My First Five Months With News Of The Area

Andrew Vivian.

HALFWAY through the disaster that has been 2020 I noticed a Facebook post seeking people to write for a proposed print newspaper to fill the void left by the move of the Coffs Coast Advocate to online only.

I expressed interest, and was surprised but pleased to be invited to be one of the Coffs Coast News Of The Area scribes.

I’ve done some opinion pieces for an English-language newspaper overseas and, for six months, I was the Englishlanguage editor for the now-defunct Bali Echo magazine.

As a former teacher and school principal, I was also used to writing for a range of audiences so the style guide provided by the editors for our writing was easy to follow.

Being a ‘reporter’ has already been a very rewarding experience.

I am drawn to stories about education, the environment and politics but also love to meet interesting people and write about them.

By David TUNE WHEN News Of The Area hit the newsstands for the first time on July 31, it contained the journalistic debut of this particular correspondent.

The approaching end of year provides me with an opportunity to look back and update some of the stories that have been covered in the months since.

One of the stories I particularly enjoyed covering was the remarkable tale of Helen Ross Lee, who suffered a major traumatic brain injury in a hang-gliding accident, before retraining her brain so effectively that she was able to write and publish her autobiography.

She has now had a crew from

the Australian Women’s Weekly interview her for a story in the magazine early next year and is scheduled to do a zoom interview with Brain Injury Arizona in January.

Another local author, Penny Dennis, who writes under the nom de plume of Penn Adams, is about to release a sequel to her first book that was published earlier this year.

I have also been excited to cover and be present for the announcement of funding for the Coffs Coast, for everything from the local Scouts and Guides to sporting clubs and organisations and Indigenous cultural groups, as well as the sod turning ceremony for the new playing surfaces at the Stadium Drive site.

The National Cartoon Gallery expansion continues apace, with the development

on track for an official opening in the new year.

Some things suffered from the effects of pandemic restrictions, including the local theatre production of Romeo and Juliet not making it to stage,

q

www.newsofthearea.com.au and major musicals including ‘Into the Woods’ and ‘Mamma Mia’ having to be rescheduled to next year.

All in all, your correspondent has totally enjoyed meeting with local people to chat and bring their stories to the readers of Coffs Coast News Of The Area.

Forest Battles Continue

By Andrew VIVIAN THE battle over what constitutes sustainable logging in native forests is far from over.

Environmentalists, Coffs Coast residents and some politicians have been dumbfounded by continued logging in fire-affected native forests after the devastation caused by the bushfires earlier this year.

However, the

Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has directed the Forestry Corporation to stop work in a South Coast forest because of alleged breaches of its licence in bushfire-hit forests and is also prosecuting the corporation for breaches of regulations on the north coast dating from 2018.

In a letter to the EPA, the Department of Regional NSW claimed that ‘460 direct hardwood industry jobs will be under threat on the north coast’ and that the Site Specific Operating Conditions

(SSOO), developed by the EPA, make it very challenging for Forestry Corporation to meet its contractual obligations.

In response, the State Government is considering commissioning a review by the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) into the tensions between the EPA and Forestry Corporation.

A spokesperson for the Forestry Corporation told News Of The Area, “The recovery and health of our forests and wildlife following these fires is also

paramount, which is why renewable timber production is so carefully managed, particularly in this post-fire landscape.”

“In recognition of the widespread impact of the 2019-20 fires, Forestry Corporation has reduced operations in native forests on the north coast to less than half the normal rate of production by moving the majority of operations into timber plantations, which were specifically planted for timber production,” she added.

www.newsofthearea.com.au While many people welcome an independent review into the impact of logging on burnt forest, there is still concern that there have still been some breaches of SSOOs by contractors.

Major issues for conservationists include the felling of old-growth trees and the felling and damaging of hollow-bearing trees that

provide shelter and food for dozens of threatened species.

Despite these concerns, a spokesperson for the Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, has said, “The government is also considering an appropriate pathway for Forestry Corporation to recommence operating under standing IFOA conditions and prescriptions.”

Coffs gains NBN Sky Muster satellite THE Coffs Harbour Rural Fire Service Fire Control Centre and the Kempsey Emergency Services Centre will have more resilient telecommunications in the future as these sites are gaining new Disaster Satellite Services from NBN Co. Under the $37.1 million Strengthening Telecommunications Against Natural Disaster program, the Morrison-McCormack Government is delivering hundreds of satellite dishes on emergency buildings around Australia and funding five new satellite dish-equipped Road Muster Trucks.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the delivery of Disaster Satellite Services in Coffs Harbour and Kempsey would provide backup broadband connectivity when terrestrial mobile and fixed line networks stop operating in a natural disaster.

“One of the most widespread concerns expressed to me about the Black Summer Bushfires was its impact on our telecommunications and mobile phone services,” he said.

“Rural Fire Service brigade members were left doorknocking residents because mobile phone networks were down and residents were unable to communicate with their loved ones.

“These new Disaster Satellite Services, provided to fire service depots and evacuation centres nationally through a $7 million investment from our Government, won’t solve all problems, but it will provide some back-up communications capability during a disaster.

“The satellite technology will be switched on at the Coffs Harbour and Kempsey sites during an emergency event to provide free, full satellite broadband functionality, including wi-fi and video

streaming.”

The Strengthening Telecommunications Against Natural Disaster (STAND) program aims to strengthen the resilience of regional and remote telecommunications networks through mobile network hardening (an $18 million investment); provide more temporary telco infrastructure deployments, including NBN Road Muster Trucks and satellite fly-away kits ($10 million); enable better telecommunications for rural and country fire service depots and

evacuation centres through satellite technology ($7 million); and improve coordination and communication to communities about access to telecommunications in emergencies ($2.1 million).

One of the three NBN Road Muster Trucks based in New South Wales was on show at the Coffs Harbour Rural Fire Service Fire Control Centre.

The truck has the ability to simultaneously operate a secure wi-fi hotspot around the truck itself, whilst supporting public access to wi-fi in a nearby building through a deployable

COFFS Coast residents will now have access to practical advice on helping resolve problems they experience with their mobile phone and internet connections.

The Regional Tech Hub was launched on Tuesday December 8, 2020.

The Hub includes an enquiry hotline staffed by tech support experts located in regional Australia and an easy to use portal.

The hotline operates Monday and Tuesday from 2pm until 7pm and Wednesday, Thursday and

Friday from 7.30am until 12.30pm.

Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, says the Regional Tech Hub delivers on the MorrisonMcCormack Government’s commitment to help improve the digital literacy of Australians in regional, rural and remote areas.

“Thanks to the Regional Tech Hub, residents across Cowper now have access to independent, practical advice and assistance on telecommunications issues,” Mr Conaghan said.

“The Hub provides a onestop source of information that will help regional Australians to, understand the telecommunications options available to them; decide which option best suits their needs, and, resolve problems they experience with their mobile phone and internet connections.

“Information provided via the Regional Tech Hub covers all telco providers.”

Mr Conaghan said the Hub includes an easy-to-use online portal, a dedicated

social media presence including on Facebook and Twitter along with an enquiry hotline staffed by tech support experts from regional Australia.

Regional Communications Minister, Mark Coulton, said the Hub will help Cowper residents understand the telecommunications options available to them, decide which option best suits their needs, and resolve problems they experience with their phone and internet connections.

“The Federal Coalition is committed to improving digital

wi-fi access point.

The truck also had a builtin mobile repeater designed to boost mobile phone signal strength for emergency workers in areas of poor reception and the ability for up to 15 people to plug in and charge their mobile phones at any one time.

Disaster Satellite Services will be installed at the Coffs Harbour Rural Fire Service Fire Control Centre located in Aviation Drive and the Kempsey Emergency Services Centre in North Street next year.

It follows four mobile base stations in rural areas of Cowper receiving battery back-up technology to provide longer mobile phone coverage to 535 premises during a natural disaster.

Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said the STAND program was one way the Morrison-McCormack Government was helping communities to build back better.

“The Government continues to support communities in fire-affected regions through more than $2 billion in bushfire recovery assistance and this is helping communities to build back better.”

connectivity and access to the internet for all Australians, and the Regional Tech Hub is an important part of our approach to ensuring people understand all the options available to them, from mobile networks to the NBN Sky Muster Plus.”

The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) was selected to develop and run the Hub following a tender process earlier this year.

The NFF is working closely with the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) to ensure the information provided through the Hub is practical, relevant and easily

and Remote Gavin Williams said, “While, of course, we hope never to see a repeat of last summer’s events, we welcome the opportunity to further increase our capabilities to support retail service providers, emergency services personnel and the communities impacted by these devastating events.

“Last summer, we worked with retail service providers to install temporary emergency satellite infrastructure to more than 30 evacuation centres and 10 emergency response centres across New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia to support more than 5,000 residents, business owners and support staff during the bushfire crisis.

“By providing free satellite wi-fi services and mobile device charging facilities during the emergency we were able to help keep families and loved ones connected and provide vital communication services into areas that otherwise might not have had them.”

The Regional Tech Hub has been funded as part of the Government’s $220 million Stronger Regional Digital Connectivity Program, which was announced in March 2019 in response to the recommendations of the 2018 Regional Telecommunications Review.

WHO doesn’t love receiving a package in the mail?

But have you ever stopped to consider that it could pose a biosecurity risk?

With an increase in online shopping, local consumers are being reminded to look out for unwanted exotic plant pests in packages received from overseas.

NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Manager Plant Biosecurity Prevention & Preparedness, Chris Anderson, said it’s important for everyone to be aware and to report anything unusual.

The NSW DPI reports unwanted exotic pests pose a threat to the state’s $15.7 billion primary industries.

“Online shopping, gifts from family and friends or imported items can

easily harbour insect pests and diseases which could cause damage and threaten farming communities,” Dr Anderson said.

“If you are purchasing goods from overseas, especially seeds and items made from wood or organic material, check whether it can legally come into Australia.

“From exotic fruit flies, exotic drywood termites and invasive snails, the Australian Government lists the top 40 unwanted plant pests on its website, http://www.agriculture. gov.au/pests-diseasesweeds/plant “Australia is in the fortunate situation of being free of many significant pests that adversely affect agricultural production in other countries.

“Good biosecurity practices protect us all from the impacts of animal and plant pests, diseases and weeds.

“We all share the responsibility for managing biosecurity risks and together we can protect NSW’s strong economy,

q The increase in online shopping means an increase in biosecurity hazards too. safe healthy food supply and unique natural environment.”

NSW DPI encourages people to report any signs of pests and diseases found in imported goods by calling the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline 1800 084 881 or use the online form.

Take a clear photo of the pest and email the clear photos with a brief description and your contact details to biosecurity@dpi. nsw.gov.au If samples for diagnostic purposes are required Biosecurity NSW will advise you on how to take a sample

or arrange a Biosecurity NSW person to take samples.

Do not move the pest, plant or plant parts until you have consulted with Biosecurity NSW staff and are sure that the pest or disease is not an exotic plant pest.

Norco’s 125 Year Record Profit

By Sandra MOON

AUSTRALIA’S oldest dairy co-operative has defied the economic uncertainty of COVID-19 to deliver a record milk price to its farmers and achieve an operating profit four and a half times higher than last year.

Norco Co-operative Limited, which has one hundred and thirty four employees in its Raleigh factory and twenty six dairy farms in our footprint, has posted an operating profit of $5.4 million for the 20192020 financial year, up from $1.2 million the previous financial year.

The powerhouse performance is a welcomed result for the co-operative’s 302 active members who also benefited from a rise in milk payments, with each farmer member sharing in $17.1 million of much needed farm gate milk price increases compared to the previous financial year.

The combined value of higher milk price

payments and improved returns represents a $21.3 million improvement in value for Norco farmers throughout their 125th year of operation.

Recently appointed Norco Chairman Michael Jeffery said the strong results were a credit to the co-operative’s

management team and its hard-working farmer members who operate 203 dairy farms across New South Wales and Queensland.

Mr Jeffrey started as CEO in October last year and had previously worked as

Chief Operating Officer in March last year after working for Bega Cheese for sixteen years.

He told News of The Area Norco’s results are partly attributed to fantastic consumer support.

“It clearly shows that customer support

works,” he said.

Mr Jeffrey’s new approaches to how Norco drives value, how it approaches business and procurement; and new price development functions are paying off and our farmers are reaping the benefits.

Norco is now the fastest growing white milk brand.

q 2019 NSW Young Farmer of the Year Renae Connell with her partner Scott run just one of Norco’s twenty six dairy farms in our footprint.

“We have expanded our range and distribution of Norco milk into all Queensland and NSW Woolworths stores and recently increased the range in one hundred and fifty Coles stores in NSW,” he said.

This boost is so welcomed by farmers who continue to recover

from the crippling effects of drought and high costs of production.

“Our farmers are still suffering from the repercussions of the worst drought that anyone can remember and incurred additional costs for feed and taken on debt that needs to be repaid over the next year or two.”

Carers Wellbeing Under NDIS

By Sandra MOON

SOUTHERN Cross University have released a report entitled ‘Understanding the Impact of the NDIS on Regional Carers’, publishing findings on the wellbeing of carers, including those on the Coffs Coast.

The report is the result of an 18 month study in which 70 carers from the NSW Mid North Coast were surveyed about caring for a person with a disability shortly after becoming part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

One of the main findings was the need to improve the wellbeing of carers and to ease the significant administrative burdens many face when dealing with the

RFS Legends on Video

By Sandra MOON

ON the drive out to the Orara Valley on Coramba Road a simple sign was erected last year that states “Thank You RFS Legends”.

The sign stands there still as homage to the efforts by the volunteer Rural Fire Service (RFS) in fighting fires.

These RFS legends from brigades in Nana Glen, Bonville, Repton and Bellingen are now featured in videos to encourage the community to be prepared for bushfires.

Senior Deputy Captain at Nana Glen brigade, Glenn Locke, spoke with News Of The Area.

“The videos will be a great resource for the community.

“We have a limited number of fire trucks in the valley and hundreds of houses.

“If we have another big fire event, there wasn’t, and there won’t be enough fire trucks to go to every house,” he said.

“So the key to saving your home is preparation.”

Mr Locke said the local

brigades are always looking for volunteers and that it not only looks great on a CV but is wonderful for confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.

“The RFS is a great option to get a lot of training for free: first aid, chainsaw qualification and your truck license is all for nothing so there are some great opportunities there for young people,” he said.

Last summer’s bushfires destroyed 2,476 homes across New South Wales and has highlighted the importance of having a bush

fire plan and being prepared.

The Bush Fire Danger Period has begun for the Mid North Coast and the Rural Fire Service stress the importance of taking five minutes to talk with your family, complete a bushfire survival plan and take steps to get ready for bushfire.

Coffs Harbour City Council’s Community Recovery Officer Melinda Brooks said: “Many residents who were impacted by last year’s Liberation Trail fire expressed concerns about their lack of understanding about how to prepare their

In partnership with Bellingen Shire Council, Resilience NSW and the NSW Rural Fire Service, two ‘Get Ready for Bush Fire' videos have been made featuring RFS volunteers from the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen local government areas.

NSW RFS Superintendent Sean McArdle said all local residents need to be prepared as getting ready for bush fire is as important as ever.

“Although we have had

some welcome rain and the drought is not as widespread coming into this season, there is potential for grass fires in particular, and we all need to be well prepared,” he said.

“NSW RFS members have been busy preparing by undertaking hazard reduction burns where possible, maintaining firefighting equipment and undergoing additional training.

“The Get Ready films are about residents doing their bit to protect their families and properties in the event of

a fire.”

Alison Pattinson, Bellingen Shire Council’s Manager, Community Wellbeing, said that the RFS Mid North Coast Team includes both Coffs and Bellingen volunteers and a consistent Get Ready message is important for local preparedness.

“By using local RFS volunteers we really hope that the community will watch the videos and be better prepared this bushfire season.”

HECS debt found to be ‘financial and social burden’ q Ms Ryan graduated with a Bachelor of Medical Science in 2018 before pursuing a Juris Doctor.

By Miles PROUST UNIVERSITY graduates are questioning the value of their education more than ever before, according to a report by Futurity Investment Group.

The report surveyed more than a thousand Australian university graduates and found 44 percent of respondents felt negative or neutral about the value of their degree, with 25 percent also worried about their financial situation.

Female students were also more likely to have a higher debt than males, despite university educated males typically earning more over their lifetime.

In a year that’s been marked by a global pandemic and economic crisis, the findings come as no surprise to university students Ruby Tavener and Katharine Ryan.

Ms Tavener, a Coffs Harbour local who now lives in Sydney, said she felt her degree was devalued because of teleconference tutorials that cost the same as face-to-

price.

“Even now I feel an unavoidable sense of dread knowing I have such a large debt to the government for a substantial period of my life,” she said.

Both Ms Tavener and Ms Ryan said they would support the return of free or cheaper tertiary education.

“I think it’s so wrong to experience such a financial burden to further your education,” said Ms Ryan.

“Whether you believe a specific degree is valuable or not is no reason to discourage someone financially from pursuing an education and subsequent career in something they are passionate about.”

Futurity Investment Group’s CEO, Ross Higgins said despite the debt, university degrees are still worth the cost but future students should understand that debt can carry financial and social burdens later in life.

“It’s crucial all Australians understand the value of having dedicated savings and funding for university education so they can avoid large HECS-HELP debts impacting financial wellbeing and their ability to achieve their goals later in life,” said Mr Higgins.

face classes.

“I didn’t really get much out of it because a few of us were sitting in a class in Sydney and the teacher would be in Melbourne,” she said.

The International Development Studies student said her HECS-HELP debt is around $30,000 and she felt a generational divide between those who received a free education and those who didn’t.

“A lot of my parents' friends got married and bought houses in their 20s whereas I have lots of friends who graduated from uni and work full time but continue to live in share-houses because they are paying back their HECS debt,” said Ms Tavener.

Katharine Ryan, who is studying a postgraduate law degree, said she felt similarly and found the cost of her education, which will exceed $100,000, to be extortionate.

“I’ve been in an entirely online environment to date so I’m paying the same amount as a student who received the benefits of interacting face to face with teachers and learning from their peers,” said Ms Ryan.

Ms Ryan said the cost of her Juris Doctor degree was a factor in choosing where to study and she turned down some offers because of the

History on Show These Holidays

By Sandra MOON

HAVE you visited the Coffs Harbour Regional Museum to learn about our incredible past?

It is a pleasant, relaxed and free way to while away some hours and with extended opening hours over summer you will be amazed at the historical collections from the region.

It is a family friendly Museum and holds a fascinating history of decades past.

The historical relics and items of Coffs Harbour are available to view by locals and visitors with extended hours from Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 4pm, with loads of exhibits about the people, places and events that shaped the Coffs Harbour

region.

“Whether you are a long-term local or new to the region, there’s so many unexpected things to spark your curiosity about Coffs Harbour,” explained Ms Vanessa Brandy, Museum Assistant.

“Heading into the holiday season, we ask locals to consider taking any visiting friends and family to the Museum to give them a richer insight into the area.

“It’s amazing how many

www.newsofthearea.com.au

locals haven’t visited our Museum,” she said.

Coming into summer visitors can relive the backbreaking days when fruit picking was the mainstay for the local economy before the transition to coastal tourism in the late 1950s.

The Bananas to Beautizone exhibition features quirky postcards, signs, fashion, photos and banana packing materials that will spark memories.

Meanwhile in the Maritime

Room, visitors can explore living as a lighthouse keeper on South Solitary Island, historic happenings at the jetty and past shipwrecks from the coast.

Ms Brandy said, “My favourite piece in the collection are homemade water skis from 1960.

“My mother loved water skiing up the Bellinger River as a teen.

“I also love the Edison Phonograph from 1905; a Radio from 1930 and John Korff’s telescope!”

Ms Brandy started volunteering at the Museum in 2018 and applied her professional photography skills to shoot historic maps of the Coffs Coast.

“I loved seeing the old maps with the original names of suburbs and streets,” added Vanessa.

“There are also over 7,000 photos in the collection you can now see online.”

If you are unable to make it to the Museum you can go on a 3D Virtual Museum Tour at www.coffsharbour.nsw. gov.au/museum.

Pictures Give Words Enhanced Meaning

By Andrew VIVIAN

ALINA Loneck relocated from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Coffs Harbour five years ago.

She told News Of The Area, "I wrote stories from a young age and, once I retired, I had time to pursue my passion for writing again”.

Alina has an Honours Degree in Psychology and English Literature, has been a member of Coffs Harbour Writers and has attended a number of writers’ workshops across the Coffs Coast.

She decided to forgo workshops and find her own way with writing.

Alina said, "A fellow writer who read my stories said she felt I had arrived as a writer, so I decided to take on the challenge of writing a

collection and publishing it”.

After adding more stories to complete ‘Within Sunshine and Shadow’ (a collection of short stories and a novella) Alina wanted to add artwork before publishing.

She knew it had to be done

by Sandra Wood, her friend from Adventure Girls, a local women’s exercise group.

Sandra has lived in the Coffs Harbour area for twentyseven years and, as a member of the Sawtell art group for thirteen years, she has exhibited at Sawtell, the Coffs Harbour Showgrounds and Bellingen.

According to Sandra, “Alina wanted pen and ink drawings to capture the essence of each story”.

“Alina knew what she

q Alina Loneck (L) and Sandra Wood have collaborated to add extra meaning to Alina’s stories

wanted for each image – to intrigue and not to reveal its relevance till the reader finishes the story”, she added.

Alina said, “The stories in ‘Within Sunshine and Shadow’ present the three kinds of people we all come across in life: those who will change our life, those who will harm our life and those who will be our life.”

Alina and Sandra are keen to share their journey with other writers and artists and plans are underway to make this happen early in the New Year.

Alina's book is available online (Kindle eBook and paperback) and through The Book Warehouse, Coffs Harbour and the Sawtell Newsagency.

Seacrest Theatre Company celebrates its swansong with a reprise of ‘The 39 Steps’

By David TUNE

DIRECTOR Amanda Scott is bringing long-time local community company Seacrest to the stage for the last time by reprising the highly successful and very funny play ‘The 39 Steps’.

Seacrest Productions was formalised in Coffs Harbour in 2004 and has provided Producer/Directors the opportunity to stage productions with a great deal of independence.

Some of their most wellremembered shows are ‘The Last of the Red Hot Lovers’, ‘Sylvia’ , ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’, ‘Blithe Spirit’, ‘Educating Rita’, ‘Shirley Valentine’ and of course ‘The 39 Steps’, originally presented in 2011 and reprised the following year, due to popular demand.

Amanda told News Of The Area, “It seemed fitting, therefore, when the decision was made to close down the company that they should do so on a high, by rebooting a favourite.

“This play is a corker, it is theatrical magic, creative, inventive, and just plain

hilarious.

“The perfect antidote to the year that was 2020.

“I love the way theatre allows the audience to suspend their disbelief and with this production its disbelief on steroids.”

Described as a “Madcap spy adventure of Pythonesque proportion”, the multi-awardwinning extravaganza of minimalism, was adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel

by John Buchan and inspired by the movie of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock.

The story is delivered by four actors, purportedly playing 139 parts, with quick changes, multiple accents and lightning-fast set changes, this fast-paced whodunnit spy story is loaded with quick quips and great gags all the way through.

Seacrest’s final production hits the stage on Saturday 16 January and runs until Saturday 23 January, more information and tickets are available at https://www. jettytheatre.com/the-39steps/ or call the theatre on 02 6648 4930 Tuesday through Friday, from 12 noon to 4pm.

Creative Workbooks at Cultural Spots

By Sandra MOON

THE kids will be well catered for rain, hail or shine, beat holiday boredom and get some cultural enrichment these holidays with a new initiative by Coffs Harbour Council.

The Creative Activity Workbook is being provided free to families these holidays based on our cultural facilities.

Children and young persons across the Coffs Coast can ignite their creative spark thanks to the new workbooks.

The different activities are able to be done at home, while you are beating the heat or while visiting any of the Coffs Harbour Council’s cultural spots: Coffs Harbour Libraries, Museum, Gallery or the new Culture Hub. Designed to entertain and educate, there’s something to keep kids of all ages busy, whether they want to draw, read, write, make, watch or simply imagine.

“We want to foster the creative spark in kids as they explore our Libraries, Museum and Gallery, with new ways to keep them engaged and get them thinking,” explains Ashleigh Frost, Programs Facilitator.

“Ideally families combine

our activity ideas with a visit as each of our cultural facilities offers a unique experience that’s free and an escape from the summer heat!”

At Coffs Harbour Libraries kids can join the Summer Reading Club for exciting reading challenges with prizes on offer and hands-on events from fun animation and fantasy craft to a creative writing workshop.

A Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery spokesperson suggests kids draw their home from above, like the Aboriginal artists whose works are now on show, or imagine they are a curator and map out how they would display their own clay sculptures.

Meanwhile over at Culture Hub, kids can discover the

performance and artworks of Eugenia Lim, become an ambassador themselves and take time out in the ‘yellow tent’ installation.

Kids can also explore the Coffs Harbour Regional Museum to find fascinating objects that tell a story about their region’s past including the historic Tasma Theatre projector which staff are happy to demonstrate.

Families are invited to pick up their free Creative Activity Workbooks now available from each Library branch (Coffs Harbour, Toormina and Woolgoolga), the Regional Gallery, Regional Museum and Culture Hub in Coffs Central.

For opening hours over the holidays visit the council website: https://www. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au.

Sea sanctuary a step closer

By Monika KOZLOVSKIS THE establishment of a sea sanctuary at Coffs Harbour came a step closer last week after the Parliamentary Inquiry into The Use of Exotic Animals in Circuses and Exhibition of Cetaceans

in New South Wales released its recommendations.

At issue is the long-term welfare of the three dolphins held at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park.

As they were born in captivity and couldn’t survive in the wild they can’t be released.

The youngest is aged eleven and the expected

lifespan for the dolphins is 50 to 60 years.

Terry Goodall, Managing Director of Dolphin Marine Conservation Park (the Park), said he is pleased with the recommendations, which include restrictions on breeding dolphins in captivity; that the Government contribute financially towards the

completion of a feasibility study into a proposed sea sanctuary at Coffs Harbour; and that financial support be provided for the ongoing marine rescue and rehabilitation work conducted by the Park.

Dolphin Marine Conservation Park, Action for Dolphins and World Animal Protection have been working in partnership on a feasibility study for the sanctuary, looking at Corambirra Point at Coffs Harbour and Nambucca as options.

Terry told the Inquiry Committee that while the Park funds its own operations from ticket sales, and the fundraising efforts of Action for Dolphins and World Animal Protection Australia have financed the feasibility study so far, completion of the study could cost a further $250,000 and constructing the sanctuary $10 to $15 million.

Terry told News Of The Area that there’s a

long way to go, including several further steps in the Parliamentary process and also consultation with the many other groups who use the harbour for fishing, boating and leisure.

“We would only go ahead with the proposal if the feasibility study shows that a sea sanctuary would provide better welfare outcomes for the dolphins than the Park can,” he said.

“The biggest question people ask is, why all this for just three dolphins – but it’s much more than that.

“Should the sea sanctuary go ahead we could incorporate a learning centre to support the significant work we already do in education, plus a half-way house arrangement for the rehabilitation of marine animals.

“It would provide a boost to the local economy and bring extra tourism into the area, as well as providing additional scope for our conservation work.”

Terry said, “Nambucca has been identified as the only other possibility geographically, and so is part of the feasibility study, though it’s too early for any discussions to have taken place as yet.

“The feasibility study also includes assessing wave data, acoustic testing because of the dolphins’ hearing, water quality testing, architectural design and identifying stakeholders.”

Terry said, “I believe Dolphin Marine Conservation Park and our resident dolphins, Jet, Bella and Zipper achieved a win from this Inquiry.

“Now, we need to see the recommendations accepted.”

The final report is expected to be tabled in Parliament next year on 31 July.

Till Death Do Us Part?

By Annelies BLEECHMORE

THROUGH their 65 years of marriage, my Grandparents had always shared a profound connection that was an emulation of the phrase “Till death do us part.”

My body of work explores the ways this

connection was affected as my Granny developed Dementia that gradually took hold of her mind, while my Grandad’s physical state rapidly declined due to Multiple Myeloma, affecting his overall vitality and contributed to his passing in 2019.

As a couple they became progressively

estranged while their sentiment for each other never wavered.

The Dementia caused Grandad's passing to be incomprehensible to Granny, and to this day she wanders the halls of their nursing home in search of her beloved husband.

The work displays a representation of themselves before and

after disease stole their lives and their withering physical and mental states, with only a five year difference between the central couple portrait and the aged individuals on either side to show the rapidity at which their lives were transformed.

“Till death do us part” as a question asks us to consider the ways

relationships are affected by circumstances beyond a couple’s control, and how the relationship’s essence is maintained in the hearts of each person even after loss.

Conquering during COVID. A reflection of excellence

THE class of 2020 showed that they were able to overcome significant challenges through outstanding academic and wellbeing support during what will go down as a momentous event in education due to COVID-19.

Our students continually lead the region, again we were the best ranked school on the Coffs Coast by a significant margin.

Our staff led by their Heads of Faculty have initiated the most innovative educational programs with electives from Year 5 to 8 and World Options electives in Years 9 and 10.

These provide structured high potential and gifted programs where students are not withdrawn from class but guided within our transformational elective structure that continues all the way through to Accelerated subjects and early completion of HSC courses for our dedicated learners.

It is significant to note that parents on the North Coast are provided with options for education that challenges metropolitan offerings.

Our extension subjects and accelerated offerings performed incredibly well, with 39 E4 and E3 results from a cohort of 78.

The Pastoral team provided the much needed support for our students with Year

Coordinator Mr Mick Klipin and Director of Student Wellbeing Mrs Sue O’Connor providing strength and guidance for the students’ wellness on their journeys to success, along with their Wellbeing team including two school counsellors and a third coming in 2021. Our ten School Captains (Leadership, Academic, The Arts, Sporting, Service) and six House Captains led the team and we watched in admiration as they all supported their peers throughout their journey.

So much was raised for worthy charities, so much time dedicated to helping those in need, and we couldn’t be more proud of our 2020 Alumni and we will continue to watch their achievements into the future.

They are truly world prepared.

Furthermore, our Accelerated students in Year 11 had some fantastic achievements in the Mathematics and Mathematics Extension 1 high potential and gifted pathway, as well as Business Studies Studies of Religion 2, and Japanese Accelerated. Madeline Howard and Mitchell Maloney received both E4 and Band 6 in Mathematics and Mathematics Extension 1, while Mia Benson achieved a Band 6 in Japanese.

BDC’s innovative, passionate, highly skilled, and dedicated staff have worked relentlessly both face-to-face and online throughout the Year 12’s journey, to provide the students with the best learning environment and skills for success in not only the HSC exams but more importantly in their professional life beyond.

Our BDC Alumni continue to set new heights around the world, from doctors, lawyers, academics and highly successful business people.

We consistently celebrate punching above our weight statewide and putting academia and leadership on the map for the Coffs Coast.

What an exciting future for these Coffs Coast graduates.

In a year like we have had in 2020, we could not be more proud of the grit, determination, persistence, and achievement of our graduates and accelerated students.

They are Alumni for life and will improve the world we live in for the coming generations.

Young People with Character

By Coffs Harbour Christian Community School WHAT a year 2020 has been to take on the HSC! Year 12 is already a significant year for students, and with a global pandemic in the midst of the HSC, 2020 offered up some new and unique challenges for students across the nation.

We want to take this opportunity to say well done to all Year 12 students across the Coffs Coast!

No doubt, the circumstances that you have faced will equip you for future challenges as they arise.

We are very proud that you demonstrated the resilience, adaptability and perseverance to continue and complete the HSC. The staff and Board of Coffs Harbour Christian Community School would like to congratulate the Coffs Harbour Christian Community School Class of 2020, on their outstanding achievements.

The students have accomplished excellent results, with over 68% of the cohort achieving at least one course mark above 80% and over 20% a mark above 90% (Band 6) in a course, with band 6’s achieved in 9 subjects.

Special congratulations to Petrus Becker, for achieving Dux of the School in 2020.

Not only have the students excelled academically, they have contributed significantly to their school and greater community.

Year 12 students at CHCCS led the

In addition, over $4,500 was raised for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Salvation Army, White Ribbon Foundation and school development projects.

A special mention to the Student Executive (and other contributors) for the tireless hours spent behind the scenes in planning each of these events.

The Student Executive was also instrumental in developing study skills presentations for students from Years 8 to 11. Each study session inspired students’ passion for learning in a very engaging and helpful manner.

Thank you also to the teachers and support staff, from Kindergarten to Year 12, that have invested deeply into the lives of each student.

You have played a significant role in the students’ academic, personal and spiritual growth, and for this we are very thankful.

We are grateful that so many of the CHCCS staff who go above and beyond expectations in devoting their time and energies to supporting and nurturing each individual student to reach their potential.

Class of 2020, we are very proud of the calibre of well-rounded young men and women you have become.

We appreciate the positive impact you have had on both our school and community.

Know that we will continue to pray for you as you transition into your next stage of life. God bless!

Leave 2020 in your rear-view mirror and travel safely this New Year NSW Police are encouraging motorists to travel through the holiday season with safety at top of mind, towards a better 2021.

The state-wide Christmas and New Year road-safety operation started at midnight (12.01am on Thursday 24 December 2020) and concludes 11.59pm on Sunday 3 January 2021.

Double-demerit points are in force throughout the period for speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences.

NSW Police officers will also be targeting other high-risk driver behaviour,

including the Four Ds; drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, reminded the community to enjoy the Christmas and New Year’s celebrations but importantly to arrive at your destination safely.

“Traditionally, we see more people on the roads during the festive season, and COVID-19 restrictions permitting, this year will be no different with people holidaying closer to home.

Drivers need to remember to be patient and allow extra

travel time,” Mr Elliott said.

“Double demerits will be in place and police will be on the roads making sure that the rules are being adhered to.

“I urge all motorists to obey the road rules and exercise extra caution to ensure that this festive season and the start of 2021 is safe for everyone.”

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb, said community safety is always the main priority for police.

“After the year that we have had, we want the community to arrive at their destinations safely to celebrate the festivities with family and

friends. Help us keep you and your loved ones safe, there is no excuse for reckless and selfish behaviour,” Assistant Commissioner Webb said.

“Police will have a presence on all roads across the state, from major motorways to rural backroads, so have a Plan B to get home safely if you’re drinking, keep to the speed limit and always wear seatbelts.

“We continue to encourage the public to report anyone they see or know of breaking the law with the Four Ds – drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving – to Crime Stoppers.”

Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said road crashes have claimed the

lives of 291 people in NSW so far this year and almost half of those fatalities involved speeding.

“It’s devastating that hundreds of families will celebrate Christmas without a loved one this year, and each one of those deaths was preventable,” Minister Constance said.

“The impact is massive for so many more people, with more than 11,000 injured in road crashes in 2019 alone.

“Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to travel, don’t speed, drive to the conditions, wear your seatbelt, avoid distractions, make sure you’re well rested and if you’ve been drinking or have taken drugs, don’t drive.”

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Paul Toole, said 179 of those killed on NSW roads so far this year died as a result of crashes on country roads.

“Country people make up only a third of NSW’s population but last year deaths on country roads made up two thirds of our road toll,” Minister Toole said.

“We are doing all we can to make the roads safer, however road safety is everyone’s responsibility.

“We are asking people to plan ahead, put the phone away, buckle up, slow down, take regular breaks and enjoy our roads safely this summer holiday,” he said.

Bellingen Growers and Artisans Market

TAFE Gifts Fee Free Summer & JobTrainer Courses

By Sandra MOON TAFE NSW Managing Director Steffen Faurby has announced fee free and low cost courses for Coffs Harbour locals as part of a landmark NSW Government initiative.

As a key aspect of the state’s COVID-19 Recovery Plan, the NSW Government has committed close to $160 million to match the Australian Government’s JobTrainer fund.

For school leavers and local job seekers, enrolments are open at TAFE NSW through the JobTrainer and Summer Skills programs.

If eligible for fee free JobTrainer courses there are a range on offer with most starting in February.

The courses are targeted at growth employment sectors such as healthcare, early childhood, community services, food sciences, agriculture, horticulture, accounting and finance, and building trades.

Mr Faurby urged locals to investigate how the JobTrainer and Summer Skills programs could help them gain the skills to be in-demand in the post-COVID jobs market.

“We have to skill the workforce to take advantage of future job opportunities which may be very different to jobs in the preCOVID economy,” Mr Faurby said.

“TAFE NSW is absolutely committed to ensuring NSW remains the most highly skilled workforce in the country.”

“We are working closely with industry to ensure we are delivering a pipeline of job-ready graduates armed with the latest skills to help kick-start the economy,” Mr Faurby said.

“It’s great for those on a gap year wanting to learn something new,” she said.

short course program is specifically designed to help school leavers bridge the gap from school to work, or school to further study.

“The Summer Skills program is a great opportunity for young people to get a taste of different industries and ensure they get a head start in the changing jobs market,” Mr Faurby said.

The Summer Skills programs are being held in January in Coffs Harbour at both the Coffs Harbour campus and Coffs Harbour Education campuses.

The courses available include Business Administration Skills, Building your Digital Literacy with Coding, First Aid for Early Childhood, Site ready Commercial Construction, Site Ready Electrotechnology.

Shoreline residents celebrate

EARLIER this month, Coffs Harbour’s newest retirement village celebrated Christmas with the first residents of The Shoreline.

There were drinks, canapés, and laughter as the depositors had their first chance to meet the developer over a celebratory glass of champagne.

The Shoreline is a $150-milliondollar luxury retirement development, ready for the residents to move in and start enjoying the state-of-the-art leisure facilities by early-2022.

The evening was abuzz with excitement as residents got to know their new neighbours and celebrate the festive season at Silvio’s Italiano Restaurant, just a short stroll from their new home at The Shoreline.

As the homes for The Shoreline are being quickly snapped up, the exclusive group of new residents had the chance to ask the developer, Steve Gooley, General Manager of Bachrach Naumburger Group questions about their new home.

“The new residents are a lively bunch, who are eager to move into their new homes and start living their dream retirement lifestyle here in Coffs Harbour,” said Mr Gooley.

“I promised my mum that I would put my heart and soul into delivering a retirement village not based on profits but focused on quality, luxury and lifestyle for the Coffs Harbour locals, and The Shoreline will be a testament to that promise.”

Trina Schaefer, The Shoreline’s Customer Service Consultant said the evening was a great success.

“It was wonderful to see the depositors get to meet each other and bond with their new neighbours.

“Many of the residents knew each other and were ecstatic that their friends were soon to become their neighbours.”

Road safety a priority

AUSTRALIANS are urged to keep safe while travelling this Christmas – a time when our roads can prove deadly.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said although the border to New South Wales was closed, many would still be travelling this holiday period.

“Over the past five years, an average of 40 people have died on our roads during the 12-day Christmas period,” Mr McCormack said.

“These aren’t just numbers but people who have left behind families and loved ones and our thoughts are with all of them this holiday period.

“Following the difficult year felt right around Australia, these holidays present many of us with the opportunity to reconnect with loved ones and recharge for the year ahead so it’s important we all do everything we can to make it a safe holiday period for all.

“Road safety is always important, but particularly over this holiday period. It has been a tough enough year and I urge everyone on our roads to think about their safety and the safety of others.

“One death on our roads is one too many, which is why we must all drive to the conditions, ensure everyone is buckled up, take regular breaks and not engage in risky road use – so we can all get to our holiday destinations and back home safely.”

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan, who chaired the Joint Select Committee on Road Safety, said as a former police officer, he knew the devastation road accidents caused and the importance of addressing road safety at all levels.

“While this is a time of the year full of merriment and joy, it is important this cheerfulness does not translate into risk-taking on our roads, particularly driving under the influence of alcohol

or while fatigued,” Mr Conaghan said.

“With the festive season getting into full swing, the Government calls on all Australians to plan ahead for safe ways home from functions and gatherings.”

Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz said while road safety is a shared responsibility, the Australian Government is prioritising road safety and has taken significant steps throughout the year to improve road safety for all Australians, including providing billions in funding for road safety works.

“As a former truck driver, I know the risks on our roads – this Government’s $2 billion Road Safety Program will apply lifesaving measures, predominantly to rural and regional roads, as well as protecting vulnerable road users,” Mr Buchholz said.

More information on Australian Government road safety initiatives is available at www. officeofroadsafety.gov.au.

A DEVELOPMENT application for a $5 million Women’s Group Home at Moonee Beach is to be determined by the Northern Regional Planning Panel, not Coffs Harbour City Council.

The development proposes the demolition of existing structures on the Solitary Islands Way site

THE Pink Silks Trust (PST) is a registered charity that has a strong emphasis on assisting local women’s health organisations with much needed equipment and services, as well as contributing to national research foundations on a yearly basis.

PST allocates 90% of all the funds raised to stay locally and 10% to research, in the hope of a cure or prevention.

The PST actively runs and assists several fundraising events throughout the year, so they can increase their message to various community demographics.

With over $1,000,000 raised in 13 years, substantial contributions go to directly helping women in our community and making a significant difference.

The Pink Silks Trust Committee consists of five hardworking and passionate people, who volunteer selflessly for the cause.

Each committee member has a focus to

help women in our local community and create a better awareness for health and well-being.

With the restricted fundraising with COVID in 2020, PST are only having two events, in restricted capacities.

Upcoming is the PST Golf Day held at Coffs Harbour Golf Club on Friday 8 January, and then the PST Ladies Race Day on Sunday 10 January.

Both events will have the same wonderful vibe and passion as previous years, but due to this year of COVID impacts, things will look different but have a Covid safe approach.

The events are less about fundraising and more about the enjoyment of social interaction between our community, showing our ongoing support of the Coffs Coast women battling a health diagnosis and showing our gratitude to all our supporters and sponsors over this year.

The Pink Silks committee hopes to see everyone there to join in the celebration of being able to have these fantastic events, after the year that has been.

The development application was publicly advertised by Council from 9 August to 6 September, and four submissions were received.

As the DA has been deemed a ‘regionally significant development’ and has a capital investment value of more than $5 million for a group home, it is required to be determined by the

Northern Regional Planning Panel and not Council.

Council staff have provided a development assessment report which recommends the development for approval, subject to conditions, to the Panel for determination.

The application is scheduled to be considered by the Northern Regional Planning Panel with a meeting date yet to be fixed in December, 2020.

That way, we can all acknowledge and celebrate our Emergency Service groups and personnel, our local artists who excel across all artistic mediums and the efforts of local business owners and farmers who have had to respond to and recover from the recent drought, fires, floods and the current pandemic crisis.

I think it’s also important that we don’t forget recognise some of the

Spades not chainsaws to combat Climate Change DEAR News Of The Area, THE piercing sound of busy chain saws is far too familiar a noise in Coffs Harbour.

Trees, it seems, are undervalued these days and the pressing question is why when climate change is pushing temperatures to extremes?

Back in the 1980s Coffs Harbour Council records show there were intensive tree planting programmes for high profile areas,

parks, commercial tourist spots, as well as streets.

Therefore it is implausible that today in 2020 many of those same trees, which have taken 40 years or more to grow are being removed.

Naturally there are valid reasons for tree removals - like falling branches, interference with electric cables, up-rooting

Dear Kelly, Ah, Date Night.

What sadist came up with a concept where people who have been married for decades need to go out and pretend they’ve just met. It is doomed to fail.

The very concept of Date Night, where two people go out to forget their responsibilities, their children and their mortgage to “enjoy themselves” (as quoted in the Cambridge Dictionary no less) seems to insinuate that non-Date Nights are not pleasurable at all.

Going on a date is smoke and mirrors, anticipatory stuff. You date when you are getting to know each other.

You don’t date when you’ve already been intimately exposed to every eccentricity, every habit, every political view, hell, let’s be honest here, every orifice of the person sitting opposite you.

You not only know your dining partner’s hobbies and interests, you know what they look like slumped over a plastic chair in the shower covered in their own vomit.

You know what they feel and sound like when they bite your arm and swear like a trooper when giving birth because lavender oil and deep breathing just doesn’t cut it.

You know what they smell like after you’ve roughed it together on a six-week camping trip.

You have a lifetime of bonding experiences, so revel in the good, try to erase the bad, and don’t think for one moment that a platter of overpriced Warrigal greens, red wine or an arthouse flick once a month will make one iota of difference.

Elemental Encounters FOR the Gumbaynggirr, the coastline is a source of food and of special places, such Giidany Miirlarl (Muttonbird Island) which is a traditional site, used for holding ceremonies in connection with the moon.

For the early colonial maritime community,

however, it was a means of transport, and one way to establish location - from Captain Cook’s naming of the Solitary Islands in 1770, charting expeditions, convict transportation and passenger and trading trips.

This area of the coastline was considered particularly

News Of The Area hazardous, with very few places to shelter a ship in bad weather.

In mid-July 1847, a ship named Vixen left Sydney for Newcastle but was blown 400 miles out to sea from strong southerly gales, unable to return to the coastline for two weeks.

On Vixen’s return, not only was it discovered they were as far north as the Bellinger River, but they also came across the ketch Brothers in ‘a distressed state’. In early September, the 27-ton ketch with its owner, Captain John Korff and his sons Frederick and Gordon aboard, had left Sydney for the Bellinger River, when they were also caught by the southerly wind.

Unable to render any assistance due to the weather, Vixen travelled on to the Richmond River, taking on a cargo of cedar before returning to Sydney.

In the meantime, Brothers was blown northward past Bellinger River, but managed to find refuge near Giidany Miirlarl and the adjacent headland, where Korff named the island Brothers, after his ketch.

Shortly afterwards, Brothers was reported as being wrecked on Crowdy Beach with only two men aboard, who rowed to the Manning River before returning to Sydney aboard another ship.

Although it is a mystery as to the whereabouts of the Korff men during the wreck, upon reaching Trial Bay, Captain Korff explained his findings to ‘Jack’ James.

James was the oldest and much respected trader to the Richmond River and it was he who reported the find to the authorities on behalf of Captain Korff.

Woolgoolga Wants an Iconic Advocates for Whale Trail, let Council know Advancement

OVER many years NBRA and Woolgoolga Chamber have made their message clear to Council to develop a world class scenic Whale Trail with safe pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle connection between Woolgoolga Beach Reserve and the existing headland coastal walk.

A Whale Trail should be able to be described by

words such as: spectacular, safe, educational and an eco tourism asset.

The Have Your Site is difficult to access as you need a username and password.

Let’s compare apples with The Bellingen Shire apples branding project - defining our spirit of place DEAR News Of The Area,

IN the Daily Telegraph December 11, Heather McKinnon, President of the Friends of the Regional Gallery with business premises two doors from the Gordon Street site of proposed Cultural/Civic Space, berated Gurmesh Singh for not supporting this project. Heather cited John Barilaro’s support of a ’similar’ project in Queanbeyan in his Monaro electorate.

There has been a lot of mention of ‘misinformation’ so let’s take a look.

The Queanbeyan project is a transformation and redevelopment of Council’s old administration building.

As the former administration building has been unoccupied since 2015, due to significant cost to replace heating and cooling systems, Council

staff is housed in 11 buildings across the CBD. Unlike the Coffs Harbour project, this proposed development makes very good financial sense.

The transformed building will consist of two towers encompassing Council chambers, offices, library, over 8,000sqm of public space, commercial rentable space, rooftop garden, 100 car spaces for office and public use and a spacious open air forecourt with gardens, seating and water feature.

And, wait for it…the building is linked internally to their recently upgraded Bicentennial Hall seating 600 and Performing Arts Centre seating 346, the latter with additional art gallery space.

Unlike Coffs Harbour, understandably there has been good community support for this project and with two floors being leased by the State Government, it is income producing as well.

There are two existing

performing arts facilities adjacent and it comes in slightly cheaper at a projected $74m.

Why would John Barilaro not support such a solid project?

At the beginning of this debacle the Mayor, Denise Knight, also put up as an example the Shellharbour Civic Centre.

Again there is no comparison.

Shellharbour has three large open space carparks within easy walking distance plus 100 free parks within the building and it is surrounded by open green space and again an attractive garden forecourt and is in a less densely developed CBD. Where’s the comparison?

And where’s the ‘misinformation’ coming from?

Is it a new art gallery at any cost, hang what the rest of the community wants?

Regards, Fran STEPHENSON, Coffs Harbour.

Blueberries: Woolgoolga dam & free irrigation water for Costa DEAR News Of The Area, BEFORE the bush fires and covid 19, the local media covered a Council

plan to give water from the Woolgoolga dam to Costa Blueberries (with opposition from many locals).

What became of this

issue?

Regards, D G Shephard, Coffs Harbour.

P.s. thanks for the local news coverage.

COUNCIL would like to invite the Bellingen Shire community to contribute to the development of a new tourism brand for the Shire and help create a landmark regional destination brand – one that defines the essence of our Shire and reflects the distinctive character of our special place.

A good brand can connect people with our culture, our heritage, and the natural world around us.

It should build our sense of place, strengthen our sense of community, embrace inclusivity, and enhance connection to this land.

An enduring, meaningful and compelling brand will help define and position the Shire, and appeal to likeminded visitors.

A strong and innovative brand will provide the foundation for the development of sustainable, responsible tourism, and help attract creative businesses to our Shire.

It will provide a strategic tool for Council, our tourism industry, business operators and community groups to expand opportunities

and engage in new ways, whilst fostering meaningful connections between people and our place.

The vision for the Bellingen Shire branding project is to capture the spirit of our place – to create a brand that respects and celebrates Gumbaynggirr culture, reflects who we are, embodies our values, captures the diversity of our people and places, and presents a unified and identifiable brand identity.

Council has appointed Fisher Design + Architecture to undertake the Bellingen Shire branding project, in collaboration with a team of local creative industry professionals including artist Brentyn Lugnan, designers Dee Texidor and Lisa Daley, and John Morse AM. As the first step toward creating a brand, Council welcomes your input.

Your thoughts, aspirations and ideas will inform the development of the brand and provide guidance to Council in order to make well informed, acceptable and sustainable

casting vote have been another cause for alarm, in spite of the fact that the retiring council member has said several times that she would have voted in support of the CCS had ill health not forced her to resign from council.

This would have made the Mayor's casting vote unnecessary.

This "secretive" movement is loosely based and is open to those who wish to see the city offering more than nice beaches and world class sporting fields. The aim is to inform ourselves about the vision for the city as a whole of which the Civic and Cultural space is a part, as is the planned

decisions.

You can provide input at a series of community feedback workshops to be held across the Shire during January and February 2021.

Community workshops currently scheduled are as follows: Monday 11 January 2021, Urunga - CWA Hall, 2.00 - 4.00pm Tuesday 12 January 2021 - Dorrigo - Community Hall, 3.30 - 5.30pm Thursday 14 January 2021, Bellingen - Youth Hub, 2.00 - 4.00pm For event bookings go to: https://www. trybooking.com/eventlist/ brandingproject.

You can also provide input via Council’s online engagement portal – Create at www.create. b e l l i n g e n . n s w . g o v. a u or by simply emailing bellingenbrandingproject@ gmail.com.

For further updates on consultation forums and to stay up to date with the project between now and then please stay tuned to www.create.bellingen. nsw.gov.au. Council are accepting feedback up until 26 February 2021.

Coffs Creek Cycleway Dear News Of The Area

WE are very disappointed in our council to maintain the areas we have already and not trying to beautify more when they can't keep up the maintenance with the beautiful areas we already have.

This is Coffs Creek at the moment to the right of the Dolphin Marine Conservation Centre.

A real disappointment for locals and visitors alike.

It is embarrassing we can't even clean up an area when there has been work and it has been left like this for nearly 6 weeks. The council did pipework around this area about 6 or more weeks ago and this is how they left it. They can't even clean up the bin that is in the middle of the area and anything else that is within

the fenced area. You will notice the sign which says "Welcome to Coffs Creek Cycleway" What a joke!!!!

The other area next to Coffs Creek about 50 metres further down has been left like this for 18 months and all the council does is put more fences around it. This was the walkway and jetty area which was completed a few years back but never maintained. The walkway is collapsing and there are huge holes next to the sleepers. Very poor indeed when we haven't got the money to maintain our very popular Coffs Creek yet the council want to build multi million dollar buildings to attract visitors when they let other things go to rack and ruin.

Secret and exclusive Dear News Of The Area

I HAD to smile during the week at a new movement in Coffs harbour being called "Secretive and exclusive" and feel I must "out" myself as a member.

Advocates for

Advancement grew out of conversations with local people who are dismayed and appalled at the vilification of elected representatives on the Coffs Harbour City Council, the mayor in particular, and the feeling of helplessness

and intimidation produced by the strident voices of the group in opposition to the project. Misinformation, untruths and mischievous rumours such as the lowering of the ceilings in the building and the lunacy around the mayor's

entertainment Centre, and there are growing numbers of those who have imagined themselves as lone voices amid all the noise. It is "exclusive" only in the sense that it does not welcome trolls.

In his nine seasons as the Travel Man, Richard Ayoade (pictured) has been on more than 40 minibreaks, travelling to cities near and far with celebrity companions for a 48-hour stay. Before Ayoade hands the reins over to incoming host Joe Lycett for season 10, the enigmatic presenter looks back at some of his greatest trips, as well as those he would rather have avoided. From a hot rod adventure in Vienna with The IT Crowd co-star Chris O’Dowd to scaling the Burj Khalifa with Johnny Vegas in Dubai and rafting in Florence with Rebel Wilson, it’s a reminder of how much fun overseas travel can be.

The end of an era is upon us with the final instalment of this long-running historical saga.

With just 10 episodes left, the series inspired

by Norse legends of Viking Ragnar Lothbrok comes down to an epic battle between his sons. When we last saw him, King Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig, above) had been stabbed and left for dead on a battlefield by his half-brother Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen). It seemed like the end of the road for the Ragnar’s heir, but his appearance in a teaser shown to fans at Comic Con earlier this year shows there is life in the warrior king yet. Tonight, in “King of Kings”, the grave consequences of the battle against the Rus’ become clear.

NIGELLA’S COOK, EAT, REPEAT

ABC, 7.30pm

What better year for the queen of comfort food to launch a new book and TV series than 2020, a year which many of us have survived with a wholehearted commitment to eating our feelings. Nigella definitely knows how to indulge, that food is far more than just fuel and how to bring good hearty food to every home cook’s weekly repertoire. This new series, premiering tonight, sees Nigella reveal the vintage cookbooks and social media posts that have served as inspiration for her recipes. While mastering the basics is important, Nigella prompts us to experiment with ingredients to expand what we think is possible in the kitchen.

Public comment called on draft rating reform Bill

By Emma DARBIN AN EXPOSURE Draft Bill on local government rating reform has been released for public consultation as part of the NSW Government’s commitment to implement reforms to ensure a fairer and more flexible rating system for councils and ratepayers.

The Bill proposes to implement key elements of the Government’s response to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal’s

(IPART’s) review of the local government rating system, which was released in June 2020.

Councils, ratepayers and other interested individuals and organisations are invited to provide feedback to help shape the final Bill, which is intended to be introduced into NSW Parliament in early 2021.

A consultation guide titled ‘Towards a Fairer Rating System’ has also been released to explain the proposed changes to help

guide submissions.

Submissions will be received until close of business 5 February 2021.

The NSW Government is committed to a package of reforms to ensure the local government rating system is equitable and responsive to community needs.

These reforms will ensure councils have a stable and reliable revenue base, and provide greater flexibility for councils and ratepayers, enabling a fairer distribution of the rating

burden.

As most the reforms require changes to the Local Government Act 1993, a Bill - the Local Government Amendment (Rating) Bill 2021 has been prepared.

If passed by the NSW Parliament, this Bill will allow councils to levy special rates for infrastructure jointly funded with other levels of government outside the rate peg without IPART approval, create a new rating category for environmental land, create more flexibility for councils to create rating subcategories for

www.newsofthearea.com.au residential land, business land and farmland (including vacant land), amend exemptions that apply to water and sewerage special rates and to land subject to conservation agreements, require councils to report the value of exemptions they grant each year, narrow the scope to postpone rates and let councils choose whether to write them off, and allow councils to sell properties for unpaid rates after three years rather than five years.

Further rating reforms that do not rely on the Bill will be implemented by making changes to regulations and releasing new guidance in 2021.

In part, this includes

aligning rating income growth with population growth to help councils provide for growing communities within the rate pegging system while still protecting residents from sudden, excessive rate rises.

The Minister has asked IPART to recommend a new rate peg methodology that allows the general income of councils to be varied each year in a way that accounts for population growth.

The Exposure Draft Bill and ‘Towards a Fairer Rating System’ Consultation Guide are available on the Office of Local Government website at https://www.olg. nsw.gov.au/councils/policyand-legislation/fairerrating-system-consultation.

Cyclists Beware At Airport Many Coffs Coast cyclists include a loop through the airport as part of their ride.

q The wire is difficult to see and prevents pedestrians and cyclists from crossing lanes.

By Andrew VIVIAN

Parents urged to monitor children’s online activities THE Australian Federal Police (AFP) is urging parents and carers to educate themselves about technology gifted to their children this holiday season.

Some technology can be connected to the internet, meaning children can communicate with strangers, without the knowledge of parents.

The AFP recommends parents and carers

supervise young people when they are playing games, communicating or watching programs.

It is also important caregivers understand how the technology their children are using works and connects online.

In 2020, the AFP charged 187 people with 1,966 alleged child abuserelated offences.

Reports of online child sexual exploitation spiked

this year, with perpetrators taking advantage of COVID-19 lockdowns to access and share horrific content, as well as to target children and young people who were spending an increasing amount of time online.

Offenders are typically more active during school holidays and will try to groom children or obtain online child sexual exploitation material.

Commander ACCCE and Child Protection Hilda Sirec said parents and carers needed to be engaged in their child’s online activities.

“We will never give up the fight to keep children safe and we are appealing for help from parents and carers,” Ms Sirec said.

“We know this is a busy time of year, but please talk to your children about who they interact with

MANY Coffs Coast cyclists include a loop through the airport as part of their ride.

Recently, what appears to be an unannounced change to traffic conditions requires them to be particularly cautious.

The pick up lane has been wired off for its entire length, including the yellow bollards through which pedestrians previously left the arrival hall and cyclists had used to change lanes to use the outer loop road.

The only gap in the wire is half-way along, at the pedestrian crossing.

At least two cyclists have been injured because the wire is very difficult to see, according to the cyclists who spoke to News Of The Area.

The original ‘no cyclists’ sign is at the start of the fenced off taxi lane but there does not appear to be any online and what platforms, apps and games they are using.

“Supervision is not only critical to prevent an incident occurring, but can also help adults to quickly take action if something goes wrong.”

Top tips to keep your child safe online include having regular open conversations with them about their online activities, supervising your child and knowing what they are doing online, checking your child’s privacy settings on their devices, being approachable if your child needs help, knowing

signs warning of the change.

Several strands of red and white tape have appeared on the wires but there are none at the bollards where cyclists have previously entered to turn into the outer loop road.

One cyclist, who fell, said that someone came out from the airport and the only response to the fall was to say that ‘cyclists weren’t allowed in the airport at all’.

Social media comments to date have been very negative towards the change, and some have pointed out that another consequence is that, because there is no longer access to the pick up lane for private vehicles, passengers are going to get very wet when making their way to the car park in the rain.

Others have questioned the reasons for the change which does not appear to be ‘community-friendly’.

how to report an online incident, and consider establishing a Family Online Safety Contract which is designed to help parents and carers start online safety discussions with their children.

If your child is experiencing issues online, it is essential to collect evidence by taking screenshots or photographs of the content, then block and report on the app, site or platform where the issue occurred.

If you believe a child is in imminent danger call police on 000 or visit your local police station.

New Woolgoolga Playground opens to the public play equipment over the school holidays.

The playground is part of the $1.2 million Stage One of Reserve improvements, which includes new amenities, the new playground,

landscaping, new footpaths and three accessible tables and shelters.

As well as an adventure tower for older children, the play space includes an inclusive carousel, a hammock, and sand pit with sand diggers, and a triple swing set including a nest swing as well as standard swings.

The shaded Junior play area includes timber decks, steppers and balance logs, rocks and low planting,

protecting public assets from current and future hazards and ensuring safe and sustainable access to the estuaries.

It will also provide an opportunity to develop a strategic, long-term approach to management of the estuaries.

The Woolgoolga Region Estuaries Coastal Management Program follows a five stage process which will include extensive engagement with the local community and user groups, and relevant government

agencies.

Council is calling on anyone who is interested in, values, or lives near any of these estuaries to have a say in their future management.

There will be opportunities for community involvement in the project during Stages Three and Four.

Stage One of the Coastal Management Program was finalised in late 2020 with a Scoping Study report developed that outlines the key issues and sets a plan for the remaining stages.

Stage Two of the Program is about to commence, and will investigate the issues identified by the community

Program to better manage Woolgoolga estuaries

By Emma DARBIN A COASTAL Management Program for Woolgoolga region estuaries is being established by Coffs Harbour City Council to help manage and enhance the local estuaries.

The new Program will cover the estuaries of Darkum Creek, Woolgoolga Lake, Willis Creek and Hearnes Lake.

These estuaries are currently facing increasing pressures from upper catchment agricultural land

usage, urban development and climate change.

The Program will consider estuary and catchment health issues such as bank erosion, water quality, catchment and sediment inflows, as well as recreational amenity among others.

The Program will enable the funding and implementation of projects that will provide tangible benefits to the local community through maintaining healthy ecosystems and biodiversity,

and a low grass mound providing opportunities for creative and active play.

Much of the playground has sun shelter and three sides of the playground will be fenced.

The new amenities block is expected to open soon, meanwhile the existing amenities block will remain open for public use while final works on the Reserve continue.

The existing amenities block and the old playground will be removed following the end of the NSW school holidays, possibly from February.

in Stage One, using the latest data and information, to determine the cause of estuary issues and impacts.

Stage Three will occur through early to mid 2021, and will develop a list of potential management actions to address these issues.

The community will be asked for further involvement through community drop-in sessions to identify, rank and prioritise these options during this stage.

Stage Four will develop the final Coastal Management Program Plan of Action through the second half of 2021, and will state all the actions that need to be implemented.

Following this stage, the Program will be placed on

The next stage of the Reserve upgrade will include new paths and beach access, in alignment with the adopted Woolgoolga Beach Masterplan.

The project is being funded by Coffs Harbour City Council and the NSW Government (Everybody Can Play & Stronger Country Communities Funding).

public exhibition.

Stage Five will involve the ongoing implementation of the Coastal Management Program actions over a ten year period.

The Program is initiated through Council and funded jointly by Council and the NSW State Government’s Coast and Estuary Grants Program.

Swimmers Excel STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 40 Phillips finished sixth in the 13-14-Year-Old Boys 200m backstroke.

Mitchell Hickey finished seventh in his 16-Year-Old Boys 1500m freestyle event, while Bella Teale came seventh in the 12-13-YearOld Girls 100m Backstroke, and Lilly Geddes finished ninth in the 14-Year-Old Girls 400m Individual Medley.

In addition to their top ten finishes, the six swimmers recorded over 30 personal best times.

Coach of the super six swimmers Sarah-Jane Weir

said they had achieved something special in Sydney.

“These are truly amazing results for our region, and something that hasn’t been achieved in a number of years,” she said.

“To have so many athletes place so highly and rank in the top of the state, some of these events had over 50 competitors so the results are phenomenal, “These athletes train out of a 20m pool at Harbour Swim School, making these results even more spectacular.”

By Pamela WATSON URUNGA’S Noela McCabe celebrated her 80th birthday on Monday 14 December.

Noela is a tireless worker for many of Urunga’s clubs including the fishing club and ladies bowling club.

Noela has always been the first to put her hand up to get things done.

Urunga Bowling Club regards Noela so highly that she has recently been awarded a life membership, not something given out lightly, and the members

were delighted on hearing the special news.

Urunga Ladies gathered at the OVH Hotel to help Noela celebrate her 80th birthday, filling the dining room to near capacity.

Ladies who have not held a bowl for many years joined

us, showing how much Noela is loved.

We wish her many more years as our bowls Social Club Chairperson, and thank her for all her hard work and commitment to the Ladies Bowls.

Boambee appoint former Australian international

By AIDEN Burgess THEY’VE been the dominant force of North Coast Football’s premier competition in recent seasons.

Now the Boambee Bombers are set to have a former Australian international guide them in 2021.

The Bombers have appointed former A-League player Troy Hearfield as their coach for the upcoming Coastal Premier League season.

Hearfield brings to the Bombers a wealth of top-class domestic and international experience, having played 116 A-League games for the Newcastle Jets, Wellington Phoenix, and Central Coast Mariners between 2006 and 2013.

He has also represented Australia in junior internationals between 2006 and 2008, having

earnt 19 international caps for the under-20 and under-23 national squads.

The Tamworth native has recently been playing for his hometown club Tamworth FC, and also played for the Bombers during their FFA Cup campaign this year.

Hearfield is set to take charge of a Bombers squad who are the defending Coastal Premier League Northern Conference champions, and runners-up of the inaugural Coastal Premier League.

The Coastal Premier League is an inter-regional competition featuring clubs from North Coast Football and Football Mid North Coast which made its debut this year.

The Coastal Premier League season kicks off on 10 April, with the Bombers set to begin training in January.
