“The community is experiencing the mounting impacts of chronic stress and worry about the future, whilst on the other hand, we are seeing enormous acts of generosity and community resilience every day.

“Young people demonstrate their resilience in the face of adversity, and as always, we have much to learn from them.

“This is such a tough time for young people with so many uncertainties, with many of their emotional needs, hopes and dreams impacted by the pandemic.

“We encourage young people to keep on reaching out and getting support, talking about mental health, and trying to keep a healthy headspace.

“We also encourage everyone to stay connected in every way possible.

“The centre is open; our warm and caring multidisciplinary team includes peer support workers, youth workers, psychologists and clinical psychologists, a dietician and a mental health nurse, (who) are seeing young people through telehealth (online and phone appointments).” headspace offers early-intervention mental health, physical and sexual health, drug and alcohol and vocational support for

young people aged 12-25.

“Young people in our region are facing a number of common concerns; trauma of bushfire season, disruption and uncertainty of COVID-19, housing shortages, job uncertainties and uncertainties around planning of big life events in a very uncertain world, contributing to increases in mental health service needs across our region.”

In the past twelve months, headspace Coffs Harbour saw a 14 % increase in young people who received services and a 62 % increase in new young people to the

services.

“It’s really important for families and young people to remember they are not alone.

“As a community, we can help each other to face our common difficulties.”

You can contact headspace Coffs Harbour on (02) 6652 1878 from 9am to 5pm.

The online event is on Wednesday, 8 September for Coffs Harbour.

Payday Inequity FROM Page 1 financial year.

In 2021, the national gender pay gap is 14.2%, up from 13.4% in 2020.

On average, women working full-time earn $1,575.50 per week while men working fulltime earn $1,837.00 and the full-time average weekly earnings difference between women and men is $261.50.

Australian Federation of Business and Professional Women (BPW Australia) is marking Equal Pay Day 2021 by joining Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) to call on Australians to ask #WhatsYourPayGap in their workplaces and industries.

They see this as a crucial step towards bridging the divide and say that research indicates that when organisations analyse and take action on pay equity, the gender pay gap closes.

Major factors that contribute to the gender pay gap are discrimination and bias in hiring and pay decisions and that women and men work in different industries and different jobs, with female-dominated industries attracting lower wages.

Women still do a disproportionate share of unpaid caring and domestic work, there is still a lack of workforce flexibility to accommodate caring and other responsibilities, especially in senior roles and women's greater time out of the workforce impacts their career progression and opportunities.

Jacqueline Graham, BPW Australia President said, “We want our clubs to join in the call to start a conversation with members and their networks about the gender pay gap, what it means to them and how we can help to close it.

“BPW Australia surveyed women earlier this year on their experiences and expectations of the future of work and we

Friday, 27 August 2021

found women were telling us they lack the confidence on current policy settings valuing their work, for example the skills and pay for someone pushing the wheelbarrow vs someone pushing the wheelchair.”

However, some workplaces are moving forward.

The President of BPW Coffs Harbour, Sofia Ellington, said of her workplace, “At ANZ, the representation of women in leadership and achieving gender equality is a business imperative - it’s about accessing the talent, markets and economic opportunities that gender equality brings.

“Equal remuneration is a key component of improving women’s economic security and progressing equality and ANZ is proactive in this area, with appropriate strategies and policy in place to ensure no gender bias occurs,” she said.

q Kellie Pearce talks about superannuation at last year’s event. BPW Coffs Harbour hopes to hold an event this September.

Two men charged following alleged attempted carjacking – Coffs Harbour TWO men have been charged as part of investigations into an alleged attempted carjacking in Coffs Harbour.

About 4.20pm on Thursday 12 August 2021, a 21-year-old woman and her 17-year-old female passenger were driving a Honda Accord when they stopped behind a Ford Territory on Bailey Avenue.

It is alleged the passenger of the Ford approached the women and demanded money, before the occupants of the Honda were able to drive from the scene.

It is further alleged the Ford followed the Honda through Coffs Harbour and when they were forced to stop behind stationary traffic, the driver of the Ford approached the woman’s car and grabbed the keys from the ignition before leaving the scene in his vehicle.

The woman contacted police and officers from the Coffs/Clarence Police District attended and commenced an investigation.

Following inquiries, officers arrested a 38-year-old man on Thursday 12 August 2021.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

He was charged with robbery and refused bail.

The matter remains before the courts.

On Tuesday 17 August 2021, officers attended a home on Coramba Road, Glenreagh, and arrested a 36-year-old man.

He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station and charged with demand money with menaces and breach of bail.

He was refused bail and to appear in Coffs Harbour Local Court on Wednesday 18 August 2021.

Inquiries continue.

2014, I have been committed and am training nine times a week, twohour sessions in the pool and three one-hour strength and conditioning sessions in the gym; and running and walking for fitness.”

FOUR Coffs Harbour councillors are facing disciplinary action after being found to have engaged in misconduct by the Office of Local Government (OLG).

Councillors Paul Amos, John Arkan, Keith Rhoades and Tegan Swan have had payment of their fees suspended for two months

by OLG Coordinator General Kiersten Fishburn.

The four councillors breached the code of conduct by failing to attend two official meetings which deprived the council of a quorum resulting in consideration of important business not being able to proceed.

The meetings were due to consider a rescission motion in relation to a development proposal for a Cultural and Civic Space in the Coffs Harbour CBD which was eventually lost on the casting vote of Mayor Denise Knight at a subsequent council meeting.

At an Ordinary Meeting of Coffs Harbour City Council held on 25 July 2019, a motion was made to rescind the resolution for the Progression of the Cultural and Civic Space Project, which was passed at Council’s 11 July 2019 meeting.

Afghan Hearts Break

By Sandra MOON AS Kabul fell under the rule of the Taliban, former refugees who settled in Coffs Harbour watched on in horror.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, one former refugee agreed to speak with News Of The Area.

For this story’s purpose he will be called Ahmad.

Ahmad and his family moved to Coffs Harbour in 2015 under the refugee settlement program.

Ahmad said to watch what is happening in Afghanistan is just painful.

“Why is it happening to our country?

“Now there is no hope to go back.

“I have lost the hope to have a possible future in Afghanistan,” he said.

“I was planning to go back after studying at university and to take some of my friends to show them what a beautiful place it was.

“Now I cannot do that.”

Ahmad said while his family and friends were surprised by the Taliban takeover, he had his suspicions about the Taliban’s return.

“I was expecting the Taliban to come,” he said.

“In terms of them getting Kabul within a week that was a surprise.

“That was such a short time.”

Ahmad’s family has been

severely affected by the Taliban’s return to power, with some fleeing to Iran and some becoming internally displaced persons.

Ahmad explained why the family became displaced within Afghanistan.

“The reason the family moved from their town into another area in Afghanistan was that when the Taliban came last time they murdered a family member in the late 90s,” he said.

“He was targeted because

Online mental health support here to help

By Andrea FERRARI

ONLINE Mental Health support is emerging as an accessible option in response to a recent Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) InSight+ article which reported that less than one-in-six people with psychological distress are seeking professional help.

Wellness champion Layne Beachley and medical professionals are calling all Australians to take care of their mental health, and advocating tele-tech, online mental health support as an option, such as MyMirror.

Raleigh mother and ‘nanma’ Shireen Gilmore has

stepped up to News Of The Area’s call for a local person managing her mental health to share her experience, “An online mental health program would be amazing,” Shireen said.

“As a sufferer of anxiety and depression, times have been very difficult as people don't understand what you are going through.

“Having a program that you can explore and discover how and why you are feeling the way you are, having tools and strategies that you can get hold of straight away, may just be that thing that gets you through the night.

“Counselling and

have to wait for over eight weeks to see someone just when you need immediate help.

“There are not enough facilities in regional areas to support those with mental health.

“I had days that were crippling.

“Just getting myself through the door at work each day has been my challenge.

“If I could do that, I had won.

“At times I have had to force myself to even do the simplest of things like

shopping.

“I would be so nervous and stressed but forced myself.

“Sometimes all I wanted to do was sit on the lounge; this would be the time that I would seek help online.

“Googling self-help always directs you to call Lifeline or Beyond Blue; sometimes you don't want to speak, you don't want to admit you are struggling.

“I certainly would look into an online program to seek reassurance and help.

“I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to talk about this

matter on Mental Health and the importance of self-help with online programs.”

“I just wish this was available many years ago and may have helped my journey sooner.”

My Mirror digital mental health clinic aims to deliver timely, evidence-based, cost-effective, psychological treatment to anyone, anywhere, without the need for a clinical diagnosis, referral, or waiting time, online 21 hours per day, seven days a week.

BELLINGEN Shire’s Coronavirus Pandemic Response Group (PRG) has been working hard to keep locals informed and up to date during the pandemic and more recently the lockdown for regional NSW.

By Sandra MOON

BELLINGEN Shire’s Coronavirus Pandemic Response Group (PRG) has been working hard to keep locals informed and up to

date during the pandemic and more recently the lockdown for regional NSW. Bellingen Shire Council Manager Liz Jeremy said, “Ultimately, if we continue to work together to stop the

spread of COVID-19 in our Shire, we’ll minimise the impacts this virus has on the way we live in our day to day lives and come out of this a stronger and more connected community.”

q Click on Bellingenshireconnects.com.au for more information.

The PRG is made up of support networks and representatives from Council, local medical, emergency, Chambers of Commerce and community service providers.

The Shire’s Neighbourhood Care Network, in conjunction with local volunteers, are currently re-launching the network and recruiting for additional Community Coordinator roles to ensure full operational capacity in response to COVID generally and the regional COVID-19 lockdown.

The Network Community Coordinators and volunteers will work hand in hand with

our community to coordinate local resources and establish personal support networks amongst our families, friends and neighbours to help protect the health and wellbeing of those in need.

Another arm of the PRG is the Clinical Action Group staffed by local doctors, that has also been working tirelessly to operate the Shire’s own COVID-19 Clinic to keep everyone safe and reduce the risk of transmission of the virus at one of our local medical clinics, which could result in the closure of that clinic.

Bellingen Shire’s local doctors and pharmacists

have also been administering COVID-19 vaccinations to help keep the community safe and the pharmacy has also been providing home delivery and ‘drive-through’ medicine services so people disabled by illness or injury and those self-isolating can have their prescriptions filled.

Berries Australia Welcomes Ag Visa

By Sandra MOON

BERRIES Australia has welcomed the announcement this week of an Agriculture visa by the Australian government.

The Australian Agriculture visa will be available to workers across the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sectors and provide a basis for the ongoing growth of Australia’s primary industries as they strive to reach $100 billion in value by 2030.

Peter McPherson, Chair of Berries Australia, said the announcement was positive news for the berry sector which had been struggling to find harvest workers since the borders closed due to COVID. “The $1.4 billion berry sector has a heavy reliance on manual pickers due to the soft nature of the fruit and whilst historically we have employed backpackers, a stream of dedicated workers who want to work in the sector is very welcome,” Mr McPherson said.

“It is important to remember that these workers are creating jobs for Australians not taking them away as these pickers and packers mean we can employ more locals in longer

term roles and they generate significant economic activity in regional communities.

“The Australian berry industry’s priorities are that the visa has high standards to ensure worker welfare, and that workers have flexibility to move between growing regions and follow the harvest work.”

Mr McPherson told News Of The Area, “Berries Australia is committed to the ethical treatment of workers and many of our growers have ethical sourcing programs like Fair Farms or SEDEX in place.

“We also continue to call on the government to implement a national labour hire licensing scheme.

“Berries Australia would like to thank Agriculture Minister Littleproud and Deputy Prime Minister Joyce for their commitment to the visa and we look forward to working with government to ensure that the visa meets the needs of the berry sector.”

Mr McPherson said, “We have worked closely with other industry associations such as the National Farmers’ Federation Hort Council and the Australian Fresh Produce Alliance to make the case for this visa and would like to thank them for their efforts.”

Executive Director Rachel

Mackenzie said, “Whilst the visa is welcome news it is unlikely the workers will arrive in time to alleviate worker shortages for this season.

“That said local growers have been able to take advantage of the Pacific worker scheme and these workers will have an important role in getting fruit to market this year.”

The Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management,

including the North Coast.

Everybody’s Home (EH), the national campaign against homelessness, crossreferenced SQM Research rental data with the basic hourly wage of workers in disability support, aged care, childcare, hospitality and supermarkets.

According to the EH SQM data on the North Coast, at an asking rent of $450 per week, a disability support worker on $22.30 an hour needs to

work 20.2 hours per week to make rent.

An aged care worker on $21.62 an hour needs to work 20.8 hours, a childcare worker on $21.59 also needs to work 20.8 hours, a hospitality worker on $21.19 needs to work 21.2 hours and and a supermarket checkout employee needs to work 20.7 hours to make rent payments on the North Coast.

Everybody’s Home national spokesperson

David Littleproud said the visa announcement is a huge relief to the agriculture industry that has been crying out for a secure workforce.

According to Mr Littleproud, “This visa will be extended to all ten ASEAN countries in view of our close and long standing economic ties with the region.

“The new seasonal agricultural worker visa would mirror the existing Seasonal Worker Programme and will add to the pool of workers available to work on Australian farms,” he said.

“Like the Seasonal Worker Programme, the new visa arrangement will have protections to ensure workers are protected, not

subject to exploitation and that the visa is not misused.

“Pay and conditions, health, and work and safety will also be in line with similar requirements and protections under the Seasonal Worker Programme,” said Mr Littleproud.

The Australian Workers Union (AWU) however is not convinced and states the scheme is designed to replace the flow of easily exploited workers that will be lost to the system after a new free trade deal with Britain scrapped the 88-day work requirement from British working holiday visas.

AWU National Secretary Daniel Walton said, "Johnson rightly told Morrison he needed to scrap the 88-day

Essential Workers Hit By Rental Crisis

By Sandra MOON

NEW data released to mark the start of national Homelessness Week shows that Covid essential workers in the care and services sector on the North Coast are struggling with rental payments.

New figures show rent on an apartment or unit would cost at least one third of weekly income in six out of ten geographic regions

Kate Colvin said Australia’s housing system wasn’t working for normal Australians.

“The pandemic has reminded us how critically important our carers and service workers are.

“Yet these pandemic heroes are being badly let down by the housing system and are often priced out of the communities they serve.

“Essential workers are increasingly priced out

of coastal and bush communities too.

“People with big city incomes are moving to the regions and totally warping the rental markets.

“It’s astonishing that a care or service worker simply could not afford a modest apartment in the majority of our regions,” Ms Colvin said.

“We must expand social and affordable housing.

“This will relieve the pressure on our rental market and give Australians on low and modest incomes more options.

requirement for Brits to work on Australian farms, because they were being routinely exploited and abused.

“But now David Littleproud is telling Southeast Asians to come on down for the same treatment,” he said.

"Much of the labour shortfall on farms could be made up quickly by providing Australian-standard wages and protections.

“Where there are still gaps, programs like the Pacific Labour Scheme and the Seasonal Worker Program are much better than simply opening the gates to vulnerable Southeast Asian workers without adequate rights and protections."

“All over the country, our caring and service workers simply can’t compete for rental properties.

“These are the people who got us through the pandemic.

“We must find a way to let them live close to their work,” she said.

Ms Colvin emphasised, "Expecting an exhausted aged care or supermarket worker to commute 90 minutes to and from work just to afford the rent is totally unfair and unsustainable.

“Australia can do better.”

Public consultation on the changes is open until Friday September 3.

THE Morrison Government has enacted a blanket rule that will allow child care centres to waive gap fees in regional NSW, now that the statewide lockdown has been in effect for over 8 days.

It means services will have the option to waive gap fees for more Australian families impacted by COVID-19, when they keep their children home

families are less likely to pull their children out of care altogether and services still get the government subsidy, even if children aren’t attending.

Pat Conaghan, Federal Minister for Cowper welcomed the gap fee waivers that build on the significant support being provided to businesses and families by the Commonwealth and State

during lockdowns.

The gap fee is the difference between the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) that the Government pays to a service and the remaining fee paid by the family.

Minister for Education and Youth Alan Tudge said this aligns with recent changes that allow families to use additional allowable absence days,

where child care services are in a location that has been declared a Commonwealth hotspot of more than seven days.

“Together these changes provide certainty for families.

“This will take some additional financial pressure off families who are struggling during COVID-19 lockdowns,” Minister Tudge said.

“It is also good for services because it means

governments in response to the current COVID-19 situation.

“The measures will give providers more certainty, to help them plan and keep their staff employed so business can continue as usual when the stay at home orders end,” Mr Conaghan said.

“The Morrison Government is committed to supporting families and child care services through COVID-19”.

Families experiencing a loss of income, such as casual workers or those in selfisolation, may also be eligible for extra support through the Additional Child Care Subsidy (temporary financial hardship).

The birds are back – Spring birding alert

By Andrea FERRARI

BIRD migration is bringing our feathered friends back to our region as Spring emerges, some ahead of typical timing.

Birds that left our area to spend the winter far to the north are starting to return.

Richard Jordan of Bellingen Birders told News

Of The Area, “A Rufous Fantail has already been seen at Arrawarra Headland.

“This dainty little bird migrates northwards to the islands to the north of Australia each autumn, then returns in spring. “This year we have had our first record in late July instead of its usual return in September.

“Two other migrants, the

Spectacled Monarch and the Cicadabird, are also back more than a month earlier than normal.

“Ornithologists in the northern hemisphere have noticed that climate change is causing changes in the timing of migrations.

“Maybe this is starting to happen here?”

Richard said that one of our well-known migrant birds is back right on time.

“The Rainbow Beeeaters, as colourful as their name implies, are turning up at their regular breeding

haunts, such as the grassy roadside area near the caravan park at Mylestom.

“They will soon be excavating their nesting holes in the sandy soil, which can easily be a metre deep.

“It is weird to watch these industrious birds disappearing underground.

“People, especially with dogs, can very easily interrupt this nesting program, so watch out for the birds and steer clear, and keep your dog on a lead.”

Richard noted that there

q Spectacled Monarch. Photo: Alison Bowling. are many other migrants still to arrive from their northern wintering areas.

“The Koel, that noisy bird that keeps you awake at night, belongs to the cuckoo family, most of whose members lay their eggs in other birds’ nests.

“Keep an eye out also for the Channel-billed Cuckoo,

Camp Creative postponed to 2023 AFTER eighteen months of planning, Bellingen based event Camp Creative has been postponed for a second year.

Camp Creative is a summer school event that has run every January for thirtyfive years.

Its art, music, craft, dance, and singing courses have a dedicated following across Australia.

After a positive start to the year, the progression of the Delta variant has now forced another postponement to 2023.

Camp coordinator Kristen Collier said the decision was clear.

“Sadly, it’s now a common

situation for events across NSW. We considered the challenging logistics and costs of a COVID safe Camp.

“But the primary consideration was the safety of everyone involved.

“We can’t be sure where things will be in January.

“The Delta variant is incredibly contagious.

“A single case could rip through our Camp and the Bellingen community.

“People come to Camp Creative from all over Australia.

“We also run many courses for kids and teenagers.

“Any one of them could unknowingly be carrying the

virus.

“The risk was just too high.”

Kristen said the financial risk for the community notfor-profit was also a factor.

“After two years without any income, having to cancel at the last minute would wipe us out.

“A lot of community festivals and events across regional NSW are in a similar position.

“When local events fall over, the drop in tourist numbers also affects local community businesses.

“It’s a ripple effect, and we’re sitting with fingers crossed for 2023.”

Richard suggests a lockdown distraction which the birds will welcome as the weather warms up: to set up a birdbath where you can watch the birds’ activities.

Frog death spate causing concern

By Andrea FERRARI

FROGS are sick and dying along the Coffs Coast, and it’s causing scientists concern.

All along the East Coast “reports are coming in of multiple frogs being found shrivelled and turning brown on people’s lawns,” said Southern Cross University’s Dr David Newell.

“It’s unusual to see dead frogs because most frogs are secretive in nature and decompose rapidly out of sight when they die.”

The worryingly high number of deaths is likely to be caused by a fungal pathogen - amphibian chytrid fungus - but scientists want to be certain and are calling on the community to help monitor the situation.

Coffs vet Dr Duan March from Wildlife Solutions told News Of The Area, “The concern has come to a head in the last few weeks and we’ve been collecting samples which we’re sending to SCU Lismore, where Dr David Newell’s team is doing research into what is causing it.

“We have a young champion here in Sawtell. q Dr Duan March with Ella Petrohelos at Mary Help of Christians School.

“Ella Petrohelos (9), who goes to Mary Help of Christians school, is on the ball collecting sick and injured frogs; she’s been a little trooper,” said Dr Duan.

Ella told News Of The Area, “After finding two dead green tree frogs in my yard I emailed the scientists from The Australian Museum, who are doing research on the frogs dying along our coast.

“The next day I was searching our yard for signs of any live frogs and noticed one in our drain.

“I contacted Dr Karrie Rose (Veterinary Pathologist, Australian Registry of Wildlife Health) and she asked me to put the green tree frog in a fish tank and to keep it warm and hydrated with diluted electrolyte or Gatorade.

“I was asked to document and observe the frog for 24hrs.

“He looked like he was doing well, so with the advice from Duan March we decided to release the frog where I found him.

“The next day I checked and noticed that he was gone, but found a dwarf green tree frog dead in the same location.

“This made me really worried, and I knew something was very wrong.

q A very sick frog has turned purple-grey.

“I met with Duan, and I handed over the dwarf frog for testing.

“A few weeks later we found the frog that I released resting on our lawn, very sick and weak.

“I put him in my tank, but it unfortunately passed away on our way to meet Duan.

“I have had some friends contact Mum and me with similar stories and asking for advice.”

Ella has recently made a frog hotel in her yard using PVC pipes and a plant pot in the hope for frogs to come and visit.

“Here are some things you

q

can do if you find a frog.

“Find a clean container or fish tank for the frog to feel comfortable.

“Use single-use gloves or a plastic bag to be safe when handling the frogs.

“Keep frogs warm and hydrated by spraying them with diluted electrolyte solution.

“Any dead frogs should be placed in a zip locked bag with the date and location on it and placed in the freezer.”

Once Sydney is out of lockdown the frogs will be collected by the Australian Museum.

Report sick or dead frogs

to FrogID – email: calls@ frogid.net.au, with details, images and location, if possible.

John Grant from WIRES told News Of The Area, “WIRES has received numerous calls from concerned members of the public about dead, dying and sick frogs across all species but predominantly green tree frogs.

“We are reporting all cases to the Australian Registry of Wildlife Health.”

PLANS for a $4.9m redevelopment of Coffs Harbour International Marina have been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council.

Coffs Harbour International Marina Pty Ltd is proposing to redevelop the marina at Marina Drive, Coffs Harbour.

The proposed redevelopment is planned to update the existing infrastructure within the marina to provide a modern and attractive facility that meets best practice in marina developments, and will improve safety, security and serviceability within the marina.

The site is owned by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) on behalf of the Crown.

Key components of the redevelopment proposal include: ● Removal and redevelopment of the five existing marina arms and 159 berthing areas and provision of 140 new floating berths (reduced from the existing 159) ● Decommissioning and removal of existing pile moorings on the southern

side of the marina ● Extraction of approximately 2,000 m³ of sand material and relocation onto the existing eastern harbour ‘beach area’ adjacent to Muttonbird Island or an alternative location agreed to by the DPIE ● Upgrade and provision of services to refurbished berths ● Widened and upgraded access path to amenities from the existing boardwalk ● Replacement of the existing roof to the commercial building ● Access to the marina via Marina Drive and the northern breakwall The marina currently has an existing capacity of 159 berths capable of accommodating vessels between 10 and 20 metres.

A commercial building comprising cafe and restaurant facilities, specialty shops, amenities and laundry facilities lies to the west of the marina, connected by a timber boardwalk and concrete footpath.

The marina is the only deep water, all-weather port entrance between Port Stephens and Brisbane.

The site is leased by Coffs Harbour International

Daffodil Day does it differently

By Andrea FERRARI

IF having cancer wasn’t already hard enough, COVID-19 has added a layer of additional challenges for patients.

There is the constant fear of contracting COVID-19, the isolation of no visitors with lockdown and the

continual changes to hospital protocols.

During the pandemic, Cancer Council has adapted ways to still be there for cancer patients.

During a time of increased demand, fundraising events were cancelled and with the latest lockdown, this continues.

Now in its 35th year, the iconic Daffodil Day Appeal is the latest fundraising campaign to fall victim to COVID. Lauren Fraser, Community Relations Coordinator at Cancer Council NSW told News Of The Area, “The beloved event will look a little different this year.

“Sadly, the current COVID-19 outbreak in NSW means that we can’t be out in the community this year.

“Our flagship stalls are one of the most important ways that the community

chooses to support Daffodil Day, both through donations and by purchasing fresh daffodils.

“If you are one of the wonderful people who would usually purchase fresh daffodils, we’re counting on you to show your flower power in a different way and help save Daffodil Day.” If you usually buy a bunch, donate instead by visiting www.daffodilday. com.au or calling 1300 65 65 85.

Emerald Beach author releases debut novel

By Andrea FERRARI

with an agent, New Authors Collective (NAC).

“I submitted my manuscript to their review panel and received detailed feedback; I reworked the novel and NAC presented it to a number of publishers.

“When Hawkeye picked it, they wanted another rework.

“With enough people saying there was something there, it was my decision to put in the work and further polish the novel; finishing it gave me a great sense of achievement.

“My wife Annemieke has been an enthusiastic but tough critic and she kept me motivated to keep going.”

Michel and Annemieke have been living in Emerald Beach for eight years, having bought an old cottage in the seaside town twenty years ago.

“It’s a little corner of paradise with the ocean, the bush, the unique hinterland and a very particular vibe to the population which grew from the community’s fight against the proposed sewage outfall in the early 1990s.”

Locally the book will be on sale at The Book Warehouse.

EMERALD Beach’s Michel Vimal du Monteil can now officially bear the title of published author as his debut novel is off the presses and heading for distribution.

‘Where There is a Will’, published by Hawkeye Books, is set on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and up and down the East Coast of Australia; featuring surf, secrets, revelations and personal discoveries, written in a style that builds a tension and means you just have to turn the page and find out what happens next.

Independent British reviewer Jackie Morris at Just Waving concluded her enthusiastic review with, “I can imagine this as a TV series, and it’s certainly one I would watch.”

“The process of writing is really the process of rewriting,” Michel told News Of The Area.

“My book has been a long time in the making with many iterations.”

The pivotal point from turning his writing hobby into a more serious endeavour was Michel’s chance meeting

Upskill while in lockdown THOSE out of work due to lockdown restrictions or classed as non-essential workers can use their time at home wisely with a number of free courses now available to upskill during this time.

The NSW Government has announced an additional 3000 training places for people across NSW to skill up at home during lockdown.

An extra 60 short courses are now on offer to study for free including business skills, mental health, marketing,

finance, cyber security, leadership and IT skill sets.

NSW Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the courses are an expansion of the ten free skillsets recently announced

by TAFE NSW. “We know there is great demand for training at the moment, which is why we have added additional free courses and more training places so people can come out of lockdown with skills they can take with them into the workplace,” Mr Lee said.

“The free courses are available to anyone across the State who is unable to work due to public health orders.

“We have specifically targeted those LGA’s and suburbs in lockdown and are working with local communities and industry to understand what skills are in demand and where shortages exist.”

Mr Lee said there has never been a more crucial time to upskill or reskill.

“This isn’t just about upskilling though,” he said.

“In these difficult times, the opportunities provided by these courses can have a hugely beneficial impact on the well-being of participants.”

Training will be funded through the JobTrainer program, which has already seen more than 120,000 people in NSW upskill since it was announced in October 2020.

How did you end up becoming a Trainer?

“I wanted to make a difference in the industry.

I felt there is a need for change and realized there are many things that we can improve such as how we transfer skills.

For me, the way to tackle this starts in the classroom at the early stages.”

how exciting and rewarding our industry can be.

Sometimes the Hospitality industry gets a bad rap, and it is overlooked as a second job – but setting long term goals can make it a career path for life!”

Green Thumbs Up

By Sandra MOON

TAFE NSW has developed a new course around food production to meet the growing demand of consumers to grow their own food and to consume slow food.

Coffs Harbour Education Campus’ Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation Land Management Head Teacher Jacqui Johnson said the new course, the Statement of Attainment in Growing Good Food Crops, has been established to meet

the demand for sustainable food crop growing techniques throughout the region starting from home with keen gardeners.

The fee-free course equips students to understand types of soil, controlling plant pests, how to control weeds, and operate pressurised irrigation systems.

The course comes at a time when more people are wanting to consume locally produced fruits and vegetables and to know where their food comes from.

4.7 million households are

gardening and growing some sustenance for their kitchens with their own hands.

This number has increased over the past 12 months because of COVID-19.

One of those growing their own food and studying the new course is Coffs Harbour resident Awin Binei Nohd Kadri who grew up on a small fruit farm in Malaysia.

The budding farmer also works at Costa Berry as a fruit picker.

“I fill in at Costa Berry as an Assistant Supervisor sometimes and it’s my goal to

www.newsofthearea.com.au be promoted to the position full time.

“This course is helping me build practical skills and industryspecific knowledge, so that I am a strong contender,” said Awin.

“My father grows Rambutan and Mangosteen in Malaysia.

“When I have the knowledge I can one day return to the country and teach him new skills to grow more fruits for our family,” she said.

“Learning with TAFE NSW means I’ll be equipped with skills to grow a range of foods and I can one day start my own farm.”

Supporting Australians experiencing food insecurity THE Covid-19 pandemic has seen a rapid increase in demand for Meals on Wheels services across NSW, with more clients than ever before being served each day.

With strict isolation and quarantine measures in place, a team of 14,000 volunteers and 147 local Meals on Wheels organisations covering all Local Government Areas around the State are meeting demands and widening their

doors to those requiring meals.

The organisation is now making an urgent call to support those who may be experiencing food insecurity and meet the eligibility requirements for Meals on Wheels, or can pay a retail price for meals.

“Meals on Wheels are an integral part of all local communities in NSW. “We are here to support

the nutritional needs and wellbeing of older Australians.

“We are opening our doors wider, to those who have been affected by COVID closure, and can’t get out of their homes.

“If you are aged 65 years or older (50 or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) we would like to offer our support to you.

“Please reach out to your local Meals on Wheels provider,” said Les MacDonald, CEO of Meals on Wheels NSW. Mr McDonald said

the organisation’s unique model has allowed service delivery to remain effective throughout the pandemic.

“Fortunately the Meals on Wheels model in NSW comprises of 147 locally run Meals on Wheels organisations, who, in many communities have their own production kitchens, or access to a variety of meals via external suppliers.

“This model enables us to continue to deliver, even during times of uncertainty,

q Budding farmer and TAFE student Awin Binei Nohd Kadri.

Australia’s pioneers of meal delivery.

Often, dedicated Meals on Wheels staff and volunteers are delivering more than just a meal, and the support provided each day can make a significant difference in the overall mental and physical health of our most at-risk Australians.

Please contact the local team today at Coffs Coast Meals on Wheels Inc. on 66483600 or Woolgoolga on 66542870.

as we have stringent continuity plans in place should a specific Meals on Wheels provider be impacted by events such as pandemics, bushfires and floods.

“We have the capacity to meet an increase in demand,” Les said.

Meals on Wheels meals meet the National Meal Guidelines for Ageing Australians, and are available at a subsidised cost as part of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme and Home Care Packages.

SCHOOLoftheWEEK

Casuarina Steiner School 30 YEARS ago, in 1991, Casuarina Steiner School opened the doors in its current location in Gentle Street.

This architecturally stunning school is set within beautifully landscaped grounds, nestled amongst the trees, a stones throw from the beach in Coffs Harbour.

Over the years Casuarina Steiner School has grown from its small beginnings of one main hall accommodating 3 composite classes, and is now composed of 6 primary school classrooms, two kindergarten classrooms, and a beautiful cottage for Parent & Child Group, as well as dedicated woodwork, music and learning support rooms and a well stocked library. Casuarina Steiner School is big enough for healthy single stream classes, and small enough for every child to be known and cared for by all staff.

The classrooms are large and

filled with light, which creates a beautiful space for each child to learn within. The grounds are kept pristine and the gardens always have flowers in bloom and fresh produce for the children to harvest and eat, thanks to the work of the gardener, Don, who is always ready with a cheerful smile and welcomes the children to give him a hand whether it be planting seedlings or moving dirt in wheelbarrows - a favourite activity for the older children. It is through activities such as these, as well as bushwalks for the kindergarten, and excursions and camps for the older classes that students of Casuarina learn to exist in harmony with the natural world, a practice which will become incredibly important within our children’s lifetimes. Fostering experiences such as these creates a responsibility within the children which they will then carry with them

through to adulthood.

Steiner Education is based on building human capacities, with a goal to awaken innate capacities and passions in each student that will support them to become balanced, responsible, innovative and self-aware citizens. To this end Casuarina Steiner School offers a broad and integrated curriculum.

The curriculum is arranged in “main lesson blocks” during which students are deeply immersed in a subject for two hours each day over the course of three to four weeks. This integrated approach to learning encourages students to develop a passion for each main lesson subject and allows a more holistic and nuanced

understanding of areas such as geography, world mythology and history, astronomy, mathematics, and of course the English language, just to name a few. This approach to deep teaching and learning often includes a focus on a “hands-on” approach to learning as well as taking extensive written notes and in-depth class discussions on a subject. Teachers may take the lessons outside when studying the natural world, or may include construction projects or artistic tasks, all incorporated into a teaching method which equips the child with an unrivalled understanding of the topic.

One of the many distinguishing features of Steiner education is the importance of the connection between child and teacher, as the

same teacher moves with the class right throughout primary school from class one to class six. Because of this, each teacher will be able to plan for and respond to the individual learning progression over the years and adapt each lesson to meet the needs of every child in their class. Teachers also learn which areas certain children will need a little extra support or encouragement so each child is able to reach their full potential.

Art and music are fundamental elements of Casuarina Steiner School, and make up another portion of every child’s holistic education.

Watercolour painting is introduced into the weekly routine as early as kindergarten and is a sustained practice through to the culmination of Class 6. Working with bees wax in the younger years and the introduction of clay and other mediums in the older years give the children a chance to try each art form and sometimes even develop lifelong passions. These same basic principles apply for the music program, where children in Class 1 weave their own recorder bags to keep their recorder safe and well maintained to learn on throughout the years.

The violin is introduced in Class

3 and is compulsory for a year after which the children are able to decide whether they wish to continue with the instrument in the String Ensemble. Choir lessons are given once a week in which classes come together to sing and performances are given for the whole school regularly. Each class produces an annual play, which is then performed for the school community. This allows children to explore theatre and acting as well as other aspects such as production, musical composition and costuming. The class plays are related to a topic studied during the year allowing the children to showcase their understanding and adding another level of fun to the learning process.

Community is important at Casuarina Steiner School, and seasonal celebrations such as Spring Fair and Winter Festival allow the community to come together and celebrate. On these occasions, Casuarina alumni can be seen strolling around the grounds, laughing with their teachers and enjoying fond memories of their time at the school.

So Happy 30th Birthday, Casuarina Steiner School, and may you keep educating children’s heads, hearts, and hands, and allowing the younger generations to become responsible, accomplished, and resilient for many years to come.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Provision for multiple wives JAKE belongs to a religious group that practices polygamy.

He meets and falls in love with Amy, another member of the group and they are eventually married.

A few years into their marriage, Jake has taken two more wives.

A religious wedding ceremony is held for each subsequent marriage.

Although the law does not recognize polygamy and only Jake and Amy are legally married, in the eyes of their congregation, all three women are his wives.

They all share a home together and are, for the most part, financially dependent on Jake and collectively raise their children together.

Decades later, Jake is tragically killed in an accident.

He did not have a will.

He had often stated that he didn’t believe in wills and that everything would ‘sort itself out’.

Over his life, Jake had accumulated a substantial property portfolio which was now worth over 3 million dollars.

Amy is advised by her solicitor that she, and the other wives will need to apply to the Supreme Court for a Grant of Letters of Administration.

In an Affidavit, Amy explains to the Court that, while she was Jake’s legal spouse, the other wives had been living in a de facto relationship with Jake for decades.

She goes into detail about the wedding ceremonies.

Although the ceremonies were not legally binding, they are given weight by the Court.

The Court also considers that all three wives were financially dependent on Jake, they all had children to him and they were all considered to be his spouses within their community.

The Court makes a Grant of Letters or Administration that entitles Amy and the other wives to an equal portion of Jake’s estate, which they are able to administer with the help of their solicitor.

ON seeing the offer of a green waste receptacle in the paper, we contacted the Library and picked one up.

I thought we were good with separating general rubbish, worm food/green waste, clear plastic and our recyclable goods, but when

I looked carefully at what should go where, I found I was not as good as I thought.

Now, almost nothing in general waste, worm food remains but with a lot more going in the green waste bin.

Just a suggestion neighbours, take up the offer and get one if they are still

I REFER to the story printed in your newspaper on Friday 20 August 2021, page 20, ‘Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants - application support’ and thank you for doing so.

I feel it is important that readers are

available.

Look more carefully at what goes where as explained on the brochure that comes with the bin (which fits neatly and tidily on the bench in the kitchen) and we can all do that little bit more to save our community and the planet from being buried in our waste.

Community Views Sought on Coffs Cup Part Day Public Holiday

By Coffs Harbour City Council COFFS Harbour City Council is seeking community feedback on having an annual part day local public holiday for the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup in 2022 and 2023.

This event is held on the first Thursday in August.

To continue having a local part day public holiday, Council must apply to the State Government every two years to have it declared under the Public Holidays Act

2010.

Community consultation is an important part of the application process.

Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath said that “consultation will help Council to get a clear picture of community views which we know are mixed”.

“We hope this process will highlight the benefits and concerns of the part day public holiday and encourage wide participation.”

Under the Public Holidays Act 2010, local councils are able to apply for either a ‘local public holiday’ or a ‘local event day’.

THE most attractive person in our workplace is not at all tech-savvy and so she hasn't realised that she can apply a 'touch up' filter when we have online team meetings.

For the first time ever, she is looking terrible in comparison to the rest of us.

Last week our manager asked if she was feeling unwell, and in the same conference call, he complimented me on my youthful glow.

Should I come clean or revel in it a bit longer?

Ms Claudia P. Ah, Claudia, what a delightful dilemma.

This really depends on how you have been treated in the past by Miranda.

Can I call her Miranda?

I'm imagining her as the loose-limbed and lithe muse in Picnic at Hanging Rock.

The males (and probably the females) in your workplace no doubt used to imagine Romanian panpipes as she sashayed into the office, her hair hanging provocatively and wispily around her shoulders.

They were no doubt entranced while she took the minutes with a Tim Tam crumb resting on her lips, just begging to be smoothed away by Roger from accounts.

And now, on Zoom, she looks more like frumpy Edith, particularly with her computer angled in such a way as to give the impression she has a double chin, and the fluorescent lighting from her bathroom (she's locked herself in there to get away from her husband, who is also working from home) showing up every imperfection from the rash caused by her mask to her hair roots, now letting everyone in the office know that her glossy blonde locks were from a packet.

Meanwhile, you, with your advanced computer skills have a French Polynesian virtual background that brings out your blue eyes, your flawless complexion, and your glowing tan thanks to some handy filter work.

If she is one of those annoying types that used to say things like, 'Claudia, you're looking tired today; would you like me to order you some Rise & Shine supplements?

They support your metabolism and build your immunity' then I'd let Miranda suffer until the end of lockdown (which at the rate we are going could be 2023).

However, if Miranda is actually quite lovely in personality and looks, then maybe give her the heads up in about two months - let's not rush things.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

This has been the case for all Federal and State levelled grants schemes.

It has only been the volunteer groups led by such entities as Red Cross, Salvation Army and the initial Centrelink Disaster Payment, and a number of smaller volunteer based organisations that helped any resident that suffered in those fires.

These have been highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards, John Murton, Nana Glen.

Homicide at Coffs Harbour: Trouble Begins (Part 1)

NEWS

LEARNING from home has become easier for parents and teachers of primary school students, with the introduction of guided weekly learning packs in NSW public schools and additional training for teachers.

The one-week guided learning packages are specifically designed for K–6 students and have been developed by a team of curriculum and digital education experts to ensure they are easy to navigate for students, parents and carers.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the guided learning packs are being updated weekly to help teachers keep students engaged and connected.

“The packs are easy to use and cover all the essentials for teachers and students,” Ms Mitchell said.

“They include a full week of learning activities with stage-specific video content which includes teacher guidance, open-ended activities and wellbeing checks.

“All subjects within the K-6 curriculum are addressed on a weekly basis and each day begins with a student wellbeing activity, as well as a brain break during the day and additional activities for students who finish the work early.”

Ms Mitchell said the department was also

across the Shire instead of coordinating these teams out of our Raleigh Depot to maintain social distancing and to avoid large gatherings of staff.

Our Shire engineers are also reviewing Council’s works program and re-scheduling projects that may be impacted by supply shortages of project materials and contractor and agency support personnel that are required to co-deliver these projects.

By re-scheduling projects, Council crews have been able to focus their efforts on removing and replacing the old Bielsdown River load limited timber bridge on Coramba Road and start road drainage, grader and repair works to prepare for this year’s

Friske and Matteson were old shipmates, while after 19 months of friendship, Friske considered Erikkila a ‘brother’.

They lived together in Erikkila’s hut and after meeting Erikkila, Ploog arranged to move in with them.

This allowed them to work on their own selections without having to take the time to build accommodation for themselves.

None of them appear to have married, except Friske whose family remained in Finland, waiting for him to send for them.

They kept this arrangement until 18 May, when £33 belonging to Matteson and £8 owned by Friske, kept in trunks under Matteson’s bed, went missing.

The Boat Harbour (Bellingen) police

were notified and after their arrival, accompanied by a search of the crime scene, it was revealed a screwdriver, also found under Matteson’s bed, was used to break open the trunks.

Two charges of larceny were laid against Erikkila, one each by Friske and Matteson and he was arrested on 8 June and sent to Grafton Gaol to await his trial.

In the meantime, Matteson and Friske moved to their selection while the search continued for the missing money.

The 29 June saw a major breakthrough in the case when £32 of it was found, still inside it’s baking soda tin, but hidden in a hollow log on Erikkila’s property.

Erikkila appeared in the Grafton Quarter Sessions Court on 7 August with a plea of not guilty and after a lengthy trial, he was acquitted by the jury, though more serious trouble was yet to arise.

2/50 James Small Drive, Korora Price: $599,000

LOCATED in the ever-popular residential suburb of Korora, this strata titled home is sure to suit that buyer after something a little different.

Sited at the rear of the allotment the home offers privacy from the street but opens out at the rear to a tranquil pond setting where you can watch the birdlife and water dragons laze.

The home itself has a great sized air-conditioned open plan living area, with kitchen and dining at one end and lounge area at the

other.

The living area also opens out to an undercover entertaining deck at rear with water views over the pond which teems with wildlife.

The main bedroom is generously sized with large built in mirrored wardrobes and a large ensuite.

The other two bedrooms are at the opposite end of the home and both feature built in robes.

Car accommodation is a single lock up garage with drive through accessibility.

At present there is also a small shed at the rear of the drive-thru section, but this can be removed

for full vehicular access to the backyard.

One of the

huge drawcards for this property has to be the location

There is a tenant currently in place until 17 November 2021 paying $410pw, who would certainly consider staying should that suit.

Resilient Communities Program inspires connectedness

q Community connectedness is the key to resilient residents.

By Andrea FERRARI BEING prepared in the face of a disaster is the driver for OzGREEN’s new Resilient Communities Program in Bellingen Shire, starting 7 September.

The eight sessions will be delivered online and aim to bring together the region’s residents to develop disaster plans and create more sustainable, resilient homes and communities.

“People may be feeling isolated, vulnerable and tired following the series of disasters our community has faced in recent years, and there are those who are keen to contribute to building a stronger community but not sure where to start.

“We urge you to join the conversation,” Program Manager Kathleen Hannah told News Of The Area.

The program is designed to inspire and motivate the Bellingen Shire community to work together to take positive action to address the many challenges currently faced.

Resilient Communities provides an award-winning framework for local people to talk about their emotions and voice their concerns.

It also empowers people to envision a more positive future and supports them to undertake personal and collective actions aimed at building community connectedness and resilience. “ C o m m u n i t y connectedness is key,” said

Kathleen.

“The relationships formed during our program is what drives participants to take action - we help each other to stay motivated to achieve our goals for a better world.”

Over 100 people across Bellingen Shire participated in Resilient Communities in 2020.

The program brought people together, fostering many new friendships and resulted in some inspiring community projects and resources.

The 2021 online program will run fortnightly on Tuesdays from 10am12.30pm via Zoom, starting 7 September.

“TAKE action and call your GP,” urges Coffs Harbour’s Dr Tanya Stewart, a Cardiologist at Mid North Coast Cardiac Services, as the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute launches a white paper on rising rates of undiagnosed heart valve disease.

The white paper warns and informs people that heart valve disease can go unrecognised, undiagnosed and untreated with potentially life-threatening consequences.

Heart doctors issued this public health notice in a move to help curb the country’s rising rates of undiagnosed, but easily treated, heart valve disease – malfunctioning of one or more heart valves that disrupts blood flow through the heart.

Awareness amongst the community empowers people to call their doctor.

“Heart valve disease is easily detectable by your doctor and/or a cardiologist through a physical examination, all of which is readily available at Coffs Harbour Base Hospital,” said Dr Tanya Stewart.

There’s something enticing about watching a “celebrity” version of a game show. Is it the promise of watching someone you feel like you know lose, or possibly win?

Perhaps it’s the thrill of getting to know a well-known person on another level? Whatever it is, there’s extra intrigue around this season of Celebrity Mastermind, with host Marc Fennell (pictured) grilling many wellknown names. Tonight’s premiere guests are presenter James Mathison, cabaret star Hans, actor John Wood and journalist Patricia Karvelas.

“Check your facts” or “Do your research” are worn phrases. We’re in a world of information overload, but what is true and what is as useless as a chocolate fireguard? Presenters Wil Anderson and Jan Fran (pictured) rescue us from a sea of information across news and social media with this very witty and judicious series. From the team behind Gruen, it’s a sharp and eyeopening look at the past week in news, with a panel of comedians offering their insights on the palaver and flummery.

Screening Suspended

By Sandra MOON BREASTSCREEN NSW, as part of NSW Health, has made the decision to temporarily suspend all routine breast screening services in NSW. The decision to close was made in response to the increasing risk posed by the COVID-19 Delta strain and redeploying staff to support the pandemic response at each local health district.

Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) is encouraging women to continue with their breast cancer checks despite service centres being temporarily closed across NSW. In 2020, an analysis of cancer notifications in Victoria found a 10% reduction of cancer diagnoses due to the impact of the COVID-19 restrictions, which included a temporary closure of BreastScreen Victoria services.

BCNA is concerned that a similar decline in diagnoses is likely to be seen across NSW due to the stay-at-home orders, temporary closures of some NSW screening services, and community hesitancy to respond to symptoms of concern.

Breast Cancer Network Australia’s Director of Policy and Advocacy, Vicki Durston said a focus must remain on early

detection of breast cancer and that every effort should be made to ensure people with symptoms of concern can access the services and care that they need.

“We acknowledge that every effort needs to be made to keep communities safe but breast cancer won’t wait for COVID, closing routine screening programs will delay early detection, diagnosis and potentially lifesaving treatment. “The Victorian system is still dealing with the impact of last year’s closures and the rebounding of later stage breast cancer presentations.

“BCNA is calling for a national roadmap to address the impact of COVID on these and related services.”

It is important that everyone

attend follow up appointments and all women impacted by the BreastScreen service closures should feel reassured that as soon as services can reopen that their screening will commence.

Breastscreen NSW advises if you’ve had your appointment cancelled, you will be notified by directly and as soon as possible.

Appointment rescheduling will be offered when the service re-opens.

Result letters will still be occurring and recalls for additional tests will still be

q Breast Screening is temporarily suspended in NSW.

TS Vendetta building redevelopment revealed

By Emma DARBIN

THE dated TS Vendetta building at Jetty Foreshores is set to be replaced by a landmark $3.3m Community Facility, Restaurant and Kiosk as part of State Government works at the Jetty Foreshores precinct.

The State Government has lodged plans with Coffs Harbour City Council for the demolition of the TS Vendetta building and the construction of a Community Facility, Restaurant and Kiosk (including public toilets, pathways and landscaping).

The Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Community Building at Marina Drive and Jordan Esplanade, Coffs Harbour is proposed to be two storeys comprising a community facility including a restaurant and an outdoor terrace with seating, meeting rooms and public

amenities on the upper level, and a community facility with public amenities and equipment storage (for naval cadets and other community users), a cafe or food and drink kiosk and storage space for boats and other watercraft on the ground level.

The new building will provide opportunities for new views of the Jetty Foreshores precinct’s picturesque features such as Jetty Beach, Coffs Harbour Jetty and newly created areas in the north.

Public domain and landscape works are also included as part of the development application.

The TS Vendetta building redevelopment forms part of the Jetty4Shores Revitalisation Project.

This plan was adopted

by Council in 2013, with upgrades to the TS Vendetta building to be delivered

under Stage 5 works.

Stages 2-4 were delivered in October 2017, involving the development of the foreshore market area, plaza, event space and additional car parking.

On 7 April 2021, NSW Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey announced $5 million in stimulus funding for the proposed TS Vendetta building redevelopment.

On 3 May 2021, King + Campbell was awarded the winner of a competitive design process for the proposed new building.

Development application documents state that “the redevelopment of the TS Vendetta building to provide a new community asset is recognised as a significant public benefit”.

Coffs Harbour Volleyball Association is also seeking storage space within the proposed new Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Community Building.

The new Community Facility is anticipated to become a new home for several community groups including both public and private users, and “be reflective of the local lifestyle, creating a vibrant and thriving foreshore precinct that is enhanced and activated for the benefit of the community”.

The development application also proposes to install the South Solitary Island Lighthouse Optic in a new purpose-built enclosure to exhibit the optic within the foreshore area, north of the proposed building and on axis with the Jetty.

The detail of the enclosure is still to be developed and it is anticipated to provide “security and protection for the optic, while providing

a highly visible location for telling the story of this valuable historic asset”.

Property and Development NSW will work with Council and Friends of South Solitary Island Lighthouse (FOSSIL) to finalise a resolution on the optic enclosure.

The proposed Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Community Building is expected to be fast tracked and provide an essential community facility which will enhance and modernise the Jetty Foreshores precinct.

Numerous jobs will be created through the construction stages and the food and drink premises within the new building, and the new Community Facility is expected to attract tourists and reinforce Coffs Harbour as a key tourist destination.

The current TS Vendetta building is managed by Council as a public asset and the proposed new Community Facility will continue to be managed by Council as a public asset.

SCU Coffs’ coral study breakthroughs

By Andrea FERRARI

CORAL populations have genetic potential to adapt to warming oceans, according to a new study by SCU researchers based at Coffs Harbour.

“Our previous work revealed that corals in an extreme environment have an exceptionally high heat tolerance, in part due to genetic adaptation of the coral animal,” said Dr Emily Howells, a Senior Research Fellow at the National Marine Science Centre at Southern Cross University.

“In this study we wanted to test whether we could transfer these beneficial genetic variants to a comparatively heat sensitive coral population living in milder oceanic conditions.”

The study led by Dr Howells and also involving Southern Cross University lecturer Dr David Abrego was an international collaboration

between New York University Abu Dhabi, Oregon State University, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Zayed University, CSIRO, and the University of Wollongong.

The researchers crossbred corals from the thermally extreme Persian Gulf with those of the same species from the milder Indian Ocean.

They found that heat tolerance increased by up

to 84% when Indian Ocean mothers were bred with Persian Gulf fathers and was, on average, equivalent to the heat tolerance of offspring with both parents from the Persian Gulf.

Through further on-site Indian Ocean tests, results demonstrated that corals can be selectively bred for enhanced heat tolerance using corals from populations in extreme or warmer environments which have a

“One of the most exciting results of the study was that a small number of Indian Ocean fathers produced offspring with surprisingly high heat tolerance, and these fathers had some of the same genetic variants associated with heat tolerance that were prevalent in the Persian Gulf,” said Dr

F e a t u r i n g everything from bees riding motorcycles (“Born to bee wild”) to coffee cups doing Pilates (“pi-lattes”), Dave’s art is beautifully detailed, whimsical and has become an amusing visual essay of his kids’ school lunch journeys.

According to Dave, what started out as a simple and endearing idea has morphed into a mass collection of drawings and witty puns on brown paper

of the physiological and genetic variation that exists within and among breeding populations as well as among them.

Vietnam Veterans’ Day Overshadowed

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE marble with Pat Magann’s birthday came out of the conscription barrel in 1970.

Mr Magann, and every other young Australian man who shared his birthday, and the birthdays on the other marbles that came out, were required to do National Service, with the government hoping that they would volunteer to serve in the Vietnam War. Most did volunteer, and Mr Magann, along with 70 other conscripts, went to reinforce the 2nd Battalion.

He served for ten and a half months as an infantry rifleman, which meant most of his time was spent on patrol.

The patrols lasted two to three weeks, and troops had to carry everything in packs weighing 40 to 45kg.

They were re-supplied with food and ammunition every five to seven days.

Mr Magann recalls an occasion before going on patrol when a member of a fact finding mission from Canberra attempted to pick up a pack and couldn’t - there was a particular technique to lift such a heavy pack.

Mr Magann said his patrols engaged the Viet Cong guerrillas with short, sharp contact and only once encountered the North Vietnamese Army.

More than 60,000 Australians served in the of the Battle of Long Tan. Mr Magann, who is the President of the Vietnam War, including over 15,000 National Sawtell RSL Sub-Branch, is concerned that the Servicemen, with 521 losing their lives and lockdown and recent events in Afghanistan some 3,000 being wounded, and many still took some attention away from the Day. carrying “invisible wounds”.

Since leaving the army and becoming a property valuer, Mr Magann has returned to Vietnam three times and has really enjoyed it.

Of his time as a soldier, he said, “It was the best and worst experience you could have in life.”

He said that the comradeship and discipline were the best aspects, and that the gruelling, dangerous patrols were the worst.

Like many Vietnam veterans, Mr Magann is sad about the reaction that Vietnam veterans received from the Australian public when they returned – there was no welcome home parade until 1987.

He said the Veteran Centre Mid-North Coast was established to provide help to veterans negotiating assistance from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and Legacy and a working group has been set up to increase funding for it.

Mr Magann said, “We need to keep in mind that Vietnam Veterans’ Day is important to all Vietnam veterans and needs to be recognised as such.”

Coffs Veterans Employment Help

By Sandra MOON

A NEW employment program is kicking off in NSW to help ex-serving personnel across Air Force, Navy and Army transition to civilian life.

The employment program, led by RSL LifeCare in NSW, aims to address the unique challenges veterans face when looking to enter the civilian workforce.

Securing meaningful work after a career in defence can be quite difficult.

Aside from helping veterans and their partners become job-ready, RSL LifeCare Veterans Services provides additional support to ex-serving personnel including DVA claims assistance, housing support, financial assistance and referral pathways for education.

RSL LifeCare Veteran Services GM Nicki Young spoke with News Of The Area about the program and the benefits to the Coffs

community.

“We know from research there are a couple of key factors that support veterans back into communities and one of those is employment.

“When veterans transition from the Australian Defence Force, reintegrating into a new community is one of the toughest challenges.

“Meaningful employment allows for purpose, income and connections in the community,” Ms Young said.

Without the support veterans can suffer financially and experience in the worst cases family breakdowns and homelessness.

Defence Veterans Australia has one thousand four hundred clients in the Coffs Harbour area.

Of these about eight hundred are veterans themselves and six hundred are spouses and family members.

The program is also available to them..

“It gives spouses and family members an opportunity to get job ready and secure employment too,” said Ms Young.

The service allows veterans and their family members to meet with a career counsellor to discuss their interests and what they are good at and then helps get them job market ready.

According to Ms Young, articulating defense force skills to the civilian market is a challenge for veterans.

But she adds three are lots of benefits to employers who take on a veteran as they are compliant, hard working and have great leadership skills.

“We are keen to make a difference and have a preventative focus and we can also provide financial crisis assistance and help some of the longer term issues,” she concluded..

Veterans and their families in New South Wales can access the employment program

Long has just released his first ever children’s book ‘Are You Kidding Me?’.

The book, illustrated by Kris Lillyman, has a strong focus on building children’s literacy skills and spreads a message of positivity, inclusion and being true to oneself.

Mr Long told News Of The Area he had always imagined himself writing a children’s book and when COVID came along it provided him the space and opportunity to do so.

“When COVID arrived in 2020 and we were in our first lockdown I started a YouTube channel for the kids.

“Parents and teachers were all getting on board with support - it received the best reception,” he said.

“I was able to acknowledge and showcase some of everyone’s favourite authors and illustrators.

“It made me more determined and inspired to write my own,” he said.

“I hope this book sends a message to kids to be true to themselves.

“But, don’t forget to have a laugh along the way!"

AFL North Coast home and away season review

By Aiden BURGESS

THIS year’s AFL North Coast season has been an historic one, with both the Lismore Swans and Casino Lions joining the competition for the first time.

In a year in which the AFL North Coast celebrated its 40th season, eight seniors teams from Port Macquarie to Lismore took part while a record six women’s teams played in 2021.

The Grafton Tigers women played their first season as a stand-alone club after previously combining with the Northern Beaches Blues women in 2019.

The Nambucca Valley Lions also made the step up into the seniors competition after winning last year’s reserves premiership.

With the finals series underway, what better time to look back at the 2021 home and away season.

Coffs Harbour Breakers: The all-around powerhouse club of 2021, the Breakers seniors, women’s and reserves teams all finished their seasons as minor premiers.

The three Breakers teams had just 4 losses between them all season.

The Breakers seniors’ team will look to add a third premiership to their 2017 and 2019 flags, while the women's side look for back-toback flags after their 2020 premiership.

S a w t e l l / To o r m i n a Saints: Last year’s runners up started the season slowly but were the standout team of the second half of the season, winning seven straight games heading into this year’s finals series as the seniors team finished second.

The Saints will be out to add to their record 10 AFL North Coast seniors premierships.

Lismore Swans: Made

an instant impact in their inaugural season on the North Coast with both their seniors and women’s team finishing third on the ladder, as the club now looks to make history by winning a premiership in their debut season in the AFL North Coast competition.

Port Macquarie Magpies: Took until the last game of the season to secure a finals berth, finishing fourth with a final round win against the Northern Beaches Blues.

Was one of three clubs whose seniors and women’s sides both made finals.

Northern Beaches Blues: Looked like a finals side for much of the season, but a losing run late saw them just miss out on this year's finals series.

The Blues women were the only side to beat the Coffs Harbour Breakers this season on their way to finishing second.

having not lost a game and being held to just two draws on their way to bagging 44 from an available 48 points.

The Club was recently presented with the Coastal Premier League minor premiership and are the big favourites to make it a premiership double this season.

Coffs Coast Tigers: The big improvers of 2021, having gone from 5th in 2020 to second on the ladder this season.

Have worked on their consistency issues in recent weeks on their charge up the ladder, and loom as the biggest premiership threat to the ladder leading Lions.

Boambee Bombers: The Bombers haven’t been their dominant selves like in recent seasons, as they struggled for overall continuity and putting together a run of wins.

But their premiership winning pedigree and experience has seen them qualify for another finals series and

a shot at their fourth grand final win in as many seasons.

Port United: The sleeping giant of the competition, United have gone under the radar this season and have made their way back into the top four after spending a number of weeks outside a finals position.

Northern Storm: Have spent much of their season in the top 4 or thereabouts, as they still look to clinch a late finals berth.

Have proven their best can match it with anyone as shown by their 2-2 draws with the Lions and Bombers.

Kempsey Saints: The Jekyll and Hyde team of season 2021, their best is more than competitive but their worst is subpar.

retired because my body was no good,” the 32-year-old said.

“I love the game through and through but I think the best way for me now to give back in the game or to be a part of it is to coach.”

The 2014 Clive Churchill Medallist said it was a chat with a good friend that provided the initial impetus behind him taking on the role at Coramba Sportsground.

“I’ve an aspiration to be a head coach and me and Russell (Crowe) were having a brief conversation one day and he said that there could possibly be an opportunity,” he said.

“He explained that Orara Valley had folded and it needed a bit of a catalyst to get them back up and running in good order.

“I saw the challenge or the opportunity as something where there’d be a lot of reward in terms of being back in the community, back at the grassroots level in the game.

“That is where we all start and where I fell in love with the game.

“The opportunity just outweighed everything else.

“The joy that I’ll get out of bringing what I might bring to the club and the area was something that I just couldn’t turn down.”

Orara Valley President Peter Spinks said there’s been a flurry of enthusiasm in the Valley since the bush telegraph revealed Burgess’ appointment.

“It’s exciting to have somebody of the calibre of Sam Burgess putting up his hand wanting to help the club get back on its feet,” Spinks said.

“The club really just wants to get back to enjoying footy.

“Obviously the last two seasons have been crap for everyone but we just want to get back to enjoying rugby league and seeing some smiling locals out there.”

Enjoying football is a big part of Burgess’ coaching philosophy.

“The number one thing is to have engagement.

“I spent a couple of months in Coffs prior to being stuck in this lockdown in Sydney at the moment and our highest numbers of participation were in the girls’ under-16 tag,” he explained.

“For me that’s amazing so I spent a lot of time with that team coaching there and just helping out and having fun.

“And I found that they were all just having fun and it lit the fire in my belly that the game is a fun game and that’s how I should coach it and that’s how we should play it.

“Surely I want to win too. I know that when I’m head coach everyone will be wanting to knock us off and that’s good and that’s the challenge of it but we’ll be prepared and we’ll certainly have fun along the way.”

The Axemen will be active in the recruiting market over summer but Burgess said the team won’t be one full of highprice imports.

“Predominantly I want locals.

“And the players that have played for the team and been there before want that as well,” the dual international said.

“I don’t want anyone to suggest that I’ve come in and bought a premiership.

“I’d like to win it from the ground up, that’s the ultimate goal.

“We’ll bring in some players.

“I love playing Sevens but I also love Rugby League which is the game I played growing up until the age of 22,” said Miller.

At the prime age of 27, Miller has the attributes of lightning pace, skill, strength and agility which will be an asset to any team that snaps up the Coffs Harbour product.

President of the festival, Bob Carle, provided further details of the first event.

“The Motor Show on 13 November is run by the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour City, it will be our first event of the Festival and it is growing and growing.

“We have now been able to get permission from the

management of the Show Ground to set up any displays on Friday 12 November and we will supply professional security for the night.

“Hopefully most will take advantage of this and eliminate any traffic issues from the Highway on Saturday morning.

“We are now also going to have an official opening on that day as well,” said Bob. Bob explained how the Motor Show will have something for everyone.

“The MotorBike display will be the biggest display

Fit and Firing for the Triathlon Season

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Triathlon Club have released their race calendar for the 2021/22 season and there’s something for everyone ranging from the ‘fit and firing’ to the ‘wait and see’.

Club President Shaun Lawer told News Of The Area it depends how active you’ve been in the off season.

“Usually the commencement of a new competition calendar sees participants divided into three distinct groups, with some falling somewhere between these categories.

“The ‘Fit and Firing’ group are looking at starting the season fast, mostly targeting September/October races and coming off a solid winter of improving their weaknesses.

“The ‘Steady Build’ group have done a bit of work recently, but will use the Club races as a way of working back into full fitness, often not really looking to any big races until late in the year or early next year.

“The ‘Wait and See’ group have trained very little over the off-season, preferring other pastimes, with their first event of the year likely to be their motivator to get back into a routine once they check their results post-event.

“In addition to our regular sprint and enticer distance

races, an aqua bike event (750m swim and 20km ride) has been introduced to tempt those who are not able to or dislike running,” said Shaun.

Shaun emphasised the camaraderie and social aspect of the triathlon club.

“The Club strives to be inclusive and fun and we hold regular BBQs and breakfasts throughout the season to foster team spirit and camaraderie and offer plenty of giveaways and prizes kindly provided by our sponsors.

“The Sunny Coast crew of Adam Cox, Mark and Deon Kirstein, and Chris Hamilton have been training the house down in the hope of making it to the Sunshine Coast Half Ironman in September but if it doesn’t work out will be looking to log some fast times when the season starts.

“Some of the newcomers from last season can also be expected to lift, having 12 months of training and learning under their belt.

“Look for Joe Quiring, Rhys Gilleland, Emma Barnes, and Eric Meyers to take that next step.

“At the pointy end of the field it will again be a battle between young guns Hudson Barry, Luke Williams and Harrison Colyer to unseat our fastest male last year, Isiah Koopmans.

“Hot on their heels will be that group hovering under

the 70 minute mark, in Chris Hodge, Shaun Bayndrian, Matt Moffat, Michael Singleton and Pat Brennan.

“There could be some additional names added to the list if Strava is anything to go by with solid training in the off season by Paul Herring, Mark Garner, Stephen Thompson, Peter Timothy and Peter Birch.

“We’re also looking forward to the ongoing tussle between Mel Silvester and Shannon O’Hara who constantly push each other to the top echelon of the sport.

q

November will be clear.

“The Festival finishes with the Asia Pacific final Round of their Rally Championship on Sunday 28th.

“The final rounds of the Australian, NSW, Clubman and Classic both 2wd and 4wd classes will also be finalised with a possible field of 100 plus cars,” said Bob. There will also be a contingent of local drivers spearheaded by Mal Keogh and Nathan Quinn from Coffs Harbour.

“Get out and cheer on our local competitors.

“The two big names are Mal Keogh in the 4wd Classics in his Audi and Nathan Quinn in the 2wd Classics in his Mazda RX2.

“Hopefully both local drivers will take out the Championship in their particular Classes.

“What a great finale for our Festival if we could bring home another two local Australian champions to our town,” hailed Bob.

“Alina Hill and Rachel Cleary will also be firing, with strength in all disciplines,”

said Shaun.

Big opportunities for AFL North Coast’s female players The growth of female football in the region is set to receive a big boost in regards to two recent announcements for 2022, which will help with their pathways to elite football and the overall development of female football.

By Aiden BURGESS

THE growth of female football in the region is set to receive a big boost in regards to two recent announcements for 2022, which will help with their pathways to elite football and the overall development of female football.

AFL North Coast female players have been presented with two fantastic opportunities, with the Sydney Swans being granted an AFLW licence and AFL North Coast starting a Youth Girls under 14 competition in 2022.

The Sydney Swans are one of four teams to gain entry into the AFLW for its 2022-23 season.

The Swans entry into the AFLW coincides with the club’s involvement in the recent recruiting of AFL North Coast talent.

Local players such as Phoebe Baptiste, April Devine, Poppy Johnston, and Shania King have previously been identified for the Sydney Swans Academy Top End Program.

The AFL North Coast adding a Under 14 girls competition for 2022 comes on the back of the phenomenal success of the Youth Girls Under 17 competition in 2017, and the women’s competition which is now in its fourth season after its introduction in 2018.

Northern NSW Development Lead Matt Crawley said that female participation in the AFL North Coast continued to grow following

the introduction of female competitions.

“After just five seasons of Youth Girls footy we now find that 28% of participants in our junior competition are girls, and despite the women’s competition starting a year later, 25% of participants in our senior competition are women,” he said.

“Our fastest growing demographic are girls aged 12 to 14 years so it’s time they got their own age group and chance to play in a girls only competition.

“Other regions that have already implemented the younger girls only

divisions have seen an explosion in the numbers of girls who are keen to play and we know it will be the same on the North Coast.

“A number of clubs have readymade teams so the ground work is already done.”

Further supporting the local expansion will be the introduction of a Sydney Swans team into the AFLW competition in the 2022/2023 season.

The Swans will join the competition along with the three other AFL clubs that don’t currently have a women’s team, meaning more elite content on free to air TV

across the summer months which will generate significant interest locally.

More importantly, with the North Coast being part of the Swans’ Academy zone there will be enhanced opportunities for girls to progress through the talent pathway, with the potential to go all the way to the AFLW. Crawley said the Swans had recognised the talent the AFL North Coast was producing.

“Our region has punched above its weight when it comes to producing female talent,” he said.

“Nikki Wallace, Brianna McFarlane, and Georgia Breward all started out in footy on the North Coast and each was drafted to an AFLW club.

“In the last 12 months we’ve had local girls April Devine, Shania King, Poppy Johnston, and Phoebe Baptiste in the Swans Academy Top End Program, so the Sydney Swans know that our region is a hotbed of talent.”

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.
