SWIFF Opening Night Kicks Off Bumper Festival

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Jetty Theatre was packed for the opening night of the Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) on Thursday 21 April.

Patrons mingled and chatted with drinks and food from The Happy Frog, with many getting into the spirit of the opening night film, ‘The Northman’, by posing for ‘Viking’ photos before entering the theatre.

The Mayor of Coffs Harbour, Paul Amos, gave the Welcome to Country and then talked about the

importance of the film festival to the region.

He said, “During this film festival you might see some films you don’t particularly like, but that’s art.”

This theme was picked up by Festival Patron Jack Thompson and organisers David Horsley and Kate Howat.

Mr Horsley said, “It’s about bringing people to our region.”

“This festival is all about expression, with over 40 different countries represented.

“The films are about

pushing our boundaries, pushing our limits.”

Ms Howat said that SWIFF started with ‘The Northman’ and will end with ‘Everyone Everywhere All At Once’ and, including the films in between, “These films are from film makers who are daring and ambitious.”

The audience applauded the film trailers and were moved by a message from Ukraine from film makers Hellen Rose and George Gittoes.

They told the audience about how ordinary men and women were fighting

and that three fingers up means ‘victory for Ukraine’.

In addition to the closing night film next Friday, highlights still to come next week include ‘Surfing Soundwaves’ (with live music by ‘Headland’) tomorrow evening, the SWIFF X Hilltop Autumn Feast next Tuesday, ‘Sundown’ (Best Film winner in Venice) next Thursday and a 50th Anniversary screening of surfing classic ‘Morning of the Earth’ on Sunday, along with many other fabulous films.

Big Banana’s iconic monorail set for pastures new A PIECE of Coffs Coast history may soon have a new home after plans were announced

by Big Banana management for the sale of the two remaining iconic monorail trains.

The monorails, which have been garaged within the Big Banana complex since 2005, are said to be surplus to requirements as park management looks to make room for accommodation and improved maintenance facilities.

The monorail system was introduced into the Big Banana as part of a major tourism rebuild in the 1980’s,

giving locals and tourists a chance to explore the park’s then-new attractions.

The train ride included a guided look at past and future agricultural practices, maneating triffids and a curious animatronic bunyip.

In 2005, one of the three monorails derailed, submerging in a lake and the monorails were subsequently shelved due to financial reasons.

As news of the sale became public however, social media went into a spin with hundreds of posts by adoring locals remembering their experiences onboard the locomotive.

From nostalgic memories

about day trips, to punters wishing for a return of the service, and even jokes about childhood trauma caused by the bunyip, the comments show the monorail still captured many local’s hearts.

Development Manager for the Big Banana, Jerome Dorman, says the social media comments were in keeping with anecdotes from park visitors, who sometimes think the monorail is still in service.

“It’s exciting reading all of those fond memories, and people sharing those memories with each other, it was heartwarming to see,” Jerome said.

He said that there has

THE first action meeting for the Bellingen and Nambucca Farmers for Climate Action network is being held on Saturday April 30 at 11.30am at the Bellingen Showgrounds, right after the Bellingen Growers Market.

Farmers for Climate Action is a non-partisan national movement with 7,000 farmer members and more than 25,000 supporters who want to see strong climate policy to protect Australian farmers.

“Come along and hear how

we plan to keep strong climate policies on the agenda with all candidates running in this federal election and discuss how we can work together to get climate action happening in our area,” said local Farmers for Climate Action spokesperson Fiona Morgan.

“In the wake of the recent procession of drought, bushfire, pandemic and now floods, many people are struggling.

“You are not alone.

“Come along to meet

like-minded people in the community.

“Farmer voices are powerful and we want to be heard by our representatives.”

Organisers say they want to address climate disasters in a way that acknowledges the hardships farmers continue to face and that sends a clear message about the solutions that rural communities need.

“With a Federal Election fast approaching, we have a golden opportunity to let all our candidates know that

Farmers for Climate Action are here!

q Farmers for Climate Action is a movement of farmers and rural Australians working to ensure that farmers are a part of the solution to climate change.

q The Bellingen and Nambucca Farmers for Climate Action network will host an action meeting on Saturday April 11. farmers and rural Australians expect their leaders to do everything they can in the next term of government to secure strong climate action and create solutions that will help us thrive,” Fiona said.

“We know that farmers are an incredibly powerful voice in Australian politics.

“The Australian public trusts farmers more than almost any other group when it comes to climate change,

and farmers are an incredibly powerful force in rural Australia.

“As the only farmer-led organisation working to shift the politics on climate in rural Australia, Farmers for Climate Action is playing a very important role in the Australian climate movement right now.”

THE Housing Matters Action Group (HMAG) is launching a series of videos featuring interviews with candidates for Cowper answering a set of housing-related questions, designed to be relevant to all Cowper residents who can register to receive the videos.

Housing is a visible issue across the Cowper electorate with the obvious need for affordable accommodation seen in people, sometimes whole families, sleeping rough on the streets and in their cars around the Coffs Coast.

While the reasons for homelessness and the need for housing are complex with no quick solution, the Bellingen-based Housing Matters Action Group advocates that does not mean we can't work together to find a range of solutions.

The group has been working to support local and regional housing issues since 2018 and wants to highlight the crisis in the lead up to the Federal election.

“Housing is something that everyone needs and increasingly we’re seeing a growing divide between those that can afford the rapidly increasing housing costs and those getting pushed to the margins,” Emma Belcher, Vice-Chair, HMAG said.

“We need to find real solutions and commitments from our elected representatives because if we leave it to the market, we’re only going to get more of the same.”

Residents are invited to register online to hear Cowper candidates talk about housing, their ideas and solutions and how, if elected, they will work to improve the housing system

own NDIS policy settings.

“They certainly don’t feel un-blessed or lesser - they love and value their children regardless of whether they have a genetic condition, autism, muscular dystrophy or impaired bodily function.

“What they don’t feel blessed about is how they are being forced to make big decisions on how they can make ends meet as the Government continues to cut NDIS funding,” Ms Heise said.

Ms Heise said the Prime Minister should apologise “without reservation for his hurtful comments”.

The Labor candidate for Cowper, Keith McMullin, agreed.

He said, "Mr Morrison appears to see people with a disability as not blessed - as less.

“Adults and children with disabilities are not burdens.

“We need a Prime Minister that champions the rights of all Australians and who strengthens our NDIS, not one that cuts it down with continual reduction of funding.”

Mr McMullin said trust in the NDIS needed to be restored and the 4.4 million Australians with disability needed a better, secure future.

Greens candidate for Cowper Tim Nott said, “The strength of our community is demonstrated in how we look after those who are in need of assistance.

“The Greens have political representatives for the varied nature of our society and this inclusion gives us the experience to be able to represent all Australians.”

Mr Nott said the Prime Minister’s comments were insensitive and unfortunate.

“All people have value and to state that one trait gives more or less blessing than another misses the point of how an inclusive society accepts all people are valued equally and perpetuates the idea that people who are in one part of their life where they need assistance, aren't as good for our country as people who are currently blessed to be able to work.

“Parents of children who test boundaries and require higher levels of care are often more empathetic to other humans and this is a blessing I wish the PM knew more about.”

Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan was contacted for comment, but did not reply in time for publication.

Mr Morrison has since apologised for his comments.

Cowper Candidates React To PM’s Comments

RECENT comments by the Prime Minister which indicated that he felt “blessed” for his children not having a disability have not been well-received in sections of the community.

Independent candidate for Cowper Caz Heise has sought to reassure Mid North Coast parents of children with a disability that she stands with them, and will never patronise them or diminish the struggles their families face.

Ms Heise, a nurse and former Director of nursing and Midwifery at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus, said she was left shaking with rage and disbelief when she heard the Prime Minister's comments, in reply to a question about the NDIS. She said, “I couldn’t believe the leader of our country inferred that people who had children with a disability were less than blessed.

“I know how so many people across Cowper will be feeling after hearing those words.

“It’s like our Prime Minister judges people with disabilities and their parents as lesser beings.

“I spent an amazing Saturday only recently with local NDIS participants getting insight directly from them to formulate my

All One Under The Sun launch night

By Andrea FERRARI

THE ‘All One Under the Sun’ anti-racism project for 2022 was launched at the Jetty Memorial Theatre on 11 April to a full house.

The project is a program led by the Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS), supported by headspace Coffs Harbour, Coffs Harbour City Council, Coffs Harbour Local Aboriginal Lands Council and Blue Sky Community Services.

A warm Welcome to Country was given by Aunty Yvette Pacey and was followed by a powerful Gumbaynggirr cultural dance performance by the Wajaar Ngaarlu dancers.

Jalay Jalay dancers, led by local Gumbaynggirr choreographer Gloria Mercy, then performed a very moving contemporary Aboriginal dance piece about the Stolen Generation, which set the scene for a powerful night at the Jetty Theatre.

MCs Rataj Abdullah and Mikal Tesfamariam from the project’s Youth Action Collective (YAC) confidently

guided the audience through the evening, which included speeches by MP Gurmesh Singh, Mayor Cr Paul Amos, and STARTTS CEO Jorge Aroche.

Nada Ali, Rataj Abdullah and Zahra Kawyan from the YAC also shared poetry and speeches detailing their vision for a world without racism.

One of many highlights was the performance of the project’s anthem by the Song Writing Collective and guest artists.

The All One Under the Sun song features five languages, and sends a strong message about standing up to racism and coming together as a united community.

It is both catchy and heart-warming.

The original song was written collaboratively by the young musicians alongside local music producers ‘Grow the Music’, and is now available to download on all platforms.

This collaborative song includes many different cultures, genres and styles, moving between Gumbaynggirr to an indie pop style groove.

It crosses through Kurdish musician Ali Hasan’s lyrical bouzouki, spoken word in Arabic to Swahili rhythms, with MCs Tory Paasi and Roger Lundindi’s heartfelt words bringing us back to a

The screening of the documentary and film clip created by local filmmakers Bathtime Productions follows the process of creating the project and shares the stories of some of the young people and facilitators involved, detailing experiences of racism as well as antidotes to racism, and their hopes for a harmonious future in Coffs Harbour.

The young people involved see this change as possible, and something they want to achieve to make life better for their younger siblings and children in the future.

The overwhelming message is that we are stronger together.

“Following the documentary, the film clip of the song was screened for the first time – there was a great sense of pride and connection from all who took part in the evening,” Naomi Steinborner, Project Coordinator, All One Under the Sun told News Of The Area.

There's a screening of the film clip coming up at the All One Under The Sun Festival on 29 May at the Botanic Gardens in Coffs Harbour, where the Song Writing Collective will perform live.

The festival is led by

Coffs Harbour City Council in collaboration with local partners and celebrates everyone’s journey to call Coffs Harbour home.

It is a new incarnation of the popular Harmony Festival that hasn’t been held in recent years due to COVID restrictions.

The festival will have a strong line-up of performances including both local and visiting artists, as well as workshops, activities and delicious food celebrating cross-cultural Coffs Harbour.

Readers & Writers Festival program goes live

www.newsofthearea.com.au

The Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival (BRWF) 2022 program has gone live online.

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival (BRWF) 2022 program has gone live online.

It has been a wild ride according to the organisers.

“Building the program for a writer’s festival is a lot like an Indiana Jones movie,” said BRWF programmer Adam Norris.

“You’re dodging boulders, opening magical chests, and people won’t stop throwing spears at you.

“But at the end of the day, not only do you get to wear an awesome hat, but you end up with an entire weekend of these unbelievable conversations.

“I like pairing authors who you wouldn’t ordinarily expect to see together.

“Kevin Rudd talking with Fran Kelly is a no-brainer, of course, but a conversation between Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis and philosopher Danielle

Celermajer is something really unique.

“Same goes for our memoir event, where this legend of playwriting David Williamson is sitting down

with Dick Smith.

“You’re just not going to see these kinds of discussions anywhere else.”

After the recent announcement that BRWF’s q Interviewer Melanie Kembrey with Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival guests, Thomas Keneally (top right) and Peter Doherty.

For the program visit www. bellingenwritersfestival.com. au/program/.

Budding authors also still have time to enter the BRWF Writing Competition.

Now in its third year, the quality of writing across the three LGAs - Bellingen, Nambucca and Coffs Harbour - must be seen to be believed, say the organisers.

With three different age categories open for submissions, there’s high anticipation of what the contest has in store.

For details about the theme, word length, and how to submit your story, follow the link to the Bellingen Readers & Writers website – closing date is 20 May at 8pm.

By Andrea FERRARI

ARTISTS in the Garden meets for the first time on Sunday 1 May at Coffs Harbour Botanic Gardens, a venue chosen as the perfect place for an artist driven initiative.

Launching the monthly event, participants will see a range of artists showcasing their works direct to the public.

“You can still sign up to attend - we are accepting registrations up until

Saturday night, 30 April,” coorganiser Tammy Mills-Thom told News Of The Area.

“This is a free event for both artists and visitors to the Botanic Garden.

“There is a range of artists already registered including watercolour, acrylic and oil painters, charcoal drawers, encaustic painting as well as a spoken word artist and writer.

“From little things, big things grow.

“This is an artist-led event

which should provide variety throughout 2022.”

Fellow artist and organiser James P Gilmour has designed an interactive art walk, utilising a mobile phone, the surrounds of the garden and art history.

“I am really excited to share this with visitors to the event,” James said.

“The Botanic Garden is both relaxing and inspiring and I hope that people who

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

take the walking art trail will enjoy the experience.”

Tammy said, “The combination of art and nature is a perfect recipe for a Sunday afternoon.”

High Tea supports Pregnancy Care fundraiser

By Andrea FERRARI

PREGNANCY Care Coffs Harbour will host its Baby Shower High Tea on the Saturday before Mother’s Day, (7 May) at Sawtell RSL. “In 2017, one of our members had a light bulb moment suggesting we try a different fundraising event by holding a Baby Shower High Tea,” Lynn Mabey from Pregnancy Care Coffs Harbour told News Of The Area.

“Held at the Sawtell RSL Club, we were overwhelmed by the community support of this event and its success.

“Since then, our event has morphed into an annual event and is held on the eve of Mother’s Day which celebrates motherhood.”

The event now includes a fashion parade hosted

by Beaches at Sawtell

boutique.

The Sawtell RSL Club

has generously supported this event each year and

is deemed by the group as the perfect place to hold a fashion parade while enjoying the spoils of an afternoon tea with family

and friends.

Lynn shares some of the ‘why?’ behind Pregnancy Care Coffs Harbour’s work.

“Her shoulders begin to relax, her head comes up, eyes brighten and hope appears.

“This young mum who was in despair has just been told that we will be able to assist her with what she needs for her expected baby.”

This is a scenario, or versions of it, that has recurred many times since Pregnancy Care Coffs Harbour has been extending practical assistance to mothers across our region.

Much of the help is undertaken out of the public eye, and referrals are received from various maternal health agencies and other services.

Established in 2000, Pregnancy Care Coffs

q Pregnancy Care Coffs Harbour’s Carolyn, Marie, Trish and Jan at their fashion show supporter, Beaches at Sawtell boutique.

Harbour consists of a small group of volunteers.

“Over the 22 years the group has been operating, we have supported families from across the Coffs Coast region.

“Preparing for the birth of a baby is usually a time of joy and great expectation.

“In the current economic climate, having a child can also add financial strain on the family budget.”

If a baby is born with health challenges, it can add further pressures.

“When we are able to support these families in need with baby items such as a car seat, pram or simply nappies and wraps, it can make a huge difference to their emotional wellbeing.”

Through fund-raising activities, small grants and tax deductible donations, they are able to supplement the supply of these items.

The Baby Shower High Tea tickets are $25, available at the Sawtell RSL Club or online at https://Sawtellrsl. sales.ticketsearch.com/ sales/salesevent/53528.

Reach out support for the homeless

By Andrea FERRARI

NEW Horizons’ outreach support service for the homeless is working with the Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) Ranger division in an initiative which shows compassion in the sometimes uncomfortable circumstances

of compliance, where the ranger has to ask someone sleeping rough to move along.

New Horizons have developed packs filled with essentials for Council rangers to hand out when they engage with someone experiencing homelessness.

“Homelessness is a

complex issue and requires a whole of community response,” a Council spokesperson told News Of The Area (NOTA).

“Under some circumstances, Council staff such as rangers are required to approach people who are sleeping rough.

“In these circumstances, it has been helpful in the past if they have something to offer by way of support.

“These packs contain key essentials such as personal hygiene products, a rain poncho, and a Homelessness Information Card about where to access supports in our area.

“While these are a small offering, they provide a warm opening for Council staff to engage with people experiencing homelessness, when they are required to do so.”

The initiative is in its second round and is being received favourably by both the Rangers and those being gifted the bags.

Gordon Polkinghorne, Team Leader, Rangers and Compliance, CHCC, told NOTA, “The bags are a bit of an ice-breaker for us.

“Rather than just going down and telling a person they can’t sleep there and that they’ve got to move on, we can say ‘here’s something that may be able to assist you’.

“Handing them the card we can say ‘here’s a list of people who can help and give you support’.

“We’re trying to guide people in the right direction to get support.”

The recipients are usually surprised by the gesture, says Gordon.

“They say thank you and are grateful and they feel they have been treated as people, not as something that is shunned or turned a blind eye to.”

It’s an opportunity to engage, rather than just be there for a compliance issue.

“It’s a win-win, if we can guide them into assistance and they can get accommodation and move forwards, that’s a win for them, and if it stops

complaints about the use of an area, that’s a win for us.”

The Mayor of Coffs Harbour, Paul Amos, was in attendance at the handing over of the second delivery of bags.

“This is a great initiative and fosters engagement with the vulnerable homeless community – thank you New Horizons,” said Paul.

New Horizons is here to help you, call 02 5632 4800.

Radio dreams for young people

By Andrea FERRARI

RUNNING their own radio show or podcast is a dream young people are one step closer to achieving thanks to a new Regional Youth Radio Program (RYRP) for young people living in regional and rural NSW. Minister for Regional Youth Ben Franklin has announced 15 successful applicants of the $200,000 program funded by the NSW Government.

“It is important we support young people and allow them to have a say on

issues important to them.

“The projects funded under this program will give them the opportunity to discuss local issues and actively participate in their communities,” Mr Franklin said.

“This funding will deliver projects that enable young people to participate in youth radio and podcasting activities, and also include upgrades to sound studios, the purchasing of equipment, and providing of short courses and training opportunities.”

Congratulating local

recipients of RYRP funding, Mr Franklin came to Coffs Harbour and was joined by Member for Mr Singh said the program will support the next generation of radio broadcasters and podcasters.

“Giving young people a voice will contribute so much to community life, and I can’t wait to hear more content that connects and empowers our regional young people,” said Mr Singh.

OneMob Radio in Coffs Harbour is a First Nations internet-based radio station operating in Gumbaynggirr Country and was successful

in its funding application under the program to grow its on-country youth broadcasts.

Earlier in April, Mr Franklin visited the OneMob Radio Studio to meet founder Lachlan Skinner and officially announce that OneMob Radio was successful in a grant for $13,000.

The Minister was inspired by the young people who joined Lachlan for the announcement as they gathered in the studio to explain how OneMob Radio works their hopes for the

future of the station.

Lachlan thanked the NSW Government and said the funding would allow them to better connect with their local youth audience.

“We are very excited to receive this funding as it allows us to do more of that on-country radio work.

“Allowing us to connect with more communities and more young people is something we are very passionate about," Lachlan told News Of The Area.

“Being on Country and in the community is a space

that we want to hold more regularly.

“We don’t want to be limited by access to power and other barriers.

“With this funding we will be able to get equipment that allows us to broadcast/ run community workshops from wherever we want.

“This will help with NAIDOC Week events, OneMob BIG Breakfasts and other projects that are in the works.”

Dorrigo’s horse competition weekend HORSE breeders, trainers and riders of all ages are being offered a rare two-day challenge and campdraft in Dorrigo this weekend – Saturday 30 April and Sunday 1 May. Organised and sponsored by the Dorrigo Show Society, the two days of competition provide several classes and disciplines for the riders and a spectacle for viewers.

The new undercover arena at the Showground provides a top class facility for Dorrigo’s

first ever indoor campdraft on the second day.

The Horse Weekend is part of an ongoing commitment

by Society members to offer local and visiting enthusiasts a variety of competition, normally found in country shows and specialist equine events.

Society President Sally Duckett stressed the challenge was open to riders and horses of different classes and experience.

“The horse challenge

q Jemma Beaumont of Dorrigo, competing in campdrafting classes at a recent Silver Spurs Day.

q Not all horse classes involve a saddle and rider at Dorrigo’s Horse Weekend.

starts on Saturday morning at 8am with led classes for stock horse, quarter horse and any other breed, following that is the ridden classes for U17 and open (adults),” Sally said.

“After all that we start on the Challenge.

This is a timed event with competitors jumping over poles, cracking a whip, walking over a bridge, “and whatever else we can think of”, said Sally.

“Next is a working pattern involving circles, cantering, stops etc.

“Last is a two handed cutting event in which each competitor cuts a beast out of the mob and is challenged

to keep it separated from the mob.

“On Saturday night we’ll have a camp oven dinner and dessert, with a bar operating.”

On Sunday morning, starting at 7.30am, Dorrigo’s first ever indoor campdraft will kick off in the new undercover arena at the Showground, sponsored by Elders of Dorrigo and named accordingly.

The campdraft involves seven head of cattle in a small yard.

The rider goes into the yard and picks one out and keeps it away from the others.

“This is called a cut out,” explained Sally.

The rider then goes out of this yard with the beast and has to do a course around the arena.

“This involves doing a figure of eight around pegs and then you guide the beast through a gate.”

The rider gets scored out of 100 for the whole course The undercover arena is

a major acquisition by the Dorrigo Showground Trust, financed by a government grant.

It provides modern, top class facilities to horse and rider to test their skills and show their class.

Dorrigo’s Horse Weekend will offer two days of entertainment for anyone interested in horses and equine competition.

Inspired and inspiring Seniors Awards

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL Achievement Awards for seniors have been presented to dance teacher MaiToumbi ZammitRoss and the founder of the Chinwaggers program, Margaret Bridgman.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh presented the ladies with their awards, for which they were nominated by local residents.

The recognition awards are held in conjunction with the NSW Seniors Festival,

held from 25 March to 3 April, acknowledging outstanding contributions by and for the seniors’ community, “making Coffs Harbour a better place to live,” said Mr Singh.

“If I didn’t get to do what I do, I would feel unfulfilled,” said Margaret.

Likewise, MaiToumbi is a natural giver, telling News Of The Area, “I love inspiring people about dance and movement, helping them develop rhythm and an appreciation for music.”

tell a story of what you do,” said Mr Singh.

“Your activities bring more people out of their shells to do more things themselves; the recognition of what you do might be the catalyst for someone to come along and get involved,” he added.

Margaret’s weekly Chinwaggers program is based at the Boambee East Community Centre, where she is renowned for her ongoing dedication to seniors.

“Every week we have a guest speaker.

“We encourage friendship and connection.

“For our adventures we explore our region.

“We’ve been to the blueberry farms, the local fire station, we’ve been to the local bison farm and the buffalo farm, opening people’s eyes to the region.”

As a former CEO of Coffs Coast Tourism, Margaret has an enthusiastic appetite for showing people around an area and finding interesting places to visit, while all the time generating a camaraderie amongst her group.

dance classes in Coffs Harbour, it’s all about how the music stirs the body and spirit.

“I’m fascinated by how the brain reacts to music.

“I use West African rhythms which are known to take us back to the heart.”

Using these deep heartfelt beats, “We can get fit, tone the body, energise the spirit and nurture the soul,” she said.

“Our classes are so energising,” she said, “people leave our classes with the oxytocin rushing around inside them.”

MaiToumbi is internationally trained in dance and Zumba, including

with EPIZO Bangoura and Les Ballets Nationale de Guinea.

Inspiring people is what these women do.

“I love to inspire my students and they inspire me back – it’s an exchange,” said MaiToumbi.

“I’d endorse that,” said Margaret, “it’s a two way street,” she said.

In personally congratulating MaiToumbi and Margaret, Mr Singh said, “I thank you for your generous contributions, remarkable skills and extensive knowledge which continue to benefit our community.”

By Andrea FERRARI

MUMS and mums-byassociation will be warmly gifted Mother’s Day gifts this year in an initiative that has sprouted from Margaret Schumacher and her friends on their Facebook group, Paying it Forward Coffs.

“Residing in nursing homes across Australia are women who have birthed a child and other ladies who

were substitute mums and mums whose children no longer visit due to many reasons including social distancing,” Margaret told News Of The Area.

“These beautiful ladies deserve to be remembered.

“Last year I was talking to a long-time friend whose mum passed away in a nursing home.

“During this conversation she mentioned the forgotten

mums…these ageing mums without children or family and we added them to our list.”

Together with friends from Paying it Forward Coffs they decided to collect cakes of soap to donate to these mums.

“When asked ‘how are you going to wrap them?’ we reached out for donations of drawstring bags and handmade gift tags.”

q

Members and friends added soap to their weekly shopping.

“Rose, lavender, handmade, Australian made and soaps for sensitive skin were all gifted with love, kindness, generosity and a few tears,” said Margaret.

As the group started to prepare the gifts, stories were shared of mums’ favourite soaps.

“We told stories of uses

for a cake of soap (other than bathing) and shared memories of our own mums.”

Paying It Forward Coffs is gifting soaps in Coffs Harbour on Monday 2 May to ladies in Legacy Nursing Home.

“You may work with or know women who have lost a child.

“They are still mums.

“You may know women who are estranged from

their child(ren).

“There are grandmas who haven't met their grandchildren.”

These are the mums Margaret and Paying It Forward Coffs are calling on the community to remember on this Mother’s Day, Sunday 8 May 2022.

How you can help is by joining the Facebook group ‘Paying it Forward Coffs Harbour’.

A similar project will be undertaken for Father's Day 2022.

q Beautifully handwritten gift tags make the final touch.

Lions Club Need For Feed convoy at Halfway Creek

q Lions Club members from Urunga, BonvilleSawtell, Coffs Harbour, Coffs Harbour Pacific City and Woolgoolga hosted ANZAC weekend’s Need For Feed truckies en route to Northern Rivers.

By Andrea FERRARI

LIONS from five local Lions Clubs hosted the latest Need for Feed convoy carrying fodder heading to the flooddevastated Northern Rivers.

Almost 40 trucks loaded with fodder stopped off at Coles 24/7 Express at Halfway Creek, parking up and partaking in the Lions lunch on Sunday 24 April.

“On this trip Lions Club

members from Urunga, Bonville-Sawtell, Coffs Harbour, Coffs Harbour Pacific City and Woolgoolga worked together to host the latest convoy of 39 vehicles of various sizes – from utes with trailers to b-doubles,” Emily Struik from Urunga Lions Club told News Of The Area.

“The trucks met at Halfway Creek where the clubs served fresh rolls, fresh fruit, Lions Christmas cakes,

packages of ANZAC biscuits and cold drinks.”

Some of the ANZAC Day weekend convoy included trucks travelling from Tasmania.

Lion Graham Cockerel, chairman and coordinator of Need For Feed, thanked the clubs for their support and presented certificates of appreciation to them.

“He also advised that there will be another convoy

coming to the flooded areas on the June long weekend,” said Emily.

If anyone would like to support the convoy, you can contact one of the local Lions Clubs or Need For Feed Australia on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ NeedForFeedAustralia/.

Since early March the Lions Club of Need For Feed, based in Victoria, has been taking truckloads of fodder to the farming communities in northern New South Wales.

Two major convoys and many smaller trips have headed up to the Northern Rivers.

The first saw thirteen trucks heading through the Mid North Coast, spending a Saturday night in Urunga prior to travelling north to Lismore.

During the following week, six individual loads were completed.

On the following weekend another convoy of 20-plus trucks made the journey,

stopping overnight at Coles 24/7 Express at Halfway Creek, before heading north.

"We’re here until there’s no longer a need," said Lion raham Cockerel.

"The people and farmers of many of the areas we’re currently helping have already endured one of the worst droughts on record, then catastrophic fires, next the pandemic and now these devastating floods,” said Need For Feed organisers.

It’s Time to Care About Aged Care

By Andrea FERRARI

AGED care service provider NVC Group, which works across the Mid North Coast, is supporting the Australian Aged Care Collaboration’s (AACC) election campaign, It’s Time to Care About Aged Care.

Rallying the community to sign its petition, NVC calls on all parties and independent candidates running in Cowper and across the nation to commit to three main actions: 1. A workforce partnership supplement for providers to spend immediately on increasing wages, training, minutes of care, 24-hour nursing and COVID-19 prevention and workforce retention costs.

2. A minimum wage increase for aged care workers by funding the Fair Work Commission Work Value Case, and award wage increases from July 2022.

3. And a commitment to

a multidisciplinary workforce by putting in place an allied health needs assessment and funding model by July 2024.

NVC Group Chairman Janine Reed said workforce pressures in aged care had been building for decades and the COVID-19 pandemic had stretched staff shortages even further.

“Now is the time for residents and aged care providers like NVC Group to show their support for aged care because we want older Australians to get the quality care they deserve,” she said.

“Staff at NVC Group have gone above and beyond to deliver care to residents during the most challenging of circumstances and they deserve better pay and career certainty.

“We are now one year on from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and yet we have not seen its key

workforce recommendations implemented.

“NVC Group is just managing to maintain its workforce due to a workforce development plan that promotes a ‘grow your own’ ethos.

“This includes a graduate year Registered Nurse program and attracting youth and job-changers to study at our NV College in Macksville.

“But the aged care industry in general is suffering from severe workforce shortages and now is the time to let our politicians know our industry and its people matter, by signing our industry’s petition.”

Coffs residents wishing to pledge their support for the It’s Time to Care About Aged Care campaign can visit NVC Group’s office in Suite 3, 38-40 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour.

Happy Boxes Project grows its reach

By Andrea FERRARI

THE opening of The Happy Hub in Coffs Harbour earlier in April gives The Happy Boxes Project, a not-for-profit organisation proudly founded on Gumbaynggirr land, a head office and home.

The Happy Boxes Project, which provides beautiful boxes of toiletries, sanitary items and self-care products to Indigenous women in remote communities, sees the launch as a new chapter for this vital organisation.

Acting as an administrative office, packing warehouse, and social space for local Aboriginal women to connect, The Happy Hub aims to triple the volunteer membership of The Happy Boxes Project which means they can reach 150 remote communities across Australia — more than double the 60 communities reached in 2021.

The space also means they can start a movement with Nyami Gawbarri, a culturally safe place with The Happy Hub for local Goori mothers to connect and attend free healing and self-care workshops centred around culturally appropriate maternity care.

Additionally, it will act as an additional way of generating revenue through hiring the space to local organisations or inviting local businesses to host employee volunteer days packing Happy

Boxes, for a donation fee.

“Communities already experienced delays in accessing goods and services due to unreliable supply chains, and COVID-19 added even more pressure,” said Joshua Maguire, Corporate Liaison at The Happy Boxes Project.

“For some remote Indigenous communities, the closest store can be up to 1000 kilometres away.

“Even if there is access to these stores, there is often a limited amount of products

available, and heavy price gouging is common.

“For example, our coordinators report seeing $27 for a pack of basic underwear and $30 for a tin of baby formula.”

During the lockdown periods, Happy Boxes coordinators could not deliver Happy Boxes due to restrictions and weren’t able to mobilise as many volunteers.

It also had to postpone packing events and fundraisers.

Both these programs are funded by the Australian Government, with services delivered by NVC Group in Coffs Harbour, to help elderly residents live well and remain in their own homes.

Recipients of the Commonwealth Home Support Program and Home Care packages can choose what services and supports they receive, based on their individual needs.

The types of support delivered by Tim Egan and NVC Group’s team includes helping elderly residents with housework, transport and garden maintenance, providing personal care and respite, helping with meals and food preparation, assisting with shopping and coordinating allied health services.

q Happy Boxes reaching Indigenous girls with beauty products and personal essentials.

Founder of The Happy Boxes Project, Emma Sullings, believes the barriers Indigenous women face in accessing basic hygiene items is unacceptable.

“To think of women in our own backyard going without staples such as tampons, shampoo, and toothpaste, or

being forced to pay exorbitant amounts of money for them, is a national disgrace,” says Emma.

“We need all Australians to be aware of the unfair disadvantage women face in remote communities and know that a seemingly small gesture like a Happy Box can

make a huge difference to the life of a young woman who may otherwise go without the daily items we take for granted.”

A Happy Box is a collection of toiletries and beauty products put together with care and sent to an Indigenous woman in a remote community.

It may include essential items such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, pads, tampons, and toothpaste or luxury selfcare items such as nail polish, make-up, perfume, candles, and hair accessories.

In 2021, despite the many challenges faced by the COVID-19 pandemic impacting supply chain, deliveries, and volunteer participation, The Happy Boxes Project compiled and sent more than 3000 Happy Boxes to Indigenous women across Australia.

Music in the Regions

By Andrea FERRARI

CORAMBA Community Hall welcomes international musicians in concert as part of the new touring organisation Music in the Regions (MitR).

Celebrated guitarist Andrew Blanch and harpist Emily Granger will pair up for ‘Suite mágica’, where the extraordinary combination of guitar and harp will bring a treat to the ears through a selection of works that delightfully demonstrate the unusual synergy of these much loved instruments.

MitR has been seed funded by Create NSW to extend the reach of classical music into regional areas, and to create opportunities for musicians and audiences while developing new touring routes and activating interesting new venues.

MitR will also co-host several community events.

For the Coffs Coast this sees Blanch and Granger joining Stephanie Sims’ Sawtell Ukulele group on 16 May. “The musicians will do a small performance for our group and there will be a workshop element to their visit,” Stephanie told News Of The Area.

“We try to include picking and ‘riffing’ in the Sawtell Ukulele Group repertoire, so help and suggestions from Andrew and Emily will be much appreciated.

“Then we will play some songs together to hear how the harp and guitar sound with the humble ukulele.”

Speaking about the tour, Emily Granger said, “Andrew and I are delighted to join forces with Music in the Regions to bring the unique

sounds of the classical harp and guitar to regional NSW. “We are both passionate about getting out of the urban centres to bring Sydney Opera House standards to regional community halls.

“Andrew and I have been collaborating for over two years since meeting at The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and have commissioned four new Australian works for our duo and have arranged classics

like Ravel and Granados.

“Our program is full of joy and virtuosity that we just cannot wait to hit the road and share with audiences in May.” MitR Executive Director Janine Collins said, “We are thrilled to bring this exceptionally talented duo to a range of unusual venues in spectacular locations along the NSW Mid North Coast such as a heritage community hall (Coramba), a historic church and even a golf club (Nambucca Heads).

“We are firmly committed

to facilitating unique performance opportunities for emerging and established classical musicians and chamber orchestras, especially after the significant impact to the music industry over the past two years caused by the pandemic.”

In a model that will be repeated in future programs across NSW, the musicians involved in 2022 will return to these same communities every year for the next three years.

This will help strengthen relationships with audiences,

extend opportunities for local artists and open the door for other musicians by establishing new touring routes throughout the state.

Andrew Blanch and Emily Granger will perform Suite mágica at Coramba Community Hall on Saturday 14 May at 2pm.

MitR is supported by the NSW Government via Create NSW, and through private philanthropy.

Made with Love Markets

By Andrea FERRARI

MOTHER’S Day is the theme of the upcoming Made with Love Markets in Coffs’ Park Beach Plaza.

While the last two years have been a challenge for us all, it seems Covid has had a positive impact on the making of – and demand for – handmade items.

“It’s been a challenge negotiating the various Covid restrictions over the past two years, but we managed to only cancel one market – back in May 2020,” Alison Paul, organiser of the Made with Love Market told News Of The Area. q

“What is interesting and quite surprising, is that the market has had crazy growth in this time.

“More stallholders, more customers – it seems that Covid has increased our love of handmade and locally made items.”

Today's consumer is moving away from massmade gifts and turning to handmade, crafted pieces for gifting, feeling a sense of community and buying from local handcrafters, feeling a connection with nature and seeking natural ingredients and materials.

The next market is the Mother’s Day market, Sunday

Handmade jewellery always makes an appealing gift.

1 May. Alison is confident it will be the first market free from any disruptions.

“The last market was the first one in two years without Covid restrictions, but then the floods hit – so we had a lot of last-minute cancellations.

“Visit Sunday’s market and you will not only find unique and quality handmade gifts for your mum, grandma or other special someone, you will also be supporting local families as you are purchasing directly from the maker.

“The market is the weekend before Mother’s Day, so it will be super easy to find something special for Mum.

THE Bello Roots Collective, born in Bellingen, by Bellingen locals, is launching its inaugural First Nations music festival in its hometown, featuring a world music line-up.

Hosted at Bellingen Showgrounds, Bello Roots Festival is on Saturday 14 May. “The concept is a family friendly, cultural, world music event that will have people dancing and connecting to culture at the same time,” Bellingen’s Alex Richardson, Bello Roots Festival’s Artistic Director told News Of The Area.

“Some of the musical acts are sharing thousands of years old lineages and traditions from their cultural roots – it will be unforgettable and nothing like anything anyone has ever seen before.”

The line-up has been carefully curated to both create an atmosphere that entertains but also shares deep cultural roots with the

audience.

Julian Belbachir, who has spent a lot of time in Bellingen and is familiar with and to the locals, is bringing a unique fusion of intertribal African music with an eight-piece band and the launch of his debut album, ‘Babdoukkala’, live to stage.

Within a couple of months of Joanne receiving the funds, Joanne has spent all of the money on gambling.

Mary is concerned about Joanne’s gambling and makes a new will, leaving her just 15% of her estate. She leaves the bulk of her estate to her grandchildren.

When Mary passes away a couple of years later, Joanne makes a claim on her estate. Joanne is 50 years of age, residing in a Housing Commission unit and has no significant assets other than a modest vehicle which is subject to a substantial car loan.

In assessing the merits of Joanne’s claim, the Court recognises that she received an early inheritance and takes this into consideration.

The Court also considers the financial position of Joanne’s siblings and the grandchildren, noting Mary’s wish to assist them financially in her will.

The Court does not view Joanne’s stealing conviction as relevant to her relationship with her mother and makes an order that Joanne receives one-third of Mary’s estate, together with the payment of the legal costs.

However, the Court views Joanne’s gambling as a serious problem and considers it appropriate to make further orders, to ensure that the funds are not wasted.

The Court orders that the NSW Trustee & Guardian is to hold Joanne’s one-third of the estate, on trust to apply up to $30,000 towards the purchase of a motor vehicle, up to $10,000 towards the purchase of furniture and appliances and for the balance to be held by the NSW Trustee & Guardian to be applied at its discretion towards Joanne’s support and welfare.

DEAR Jasminda,

WE live on a battle axe block and are the last house, with several dwellings in front.

The front block residents have allowed a political billboard to be placed in the common area and it is for a party that we most definitely do not want to be associated with.

What can we do?

Gerard B. Dear Gerard,

Who are the National Party supporting?

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE face of the National Party is Barnaby Joyce.

His underlings chose him as leader and one assumes they did so because they support his views.

In 2019 Barnaby Joyce said he was “sick of the government being in his life”.

And yet, he was quite happy for government money to be in his life.

He was happy for government money to pay his nine month travel bills of $675,000 for the time he travelled around as “drought envoy”.

He is happy now for government money to be used on election promises such as the $1.5 billion of government money for a new port in Darwin.

He is also happy for the government to be in the lives of those earning more than $200,000 a year by securing them a tax break bigger than anything offered to people on the lowest incomes.

So, I ask, just whose lives are the National Party happy for the government to

keep out of?

Is it the aged, for whom services are continually underfunded by this government?

Is it those searching for work who they are happy to keep on a benefit that has them living below the poverty line?

Is it the Australians on an aged pension who National Party MPs boast are so much better off after recent budget promises give them a pathetic $1.37 a day extra?

There are many sound reasons why a society needs government in their lives.

Responsible governments develop sound policies to protect our environment, deliver good health care, provide adequate resources for the aged, quality education, fairness, justice and opportunities for economic development to name but a few of the critical things civilised societies value.

Given that the National Party supports a leader who wants the government “out of our lives”, perhaps we should get the National Party out of our government.

Regards, Judith FLEMING, Sawtell.

Woolgoolga War Memorial Restoration DEAR News Of The Area, FURTHER to the Woolgoolga War Memorial, I see on the Woolgoolga Master Plan, that a spot has been identified for a war memorial.

I understand a recent professional report advises that the old WW1 War memorial building blocks are in reasonable condition, and could be safely rebuilt.

DVA will almost certainly provide the funds to rebuild the old memorial, or, even, to build a new one.

Although Council advises that there are

26 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

no Council plans to take any action on the war memorial for the next five years, it seems to me that if the spot has been identified, the Government funds, via DVA, will almost certainly be provided, and I’m sure the Woolgoolga War Memorial Restoration Group is ready to swing into action, then the Council should revisit the development plan to bring forward the rebuild of the old WW1 War Memorial, or build a new modern one.

Council involvement would be merely an overview or administrative one, thus there will be minimal impact to existing Council

media@newsofthearea.com.au

I AM now intrigued as to which party you are referring to.

Is it a party whose current leader is conducting his political ambitions via Zoom with his dog Toto?

Is it the party whose leader may know the (dubiously defined) unemployment rate, but should stop misusing the word 'blessed'?

Is it the party whose leader knows a thing or two about battered hake, and throws around the phrase 'left wing virtue signalling' quicker than you could order a side of chips?

Is it the party whose leader makes obscure Twitter references to celebrating marijuana consumption while eating kebabs?

Or is it a new independent party, with a budget that only allows for a few strategically placed billboards in remote areas?

Regardless, I have a question for you about this common area allegedly displaying an offensive political sign.

Do you assist your neighbour to maintain this common area?

Do you have a roster of who gets to trim the grass around the letter boxes and water meter?

Or do you leave this role entirely to your neighbour, in fact showing little interest unless it is to collect your mail or position your bin?

If it is the latter, I think it would be impolite to start throwing around your opinions in relation to any improvements or distractions, political or otherwise.

If, much like our political parties, you only show an interest when it directly affects your current needs, I think you should just keep quiet, and perhaps reflect on the requirement for ongoing attention and maintenance.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

resources, both human and technical.

Why is the Council procrastinating over this decision?

The town is in danger of losing a tangible reminder of the ultimate sacrifice local people gave in defence of this nation.

To rebuild it by 11/11/2022 would be quite fitting.

Regards, Peter WEYLING, Corindi Beach.

Pothole Plague DEAR News Of The Area,

I BELIEVE Coffs Harbour would have more potholes than any other major town

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

OPINION

media@newsofthearea.com.au

in Australia and they always appear after any major weather event.

In a recent rain event they had to shut Stadium

drive, not for the first time and a friend who knows a tow truck driver said he was called twelve times due to major tyre and front end damage to cars that hit a large deep hole in Orlando Street.

The Council’s band-aid solution is to refill the holes with hot mix.

Maybe a law firm should start a class action against the Council for costs incurred by the poor motorists as this may be the only way they

would actually resurface the roads properly.

I am sure most residents would rather the council spend money on fixing the roads rather than waste it on the council chambers.

If Nationals are not reflecting community views, have your say DEAR News Of The Area, COLIN Grant may consider the Nationals have lost their roots (‘When did the National Party lose its roots?’, p29, Coffs Coast NOTA, 8 April Edition) but

any party can only reflect the views of their members.

If Colin feels the Nationals are not reflecting the views of the community, has he considered becoming a member where he can have his say on the

direction and policies?

Party members have regular direct liaison with State and Federal members and can express their opinion on any bills coming before the parliaments.

It is also worth being aware that in NSW the Nationals are a completely independent party to the Liberals and agree to a coalition to form government.

A coalition means that the two parties need to reach agreement on many topics and like any

democratic system you do not always get your own way.

Draft legislation may not always be 100 percent in line with the policies of the Nationals, but can be amended prior to voting to more closely align with the views of the regional community the Nationals

What grows well now for winter?

By Fiona MORGAN

HELLO to any new food gardeners.

Welcome to the family!

A bit of housekeeping to begin...

Please, stop planting corn!

And for that matter, please stop planting pumpkin, tomato, capsicum, eggplant, zucchini, chilli, beans, okra and basil.

These are all warm season plants.

If you have these seeds, congratulations, you are all set for spring.

They won’t grow and feed you now.

Welcome to seasonal, local food.

You can plant potatoes now and through June and after that it will be too hot for them as they attempt to mature.

If you get Italian garlic in right away you should be alright, before April 25 is best.

Russian garlic can go in two weeks later.

You might get away with cherry tomato seedlings, not the big tomatoes.

There are self sown ones going bonkers in my garden right now.

They won’t produce once winter really hits ie from mid June.

What to plant now?

Plant what you like to eat!

It helps with getting used to using what you grow.

Plus there’s no motivation to do the daily check-in for food you don’t know or don’t like.

Easy to grow here for winter • Broadbeans; eat the beans in Sept / Oct and the leaves anytime • Snowpeas; and peas if you’re in a colder patch • Radish; including daikon • Silverbeet and chard.

• Kale; you kale lovers will be pleased to hear this stuff is so hardy it would survive a nuclear winter.

• Cabbage; may be a challenge for beginners but the leaves are edible even if you don’t get a proper cabbage head • Asian greens; pak choy, bok choy, gai choy, choy sum, wombok, Chinese broccoli, Japanese spinach • Rocket • Lettuce; all kinds, butter, mustards, wasabi, tatsoi • Spring onion, chives; way easier and way quicker than onions

Humane solutions for refugees and asylum seekers DEAR News Of The Area,

SOMETIMES we feel helpless to counter the suffering of so many people in our world.

In the upcoming election we have an opportunity to help refugees and asylum seekers who have experienced injustice and

cruelty due to the policies of the current government.

We can help right this injustice by considering the policies of the candidates in our upcoming Federal Election and voting for a candidate whose policies include: -Treating refugees and asylum seekers with fairness and humanity.

Ending offshore detention for people

seeking safety.

-Offering permanent protection to genuine refugees, helping them to rebuild their lives so they can contribute to our society.

I will vote 1 for Caz Heise whose policies support humane solutions.

Regards, Georgina SPINAZE, Mylestom.

• Coriander; this is the best time of year for it!

Not for beginners Most of the chunky fruiting vegetables are just harder to grow well than the leafy ones.

You can give these a go, it’s their season over the cool months, but don’t expect

THE major political parties think elections are 'party time'.

Some of the lollies are old because they were still in the lolly bag from the last election.

Does a high-speed rail line ring any bells?

The cost of the lolly bag is growing every day.

Some places get more lollies than others.

For example, the National and Liberal Parties have already promised lollies in Queensland worth four times more than the lollies for NSW. $12.6 billion dollars for Queensland and $3.3 billion

Not someone who has to get another party to agree first.

Don’t forget that a vote for the National Party is a vote for Scott Morrison.

Is that what we really want, more of the same?

It’s a worry that here on

Handing out lollies to buy votes is not responsible spending.

It undermines democracy because it is allowing publicly funded bribery.

We can do so much better than this and yet the political Parties continue to be fixated on their futures, not ours.

Contact Us Today for Inclusion into this Paper

SELDOM do we come across a home of these proportions.

Designed with the family in mind this five-bedroom home offers space for every member of the family.

Built in 2008, so only fourteen years young, the home contains all of those little extras you could only dream about now with the present cost of building.

The kitchen is a chef's delight with bench-space galore, four burner gas cooktop, blanco rangehood, Electrolux pyrolytic oven and Bosch dishwasher, along with a huge corner pantry for all of the supplies.

Living area abounds, with formal living at the front, informal at the rear, and another additional living area, designed for the kids, that accesses three of the bedrooms directly.

If three large living areas aren’t enough for you, there is even a huge, approved, covered outdoor entertaining area at the rear offering over 30 square metres of undercover fun.

It’s also the perfect spot to sit and watch the kids play in the level backyard.

The main bedroom is definitely suite sized with an extra-large walk-in robe, giving you that resort feeling whilst the ensuite ensures you never have to share the bathroom.

Bedrooms two, three and four, which run off the activity room are also generously sized with the added bonus of built-in robes.

The fifth bedroom/study is located off the entry foyer, making it perfect for either working from home, or visitors room.

Located in a popular residential enclave surrounded on three sides

by National Park but less than 3km from the ever-desirable Sawtell Beach, it indeed offers the best of both worlds from beach to bush.

The family friendliness of the property continues with its close proximity to both primary and secondary schools, private and public and regional shopping centres all close by.

Certainly, one of those homes that ticks the boxes for the growing family, or the family that has outgrown its current lodgings.

Ring today for an appointment.

Parkinson’s online singing program

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Sing and Speak Online Parkinson’s Voice Program has sprung from the Coffs Coast founded face-to-face Parkinson’s Voice Project.

After its original development by Parkinson’s nurse Vince Carroll and local registered music therapist Bonnie Nilsson, the Parkinson’s Voice Project won the 2021 Mid North Coast Health Innovation Award for keeping people healthy, when Covid inspired the founders to launch the program into an online format.

Twelve months on and ‘Sing and Speak Online Parkinson’s

Voice Program’ is now delivering sessions beyond our local area, including in Sydney, Newcastle, Central Coast, Tenterfield and Toowoomba, after Parkinson’s NSW endorsed the program and advertised it further afield.

With the inclusion of Valla Beach speech pathologist Sally Ireland, evidenced based Sing and Speak sessions are now conducted each term for a period of eight weeks.

Bonnie Nilsson told News Of The Area, “Your vocal muscles need exercise, just like any other group of muscles in your body.

“Being able to communicate with others

is essential to a happy and healthy life.

“However, Parkinson's Disease makes all avenues of communication tough.

“It affects the volume, tone, rhythm and speed of speech.

“That is why singing as a therapeutic intervention is becoming one of the most widely recommended treatment paths for those struggling with this disease as it addresses all of these together.”

Mai McCann Helps Hearing Impaired Children

MAI McCann is a trained nurse with hearing impairment who helps others.

An Australian citizen of Irish descent, Ms McCann set up a centre to support children suffering from hearing loss in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Ms McCann was touched by the plight of these children who receive no government support, and in 2008 set up a centre to give them an education and help them acquire the special skills needed to live with deafness.

Her foundation ‘Hearing and Beyond in Vietnam’ is run by volunteer teachers and helpers.

It relies totally on

donations and is one of the causes supported by the Rotary Club of Bellingen.

Ms McCann was a guest at the Club’s latest meeting as she is currently in Australia on a fundraising mission and called in to Bellingen to thank the Club for its support.

Club President Jim Phipps said the club is pleased to help such an amazing lady who is dedicated to helping others.

He said the centre is in need of help more than ever because of Covid-19, which has dried up donations.

Mr Phipps said Ms McCann commutes between Vietnam and Australia and earns enough money in Australia to fund a school for hearing

impaired children because it is difficult for them to access conventional schools.

He said, “It’s quite amazing what she’s doing.

“She provides a service for those children that they would never be able to have otherwise.”

Hearing aids are expensive but unfortunately donations in kind are not appropriate because adult hearing aids are no use for children.

People who wish to help can donate directly to the foundation or through the Rotary Club of Bellingen, P.O. Box 56, Bellingen, NSW 2454.

Lifeline, suicide and solutions

By Andrea FERRARI

“LAST night,” said Angela Martin, the Communications and Community Engagement Manager for Lifeline North Coast, “I was candidly asked by an acquaintance why I love my job at Lifeline and how can I deal with the topic of suicide and mental health daily.”

It’s a regular question Angela gets asked, and her answer is always the same genuine reply.

“I get the opportunity to be a part of an organisation that’s main objective is to ease someone’s emotional distress and prevent suicide, to actively campaign, fundraise and strategise ways in how to ensure we provide the most up to date services and support that reach those who need our help - whether it’s our 13 11 14 crisis phone line, or having

our team of crisis supporters and counsellors available to a group who have been impacted by suicide.

“I sit with decision makers, volunteers, community members and I listen, I ask questions and then converse with my incredible team on how we can help, how we can act to prevent more suicides, how to ease more distress, and how we can

find more volunteers to answer our phone lines.

“Everyone has a purpose in life, and I’ve found mine.

“I nearly lost my own child to suicide; I was raised in a family that experienced mental health breakdowns and I want to be part of a solution to normalise asking for help and reducing stigma attached to suicide and help make a difference in my own community.

“This is my ‘why?’.”

Join the Coffs hospital volunteers

By Andrea FERRARI

BRIGHTENING someone’s day, using your skills to help others and making friends while you work is what you’ll get out of volunteering at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus.

Coffs’ hospital is keenly seeking more volunteers as numbers have dwindled through the pandemic, specifically requiring team members for the Coffs Harbour Pink Ladies or Coffs Harbour General Volunteers.

Both groups do an amazing job at the hospital, from manning the General Volunteers’ enquiries desk to serving coffee and meals at the Pink Ladies Café.

“Our volunteers are awesome,” said Facility Support Manager Jo Shaw.

“They help visitors, unfamiliar with the

hospital layout, to their destination, they run the Pink Ladies Shop where visitors can grab a gift for a loved one or buy necessities, and they are always there with a helping hand or compassionate smile when visitors and staff need it most,” Jo said.

There is even an opportunity to learn how to become a barista in the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute cafe.

“We provide the training free, and volunteers will absolutely brighten the day of our cancer patients and their loved ones.

“The hospital has missed its volunteers over the past two years, and while some areas of the hospital are still not able to have volunteers due to COVID-19 precautions, we want to start rebuilding our volunteer base.”

Campus.

She is a 41-year-standing volunteer and Pink Lady, working volumes of hours at the hospital’s café.

Recently named overall NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year 2021, in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the Coffs Harbour community, Helen told News Of The Area, “I can’t stay away, I just enjoy it so much.

“I love shopping for the gift shop, making sure supplies of essentials are all in stock, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes and lollies, books and magazines,” she enthuses.

“We meet both patients and staff in the gift shop and the Pink Ladies Café.”

Volunteering sees the ladies making sandwiches out the back, making toasties

and brewing teas and coffees.

“We’re hoping we can reopen the hospital’s Cancer Institute coffee shop down near BreastScreen, which has been closed through lack of volunteers.

“We have the coffee machine there so we would love a barista volunteer; we have access to Artisti, the local coffee business, they are very kind to us and will give volunteers a barista course so they can use the machine in the café.”

Jo Shaw encourages, “Anyone who cares about their community can be a volunteer – your new friends will buddy up with you to show you what to do.”

systems.”

Asking for help can be one of the best ways to overcome a variety of problems.

The Neighbourhood Centre is one of those places where anyone is welcome to pop in, whether it’s just to check where to go or what services are available for their situation.

“Being willing to ask for help often shows strength and courage and can make finding what might help you much less frustrating.

“Having financial stress is a common trigger for anxiety and depression,” said Di. It’s important to find out what your options are.

“Many families, especially with the increased cost of local rentals, large or unexpected costs such as car rego, medical or dental costs, the washing machine breaking down can put strain on the family budget.

“For times when people find it difficult to meet costs that come up, services such as No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS), which is located within CHNC, can be a useful option.”

NILS provides people on low incomes with access to safe, fair and affordable credit.

“NILS loans may be provided for amounts up to $1,500 for certain expenses.

“The benefit is that there are no fees, no charges, no interest and no credit checks.

“While there are some eligibility options, this may be an option for you.”

A long term no-fee loan can sometimes be a much better option than reaching for a credit card or other loan option.

“As well as offering a way to pay for essential household items, these affordable loans may help you to establish a repayment record to assist in future financial situations.”

Anne, who operates NILS, has helped hundreds of families over many years.

By Andrea FERRARI WITH increasing numbers of distressed people in Coffs, the Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC) is urging people to pop by and ask for help if they need it.

A little light weeding for Earth Day

By Andrea FERRARI

WITH Earth Day 2022 (Friday 22 April) in mind, Landcare is focusing on why we need to spend time weeding and why weeds are unwanted.

"What are weeds?”

Barry Powells, President, Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare rhetorically posed to News Of The Area.

“The general definition of a weed is simply any plant growing where it is not wanted.

“They can be plants introduced from another country, either intentionally or by accident.

“Some weeds can be native plants removed from their natural environment and become unwanted by thriving in their new environment either in Australia or overseas.”

Weeds can be found virtually anywhere from cropping and grazing farms, lawns, vegetable and flower gardens, sporting fields, golf courses, national parks, forests and waterways.

The Australian landscape is under increasing pressure as weeds continue to spread

to new areas while many continue to thrive in existing environments.

This can be partly explained by increased land clearing for agriculture and housing needs and also by natural causes such as fire, floods and droughts.

Weeds are often very

resilient and can adapt to new environments very successfully and grow where more desirable species cannot.

Weeds generally have rapid rates of reproduction with seeds able to spread very successfully by wind, water, on animals, vehicles and humans.

Some have very attractive flowers and can

be spread unintentionally by keen gardeners.

Coffs Harbour Landcare’s vision is to provide leadership and advocacy to not only their volunteers but also all land managers and the wider community to help improve the resilience and adaptability of our natural environment.

“Weeds of many kinds are a major problem for all Landcarers, be they local gardeners or farmers.

“Being very opportunistic, weeds are often the first plant to show up on any bare ground, disturbed soil or where

An umpires view of cricket at Sikh Games

By Aiden BURGESS

IT is often stated by cricket umpires that they watch the game from the best seat in the ground.

Such was the case on the Easter weekend when members of the Coffs Harbour Cricket Umpires Association were invited to officiate at the games played by visiting teams which played in the Sikh Cricket Tournament, organised by local Indian cricket identity and legend Arrun.

Each game was played for only sixteen overs, with eight batting overs for each side, and there were quite a few not so ‘traditional' rules such as wides or no-balls adding four runs to the batting score.

Each side fielded only eight players, leaving a lot of ground to be covered by each fielder.

Of course, the playing conditions were less than satisfactory with very wet playing surfaces and rain showers interrupting play quite often.

Doust

was

one of the umpires who officiated the cricket competition at the Sikh Games, and explained to News Of The Area the aggressive hitting which was a feature.

“One might have expected quick running between wickets but, in typical Indian laid-back style, the batters found it more convenient to hit boundaries rather than waste energy running up and down that 22 yards (20.1 metres),” he said, “In the four short games played at Maclean Street on Friday there were seventyone times that the ball flew over the boundary for six runs with the umpire becoming quite fatigued raising his arms to signal each six.

“With retirement for each batter set at 30 runs it was exciting to see batsmen take a single or two and then hit five sixes in a row to reach the retirement score, or to watch a ball hit from Reg Ryan Oval and disappear in the yard of a villa two houses east of the ground!”

Doust also said he

couldn’t ascertain what the players were trying to express.

“It was also very difficult for umpires to ascertain what was being said on the field as most of the animated discussions were in the Indian language,” he said.

“This may have been

a relief to umpires as they had no idea whether decisions were being disputed or there was a team disagreement.”

After three days of experiencing exciting hitting, skilful bowling and good humour each of the umpires, Gary Campbell, Ted Bailey, Bruce Alp, Kevin

more desirable species are not thriving.

“A good local example can be seen in many lawns where continued rainfall has led to saturated soil, resulting in the appearance of moisture-loving species such as various sedges and less vigorous lawns.”

There are over 300 local Landcarers who volunteer on over 40 sites throughout the city with most focusing on some form of weed removal.

Priority weeds are many but generally Lantana, Cassia, Bitou Bush, Mother of Millions, Painted Spurge and vine weeds, Morning

Glory, Mile a Minute and the toxic Glory Lily are the main targets.

Removing these weeds gives native plants a far better chance to grow and produce a canopy over the ground to help shade out future weed growth.

“Removing weeds can be hard work but all Landcare volunteers love their work and get great satisfaction seeing healthy local species replacing weeds,” said Barry.

Northern Storm down Boambee

By David WIGLEY

NORTHERN Storm chalked up their first win of the Coastal Premier League season with a 2-1 win over cross town rivals Boambee FC. Following a washed out Easter weekend, the Round 3 match was rescheduled to mid week on the synthetic fields.

The Storm opened the scoring when Tom Sweeny burst down the right wing and struck the ball across the face of the goal for Tayne De

Nardis to tap in.

Ten minutes later Campbell Brear’s immaculate first touch and swivel created space for a penetrating run followed by a slide rule pass for Bradey Megarry to slot home and double the lead.

Boambee launched a second half comeback and pulled a goal back but it wasn’t enough as the Northern Storm took all three points.

Northern Storm cocoach Craig Caruana was pleased with the first half performance that set up the

victory.

“Very pleased with the first half, I thought we outplayed them and created plenty of opportunities and probably should have more than a two goal lead.

“Second half Boambee, as they always are, were up for the fight and we had to dig deep in the second half to grind out the win.

“We made it hard on ourselves “We did a lot of good things but we need to do them for longer periods of the game if we want to compete with the top teams,” said Craig.

Group 2 Kicks Off With A Bang

By David WIGLEY

SAM Burgess enjoyed a triumphant coaching debut as Group 2 Rugby League kicked off the 2022 season with a bang.

Thousands of supporters flocked to the opening matches to cheer on their teams, with Burgess' Orara Valley Axemen chopping down the Sawtell Panthers 58-4 in Sunday's most impressive performance.

The former South Sydney Rabbitohs superstar and England captain has played a key part in the resurrection of the Axemen after a two-year absence from the Group 2 competition.

Since moving to the region Burgess has immersed himself in the local

community and grassroots football, the place where he fell in love with the game.

He told News Of The Area that's why he took the job and applauded the vibrant family atmosphere at the ground.

"It's great isn't it," the Rabbitohs' 2014 grand final hero said after Sunday's entertaining and actionpacked match.

There was plenty for fans to cheer about at Rex Hardaker Oval.

"It's great. That was my goal before I came here.

“It's not just about the Axemen and doing well with them but creating more atmosphere in country rugby league because sometimes it can be neglected.

"Today is a great example of what it can be like.

q Orara Valley Axemen kicked off the Group 2 season with a bang, defeating the Sawtell Panthers 56-4.

“It's just good to see the fans, it's good for the community, a lot of families down here, a lot of kids running around.

"There was excitement for both clubs today.

“It's a family game and that's one of the main reasons I took the job, and the football is a bonus."

After weeks of wet weather, Burgess suggested the parting of the clouds could be an ominous sign for things to come.

"The clouds opened for us which is good, some people said that was a sign," said the former dual England international.

"I must commend Sawtell - the pitch has held up really well.

“They've been really accommodating. "(Sawtell coach) Clint Greenshields has been really

easy to work with so it should be a good year."

Although the Panthers have been unable to raise a first grade team for three years, hundreds of Sawtell supporters returned to Rex Hardaker Oval to cheer on their side's attack right up to the final whistle.

The Panthers have a proud history in Group 2, a club Locky Miller captained before his move to the national sevens rugby team and then to the NRL's Cronulla Sharks this year.

Despite his club's comprehensive opening round defeat, Panthers president Peter Barrett welcomed the buoyant atmosphere that has been sorely missed at their home ground as the club enters a rebuilding phase.

"The vibe in the air was enormous no matter what the score," Barrett said.

"Sawtell supporters voted with their feet how proud they are to see their teams

www.newsofthearea.com.au “I made a good birdie on 14 and 15 and I assumed the lead might be nine at that point.

“I kind of knew it was in my hands.

“I’m stunned with the level of support I have here, and it was such an amazing reaction when that putt dropped on the last (hole).

“I wasn’t that worried about my approach to the last because I knew there

was scope to miss if it came undone and I knew I had to make a birdie to get home.

“The eagle putt wasn’t overly bold, but I was pretty nervous over that last little four-footer.

“I was pretty relieved to see that go in and yeah, that noise was fantastic.

“I love playing here, it really feels like home to me and somehow brings out my best.”

As the final whistle blew in Sawtell, defending Ladies Tag premiers the Coffs Harbour Comets kicked off against the Woolgoolga Seahorses and maintained their two-year unbeaten record with an endto-end 16-0 victory.

The first grade derby match at Geoff King Motors Oval also started with ‘The Last Post’ and a minute’s silence, with the words ‘Lest We Forget’ resonating around the ground on ANZAC Day eve.

The Comets defeated the Seahorses 22-12 in a high intensity men's first grade encounter that had the crowd on their feet from the first minute.

The match started at a blistering pace as the Seahorses opened the scoring against a shell-shocked Comets, whose troubles were compounded by a player given ten minutes in the sin

bin.

But the Comets bounced back to score three tries in the first half to go into the sheds with an 18-6 halftime lead that they would never relinquish.

Former Golden Boot World Player of the Year, Greg Inglis, reunited with the Macksville Sea Eagles, the team he represented as a junior.

Inglis was introduced into the game after 30 minutes and despite conceding the first try the Sea Eagles got stronger as the game wore on and dominated the second half for a comprehensive 42-6 win.

The Grafton Ghosts reigned supreme in the derby against cross town rivals the Grafton Rebels with a solid 42-4 victory.

If round one is anything to go by, 2022 is going to be a huge year for Group 2 as big names and big crowds propel country rugby league onwards and upwards. q A big home crowd cheered on the Panthers.

Breakers brilliant in opening round win against Saints

By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour Breakers have shown they could be the team to beat again this year, starting their AFL North Coast season with a dominant 19.13 (127) to 6.7 (43) victory against the Sawtell/Toormina Saints. q Players contest the ruck contest.

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area q Coffs Harbour Breakers and Sawtell/Toormina Saints players pay their respects during the ANZAC round.

After finishing as minor premiers last season, the Breakers picked up where they left off last year with an 84-point win against the Saints in their local derby.

The Breakers had all the early running and took a 10-point lead into quarter time.

The Breakers asserted their authority over the next two quarters to take a 59-point lead into three quarter time.

Coffs Harbour Breakers coach Ben Watson was pleased with his side's opening round win and the return of Aussie Rules to the region.

“I was very pleased that even though there were tough conditions we were able to still play football, that was important for both clubs, so I'm thankful to the council for that,” he said.

“Given the conditions I thought my players put a lot of our practice and plans into the game and we still played an attractive brand for all the people

www.newsofthearea.com.au

that came out to watch us.”

The Breakers coach explained how his side came away with a convincing win.

“I was quite surprised with our run throughout the whole game but we went in with what I thought was a good rotation strategy and my support cast managed that great and was probably part of the reason,” he said.

“Sawtell looked like they were blooding a lot of young guys which is great to see, and they will be a force for years to come, although the difference in experience was probably the difference on the day.

“But I couldn’t fault any of my guys as we had 22 contributors.”

Coffs go-karter out-paces the field in Canberra

By Sam PARKER

COFFS Harbour gokart ace Seth Brown has impressed at the ACT state championships, held at Mark Webber Circuit in Canberra last weekend.

The talented youngster was crowned champion in the junior restricted division after qualifying on pole, then cruising to victory in all heats and the final.

He said that he and his kart performed seamlessly throughout the tournament.

“It was good because we won by such a long margin, no one passed us at all.

“We just drove away, and it was just a good feeling to win without any worries.”

Brown then stepped up to the harder junior performance division where he said competition was fierce.

“There were some really good racers that are always

up there, three-time state champions competing as well.

“It was just really competitive and close.”

Unfortunately, the final didn’t go to plan as a kart q Seth Brown shows off his exploits from the ACT state titles.

Anyone who appreciates a nature documentary knows you can’t go past Sir David Attenborough’s treasure trove of offerings. With a career spanning more than seven decades of hosting, producing and writing natural history programs, the 95-year-old British national treasure is a feat of nature himself. In this latest series, it’s all about how our animal counterparts romance each other – or not – and keep their species going for another generation. In an episode which focuses on the wildlife of the oceans, we are privy to some of the most innovative and ingenious mating methods of all.

Twelve seasons in, the Reagan clan of New York City cops are like family to loyal viewers.

While not everyone would be thrilled to have the New York Police Commissioner as their father, there are many would give an arm or a leg to have the moustachioed Frank (Tom Selleck) as their dependable, morally superior father; if you’re in a scrape, he can be counted on for sage, upstanding advice. In “Tangled Up in Blue”, tune in to see how the drama unfolds – and Frank reacts – when Jamie (Will Estes) is caught driving under the influence after unknowingly being given drugs at a party. Meanwhile, Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is stalked by a recently released prisoner.

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH’S THE MATING GAME

SUNDAY

LIFE

ABC, 9.25pm

“Sometimes life happens, and you just have to deal with it,” declares 70-year-old Gail (Alison Steadman) in this moving series. Every frame in this drama is infused with searingly relatable, yet surprising and poignant moments. Last week’s premiere set the stage for the compelling characters, and now their stories begin to unfurl and tug harder at the heartstrings. While Gail’s faithfulness to Henry is tested, Andy (Calvin Demba) is at a crossroads with his and Hannah’s (Melissa Johns) baby.At times it’s almost too emotional to take.

By Andrea FERRARI INTERNATIONAL pro golf tour players from over 30 countries converged on the Coffs Coast’s Bonville Golf Resort for the Australian Women’s Classic from 22-24 April 2022.

“The team at Bonville delivered another super successful event and huge congratulations must go to Course Superintendent Aaron Banks and his team of greenkeepers, who managed to prepare the golf course under difficult circumstances

given the rain this year,” said Christopher Winn, Group Marketing Director, Bonville Golf Resort.

After its 2021 postponement, this drawcard major event, co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and WPGA, and backed by the NSW State Government, is a significant positive step towards the return of major international visitation to the North Coast.

For the team at Bonville Golf Resort the event delivers opportunities to introduce visiting players to the natural beauty of the area.
