funerals, no restrictions on singing including in places of worship, no restrictions on dancing including at weddings and in pubs and nightclubs, no caps on visitor numbers in your home (if there is more than 100 people a COVID-19 Safety Plan and electronic recording of visitors must be in place).

Up to 200 people are now allowed at personal outdoor public gatherings, all venues can now move to the one person per two sqm rule (venues will be allowed at least 25 people before the two sqm rule applies), 100 percent seated capacity is now permitted at entertainment venues including stadiums and theatres, and face mask use including on public transport will move from ‘mandatory’ to ‘strongly recommended’.

Businesses and other organisations must continue to ensure they keep accurate records of all attendances, including through QR Codes, to enable fast contact tracing in the event of any community transmission.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the easing of restrictions was a significant step forward as NSW continues its COVID-19 recovery.

“With no community transmission and our quarantine and frontline workers now receiving their second vaccinations, the timing is right to further ease restrictions across the

“As we do this, it is important we don’t let our guard down and continue to check in at venues, keep our social distance and get tested if we have even the mildest of symptoms.”

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the further lifting of restrictions would help support businesses and jobs across the State.

“Today we take another big stride in the right direction, easing restrictions is important in helping businesses return to normal, it’s

like a jab of confidence for the economy,” Mr Perrottet said.

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the further easing of restrictions was possible due to the support and sacrifices of the people of NSW. “The initial focus of our vaccination program on frontline quarantine, border and healthcare workers has also given us greater confidence as it reduces the risk of COVID being introduced into the community from an overseas source,” Mr Hazzard said.

NSW Health Chief Health

Officer Dr Kerry Chant said it was critical that everyone continued to practise COVID-safe behaviours, including using QR codes, staying home if unwell and getting tested.

“I also urge everyone to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible and able to do so,” Dr Chant said.

“It will not only protect you, your family and loved ones, but will keep the whole community safe.”

Surfers hit the water for ‘Chook’ at the Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic

q Sawtell Boardriders juniors Josiah Baldwin, Rio Luther-Barr, Hendrix Lewis, Harper McIntosh, and Fletcher O’Sullivan enjoy the Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic.

By Aiden BURGESS SURFERS from the Coffs Coast and beyond hit the waves for a great cause during the 21st running of the Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic at Sawtell Main Beach.

The annual event raises money for a different recipient each year chosen by Barney Miller, with the recipient having suffered a lifechanging spinal injury.

This year’s recipient was Matty ‘Chook’ Clarke; a Moonee Beach local who had a tragic surfing accident in 2019 which left

him paralysed.

After last year’s event was cancelled due to the initial outbreak of COVID-19, one year on and Sawtell Boardriders president Nathan Begley said the community had once again embraced one of the iconic events on the Coffs Coast calendar.

“The numbers were really good and it was a really strong showing in surfers and sponsors,” he said.

“It was a really good endeavour to have something after COVID, and the local community responded well to it.

“It’s been a staple of the community for over two decades, and it’s great to be back after a year off as it gives local and non-local surfers a chance to compete at a higher level.

“This event always draws a high level

of competition, including exprofessionals in the line-up.”

After the recent wet weather, Begley told News Of The Area the surfers had enjoyed ideal conditions.

“The surf has been fantastic with a light breeze all weekend,” he said.

“It’s rare when there are clean conditions and beautiful sun.

“It was a perfect juxtaposition compared to last week’s weather and it was great.”

Sawtell Boardriders junior Harper McIntosh was one of the surfers to compete at this year’s Classic.

The 11-year-old was taking part in his fourth Classic, and had made a good start to this year’s event.

“I qualified for Sunday’s final on Friday, it’s one of the best I’ve surfed in a comp,” he said.

“Hopefully I can win, but there’s good competition from surfers like my mates.”

q Joey Thompson, Bobby Thompson, Avalon Enfield, Jack Swan, and Archie Branch watch the surfing from the beach.

POLICE are appealing for public assistance to locate a man missing from the Coffs/Clarence Police District.

Malcolm McPhail, aged 83, was last seen at his house on Bowraville Road, Spickett’s Creek - near Bellingen – about 8am Tuesday 30 March 2021.

He was reported missing to officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District and has not been seen or heard from since.

Police and family hold concerns for his welfare due to having a medical condition.

Malcolm is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall, with a thin build, and grey hair.

He may be wearing a green jumper, navy long pants, gum boots and a cap.

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Malcolm is asked to contact police at Coffs/Clarence Police District. This information is up-to-date as from Wednesday 31 March, 2.00pm.

Celebrate local seniors LOCALS can nominate seniors who help make the Coffs Coast an inspiring place to live in the 2021 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said this local awards program celebrates the work and achievements of Coffs Coast seniors who make us proud every day.

“Seniors have gone above and beyond for our community as volunteers, carers and role models in a challenging year where our State has faced bushfires, floods, drought and a health pandemic,” Mr Singh said.

“If you know a senior who helps make our community a better place to live, then I

encourage you to nominate them.”

The Coffs Harbour Electorate awards program is part of a busy schedule of statewide events for the 2021 NSW Seniors Festival, which runs from 13 to 24 April.

It’s the largest seniors festival in the southern hemisphere and enables older people to engage with each other, their community, ageing services and relevant businesses.

Minister for Seniors Geoff Lee said the festival and the awards highlight the important role seniors play in our community.

“This annual festival is about

celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society,” Mr Lee said.

“These initiatives are a great opportunity for communities to celebrate their seniors and all the fantastic work they do for the Coffs Coast.”

Winners of the Coffs Harbour Electorate Local Achievement Awards will be announced during next month’s NSW Seniors Festival.

Nomination forms are available at, and must be returned to, Mr Singh’s electorate office, Suite 1/9 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour.

Nominations close on Monday, 12 April.

Be Heard Youth Survey q Young people as individuals, in school groups, sports teams or youth groups and community organisations are encouraged to complete the survey.

BE Heard Mission Australia’s 2021 Youth Survey is open and aims to gain an understanding of the issues facing young people in our area.

If you are aged fifteen to nineteen, Mission Australia is asking you to join other young people across NSW and nationwide to have their say.

As this age group covers non-voting age it is a unique opportunity and critical that their needs, concerns and aspirations are captured.

Celebrating its 20th year, the Youth Survey is the largest online survey of its kind and provides important insights into the experiences and views of young people.

Last year the Youth Survey was completed by more than 25,800 young people including 6639 young people in NSW. Equity, discrimination, COVID-19 and the environment were the most important issues facing survey participants last year.

The top three issues of personal concern for young people from NSW were coping with stress, mental health and school or study

problems.

More than four in ten respondents from NSW indicated they were extremely or very concerned about coping with stress.

Flexible working hours, more jobs in my local area, and work experience were the top factors that young people from NSW said would help them secure a job.

“Our Youth Survey is Australia’s biggest survey of its kind that provides invaluable, current information about the views and sentiments of young Australians,” said Mission Australia’s State Director

Nada Nasser.

“It’s frequently referred to by organisations and governments, informs policies, and gives an insight to families and individuals hoping to develop an understanding of what young people are thinking and experiencing.

“As we all know, issues and concerns arising amid the pandemic are ongoing, and the future for young people is uncertain given the shocks produced by COVID-19,” he continued.

“The Youth Survey is a vital platform for young people to share their thoughts, concerns

MOTORISTS are advised that Waterfall Way between Dorrigo and Bellingen remains closed.

Clean up operations continue and the road is not expected to open to traffic for up to two weeks.

Restricted access to Summervilles Road is being provided to emergency services and those vehicles required to restore essential water, sewer and power services.

Summervilles Road was built and maintained for local traffic only and is not available as an alternative route as it is not suitable for high volumes of traffic.

Transport for NSW recognises Waterfall Way is a critical road for locals and will work with council and contractors to make sure it is open without any unnecessary delay.

Crews will work all through Easter to get the road

open as soon as it is safe to do so.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.

Transport for NSW thanks road users for their patience during this time.

For the latest traffic updates download the Live Traffic NSW App, visit livetraffic.com or call 132 701.

Information correct at time of printing.

Changed conditions on Waterfall Way

and aspirations to form policy and service changes that are important to them.

“It provides a meaningful opportunity for young people to have a say in how their future is shaped.”

This year’s Youth Survey questions will again focus on young people’s housing situation, disability and experiences of discrimination, along with new questions to better understand the impact of COVID-19 and stress management.

To take part in the survey, visit www.missionaustralia. com.au/youthsurvey.

HUNDREDS of domestic violence victim-survivors have contacted support services following the NSW Government’s ‘Speak Out’ campaign, with the positive statewide impact prompting another round of the campaign to begin today.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the high profile campaign to encourage victim-survivors to contact the NSW Domestic Violence Line drove a spike in requests for support.

“The NSW Domestic Violence Line received 1000 additional calls during the campaign period, which enabled their experienced frontline staff to support more people to escape abusive relationships,” Mr Singh said.

The powerful image of women’s faces with ‘Speak Out’ written across them will be rolled out once again thanks to COVID-19 stimulus funding announced last year.

A key feature of ‘Speak Out’ is the diversity of people represented, including those of different ages, and cultures.

campaign will appear across metropolitan and regional NSW and on social media, focusing on multicultural and Aboriginal audiences complemented by in-language radio advertisements, plus Koori Radio.

“The campaign’s message to victim-survivors is simple – every member of our society has the right to live their life free from abuse and violence,” Mr Singh said.

“The campaign will ensure that language is not a barrier to services, information and support for victim-survivors.

“I’m pleased to report that resources and ads will be featured in Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, Punjabi, Hindi, and Vietnamese so everyone across our community can access crucial support.”

The NSW Domestic Violence Line (1800 65 64 63) can help victim-survivors 24/7 with free, confidential support including finding accommodation, providing information about frontline services and contacting police, lawyers and the courts. Interpreters are also available.

Vinnies Flood Appeal

q Donations can be made by calling 13 18 12, at www.vinnies. org.au/NSWFloodAppeal or at any Vinnies Shop.

By Sandra MOON

ST Vincent de Paul Society (SVDP) NSW has launched a flood appeal to help those affected by the heavy rains and flooding across the state and is asking Australians to give generously.

Clare Van Doorn, SVDP North East Regional Director spoke with News Of The Area.

“The floods impacted the North Coast area right across the board.

“It has had such an impact with all the communities and the other side as well is that most of the communities have been involved in the bushfires and then with COVID it’s been a triple whammy.

“The biggest things for our local members that have been on the ground is that half of them have been impacted themselves.”

Ms Van Doorn said another challenge has been the isolation to some properties and communities.

She said, “SVDP have been able to provide assistance with food, blankets and swags.

“And in Kempsey we

could get to the evacuation centres and get swags in.”

At Coffs Harbour’s Pete’s Place, Manager Anna Scott reports they have had an extra thirty people seeking support.

Significantly, half of those people have never been to the service before.

Claire said, “So Anna has been able to assist and make sure there is some food there, a meal and a place to wash and dry things there.”

What is most needed, she said is shoes and socks because everything is so wet.

Vinnies Regional President of the Manning, Deacon Vince Ryan said “The Mid-North Coast has been hard hit by the floods.

“Many people and businesses have been significantly impacted.

“Large numbers of evacuations are happening, and many have lost property as well as large numbers of

NSW Land Registry Services (NSW LRS) will make title searches, replacement Certificates of Title and plan images free for property owners affected by flooding in NSW. Property searches and plans can assist landholders with insurance claims and development applications to council, as well as provide peace of mind regarding land ownership in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Adam Bennett, NSW Land Registry Services CEO, said having fast and free access to land titles could help bring peace of mind to affected property owners when the clean-up starts.

“We are seeing widespread flood damage to properties across NSW, our team are here to help property owners to access their lost or damaged land titles for free.

“NSW Land Registry Services encourage affected landowners to contact our team so we can do what we can to provide titling support as they start to rebuild their lives, homes and properties.”

This support will be provided direct by NSW LRS when property owners contact our team on 1300 396 076 (regional callers) or (02) 8776 3575.

Support for affected customers

If you have been affected by the recent floods in NSW and would benefit from access to land and property information from the land titles register, please call our Contact Centre on 1300 396 076 (regional callers) or (02) 8776 3575 and we can discuss how best to assist you.

NSW LRS operates the land titles register on behalf of the NSW Government.

This register holds essential information about properties across the state.

Information on this register is available for landowners to view through land and property information searches.

“Vinnies has a network of members living in these communities across the state who are ready to provide people with practical assistance and emotional support.”

and further evacuations are expected before this weather event passes.

“Vinnies has been helping Australians in crisis for nearly one hundred and forty years, and to supply evacuees with food, clothing, household goods, and longer term recovery, we need your help.

“If you are able, please donate to the Vinnies NSW Flood Appeal,” he said.

“All donations will go towards assisting people and communities directly impacted by the floods.

“Vinnies needs your help to provide everyday necessities to people who’ve been displaced by the floods.”

Regional event funding on offer

FUNDING from the NSW Government’s $20 million Regional Events Acceleration Fund is now available to help support the social and economic recovery of regional NSW, following COVID-19.

The funding will help organisations attract new major international and domestic events to regional areas, and support existing regional events to become bigger and better.

The cancellation of major regional events, such as Woolgoolga’s annual Curryfest and the Big Bash League (BBL) cricket match at C.ex International Stadium last year due to COVID-19 impacted local event venues, workers and local Coffs Harbour communities who rely on the influx of visitors and tourist dollars.

The Regional Events Acceleration funding will help meet the costs of attracting or retaining major events, such as premier sporting fixtures or competitions, and help fund the operational and infrastructure improvements existing

The types of events eligible for funding include major sporting and lifestyle events, major food and

beverage events, and major music, art and culture festivals.

The funding is for events hosted in regional NSW between March 2021 and

June 2022.

The Regional Events Acceleration Fund offers two streams, Major Event Operations and Infrastructure grants and

Major Event Attraction and Enhancement grants.

Major Event Operations and Infrastructure grants between $50,000 and $200,000 are available

TicliBlaxlandLawyers E S TA B L I S H E D F O R O V E R 7 5 Y E A R S

to support temporary event infrastructure and operational improvements at existing regional events to help increase visitation.

This includes securing a major artist/performance to increase an event’s appeal, additional temporary seating areas to increase capacity, additional staging for a music festival, and establishing a pop-up camping and caravan site to support more overnight stays.

Major Event Attraction and Enhancement grants are available for a minimum of $100,000 for the attraction, delivery and retention of major international and domestic events to regional areas across regional NSW, with a focus on major sporting events providing national or international exposure.

Applicants are encouraged to consult with Coffs Harbour City Council and Destination NSW prior to applying.

Red Cross ‘Run for Membantu’ launches appeal to support NSW floods recovery

By David TUNE

AUSTRALIAN Red Cross has launched an appeal for funds to assist people affected by the NSW floods.

Red Cross volunteers and staff have been providing psychological first aid and support to thousands of people since the start of the disaster.

Depending on ongoing needs assessment, and amount raised, support could include disaster relief (including practical and financial assistance) and supporting people and communities to recover and build resilience to disasters.

“We’re committed to helping those affected by this disaster, whether that be through recovery programs, psychological first aid or by reuniting them with loved ones through Register.Find.

Reunite,” Red Cross NSW Director Poppy Brown said.

“These floods have already affected thousands of people – it’s likely that will increase in the coming days.

“We don't yet know the

full extent of the impact of this disaster, but we do know that people’s needs are great.

“We’ve seen how much the generosity of Australians can help those affected by bushfires in their recovery.

“We’re now asking for people to help us support those affected by this extraordinary disaster.”

Red Cross volunteers will remain in evacuation centres across the state as needed.

“We advise people to take advantage of the support that’s available, including at evacuation centres, recovery hubs and during outreach activities over the coming weeks,” Ms Brown said.

Donations can be made by visiting redcross.org.au/ NSWfloods.

Red Cross also has information at redcross.org. au/emergency-resources about cleaning up after a flood and talking to children after emergencies.

COFFS Harbour Christian Community School student body has shown what really matters to them through their efforts in the school’s annual ‘Run for Membantu’ cross country and fund-raising event on Friday 19 March.

They rallied together, spreading the word to family and friends in a real and genuine way, outlining the desperate needs of young people in Bali.

The impact of COVID-19 has significantly worsened the situation on the Indonesian island, with countless families struggling to meet their most basic needs.

The Indonesian word “Membantu” translates in English to “help”, which is exactly what they hope to do in Indonesia. The aim is to create awareness and raise financial support for underprivileged young people attending partner schools in Bali.

Over the past 11 years the school community has raised over $250,000, all of which has gone directly to providing physical resources and supporting much needed infrastructure development in the areas of education, health, and housing.

Through word of mouth,

online sponsorship, sausage sizzles, cake sales, wristband sales, courageous hair and beard clipping (as shown in the photo) and even roadside stalls, the school managed to raise a further $25,000, all of which will go helping young people in Indonesia.

This effort is truly outstanding and is a testament to the selflessness and love within the community,

www.newsofthearea.com.au q Teachers at CCS (L to R) Mrs Wood, Mr Kent and Ms Bailey sacrificed their hair and beard to raise funds for the event.

The school would like to thank all of the local businesses involved for enabling and continuing to support this effort, contributing products or services to the cause, many of them have faced their own difficulties during the past 12 months of the COVID pandemic crisis and the school is truly humbled by their generosity.

prioritising the needs of others during this difficult time.

The schools Director of Ministries, Dave Sochon said, “We look for activities that instruct our students in how Christianity works in the community.

“We aim to teach them to reach out to people in need and to actively look for people who need help.”

Police launch ‘Trace an Object’ campaign to combat child abuse

THE Australian Federal Police (AFP) has released images extracted from child sexual abuse cold cases under a world-leading project to rescue more children from abuse.

The 'Stop Child Abuse – Trace an Object' initiative is publishing nine nonconfrontational images that can be seen in child exploitation material, such as pieces of clothing or bedding.

Investigators believe the victims are in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, and are calling on the public to view the images and contact the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) if they recognise the objects.

The project was developed and launched in March by the ACCCE, and is based on the highlysuccessful initiative devised

by Europol.

AFP Assistant Commissioner Lesa Gale said the images released were from cases investigators were yet to solve.

"No child is ever forgotten and investigators never give up,” Assistant Commissioner

Gale said.

“Child sexual abuse is abhorrent and we need every member of the community to be our eyes and ears to help police save victims and arrest perpetrators.

"Please look at the images at visit https://www.accce. gov.au/report/trace.”

Assistant Commissioner Gale said the images include pieces of clothing, furniture and household items.

"If you recognise an object and any details about its origin – be it from a shop, location or time period – please report it via the ACCCE website,” she said.

“You can do so securely and anonymously.

"Your small tip could be the information we need to rescue a child from significant harm.”

The public can also follow the ACCCE on Facebook and Twitter for regular updates on objects uploaded to the website.

Assistant Commissioner Gale said the ACCCE's world-leading Victim Identification Unit examines the most abhorrent material imaginable, frame by

Team Leader of Europol's Analysis Project Twins Cathal Delaney said their ongoing initiative has so far resulted in the removal of ten children from harm and arrest of three offenders, with authorities overseas receiving 26,000 tips, identifying 102 objects and launching several ongoing investigations.

RISE raise $40,000 for less fortunate members of our community

q Rise ambassadors with Newcastle Jets CEO Lawrie Mckinna.

By David WIGLEY RISE Coffs Harbour have raised $40,000 at their season opening fundraising event held at Red-C Events recently.

Rise is a not-for-profit community association which helps people from all backgrounds through playing football.

Newcastle Jets CEO Lawrie Mckinna was the master of ceremonies for the fundraiser and told News Of The Area, “The night was an outstanding success and it was an honour to be part of the night."

Matt Snell, Rise Founding President applauded the generosity and support from the community.

“This reflects the incredible generosity of the Coffs Harbour community and the growing awareness of what Rise is doing for the less fortunate members of our community.

“The monies raised will help fund the Rise Academy which as News Of The Area recently reported has over 70 teenagers in the programme and the fast growing Junior Rise program has over 50,”

said Snell.

Rise Vice President, Ian Leach was filled with gratitude.

“Lawrie McKinna the Newcastle Jets CEO braved the horrendous weather to drive up from Newcastle to MC the event and had the 150 strong audience in the palm of his hand.

“The combination of his hilarious Glaswegian’s wit and sensitive management of the stories of the brave Yazidi refugee children who shared their remarkable and very emotional stories with us on the night was fantastic,” said Leach.

“I’d especially like to thank Jenny Gosling and Cheryl Ward from the incredible Frontier Projects team for their tireless efforts in making the event so successful.

“Frontier Projects is an amazing Coffs Harbour based charity doing fantastic humanitarian work both locally and overseas, they have built a school in Haiti for earthquake victims, helped rescue trafficked children in South East Asia and now have taken up the challenge of helping Rise grow and in turn help the refugee kids of Coffs Harbour,” said Leach.

Coffs Harbour residents urged to book flu vaccination

COFFS Harbour residents are being urged by pharmacists not to be complacent this flu season and to make flu vaccinations a priority along with receiving the coronavirus vaccine in 2021 to ensure effective protection against the two separate and different viruses.

TerryWhite Chemmart Coffs Harbour Pharmacist Tanya Maloney said the key message for Australians when scheduling their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021 is to allow at least 14 days between each one as recommended by The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation.

“People should not be lulled into a false sense of complacency about the influenza virus.

q

Maloney “In all cases, the flu vaccination should be given at least 14 days apart from any dose of the COVID-19 vaccine."

Ms Maloney said an

annual flu vaccination is the best way to prevent yourself from getting the flu, and from then passing it on to someone else in the community.

Bookings are now

open and available online at TerryWhite Chemmart pharmacies.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommend receiving the Covid-19 and influenza vaccines at least 14 days apart.

“Most Australians (over 13 million) will qualify to receive their first COVID-19 vaccination from early May, which will be the TGA approved AstraZeneca/ University of Oxford vaccine.

“This vaccine also needs to be given in two doses, four to 12 weeks apart.

“It’s important that people remember the health risks of the influenza virus - an incredibly infectious respiratory disease that can leave people unwell for a week or more, and in the worst cases, result in hospitalisation or death.

“When planning and

industries.

“If we are serious about having the best skilled workforce in the world, we have to do things a bit differently.”

The NSW Government will use the report’s findings to advocate for the Commonwealth’s VET Student Loan scheme to be expanded to put VET study on an even financial playing field with university studies.

The IAT will be a new model of tertiary education that will fully integrate the theoretical study of university with the practical training of vocational education.

Students will be able to study flexibly, for example a student can complete a Certificate IV in year one, progress to a Diploma in year two and have the option of achieving a Bachelor in Applied Technology in year three.

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the recommendations would elevate the NSW VET system to an enviable standard.

“Our VET sector has already led the way in training frontline workers who have safeguarded our economy from the effects of a

global pandemic and today’s announcement will further bolster the sector to a worldclass standard,” Mr Lee said.

“The report highlights the skills industry needs are evolving and our VET sector must continue to evolve and remain accessible to ensure the people of NSW continue to undertake vocational education to drive NSW forward.”

Mr Gonski said the recommendations were developed with a number of stakeholders.

“Consultation was undertaken with academics, industry associations,

Terry White’s Brenton Hart vaccinating a customer.

“It is highly infectious, and it is important for people to continue getting vaccinated and to plan now so they can be vaccinated for both the flu and COVID-19 in a timely manner,” said Ms

scheduling the timing of their vaccinations, we encourage people to seek advice from their immunisation provider and to discuss their personal health circumstances with their GP or pharmacist prior to receiving their vaccinations.

“While protection from a flu vaccination is generally expected to last for the whole flu season, optimal protection against the flu is strongest and most effective three to four months after you are vaccinated.

“The flu season in Australia usually runs from June to September, peaking in August, although it has started earlier than June in some years and can occur year-round.

“While we may not know yet how the flu seasons are going to evolve on the back of COVID-19, a flu vaccination remains a critical component in your arsenal against tackling influenza,“ said Ms Maloney.

State Government to advocate for a VET HECS scheme

By Emma DARBIN

THE NSW Government intends to undertake new reforms to the VET sector, as part of accepting and implementing all five recommendations from the Gonski-Shergold Review of the NSW Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.

Following the review, the NSW Government has committed to establishing Careers NSW to provide career guidance to NSW residents at any stage of their career, establishing an entirely new Australian tertiary institution known as NSW Institute of Applied Technology (IAT), advocating for the establishment of VET student loans, similar to the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS), and continuing to work with the Federal Government on the scheme.

The State Government intends to advocate for an income-contingent loan scheme for Certificate III and IV to be introduced to achieve parity between university and VET sectors to increase student access and remove financial barriers for people studying VET qualifications.

The State Government has also committed to improving the quality of vocational education available in high schools including increasing the number of vocational courses incorporated in the calculation of the Year 12 ATAR, providing more opportunities for externally delivered VET, enhancing the number of school-based apprentices and trainees, and consulting with industry experts on VET course curriculums.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian thanked David Gonski and Professor Peter Shergold, who led the extensive review into the VET sector.

“Mr Gonski and Professor Shergold have provided the Government with new and innovative recommendations to ensure our training industry remains at the cutting edge and is relevant to a post COVID-19 economy,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“The Government’s record $107 billion spend in infrastructure has created a huge demand for tradies but we also need to upskill the workforce for emerging industries like 3D printing, robotics and other technology

government and nongovernment school sectors and training providers to provide a holistic review of the challenges the sector is facing,” Mr Gonski said.

Professor Shergold said the recommendations would also seek to enhance the status and improve the quality and accessibility of vocational education in high schools.

“Furthering the relevance and breadth of VET available in high schools is a significant step towards getting students interested in pursuing a vocational career,” Professor Shergold said.

Coffs women halt Adani

By Andrew VIVIAN TWO Coffs Harbour women took the lead in disrupting construction work on Adani’s Carmichael rail corridor in central Queensland last week.

Zianna Fuad locked herself onto a platform above the plant’s concrete conveyor belts from 4am until 1pm, while Susan Doyle, along with Teeka Latif from the Byron Bay area, immobilised the company’s flash-butt welder.

A group of twenty supporters also blocked traffic moving up and down the rail corridor.

The police finally used an angle grinder to remove the protesters, who were then driven to a watch house an hour away and held for two

hours.

The company’s concrete trucks were sent home, resulting in the plant shutting down for the day.

The group, which included fifteen Coffs Coast activists, is

motivated by their view that the mine’s climate effects will contribute to more frequent and extreme natural disasters such as those we are already experiencing.

They have also expressed

serious concerns about the safety practices of Adani’s contractors after a work vehicle drove into one woman and machinery was turned on while Ms Fuad was locked-on near it.

Ms Fuad said that she had to take direct action because, “A year ago I watched the

Health Care Support After Floods AS floodwaters begin to recede and communities count the cost of the recent weather, Healthy North Coast is turning its focus toward recovery and the mental health and wellbeing of residents.

Over the past week and a half, Healthy North Coast has been working closely with the local primary care health workforce to support flood-

affected communities.

Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said 11 evacuation centres were established on the North Coast during the floods.

Healthy North Coast communicated daily with the emergency operations team, linking general practice, pharmacy and mental health services into the emergency response.

“The evacuation centres supported people with a range of health needs,” Ms Sturgess said.

“We know that many in our communities will now be working through a long recovery process.”

She said that at the State Emergency Service’s Port Macquarie evacuation centre, Healthy North Coast provided a clinical psychologist to

support first responder volunteers.

“We also have a Healthy Minds program that has been updated to provide priority psychological support for people in flood-affected areas without the need for GP referral,” Ms Sturgess said.

“The program is free, with up to 10 sessions available.

“Residents can call Connect to Wellbeing on

forest I live in go up in flames, and now the Coffs Coast is being hit by disastrous floods.

“I saw 'permanently wet' forests burn for the first time ever,” she said.

Ms Fuad told News Of The Area, “It’s devastating that we have to put our bodies on the line when government policies should have already stopped this mine.

1800 834 059 who will be able to help people enrol in the program. Importantly, health professionals as well as community members can access Healthy Minds support.”

Connect to Wellbeing also has online and print resources around mental health recovery after a disaster.

Ms Sturgess said that in coming months, ongoing mental health support

“It’s unthinkable that a new coal mine is being considered when we’re already seeing the effects of climate change on the Coffs Coast,” she continued.

“Climate science tells us that we should be transitioning away from fossil fuels and it doesn’t make economic or environmental sense to be opening up mega mines,” she said. would be available through telehealth and face-to-face for residents affected by flooding.

“Floods can affect everyone in the community, not only people directly dealing with loss of property or possessions,” she said.

“We will continue to work closely with our primary care workforce and communities to support their immediate, short- and long-term recovery needs.”

Jack Thompson Is SWIFF21’s Patron

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Screenwave International Film Festival has taken another major step in its journey with the announcement that veteran Australian screen icon Jack Thompson will be the lead Festival Patron of SWIFF’21.

Jack Thompson epitomises the Australian film industry with a career that spans more than 50 years, having starred in his first feature film, ‘Wake In Fright’, in 1971 and recently starring in ‘High Ground’.

‘Wake In Fright’ was nominated for Cannes Film

Festival’s Palme d’Or, the award amongst awards for best feature film, and Mr Thompson would later win a Best Supporting Actor Award for his performance in ‘Breaker Morant’.

Both of these films will screen as part of a five feature film program called ‘Life Itself: A Tribute to Jack Thompson’ at SWIFF’21.

Mr Thompson said, “I am proud to be the 2021 Screenwave International Film Festival’s Festival Patron and honoured to welcome audiences far and wide to the Coffs Coast’s celebration of the

filmmaking process and the cinema experience.

“Our stories are vital – the sum of who we are – and worth celebrating,” he said.

“We are delighted to welcome an industry statesman like Jack aboard the festival team,” said SWIFF Festival Co-Director Kate Howat.

“Being a group of film

geeks, his performances play a special place in our hearts,” she said.

Mr Thompson will chair a Festival Patron team which also features Sydney Film Prizewinning documentarian Sascha Ettinger-Epstein (‘Destination Arnold’, ‘The Pink House’), and rising star Aaron Glenane who is carving out his own legacy with acclaimed performances in ‘Killing Ground’, ‘Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan’, and Netflix’s ‘Snowpiercer’.

Widespread decentralisation of the film industry across Australia has facilitated the development of a large scale film festival in a regional hub like Coffs Harbour.

SWIFF has been rapidly growing since its founding in 2016, quadrupling its audiences in five festivals.

It attracted nearly 10,000 patrons from a local population of 75,000 in 2020, with around 20% of its annual audience travelling from all States and Territories around Australia.

As COVID-19 fast-tracks a new wave of metropolitan residents moving to regional areas, SWIFF organisers are bracing for the next stage in the festival’s growth, making possible new cultural experiences.

The 2021 Screenwave International Film Festival will run for 16 days from April 14 to 29, and includes 120 film screenings, events, performances, parties, and industry sessions.

The full festival line-up is at www.swiff.com.au, with festival passes now on sale.

Coffs welcomes Rex ON Tuesday March 23, Coffs Harbour Airport welcomed Rex to the region, as they completed a ‘proving flight’ in advance of its Sydney service commencing on 28 March.

The Sydney service will operate up to 3 times a day and add 18 services a week to the popular Sydney-Coffs Harbour route.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight said the new services provided enormous economic possibilities for the region.

“Rex’s new services are a ringing endorsement of our community and Palisade - the new operators of the airport.

“We’re going to be seeing potentially another 60,000 passengers a year coming

to the region, which is great for the local tourism industry and a fantastic, post-pandemic boost for the whole Coffs Coast region.”

Frank Mondello, incoming General Manager for Coffs Harbour Airport, welcomed the new services.

“We’re delighted to welcome Rex to Coffs Harbour Airport,

which will offer passengers more choice on the region’s busiest air route.

“The Rex service will provide more frequency for passengers travelling between Sydney and Coffs, and will provide a boost to the growing business travel market and for those keen to connect with family and friends.”

Federal Government Wants More People In Regional Areas

By Andrew VIVIAN

HOT on the heels of Deputy Premier John Barilaro’s comment about the housing shortage in a number of regional areas being a ‘champagne problem’, comes a Federal Government push

to encourage people to move to regional areas.

The $4.6 million campaign, promoted by the Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack, seeks to encourage increased migration to regional areas.

Mr McCormack says that housing is cheaper in the regions and lifestyles are healthier.

He claims that the Regional Australia Institute has identified

54,000 vacancies in regional areas, 3000 of them on the NSW North Coast.

While some regional towns might benefit from a boost in population, not everyone is onboard with Mr McCormack.

Tony Judge, Labor’s spokesperson in Coffs Harbour is concerned that factors such as high youth unemployment, a housing shortage and a

growing homelessness issue in Coffs Harbour are reasons for the population not to increase without massive support from governments.

Mr Judge said that the push for people to move to regional Australia is positive, but it cannot occur in a policy vacuum.

He said an increase needs to be accompanied by housing,

industry development and environmental policies that support both the people who are relocating and the people currently living in regional areas.

Mr Judge said, “If it is done with good planning and support it will lead to economic development, new opportunities and a sense of optimism for regional

Australia.

“If not, it could exacerbate the current regional housing crisis, increase local unemployment and create hostility towards new arrivals.

“It needs to be a planned, well supported initiative - not just another Federal Government thought bubble,” he said.

By Andrea FERRARI THE COFFS Agricultural Show, 30 April – 2 May 2021, our local county show, with a rich history of almost 100 years, needs you.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of setting up and manning this annual event up.

Calling on willing tradies and handy types, Margaret Crawley, Vice President and Pavilion Chief Steward said, “We need manpower, with tools, to help build the pavilion.”

On the day, to comply with Covid-19 safety requirements, the organisers need more hands than usual to help.

“Once the pavilion is built in the days leading up to the show, we then need volunteers during the event, such as stewards on the entrance, manning the hand sanitisers and checking distancing

requirements,” said Margaret.

The main pavilion is the heart of the show’s creative competitions.

“The pavilion houses the local schools’ exhibits and the Showgirl Competition, along with all manner of arts and craft, cake decorating, needlecraft, jam making, homemade honey, the garden section as well as the scone competition,” added Margaret.

In true country show style the community is encouraged to enter their prize-winning fruit cake, poultry, bananas and home brew.

Check out the website for the wideranging competition categories.

It truly is a community family event with a Demolition Derby, Stockman’s Challenge, horse riding events, carnival rides and firework displays happening in the main showground.

Christopher Pearson, President said, “Our 2021 Coffs Harbour Show is one of 560 scheduled Australia-wide this year.

“Last year many shows did not take place due to drought, bushfires and Coronavirus.

“This year, our show will highlight excellence in agriculture, pastoral and horticultural areas as well as providing the non-agricultural sector of our community with their opportunity to participate in craft, photography, vegetables and flowers to complement our school section.

“Above all our show joins the Australian Show Family as the largest volunteer-based activity, and the longest running community event in Coffs Harbour.”

24-hour GP Telehealth Service for people affected by floods THE free 24-hour Healthy North Coast GP Telehealth service has been established to support people affected by the severe weather and flooding on the NSW North

Coast.

Residents in floodaffected areas who are not able to get an appointment with their regular GP can phone the service on 1800

Hospital volunteers show resilience and determination NOT even a once-in-a-halfcentury flood could prevent hospital volunteers on the Mid North Coast from holding their regional forum at Sawtell this last week.

The State President of the United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW, Linda Swales of the state’s central west, attended, along with the North East Regional Representative Dee Hunter, Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight, Gumbaynggirr elder Reg Craig and host Coffs Harbour UHA President, Helen Mears.

Coffs Harbour Health Campus General Manager Lydia Dennett was a late apology as the flood emergency and recovery extended into Monday morning.

UHA volunteers from Coffs, BowraMacksville, Bellingen and Nambucca Heads attended, however, flood waters further south prevented volunteers and Health staff from the Hastings and Manning from joining their colleagues for what would have been the first official get-together of volunteers in a year due to COVID-19 precautions.

Mrs Swales described the past 12 months as a difficult year, starting with bush

fires after the 86th UHA State Conference in Port Macquarie, then the suspension of hospital volunteer services in all NSW hospitals in response to COVID-19, and culminating last weekend with one of the worst floods ever faced by NSW residents.

Despite the hurdles, the hospital volunteers across NSW still managed to donate $4,354,000 in medical equipment for the 2019-20 Financial Year.

Regional Representative Dee Hunter was quick to praise the efforts of the Coffs Harbour branch in hosting the forum, in particular Helen Mears and Heather Hardwick.

Ms Hunter also praised the Mid North Coast’s volunteers who, despite limited fundraising activities, still managed to donate $271,246 in equipment to local hospitals.

“We gifted important medical equipment to our health facilities, such as an ultrasound for the renal unit at Macksville, an operating table for Bellinger River District Hospital, vital signs monitors and electric beds from Nambucca Branch, mattresses for Kempsey District Hospital, a bladder scanner for Dorrigo Multi Purpose Service and numerous items from our host Branch Coffs Harbour Pink

care summary can be sent to the patient, their regular GP and to My Health Record.

This service has been funded by Healthy North Coast through their North Coast PHN program and is part of the Commonwealth’s flood-relief support program.

It is offered in partnership with Telstra Health through the HealthNow platform.

Across our region, local health services have been impacted and some are still closed due to power outages, staff shortages and floods.

The 1800-service is designed to be used if people in flood-affected areas are not able to get an appointment with their regular GP. The Healthy North Coast postcode checker will tell you if you can use this service.

Visit: www.hnc.org.au/telehealth-floods.

In medical emergencies, call 000 (Triple Zero) immediately.

If you require rescue, assistance to evacuate or other emergency help, ring NSW SES on 132 500.

Ladies, to name just a few,” Ms Hunter said.

“It was an incredible effort from the North East Region UHA Branch members.”

Coffs President Helen Mears said the weather had stopped many volunteers from attending but it had not dampened the enthusiasm of those who did make it to Sawtell.

“Our volunteers have missed each other’s company and that of our hospital staff but we are looking forward to getting everyone back to work in late April,” Mrs Mears said.

Mid North Coast Local Health District Chief Executive Stewart Dowrick had nothing but praise for the region’s volunteers.

“This is a cohort of some of the most generous people you would ever meet,” Mr Dowrick said.

“We have missed them over the past 12 months… not only their support but their smiling faces and their generosity of time and compassion.

“They are a remarkable group of people and it is a privilege to have them in our Health family on the Mid North Coast.”

Council supports Action Plan COFFS Harbour City Council has applauded the final Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan, believing it reinforces the many strategic opportunities for Coffs Harbour as a regional city.

Coffs Harbour City Council Mayor Councillor Denise Knight said a great deal of hard work has been put in by the State Government on this Plan since 2018.

"The Coffs Harbour Plan is the first one to be finalised in the State and the vision is

brilliant.

“I applaud everyone who has been involved including members of the community who worked hard on their submissions to help ensure the content reflects community views."

Screenwave International Film Festival Co-Director Dave Horsley said it's with great joy to see the reintroduction of Arts, Culture, and Creative Industries into the Plan.

"This is a priority in our community and will attract and

create additional jobs, funding, festivals, performances, and artists for our beautiful region well into the future.

"When the draft Regional City Action Plan was released, it was plain to see Arts, Culture, and Creative Industries was omitted.

“When we realised this our local creative industry workers pulled together and campaigned for creativity from jobs, to liveability, to vibrancy - to be added as a priority for the community.

“We know that the Coffs Harbour community deeply values the arts, and that we have a rapidly growing creative industry locally - future proof jobs with solid community benefits."

Councillor Knight said she is especially pleased to see that the Plan recognises the city centre as critical to Coffs Harbour’s success as a regional city.

Now with an Instagram following of over 7,000 the art forms the foundation of this fun, pun-filled exhibition.

Talking with News Of The Area, David said, “I am honestly still amazed that my humble little bag drawings have attracted so much attention.

“I seriously never expected to gain any followers – other than my family - when I first started posting them on my social media pages."

David never imagined his quirky artworks would gain traction outside of his family.

“My kids still shake their head that there are so many

people who voluntarily choose “the sandwich bag dad experience.

“They have no choice but to deal with my constant dad joking, but they just can’t fathom why 1000s of people around the world would actually choose to subject themselves to my nonsense.”

With no formal training, David is thrilled to be able to pursue his childhood hobby in adulthood.

“I am not a professional artist and have never had any formal training.

“I used to draw and paint regularly as a kid but gave it all away when I started university and entered the workforce. “My school art teacher always said

art is something that one eventually returns to, and she was right.

“Drawing is now a major hobby again,” he said.

Having a few days off school, “The whole sandwichbag clan will be joining me at Coffs Cartoon Gallery opening night,” David added.

David is running two workshops for ages five and up on Saturday 17 April.

Bookings recommended for opening night and workshops - phone 0266 517 343, or drop into the gallery at 1 John Champion Way, Coffs Harbour.

This textured hairdo suits all face shapes and, as the ends are so feathery, it gives instant softness. The Shag works well on all hair types as along as the hair is reasonably thick.

Maintenance is low - just wash and go with a little product to exaggerate the texture.

Local bands hoping for a musical revival as restrictions ease

By David WIGLEY LOCAL band Phat Tracta entertained the crowd at Red-C events last Saturday with an array of 1980's music covers and are hoping for a music revival on the Coffs Coast after their most challenging ever year as musicians.

Lead singer and guitarist Scott Anlezark from Woolgoolga told News Of The Area, "We used to perform at all of the local venues but when COVID struck everything got cancelled, not only do we lose income from performing, we lost what we love doing, it's been the worst year in my music career.

"We weren't entitled to JobKeeper for loss of earnings, it affected some of us more than others, our drummer John Sawyer is retired so it had less impact on him but myself and bass player Phil Grayson had to figure out other ways to bridge the gap.

"The worst thing is losing what we love most and that's performing music, I feel so thankful we are able to play again.

“It's only once a month, we hope it continues so we can get back to something like it used to be,” said Anlezark.

The buoyant crowd lapped up 80’s covers from

CHH

the likes of INXS, Midnight Oil and a rendition of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall which resulted in a standing ovation.

"80's music is the best, 80's music is timeless, epic bands producing epic anthems everyone knows the words to, the 90's and after weren't as good and that's why we're happily stuck in the 80's," said the charismatic frontman.

There could be light at the end of the tunnel for local bands doing it tough as the NSW Government launch the Dine & Discover NSW scheme to encourage the community to get out and about to support dining, arts and tourism businesses.

The scheme allows NSW residents aged 18 and older to apply for four $25 vouchers to be used at participating venues.

There are two different types of vouchers, 2 x $25 Dine NSW vouchers to be used for eating in restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and clubs and 2 x $25 Discover NSW vouchers to be used for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, arts and venues.

"We are hopeful this (the Dine & Discover scheme) will help, there's very few venues doing live music

at the moment, the whole hospitality industry has been doing it tough so hopefully this is a catalyst to get things going again and we hope the community gets right behind it," said Scott.

There was more good news for local performers as the NSW Premier announced further easing of restrictions from Monday 29 March which includes no restriction on dancing including weddings and in pubs and nightclubs, all venues to move to the one person per 2sqm rule and 100% seated capacity at entertainment venues including stadiums and theatres.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the easing

of restrictions is a significant step forward as NSW continues its COVID-19 recovery.

“With no community transmission and our quarantine and frontline workers now receiving their

second vaccinations, the timing is right to further ease the restrictions across the state,” said Ms Berejiklian.

to examine, discuss and explore respectful relationships.

As a result of pandemic restrictions dancing was not permitted, however some participants followed the rules but celebrated by dancing in their seats.

100% of the ticket proceeds go directly to the Love Bites Program through the Coffs Coast Committee Against Family and Domestic Violence.

Proudly sponsored by C.ex

Group and NAPCAN and supported by NSW Police and Regional NSW. Tickets included a three-course meal and entertainment plus a silent auction and raffle.

NAPCAN is now running Love Bites Facilitator training for those interested in delivering the program, for more information go to https://www.napcan. org.au/

Unreasonable Executors & Unacceptable delays WHEN Nina is in her late eighties, she visits her solicitor to update her will.

She has five children and appoints her eldest children, Adrian and Donna to be her executors. Whilst Nina’s other three children are relatively ‘easy going’, Nina describes Adrian and Donna as highly strung and explains to her solicitor that she would like to appoint them because “they will make trouble if I don’t.”

Her solicitor advises that it would be unwise to appoint the two children who typically disagree. However, Nina insists and her will is executed a week later.

Years later, Nina passes away peacefully at the age of 93.

During her life, Nina had made it very clear that she wanted a traditional Italian service in a Catholic church.

Unfortunately, her executors disagree on the finer details.

After a month of disagreement, Adrian proposes a simple funeral in a local church, with a small group of friends and family.

He invites Donna to be involved in its planning.

Donna declines and commences proceedings in the Supreme Court.

One month later, Donna and Adrian settle on a funeral service that was similar to the one Adrian had previously proposed.

However, the costs of the proceedings remained an issue and Donna was ordered to pay both hers and Adrian’s legal costs personally with the Judge explaining that by refusing Adrian’s reasonable compromise, Donna had adversarially engaged her co-executor unnecessarily.

Nina had been interred at the funeral parlor for over two months.

Although the feelings of our loved ones are an important consideration, this illustrates the need to carefully consider who your executors will be and appoint people who you can trust to do the job, not just for the sake keeping them happy.

DEAR Jasminda,

I am trying to settle a score.

Is the word bullsh-t offensive or just vernacular?

Ditto for other commonly used swear words.

Miss Wendy P. Dear Miss Wendy,

In defense of ANZAC Day commemorations at C.Ex Stadium DEAR News Of The Area,

IN response to ‘Call for Anzac Day to be marked at local cenotaphs’, (Coffs Coast NOTA, p4 March 28 Edition).

The above article reporting Cr. Rhoades’ concerns for ANZAC Day requires a reply.

Last year the Coffs Coast communities, like most in NSW, went without ANZAC Day Commemorations and local Marches due to COVID restrictions.

The RSL Sub-branches of the Coffs Coast area have been organising and conducting ANZAC Day activities for over 100 years, unlike Cr. Rhoades.

1.

Cr. Rhoades would have been well advised to talk directly with the Chair of the 2021 organising committee before airing his thoughts at a CHCC meeting.

RSL Sub-branches hold their ANZAC Day responsibilities most sacred; they will not forgo except in the most serious of circumstances.

2.

This year local RSL Sub-branches were determined the Coffs community would not go without the best COVID safe ANZAC Day possible.

To that end a Joint Coffs Coast ANZAC Day was investigated and planned to meet all COVID

requirements and provide safe participation by both Veterans and the Coffs Coast Community at large.

3. The Cex International Stadium fully meets the specifications for a certain COVID safe ANZAC Day March and Service in under cover seating.

At the same time the location is totally compliant with a Registered COVID Plan.

4.

The Stadium gives our whole Coffs Coast Community certainty that we can all commemorate ANZAC Day together, even if COVID changes force authorities to impose server restrictions.

5.

All ANZAC Day activities must be the subject of a Registered COVID Plan.

In the case of smaller Sub-branches it is beyond their personnel and logistic resources to hold a Covid compliant ANZAC Day. 6. Many smaller NSW Sub-branches won’t be holding ANZAC Day events, because it is too hard to comply; this, potentially, is the case for Woolgoolga, Sawtell, Urunga and probably Coffs Harbour.

Sawtell have subsequently decided that the Exemption to the Public Health Order allows them enough scope to hold their own March and Service.

7.

Any ANZAC Day plan must be capable of last minute change to guarantee certainty.

8.

The COVID Plan requires, amongst others : a. Registration stations to manage all attendees, b.

QR Code scanning facilities, c. the presence of sufficient COVID Marshalls, d. enforced compliance with 1.5M social distancing and 2 sq metre space allocation, e. controlled specific ENTRY and EXIT points. f.

The logistics make it virtually impossible for a street March and uncontrolled gathering at the Vernon St Cenotaph to comply with the COVID Plan. Moving, registering, accommodating and monitoring 3,000 plus persons without causing social discomfort and unrest would be impossible.

Clearly the Stadium is the best place to give certainty to our Coffs Coast ANZAC Day. We would all love to be living in a COVID free world and hold ANZAC Day as in years past; but we do not.

This is the new ‘normal’!

We may all be looking at ANZAC Day 2022 – 20??

Regards, John LLOYD, Chairman, Coffs Coast Joint ANZAC Day.

I AM having trouble imagining a Miss Wendy saying anything offensive.

The name reminds me of that lovely lady from Romper Room, although I think that was Miss Kim. We shouldn't let names confuse us, however.

I do believe Miss Kim swore like a trooper and chain smoked once the cameras stopped rolling.

I mean, who wouldn't after years of trying to get kids to balance bags of rice on their heads or having to listen to that repulsive milk slurping noise when they had their refreshments.

Holy sugar.

Back to your question.

I think, like most things, swear words in moderation can be used to great effect.

There are some situations where a wellplaced swear word is absolutely necessary to get the intended meaning across.

If you were snorkelling at Fly Point and a dark shadow approached that had a distinctive shark shape, you possibly wouldn't be saying 'oh darn', into your snorkel.

This would sound like 'glop dlop' to the shark anyway, due to the effect of speaking through a tube underwater. Instead, what he'd more likely hear would be 'hoblo flug, whobla flugging hlop.'

He wouldn't understand that either, so you'd probably still get eaten, but at least you'd feel the momentary release that well-placed swearing offers.

On the other hand, people who feel the need to litter every sentence with swear words are just lazy and disingenuous.

Some songs and movies would only be half their current length if they took out all the expletives.

These words become so commonplace that they no longer have any impact.

It's a bit like tattoos.

A few strategic, meaningful ones are interesting, but when entire bodies are tattooed there is no delineation and therefore no impact.

So, is the word bullsh-t offensive?

I guess we will find out when this Jasminda column either does or does not appear in this week's paper.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Lighting up the Coast: Formation, Facts & Figures (Part 5)

The head lighthouse keeper Captain Joseph Leddra, along with the first and second assistants, Mr John Skelton and Mr John Burgess and their families, moved into their quarters on 1 March 1880.

The head keeper’s residence contained six rooms surrounded by a seven-foot

verandah, while the assistant’s quarters were constructed as a semi-detached house, also surrounded by a verandah, each residence containing four rooms.

Accompanying these buildings was a shelter wall to help protect the inhabitants from the weather, two footpaths, a landing

q The Opening of South Solitary Island, 1880. Courtesy of Coffs Collections (coffs.recollect. net.au)

By Karen FILEWOOD ONE of the first indications to the general public that the lighthouse had been completed was a newspaper notification that the temporary light, used since 13 August 1878, was to cease operating and the permanent light displayed from 13 March 1880.

After the permanent light was established, the remaining workmen left the island over the following weeks.

stage and crane, and storehouse.

The lighthouse tower is 40 feet high and has an internal diameter of 11 feet to allow for three flights of cast iron stairs.

The lantern added another 17 feet and 6 inches to the height of the tower and was made by Messrs Chance Brothers and Co in Birmingham, England.

Described as being one of the finest made, the light was shipped from England and was accompanied by a company representative to assist with its installation.

Around 2,850 casks of cement, 1,100 tons of sand from the Macleay River area and stone from the island was used for the site’s concrete components.

The gallery floor is made of 16 Melbourne bluestones, each weighing 30 cwt (around 1 ½ ton), while the specially selected hardwood came from the Bellingen River.

The tendered cost of construction was £23,900 with an additional £3,150 for the lantern and £1,500 for the landing stage and footpaths.

Mayoral Column – Local & Vocal Voice at National Assembly

By Cr Dominic KING (Mayor) Bellingen Shire Council I WILL be attending the Australian Local Government Association’s National General

Assembly of Local Government in Canberra this year to ensure the Federal Government knows the challenges we face as a community due to the recent drought, fires, floods and current COVID-19 pandemic.

The ‘local and vocal’ message I am going to deliver is that we need to develop a national policy that will immediately and effectively fund local community driven programs, projects and initiatives that will strengthen our capacity to meet the challenges

we will face in the years ahead.

So that’s why I have tabled a motion to be reviewed and discussed at the General Assembly that calls on the Federal Government to release the $4 billion in unallocated Emergency Response Funds to the 537 Local Government Councils across our nation to fund local community disaster recovery, preparedness and resilience initiatives.

The motion details the challenges we face as a community and talks to issues such as our Shire’s

housing crisis and issues relating to affordable housing availability, and the need to develop and fund community driven short, medium and longterm strategies to deliver a proactive response to the National homelessness issue.

It also reviews the significant increase in the scale and cost of maintaining and repairing our community infrastructure, including the challenges faced by many Councils across the country that are trying to manage the impacts of

severe weather events and flooding on their road and bridge networks.

Our local environment has also suffered greatly, and I’ve highlighted the need to deliver initiatives that address the impacts of climate change and these extreme weather events, including the need to fund local environmental recovery initiatives that address the water and food security crisis affecting all of our local communities.

To effectively deal with the challenges our local businesses face also requires Federal funding to

establish local community partnership-based models that harness the talents of locals and community organisations, to explore practical initiatives that will provide long-term solutions to the economic impacts they will face in the years ahead.

Ultimately, these funds could be invested immediately to strengthen every local community’s capacity to establish foundational programs that would make a real difference by preparing our Nation’s communities for the challenges they face now and into the future, and I look forward to advocating on your behalf for that to happen.

Appeal for information after arson attack in Bellingen POLICE are appealing for public assistance following a suspected arson attack which injured a man on the state’s Mid North Coast.

About 1am on Monday 22 March 2021) emergency services responded to reports of a fire on Ringwood Place, Bellingen, which caused extensive damage.

Officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District attended and were told a resident of the home, a 53-year-old man, was awoken by someone banging on his front door and loungeroom window.

Police have been told the resident observed an unknown

man throw an object – which was alight – through the loungeroom window.

The 53-year-old sustained minor burns to his legs while extinguishing the fire, several minutes before NSW Fire and Rescue crews arrived at the scene – he did not require hospital treatment.

The man is believed to be aged in his late teens to early 20s, with a thin build.

He was wearing dark pants, a dark hooded jumper and a red and white T-shirt.

It’s believed the man may have injuries to his hands from the incident.

AMAZING GRACE

NBN, 9pm

SUNDAY

THE REPLACEMENT

7TWO, 8.30pm

If you missed the premiere episode last week, it’s time to catch up. With only three high-strung, riveting episodes to gorge on, it’ll be a well-spent three hours that leave you pining for more. Set in Glasgow, this smart yet mirthfully sinister melodrama stars two excellent leads. Tonight, the screws become even looser as post-baby Ellen (Morven Christie, pictured left) returns to work, intent on uncovering the truth about her “replacement”, Paula (Vicky McClure, pictured right). A juicy showdown awaits.

A saving grace for fans of Offspring and Love Child, this charming and surprising series stars Kate Jenkinson (pictured) as midwife Grace, who is a tremendous advocate and friend to the mothers-to-be in her care, but doesn’t have a worklife balance to speak of. Like her childbirth drama contemporaries Nina Proudman and Joan Millar, a complicated family tree and fraught personal relationships are at the heart of Grace’s life – namely those with obstetrician mum Diane (Sigrid Thornton) and Sophia (Alexandra Jensen), the daughter she placed for adoption 17 years ago. Tonight, Grace is in for a tough ride when her exhusband’s new partner goes into labour.

COOK LIKE AN ITALIAN WITH SILVIA COLLOCA

SBS FOOD, 8pm

All the ingredients for an enjoyable and drool-worthy cooking show are on display in this enthusiastic cooking series, with Silvia Colloca (pictured) a vital ingredient. Gregarious and generous, the Milan-born talent whips up simple, lip-smacking, home-style Italian food. The recipes speak for themselves, but the hungry kitchenbench visits from her children and friends are a welcome, wholesome distraction. Who wouldn’t barge in to tuck into that fresh foccacia? The new 10-episode season kicks off with Silvia sharing recipes from her Nonna’s home region of Emilia0204

By David WIGLEY

COFFS United Striker and Rise Ambassador Habibullah Noorani, (Habib), has secured a contract with semi-professional National Premier League club, Valentine FC. Habib was introduced to the Newcastle Jets at a Rise training session in December 2020 when they visited Coffs Harbour to play a preseason match against the Brisbane Roar.

Habib’s skills and work ethic caught the eye of the Newcastle Jets coaching staff which resulted in an invitation to train with the Jets on a 10-day football experience.

Jets youth coach Ben Hughes saw potential in Habib and introduced him to Lake Macquarie based NPL

q

Northern NSW club Valentine FC, where he trained twice and was promptly offered a contract.

Habib was full of gratitude, “I am very grateful to everyone who has assisted me on my journey at Rise and Coffs United.

“I want to lead all the way for the kids at Rise who just need people to believe in them, I’m very excited and can’t wait to show them what I can do,” said Habib.

Rise is a not-for-profit community association which brings people together and helps people from all

backgrounds through playing football.

Rise Vice President Ian Leach provided some insights into Habib’s journey.

“Habib has come a long way in a short time, both in his personal and football lives, it is less than a year since he joined Rise after an email from his sister who heard about Rise’s Football Academy and their work with the Coffs refugee community.

“Habib came to Australia from Afghanistan as a refuge in 2016 and had lost his

way a little, Habib thrived at Rise, found his purpose, and quickly earned a reputation as an admired leader and mentor of the younger members of the Academy.

“He’s been involved in many Rise volunteer activities most notably the Graff Avenue project helping the kids of Toormina learn football, running BBQ’s and distributing meals.

“Woolworth’s, a cosponsor of the Graff Avenue project, quickly recognised Habib’s dedication,

enthusiasm and work ethic and offered him a job.

“This exciting new chapter in Habib’s life begins this week with his move to Valentine, 18kms south of Newcastle,” said Leach.

It’s been a meteoric rise for Habib who played in last year’s reserve grade, grand final for Coffs United under the stewardship of Men’s senior coach Glen Williams.

“Habib joined Coffs United 3 years ago, not having played club football at all, immediately the coaching staff saw potential but his talent was raw, he improved week by week and eventually in 2019 had a consistent spot in the reserve grade men's team, which he continued through 2020.

“His appetite for football and training was evident, and we saw this through his commitment to the club and to the Rise Academy via training and his selfless attitude in helping out the younger children in the academy.

“He trained weekly over this Christmas break with the Rise academy coach, Phil McMullen, and from the first training run this year, I saw a vast improvement in his strength, fitness and skills.

“Unfortunately we have only seen this improvement in one trial game versus Lismore due to the weather, however I’m so pleased for him, as life has dealt him a couple of speed

humps, but this has built his determination to go to the next level in his football, Coffs United Football Club wishes Habib all the best for the coming future,” said Williams.

Phil McMullen, Rise’s Technical Director explained how football at Rise can lead to broader benefits.

“Habib is a very good player with high potential and sets a wonderful example for all of our younger academy participants and he is currently enrolled in a Further Studies Certificate II course at TAFE. “Habib attends every Rise academy training session, he assists with coaching several mornings fulfilling his volunteering requirements at Rise,” said McMullen.

Grant Lawler, Rise’s Wellbeing Manager assisted Habib with developing his swimming and in a remarkably short time Habib gained his Bronze Medallion, joined the Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club and is now helping patrol our local beaches.

“Habib will be playing for Valentine during 2021 and has aspirations to cement a place within Australia’s A-League. He has set goals to support his progress and with the support of Rise he’s keen to create a remarkable pathway for himself and future Rise participants to benefit from,” said Lawler.

any future competitions.

“The outgoing committee would like to thank all players for their support over the years and wish you all the best in the future.

“As there is no committee to continue on with this competition it is with regret that Coffs Mixed Touch will

no longer operate.

“Thanks to all those players who have supported Coffs Mixed Touch Association over the years.”

The recently completed season featured round games each Thursday night at the Coffs Leagues Club fields and Geoff King Motors Oval.

Northern Storm firing up for the Coastal Premier League

By David WIGLEY THE Northern Storm are firing up for this year’s eagerly anticipated Coastal Premier League as coach Craig Caruana describes how fine the margins are between winning and losing in such a competitive league.

“Nothing less than a full 90 minute effort week in week out is what is required in order to be considered a threat in this year’s Coastal Premier League.

“If there is one thing we have learned from our first year, it’s no matter who you are playing against, if you’re at less than 100% or don’t concentrate for 90 minutes you will get punished.

“Chances in this league are few and far between and you have to take your opportunities when they arise,” said Caruana.

Head coaches Eric McCarthy and Craig Caruana have reflected on key games last season and what is

required for 2021.

“We dominated in parts of games or were in the contest and switched off which lost the chance of three points, being joint top of the table going into the last two weeks of the competition and losing all three remaining games wasn’t just disappointing, it’s totally unacceptable at this level.

“We had plenty of opportunities to put sides away and didn’t, and at the other end we gave away unnecessary goals when games were in the balance,” said Caruana.

There’s been ins, outs and players graduating from junior to senior football and the coach

believes this has strengthened the squad.

“We had a large number of young players last year, some have moved on to university, however those that have stayed have been training the house down and really pushing to step up another level after getting a taste of senior football.

“Last year were break out years for players like Addison Tyas and Muang En Sian, we expect big things from lads like them this year and for them to put their stamp on the competition.

“We have added some real quality to our squad with some exciting individuals who have

settled in really well and have staked a claim for a round one starting spot, overall we probably have a better squad with a number of different options in key positions,” concluded Caruana.

The following players have joined the Northern Storm for 2021; Bailey Bathgate, Chris Mirindi, Jyelei McKell, James Gorrie, Jeff Olgers, Mitch Weeding and Paul Matten.

Levi Bannerman and Tom Ylinen have been promoted from the 17’s side, while Tom Sweeney, Blake Austin, Kodai Mikuni, Dylan Young, Rory Goddard, Mykel Watson and Mackenzie Caruana have left the club.

From Orara Valley to the A-League

By Aiden BURGESS A FORMER Orara Valley Dingoes junior has made it to the highest level of Australian football.

Ryan Scott has played five A-League games as Western United’s goalkeeper after making his debut for the Melbourne club as an injury replacement last March.

Scott has played five games including four starts as United’s goalkeeper this A-League season.

The 25-year-old caught the eye of United after five stellar seasons playing for the Bentleigh Greens in the National Premier Leagues Victoria competition.

He won three championships with the Greens and was man of the match in two of the grand finals.

He also led his side to the semi-finals of the FFA Cup in 2018.

The talented goalie also worked as a bricklayer whilst

trying to make it onto the biggest stage of Australian football.

Scott’s family moved to the Orara Valley from his home city of Gembrook near Melbourne to Karangi as a 5-year-old.

The next 6 years would see the emerging talent play his formative years with the Orara Valley Dingoes while attending Karangi Primary School.

While he made it to the big time with his sublime goalkeeping skills, it took some early persuasion from his father Alan to find his true calling on the field.

“I convinced him to play goalkeeper because he got a bit slow as he got older in the juniors,” said Alan.

“He was a wicketkeeper in cricket so he was always vocal and had the reflexes.

“It was very similar to (former Socceroos goalkeeper) Mark Schwarzer, as his father put him in goal at 15 and he went from there.”

Coffs Harbour Running Festival to return in September

By Aiden BURGESS

ONE of Coffs Harbour’s biggest annual athletics events is set to be held in September.

The annual event is held

on a bush trail on the Coffs Creek walkway, with the flat, shady course being ideal for runners.

The picturesque track hugs the beautiful Coffs Creek and competitors run over floating boardwalks, through swamp forests of mangrove, casuarina and paperbark trees from the

centre of town to the coast and back.

The Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour Running Festival is a community event for people of all ages and abilities and consists of a 21.1km Half Marathon, 10km Fun Run, 5km Fun Run and a 3km Family Fun Run/Walk.

The event raises funds

for local children’s charities including Life Education Australia, Coffs Coast Autism, Camp Quality and Early Connections Coffs Harbour.

Former Olympian Steve Moneghetti will once again be participating and celebrating in the 10th Annual Event.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Moneghetti has been a regular participant in Coffs over the last 10 years and says that the Coffs course and event is one of the best he has run.

Like a lot of sporting events in 2020, last year’s Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour Running Festival was cancelled due to COVID-19.

The 2019 event raised $20,000 for local charities and community groups, thanks to the organising efforts of the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour and Village Sports.

Since 2011, the event has raised over $200,000 for local charities and community groups.

Troy’s boys progress to FFA cup fourth round

By David WIGLEY BOAMBEE FC progressed to the fourth round of the FFA Cup with 3-0 win over Coastal Premier League rivals Sawtell FC at Ayrshire Park last Saturday.

Sawtell started strongly and hit the post in the first ten minutes but it was Thomas Frewen for Boambee

who opened the scoring with a towering header from a Brady Parker corner to give the Bombers a 1-0 lead at half time.

Both teams had chances in the second half but it was veteran striker Brady Parker who added to the Bombers tally with a trademark strike from 25 yards.

As the game progressed,

the young team from Sawtell poured forwards in search of an equaliser but against the run of play the Bombers counter attacked and Adam Pickup secured the Bombers a ticket into the fourth round with a composed penalty into the bottom left corner.

“It was great to finally get back out onto the pitch and have a game of football, I thought my side did well considering we have a lot of new players and they are still trying to gel with one another.

“We had some good moments during the game that we can build on, Boambee stretched us across the park and were quick in transition.

“There are a lot of positives we can take out of the game and we are looking forward to the start of the CPL season,” said Joe.

The veteran A-League star was vocal from the first minute shaping the team into his favoured 4-3-3 formation, encouraging his team mates to pass the ball from the back and find pockets of space through the middle.

Hearfield’s vision and passing range allowed him to ping the ball around the park turning defence into attack for the Bombers.

For long periods of the match Sawtell matched last year’s North Zone champions and instilled their own brand of passing football, and there were plenty of positives and

Diggers the kings of Coffs Harbour cricket

By Aiden BURGESS DIGGERS Cricket Club Inc. are the kings of Coffs Harbour cricket after a grand final victory at home to claim the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s first grade premiership.

Diggers capped off a tremendous season with a 42run win against Sawtell in their season decider at Fitzroy Oval.

The premiership win capped

off a stellar season in which Diggers finished as minor premiers after sitting at the top of the ladder from start to finish.

Diggers opened the batting in the season finale and posted 8/176, with Jesse Ferrett top scoring with 40.

On the biggest stage of the year and with the premiership up for grabs, the Diggers bowlers stepped up big time to dismiss Sawtell for 134.

In a man of the match

performance, Jesse Ferrett backed up his top score taking 4/25 from his 8 overs.

Ty Adams also produced a pivotal spell taking 3/16 from his 7 overs.

Diggers won their first 1st grade premiership since 2015, an effort which captain Jonathon Paff said had his players in a celebratory mood.

“It was bloody awesome and we led the comp from start to finish which feels good,” he said.

“We partied on the pitch after, so good times.”

Paff praised the efforts of his sides’ two big-time bowlers.

“I felt pretty good defending 176 and Jesse Ferrett killed it and was player of the game,” he said.

“Ty Adams also had a big game.

“Batting first and getting runs on the board was the most satisfying part, and it was a big win.”

Nana Glen were the second and third grade premiers for 2020/21, after their respective grand finals were washed out with the club winning by virtue of finishing as minor premiers.

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.

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE – Solar, Electric, Gas or Heat Pumps.

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in your area free of charge.

“REMEMBER, YOU CAN’T LOSE. NO ANODE REPLACEMENT, NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years without replacement.

Coffs United under 11’s first training night is at an all weather venue - the bowling alley.

By David WIGLEY

THE rain has battered the Coffs Coast and as a result seagulls have flocked to the washed out pitches instead of footballers.

Coaches and players have been itching to get back together and one innovative coach decided training would go ahead no matter what the weather - at the ten pin bowling alley!

Coffs United coach Dan Clarke believes football isn’t just about playing and the camaraderie and friendships are an important component.
