee grows really well all by itself in this area.

So well, that it's considered a sleeper weed.

Net trees while they are in fruit to prevent birds from spreading the seeds in the cherries which they are quite attracted to, and which then germinate and grow almost

anywhere they land, because coffee happily grows in the shade.

How many trees?

One mature tree gives 250 – 600 grams of dry green beans each year.

Each tree can be kept pruned to 3m.

How long to a cuppa?

At least four years to maturity from seedling and the tree should last ten to fifteen years.

It can also be grown from cuttings.

Most dropped coffee cherries will germinate so there should be no trouble in replacing trees.

What it hates Frost. Even short periods below 0°C will defoliate the bush.

That's bad, really bad!

Waterlogging. A well drained soil is essential.

They have no tolerance for soggy ground.

Wind. The bush is a bit sensitive to wind damage.

Wind also knocks off the flowers or cherries that would otherwise become your beans.

Which one? That's easy.

Due to climate requirements, C. arabica is the only species used for commercial coffee production in Australia.

Home preparation of coffee beans to drink is a bit of a process.

You might need a coffee to home-prepare coffee!

The coffee bush will flower over a period of time and the cherries which contain the

Ethics and the mystery of life DEAR News Of The Area,

IN every culture, worldwide, children are taught a remarkably similar set of ethics – around broad themes of honesty, respect, non violence and responsibility These values are universal, and only vary slightly between ethnic groups.

While we do see exceptions on a

daily basis, these values still rule our behaviour as adults.

The exceptions seem to be most prominent in some higher achieving areas – notably business and politics.

In the case of unethical behaviour in big businesses, we certainly disapprove but have little opportunity to express an opinion or to punish misdemeanours.

But in the area of politics, we elect MP’s every three years - commonly for multiple electoral terms.

We clearly have the opportunity at three yearly intervals to punish bad behaviour by any individual candidate.

But around the country we rarely do this - we re-elect serial offenders (and the political parties that fail to eject them).

were informed.

Constable Healy was sent to search for a body, however, nothing was found aside from a swag and a pile of clothes on the bank of the creek, about 360 meters from the creek mouth.

These were identified as belonging to Davidson, as within the swag and pockets of his clothes was Rev. Holland’s letter, the lease of his land at Ashby and cash, probably from the sale of his horses.

As the creek was thought to have been in ‘freshet’ (flood) at the time, it was presumed he was swept out to sea.

coffee beans (the seed) ripen throughout August to October in this area.

This means they will need to be regularly picked over the season and can't just be gathered in one session.

Once picked, they will need soaking, peeling off the fruit, soaking again, drying (unless you're ready to roast immediately) and roasting.

I hear a popcorn maker is goldilocks for roasting coffee beans.

Green beans can be dry fried in a frypan over a flame.

There is also oven roasting.

There's more!

We reward them for destroying that same code of ethics we follow individually.

The obvious question seems to be… if their partners and colleagues can’t trust them, why should we?

Are we stupid ?

Regards, Roger BURKE, Bellingen.

Where are our leaders in face of disaster?

DEAR News Of The Area,

LISMORE’S record breaking flood, and Broken Hill's all-time peak a fortnight later coincide with extremes set worldwide.

Fire and rain.

Climate science predicts disasters of intensity and frequency.

Where are our acknowledging leader's?

There's a flat earth attitude within the National Party.

Greenhouse climate has been a public

debate since the 1980's.

Consistently, they've ridiculed the ongoing proof of climate change.

Like a baffled elderly uncle they've offered pub-talk wisdom: "The climate has always changed.” Denial and whitewash.

It's a vanity problem, predominantly male.

With the science confirmed as absolute, face must be saved.

They bunker down.

Pride. Ego.

Time for a vote revolt.

In the coming Federal election, around the country independent female candidates will campaign for strong action on global warming.

In our electorate of Cowper, Caroline (Caz) Heise is this community's Voices 4 Cowper candidate.

If you wish to know more about her, the ABC have filmed Caz and a city independent candidate as subjects for an upcoming Australian Story episode.

Why? Because charismatic female candidates have redefined the political landscape: it's news.

Watch this program if you've had enough of pre-spun politicians in immaculate hardhats and visibility vests.

The show's a prelude, see what you get.

OneMob Radio becomes a corporation

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCALLY founded OneMob Radio station has officially become the OneMob Media Aboriginal Corporation as of 11 March.

“We will continue trading as OneMob Radio but will be transitioning from our auspicing organisation, Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation (BMNAC), to our newly formed OneMob Media Aboriginal Corporation (OMMAC),” Lachlan Skinner, OneMob founder, told News Of The Area.

“Like OneMob Radio, OneMob Media was a dream.

“Radio is one way our people can share, promote, celebrate, and engage but there are many other ways we want to do that too and that is why we went with the ‘open umbrella’ approach instead of the ‘closed umbrella’

approach,” he said.

“It’s a bit like leaving the nest.

“I’m nervous, because Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation has been such an incredible auspicing body…so supportive and wanting to see our business and businesses like us take flight.

“Now it’s time to take the jump.

“With that said, I consider myself the luckiest man in the world.

“To be surrounded by people who genuinely love and care for the growth of this new corporation and knowing they will support me every step of the way.

“We are so proud of the profile OneMob Radio has created over the last fifteen months.

“We have achieved many great things and we really want to acknowledge the

individuals, communities and the services/organisations that have supported us to this point.

“Moving forward, OneMob Radio is ready to take the next step and chapter in our journey.”

The move has been made possible through the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) CATSI Act 2006.

“Our membership decided OMMAC would be the most appropriate name for our corporation as it will allow for us to be open to growth and other possibilities.”

The founding members, Jennifer Skinner, John Miers, Zena Keidge, Jack Archibald, Noelene Skinner, Christian Lugnan, together with Lachlan, now all OMMAC members, have been heavily invested in making the current product ‘OneMob Radio’ as engaging and professional as it is.

From those founding members, they have also

The actual ‘quest’ requires children to find eight different posters in businesses around the Coffs Coast and scan the QR codes to collect ‘coins’ to complete the quest.

Mr Knight is an animator and programmer who works with a group of local creatives to produce TV advertising, documentaries and short animated films.

As well as the magazine, Mr Knight is currently working on a water safety animation featuring a family

of ducks called ‘The Waddles’ for the The Royal Life Saving Society.

Mr Knight said he had been thinking about how, while everyone was now using QR codes, there must be other ways to use them apart from linking to websites.

He showed some ideas to a friend who suggested that he approach Council.

Coffs TAFE training next generation of nurses

By Andrea FERRARI

AUSTRALIA needs more nurses and TAFE NSW Coffs campus is playing a pivotal role in training these much-needed healthcare workers.

Australia is currently in the midst of a nursing shortage, with Health Workforce Australia estimating the nation will need an additional 100,000 nurses by 2025 to meet demand.

President of the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association, Karen Booth, said COVID-19 has highlighted the crucial need for nurses in our communities and said TAFE NSW is key to meeting future workforce demand.

After rave reviews in 2021 during Seniors Week, the Sawtell Ukulele Group have been asked to return for Seniors Week 2022.

They will play at the

“We had a terrific new setlist ready for the Sawtell Super Fun Day, which unfortunately was cancelled this year, but for our aged care and Seniors performances, we like to keep the songs relevant for our audience and always upbeat.”

The Sawtell Ukulele Group, which just celebrated six years together, have been performing at aged care facilities across the

Coffs Coast and many local community events before the COVID pandemic hit.

They returned to regular rehearsals in October last year and you can hear them practice each Monday evening at the Sawtell Surf Club or on the first Saturday of the month at 63 First Ave, Sawtell.

“It’s been tricky with the various Covid restrictions around singing, so the group is really pleased to start performing again.

“It gives us something to

work toward and it’s always great to hone a set of songs that you know will bring some joy to the audience.”

When asked what songs to expect to hear at the event, Stephanie said there will be at least four decades covered, from the forties through to the seventies.

“Twenty minutes is not a long time, but we always manage to find time for ‘You Are My Sunshine’ – definitely a favourite in all Seniors performances.”

“This is what Seniors Week is all about.”

Sharing information will be the order of the day,

providing details of local programs and services that seniors might not know about.

“We will also be talking about our upcoming Healthy and Active for Life (HAL) online free program, which starts on 25 April, which seniors can join.

“You get access to online healthy lifestyle modules and two online exercise programs, weekly handouts and your own exercise manual.

“Participants have

access to a Life Coach who can talk through an individual’s particular capabilities and goals.

“The Seniors Week Festival event at Boambee East Community Centre is a day where we celebrate seniors and encourage everyone to come together and find out more about healthy ageing,” said Margo.

Some days the staff come in to work finding old mattresses, mouldy furniture and piles of clothes strewn around the back yard of the premises, and along the back laneway, Park Avenue Lane.

“Last Friday we came to work and there was a lounge, bedding, cutlery and bags of clothing covering an area as long as the container we have out the back – 25 feet of dumped ‘stuff’,” Tasha Duck, Manager at Coffs Harbour Salvation Army Family Store told News Of The Area.

“We have signs up that say we don’t take donations out of working hours which are 9am to 4am Monday to Friday and until 12.30 on Saturdays, because there is no one to take it in.

“When it sits there

overnight or over the weekend, the homeless come by and rip open the bags and it spreads down the laneway to the neighbouring businesses.”

Taking responsibility for the donated goods, Tasha’s team members gather them up and take everything in a truck to the Council waste facility where they get preferential rates on fees.

“People don’t want to pay the Council fees, they can’t afford it, but it’s not for the Salvation Army to gather up old lounges and strewn clothes and take it to the dump for them.

“Coffs Harbour has a mouldy environment and with all the rain and floods it’s even worse.

“People are clearing out their homes, but by the time it gets to us it’s not worth keeping - we have to sort and redirect it to the tip.”

Donations within working hours are gratefully

received, said Tasha, and with her team they are working on repurposing where they can.

Diamond art gift by Rotarians

By Andrea FERRARI

q Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour Daybreak Community Service Director Liz Donnan, Coffs Harbour Mental Health Inpatient Unit Peer Support Worker Dane Owen and Group Program Coordinator Llyris Wood, with Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour Daybreak President Ann Gee and some of the diamond art packages for patients.

INSPIRED by celebrating its own 21st birthday milestone, the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour Daybreak came up with a sparkling gift in support of others.

In true Rotary style, it’s all about giving to others even when the birthday is their own.

Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour Daybreak President Ann Gee and Community Service Director Liz Donnan presented $1,000 worth of diamond art to the Coffs Harbour Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit.

Mental Health Peer Support Worker Dane Owen and Registered Nurse Llyris Wood accepted the kind donation, which will be used, and enjoyed, by patients in

treatment and recovery.

Diamond art is a therapy that soothes the mind and body, rather like we feel when doing a jigsaw puzzle or painting by numbers.

It involves applying hundreds of resin rhinestones, one at a time, to an adhesive colour-coded canvas painting.

It not only stimulates creativity, but it also reduces stress and anxiety, fine-tunes physical motor skills and is a great way for people to unplug from technology, such as mobile phones, computer tablets and televisions.

Nurse Unit Manager Jess McEvoy thanked the club for its ongoing support.

“This is the second time the club has raised funds to donate diversional therapy art to the Mental Health Unit,

what the problems are, and how they are affecting essential workers.

“Lastly, we will be hosting a series of housing-related webinars featuring a range of people representing business, government and community, with the aim of exploring new and existing housing solutions.”

There is also work to be done at a federal and state level, with RDAMNC continuing to advocate for

tax-based solutions to the housing crisis.

“We need to carefully examine our tax and social security systems and the role it plays in limiting opportunities for affordable housing,” said Kieren Dell, RDAMNC Chair.

“For example, there are significant disincentives for people to downsize or take on boarders, as well as the extra costs in stamp duty and GST.” For more information on the housing film, or if you would like to showcase

and the support means a lot to our patients and staff,” said Jess.

“The club has also provided Christmas hampers to our patients over the years.

“It’s an act of kindness and generosity that continues to have a meaningful impact on those we care for.”

President Ann Gee said the Club was proud of its local and international projects, large and small.

“Supporting the Mental Health Unit is a meaningful way for our club to extend a hand in friendship to people who need it,” said Ann. “We are delighted to make this project happen because we know it brings creativity and happiness to those who participate.”

The Daybreak Rotarians raise funds through their annual Trivia Night, Bunnings BBQs and annual Golf Day, as well as member donations, to support their many projects.

Affordable Housing for Essential Workers on the Mid North Coast HOUSING affordability continues to be an acute issue across the Mid North Coast with the price of rentals and mortgages soaring out of the reach of many people who live and work in the region.

Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast (RDAMNC) has an important advocacy role in the region and is looking to maintain their focus on housing in 2022.

“Affordable housing for

essential workers (people who drive our caring, hospitality and agricultural industries) continues to be one of our key focus areas for this year,” said Kerry Grace, CEO of RDAMNC. “These people are being pushed out of the rental and home ownership markets with dire consequences for business and service delivery across the region.”

RDAMNC has an ambitious program of events and programs in

Golden Nest program launches in Bellingen

By Andrea FERRARI

SEEDING a loving connection to that which is meaningful, through play, craft, stories and movement, is the driving purpose of Suzane Polaris and Galit Fisher, founders of the Golden Nest program in Bellingen.

“The Little Birds Nature Group within the Golden Nest strives to create connection to nature through stories, movement, singing, a nature walk, craft, a puppet story and much more,” Suzane and Galit told News Of The Area.

This group is designed for children aged from threeand-a-half to six years of age.

Launched in February 2022, Suzane and Galit, both former Steiner Early Childhood Education professionals, had been brewing the idea for many months.

With the pandemic restrictions easing off, the pair felt it was timely to launch their nature-based program.

“Life during Covid has been fear-based,” said Galit.

“The Golden Nest is our response to bringing something healthy and loving to our community and to the world, love is the antidote to q Creating a summer mobile with wooden sticks, natural wool and shells.

fear.

“Being in nature is the antidote to a fast-paced life caught up in consumerism.”

The Golden Nest mornings have a gentle structure which involves rhythm.

“This rhythm includes coming together in a circle to greet each other, greet the day and acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr land upon which we stand.

“During this time we weave together the seasonal songs and stories.

“Then we take a walk in nature.

“It is guided by us but there’s space to be free and wander together,” said Suzane.

“We visit particular trees and absorb the changes that take place during the seasons.

“Each week we will watch how the liquidambar changes.”

Back for morning tea, the children and parents sit together and talk about their golden moment from the week in relation to nature.

Galit pointed out that everything we do relates back to nature and our connection to the natural world.

And Suzane added, “A child might talk about how they saw a puddle and they

found tadpoles there, or they might talk about their pet bunny, and we share how the rabbit feels soft.

“This brings images to the children’s minds that help them feel a loving connection to nature.”

Galit and Suzane are looking forward to extending and developing the existing

Yellow-bellied gliders Vulnerable

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Nature Conservation Council of NSW says the listing of yellow-bellied gliders in south-east Australia as vulnerable to extinction is another reason to end native forest logging in NSW. News Of The Area has previously reported on the discovery of gliders near the Kalang headwaters and flagged a change in classification.

Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley has listed the iconic species as vulnerable on the advice

Friday, 25 March 2022

of the Federal Threatened Species Scientific Committee, coming soon after the Minister increased the threatened status of the koalas in NSW and Queensland from ‘vulnerable’ to ‘endangered’.

Chris Gambian, Chief Executive of the Nature Conservation Council, said, “Thanks to decades of unsustainable logging and land clearing, we have pushed two of our most adorable forests species to the brink of extinction.

“If we do not end native forest logging and land clearing now, we will lose

The next stage is developing a garden so the children can learn about where their food comes from.

Suzane said, “We will be growing something we can use in morning tea, like some herbs that we can bake in our homemade buns.”

Galit believes that

these species forever.”

The Committee found the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires, which destroyed more than five million hectares of forests, were a key factor that had increased risks to both species, along with land clearing, habitat fragmentation, and climate change.

“The NSW Government is still logging forests that were smashed by the Black Summer bushfires or forests that have become precious refuges for koalas and gliders that fled the flames,” Mr Gambian said.

“The native forest division of the NSW Government’s logging company, Forestry Corporation, lost $20 million

last financial year.

“Effectively, taxpayers are subsidising the extinction of our koalas and gliders.

“It’s morally reprehensible,” he continued.

Local conservationist Mark Graham, has some yellow-bellied gliders on his property at Darkwood.

“They’re a large gliding possum that eats nectar and pollen and licks sap from eucalypts and occasionally eat insects,” he said.

Mr Graham said the gliders live in small family groups in forests with lots of hollows and said, “Their call sounds like Donald Duck being strangled.”

He said that they have disappeared locally from a number of sites, but said, “Wherever they live they need to be protected.”

growing and eating seasonal food is a healthy habit to instill in children and parents.

“By creating a safe environment for children, they feel comfortable to create.

“We are working to inspire an alternative to consumerism,” said Galit.

Suzane gave the example of hand making a doll instead of buying one.

Handmade toys are made with love, and take time and care.

The children feel nurtured by the love that has been put into it.

“As a result of this connection it is more likely the child will be playing with the toy for longer or even a lifetime, because it’s cherished,” she said.

The next Golden Nest session is on 1 April, 9-11am at the CWA Bellingen Country Women Association, across from Number 5 Café.

They also have a simple version of this Program for babies and toddlers, meeting every Thursday at the Park.

The young lock had been on the radar of a number of NRL teams, as his father explained.

“He actually had other clubs look at him, such as Wests Tigers, Parramatta, Souths, and the Broncos,” he said.

“He had offers to attend boarding schools and play for St Gregory’s and Newington College in Sydney.”

Luke’s father said that signing with the Titans made the most sense.

“The Gold Coast suited

him better and the lifestyle played a big part,” he said.

“Quite a few kids he played with in PSSA North Coast rep teams ended up going to Palm Beach-Currumbin.

“And all his mothers’ family live in South Queensland, so it just made more sense.”

The proud parents said the Gold Coast Titans had eyed off Luke for a while.

“They had been watching Luke for eighteen months, and they couldn’t believe he was available as they thought Parramatta had signed him,” he said.

COFFS Coast Athletics Club members have proven themselves to be amongst the best young athletes in the state.

Eight of the region’s best junior athletes travelled to Sydney to compete in the Little Athletics NSW Track and Field State Championships.

Linc Henry won two bronze medals in the under 14s 90m and 200m hurdles, and he also made two other state finals finishing 5th in the long jump and 7th in the triple jump.

Nate Butcher also brought home a bronze medal finishing third in

the under 9s high jump at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre.

Fern Berry and Amaia Wain also made state finals, with Berry finishing 5th in the under 15s triple jump, and her teammate Wain finishing 7th in the under 15s high jump.

Tiah Allen, Riley Morrissey, Josh Upsall, and Bodhi Wain also recorded a number of top-20 finishes in their events.

Coffs Coast Little Athletics president Brooke Henry praised the efforts of the team of eight young athletes at a tough event.

“The team did very well in tough conditions and posted some really great

times, heights and distances that they should all be proud of,” she said.

“Some were lucky enough to post personal bests, but there were plenty of smiles all round which was great to see.

“A big thank you to all of the helpers over the weekend including coach Glenn Thacker for helping the kids throughout the weekend.

“It is a great accomplishment for the athletes to make it to this level and a great experience for them to compete at great facilities against the best in the state.

“They should all be very proud of their achievements.”

Coffs United Under 16s girls take on Nambucca Challenge Cup

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs United under 16s girls stepped up from junior grade to play in the women’s open grade at the Nambucca Challenge Cup where they exceeded expectations by making it through to the final.

The Lionesses defeated Nambucca and Kempsey in the group stages and then defeated the Banigas 3-1 in the semi finals, who were a composite team of Indigenous players and Nambucca players.

The run came to an end in the final when they lost 5-0 to the 2020 North Coast champions Urunga FC who went through the competition undefeated.

Lionesses’ coach Brett Hodgekiss said it was all about having fun making the transition to senior football.

“I’m really looking

forward to the season ahead and helping the girls develop as individuals and make the transition into women's football.

“I entered the under 16 girls into the women's division for some pre season matches and so they could see how they aimed up against senior women.

“There were no expectations, just have fun and enjoy the weekend playing in a senior cup set up.

“It’s an exciting period for Coffs United as we have entered two senior women's teams and are still looking for first and second division players for season 2022, any enquiries please contact me on 0410414376,” said Brett.

The Bulldogs finished as undefeated minor premiers with four wins and a draw in their home and away season.

The Bulldogs claimed the minor premiership with a 36-14 victory against ladder leaders Central Coast Roosters in Wauchope.

The Bulldogs under 18s now play the Macarthur Wests Tigers in the semifinals of the Laurie Daley Cup. Bulldogs under 18s coach Matt Freebairn explained why his team were able to finish as minor premiers.

“We have the ability

to turn up on the big occasions, and in a fivegame competition you have to turn up every week and that’s what they’ve done,” he said.

“Just being positive on and off the field and the way they play for each other, there is no negativity in the whole Bulldogs system and it's just a positive environment.

“They are a special group of kids, everybody gets to be themselves and we are more interested in the person rather than the player.”

The North Coast Bulldogs sides feature some of the best Group 2 Junior Rugby League players, as they take part in NSW’s regional representative competitions.

The North Coast Bulldogs under 16s representative side just missed out on a semi-final berth in the Andrew Johns Cup, finishing one point behind fourth spot after a 16-16 draw with the Central Coast Roosters.

The grade four team heads to Yamba to play sectional rounds against Temora, Bronte and South Lismore.

The sixes travel to Maitland to face Engadine, Halekulani and Majellan in their sectional playoff.

Finals in all seven grades

will be played on Sunday 27 March, 2022.

This is the first time both men and women will compete together for state titles since unification last year. Covid-19 restrictions resulted in the 2021 playoffs being delayed.

Sawtell Bowling and Recreation Club chairman Paul Covington said the club

is ecstatic to have such a big representation at state level particularly in the Open Gender competition.

“Sawtell was one of the big drivers of unification and we are now seeing the results of this early embracement of men and women competing with each other,” Mr Covington said.

“The strength of the club

is indicative of this stance having attracted several fine men and women bowlers from other clubs in the area to play for the unified Stingrays.”

“I wish all four Sawtell teams good bowling and I am sure that all the players, team managers and supporters will represent our club proudly.”

HOT WATER

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

FATHER BROWN

ABC, 7.30pm

SUNDAY

GRAND DESIGNS NEW ZEALAND

ABC, 7.40pm

Many of the people who feature in this creative building series like to think outside the box. They say a man’s home is his castle, but what one person considers to be attractive, the other may find dull. With Sumita and Cameron Dale, it’s fair to say their dream home doesn’t really lend itself to any of these adjectives. The married ex-police officers shun convention by buying a plot of land to build their “lighthouse” dwelling. Their strict budget and unusual home design – some may even whisper it’s unattractive – results in a building unlike any seen on this series. Tune in to read into presenter Chris Moller’s (above) reaction.

Step back into the 1950s and revisit the picturesque and charming town of Kembleford, the fictional village set in the Cotswolds. Father Brown returns for its ninth season, with the guarantee of murder and intrigue brimming in the idyllic farming locale. This landmark season will conclude with the muchloved show’s 100th episode, set on New Year’s Eve at a fancy masked ball. Tonight, in “The Menace of Mephistopheles”, the titular hatted clergyman (Mark Williams, righta) faces a confounding mystery when Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton) turns to him for help after he witnesses Inspector Mallory (Jack Deam) frame an innocent man. It’s crime made almost wholesome.

THE AMAZING RACE

PRIME7, 8.40pm

Where there’s a will, there’s a way for a big-budget extravaganza such as The Amazing Race.

After more than 30 seasons of aeronautic, cross-country hijinks (hosted by Barry Keoghan), this 33rd season was initially cut short because of the pandemic. Teams kicked off the competition in February 2020, then resumed filming more than a year later in September 2021; that’s a lot of time to revise and game plan. Tonight, the finish is on the horizon: it’s the final leg, with three teams left ready to take on the trip from Lisbon, Portugal, to Los Angelesv. Filmed using a private jet to avoid COVID complications, the $1 million cash prize seems like a drop in the ocean in comparison.
