Mick Harrington delights Orara Valley Family Fun Day crowd FROM Page 1 safety education and taught the children how to use a fire hose.

Orara Valley Axemen Rugby League players gave lessons in tackling as the next generation of rugby league players showed their enthusiasm for the game.

Local band Pleasing George got the party started at 12 noon with some Louisiana blues and the music continued throughout the afternoon as local musicians of all ages performed at the Open Mic event.

Australian country music singer Mal Winckle entertained with his unique bush ballads and set the stage for Mick Harrington to wow the crowd.

The ‘lawnmower man’ from country Victoria captured the heart of the nation in last year’s Channel 7 hit TV program ‘The Voice’ with his big sound and heart of gold.

In the blind auditions, Mick won over celebrity judges Keith Urban, Guy Sebastian, Rita Ora and Jessica Mauboy with only four words, ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’, as all four judges turned around and fought over Mick.

Mick chose Jessica Mauboy’s team and together they made it to the finals as over 1.2 million Australians tuned in every week to watch the show.

Down to earth, Mick captured the hearts of the local crowd at the Golden Dog as he wandered around the Orara Valley Family Fun Day buying tickets for the meat raffle, talking to families and having selfies with the crowd.

When the self-taught singer hit the stage his big voice echoed through the Orara Valley to the delight of the crowd who cheered every song and didn’t want the show to end.

Members of the enthusiastic crowd left event organiser John Logan with the question, 'When is the next one?'.

“We are hoping to make this a regular event, as you can see it's very popular with the community who have come out with their full support.

“This event was made possible thanks to funding from the Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery Grants Program, which we are so grateful for.

“This is the very first Orara Valley Family Fun Day, we hope this year will be a better year and this is a great start,” said John.

Rebecca Turnbull, Captain of Coramba Rural Fire Brigade, reflected on the unprecedented bushfire season which tore through the region.

“It was an unprecedented fire season,

dry weather conditions, strong winds, no moisture, it was too dry you could say.

“Nana Glen and Glenreah were hit, Glenreah was the first to be hit and then that fire pushed through into Nana Glen.

“We started in mid August 2019 and went straight through to mid January putting out local fires and also working out of the area and across the state.

“A lot of people across a lot of regions were evacuated, people lost their homes in the fires and for the general public and ourselves it was a terrifying season.

“Today is an amazing day, the sun is out and we’ve had lots of rain so it’s a great day to celebrate,” said Rebecca.

Sea Slug Census FROM Page 1 “Despite less-than-ideal sea conditions, the fourth Coffs Coast Sea Slug Census (22-30 January) started auspiciously, with sheltered rockpools on local headlands providing a happy hunting ground.

“Finds included a new record for Australia, a small, colourful species (Hypselodoris bertschi), only previously recorded from Hawaii, Japan and French Polynesia.

locations for the Sea Slug Census (SSC).

“The three previous yearly censuses recorded 226 species, some of which were the southernmost records for the species on Australia’s east coast, most likely a result of warming ocean temperatures.

“For most people, ‘slug’ conjures up images of those sticky little pests that devastate our vegetable gardens,” said Steve.

“However, the soft, shellless body is where external similarities with sea slugs end.

“Often referred to as the butterflies of the sea, sea slugs display an amazing variety of colours and body forms making them one of the most popular, and mostphotographed, groups of marine invertebrates.

“Just like butterflies, sea

“They also have very

specific food requirements.

“In combination, these features mean they respond rapidly to changing environmental conditions and are therefore useful indicators of environmental health.

“To capitalise on this monitoring potential, the Sea Slug Census (SSC) program was launched in December 2013 at Nelson Bay, inviting community members to photographically document sea slug diversity in their own ‘blue backyard’.”

Since then, the program has spread to 12 different locations around Australia, and overseas to Vanuatu and

Indonesia.

To date 2,368 participants have recorded 765 species in more than 70 census events.

Details about how to join the event can be found on the web pages of the local organiser, the Solitary Islands Underwater Research Group.

Round Six of Building Better Regions Fund Applications Open

By Paul FOGARTY

The Coffs Harbour region has received in excess of $20 million from the first five rounds since the program’s inception and $250 million is up for grabs nationally in the current round.

C.ex Coffs International Stadium received $6 million from the Building Better Regions Fund in Round 4.

“Since the upgrade we have secured our first ever NRL premiership game, hosted two BBL fixtures (2020 and 2022) with our partners the Sydney Sixers, an A League fixture in 2021 with the Newcastle Jets, and hosted the majority of the Super W Rugby Series,” said Dan Heather, Group Leader, City Prosperity.

"A massive increase in player provisions, improved spectator comforts and premium hospitality options have been installed using fund money,” Mr Heather said.

“The upgrade helps assist ongoing input into the Coffs Harbour economy… and generate upwards of $30 million for the local economy.”

Grants in the current round are available

APPLICATIONS for round six of the Building Better Regions Fund community grants close 10 February.

With grants ranging from $5,000 to $10 million on offer the program’s aim is to fund local events and strategic regional plans as well as new or expanded local events, strategic regional plans, leadership and capability building activities in regional and remote areas.

The program is part of the Federal Government’s stated commitment to create jobs, drive economic growth and build stronger regional communities.

A spokesperson for the NSW State Department of Infrastructure said the fund had supported 1300 projects “ensuring Australia’s regions remain great places to work, live and visit”.

“These investments will create new jobs and economic opportunities while delivering infrastructure upgrades that will underpin regional Australia’s growth and prosperity,” the spokesperson said.

under two streams: the Infrastructure Projects Stream which involves the construction of new infrastructure or the upgrade or extension of existing infrastructure, and the Community Investments Stream which funds community development activities including new or expanded local events, strategic regional plans, leadership and capability building activities.

Local governments and eligible incorporated notfor-profit organisations can apply for grants to cover 50 percent or more of eligible project costs.

Don’t call 000 unless it’s an emergency IN response to the current Covid-19 climate, the Federal Government has issued a plea to the community to only call 000 in cases of an emergency.

services nationwide report significant increases in call volumes for non-emergency related matters, such as COVID information.

Federal Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said as a consequence the Triple Zero service is experiencing difficulties transferring some calls to ambulance services as its call-takers are occupied dealing with non-emergency calls.

“A considerable volume of calls do not require lifesaving emergency assistance, and could be directed to other health services for assistance. I urge people to dial Triple Zero only if there is an emergency,” Minister Fletcher said.

“Triple Zero is one of our most important services, saving countless lives every year, and it’s critical we keep that service functioning as it should.

“The assistance and

judgement of every Australian to ensure they call only when there is a genuine emergency is critical to that.”

In December 2021, Triple Zero operators answered more than 940,000 calls; 40,000 more calls than the previous year (December 2020), and over 100,000 more calls than the previous month (November 2021).

Many of these calls were from people seeking advice or assistance from ambulance services about

COVID issues that were of a non-urgent nature and could be handled elsewhere.

Those seeking advice or assistance about COVID-19 symptoms that are not serious should contact healthdirect.gov.au or call the National Coronavirus Helpline on 1800 020 080.

Telstra will be updating its Triple Zero Recorded Voice Announcement advising people seeking advice about COVID-19 to contact Health Direct and the National Coronavirus Helpline.

Covid-safe start to school COVID-SAFE measures for the start of the school year next week have been revealed, including rapid antigen testing twice a week for school teachers, staff and students and mandatory mask wearing indoors for high school students and staff.

Mask wearing will also be mandatory indoors for primary school teachers and staff and is strongly recommended for primary school students.

Vented masks and cloth masks will no longer be permitted to be worn, with surgical masks required instead, which will be available at schools.

Parents are advised to watch their child for symptoms and if their child

is unwell, even with mild symptoms, keep them home and get them tested.

The NSW Government is strongly encouraging all students and their families to get vaccinated against Covid-19, and with vaccinations for children aged 5 to 11 now open parents are encouraged to book their younger children in for a vaccination before the start of school on Tuesday 1 February.

Once eligible, all adults are also encouraged to get booster shots.

NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant stressed on Monday 24 January the importance of people getting booster vaccinations.

“My clear view is that boosters are essential,” Dr Chant said.

“I really can't stress

enough that boosters now need to be seen not as boosters but as a requirement to get that extra protection.

“People should see that third dose as essential.”

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet stated at a press conference on Monday 24 January that the State was “ready to go to open schools in a very safe way”.

All staff and students are asked to take a rapid antigen test and get a negative result before attending school at the start of Term 1.

Rapid antigen tests will be provided to all staff and students through their schools and schools will inform parents on how these kits can be collected.

For the first four weeks, students and staff should take a rapid antigen test twice a week in the morning before attending school, with test kits to continue to be supplied by schools.

COFFS Coast residents aged 18 and over who received their second Covid-19 vaccination three months ago are now eligible to receive their booster dose to increase their immunity against the virus and help protect against its spread throughout the region.

State-run vaccination clinics have begun offering COVID-19 booster vaccinations three months after people have received their second dose from Friday January 21.

The only State-run NSW Health vaccination clinic in the Coffs Harbour region is the Coffs Harbour Health Campus COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic located at Coffs Harbour Health Campus, behind Mid North Coast Cancer Institute.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said being triple vaccinated offered extra protection against the effects of the Omicron variant.

“The advice is clear – getting boosted means there’s less chance you’ll get the virus and, if you do, the effects are generally much milder,” Mr Perrottet said.

“That’s why we are offering more people the opportunity to get the booster sooner.

“I urge everyone who is eligible to get boosted to do so as soon as possible.

“This will help to protect our older population, as well as vulnerable members of the community.”

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said there are more than 40 state-run vaccination clinics spread throughout NSW, as well as mobile outreach locations that these clinics visit.

“Along with public health safety measures including wearing masks indoors, working from home where practicable, not singing and dancing and minimising the

size of gatherings in homes, the other big protection is getting a booster vaccination,” Mr Hazzard said.

“Being able to get that booster at three months after your second dose gives the opportunity to be much safer, much sooner.

“In addition to the state facilities opening at three months for boosters, individuals can still attend with their GPs or pharmacies when the Federal Government authorises them to provide boosters at three months, in due course.”

NSW Health Deputy Secretary Patient Experience and System Performance Susan Pearce, who leads the NSW Health vaccination rollout, said the change to the vaccine schedule in NSW will help people maintain a high level of protection against the COVID-19 virus.

“As we face into the challenges brought by the

Staff and students who get a positive rapid antigen test must register it at service.nsw.gov.au or on the Service NSW app and tell their school as soon as possible.

Schools will regularly communicate to parents about the presence and impact of Covid-19 in their school community, including any impacted year groups or cohorts.

If your child has no symptoms and there is a positive Covid-19 case in their class, year or other grouping they can continue to attend school in line with NSW Health advice.

Students who are household close contacts of a positive Covid-19 case must isolate at home for 7 days.

The NSW Government has informed that all learning spaces in public schools have been checked to ensure appropriate levels of ventilation, and air purifiers have been provided where needed.

Using outdoor spaces

Parents will be made aware of the risk of exposure of particular school activities and will need to give their permission for participation in extracurricular, out of school hours or off-site activities.

Schools will continue using cohort arrangements and consider staggered student drop-off and pick up times, break times,

Omicron variant, a booster dose will ensure people have increased immunity, and a lower risk of requiring hospital treatment,” Ms Pearce said.

NSW Health has delivered a total of 440,681 third/ booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines in support of the Federal Government’s

vaccine program.

NSW Health is contacting people who are registered in the NSW Health vaccination booking system with a reminder text message.

NSW Health clinics offer Pfizer or Moderna vaccines to people aged 18 years and over.

Covid-19 settings remain in place THE NSW Government will extend current restrictions for another month as the State continues to take a measured response to managing COVID-19 with a focus on a safe return to school and restarting nonurgent elective surgery as soon as possible.

Current settings will continue from Thursday, 27 January 2022 until Sunday, 28 February 2022, including: • Hospitality venues, including pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes, and nightclubs must follow the

one person per two square metre rule indoors; • Masks are required in all indoor settings (except residences).

Masks are strongly encouraged where you cannot maintain a safe distance from others; • QR code checkins are compulsory at certain premises, including hospitality venues and retail shops; • Singing and dancing is not permitted in hospitality venues, entertainment facilities, nightclubs, indoor music festivals and indoor

major recreation facilities (except for weddings, performers, instructors and students).

Premier Dominic Perrottet said rolling over these measures would continue to protect the community and our health system.

“We have always said we will respond to what is in front of us and tailor our approach as required and that is exactly what we are doing,” Mr Perrottet said.

“We are transitioning to living with COVID and we will

A NEW online survey is seeking views on how Australians living in regional, rural or remote areas access news as part of a federal parliamentary inquiry into Australia’s regional newspapers.

The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts Chair Dr Anne Webster MP said, “Over the past ten years news outlets in rural, regional and remote communities

have closed their doors which has resulted in a substantial reduction of articles covering local issues.

“It is important that we listen to our communities about what's important to them.

“This survey provides an opportunity for these communities to express their views on whether the loss of their regional voice has directly affected them.

“I encourage anyone who lives in Australia’s regional,

rural or remote areas to participate in the online survey.”

The survey is open until 11 February 2022 and takes less than 10 minutes to complete.

“The gap between your second jab and your booster is now just three months, so don’t waste time – the sooner we all get our boosters the sooner we will overcome this Omicron wave,” Mr Hazzard said.

“The NSW community has put in an extraordinary effort to get the first two doses of the COVID vaccine, making us one of the most

vaccinated populations worldwide.

“It’s now extremely important to back it in with your booster to lift your protection against the highly transmissible Omicron strain.”

Heather represents Coffs in AgShow finals

By Andrea FERRARI

HEATHER Orme, winner of AgShows NSW Young Woman competition in Coffs Harbour, will represent her home town at the Zone finals in Wee Waa on 19 February.

Here she will meet the state’s finalists and compete in the formerly-known-as Showgirl Competition, which aims to find a young female ambassador for rural NSW and the Agricultural Show movement.

The competition attracts over 300 women aged between 18-25 years of age each year and plays a

significant role in the overall development of rural youth within NSW. News Of The Area chatted with Heather to find out more about her interests and motivations.

“I have been involved in the Showgirl/Young Woman of the Year competition for five years and continue to enter because of the amazing life skills I have learnt every year that will help me progress in life, as well as the friends I have made all over the coast.

“On the judging day we all come together and walk around the show stopping

in at the different areas engaging and learning along the way.

“We then participate in the grand parade by riding in the vintage cars before finding out who is announced the winner.

“One of my biggest goals in life is to be a positive role model for the younger generation and show that you can achieve anything you want if you put your mind to it.

“Through this whole experience I feel I am able to do this.”

Heather has worked in Early Childhood for two years

and loves every minute of it.

“I have been lucky enough to experience teaching and educating ages from eighteen months to six years.

“Every day is different from the last and it is such an amazing feeling to watch and help the children grow and develop into the young people they are and be a part of their life.

“My lifestyle is very busy, I find I am always doing something from working to catching up with friends to playing sports including league tag, touch football and horse riding.

“Goals for this year are

to continue my studies and continue to save for a house in the near future.

“I would also love to have the opportunity to represent Coffs Harbour at the Sydney Royal Easter Show as a Young Woman of the Year finalist.

“I was born in Coffs Harbour and grew up on a small farm in Nana Glen.

“I was lucky enough to have attended primary school just five minutes down the road from my house at Nana Glen Public School and then went on to complete my HSC at Bishop Druitt College in Coffs.

“I have completed

my Certificate 3 in Early Childhood through a traineeship and I am hoping to continue my studies and begin my diploma in the coming months.

“Becoming a young woman in agriculture can be achieved in so many ways, most schools either have an ag program or class and/or ag farm and can also be involved in our local Coffs AgShow.

“I believe being a young woman in rural life is such an empowering thing and would encourage anyone interested to take the first step into agriculture.”

Caz for Cowper

By Andrea FERRARI

CAROLYN (Caz) Heise will stand as a community independent for the electorate of Cowper at the Federal elections this year.

Carolyn was endorsed

by Voices4Cowper (V4C) members in a voting process that closed at midday on Tuesday 25 January.

“I am thrilled to be endorsed by the Voices4Cowper to be the Independent candidate in the upcoming federal election,” Caz told News Of The Area.

“I will be Cowper’s grass roots advocate inside our Federal Parliament - which I and so many others have become disillusioned with.

“When I asked myself ‘If not me, who? And if not now, when?’ I knew my only option was to put myself forward.

q Caz Heise - “I can be the change we need and deserve for Cowper.”

The Dorrigo Show must go on

By Andrea FERRARI

DORRIGO Show Society has voted to maintain its policy of putting on “show events when there is no show” with the re-introduction of the Dorrigo Hoof and Hook Carcase Competition.

A revamped Hoof and Hook event will be held on March 7, 2022, at the Dorrigo Saleyards.

“This decision to go ahead with Hoof and Hook is the latest in a program of

show-related public events during the last two years when Covid-19 restrictions forced the cancellation of the Plateau’s annual November Show,” Dorrigo Show spokesperson Vivian Hoskins told News Of The Area.

Sally Duckett, the Dorrigo Show Society President said, “It has been more than 25 years since the last Hoof and Hook Carcase Competition, and we have announced its resumption as early as possible to give interested

participants adequate time to prepare their cattle.

“Competition details will be announced as soon as possible but we envisage it will focus on pens of three, mainly young cattle up to 300kg dressed weight,” said Sally.

The Society already has confirmed it plans to hold its next show in November of 2022, the first since 2019.

Since then the Society has staged a variety of public events aimed at maintaining interest in country shows and traditions.

The most recent, held last

“I will use my skills and experience to make this place we love to call home better and fairer for all who share it with me.

“With all of the communities of Cowper, I can be the change we need and deserve."

Her challenger for the candidacy, Julie Jamieson, had this to say after the result was announced, “I wish Caz all the best going forward, and know she has the full support of myself and my team.

“It’s great to know that local democracy has won in the end.”

The process of choosing an independent candidate was organised by Voices4Cowper (V4C).

Looking to engage a wide cross-section of the local community, V4C, a non-party political organisation run

by volunteers, embarked on a series of Kitchen Table Conversations throughout the electorate in 2020/21.

The aim was to facilitate a more meaningful connection between the people of Cowper and its parliamentary representative.

Out of these discussions a detailed report was compiled and launched on 14 November last year (2021), which highlighted the three main issues that most concern Cowper residents - climate and environment, social inequality, and transparency and integrity within the political system.

After the launch, participants then asked V4C to facilitate a process to find a passionate and communitysupported independent candidate willing to champion these issues at the upcoming

Federal election.

The search was on.

A campaign of awareness and grassroots connections, supported by Cathy McGowan, the former independent MP for Indi, identified two female candidates who declared their intention to stand.

Following the online town hall forum last Sunday 23 January, in which both candidates were invited to present, members were then able to vote for their choice.

A total of 65% of Cowper voters on the 709 subscriber V4C mailing list voted, which resulted in Caz Heise being selected as the new V4C-endorsed independent candidate for Cowper.

The involvement of Voices 4 Cowper in this selection process has now concluded.

Dual deadlines on water sharing and coast management

By Paul FOGARTY

PUBLIC feedback on the future of Coffs Harbour coastal management and water sharing proposals are being sought on two fronts through State and Local Government channels in February.

Draft replacement of the Coffs Harbour Area Water Sharing Plan Feedback on the Coffs Harbour unregulated and alluvial water sources 2022 plan - already under early fire through social media channels - closes on 27 February through the NSW State Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.

The water sharing plan, scheduled to take effect

from 1 July and subject to review every ten years, establishes rules for water management including the limit of the total volume of water that can be extracted from water sources in the Coffs Harbour area.

The community consultation period provides “opportunities for water users, stakeholders and other interested parties to learn more about the proposed changes in the draft plan”, according to a spokesperson for NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.

Issues raised during the public exhibition and feedback phase “will be considered” during the finalisation

of the plan.

Two online information webinars are scheduled for 3 and 10 February and oneon-one phone consultations with Coastal Water Planning team members are also being fielded by the Department.

Registration for the webinars, a copy of the draft plan and further information can be accessed through www.industry. nsw.gov.au/water/plansprograms/water-sharingplans/recently-on-publicexhibition/coffs-harbour.

Coastal Management Program Feedback Sought Meanwhile, Coffs Harbour City Council is seeking feedback from local

Early Childhood Grants Approved

By Paul FOGARTY

STATE Government grants of up to $10,000 have been approved for eleven Coffs Coast services to help improve participation in preschool programs for Aboriginal and low-income families.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the grants “will allow preschool students to

engage and learn in their earliest years”.

It’s the first time Multifunctional Aboriginal Children’s Services and Aboriginal Child and Family Centres have been included in this program.

State Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said the grants enable the provision of educational activities aimed at

residents and stakeholders on its Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the estuaries of Arrawarra Creek, Pipe Clay Lake and Corindi River.

Locals have until 13 February to make their views known.

A Council spokesperson said the CMP will set the long term management strategy for the estuaries to improve and maintain their environmental, social, cultural and recreational values and manage current and emerging issues.

“Now in stage 3 the CMP will identify specific options to address the various threats affecting the estuaries,” the spokesperson said.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

“The project team has developed an initial list of potential options but is actively seeking feedback from the community.”

Council says the estuaries provide a “stunning natural environment, a multitude of recreational opportunities, and are a cornerstone of the coastal lifestyle”.

“However, the estuaries are facing increasing pressures from upper catchment land usage, urban development, and climate change.”

Residents and stakeholders are being asked to provide feedback on proposed management options and suggestions for other potential management actions which could be included in the CMP. Feedback will be used

to help prioritise and rank management options.

“This process includes weighing up their various benefits and costs against multiple criteria,” the Council spokesperson said.

“We will then be able to identify the most effective, viable, and supported actions from the list.”

The result will be a condensed action list to be included in the CMP. Council says the public will have another opportunity to provide feedback on the condensed list of actions when the CMP goes to public exhibition in early-mid 2022.

There are 20 questions in the survey requiring around 30 minutes to complete.

The survey will be open until 13 February 2022.

“It supports us in collaborating with Gumbaynggirr organisations to ensure our

curriculum and practices are culturally safe and inclusive.

“We have 90 children enrolled at the centre and the grant money is used for Gumbaynggirr language study and training for our educators and staff.”

Families enjoy school holiday programs

By Andrea FERRARI

FAMILIES of all ages enjoyed Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre’s free fun school holidays activity programs.

One of the most popular activities was Rock Painting.

NSW Rocks is a statewide group bringing communities together throughout NSW through Rock Painting - Hide n Seek.

Ellen Taylor, school holidays' facilitator at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre told News Of The Area, “Families across NSW are getting involved in NSW Rocks.

“It combines both fun and enjoying nature in a creative

activity for all ages.

“The idea is to choose your rock and then paint it in your own design or even with a message on it and then hide it in spaces for others to find.

“It’s just a wonderful way to spread joy in the community,” she said.

The Lovells were one family that joined in the activities last week.

They created rocks with a range of unique shapes and designs, hiding some throughout the Community Village and taking others to a range of locations across Coffs Harbour.

Facebook’s NSWRocks community shares various ways to ‘play’ by painting a

rock, hiding a rock and then if you find a rock you can post a photo of it naming where you found it, you can then either keep it or re-hide it.

Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre’s School holiday programs were held 12-20 January and were designed to provide an opportunity for families to connect.

Activities included arts, crafts, cooking and games.

“Making use of the weather and welcoming outdoor space in the Community Village where we could was a bonus,” said Ellen.

Bishop Druitt College tops in blood donations

By Andrea FERRARI BISHOP Druitt College has taken out Lifeblood’s number one spot for school blood donor teams in the region.

The team’s donations have helped to save 219 lives locally through blood donation over the past twelve months.

Despite being impacted

by Covid-19 issues, blood donation teams across the Coffs region gave 3,645 bags of blood, or almost 40% of the blood supply needed in Coffs Harbour.

Bishop Druitt College’s Principal, Nick Johnstone said, “We’re proud to support our community through vital blood donations and we are delighted to be the region's top school donor team.”

Beth Hilton, K-12 Sport and Outdoor Education Coordinator at BDC told News Of The Area, “As a regular donor, I took on

the school promotion of donating blood/plasma as it is a worthy cause.

“BDC has been participating with blood donations for a long time.

“Our senior students used to donate as part of school life until the age for donating changed to 18.

“Donating blood doesn't take much promotion for staff to be willing to donate, we all have someone in our lives that has used this vital service.

“I share the monthly tally that Ruth (Lifeblood team member) sends out to us and our competitive spirit of being the top school does the rest.

“My Grandmother and mother as well as other family members have been making blood donations for as long as I can remember, and I encourage my children to do the same as you never know when you might need

LAST weekend’s statewide waterway safety blitz, held ahead of Australia Day on Wednesday, resulted in 88 fines and 227 official warnings for boaters and Jet Ski riders breaking the law, with a non-compliance rate of about one in 10 checked.

Nine Penalty Notices were issued with 48 Official Cautions.

NSW Maritime Executive Director, Mark Hutchings

said the good news is the vast majority of boaters and Jet Skiers across the state – about 88 percent - showed they know, understand and follow the rules which exist to keep everyone safe on NSW waterways.

“The top three types of fines issued were for either not wearing or carrying a lifejacket and expired licenses and registrations.

NSW Maritime Boating Safety Officers carried out the statewide compliance blitz up and down the coast

of NSW and inland, ahead of the Australia Day public holiday to remind people to stay safe on the water.

Mr Hutchings said in 2021 the majority of fatalities were a result of not wearing a lifejacket.

“We’ve also seen a number of injuries on our waterways as a result of propeller strike and involving rough conditions,” he said.

Mr Hutchings said with the boating season in full swing, and an ongoing rise in paddlecraft users, the focus of the campaign was to remind boaters, jet ski riders and kayakers the importance of checking the weather before heading out, the importance of wearing a lifejacket and compliance on the water including, speeding, antisocial behaviour, towing, and wash.

Education officers joined on-water officers to target boat ramps across NSW to educate boaters about onwater behaviour, lifejacket requirements, speed and vessel safety.

During last weekend, Boating Safety Officers carried out more than 2080 random safety checks from Tweed Heads on the north coast and south to the Victorian border, and along inland lakes and waterways including the entire Murray River.

9-day testing result delays to ease

By Emma DARBIN

DELAYS of up to nine days to receive Covid-19 PCR test results have been experienced by Coffs Coast residents, and NSW Health has admitted that testing capacity continues to be under pressure despite the community now being urged to undertake rapid antigen testing instead.

Coffs Coast News Of The Area was recently contacted by a local resident who was awaiting her Covid-19 PCR test result undertaken at the drive-through testing clinic at Stadium Drive, Coffs Harbour, after several days as well as

her son’s test result taken a week and a half earlier.

The Mid North Coast Local Health District has advised that testing results are taking up to nine days to be returned and have stated that residents are able to de-isolate on Day 7 following their test if they have displayed no symptoms of Covid-19 in previous days, despite not receiving a negative test result yet.

“COVID-19 testing capacity across NSW continues to be under pressure and turnaround times for results have increased due to the Omicron outbreak, record demand for testing and increased

positive cases,” a NSW Health Pathology spokesperson stated.

“NSW Health Pathology is working hard to ensure COVID-19 results are returned as soon as possible, including bringing on an additional high-throughput machine to assist.

“Local testing is prioritised for patients in Emergency Departments and hospital inpatients, as well as healthcare workers.”

To make best use of its statewide network of laboratories, NSW Health Pathology is transporting some regional samples to metropolitan laboratories

“I’m a strong believer in continual learning and development to be able to continue to bring value to everything you do.

“The opportunity to be involved in group mentoring was fantastic.

“It’s often lonely to be a business leader and it was great to have people from outside of my context who could listen and bounce back ideas.

“The actual conference itself was a buzz.

“Such incredibly intelligent, passionate, impressive women presented over two days.

“There were little ‘penny drop’ moments the whole way through.

“I also am a big fan of Andrea Clarke, founder and CEO of Future Fit, so to be able to take part in Future Proof course work led by her was fantastic.

“The world is changing, and I think with the impacts of Covid that rate of change is accelerating.

“The course work and conference couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Alice says the course has given her confidence in the way she approaches leadership, which was a big focus in the program.

“I am always striving to be the best leader I can be, I want to be a great leader, and it’s something I think you work on forever.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from some fantastic (as well as some not so fantastic) leaders in my time and along with programs like Future Women, it all adds to my toolbox of skills so that I can bring value to my team, my clients, and enjoy satisfaction that I’ve given it my best.”

Intertwined - the art of family creatives

By Andrea FERRARI

‘INTERTWINED’, the new exhibition at Urunga Art Space, invites you to have your senses stimulated as you experience the artworks.

Opening on Wednesday 26 January, the exhibition continues for two weeks.

The creators are a family affair.

Leigh and Liz are a husband-and-wife team, who exhibit together regularly both here and in France q

where they have their second home.

Joshua, who completed his Diploma of Ceramics at Coffs Harbour TAFE in 2020, is Liz's son.

All three artists live and have their studios at Raleigh.

As the name ‘Intertwined’ implies, the exhibition is an intertwining of the artworks of three family members who express their creativity in different mediums – sculpture by Leigh Morgan, painting by Liz Challis and

ceramics by Joshua Challis.

Leigh creates sensual sculptures in Huon Pine, Red Cedar and Rosewood.

They may be small decorative sculptures or large corporate pieces, often inspired by the nature and shape of the wood.

People are drawn to experience the soft, silky finish Leigh achieves with up to forty coats of French Polish.

Liz's paintings are extremely diverse.

They range from small to large and whilst the majority are acrylics, some are watercolours,” she said.

Liz also creates interesting and unusual collages.

Her colours vary from soft pastels to bold, vibrant colours and the paintings may be realistic or completely abstract.

She trained as a graphic design artist, and this sometimes influences the techniques she uses in her paintings.

Joshua is a newcomer to exhibiting.

Joshua’s work ranges from utilitarian mugs, plates

Seniors Travel Cards Up For Grabs

By Paul FOGARTY

THE NSW Regional Seniors Travel Card has been extended for two more years with eligible local seniors now able to apply for 2022.

The cards enable holders to receive $250 to help with everyday travel costs.

More than 20,000 cards were issued in the Coffs Harbour region in the first

two years of the program, injecting more than $5 million into the local economy.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the initiative had proved popular statewide with more than 690,000 cards issued across regional NSW since the program's inception in 2020.

“The Regional Seniors Travel Card was a commitment we made before

the 2019 state election,” Mr Singh said.

“I’m proud to say it’s one we have delivered on.”

Mr Singh said eligible applicants receive one $250 prepaid Visa card per year to be used for fuel, taxis, pre-booked NSW TrainLink Regional trains and coaches and select community transport services.

Deputy Premier and

Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the card ensures seniors in rural, regional and remote areas of the State are able to offset some of their costs for getting to the shops, to medical appointments, staying connected locally and with friends and family living in other parts of the State.

“The card helps ease the burden of travel costs for

eligible seniors in regional, rural and remote areas of NSW, making it easier and more affordable for them to travel,” Mr Toole said.

The card also pumps money directly into local taxi services, fuel stations, coach and train services and local economies in general, Mr Toole said.

In addition to existing criteria seniors can apply for

Innovation Opportunities For Coffs Coast Business Owners

By Andrew VIVIAN

WHILE many businesses have been hit by the fall in consumer confidence because of COVID-19, there are many opportunities for local small business owners to network and further develop their business skills in 2022.

A driving force behind business development on the Coffs Coast is the Coffs Harbour City Council’s ‘6 Degrees’ initiative.

It’s first event for the year, to be held on 23 February at 5pm at the Pier Hotel, will feature 15-year-old entrepreneur and fashion label founder, Sophie Hallam and local pet wellness guru, Sue Knight.

Fiona Barden, Coffs Harbour City Council’s Section Leader, Industry Destination Development,

said, “We like to run an event each month and allow new business owners to present their ideas and receive feedback and support from existing business owners.”

Ms Knight attended a workshop and was subsequently able to use some of 6 Degrees services to help develop her business.

Ms Hallam showcases her products along with those of other local producers at Kaleidoscope, in Coffs Central.

The Innovation Hub at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus is running a ‘Lunch Bites’ Workshops Program for its entrepreneurial members and tenants to share in their expertise, experience and business with TAFE and Southern Cross University students and the wider community

Guest speakers have the chance to create, prepare and deliver their knowledge in ways that will help grow their own business as well as offering a global community the chance to connect, learn and grow.

Lunch Bites occurs every Wednesday at 12.30pm at the Innovation Hub Coffs Coast Boardroom – or Via Zoom.

Tony Rothacker, Innovation Hub Manager, said, “We try to provide something of use to start ups and new businesses every week, and it’s also relevant for established businesses.”

He said that anyone is welcome, but regular attenders are charged a small fee.

Mr Rothacker said, “We aim to assist people to access global market opportunities using technology.”

The Alt-Collective, based in Sawtell, is continuing its ‘Local Luminaries’ events from February, in which ‘local legends’ share their challenges and triumphs in entrepreneurship.

Planning sessions and ‘Kickstart Your Side Hustle’ sessions will also feature

THE Australian Government Department of Health National Shed Development Program’s new round of grants is open for applications, closing on 25 February 2022.

Time to enrol at TAFE

By Andrea FERRARI

A TAFE NSW Coffs Coast teacher is urging locals to include creative training options in their New Year resolutions.

Sara Bowen, Head Teacher of Creative Design and Ideation, said that research in 2020 by the Australian Council for the Arts found that Australians increasingly recognise the vital role of arts and creativity in almost every aspect of their lives, from education to mental health to strengthening local economies.

“This means there is a ’win-win’ for people living on the Coffs Coast who look to a career in the creative industries,” Sara told News Of The Area.

“You can boost your creativity, your employability and your wellbeing by learning practical skills at TAFE NSW in one of the fastest growing and most dynamic employment sectors in Australia.”

Sara said the ‘NSW Creative Industries: An Economic Snapshot' found that over the past five years, employment growth in the NSW creative industries was

“Creativity is one of the traits most sought-after by employers.

“This equipment and tools have all gone towards achieving our vision, to advance the health and wellbeing of Shed members in the Coffs Coast region by

providing a safe, happy and non-judgemental environment where skilled and unskilled members of all ages and abilities can, in the company of other members pursue hobbies, pastimes and interests, learn new skills, practice and pass on old skills, learn about their own and others health and wellbeing, and by their efforts contribute to their families, friends, the shed and the broader community.”

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Parents claim repayment of loan after tragic loss DAVID and Jenny wish to purchase their first home.

They talk to their bank about obtaining finance and are informed that they will need to source additional funds to proceed.

Jenny talks to her parents, who agree to advance her $200,000 to assist with the purchase.

At settlement, David and Jenny are registered on title as joint tenants on the advice of their conveyancer.

Jenny makes a will, stating that her parents are to be paid a legacy of $200,000 from her estate.

Tragically, David and Jenny are involved in a serious car accident and are killed instantly.

Several months later, Jenny’s parents take a copy of her will to a solicitor, seeking advice regarding the $200,000.

They inform their solicitor that David was six months younger than Jenny when they passed-away.

Unfortunately, the solicitor advises them that in circumstances where there is no evidence as to which joint tenant passed-away first, the youngest joint tenant is deemed to have survived the other.

This means that because David and Jenny owned the property jointly, the property passes to David’s estate and is dealt with under his will.

David’s will leaves everything to his parents, which includes the $200,000 equity in the house.

Jenny did not own any other substantial assets.

The solicitor also advises Jenny’s parents that even if Jenny had other assets, without evidence to the contrary, the $200,000 advance to her is presumed to be a gift because it was advanced to a child, and therefore is not repayable to them as a loan.

Finally, the solicitor advises that because they were never dependent upon Jenny, they are unable to make a family provision claim against her estate, which could have allowed the Court to designate half of the property as part of Jenny’s “notional” estate.

Proper estate planning could have protected the parties.

It is also important to document loans made to children by way of a loan agreement, signed by all parties.

DEAR Jasminda,

My eldest daughter is flying the coop and I am feeling empty nest syndrome.

What is the best way to deal with it, while still encouraging her independence?

Tara G. Dear Tara,

More refugee representation!

DEAR News of the Area,

THANK you for publishing the success story of Dim Zam Cing (‘Employment Success For Dim Zam Cing’, p11, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, Friday 21 January 2022 Edition).

The letter in the same publication from Mike Griffin (p27, Opinions and Letters) drawing our attention to the book Seeking Asylum: Our Stories, published by the Asylum Seeker resource Centre is a timely reminder following the Djokovic saga that while the tennis player was isolated for a few days, innocent people were held prisoner in the same hotel where they had been for up to nine years.

Ever since the shameful Tampa affair

politicians have known that there are votes in demonising people who attempt to reach a place of safety especially if that place of safety happens to be our own country.

What does that say about us?

We need to look behind the tough guy measures and read the true accounts of detention from asylum seekers themselves.

The truth is horrifying and should be for all right thinking Australians.

Please, can we have more refugees' stories in NOTA? Regards, Margaret ENGLAND, Toormina.

No more high-rises at Park Beach DEAR News Of The Area,

I’M very concerned by the idea of more highrises at Park Beach.

Although the twin 13-storey blocks of flats proposal is only at the development application stage, I feel there’s a danger that some individuals within Council may take this application seriously, given what’s already happened regarding developments both here and around ‘the unlucky country’ over recent decades.

Like rats in a cage breeding out of control, there’s no greater example of overpopulation than stacking humans on top of humans.

Nothing’s more un-Australian than turning one’s back on an astonishing human history of sustainability over an astronomical 60,000 years or more, and embracing illogical thoughts that somehow ancient generations got it all wrong.

A horror story of mismanagement by a revolving door of politicians over the last couple of centuries now sees the great example of human infestation - Sydney - with a population now exceeding many countries (including New Zealand).

Places like the Gold and Sunshine

22 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

Coasts are gut-wrenching horror stories that defy any rational explanation.

Coffs Council needs to think about what our own, already-straining city will look like in 2100, and what it will look like in 2200, 2300, etc.

Council’s New Year’s resolution should be to immediately steer away from the brutal chartered course of unsustainability and oblivion - because perpetual growth can only ever end in tears, poverty, hunger, disease, and ultimately, extinction.

These sorts of outlandish development proposals should be ‘nipped in the bud’, once and for all. Enough is enough. Paradise should be more than just a distant memory.

Regards, Richie TASSICKER, Toormina.

THERE are so many different rites of passage we must navigate when it comes to children.

The first night they manage to sleep in their own bed.

The day they discover that Bluey on ABC is far more entertaining than their parents.

The first day of school, where some children cling to the gate, and others say they don't need a lift, they'll get on the bus, further diminishing your role, but nevertheless giving you something to gloat about on your socials: "Lucy is so independent that she caught the bus to her first day of kindergarten #proudparents #teachingthemyoung #bringingupanindependentdaughter #madeherownlunchtoo, which other parents will read, scoffing and sniggering so much they spill their morning coffee down their shirt.

Some kids are natural self-starters and others are tied to the hip.

There is no easy way to handle the transition when they first move out of home, but you can make it easier by organising a family dinner at least once a week, or meeting up near her new home for coffee, organising a few takehome meals so you're not obsolete, and relishing in the significant reduction in washing and cleaning, as well as the food bill.

If she is leaving for a good purpose, such as starting university or moving for work, then take some solace in the fact that you have done a good job to this point.

If she's leaving to hook up with someone who looks like Hando from Romper Stomper, then know that even if you have done a good job, most children go through a rebellious stage and generally come out the other end at some point, when it is your role not to gloat in an I-told-you-so way, but to help pick up the pieces.

Make sure you keep in regular contact and try not to be melodramatic when she leaves by throwing yourself around her ankles and begging her to take you with her.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

Enid Lambeth - 100 on Sunday

By Andrea FERRARI

DRUMROLL for Enid – she’s 100 years young on Sunday 30 January.

With her home at Mater Christi in Toormina currently in pandemic lockdown, the planned 100th birthday celebrations with family and close friends have been postponed.

Maggie Veness, Enid’s daughter who lives in Tasmania, has cancelled her trip but is heartened to know the milestone birthday will be celebrated.

“Enid will enjoy a very special in-house morning tea this Sunday,” Maggie told News Of The Area.

Below, Maggie shares a snapshot of her mum’s long life.

“Enid Francis Lambeth was born in Sydney on 30/01/1922.

“She has three children (one deceased), ten

grandchildren, and 14 greatgrandchildren.

“Her mother, Bertha, came from Bathurst, and was working in Sydney when she met Emil, who’d recently emigrated from Lithuania.

“They married and moved to Sutherland, NSW, and went on to have five children: Gus, Greta, Alick, Enid and Will.

“Enid was four years old when their father died of a lung disease.

“With no Government assistance back then and five mouths to feed, Bertha and her children all worked very hard to survive, with homegrown veggies, chickens and a few milking cows.

“Enid recalls delivering heavy containers of milk by foot around the streets of Sutherland every morning before school.

“Enid married Vic Lambeth.

“They made a home in Sutherland, a few blocks from

Bertha.

“The couple adopted Colleen, then Steven, and Margaret was born several years later.

“Popular budget family holidays involved long train journeys up to Blackheath to stay with close friends.

“They went on to build a house in nearby, leafy Heathcote.

“Vic had steady work at a battery factory, but to supplement that income, Enid worked from home for years, hemming endless bolts of narrow fabric on a thunderous industrial sewing machine, the fabric then cut to make handkerchiefs.

“That incessant noise would leave her suffering from tinnitus to this day.

“Following most of her married siblings, Enid and Vic moved north to sunny Sawtell around 1970.

“They lived for decades next door to the Sawtell Police

Small Halls music tour swings in

By Andrea FERRARI

TOURING musicians Juzzie Smith and Karen Lee Andrews will be performing at Coramba Hall and Toormina Community Centre on their 2022 NSW Tour.

“After five years of soldout, brilliant concerts in the Toormina and Coramba Community Halls, Festival of Small Halls absolutely covets our opportunity to return to these wonderful communities year after year," Eleanor Rigden, Producer, Woodfordia's Festival of Small Halls, told News Of The Area (NOTA).

“The community groups behind each hall are dedicated, kind and truly outstanding community organisers who put on simply brilliant shows.

“They have now rolled

out the red carpet for six international touring acts and eight exceptional homegrown acts through Festival of Small Halls, and we can’t wait to introduce Karen Lee Andrews and Juzzie Smith, to these excellent venues.

"We also partner with the Coffs Harbour City Council on these shows, who are vital enablers of access to arts and culture across the region.”

Juzzie told NOTA, “I’m really looking forward to playing in the Coffs Coast area.

“I’ve been lucky to have played at the Bellingen Global and Winter festival and the Dorrigo Bluegrass Festival.

“I really love that whole region.

“I’ll be bringing my oneman-band that has grown a few notches in quality and skill.

“If you have had the chance to see my show then expect a whole lot more.

“Vic soon scored a reputation for his skill as a Luderick fisherman, and regularly gave much of his catch away.

“Moving to a townhouse in 23rd Avenue, they both enjoyed golf, and were long time members of the Sawtell Golf Club, where Enid’s name appeared twice on the ‘Hole in One’ notice board.

“The couple were also loyal members of the Sawtell RSL Club, where many a meal and tinkle on the pokies was enjoyed.

“Enid’s brother Bill and wife Joyce founded Coffs Harbour Blinds and Awnings, and in those early days Enid helped out in their first

“A shy but friendly and popular local, Enid gave her time over many years volunteering for the ‘Pink Ladies’ at Coffs Health Campus, and later at the Anglican Op-Shop in Sawtell.

“After the passing of 86-year-old husband Vic, Enid soldiered on with her companion dog, Pippy, who was ultimately taken by cancer.

“Eventually, age-related health issues and Doctor’s orders led Enid to choose Mater Christi to reside in for her ‘Sunset Years’, where, low and behold, her lovely sister-

in-law, Joyce Jeff, has joined her in residence.

“Although Enid outlived all her siblings, remarkably, two of her sisters-in-law, Joyce and Trish Jeff, also remain as matriarchs of their families.

“Their combined ages total 288.

“Alongside the expert care received, Enid regularly attends bingo, concerts, exercise class, music appreciation, bus outings and countless other activities on offer at Mater Christi and continues to surprise everyone with her resolve to ‘keep on keeping on’.”

Dorrigo Dream at ‘Beaumist’ WHEN you think of Dorrigo, this is it.

Rolling green paddocks, productive soils, abundant and reliable water plus spectacular views across the plateau and escarpment to the Pacific Ocean.

Beaumist is approximately 70.56 hectares or 174 acres bordering the escarpment of the Great Dividing Range on the Dorrigo Plateau.

A picturesque and highly productive property of lightly undulating country with deep red basalt soils in a region renowned as some of Australia’s most productive farmland.

Standing out with excellent and ongoing pasture improvements, fertiliser history and weed management, established pastures feature kikuyu with rye plus red and white clover, the current owner advises the property consistently and comfortably runs 150 steers.

Water reliability is exceptional with an average annual rainfall of over 2

metres or 80 inches.

This is complemented by three large dams plus multiple permanent springs which form the headwaters of the Bielsdown River.

Even in the recent drier years water was not an issue.

Fencing is in good condition with large portions replaced in recent years subdividing the property into 7 main paddocks plus smaller holding and horse paddocks.

Timber and steel yards featuring a covered vet crush adjoin the decommissioned dairy complemented by a large lockable machinery shed, both with power and concrete floors.

The three bedroom plus study, brick home features polished floors, a covered carport, two toilets and new roof.

Prior to being listed for sale it was rented at $450 per week.

Should the new owners choose to rebuild, amazing potential building sites

exist with views across the farm, escarpment and to the Pacific Ocean (subject to

council approval).

A truly unique property that encapsulates all the

best features of Dorrigo, this is your best chance to secure this fantastic

opportunity.

JOJO RABBIT

7FLIX, 8.30pm

In a quirky satire based on Christine Leunens’s 2008 bestseller Caging Skies, Roman Griffin Davis plays Jojo, a lonely young boy growing up 1940s Germany who finds out his mother (Scarlett Johansson, pictured) is hiding a teenage Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. After befriending the girl, Jojo, a member of the Hitler Youth, starts to question his beliefs and blind nationalism. Despite the dark subject matter, Jojo Rabbit is an optimistic comedy that attempts to combat hate with hope.

The clever thing about this show is the way the creators can cycle through lead actors relatively regularly after their character’s stint on the remote Caribbean island of Saint Marie is done. The regular refresh brings potential for new fans as the show is revamped.

Now in its 10th season (and fourth detective inspector), the team – now led by DI Neville (Ralf Little, pictured) – work to solve the disproportionate amount of murder and mayhem that seems to plague this idyllic island. Tonight, the team is baffled when an archaeologist is poisoned during a dig and no evidence is uncovered to prove how it was done.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT

NBN, 7.30pm

Here we go again with the ninth season of this addictive charade involving pretend marriages, fame-hungry and/ or plastic surgeryobsessed contestants and a highly optimistic chance at love. In past seasons, there have been a whirlwind of fights, affairs, outbursts and jaw-dropping behaviour overshadowing any tales of everlasting love, and that’s what makes Married At First Sight such a foamy and foolish cocktail; it’s frankly hard to resist.

Guided by relationship “experts” John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla (pictured), the brides and grooms include 28-year-old DJ Jack Millar, Melbourne florist Jessica Seracino and American-born personal trainer Andrew Davis.

Nana Glen Health Project offers activities for happy families

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Health Project in Nana Glen has launched a ladies swim squad on Monday nights supported by a grant from Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) and Aaryan Smith Naturopathy.

“The aim is for ladies/ mums to have time for themselves, to engage in physical activity while under the guidance of Coach Sue, plus have a laugh with each other,” Lindsay Mamone, Nana Glen Health Project organiser told News Of The Area.

A Health Project program for dads that Lindsay runs through Nana Glen Primary School is the Fathering Project.

“This national group

is aimed at Dads spending more memorable moments with their kids plus allowing other dads to engage with each other and talk about the roller coaster of Fatherhood.

With another grant from CHCC, The Fathering Project launched in 2021 with a couple of initiatives run by local dads which were a huge success, raising laughs and fun amongst the community.

“Taking us through Covid times we ran Cooking with Pizza Vino and Dance Parties with DJ Acoustic Shadow, through Zoom.

“This year, we have our first Dads and Kids Camping adventure in Term 1.

“A chance for dads to mingle with each other, plus spending the night outdoors with their kids.

q Nana Glen’s Fathering Project empowers dads to make memorable moments with their kids.

“Towards the end of Term 1 we will hit the beach and Surf with a Kid and Dads Surf Lesson with Darryn and his team at Solitary Island Surf School in Woolgoolga.

“This idea allows kids to learn some surf skills plus have a laugh with each other while dads and father figures get to make memories with their kids.

“Term 2 we are working alongside Woodseys Wheels and the Woolgoolga Mountain Bike Club, to hold a family event.

“This activity is aimed at learning the skills to maintain bikes, plus an introduction to the Woolgoolga bike tracks that are offered in the picturesque Wedding Bells State Forest.”

Push To Get Bicycles On Regional Trains

By Andrew VIVIAN 120 YEARS ago, Victorians could wheel their bicycles onto a train in Melbourne and get off at a country station for a bicycle tour.

However, according to Tim Coen, who has set up the ‘Bikes on NSW Trainlink’ Facebook page, restrictive NSW train rules prevent this happening in NSW. He says that bicycles taken on regional trains in NSW have to be boxed and boxes can be no heavier than 20kgs.

This precludes most E-bikes, which usually weigh more than 20kgs, and means that cyclists must dismantle and box their bikes, then reassemble them at their destination and then dispose of the box.

Mr Coen says that cycling to the train station and rolling your bicycle onto the train

then simply rolling it off at the other end will encourage much greater use of regional trains among all cyclists and attract more visitors.

His Facebook page is urging people to write to relevant ministers and their local State Members of Parliament to include roll-on bike spaces on regional trains which are currently being designed.

He estimates that the design of the new carriages should allow space for about twelve unboxed bicycles and e-bikes that are rolled on and rolled off.

Even more space for bikes would encourage Bicycle User Groups (BUGs) and cycle clubs to go touring as a group, which, Mr Coen says, has a range of obvious advantages.

Marion Beer, Secretary of the Coffs Harbour BUGs, agrees, and urges local cyclists to look at the Facebook page.

completed a video of dad’s reading books.

This initiative sees local dads in front of the camera, reading kids story books.

These videos are then shown in the kids’ classrooms.

“Studies have shown the positive male and father involvement in education benefits their child’s grades.

“Now in 2022 I’m looking forward to seeing the impact of the initiatives brought into

the community of Nana Glen and surrounds and what opportunities arise from them.

“I like hearing the positive feedback, hearing from people who are motivated to focus on their own well-being plus hearing the comments from excited dads who get to spend more time making memories with their kids,” said Lindsay.

“Things can be tough.

“But you’re worth it.

“Struggles can be hard, but don’t do it alone.

“People want to help, connect and enjoy life.

“Your potential is endless and like I said, you’re worth it,” added Lindsay.

regional fleet is introduced in 2023.

“As part of this review process, concept testing is being carried out regarding the feasibility and viability of taking and storing bicycles

Coffs Harbour’s best junior basketballers compete at Development League in Penrith

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour’s best junior basketballers have spent their school holidays improving their skills in the best junior development league in NSW. The Coffs Harbour Basketball Association players took part in the Basketball NSW Development League events held in Penrith over a number of weekends this month.

The Coffs Harbour players were selected at trials held in 2021 and showcased their skills in Penrith.

Coffs Harbour Basketball Association also had its own coaches take part in the event.

Elliot Platter, Andrew Williams, Felicity Cook and Justin Baldwin participated in coach education throughout the tournament with group discussions and a coaches clinics put on by Basketball NSW, while also coaching their own team in the event.

q Coffs Harbour Basketball Association’s players and coaches attend a Basketball NSW Development League event in Penrith.

Basketball Association coach Felicity Cook explained to News Of The Area the concept of the Development League event.

“Top prospects in NSW in their age groups (20 players) are selected from country areas, and 20 players in each age group from metro areas and they play a tournament,” she said.

“The focus is not about winning, but rather working on new skills and understanding of the game and playing hard.

“Players will play with people they may not have played with before and have coaches and instructions they may not have had before as well, and it's important they take on all feedback and try to apply it to their game.”

Cook was proud of the way the Coffs Harbour players competed in Penrith.

“Lots of players haven’t played at this high level in quite some time due to the pandemic putting stops to a variety of state

wide competitions, so it was great to see players challenging each other and putting their best foot forward,” she said.

“The only way to get better is to play against the

best and to play hard.

“Our Coffs Harbour Basketball Association athletes should be proud of the way they competed and represented on and off the court.”

Australia, Miller weighed up his options and at the prime age of 27 he chose to return to Rugby League, the game he played growing up in Coffs Harbour.

Following a conversation with Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon, Miller promptly signed a two year deal with the Sharks and moved with his young family to the Shire.

Last week Miller spoke to Sharks media about the code change.

“I grew up playing Rugby League, went to Union for a bit and now I am back here playing League at the Sharks.

“I spent most of my juniors up until the age of 22 playing League and really loved it, it was a passion of mine.and I always wanted to stay in League but the opportunity to go to Sevens was probably too hard to pass up and was fortunate to be there for four or five years and travel the world and get to go to the Olympic games, but I’m very excited to be here in the Shire back in League where the heart lies.

“Going to the Olympics was definitely a highlight in my life so far, it was a bit weird with no crowds but it was definitely an experience I will never forget and something I will cherish forever.

“The decision to come to

League was pretty easy in the end, I was fortunate enough to go to Sevens but my heart definitely lies in League and i grew up playing it and watching it and really excited to back in it and the Sharks was I had a little conversation with Fitzy (Craig Fitzgibbon) and pretty much from the ‘hello’ I knew he was the coach for me and this club was definitely the club I wanted to come to,” said Miller.

The Cronulla Sharks will be returning to Coffs Harbour in June in their NRL match against the Gold Coast Titans.

After a successful Sevens career, Miller’s focus is getting game time for his new club.

“I have never played at the NRL level so getting back up to scratch with all the numbers and running the team around and stuff has been tough but I’ve really enjoyed it.

“This year I want to focus on finding my feet, getting some game time.

“Position wise maybe as a running half or full back and I’ve played some hooker so maybe a utility role, yeah any of them, I’ll be happy to play anywhere,” said Miller.

The Cronulla Sharks return to Coffs Harbour on Saturday 18 June 2022 to face the Gold Titans where Miller’s home crowd will be cheering him on.

North Coast Football Call Out For More Referees

By David WIGLEY

NORTH Coast Football (NCF) put out a call for more referees to cater for the increasing growth of football on the Coffs Coast.

NCF anticipates football’s popularity will grow further with interest generated by the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and NZ and the opening of the synthetic pitches in Coffs Harbour for six-a-side football.

In a record year for player numbers in 2021 where over 5,000 players turned out in approximately 160 matches each weekend, 90 of which required a referee and sideline officials.

The North Coast has around 70 active referees who

officiate in multiple matches each week and are seeking to bolster the numbers with training courses in February.

NCF is planning to commence mid-week six-aside competitions at the new $12 million synthetic fields at Coffs Sport and Leisure Park in April, matches will occur several nights a week and require referees.

NCF General Manager Andrew Woodward explained some of the financial and personal benefits of becoming a referee.

“Referees can earn anywhere between $25 and $113 a match, and this is tax-free as the government classifies it as a hobby.

“Refereeing is a great way to get into the game or keep

involved after finishing as a player.

“A referee is in the centre of the action and critical to the success of matches and the game of football as a whole.

“We’ll provide referees with ongoing training and mentoring to ensure they have the support they need to have fun and be successful.

“It’s also a great way to make some extra cash as we’ll be offering football all year round on more than just weekends.

“Good referees are critical to the success of football, and we have lots of great opportunities for both young and older match officials in the years ahead,” said Woodward.

Courses for referees in

Running Festival back with new Director THE much loved Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour Running Festival is back for 2022.

Taking place on 11 September, it will be a big celebration of all things running this year for the longawaited tenth year of the event.

The tenth year will see the return of the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour as the chief organiser and Bendigo Bank as the main naming sponsor.

All sponsors have

committed to the event again with most of them being part of the event since the beginning.

All courses will feature the same fantastic trails around Coffs Creek that runners have come to love each year.

But not all things will stay the same.

Local Keelan Birch will be stepping up to take over from veteran Mick Maley as Race Director, adding an injection of youth and enthusiasm into the team of organisers.

"After over ten years of running the show, I'm looking forward to handing over the

reins," said Mick.

"I consider myself extremely lucky to have been part of organising this great event and without the generosity of the community, this event would not have become a major event for Coffs Harbour.

“I am confident that Keelan and the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour will continue to grow the Running Festival into a first class event for the Coffs Harbour region."

While Mick deserves a well-earned retirement, Keelan is looking forward to organising a number of new additions for 2022.

Coffs Harbour’s best junior cricketers to play in inter-district grand finals By: Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour’s best junior cricketers are set to represent their region this weekend as they play off in grand finals against Valleys Cricket teams.

Coffs Harbour’s under 16s and under 14s representative teams are scheduled to play their North Coast Cricket

Council’s inter-district grand finals this weekend in Coffs Harbour and Macksville Coffs Harbour’s under 16s team play host to Valleys Cricket in their grand final at Fitzroy Oval, while the Coffs Harbour under 14s travel to Macksville to take on Valleys Cricket in their grand final at Phillip Hughes Oval.

The Coffs Harbour under 16s finished their representative season on top of the ladder winning all of their matches, including the last time they played Valleys Cricket during Round 1 in November.

The Coffs Harbour under 14s face a Valleys Cricket team who finished on top of the ladder, in their grand final at Macksville.

Formerly known as The Australian Ladies Classic - Bonville, the event traditionally attracts a field of some of the best women’s players in the world.

Australia’s Stephanie Kyriacou won the event as an amateur in 2020, and has since gone on to win a second title on the Ladies European Tour whilst also earning her card for this year's LPGA Tour season.

Fellow Australian Hannah Green finished runner-up at Bonville in 2019, and would go on to win her first major later that year taking out the Women’s PGA Championship after leading

the event from start to finish.

Chief Operating Officer - Golf NSW, Graeme Phillipson, said the Bonville event provided an opportunity for future stars of the women’s game to launch their careers.

“You have to look no further than the astounding results of the 2020 champion at Bonville, Steph Kyriacou, and where she has gone in the sport in such a short space of time, to realise what an opportunity these events are for our games' brightest up-and-coming talent,” he said.

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area Urunga Bowls

By Pamela WATSON HEAVY rain looked like making the club fours finals for both the ladies and men but after a couple of heavy falls all went out to get on with the game ahead.

The ladies team consisted of a talented Leanne Reid, Bev Cloake- who is not flustered by the state of the green, wet or dry, and the talent of two very experienced players, Helen Hoffman and Lynne Tarrant.

It was known from the start that the very new team of Judi Rowe, Jean Dew, Pammy Watson and Wendy Hodges would find it difficult but they had fought hard for their turn in the finals and although the wind and changing green didn't help they were just happy to be privileged to play against such talent.

Congratulations team Lynne a well deserved win with taking on a couple of different players and giving them the chance to feel the excitement of winning.

The men's game was a totally different game.

They fought hard right down to the last point, amazing talent in both teams making it anyone's final.

In the end with just one point between them we congratulate Eric Whittaker, Craig Simpson, Beau Bracken and Dave Miles.

Sadly there can only be one winning team as Brett Sinnott, Aaron Chojniki, John Bradley and Josh Shearim certainly played a great game.

Urunga is very fortunate to have some up and coming bowlers get close to deserve a spot as a major, well done everyone.

Mokotupu to Coach Marlins!

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 44

Reds.

“We’re pretty lucky Beau and his young family have moved to Coffs Harbour and chose to play for the Marlins and join the coaching team.

“Beau was phenomenal at the recent North Coast Rugby 7s tournament that we won, he also made the North Coast 7s dream team.

“He’s in excellent physical condition and has been training the house down.

“We bumped into each other whilst training at the Jetty about four years ago, we’re both pretty obsessive with our training which is probably why we get on so well.

“My career has been in the forwards and Beau’s career has been in the backs so having him on board I think is the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle in regards to taking the team and club up a level.

“Beau has incredible knowledge of the game, he spent ten years in the Brumbies coaching system so the juniors and seniors at the Marlins will benefit from that vast knowledge.

“He’s already having a heavy influence on myself personally, keeping me accountable and brainstorming ideas on training and playing tactics as seen in our form at the North Coast 7s” The Marlins had a triumphant 2021 winning the North Coast Rugby 7s and finishing in the top two in most competition grades.

Gilbert is hoping to go one step further in 2022 with his old Super Rugby mate on board.

“We had a really good 2021, we didn’t get to play finals because of Covid but we finished in the top two in the 14s, womens reserve grade and first grade.

“There’s a lot of really good teams out there and we are really looking forward to the competition.

“Grafton have joined the competition and are very strong, Hastings are tough to beat, the Snappers, Bowraville and Kempsey Cannonballs all very strong so it’s going to be a great competition.

“We are delighted with our new home ground at the Coffs Harbour Sports and Leisure Park, the facilities are fantastic and it’s a great incentive to shoot for finals football at our home ground,” said Gilbert.
