“From what we’ve heard, Coffs Harbour and the Mid North Coast have embraced the game, there will be a big crowd and we look forward to getting up there and trying to build on the win we had on Friday against the Dragons.

“After our win we will head into the game with some renewed confidence and with the Titans travelling well this year I can see it being a tough and entertaining game,” said Graham.

The Titans defeated the Bulldogs 30-20 last Saturday at Cbus Super Stadium and will welcome back the fire power of crowd favourite David Fifita who returns to Coffs Harbour following a two match suspension.

to Cbus Super Stadium throughout the season,” said Mitchell.

Section Leader for Stadium and Major Events at Coffs Harbour City Council, Daniel Heather is delighted with the public response.

“Ticket sales are over 7,500 which means all of the seats in the grandstand are sold out,” Daniel said.

“The stadium is not quite at maximum capacity because general admission tickets sales are determined by the two square metre rule, which means the supporters in general admission will get a good view of the game.

“It’s been a lot of work in the making and we are delighted to bring a competitive NRL match to the community, a game like this has a broad appeal not just to rugby league fans but the broader community.

“Coffs Harbour’s reputation as a sports venue continues to grow and the feedback we’ve received from the athletes and sporting bodies has been very good. We hosted the Oztag State Cup a couple of weeks ago which brought in an estimated three to four million dollars into the local economy, so the benefits of staging major events is very good,” said Daniel.

The match kicks off on Sunday 30 May at 2pm at C.ex International Stadium and is televised live on Fox Sports.

75 Years for Brown and Hurley

By Sandra MOON THIRD generation Chief Executive Officer Paul Hurley of the Brown and Hurley Truck Group Inc invites everyone to help Brown and Hurley celebrate its 75th year by coming to their Coffs Harbour Open Day on June 5.

At the event locals can expect to get up close to a variety of trucks and learn about the history behind the trucking industry icon and its motto ‘Principles Before Profit’.

The Open Day will be

a fun family environment with entertainment and giveaways, and a chance to check out the quality finishes in products such as KENWORTH’s K200, T610 and the T360 and the DAF Euro 6 model.

Mr Hurley said, “We deliver forty percent of trucks that go into the Coffs Harbour region so that relates to products available on shelves such as at supermarkets and in hardware shops.”

The company has also been historical employers of three major trade apprenticeships locally.

“We employ

approximately a dozen apprentices including three new apprentices a year in Coffs Harbour as boilermakers, auto electricians and diesel mechanics,” he said.

Graham Sebbens, Dealer Principal and Branch Manager of Brown and Hurley Coffs Harbour, spoke to News Of The Area about the importance of the company’s motto, ‘Principles Before Profit’, to him and his staff.

“It is a statement all our staff believe in and use everyday and is the way we conduct ourselves and do business.

Contentious Council debate over disposal of Cultural and Civic Space soil A REPORT on the disposal of acid sulfate soils from the Cultural and Civic Space site in Gordon Street, Coffs Harbour, will be undertaken

by Coffs Harbour City Council following community concern over the soil being disposed of at Sawtell and councillor concern over the increased cost of hauling it to Queensland.

Cr Sally Townley called on Council to conduct a detailed and comprehensive report on the matter at an Extraordinary Meeting of Council on Thursday 20 May. Around 13,000 to 14,000 cubic metres of soil is to be removed from the site.

Council had originally planned to treat the acid sulfate soil at the Sawtell Treatment Plant, but now intends to transport it to Queensland for treatment at a higher cost.

“On February 25th when we were in the Chamber on the eve of signing the lump sum contract for the Cultural and Civic Space we were told that the material was going to go to Sawtell,” Cr Townley stated.

“So I was very surprised when just a few weeks later it came out that wasn’t the plan; that site wasn’t available.

“At what point did we know that?”

Cr Keith Rhoades stood up for the community of Sawtell at the meeting who he said did not want the soil disposed of at Sawtell.

“I want an assurance from Council that based on the community reaction when they found out that it was to be dumped at Sawtell, that it’s not the case,” Cr Rhoades stated.

also the Sawtell Treatment Plant site; they were the two major sites,” a Council Director stated.

Cr Rhoades expressed concern over the two major sites that were considered to dump the soil at.

“Aren’t we aware that there are waterways adjacent to both of those sites?” Cr Rhoades asked.

“Beautiful Boambee Creek adjacent to the Airport site; you’ve got waterways and creekways and tributaries with the old Sawtell site as well.

“I still believe there is an attempt here to dump the majority of this 28,000 tonnes on the community of Sawtell who have clearly expressed their desire that they don’t want it; none of our community or villages want it.”

Cr Tegan Swan called on the Council report to detail the discovery of acid sulfate soil on the site, how Council notified the community about this and made a decision on what to do with the soil, how Council became aware of the need to change this decision about the soil’s disposal, what other options Council considered and how it determined that removal of the soil to Queensland was the best option.

“For clarity, transparency and everything else,” Cr Swan said.

Cr John Arkan, however, took the opportunity to use the motion to change Council’s current position of support for the Cultural and Civic Space project.

“We’re going to get all this information and not change our position?” Cr Arkan asked.

“What are we getting all this information for if we’re not going to take some type of action?”

Council staff stated the Council had now signed a contract to dump the soil in Queensland, and it was still Council’s intent to “follow that through”.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight, however, said Council had not received any submissions from Sawtell residents objecting to the disposal of the soil at Sawtell.

Cr Rhoades asked if Council had called for submissions from the public regarding the dumping of soil at Sawtell, to which the reply was “no”.

“Well then it doesn’t surprise me that we didn’t get any (submissions), if we didn’t ask for them,” Cr Rhoades stated.

Cr Rhoades also questioned the current practice of removal of acid sulfate soil from the Cultural and Civic Space site.

“There is dirt from the exit of the site right down to the corner of the medical centre; that is being picked up by car tyres and transmitted elsewhere,” Cr Rhoades stated.

“Here we are, and we know the effects of acid sulfate soils, and it’s being transported from the site and immediately it hits Gordon Street.

“It’s not only the transportation by cars, people are walking over it at the pedestrian crossing as well.”

A Council Director stated that he would ask the Project Lead to make sure that the “right practices were being followed” in regards to the soil’s disposal.

Cr Paul Amos questioned Council over what other options were explored before Council started sending the soil to Queensland for treatment at a cost of $1.5 million dollars.

“The Airport was an early site that was explored and

Cr Arkan attempted to alter the wording of Cr Townley’s motion to enable Council to “reconsider the adopted position” of Council on the Cultural and Civic Space project after receiving the upcoming Council report.

“It makes sense now councillors, let’s get the information, let’s spend the time and ask what went wrong, and why it happened, and if that has an impact on the project we will reconsider it,” Cr Arkan said.

“Who knows what that might bring.”

Cr Townley called a point of order to Cr Arkan’s motion changes at the meeting.

“The decision to spend the money has already been made, now we’re seeing an amendment which is extensively proposing to effectively chuck out an $80 million dollar project which is all approved, which they’re digging right now in case you hadn’t noticed,” Cr Townley exclaimed.

“Are you seriously saying that we use this as a vehicle to amend this motion to reconsider the status of this project, you’ve got to be kidding!”

Mayor Denise Knight ruled that Cr Arkan’s amendment was a direct negative of the motion and took the amendment off the table, despite Cr Arkan arguing the legitimacy of her ruling.

“It is my ruling that it is a negative and I have taken it off,” Cr Knight stated.

Mayor Knight then directed Cr Arkan to sit down and said “I have taken it (the amendment) off, thankyou”.

Cr Townley summarised the contentious debate by saying she just wanted to receive a public explanation on the issue.

“I am a little bit stunned that what I thought was a fairly straightforward motion has gone off on so many tangents,” Cr Townley said.

“The point is just why have we gone for two years thinking this and then after the contract’s signed that hasn’t happened.

“I’m a bit surprised that someone can even consider not voting for a public explanation.”

Making hospital stays a little happier

By Andrea FERRARI

VOLUNTEERS are back in action across the Mid North Coast Local Health District, post strict COVID protocols, doing the little things that matter a lot when you’re in hospital.

Helen Mears, president of the Coffs Harbour Pink Ladies who volunteers many of her hours every day in the Coffs Hospital gift shop told News Of The Area, “I just love the shop, and I love the people who come in and I love all the staff.

“I’d like to get the trolley back up and running around the wards – it’s the tiny things that make the difference to someone’s

day.

“It’s the best job,” smiled Helen.

Helen started volunteering when her daughter went to preschool, 42 years ago, working with The Pink Ladies organisation.

“I started in the old hospital in Victoria Street, visiting patients in the wards doing their flowers and purchasing personal items like soap or tissues for them,” said Helen.

“Then we got the trolley and could wheel that around the wards which was easier.”

Next step was opening the coffee shop under the hospital where they made sandwiches and served hot and cold drinks.

Today, in the new hospital, that coffee shop has grown to a new much bigger site and the gift shop is also thriving.

The Mid North Coast Local Health District has about 600 volunteers helping patients and staff at seven hospitals and several community health centres in the region.

“They provide thousands of volunteer hours each year in support of patients and their families and raise tens of thousands of dollars to purchase medical equipment and patient comfort items,” Sharon Fuller, Corporate Relations Coordinator, Mid North Coast Local Health District told News Of The Area.

On the night, attendees will be able to sample the signature drinks of each of

the breweries and distilleries while hearing from the creators about the journey that inspired their business and drives its growth today.

The orchestra is busy preparing a diverse program of music for the young and young-at-heart with music themes ranging from pirates to dragons, dinosaurs to fairies.

“The concert will be a fabulous way for everyone, no matter what age, to come

The orchestra has expanded over the last year growing to more than 50 members aged 15 to 86, combining the youthful exuberance of our younger players with the experience and guidance of the older musicians, say the organisers.

Mobile zoo visits Dolphin Park

By Sandra MOON

AUSTRALIA’S largest mobile wildlife hospital finished up its regional tour of biodiversity hotspots in Coffs Harbour last week stopping at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park.

The aim of the tour was to engage wildlife carers, vets, community organisations and the public to raise awareness of the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital’s customised semi-trailer sized veterinary hospital that can be rushed to wildlife emergencies.

The tour bus, Matilda, is designed to go where there has been an incident or crisis, for example an oil spill, mass stranding or bushfire.

“We can come in as a free of charge service funded by partnerships, philanthropists and by the general public,” said Mr Mills.

The regional tour of south east Queensland and northern NSW visited Currumbin, Lismore, Grafton and Coffs Harbour.

Byron Zoo Hospital's Russell Mills said, “We were fortunate enough to have our tour sponsored by the Foundation for National

Both organisations provided the travelling vets and wildlife protectors with some key resources that can help people. “One of these was a program called Wildlife Friendly Vets designed to increase the skills and recognise services and the efforts of vets around the country who go out of their way to protect wildlife,” said Mr Mills.

This included information and resources on how to restrain a sea eagle, how to handle a macropod and what are the key things you need to know.

World Animal Protection provided video and printed resources on how to care for pets and wildlife during a bushfire. Mr Mills said both organisations were excited to sponsor the tour to get their messages across to a wider audience.

While at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park, Vets Duane March and Bree Talbot assessed a sea turtle, took x-rays and assessed a sea snake.

Councillors split over reclaimed water fees for farmers

By Emma DARBIN

MUCH debate ensued among Coffs Harbour City councillors over the inclusion of reclaimed water fees for local agricultural farmers in Council’s Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges at Council’s latest ordinary meeting.

The Recycled Water Consumption Charges are 20 cents per kilolitre of recycled water up to one’s allocated supply volume, $2 per kilolitre for excess use of one’s allocated supply volume, and a Recycled Water Access and Licensing Charge of $447 per year.

Council is planning to introduce the fees as part of its Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges which are now on public exhibition along with Council’s Draft 2012-2022 Delivery Program (Year 5), Draft 2021/22 Operational Plan, and Draft 2021/22 Delivery Program Budgets.

Cr Sally Townley called on community members to look through Council’s Draft plans, Budgets, and Fees and Charges for the coming financial year.

“I fervently hope that as many members of the community have the opportunity to look through these plans and these budgets and these fees and charges and get an idea of what Council is proposing to carry forward into this year of extra time that we’ve been sentenced with,” Cr Townley stated at

By Sandra MOON

Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 13 May. “Have a good look at the Budget, and please make submissions.”

Cr Paul Amos tried to get an amendment passed at the Council meeting to amend Council’s Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges to exclude the metered charge for reclaimed water usage for local agricultural farmers.

“It was a contentious fee that we put on earlier in the year and it relates to the 34 farmers in Hearnes Lake area,” Cr Amos said.

“This is a fee to charge them for their irrigation water, it’s reclaimed water, so I’m proposing here that we don’t actually charge them for their water.

“They’re isolated in this instance, they’re targeted with a very specific charge and I do not think it’s going to achieve anything with regards to enhancing the environment; we’re not going to make a lot of money out of it; I see it as fairly pointless.”

Cr Amos called on Council to remember that it was Council who approached local farmers to “help us out to actually disperse some of this extra water many, many years ago”.

“They actually helped us out initially, that’s another factor to think of here,” Cr

Amos affirmed.

Cr Michael Adendorff supported the removal of the reclaimed water fees from Council’s Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges and said not to do so would be “unconscionable”.

“We are effectively singling out a group of people and lumping blame on them for a certain outcome where we’ve had a major part to play,” Cr Adendorff said.

“This amendment is the right thing to do.”

Cr Tegan Swan also supported removal of the reclaimed water fees.

“I’ve taken some time recently to meet and engage with people impacted by this suggestion,” Cr Swan said.

“Currently what’s in place is very prohibitive, it appears to be unfair.

“I feel that there’s so much more that we need to do in this space.”

Cr Sally Townley, however, spoke against the amendment to remove the fee and stated that water was a public resource that needed to “be treated with respect” and monitored.

“One of the underlying objectives of putting this charge on was to collect some money that we can use for a monitoring program,” Cr Townley argued.

“We’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of thousands

of dollars on water quality monitoring studies relating to intensive planned agriculture.

“Every single study without exception has come back saying there is massive problems; heavy metals, pesticides, turbidity, you name it, all kinds of pollution in our waterways.”

Cr George Cecato questioned whether the charge will help stop the amount of water that is being wasted.

“At the moment it’s a free tap and it's open and water was physically wasted and allowed to get into the lake,” Cr Cecato stated.

Council currently has three wastewater treatment plants in the region which supply local agricultural farmers with reclaimed/ recycled water.

q Coffs Harbour City councillors were recently split over a decision to include reclaimed water fees for farmers within Council’s 2021/22 Fees and Charges. Photo: Emma Darbin.

The amendment was voted on by councillors, with three votes for the amendment and three votes against the amendment, enabling Coffs Harbour City Mayor Denise Knight to use her casting vote to vote against the amendment.

Crs Tegan Swan, Paul Amos and Michael Adendorff voted to remove the reclaimed water fees for farmers, and Crs Sally Townley, Denise Knight and George Cecato voted to keep the reclaimed water charges within Council’s Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges document.

Cr Keith Rhoades declared a conflict of interest in the issue and took no part in the discussion or voting, and Cr John Arkan was absent from the Council meeting.

The Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges, along with Council’s Draft 2017-2022 Delivery Program (Year 5), Draft 2021/22 Operational Plan, and Draft 2021/22 Delivery Program Budgets are currently on public exhibition until Friday 11 June and can be viewed on the ‘Have Your Say’ page on Council’s website at https://haveyoursay. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/.

A further report will be brought back to Council following the public exhibition process prior to adopting the final Delivery Program, Operational Plan, Delivery Program Budgets and Fees and Charges documents by 30 June.

Unlike her book Woman of Substances where her research showed a difference in the reasons women and men take substances, she found different pursuits can attract similar types of people, not necessarily by gender.

“For example, body building can be quite attractive to people with chaotic childhoods.

“It’s all about structure, proper counting of calories and it's so rigid as well.”

She found the body builders sought relief and release and consistency.

“I shadowed two body builders, both female and it could be a coincidence but they both were sexually assaulted in childhood and had difficult relationships with their mothers,” she said.

“If agency has been taken away from you as a younger person the desire to take up space as an adult can present.”

Community Transport Volunteers Share the Love THE Community Transport Company celebrated its many volunteers this National Volunteers’ Week by treating them to delicious barista coffees and snacks made by Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation, and kitting them out with new windcheaters and water bottles, complete with the charity’s new-look logo.

“Our volunteers give over 30,000 hours each year to this community, and travel over one million kilometres to get our passengers where they need to go,” CEO Bethany Langford said.

“We are grateful for and to them every day, but National Volunteers’ Week gives us a good excuse to go the extra mile for them.”

The Community Transport Company is proudly displaying its new look, in black and white, with old-fashioned lettering and an almost bottle-top looking design.

“We wanted to move away from the average aged care and disability logos, and appeal to people

from all walks of life – we know our passengers and volunteers are anything but average!

“Our logo is reminiscent of fun things like soda pop, breweries, and even biscuits! It was important to us that we didn’t place our passengers into categories which saw them as helpless.

“We want our passengers to know that we know they’re vibrant, active and intelligent people – nomatter what their age or mobility!

“We have had a lot of feedback about our new logo – overwhelmingly good, but I have had a chuckle when some people have huffily told me that it looks like a bottle top, or a cartoon, or for one lady, even death because it’s in black and white.

“But I say, bring it on!

“We love our new look – it helps us stand out and keeps us hip – just like our awesome passengers – and we make no apologies for standing out from the crowd,” Miss Langford said.

The new branding was undertaken on a tight budget with help from local designers Outspoken

Entourage.

The Community Transport Company is a registered charity and relies on volunteers to provide over 90,000 trips in cars and buses every year.

Draft Heritage Strategy to go on exhibition

By Emma DARBIN

A DRAFT Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategy for the next four years is now out for public consultation until Monday 21 June on Coffs Harbour City Council's Have Your Say website.

The draft Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategy 2021-2024 identifies how Council’s heritage program will be implemented and how its heritage advisory committee, heritage advisory program and local heritage fund will

operate.

Council has allocated $29,900 in its current Operational Plan for its heritage program.

The primary goal of Council's heritage advisory program and heritage advisor is to assist Council and the community in preserving the heritage of the area through management advice and recommendations.

Heritage items include buildings, sites, relics, heritage landscapes, precincts (such as main

streets), cemeteries, archaeological sites, industrial heritage sites and movable items.

“The Draft Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategy 2021-2024 will assist in meeting what the community values in relation to heritage within the Coffs Harbour LGA,” Council documents stated.

Some of the achievements of Council’s current heritage strategy for the 2017 to 2020 period include the State Heritage Listing of the First Sikh Temple in Hastings

BELLINGEN Shire Council, Coffs Harbour City Council and Nambucca Valley Council have teamed up to deliver a regional campaign to help educate residents about sustainable ways to dispose of food scraps and garden waste.

The Let’s Get Composting campaign will run across the three Local Government Areas for the next year.

The Councils and MidWaste Regional Waste Forum secured funding from the NSW Environment Protection Authority to develop the campaign to

encourage residents to put their food scraps and garden waste in the green bin or compost at home in an effort to keep this valuable resource out of landfill.

As part of the “Let’s Get Composting” Coffs Coast program, 10,000 kitchen caddies will be available for free for residents from 1 July 2021, making it easier to collect food scraps for disposal in the green wheelie bin.

A survey of Coffs Coast residents found most people know food scraps and garden waste should be disposed of in

the green bin to be composted

by Council, and around half are already doing the right thing.

However, an audit of kerbside wheelie bins across the region found up to 40 percent of the contents of red-lidded rubbish bins was food scraps and garden waste that should be placed in the green-lidded bins, indicating a significant opportunity to improve resource recovery rates in local communities.

Within 2017 to 2020, Council’s local heritage fund provided $42,653 of financial assistance for owners of heritage listed properties and properties within the Sawtell and Coramba heritage conservation areas.

Council has operated a heritage advisory program for more than seventeen years, and a heritage strategy was first prepared by Council in 2003.

A report will be brought back to Council following public exhibition of the draft Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategy 2021-2024.

food scraps and garden waste in the green wheelie bin or composting at home is one of the easiest things you can do to reduce your climate change footprint and contribute to the circular economy for our shires waste.

“International Compost Awareness Week” this week is helping to shine a light on the important role of composting in reducing organic materials in landfill and building healthier soils,” Mayor King said.

“We need to shift our thinking and see food scraps and garden waste as a valuable resource, instead of a waste product; to be transformed

“The Let’s Get Composting” campaign reminds residents that all food scraps belong in the green bin, including things you don’t want to compost at home such as onions, garlic and citrus peels.

“The joint composting facility can even process meat, bones and soiled paper products like serviettes,” said Mayor King.

Residents are encouraged to collect a free kitchen caddy from one of many pick up locations across the three Local Government Areas, which are listed at www.

letsgetcomposting.org.au.

The free caddies will be available from 1 July 2021 onwards and availability will be dependent on supply.

The program website also provides information about what can and cannot go in the green bin, a behind-thescenes look at the Biomass Solutions composting process, tips for keeping your kitchen caddy and green wheelie bin free from pests and smells, and ways to avoid food waste in the first place.

This project is an initiative of Bellingen Shire Council and NSW Environment Protection Authority and is funded from the waste levy.

Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride fundraiser for men’s health

By Andrea FERRARI

PROSTATE cancer and men’s mental health fundraiser, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR), an international initiative, brought some 50 besuited local motorcycle riders to Coffs Jetty on Sunday May 23.

The ride route took the motorcyclists south through Sawtell to Bonville Headland then back along Pacific Highway to Moonee Beach.

Founded in 2012 in Sydney to benefit the Movember charity, the Coffs DGR was inaugurated three years ago by Chris Duffy, who leads the riders each year.

Bringing up the rear, as First Aid Officer, was founding member, Daniel Gibson.

“It’s amazing to think they’re doing the same things as us in Iceland – it’s surreal – all around the world, the same,” he said.

Dean Hancock said, “I’ve seen this event for years and finally jumped in – it’s good to promote men’s mental

and health issues.”

Ducati Scrambler rider Jennifer Hargreaves has ridden in DGR’s around the country.

“We love the retro bikes, the countryside and the opportunity to share Coffs’ lovely roads, riding

at a gentlemanly pace and raising awareness for men’s health.”

Ernst Schlangenotto from Nana Glen said, “You never know when you might reap the rewards of prostate cancer research.”

Korora resident, Rod

Heinrich said, “I had a prostate cancer scare – it made me realise how widespread it is – and men don’t talk about it.”

Coffs DGR raised $8,900, and rising. For more info contact: cduffy@westnet. com.au q Jake Parker and Joel Durbidge.

Chris’ motivation to put Coffs on the DGR world map was his father’s health.

“My dad had prostate cancer and I used to go to Brisbane for the ride; then I decided we could do our own in Coffs,” Chris told News Of The Area.

Daniel got on board with Chris in the early days for his love of classic motorcycles combined with fundraising for a worthy cause.

“There’s a feeling of international camaraderie knowing thousands of motorcyclists are doing the same around the world meaning we can raise a significant amount of money.”

Ben O’Brien came up from Urunga for the ride because he believes it is one of the worthiest charities.

Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser at the Toormina Hotel TWO local families are joining forces on Saturday 29 May at the Toormina Hotel to hold a sensational fundraiser to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis.

‘Shave and Cut for a Cure and Charity Auction for Cystic Fibrosis’ will kick off at 2pm will feature a charity auction, lucky door prizes, raffles including meat, chicken and seafood trays and live music to follow.

Finger food has been generously donated by Toormina Hotel as has bistro prizes, surprises from the bottle shop and much more.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common, life-threatening recessive genetic condition affecting Australians. 3,500 people are living with CF in Australia and 1 in 25 people carry the recessive CF gene.

The current life expectancy for Australians with CF is 38, less than half that of the average Australian.

1 in 2500 babies are born with CF in Australia and both parents must carry the recessive gene.

CF causes an abnormal build-up of thick and sticky mucus in the lungs, airways, and digestive system.

Treatment requires intensive daily physiotherapy to clear the lungs and airways, countless medications, and frequent hospitalisations.

May is Cystic Fibrosis (CF) awareness month and all monies raised will be going to Cystic Fibrosis Community Care.

This cause is awfully close to the heart for these families as 42-year-old mother Kristy Hodges was diagnosed with Cystic

Fibrosis at age 16 months and in 2019/2020 faced the battle of her life with this life-threatening disease. Another Sawtell/Toormina local family involved in the fundraiser have a four year old daughter who was diagnosed with CF at birth and in her short life has also faced some significant challenges caused by this disease.

On the day, there will be a petition to have CF treatment drug Trikafta placed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme

As Trikafta is not a part of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, Australian CF sufferers who do not qualify for compassionate access currently need to pay $410 000 per year to access the drug.

The petition will be sent alongside an accompanying letter to Greg Hunt, Minister for Health, and Pat Conaghan, Member for Cowper.

Council Youth Strategy to prioritise Coffs teens

By Emma DARBIN A YOUTH Strategy and Policy will be developed by Coffs Harbour City Council in the second half of 2021 in response to engagement undertaken with the public on Council’s Youth Issues and Options Paper last year.

The Youth Issues and Options Paper provided the community with a comprehensive research paper outlining the current context for young people living in the local government area.

It also undertook to collate and communicate the service Council provides to young people in the community, and this was the first time a consolidated view of these activities had been articulated.

The Youth Issues and Options Paper was publicly

exhibited from 27 July to 24 August last year.

In that time, fourteen submissions were received, eleven surveys were completed and ten interviews conducted with people working in the youth sector.

Following the public exhibition process, a priority recommendation from the youth service sector was for Council to develop a Youth Strategy and Policy to incorporate other recommendations received from the community following the public exhibition of the Youth Issues and Options Paper.

Youths aged between 12 and 25 years currently account for around 15% of the Coffs Harbour population.

“Young people are known to be among the most heavily impacted by the economic

and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Council’s Section Leader Community Planning and Engagement Madeleine Lawler.

“Young people in the community have disproportionately borne the load of education disruption and structural changes to the employment market.

“They are also exhibiting poorer mental health outcomes and are vulnerable to instability in their home circumstances.”

Council’s Youth Issues and Options Paper, including recommendations, was the result of lengthy, in-depth engagement with young people between the ages of 12 and 25 and youth service providers over a two-year period.

It outlined key needs,

Meals on Wheels customers around Australia will receive a complimentary Hygiene Pack, consisting of Glen 20 and three Pine O Cleen products.

Saurabh Jain, Marketing Director at RD Hygiene ANZ, said, “As the fight against Covid-19 goes on, we are proud to be continuing our support of Meals on Wheels.

Woolworths Merchandise Manager, Household and Pet, John Loader said, “Building on the strong partnership Woolworths has with Meals on Wheels, the opportunity with Reckitt will take our commitment to customer safety one step further, particularly for more elderly, vulnerable and isolated Australians.”

Coffs Coast Meals on Wheels looks forward to distributing 90 Hygiene Bags to clients in Sawtell, Coffs Harbour, Moonee and Woolgoolga.

“We greatly appreciate the generosity of Woolworths Park Ave, Coffs Harbour, where staff not only packed these Hygiene Bags but also loaded them into trolleys which made it easier for our staff to load them into cars.

Thank you for your care and support,” said Bronwyn Webber, Service Manager, Coffs Coast Meals on Wheels.

Coffs Harbour courthouse welcomes two new Sheriffs

By David TUNE

TWO new probationary Sheriffs have graduated and have now been stationed at Coffs Harbour courthouse, bringing the Sheriffs office staff up to ten.

The new Sheriffs, Mr Grant Kerrison and Ms Lyndall de Vries come from the largest group of graduates ever, as reported in News Of The Area on May 7, and have been on the job at the courthouse since the start of May.

Mr Kerrison has a background in hospitality and decided to become a Sheriff to be more involved with helping people in the community, and Ms de Vries had previously worked as a court officer, and wanted to engage more with the public in the court system.

Ms de Vries said, “For me getting posted to Coffs Harbour was like winning the lottery, as I had spent time in Woolgoolga on holiday many years ago, and I just love the

Coffs Coast lifestyle.”

The probationary Sheriffs will work towards completing their Certificate III in Government (Court Services) over 12 months in the workplace.

Current Officer in Charge of the Coffs Harbour Sheriff's Office, Acting Inspector Andrew Jones said, “Our officers are responsible for providing court security, some civil enforcement and administering the jury service.

“They are there to set people at ease where

“Most people are on their best behaviour when attending court, but many of them are not having their best day, and part of our job is to be aware of that and take it into account when interacting with them.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh was on hand on Monday to welcome the new probationary officers and to thank them for their commitment to ensuring our justice system continues to operate safely.

Shelter run by the RSPCA is situated at Dowsett neglected and sick animals.

It acts as the holding Drive, Coffs Harbour, and provides care, shelter and veterinary treatment to abandoned, injured, facility for Coffs Harbour City Council.

Development consent has now been obtained for a new animal impound facility and the tender process for construction of the facility has been completed.

At Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 13 May, councillors unanimously voted to accept the tender for the construction of the Animal Impound Facility at Christmas Bells Road from Connex Management and Construction Pty Ltd for $1,373,562, and to allocate the proposed funding q The establishment of a new Council operated animal from the T2S Infrastructure impound facility at Christmas Bells Road, Coffs Harbour, Renewal Reserve to be is a step closer.

Cr Paul Amos stated at the meeting that “what we are doing here is we’re taking over the pound and giving ourselves autonomy there”.

“The construction of its own animal impounding facility will enable Council to consider different operational service models and obtain the most economical service outcome,” Council documents stated.

Council’s current service arrangement with the RSPCA is due to finish on 1 December 2021, with a month by month continuation thereafter.

Construction of the new facility is expected to commence late this month or in June 2021.

Swan Running For Mayor COUNCILLOR Tegan Swan has decided to run for Coffs Harbour Mayor, less than a week after Rodger Pryce announced his running for Mayor with Ms Swan listed at two on his ticket.

With Mr Pryce’s earlier announcement, several news broadcasters declared that Ms Swan would not be running for Mayor.

But, according to Ms Swan, the breakaway is not as dramatic as it sounds.

She told News of The Area the situation arose from the Pryce advertisement running while the two parties were still discussing the finer details.

“In essence we were still discussing things and I had been thinking this would be a great partnership and to see how things unfold.

“He obviously was excited which was awesome but we probably needed to discuss it further,” explained Ms Swan.

“Some people asked me if I really wanted to be second on a ticket because if he loses I may not get in as a councillor.

“I hadn't considered that,” she said.

Ms Swan asked Mr Pryce to consider a different model which would be a partnership if he ran for Mayor and with herself as number

one for a Councillor.

“He wanted to be number one as is the tradition,” Ms Swan said.

by Mr Pryce and Mr Pryce himself.

“I one hundred percent respect that.

“But being a councillor is important to me and I don't want to risk losing that.

“I thought we could have worked well together and the fact that we had the conversation and have a lot of respect for each other and I know they will do well as a ticket.

“You can have difficult conversations and change your mind and that's the way things evolved.”

Ms Swan was encouraged to run for Mayor herself and with her announcement to run for Mayor now made public, she said she has been inundated with calls and messages to congratulate her.

“I do think we can change things up in all levels of government and my suggested model created a nice balance.

“He is an older guy which is quite the standard.

“And women under forty are such a minority in local government,” she explained.

But with the model unacceptable to Mr Pryce, Ms Swan will be following the advice of her supporters who encouraged her to go for it.

Sensory Garden opening at Mullaway School

By Emma DARBIN MULLAWAY Primary School students and staff have welcomed the official opening of their new Sensory Garden, thanks to the Rotary Club of Woolgoolga.

The official opening of the Sensory Garden finally occurred on Friday 21 May, after being delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions in place at the school over recent months and localised flooding in the initial selected location of the garden.

Rotary Club of Woolgoolga secretary Patty Delaney said parents would now be able to allow their younger children to play in the garden while dropping their older children off at school, and school staff could now use the garden at lunch time rather than sitting

in the staffroom.

“Teachers can also accompany their class students there for sensory activities,” Patty said.

Work commenced on the Sensory Garden in December 2020 and was completed this month.

The Mullaway Primary School P&C Committee identified a need for the project and a P and C member ‘pitched’ the idea to Woolgoolga Rotary members.

“We developed a plan, Rotarians assisted other volunteers to lay out the garden and prepare the soil and put the garden edges in place,” Patty said.

“Over 17 square metres of soil was ordered, delivered and shifted into place; additionally, an equivalent amount of mulch was shifted.

“Two Rotarians visited the local Landcare nursery to choose and plant native plants, and Landcare donated 40 plants.”

Patty said with the assistance of other Rotary volunteers and school children from Years 2 and 3 ‘Kids in the garden’ the school undertook a “planting afternoon”.

“The school donated mulch and the school’s General Assistant asked a friend to loan us a tractor to assist with moving soil,” Patty said.

Patty wished to specifically thank Mullaway Primary School General Assistant Greg Williams, a former Rotarian, who embraced the project and provided countless hours of volunteer work.

“He assisted the volunteers to make the outline

of the garden, allowed us to use school tools and electrical tools, made a sculpture for the garden (King Neptune), built a garden arbor, used recycled timber to make a seat surround and made and installed 4 gabions and herb garden, installed a tap and planned and installed an automatic watering system,” Patty said.

Local business ‘Big Garden Furniture’ made a garden seat, a large plinth from recycled timber, and provided it at a reduced cost.

Two volunteers whose grandchildren attend Year 1 and Kindergarten classes at the school also assisted with the construction of edges, movement of soil and mulch and planted native Lilli Pilli trees in honor of their grandchildren.

The official launch of the Sensory Garden included school leaders (Year 6 students), the school’s Assistant Principal, Rotarians, other volunteer helpers, and friends of Rotary.

Two Kindergarten students assisted in the ribbon cutting and then the school leaders assisted volunteers to rotate 37 Kindergarten students through a series of fun activities to raise their awareness of the five senses of touch, sight, sound, taste and smell.

The school is an ‘Open School’ and the local community can access the grounds, the playgrounds and the paved areas for bike riding and skateboarding on weekends.

River Sounds Festival

By Sandra MOON

BELLINGEN will host a new music festival River Sounds set for Friday August 13 and Saturday August 14.

Festival Director Ben Lewis has been running events in Bellingen for the last seven years and said this event has been made possible through two grants.

Bellingen Shire Council provided grant assistance

through the Bushfire Tourism Recovery funds and another grant from the Office of the Arts has been administered through Pat Conaghan’s office.

Mr Lewis believes River Sounds will be a major boost for the local live music industry still in recovery mode from the impacts of Covid-19.

“Like everywhere, Bellingen was hit hard by

“But, there’s been nothing for over a year.

“Locally we know that The Bellingen Winter Music Festival isn’t running this year.

“People are ready to get back to having a dance and listening to some music,” he said.

“River Sounds will be a great way to kick things off again in our community.

The first line up has been announced and the headliner is Regurgitator.

Mr Lewis told News Of The Area, “More than ever Regurgitator find themselves extending the vitality of their live performances, continuing to infuse them with exuberance, mania and

SALVATION Army Major (Ret’d) Don Austin is delighted that Coffs Harbour can welcome back Hymnfest, described as a ‘Ministry of Music’ on Sunday June 20, now that pandemic restrictions have eased.

Started by Don in 2013 as an inspired ministry, the non-denominational celebration of traditional Christian hymns struck a chord with locals from many churches and walks of life, often filling up the Salvation Army church until the end of 2019, when restrictions hit and stopped the event.

Playing the Church’s Roland organ, which has been programmed to replicate the sound of a large cathedral pipe organ, Don delivers a program of traditional hymns that are not often heard in modern church settings.

He said, “Recreating the grand old hymns

Triple Zero for animals - that’s Wildlife Rescue Australia q Coffs Region Wildlife Rescue Phone Coordinator volunteer.

A WRA spokesperson told News Of The Area, “To achieve our objective, WRA has established a state-ofthe-art Call Centre which operates 24 hrs a day, 365 days per year.

“When a call is received, it is routed on a round robin basis to one of the phone coordinators (PCs) on duty at the time.

“When answered, a unique search engine (MapMaker - developed inhouse) automatically creates a call record and logs the date and time the call was received, the caller’s phone number etc.”

By Andrea FERRARI WITH the dream of becoming the national Triple Zero call line for wildlife, the founding members of Wildlife Rescue Australia (WRA) reckon they’re nearly there.

From humble beginnings in Coffs Harbour ten years ago, WRA is now an Australia-wide organisation specialising in the rescue of native animals, offering a 24hour helpline run solely by volunteers.

q

A voice recording of the incoming call is also stored and the information is available to all PCs on duty.

The Centre has a technical capacity of over one million incoming calls per year.

The Call Centre is staffed (at any one time) by up to ten or more home-based, volunteer PCs located anywhere in Australia.

They use the professionally written search engine MapMaker to generate a Google-type map for each rescue.

“The map shows the location and details of the animal to be rescued,

together with nearby rescuers, carers, vet clinics etc, even tree climbers and chimney sweeps, i.e. any person or organisation who may be able to assist in a rescue.

“Any one of thousands of individuals or organisations can be contacted by phone, email or text within seconds of a call being accepted, with a few clicks of a mouse.

Over the last seven years, WRA has answered over 95% of calls received, with an average answering time of less than 25 seconds.

Big Banana and Bunnings support SES WOW Day

By Andrea FERRARI

WEAR Orange Wednesday (WOW) Day on May 19 is the annual, national ‘fun’ day to acknowledge and thank our State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers.

In Coffs, The Big Banana went orange while other cities around the country lit up their iconic buildings.

James Daniels, Unit Commander and volunteer, told News Of The Area the Coffs crews were out WOW-ing both Tuesday and Wednesday.

“On Tuesday we got a lot of our crew out to the Big Banana; earlier in the day we went to Bishop Druitt College for a Youth Community Engagement event which was all about education for storms, floods and tsunami,

Friday, 28 May, 2021

which includes inland water rescue and vertical rescue.

“On Wednesday Coffs Bunnings rang up saying all their staff had ‘gone orange’ for the day and they were offering us the gift of a Community Booth.

“We took a rescue boat and parked it out the front and took our Storm Safe message to the community, advising people to clean their gutters, put away loose items and secure their kids’ trampoline”, to avoid weather-oriented dramas.

“Bunnings also kindly donated us an air compressor.”

James says most people don’t realise how vital the SES is in Coffs, and that it’s the busiest unit in the state.

“In Coffs the SES has a long-standing history as the

primary response rescue service when people ring through to Triple Zero.

“The Coffs SES cluster has performed nearly 1,000 requests for assistance over the last 12 months.”

While the SES is government funded, it’s manned by volunteers, with over 100 members across Coffs Harbour.

“We offer the best value to taxpayers as a voluntary service,” said James.

People join the SES for various reasons, from distributing brochures, to flood rescue, to breaking down doors for the ambulance crew, to cutting people out of cars, and teaching the community.

“There’s the livestock and domestic animal rescues too.

“Coffs SES is one of the youngest and most diverse units in regional NSW. For more information visit ses.nsw.gov.au.

q

News Of The Area, "Volunteers are the lifeblood of a community and in the Corindi Beach region we have seen some heroic and selfless volunteering efforts in the past weeks and last year.

“This is on top of the normal everyday rescue and emergencies our neighbourhood volunteers are responding to."

Nominations are open until Friday 9 July 2021 at www. volunteering.com.au/volunteerawards In this edition, News Of The Area chatted with local volunteers Helen Mears, Mid North Coast Local Health District and Wildlife Rescue Australia, the Triple Zero helpline for wildlife.

The Rock Show Oz Edition THE Rock Show Oz Edition is coming to the C.ex Coffs on Friday 18 June, and the show’s co-producer, Coralea Cameron, is delighted that it will be able to go ahead with increased capacity and the audience allowed to sing along! The Rock Show Oz Edition was the last in a long line of rock shows that Cameron co-produced with her long-term partner, the late Aussie rock icon Jon English.

“Sadly, Jon never got to actually perform this show.

“We had to cancel the upcoming tour when he passed away.

“It took me a long while to pick up the pieces, but I was determined to see it through in Jon’s honour, and I couldn’t be happier with how fantastically it’s been received since we started touring this year,” said Cameron.

Featuring Steve Mulry from the Ted Mulry Gang, along with band members

from Jon’s last rock show, Trilogy of Rock, Cameron says the Rock Show Oz Edition celebrates, “An outstanding repertoire of classic Aussie Rock from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.”

q

Steve, the brother of Ted Mulry from hit 70’s band the Ted Mulry Gang, who now fronts the reformed original band in his brother’s place, said he was humbled when asked if he’d help carry on

the show in Jon’s memory.

Mulry said, “Having lost my own brother, I of course understood how Coralea and the band members felt about wanting to honour Jon.

“I was a big fan of Jon myself and I remember how he was one of the first to come to the party when my brother Ted became ill.

“So I of course said yes straight away.”

The Rock Show Oz Edition is coming to the C.ex Coffs on Friday 18 June.

Rare Plants Threatened By Bypass

By Andrew VIVIAN CONSERVATIONISTS have long argued that rainforests q

that are being destroyed may contain as-yet-undiscovered plants that could possess the potential to cure diseases such as cancer.

The last Fontainea Coffs Harbour on the planet.

The discovery of two types of rare plant along the approved route of the Coffs Harbour bypass has raised this issue locally.

By Andrea FERRARI WORLD Melanoma Day on May 23, saw Australia’s leading cancer charity highlighting the risks of not wearing sun protection every day of the year.

Putting on sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses daily is a must according to Cancer Council NSW data which states UV is high enough to cause cancer for at least ten months a year across the State.

Louise Jeffs, Cancer Council NSW Community Programs Coordinator said,

“This is incredibly alarming because every 30 minutes in Australia, someone is diagnosed with melanoma meaning one of us dies from the disease every five hours.

“That is why, this World Melanoma Day, we are urging people to make regular sun protection a priority.

“Skin cancer has come to be known as our national cancer, it is the most common cancer in Australia, with two in three Australians diagnosed by age 70.

“The good news is, skin

cancer is also one of the most preventable cancers, meaning that when we protect our skin from the sun we significantly reduce our skin cancer risk.”

People often think that sun protection is only needed in summer or when it’s hot, but the reality is, “We need to be protecting ourselves using five forms of sun protection yearround – even on cool and cloudy days in NSW,” said Louise.

Cancer Council NSW recommends SLIP on a shirt, SLOP on sunscreen,

A company called Qbiotics has isolated a chemical from a plant called fontainea picrosperma, or blushwood tree, which it claims can heal cancer tumours in dogs.

A Transport for NSW spokesperson told News Of The Area that as part of early work on ecological surveys for the Coffs Harbour Bypass project, two probable new species have been discovered, a Fontainea allied to Fontainea oraria (Lennox Head Fontainea), and a species of Pittosporum that differs in several characteristics from other known species from that genus.

The plants were discovered by Dr Andrew Benwell, who works for Sandpiper Ecological Surveys, the company engaged by the project to carry out the ecological investigations.

SLAP on a hat, SEEK shade and SLIDE on sunglasses.

“While protecting your skin from UV radiation is the best defence against skin cancer, it is also important to regularly check your skin for new or changed spots.

“Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, and most melanomas are found by the person with the melanoma or their partner.

“If you notice any changes to your skin, make an appointment with your doctor straight away.

“You will have a better outcome if the skin cancer is found and treated early,” Louise concluded.

ecologist Mark Graham, the bypass had already been approved at all levels before the plants were discovered, so, currently, there is virtually no legal protection for them.

While the other endangered plant, the Coffs Harbour Pittosporum, has individual plants away from the bypass route, the entire Fontainea Coffs Harbour population is covered by the route.

There is only one female plant, which is essential for the species to survive, growing in a remnant of rainforest that originally extended from Boambee to Moonee.

Mr Graham said that this lush rainforest was almost completely removed by the 1920’s because settlers wanted the best land.

Less than half a hectare remains, and, under current plans, the bypass will remove

“Everybody sings in this show, and/or plays multiple instruments, and everybody has their moment in the spotlight, something that Jon encouraged in all our Rock Shows.

“Jon was very much a, the show must go on, type of person - he hated to cancel a show for any reason.

“I like to think that he’d be pretty happy we are doing this in his memory to keep his legacy alive for his fans,” said Cameron.

that patch.

Transport for NSW said it is committed to protecting and minimising impacts to the probable new species which will include looking at feasible translocations, propagation or protecting the probable species in-situ.

Mr Graham says that any solution other than moving the bypass around the plants is fraught with risks.

He said that the plant depends on the moisture, shelter and darkness of this patch of rainforest in which it has dwelt for millions of years.

The Transport for NSW spokesperson said they were confident there will be sufficient time to ensure management measures to protect the new species are implemented without delaying the construction timeline.

Regardless of the medicinal possibilities of Fontainea Coffs Harbour, ecologists insist that its survival should be ensured.

Locals recognised for dedication to Poll Hereford cattle breeding

q Ruth and Greg Northover holding their certificate with Lisa Sharp (left) newly appointed CEO of Herefords Australia Limited (HAL) and The Hon. Trish Worth (right), Chair of the HAL Board.

By David TUNE

GREG and Ruth Northover have been presented with a certificate in recognition of their 25 years of dedication to breeding Poll Hereford cattle.

Now retired to the Coffs Coast, the couple’s involvement in breeding Poll Herefords came about by sheer accident.

Having met in the Army and developing public service careers after finishing their time in the military, the Northovers moved to the Yass region and worked in Canberra.

In the early 1980’s they decided to purchase 200 acres of degraded farmland near Dicks Creek at Gundaroo, with a view to building a passive solar powered home and providing a space for their daughter's horse.

The land had been severely over grazed and was described as a ‘moonscape’ with major erosion problems and an extremely low stocking capacity.

Greg decided to approach Landcare to see if he could secure some funding assistance to address the issues on the property and discovered that they needed to be registered as primary producers to qualify (which is no longer a requirement).

Starting with four poddy calves from a local dairy they began to investigate raising cattle so they could fulfill the requirements for Landcare assistance and in a short period of time discovered a passion for working with the easy-going Poll Herefords.

In describing their journey from home builders to recognised and well-regarded Hereford stud owners Greg said, “It probably shows that our approach to things is that if you are going to do something, do it as well as you

possibly can.

“We are of course cock-a-hoop to have achieved this significant milestone, notwithstanding that we no longer have any of those magnificent Hereford Cattle.”

Just before they sold the property to retire, they received the ‘certificate of occupancy’ for their finally completed passive solar home.

Family owned and operated for 30 years. Now opera�ng in Coffs Harbour, Macksville and coming soon to Port Macquarie.

Estate debts and superannuation KEN makes a will leaving his estate to his spouse, Joan and he makes a binding death benefit nomination, relating to his superannuation fund, with the effect that his substantial superannuation passes to his children.

After Ken’s death, Joan seeks legal advice regarding Ken’s estate.

Joan is concerned that although she receives Ken’s automotive business under his will, she is aware that there are a number of creditors that had been pursuing him.

The solicitor advises Joan that as executor, she has a duty to pay Ken’s debts, which in this case, primarily arose from his business, which he conducted as a sole trader.

Joan is also advised that if she wishes to continue to run the business, she is able to pay the debts herself.

Unfortunately, Joan does not have the funds to pay the creditors and the business is placed on the market.

In relation to Ken’s superannuation, Joan is advised that the superannuation fund is a protected asset and that creditors have no claim on the superannuation.

Joan is also advised, that because Ken’s children are non-dependent adults, they will pay a substantial amount of tax on his super, which could have been avoided if it had been left to Joan.

In considering whether to make a family provision claim, Joan is advised that, unlike the law in other states, she can make a claim on Ken’s superannuation.

Joan is also advised that 95% of these types of claims settle at mediation for around $200,000 and that the solicitor would be prepared to be retained on a “no win no fee” basis in the circumstances.

Dear Jasminda,

At the rugby on the weekend, a couple of the parents got into a slanging match and it almost erupted into something physical.

What sort of message is this sending our kids?

Mrs Marie P.

Major Fire Hazard DEAR News Of The Area,

THE Coffs Coast has just had one of its wettest and mildest wet seasons for years.

Understory growth in the forests and on private property between Bellingen and Woolgoolga has been phenomenal.

And sooner or later it's going to dry off and become a major fire hazard.

If we get a hot dry spring and some storm activity we may be looking at a fire season along the coast to rival the 2020 one.

I have farmed and grown bananas at Boambee for 43 years and was an active member of the Boambee Rural Fire Brigade for 34 of those years.

RFS brigades between Crossmaglen, Red Hill and Woolgoolga used to conduct burn offs along the western hills every few years to protect our banana assets as well as the homes and infrastructure of families who worked in town.

Depending on weather conditions at the time we would burn off from late July until early September.

We used a simple

philosophy – light the eastern side of the hills along the forestry trails at the ridge line and let it slowly burn down.

Once it had burned down far enough we lit the burn off at the bottom and let it burn up the hill.

Most of the eastern escarpment has south facing gullies that were too wet to burn and they provided a safe place for ground dwelling wildlife.

Because it was a cool burn Koalas were safe in their trees and later thrived due to the ability to move around freely and see predators after we had burned the lantana and other noxious weeds.

Some 15 years ago the hierarchy of the RFS got spooked about the possibility of being sued if burn offs got away and they tightly wrapped all the brigades up in red tape and effectively eliminated burn offs.

So we now have over 15 years of fuel load waiting to go up in the right conditions.

That problem has been compounded by the fact that the Forestry Corporation and

Coffs Harbour City Council do little to keep the access trails open, particularly those on the southern and western sides of the city.

So access to conduct hazard reduction is near impossible as is conducting a burn back to stop a wildfire.

Banana growers were the backbone of the RFS in this area for many years as winter was a slack period and we had the time to devote to burn offs.

Now most active brigade members work in town or have a business to run and are not available for burn offs.

So to protect places like Crossmaglen, Boambee, Red Hill, Moonee, and Woolgoolga from wildfire the RFS will have to employ paid staff to carry out burn offs sooner rather than later or we could be facing a firestorm one day.

Of course I am sure that all those rural residents west of the highway are bushfire savvy and fully prepared, having learned from the 2019 -2020 fires.

Yeah right!

Regards, Ted KNOBLOCK, Boambee.

Patterson (Knight’s Castle, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, May 21 Edition, p32) was not present at the public meetings to plan the Cultural and Civic Space (CCS).

I attended at least three of these and I can assure her that the committee was anything but anonymous, encountering numerous hurdles before the DA was granted.

One of these hurdles was an appeal to the state minister by those who wanted the CCS abandoned, however all was found to be in order and due process followed to the letter.

Dear Marie,

I guess we all attend weekend sports for different reasons. For some of us, it’s an opportunity to get out into the sunshine and watch our kids build on their good old Ricky Resilience when they lose by 40 points. For others, it’s a chance to catch up on some emails, occasionally glancing up at little Freddie and wondering what sort of weirdo invented the scrum, which seems to involve forcing Freddie’s shoulder into the sweaty buttocks of Lurch, his oversized teammate, in an effort to gain possession of the ball.

Or maybe it’s the plastic-wrapped pies and weak coffee that entices you, as you work on ruining your waistline at the same speed as your over-zealous daughter Veronica works on understanding the meaning of non-contact sport. Then, of course, there’s the parent who has put Sunny-Jim into footy to relive his childhood. He yells, he waves his fist in the air, his face goes beetrootred and the veins in his temples pop, as he watches Sunny-Jim ruin his chances at vicariously living out his destiny to be man of the match, a destiny stolen from him back in ’86 when he showed some promise on the field right before the indignity of being removed on a stretcher with a suspected broken collar-bone. This parent is on edge from the moment he parks his Prado. His senses are heightened for any dodgy coachcalls. He is like a cat on a hot-tin roof, ready to pounce, and he should just be left alone or even sedated with several bacon and egg rolls just in case a player puts a foot wrong against Sunny-Jim, a kid easily picked on the field because he is trying to disappear into the blades of grass rather than suffer the indignity of his old man ranting from the sidelines. There should probably be a referee both on and off the field. This off-field referee could hand out penalties based on parents’ behaviour. The scenario you painted, for example, would translate to 10 points off the offending side’s final score.

People on low incomes need support and I join with anyone who would prefer to see rates lowered, however for the foreseeable future this utopian dream will not be realised in Coffs Harbour.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD JAMES Marles was the second person to apply for land in the Coffs Harbour LGA after undertaking a journey halfway round the world to reach the area.

Born in Smethwick in Staffordshire, England on 8 May 1849, he emigrated with his parents and siblings to Troy, situated beside the Hudson River in New York, America in the late 1850s.

Following his older brother and father’s occupation described variously as a machinist and machine fitter, he remained there.

His decision to emigrate saw him undertake his second overseas voyage, arriving in Sydney aboard the ‘Dunbar Castle’ on 20 March 1877 before making his way up the coast.

Having married Catherine Davis the previous month at Maclean, James applied for portion 4 in the Parish of Coffs on 2 September 1880.

Comprising 100 acres, his land was located either side of West High Street, encompassing what was the old Catholic Club, now Key Employment, with Coffs Creek forming the northern boundary and King Street, the southern boundary.

After moving to their new allotment, he

The Journeys of James Marles and Catherine remained in the area and went on to have 11 children.

He established a store in Moonee Street, near the current Coffs Coast Hotel, operating a weekly delivery service for more rural settlers.

He took advantage of the founding of the Beacon gold mine at Coramba in the early 1880s, opening a store there, then repeating this tactic at Woolgoolga, opening another store for that population in Feb 1898.

Two months later he sold his store at Beacon Mine, then his store at Woolgoolga in July the following year.

In February 1905 he built a large addition to his Coffs Harbour store, however he was making plans to relocate and his commercial interests were purchased by John Moorehead.

After a farewell gathering, he left for his third and final voyage to Red Deer in Alberta, Canada via Sydney on the 6 September that year, with Catherine and their nine surviving children following him seven months later.

Bellingen Shire Council News Our Shire’s Priority Projects and Challenges

By Bellingen Shire Council General Manager, Liz JEREMY OUR entire transport network has become more vulnerable due to the increased intensity and frequency of recent flooding and severe storm events in our region, but despite these challenges, Council’s Operations Branch and Asset Team crews have continued toa deliver priority projects throughout our Shire.

That includes completing emergency flood damage road grading works along Kalang Road and putting some of our Shire’s $16 million of Fixing Country Bridges Funds to work by commencing geotechnical investigations to replace 13

Funds to repair and reseal approximately six kilometres of Gleniffer Road to maintain this important transport corridor.

There’s no doubt that the impacts of the December 2020 and March 2021 flooding events are still being felt though, which has made it challenging to maintain the operational capacity required to deliver these emergency works in parallel with Council crews recently being diverted to Waterfall Way to remove more than 15,000 tonnes of material from 20 slip sites.

However, we have continued to work towards delivering these works and key community infrastructure projects including the pending delivery of Stages One and Two of the Dorrigo to Dangar Falls Pathway Project, which will link the recently completed Dangar Falls Viewing Platform with Dorrigo’s town centre and

What Climate Emergency?

DEAR News Of The Area,

I WORRY about our children’s future, when they are allowed to ‘wag’ school, apparently with the encouragement of their teachers, to attend a climate strike about a fabricated “climate emergency” and listen to propaganda, instead of attending classes and learning science and history.

Truth in science is determined by how well observation and experiments agree with the theory.

It is not determined by which theory gets the most votes.

In my opinion, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC)

Friday, 28 May, 2021

computer climate model has proved, to say the least, inaccurate.

Not one prediction has eventuated.

Yet, proponents of the carbon induced climate emergency still cling to it to validate their position.

Temperatures observed from meteorological balloons and satellites, both of which agree, have been much less than those predicted by the IPCC model (approximately a third).

The warming, as small as is observed, is almost certainly beneficial.

It gives a longer growing period and in the northern hemisphere, crops can ripen a little bit further north.

Nobody knows how much the warming observed over the past 50 years is due to CO2.

There is good reason to believe that most of it would be there without increase in CO2 because we are coming out of the ‘Little Ice Age’, which occurred during the early 1800’s.

As a result of the increase in atmospheric CO2 there has been a greening of the planet.

Plants are requiring less water.

They are producing leaves with fewer stomata (pores) through which they absorb CO2 and through which water diffuses out.

As there are fewer stomata there is less loss of water through them.

During the 1980’s Dr Sherwood Idso conducted experiments with pine trees,

DEAR News Of The Area, I TRUST our Jetty Steering Committee visits the Jetty Sunday Markets and see the vacant areas north and south of Marina Drive currently used for parking are full with the overflow stretching along Jordan Esplanade.

The same occurs most Sundays and when other major events are scheduled.

The parking area currently being enlarged is no solution as the need for parking far exceeds its capacity.

I hope the Committee and all decision makers involved in the Jetty revitalisation keep in mind that every square metre of this area ceded to developers takes away parking space forever. Parking in the precinct is already at a premium from restaurants and other businesses.

I hope continued strong public support and feedback already received for keeping east of the railway line free of residential development is not only acknowledged but evident in upcoming plans.

Best regards, Lionel GOODACRE, Coffs Harbour.

key bridges across our Shire, including five bridges along Kalang Road, to ensure we can maintain essential access for our community, local farmers and businesses.

Council’s Assets Team personnel and Public Works Advisory representatives have also continued to conduct flood damage assessments across our road network to identify and prioritise emergency works, inclusive of the 1031 emergency work and damage reports currently being managed as part of this program.

Priority road works due to commence shortly include works along Gleniffer’s Promised Land ‘Loop’ Road to repair and reseal segments of the road that are in very poor condition, and in the coming months, Council will also invest $190,000 and $1.707M of Fixing Local Roads

The Dangar Falls Reserve Play Space has also received a funding boost to the value of more than $214,000 to refurbish and replace the existing dilapidated and dated play equipment to create a modern and engaging play space and destination for the hundreds of families with children that visit Dangar Falls every weekend.

Council also continues to pursue every possible opportunity with Transport for NSW to advocate for the delivery of additional disaster management initiatives including the expansion of our existing flood camera network and the potential upgrade of Summervilles Road as an alternative route for our community to use when necessary.

Ultimately, it’s always going to be difficult to address the range of immediate and long-term challenges our environment and transport network presents us, and that’s why every effort is being made to rise to these challenges and to take advantage of opportunities to fund and deliver these priority projects. where he observed that increasing the amount of CO2 available to the trees, increases their growth rate.

This can be achieved with most plants including wheat, corn and other crops.

Fossil records confirm that when CO2 levels were ten times or more than they are today, plant and animal life thrived.

By geological standards plants have been living in a CO2 famine during the current geological period.

For most of the past 600 million years CO2 levels have been 10 to 20 times higher than today.

MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA

WIN, 7.30pm

Many will probably watch tonight’s two-round cookoff fascinated by the ingredients. But would you use them in their own kitchen? Are you “game”? Full-blown foodies are in for a treat, but can we expect an even more challenging episode dedicated to something such as offal soon? Probably not. Chicken intestines just aren’t that charming, but there’s a sense of adventure in cooking game meat. Tonight, the contestants have five minutes to identify 14 displayed game meats. The lowest scorers will have to concoct something delicious and impress judges Mel, Jock (above centre) and Andy (above right) in order to stay. It’s not exactly lick-yourlips television, but is kind of educational.

From the deft hands of writer and producer Jed Mercurio (Line of Duty, Bodyguard) comes this scenically beautiful and emotional dark whodunnit. If you watched the premiere episode last week, you could be forgiven for thinking that Bloodlands has a bythe-numbers police procedural feel to it, albeit a top-quality one at that. But as episode two unfolds tonight it soon becomes clear that not only is its lead, James Nesbitt, (right), a scenestealer of the highest order, but that this kidnapping story is more complicated and nimble than first appearances suggest. Tonight, detective Tom’s (Nesbitt) search appears to have been led down a false trail.

It’s gripping, rewarding viewing.

When a multi-million dollar necklace is stolen from the home of Filipina businesswoman Roxanne (Vergara Moore), her life unravels as the criminal investigation exposes cracks in Sydney’s glamorous façade. With themes of female friendship and the migrant experience, it’s a rich soiree.

Koalas defend koalas

By Andrew VIVIAN

ON the morning of Tuesday May 18, four forest defenders, dressed as koalas, spent four hours on the Forestry Corporation roof in Coffs Harbour.

The four were part of action to highlight their view that Forestry Corporation’s NSW (FCNSW) industrial logging of native state forests is ignoring the wishes of Gumbaynggirr elders, fuelling climate change and pushing threatened wildlife to the brink of extinction.

Even though the group has met with Forestry Corporation NSW, held meetings with MPs, written letters and conducted their own surveys, which they say prove koalas are active in local state forests, they feel

that Forestry Corporation continues to ignore expert advice and science.

The group now feels that direct action is their only recourse.

One of the activist ‘koalas’ told News Of The Area, “I felt that I needed to turn up to and support the Gumbaynggirr elders.

“Forestry Corporation’s own figures show it made a profit in 2019 of only $28 a hectare, which, to me, shows that the industry is unviable.

“I will do whatever it takes to protect our forests, waterways and wildlife from native forest logging on Gumbaynggirr homelands.”

The group said that diminishing koala habitat because of bushfires and logging had already pushed

Australia’s national icon to serious risk of future extinction and that Forestry Corporation’s industrial logging operations currently proposed at Newry State Forest and Pine Creek State Forest are within some of the most valuable and important koala habitats in the region.

The four were supported by a crowd of protesters outside Forestry Corporation NSW’s building who called for an immediate end to logging in public native forests across Gumbaynggirr homelands.

The protesters say that many of the state forests scheduled for logging were only just spared from the Black Summer bushfires that burnt through the majority of the North East coast forests.

According to them, forests

The Norths Hockey Club player said he had a clear-cut favourite part of playing the game he loves.

“Getting to play with mates, and it’s good to see them and shake their hands and catch up with them,” he said.

The 13-year-old defender explained to News Of The Area why he loves playing down back.

“Just getting to hit the ball as hard as I can, and getting to see the whole game as it unfolds,” he said.

“It’s a challenge playing defence because I have to really read the game and use my head, and I have to know where to position myself.”

The Bellingen Hockey Club were the standout women’s teams of the round winning three of their four matches, while the Urunga Hockey Club won both of its men's matches.

Girls football on the rise

By David WIGLEY

SAWTELL Football Club have amassed 526 registered players in 2021 and it’s female footballers who are turning the dial at the club.

Club President Simon Portus told News Of The Area, “Our senior numbers

have grown significantly and 32% of our players are female.

“Along with our new female change rooms that are currently being built, we’ve put a big effort into trying to make girls and women feel at home at our club.

THE Coffs Coast Tigers have continued their recent stellar form with a 7-0 victory against the Sawtell Scorpions during the latest round of the Coastal Premier League.

On the back of a 5-0 victory against the Macleay Valley Rangers and a 5-0 win midweek in their FFA Cup match against the Kempsey Saints, the Tigers continued their recent purple patch with a 7-0 victory away from home against the Scorpions at Toormina Oval.

The Tigers got out to a 2-0 lead after 29 minutes, with their second goal a result of forward pressure and an intercept.

in U16 and senior women’s competition.

“Teams in our under 12s and under 14s girls are currently leading the competition, in 2022 we are hoping to have two teams in each age group from the U10s through to our senior women.

“As part of Female Football Week on 26 June from 10am we will be having a club BBQ and a ‘come

“Our club's future is looking bright with so many talented female football players, it was such a close game and the girls played it with great spirit.

“Definitely a highlight of this season and can’t wait for our next derby,” said Renae.

goal came as the result of a ricochet after the Tigers forwards clamped down on the Scorpions defenders.

The Tigers scored their fourth goal on the stroke of half-time to all but seal the 3 points.

The second half saw the match turn more into a defensive struggle, but the Tigers still managed three goals with two of them coming from beautiful longrange strikes.

Despite scoring plenty of goals in the last three matches, it was his side's defensive efforts which impressed Tigers coach Luke Stow the most.

“Keeping teams to a clean sheet in the last three

matches has been the most impressive thing,” he said.

“We have been working on defensive pressure up the field, and it’s about being structurally complete.”

After scoring 17 goals and conceding none in their last three matches, Stow said his side could still get better.

“There is more room for improvement and there are a few things we can improve on,” he said.

“Playing a complete match for 90 minutes and a few little things we are sticking to.”

The Sawtell Scorpions won their reserve grade match against the Tigers 2-1, with Harley Parker scoring the match winner.

Boambee come back to share the points with the Storm

By David WIGLEY

BOAMBEE equalised in the last minute to share the points with the Northern Storm in a 2-2 draw last Saturday at Korora Oval.

Storm Coach Eric McCarthy told News Of The Area, “The lads played well, dominated possession but didn't convert their chances to put the game to bed.

“You have to take your chances against a quality side like Boambee or you get punished and that's what happened when they equalised in the last minute,” said Eric.

It wasn’t the Boambee structure we have become accustomed to seeing with Thomas Frewen playing in central defence and marksman Brady Parker playing in goals.

Boambee President Fiona Clancy shed some light on the line up, “A last minute shuffle of players due to centre back Joshua McIntosh calling in sick saw the Bombers move Thomas Frewen into the central defending position.

“Our defence did their job only allowing Storm to score by way of two awarded penalties, there were some good moments of attacking play by Boambee seeing Luke France and Joseph Newman reaching the back of the net.

“So far five games have been played, with another 13 rounds to the regular season, we are yet to see the Bombers reach their potential,” said Fiona.

Storm Co-Coach Craig Caruana explained the fine margins in this year’s Coastal Premier League.

“Happy with the effort again, we played some good football and had our moments against Boambee.

“We've gotten ourselves into winning positions against ‘the big four’ in all those games but haven't been able to see those games out or finish teams off when we have had the chance.

“We have to and will get better in taking those opportunities, we're still getting used to each other, the combinations are slowly getting there so we still have a fair bit of improvement with and without the ball,” said Craig.

Northern Storm travel to Macleay Valley Rangers for their next match on Saturday 29 May and Boambee travel to Taree to play the Wildcats also on Saturday at 3pm.

TEN players from North Coast Football have been identified and invited to participate in cycle one of the Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) Talent Support Program (TSP).

TSP is a national program implemented by NNSWF for the most talented players to provide a best practice, highquality training environment that supplements their existing club participation and assists players in maximising their potential.

TSP in the regional zones is inclusive of male and female players in the 13s, 14s and 15s age groups where players are identified

following nominations from Technical Directors as well through talent ID camps and match visits conducted by NNSWF’s team of Technical Advisors, led by NNSWF and Newcastle Jets Technical Director Kew Jaliens.

North Coast’s ten selected players commenced the program earlier this week which is one extra session per week to compliment their club training.

The players will train for 10 weeks where they will be assessed, reviewed and may be retained or released for the subsequent cycle based on performance, development, behaviour, attitude, potential and the individual needs of each

player.

Under 15s coach Nathan Silvy also added, “The TSP also provides players with opportunities to represent Northern NSW Football at National Youth Championships and potentially transition from NPL and WPL to A-League and W-League academies.”

Loki Marchant’s father Duncan is amongst the proud parents.

“I think all the NCF parents are proud of these kids representing our area.

“It’s not easy for these young athletes competing five hours away and at such a high standard but from what I’ve seen, they definitely deserve it,” said Duncan.

finishing it was the clean sheet that pleased coach Luke Stow.

“Happy with the win and to score five goals means the football is good but to keep the other side to nil is more important for me it means we are structurally good as a team.

“We are starting to see the hard work pay off the boys are putting in which I am happy for them.

“The challenge for them now is to be able to keep the intensity up that we are looking for on a week to week

basis. “Also we are still a young team and new players together so as a squad we look to learn from every match and improve each time we take the field,” said Stow.

The Tigers are in a rich vein of form with back to back wins and now look forward to a battle between the big cats as they take on the Lions in a hometown derby as Club President Melessa Bennett explained.

“The midfield held the game and were dominant for the second week running, it was exciting to see Innocent

David finding the net again with another two goals bringing him to four goals in the past two matches, we look forward to him improving his form throughout the season.

“Defensively we had a strong game and youngster Taj Buck offered speed and intensity upfront assisting our attack on the goal for much of the match.

“We have a strong opposition next in the FFA cup as we take on the Lions, but as long as we play our game the results can go either way,” said Melessa.

Six of the best

By David WIGLEY

THE creme de la creme of women’s football on the North Coast, the Boambee Eagles and the Urunga Raiders continued their fine form in the women’s first division notching up convincing victories last Saturday.

The Eagles defeated the Maclean Bobcats 6-0 as prolific striker Kylie McDonald banged in another four goals to make it eight goals from two games, whilst

the Urunga Raiders defeated the Woolgoolga Wildcats 8-1.

Eagles Coach Neil Witherdin hailed the enthusiasm of the younger players having a contagion effect on the rest of the team.

“This week's game was a little scrappy at times mixed with some great patches of play resulting in some terrific goals. “With our younger girls in Nioka, Casey and Holly starting to find their comfort zone, their enthusiasm is rubbing off on all players.

“The Eagles had an up and down first half with an injury to our Captain Krista causing concern to players and disrupting our play.

“3-0 at halftime, in the second half the Eagles settled and played a more controlled game creating some great chances and scoring three more.

“At the end of the day goals to Siobhan Deam, Rebecca Oberleuter and another four to Kylie McDonald rounded out the day.

“Our second clean sheet for the season was also something all players can be proud of.

“Special praise must go to Maclean players who haven't had their coach for the last month and have been organising and training themselves under the guidance of their captain, mixed in with the amount of traveling they do, these girls are a credit to the entire club, good luck for the rest of the season,” said Neil.

The Boambee Eagles host the Urunga Raiders in a battle of the giants on Saturday 29 May at 3pm at Ayrshire Park.

The three Urunga Hockey

Club players are part of a squad of 60 boys chosen from across the state to take part in the prestigious program.

The Athlete Acceleration Program is NSW’s most successful talent development program.

It is a highly sophisticated program developed through extensive collaboration with the New South Wales Institute of Sport and Hockey Australia to help ensure that medal winning Olympians are produced and that the future of Australia’s elite performance

Urunga Hockey Club player Matt Kramer was also selected to the NSW Combined Independent Schools Open Boys team after standout performances at the Under 18 Boys State Championships.

Urunga Hockey Club president Travis Ford is the man in charge of coaching the four talented juniors.

He said it was no surprise their talents were recognised

by Hockey NSW. “They have a great work ethic and attitude on and off the field,” he said.

“They work really hard and are fantastic to coach, and

they are just a bunch of good young men.”

Ford told News Of The Area the benefits the Hockey NSW program would have for the three players.

“It will teach them more elite hockey skills and prepare them for higher elite level hockey competitions,” he said.

Ford said his club had focused on developing juniors such as those recognised by Hockey NSW. “We’ve been putting a lot of work into the juniors and making sure they enjoy hockey and have fun,” he said.

“Urunga had nine players in the under 18’s Hockey Coffs Coast squad at the State Championships, and that’s a result of developing the juniors.”

Park Beach Bowling Club will conduct a media information presentation once all teams have been confirmed.

Comets Co-captain Megan Danvers thought the team got better as the game progressed.

“We started a little slow due to the field being very heavy underfoot, eventually found our feet and started to pick apart their defence.

“The girls have really gelled after round one of the comp and our game is getting better and better every week,” said Megan.

Co-captain Jess Moore echoed Megan’s sentiments on the muddy pitch.

“The first half was slow

going, as it was muddy in the middle and we couldn’t seem to find our rhythm, but the girls were tough and came back with intensity in the second half.

“We finished off strong, coming together as a team and backing each other up,” said Jess.

Gum Mayak, and one goal each from Jemilla Oko, Nick Mallett and Lorenzo Rigoni blitzed their southern neighbours to put the Lions at the business end of the Coastal Premier League two points behind Boambee and Port United.

After a slow start to the season the Lions have raised their game as Glen Williams explained to News Of The Area.

“Playing bottom of the table is not always the best scenario as Taree desperately needed the points and we needed a win to keep up the momentum.

“The first half started at a good pace and we were early on the scorecard taking that to 4-0 at half time.

“The hardest part of playing a game like this is trying to keep discipline, and dropping the game plan to become a scrapfest.

“We spoke about this at half time, and the script was written early with some great passages of play through the midfield, man of the match was Chris Dooley with an extremely high work rate, and a notable mention to our import ‘pom’ Joel Hampson with a hat-trick to keep his averages up.”

Man of the match Chris Dooley praised the team effort.

“We played a really good game of footy.

“We focused a lot on just doing the simple things right and taking what we do at training and put it on the pitch.

“The boys put in a great performance, everybody worked for each other and made the game a lot easier,” said Chris.

CRISTI Juffermans has been chosen to help shape the future of basketball in Northern NSW. The former Coffs Harbour Suns junior coach was named by Basketball NSW as a Regional Development Officer for the Northern NSW region.

Juffermans will be responsible for helping to develop the sport in the Northern NSW region, which involves a number of different duties including sport development, female specific participation programs, female leadership programs, indigenous participation programs, education programs for coaches and officials as well as better access to play and participate in basketball for residents in regional and

The Coffs Harbour resident’s development duties will be part of Basketball NSW’s legacy program to be run across the state in association with the 2022 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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.

Classy Comets Friday, 28 May 2021

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Comets put on another immaculate performance defeating the Woolgoolga Seahorses 48-0 in the Ladies League Tag competition last Sunday at Geoff King Oval Motors.

Zahlia Keighran, Hannah White, Kassey Reeves and Megan Danvers scored two tries each with Jess Moore and Xanthi Hand who just returned from the Sydney Roosters squad scored one try each for the Comets.

It’s been a stellar opening to the season for the Comets who have scored 184 points and conceded only 10 points and as a result are sitting proudly at the top of the Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League competition after one round.
