Urgent Care Clinic to ease pressure on hospital

q City of Coffs Harbour councillor Tony Judge (right), pictured with June and Bill Smith outside the hospital, believes the Urgent Care Clinic will make a huge difference to people who need medical treatment on the Coffs Coast.

By Andrea FERRARI AN Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) operated by Medicare will open in Coffs Harbour following an Expression of Interest process.

CHC Medical will be reestablished as the Coffs Harbour Medicare UCC, and is expected to start seeing patients in November.

The Medicare UCC will make it easier for people to get the urgent treatment they need, from highly qualified doctors and nurses, while taking pressure off Coffs Harbour's busy hospital.

Urgent Care Service centres provide medical care for such conditions as suspected fractures, sprains and dislocations, wound management and cuts requiring stitches, bites, minor burns and the removal of foreign objects from skin, eyes and ears.

The Medicare UCC will be open for extended hours, seven days a week, and offer walk-in care that is fully bulk billed.

More than 45 percent of presentations to the Coffs Harbour Hospital are for nonurgent or semi-urgent care.

City of Coffs Harbour councillor Tony Judge told News Of The Area, “The Urgent Care Clinic will make a huge difference to people who need medical treatment on the Coffs Coast.

“So many people have spoken to me in the last year or two about waiting times in Emergency at Coffs Harbour Hospital.

“The Urgent Care Clinic will take a lot of pressure off services at the Hospital and give patients a real alternative, especially out of hours.”

The Urgent Care Clinic will fill a lot of different needs.

“It will be especially welcomed by parents who need medical care for a child at night, people without a regular GP and patients who need urgent care but don’t feel comfortable taking up a spot in Emergency,” said Tony.

“The option of a bulk billed appointment with a doctor on short notice will improve health outcomes and relieve financial stress on individuals and families.

“It is a very welcome announcement for the Coffs Coast,” he added.

This clinic will join seven clinics that are already operational in Albury, Rooty Hill, Cessnock, Penrith, Maroubra, Westmead, Tamworth and Wollongong.

More clinics will open over the coming weeks and all clinics will be open before the end of the year.

Mark Butler MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care said, “The Coffs Harbour Medicare UCC is going to make a big difference to patients in the greater Coffs Harbour area.

“Local communities will be able to walk in, see a doctor or nurse and access imaging and pathology services.

“This clinic will ease pressure on the

Coffs Harbour Hospital, allowing them to concentrate on higher priority emergencies.

“The Albanese Government is committed to strengthening Medicare and making it easier and cheaper to get quality healthcare, by tripling the bulk billing incentive and making medicines cheaper.”

Senator Tim Ayres, Duty Senator for Cowper commented, “The Coffs Harbour Medicare UCC will mean people in this community who need urgent but not acute care, can get it quickly even if it’s outside standard hours – and all they’ll need is their Medicare card.

“It’s particularly important in a regional area like Coffs Harbour, where local EDs have to service a huge catchment area.

“This UCC will ease the pressure on local EDs, whilst also being more convenient for the local Coffs community.

“The Albanese Government is investing in Medicare and our regional centres, to ensure that families across the country can access healthcare no matter where they live.”

The Coffs Harbour Medicare UCC is located at Level One Suite 105-107, 343 - 345 Pacific Hwy, Coffs Harbour NSW 2450.

Logging protesters given good behaviour bonds without convictions

LOGGING protesters Ruby Oliver-King and Tiffany Daro were sentenced at Coffs Harbour Local District Courthouse last week for their actions to protect native forests by disrupting forestry operations over recent months.

The pair faced charges for locking themselves to the arm of a 45-tonne harvesting machine on June 7 in Orara East State Forest on Coffs Harbour’s outskirts.

Ms Oliver-King and Ms Daro both received no conviction and an eighteenmonth good behaviour release each.

Gumbaynggirr custodian Sandy Greenwood supported the actions of the protesters.

"We stand in solidarity with our allies, Ruby and Tiff, who have listened deeply to our calls as traditional custodians to protect country and Gumbaynggirr cultural heritage,” Ms Greenwood said.

“We will continue working as a unified force to permanently end all native forest logging.”

Ms Oliver King expressed frustration at being forced to justify the reasoning behind actions taken to halt logging operations.

“I find it agonising that we have been asked to defend our motivations to protect such places when the facts are available for all people, that these cultural places and ecosystems should remain un-logged.

“This fight isn’t going to conveniently go away for industry until native forest logging has been closed down for good.”

Harlen - faced the same charges for similar actions in Newry State Forest in August, where there has been a lengthy standoff between hundreds of community members and traditional owners against logging contractors.

Dubbed the 'Newry 4', the protesters have had their matters adjourned to May 2024 after pleading “not-guilty” to all charges.

Aunty Lauren Jarrett, Gumbaynnggirr

Elder and traditional custodian, said, "We support our brave forest protectors.

“Their deep respect for Gumbaynggirr traditional owners, our culture and our forests give us strength to keep fighting.

“They are our friends, they give us hope for the future.

“We work side by side to save our culture, animals and trees from further destruction."

‘ALARMING’ LOGGING Penny Sharpe and Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty seeking an urgent meeting to discuss the impacts of native forest logging on biodiversity, water quality and bush fire safety in their LGAs. The councillors claim that numerous endangered species have taken refuge in unburnt areas of forest that “are currently being logged at an alarming rate”.

With a potentially very hot summer following a hot and dry winter, the councillors are concerned about the effect of

bushfires on flora and fauna, some of which has not yet fully recovered from the fires of 2019.

As well as biodiversity being at higher risk of extinction, the councillors assert that tourism and the ‘ecosystem services’ that are relied on for growing food and producing employment might also be adversely affected.

The impact on the water quality of rivers and waterways because of increased sediment load associated with current logging practices is concerning them because, they say, the

use of very large harvesting machinery and associated wide roading works are resulting in large loads of sediment sitting above water catchments.

The councillors note that the steep topography of the region, combined with heavy rainfall events, could result in devastating consequences for vital rivers, streams, and wetlands.

They say that anxiety about the ability of water providers to be able to deliver safe and secure water to communities is real in light of the coming dry period and water shortages experienced in the region in 2019.

BUSINESSES from various industries across the Coffs Coast were elated to receive the news that they have been named finalists in the region’s prestigious Coffs Coast Business Awards.

Proudly hosted by the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce, with major sponsor Regional Australia Bank, the Awards provide a platform to showcase local businesses and individuals striving for excellence and achieving sustained growth.

Chamber President Ray Smith said that this year’s Awards received a record number of entries, with many

high calibre submissions, leaving judges with a considerably hard task ahead of them.

“Our judges are blown away with the standard of submissions this year amongst the nineteen different categories.

“We are amazed at the achievements of local businesses and look forward to sharing their stories and celebrating their success at the awards night,” said Mr Smith.

“The Coffs Coast Business Awards are all about celebrating local business excellence and recognising

the vital contributions businesses make to our local economy.”

Businesses from as far north as Woolgoolga, down to Urunga and across to Bellingen and Dorrigo have been named finalists in the awards.

Winners will be announced at the Night in Lights Awards gala dinner at Pacific Bay Resort on Saturday 25 November 2023.

Everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy a night of great food, networking and celebrating!

A major fear is that logging practices will increase the impact of bushfires.

The councillors cite a study by Professor David Lindenmayer from the Australian National University (ANU) that states ”logged forests always burn at greater severity that intact forests” and “logging increases the probability of canopy damage by five to 20 percent and leads to long-term elevated risk of higher severity fire”.

Studies such as this, coupled with the recent severe wildfires in the Northern Hemisphere, have led the councillors to believe that the risk to residents’ lives

and property is too high to allow native forest logging to continue.

Bellingen Shire Councillor Dominic King, one of the signatories, said, “The letter supports a motion passed at the Local Government NSW conference in 2022 that advocates for the end of native forest logging in New South Wales.

“A recent visit to Europe highlighted the need for urgent action to halt native forest logging to protect our LGAs.” A spokesperson for Minister Sharpe confirmed that the letter has been received and that the Minister

is considering its contents.

The letter was co-signed

by Cr Dominic King, Cr Jennie Fenton, Cr Ellie Tree and Cr Jo Brotherton (Bellingen Shire Council), Cr David Jones, Cr Susan Jenvey and Cr Ricky Buchanan (Nambucca Shire Council), Cr Jonathan Cassell, Cr Sally Townley and Cr Tony Judge (Coffs Harbour City Council), Cr Arthur Bain, Cr Alexandra Wyatt and Leo Hauville (Kempsey Shire Council), Cr Lauren Edwards and Cr Lisa Intemann (Port Macquarie Hastings Council), Cr Greg Clancy (Clarence Valley Council) and Cr Dheera Smith (Mid Coast Council).

THE WIIGULGA Sports Complex has gained another accolade, this time for its excellent architecture.

The popular City of Coffs Harbour facility, on Solitary Islands Way, Woolgoolga, has received a commendation in the Public Architecture category of the NSW Country Division Architecture Awards run by the Australia Institute of Architects (AIA).

seating 700 people, and backstage facilities including a green room.

The AIA judging panel stated, “The Wiigulga Sports Complex provides a facility with far greater reach than its name suggests.

“The building, while primarily focused on providing high quality sports facilities, caters for an entire diverse community.

“The legibility and flexibility of the facility is key to its success; comfortably transitioning from an indoor sports hall to a theatre to a function centre all within a day.

“The integration of First Nations voices in the planning stages and art and culture in the finished building is visible throughout and provides another layer of sophistication to the building.”

In May Wiigulga Sports Complex was named a finalist at the Parks and Leisure Australia Awards of Excellence.

“This facility just keeps on delivering for our community,” said City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos.

“It shows what great results you can get when a facility is truly designed for

the community it serves.”

The acting Director City Planning and Communities, Ian Fitzgibbon, said the flexible, multipurpose nature of the complex has proven extremely popular, creating a new hub of community activity for the area.

“The building has been designed to be multi-purpose.

“Whether you are wanting to play basketball or pickleball, cycle the pump track, have a coffee or meet friends for a yoga session, this facility has it all,” Ian said.

“Congratulations to everyone who played a part in the design and the build.”

Woolgoolga remembers

THE REMEMBRANCE Day service in Woolgoolga on Saturday 11 November 2023 will mark the 105th Commemoration of the Armistice that ended the Great War, the 70th year following the Korean War armistice and the 50th after the conclusion of Australian combat operations in Vietnam.

The number of Australian Service Members killed in action or died of wounds during the First World War was 61,674.

“This number, our nation's greatest ever sacrifice in the defence of liberty against tyranny, continues to increase as investigation reveals more of our glorious dead,” Woolgoolga RSL sub-Branch Secretary Christopher Chayko told News Of The Area.

40,740 more Australian Service Members have given their lives in service to the country since that time.

“Remembrance Day is of great significance to Woolgoolga as fourteen men, who were residents or had connection to the town, gave their lives during the Great War. “It is particularly poignant as almost all of those were killed in action or died of wounds on the Western Front in France and Belgium.

“They rest beneath the poppies far from home,” he said.

Giving further context to the local loss, Christopher added, “From a tiny population in 1914-18, fourteen was a huge sacrifice for a small town to make and it is still keenly felt by the families which remain, and indeed by most of the community.

“We will remember them.”

For Saturday’s service, the Woolgoolga community is respectfully requested to assemble for the service at the Diggers Club forecourt Memorial by no later than 10.30am.

Proceedings are expected to conclude by 11.15.

During the Service, the poem 'In Flanders Fields' will be recited by a Woolgoolga High School student.

The presentation will be made to distinguished Woolgoolga citizen Allan Crouch OAM RFD. Woolgoolga RSL sub-Branch stated that Ex-Service gentlemen are requested to wear a suit or jacket and tie with full medals, ladies accordingly.

In the event of very warm weather a collared shirt and full medals will be appropriate.

City exceeds projected budget surplus by $18 million THE CITY of Coffs Harbour has announced its financial outcomes for the 2022/23 period, exceeding the projected budget surplus by $18 million.

“I’m delighted to report the City achieved an operating surplus of $26.05 million in 2022-23 before capital grants and

contributions,” said the City’s Mayor, Cr Paul Amos.

“This accomplishment reaffirms our financial resilience and assures us of our ability to execute our plans, including our adjusted capital works program.”

In the October 30 Council meeting, Council formally adopted the audited Annual

Financial Statements for 2022/2023.

“The City made a series of challenging yet imperative decisions during 2022/23 to bring about a significant financial turnaround,” said the General Manager, Natalia Cowley.

Better bus network

By Andrea FERRARI

A BETTER bus network for the Coffs Harbour was launched to locals by Transport for NSW with an information pop-up tent on a wet and windy day at Woolgoolga on Friday 27 October.

The new timetable became effective on Monday 30 October.

Transport for NSW Director North Region Anna Zycki said the new timetable includes more than 200 extra bus services each week, around a nineteen percent increase.

“Coffs Harbour is a growing area, but getting

around doesn’t have to involve getting in a car,” said Anna.

“These new services have been designed so people can catch buses to places they want to get to, at the times they want to travel.

“It has been a huge undertaking because Coffs Harbour’s bus network is one of the state’s largest, covering an area from Grafton and Red Rock in the north, to Macksville and Grassy Head in the south, as well as Bellingen and Bowraville in the west.

“There are also more ways to travel, with the expansion of the popular

encompassing our prudent handling of debt.”

Cowley said the new financial security ideally positions the City to “channel its energies into realising the collective vision of our community – to build a great place to live, work, visit and do business into the future”.

According to the City, key drivers of the result were a $4.331 million increase in Interest and Investment

Revenue due to improved forecasted interest rate returns, and $8.169 million in additional Other Revenues due to an increase in Coastal Works commercial works, primarily from work for councils in other parts of the State.

An additional $5.704 million in revenue came mainly from Holiday Parks, which have seen significant recent investment by the

City for upgraded cabins and other facilities.

There were also some one-off revenue opportunities such as the sale of car park land and bypass land acquisitions.

The City’s Financial Statements are audited by the Audit Office of NSW, ensuring the credibility and transparency of our financial achievements.

q Locals popped in to Transport for NSW’s information tent at Woolgoolga Skate Park to learn more about the new bus network for Coffs Harbour.

Woopi Connect service meaning that as well as timetabled bus services, people also have the flexibility of on-demand transport,” she said.

“The improved and expanded bus network has created a total of 38 additional full-time and part-time bus driver jobs at operators Busways and Forest Coach Lines.”

Transport for NSW has worked closely with City of Coffs Harbour, Forest Coach Lines and Busways to plan the new bus network which is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s 16 Regional Cities Services Improvement Program.

Ephemeral art and concrete poetry

By Andrea FERRARI

EPHEMERAL art and concrete poetry are the focus of Artists in the Garden’s November gathering.

True to its original purpose, the diversity of art and the talent of local artists continues to be celebrated at the final Artists in the Garden (AITG) event of 2023 on Sunday 5 November at Coffs’ Botanic Garden from 12-noon until 3pm.

“We are proud to be the launch of talented local singer songwriter Charlie Davis’ first debut single, ‘Our Hearts, Our Minds’,” AITG Director

Tammy Mills-Thom told News Of The Area.

“Charlie will be supported by co-creator Corrie Wade of CW Music Academy.”

AITG Director James P Gilmour will lead an interactive and guided art experience entitled ‘Concrete Poetry’.

“Concrete poems are objects composed of words, letters, colours, and also use graphic space in its impact,” James told NOTA. “We have a wonderful core of spoken word artists on the day, including Dianne Curran and Jaiden Whitton.

“We’ll create a

“This is the last AITG event for 2023,” Tammy shared.

“To celebrate and honour the space which has given so much to public art, together we will create an ephemeral art piece using found objects from the garden; the finished creation will be a mandala of beauty and contemplation.

Coffs Christmas Lunch City of Coffs Harbour News 4 U seeks sponsorship Spotlight

By Andrea FERRARI

A CHRISTMAS lunch, free and for the people, is once again in the making for those with no place to go on Christmas Day 2023, however financial support is being sought to ensure the event’s success.

Formerly known as the Coffs Christmas Community Lunch, a new committee has been formed to take the event forward under the new name of ‘Coffs Christmas Lunch 4 U’.

Doris Cowan, who has led the event for the past two years, has passed on the baton to Ange Anderson, Mary O’Callaghan, Nick Newling and his partner Lindsay Hansen.

“We hope to be able to provide a friendly, inclusive, welcoming place for people who do not have anyone to share Christmas lunch with, who are maybe displaced or don’t have local support around,” said Ange Anderson.

“We want everyone in the Coffs community to know that someone cares about them.”

The committee’s goal is for anyone who joins the lunch to have a great time, feel valued and enjoy a meal with new friends.

Christmas can be a lonely or confronting time of year for many people.

“There’s a lot of hype and

pressure around this time of year, and to have a big family Christmas with all the trimmings.

“Some members of the community may be doing it tough at the moment, not have support around, and feel isolated.

“The Christmas Day lunch is a way of showing those people that it’s okay to be alone, because at our lunch, everyone is welcome and doesn't have to feel alone.”

The organising team are now calling out to the Coffs community for funding support.

“We have come into organising the event with zero funds and the biggest contribution any business can make is financial.”

The event’s major sponsor from the past five-plus years has had to cease sponsorship this year, meaning the organisers are desperately seeking funds to support the lunch.

“We are calling on Coffs and surrounds businesses or groups to dig deep and gift/ sponsor the Coffs Community Christmas Lunch 4 U with $100 (or more).”

Without this support, organisers say the event cannot go ahead.

“We acknowledge that everyone is coping with

cost-of-living expenses, and acknowledge businesses are also suffering, that’s why we have nominated for $100 each business to hopefully lighten the load on any one business and share the contributions throughout the business community.”

The new committee thanked past sponsors of the annual Christmas lunches, which originated as the Orphans Christmas lunch, which have been running for around fourteen years on the Coffs Coast, and hope many previous supporters come on board this year.

“So we can be assured that funds will be gifted this year we ask businesses or other groups to make their pledge by contacting us via email at coffschristmaslunchforu@ gmail.com by Tuesday 7 November 2023.”

Alternatively, if you would like to speak to one of the organisers, please contact Ange on 0434 080 174 or Mary on 0432 130 457.

To put businesses at ease, please note it will only be Ange, Mary, Nick or Lindsay who will approach a business face-to-face for any sponsorship, who will be happy to provide some form of ID to eliminate any potential scamming from other parties.

21st Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival better than ever

By Mary KEILY

THE town of Dorrigo is buzzing after hosting the 21st Folk and Bluegrass Festival.

The three-day event featured concerts, workshops, dances, children’s events and jamming, with musicians travelling from as far as New Zealand, Canada and the US. The Old Time Music School, which has been going for five years, ran during the week prior, with overseas tutors and locals teaching specialised classes for banjo, fiddle, upright bass, guitar and voice.

One of the major events for the Bellingen Shire each year, Director Bridget Rees couldn’t be happier with this year’s Festival.

“We had some rain which was most welcomed and everything was such a good quality, such as the marquees and the performances, that nobody minded a little bit of rain,” Bridget told NOTA. “All the venues were well filled and the acts well supported and the workshops well attended.

q

q Parvyn andJohn Bennett presented an Indian dance workshop to students at the Dorrigo Primary School.

“People from everywhere mingled in the food court and the kids had fun in the circus tent.

“Everywhere was beautifully busy,” said Bridget.

The Festival comes highly recommended by visiting overseas bands who urge others to apply to play in Dorrigo.

Festival director Bridget Rees.

“We love our musicians as they are part of our family, and a lot have come back numerous times in different band configurations,” said Bridget.

“It’s also important for the overseas artists

who come here, because then they tour and their skills/instrumentation are available for more people.

“All the artists are on one level - they are here to learn from those artists who have been in the industry for a lot

longer and have more skill.

“It’s just lovely to see them all intermingling,” said Bridget.

The Festival is different from many similar events in that the venue is alcohol, drug and smoke free.

“That makes a significant difference, because it allows families to feel that they can bring their kids to it and they can take them into a concert and there’s not going to be a ‘yahooer’ at the back,” Bridget said.

“Also the venues are decorated beautifully as you can never have enough bunting and that allows a creative element for the community to participate in that.”

Bridget is already beginning to plan next year’s event.

“It’s put Dorrigo on the map, we’ve got people all over the world talking about Bluegrass, talking about Dorrigo, talking about the Festival.

“There have been amazing tunes and songs written about Dorrigo which are played all over the world.

“One has just been released by a Canadian called Andrew Collins ‘Return to Dorrigo’ - which could be a hint from him that he wants to return!”

Bridget said.

master plans for the proposed Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk and the Dorrigo Arc Rainforest Centre, as well as a new draft plan of management for Dorrigo National Park, Bindarri National Park and Bindarri State Conservation Area.

The Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk focuses on maintaining low-impact visitation with sustainable facilities, incorporating

shorter walking options for day visitors and less experienced walkers.

The Walk is part of a network of thirteen 'Great Walks' being established across NSW to offer world-class multiday walking experiences.

The proposed new Dorrigo Arc Rainforest Centre is a whole new development of the existing visitor centre with a new, accessible pathway leading into the national park

designed to be an accessible Gondwana Rainforest experience.

It will offer people with limited mobility the opportunity to experience the World Heritage-listed rainforest around them while they learn about this unique ecosystem.

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL Women In Food, the theme of the bi-annual Coffs Coast Long Lunch, drew a full-house of guests to hear from a diverse collection of producers.

The grazing, browsing, and delicious lunch took place on Saturday 28 October at Shearwater Restaurant’s event space, which opens onto a deck overlooking Coffs Creek.

Armed with samples, the four women spoke in a chatty interview-style presentation with Coffs Coast Long Lunch founder and organiser Awia Markey.

Fuelled by the knowledge that “what you cook and what you eat is what you become”,

Emerald Beach mother Juliana had developed a tight range of kimchi, a Korean speciality.

“I want to be aware of where the ingredients in my food come from,” she said.

“It’s easy to forget the importance of how our food is made; our busy lives require us to balance convenience with good quality ingredients.”

A specialty coffee producer, Charelle is on a mission to provide the Mid North Coast with home grown, smooth and delicious Arabica coffee, from her farm in Grassy Head.

Producing small yields initially to great demand, with her partner Dan, she has a plantation on track for harvesting in three years.

“Our products

consistently receive awards as part of the Annual Golden Bean Australasia Coffee Roasting Competitions, with the next event being held on November 14-18, 2023,” said Charelle.

Alicia grows flowers at Sandy Beach and is a lowflower miles advocate.

She sells bouquets of whimsical, evocative flowers which are spray free.

Her two Peking Ducks are the resident bug catchers.

Coramba farmer, Leeharne, fired with enthusiasm for experimenting with innovative ingredient combinations, is building a reputation as a cake maker extraordinaire and chef of mouth-watering dishes, along with quiches, jams and high teas.

“I’m a perfectionist

experience, build valuable industry networks and kick start their creative career.

Applications are open to regional young people aged between sixteen and 27 years.

Horizons will provide creative industry mentorship across all creative mediums including visual arts, crafts, performing arts, music, film and television, publishing, design, gaming, technology and cultural heritage.

Five young people will be chosen from the Mid North

Coast.

“Starting in January 2024, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and this can be life changing,” Olivia Parker, Executive Director of Arts Mid North Coast told NOTA. “You can also be interested in the career of curating or producing, so apply for it and don’t leave it to the last minute.”

Participants will be paired with an experienced mentor from their chosen field who is based in regional NSW and develop works for a collective showcase that addresses pressing issues for

regional young people.

Horizons is a free program and includes a $750 stipend plus approved travel and materials expenses.

Arts Mid North Coast is excited to offer this opportunity to youth on the Mid North Coast.

Participants from the local government areas of the Nambucca Valley, Bellingen Shire and Coffs Harbour are invited to apply.

and self-taught cook, I love to diversify with unusual combinations… apricot and lavender jam, and blueberry and bourbon preserve,” she told the foodie audience, which responded with “oohs” and “aahs”.

Summing up the event, Awia told News Of The Area, “Our bi-annual Coffs Coast Long Lunch is more than a long lunch.

“The Coffs Coast has so many wonderful small-scale local growers and producers, and I want to share their stories.

“My passion is to find what produce is available locally, where our ingredients come from, and to meet the people who produce it.”

The response from guests at the event has been fantastic, said Awia,

who asked all attendees to complete a feedback form before leaving on Saturday.

“It's so heart-warming for me that attendees are embracing our concept of meeting the humans behind their produce and hearing their real-life stories, including the highs and the challenges.

“Guests were inspired by the personal stories, and keen to learn more about what is available right here on the Coffs Coast,” she said.

After enjoying Shearwater Restaurant’s delicious threecourse meal, diners could also chat one-on-one with producers at the Taste and Talk tables and taste samples.

The Coffs Coast Long Lunch website will be up-andrunning later in November/ December.

Brewery and Cartoon Gallery collaborate on exhibition, beer

By Andrea FERRARI

THE ROTARIES at the Brewery Exhibition opened on Thursday 26 October in Coffs Harbour, an occasion which also saw the launch of the first King Tide Brewery and National Cartoon Gallery collaboration craft beer, a project four months in the making.

As a lead up to the 35th Rotary Cartoon Awards to be held at the National Cartoon Gallery from 24 November, King Tide Brewing has

teamed up with the National Cartoon Gallery to create the pop-up gallery at the King Tide Brewery to present this special exhibition.

On display are 34 past Rotary Cartoon Award winners of Cartoons of the Year from 1989 to 2022 as well as a video display of 263 category winners.

The opening of the exhibition was attended by members of the Rotary Clubs of Coffs City and Sawtell, and volunteers and staff of the National Cartoon.

Paul McKeon, a member of Coffs City Rotary and a previous Chair of the National Cartoon Gallery, provided an outline of the history and significance of the National Rotary Cartoon Awards.

Paul noted that the Rotary Cartoon Awards were created by the Coffs City Rotary Club, which has provided over $300,000 in prize money for the awards over the past 35 years and continues to be the major sponsor of the Rotary Cartoon Awards.

November Reign mural festival returns

By Andrea FERRARI

THE NOVEMBER Reign mural festival returns to the walls of Coffs Harbour this month.

The city’s original mural festival, this out-and-aboutart event is run by the team at Open Studio, who have been the driving force of street art in Coffs since their establishment in 2008.

November Reign is curated by Ash Johnston from Open Studio.

“November Reign is a graffiti gathering to strengthen our culture of style writing and showcase the never-ending pursuit of the perfect letter,” Ash told

News Of The Area.

The artist line-up for 2023 shares the work of artists who have supported Open Studio over the years, connected on a wall or have caught Ash’s attention through their own output and dedication to style.

Open Studio originally coordinated the November Reign festival back in 2015 and offered paint and allocated space to some 65 artists to paint graffiti murals around four different Coffs locations.

In 2016 November Reign attracted 80 Australian and international artists.

“The response to both events from the community

was fantastic.

“People from across all demographics came together to embrace our culture and watch the artists create a diverse range of works firmly rooted in the graffiti culture that spawned in the 1970s in NYC. “Coffs Harbour City Council even made mention of the festival in its Creative Coffs Cultural Strategic Plan 2017-2022.”

Open Studio has recently relocated to Little Street.

“To celebrate the new location and reestablish the business, now is the time to bring back the graff jam that everyone has been waiting for,” said Ash.

Les Davis, Chair, National Cartoon Gallery, said he is looking forward to having great exposure for the National Cartoon Gallery as a result of the Rotaries at the Brewery Exhibition.

Mr Davis anticipates increased numbers attending the presentation of the 2023 National Rotary Cartoon Awards at a special event at the National Cartoon Gallery on Friday 24 November from 6pm.

King Tide Brewing also launched a special collaboration craft beer at the

opening of the Rotaries at the Brewery.

The Old News – New World Pils features a special cartoon label produced as a result of a collaboration between Mark Lynch, cartoonist and creator of the ‘Past PM’s’ cartoon, Peter Rektor, Design Focus Resource Pty Ltd, and Sam Rowe, Co Author Design & Media.

The new beer is available for purchase at King Tide Brewery and will be served at events at the National Cartoon Gallery up to and including the Rotary Cartoon Awards on 24 November 2023.

Men’s Table dinners with a difference

By Mary KEILY

AN exciting way for men to connect over a meal and express themselves in a confidential setting is happening again in Coffs Harbour.

The first ‘Men’s Entree’ took place in April, which led to the formation of the first local Men’s Table.

Now a group of ten men have committed to regular meetups, facilitated by cohosts who guide them to go beyond the banter and open up in a different way to pub talk or golf club chat.

This month, two further events of this nature will take place.

Youth Radio announcements

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL youth radio station 104.1 CHYFM announces that sisters Amber and Zoe’s The A to Z of Everything will broadcast their last show on Wednesday 8 November from 4 to 6pm.

“Amber and Zoe have been with the station for nearly four years,” station Manager Angie Vaughan told News Of The Area.

“They have battled through school exams, bushfires, floods, Covid-19 and an array of career choices and still came in every week, completely prepared and presented one of the station’s most popular shows.

“We will miss them tremendously, as will their many dedicated listeners, but we wish them every success for the future.”

Amber is moving to Brisbane and will be working at the airport, and Zoe can now dedicate more time to the childcare job she loves.

Besides their regular weekly Wednesday program, Amber and Zoe have done a bunch of live outside broadcasts, including ones from the C.ex Community Crew Sleepout, the Cronulla Sharks game at C.ex Stadium, and from the Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary during their fun day fundraiser.

“They were always the first to raise their hand to help at fundraisers, station promotions and reading sponsorship scripts.

“And they’ve interviewed some fascinating people, from rock stars and conservationists, cartoonists and politicians and everyone in between.”

Their last show will be

full of special guests and lots of surprises.

“So, tune in on Wednesday 8 November between 4 and 6pm for the final A to Z of Everything on 104.1 CHYFM.” But, as one show finishes, another returns.

Health and wellness presenter Lisa Telford returns to the 104.1 CHYFM airwaves on Wednesday 8 November at noon with her informational and educational program Eat, Play Love.

Eat Play Love is all about health, wellbeing, mindfulness, alternative and complementary therapies, nutrition, fitness, and much more.

“As a yoga instructor, I’m well aware of the benefits for youth in health, mindfulness and wellbeing,” said Lisa.

At the time Peg was living in Woolgoolga and running her own clothes shop in Grafton, amusingly called Clothes Peg, a business she ran for 34 years.

Seeing the devastation to the Thai people, she set out boxes in her shop for locals to drop off supplies and donate cash.

“My grandson had the shop next door and we did it together.

“We raised $1 million and filled 700 boxes with clothes and supplies which the Lions Club sent over to the aid services in Thailand.

A legend of Grafton’s Jacaranda Festival, where she worked on the Jacaranda Queen young ladies contest, Peg’s efforts went towards earning her a nomination for Business Woman of the Year, supported by Cr Steve Candsell MP in 1992.

“Steve took me to Parliament House in Sydney; I had a lovely time being treated like a VIP.” Some time later Peg was nominated for Coffs Harbour Grandparent of the Year by her granddaughter Jodie, for which she was named Runner Up.

Peg will be blowing out the candles and having a good old reminisce and laugh amongst her family at a birthday bash at Wiigulga Multipurpose Centre on Saturday 4 November, the day before her 90th.

A stalwart, lifetime charity worker, Peg said, “There’s not one local charity I haven’t worked for or donated to in some way.”

Perhaps her biggest fundraising achievement was when the tsunami hit Thailand in December 2004.

Being busy worked for Peg and when she heard about the proposed building of a retirement home in Woolgoolga, she thought, “If I can do what I did for the Jacaranda Festival here, we can raise the money required before the government would then provide a grant.

“We did Picnic Races on the beach and various events and raised the down payment.”

Woolgoolga Retirement Village was built in 1991 and has flourished and grown to the facility it is today.

Coming up to her 90th, living with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML), Peg takes oral chemotherapy every day and is well most days.

“If I’m feeling off I say to myself ‘get up old girl and help the young’uns’,” Peg said, a role she excels in.

Peg keeps the books and packs the cucumbers for her grandson’s farm, Corindi Organics.

“That keeps me occupied,”

she said.

With a hundred other tales of her life-well-lived, Peg told NOTA about times as a little girl living in North Boambee, where her father ran a sheep farm, then a banana farm.

She attended Korora Public School, claiming her only strong subject to have been maths, a subject she’s used all her life.

Peg then entered nursing at Sunnyside hospital when she was aged fifteen, met her husband Kevin through the window at that hospital aged seventeen, was married at nineteen and had her daughter Julie nine months and three days after her wedding.

Peg was right, we don’t have a newspaper big enough to tell the full story of her colourful and meaningful life.

Married to Kevin for sixtyone-and-a-half years, she said, “I am so lucky that my daughter, my grandchildren and my great grandchildren all live in Woolgoolga – I want to thank them all for what they do for me, they are all so lovely to me.”

Community art continues with new Nexus show q

By Andrea FERRARI

CELEBRATING and sharing the work of local artists, Bellingen’s Nexus Gallery continues its community mission with new exhibitions running from 5 November to 1 December.

The official opening is at 2pm on Sunday 5 November.

‘Visual Imagery’ is the title of the Main Gallery exhibition showing the work of four artists, all from the Bellingen Shire region.

The exhibition features painters Carol Simons, Penel Gamble and Chetan Bloemhard, and ceramicist Sandy Robinson.

In the Studio Gallery, painter Ruth RandallGeorge from Nambucca

Heads displays her work in an exhibition entitled ‘Art Emerges from Imagination’.

The artists share comments with News Of The Area.

“Art is my way of expressing the appreciation I feel for the beauty of the natural world,” Carol Simons said.

“I enjoy focusing in on detail, from the unique patterns in bark and leaves, the beauty and vast variety of flowers, to the fascinating shapes and forms of seeds and seed pods, as well as how the light changes through the day and seasons.

“I use a wide range of mediums in my work.”

For Penel Gamble, art gives her licence to play.

Carol Simons’ Early Mist.

“I love to paint, draw and create.

“I don't restrict myself to any particular medium, subject, or style.

“I often endeavour to tell visual stories which leave room for interpretation.

“Serious or playful, my work is most successful

when my intent, or pure joy in creating the work, makes a connection with the viewer.”

Chetan Bloemhard’s paintings celebrate “the beauty, diversity and connection that shines through everything”.

emerging play of paints, creating unexpected colours, shapes and form,” Chetan said.

“The process is always surprising, and the question remains... is it finished?”

Sandy Robinson is passionate about all aspects of working with clay.

“I hand build and throw on a wheel - porcelain, stoneware and grogged raku clays, and fire in electric and gas kilns.

“I am often inspired by firing outdoors using smoke as decoration on white clay.

“I like the contrast of black and white but also the beautiful copper and turquoise lustres created by starving the glaze of oxygen,” she said.

Showing in the Studio Gallery, Ruth RandallGeorge told NOTA, “I have been drawing and painting for most of my life.

“I have travelled extensively, including time spent living in Malaysia as well as Texas, where I continued my art studies.”

She has also journeyed to England and Canada to further broaden her experience and abilities.

“My preferred medium is working with oils and this exhibition combines realism with contemporary and vibrant colour, my works arising from both my imagination and nature, inspired by the beautiful Nambucca Valley, where I live and work.”

Alan told News Of The Area how his nominee meets that criteria.

“Roland has been employed by Catholic Care at Marian Grove for approximately 20 years as Maintenance Officer and is adored by all residents both male and female.

“Roland treats everyone equally with the same care and attention and always has time for a quick chat as he passes through Marian Grove.

“When a resident turns 80 or 90 who does not have relatives nearby, he always finds time to call in to wish them a happy birthday and have a cup of tea.

“Roland is a plasterer by trade and has his own company called Get Plastered;

he built a large mud home for himself and family on a tenacre property with ten head of cattle.

“He is a great asset to Marian Grove and is a humble hard worker who thoroughly enjoys his job which is obvious as he goes about his work.”

Kate joined the Sawtell RSL Club in 2011 and as the Marketing and Operations Manager oversees the staff and supervisors, books the entertainment and has implemented new systems such as payroll and accounting just to name a few.

Kate also tends to Sawtell RSL’s social media and publicity and is also a JP, offering the free service to anyone in the community.

Rare motorcycles on show in Coffs q The only white Bimota DB1SR Final Edition in the world will be on show in Coffs Harbour on Sunday 5 November.

FEAST your eyes on some motorcycle rarities at the Coffs Harbour Festival of Motorsports on Sunday 5 November.

Located at Park Beach Plaza, the motorcycle show features a set of three unique Bimota motorcycles, possibly the only time these three motorcycles have been exhibited at the one venue in Australia given that one model had only a production run of seven worldwide.

Event Coordinator Christopher Pearson told News Of The Area, “It’s a real first for our event to have such a rare collection including the final edition to grace the floor of the motorcycle show.

Add-backs and spousal maintenance claim PENNY and Nick separated after a four year marriage.

They have one child, now five years old.

They have resolved their parenting dispute but Penny now applies to the Court for a determination regarding a property settlement and spousal maintenance.

Penny seeks 60 percent of the parties’ assets but Nick proposes a payment equivalent to just 30 percent.

Another issue in dispute is the nature of “add-backs” claimed by Penny.

Add-backs are sums that are added-back to the parties’ present assets.

They can include funds expended on legal fees, funds relating to the premature distribution of matrimonial assets or the dissipation of assets.

The Court states that add-backs are “exceptional and discretionary”.

The Court hears that after their separation, Nick continued to draw on their home loan, ultimately withdrawing $300,000.

The Court finds that the withdrawals were unnecessary to meet his reasonable expenses, describing them as “wanton” and adds-back the whole of the funds into the property pool.

The Court therefore assesses the total value of the parties' assets at $2 million.

The Court considers it “just and equitable” to make property settlement orders and accordingly considers the parties’ financial and non-financial contributions to their assets and the welfare of the family.

On the basis that Nick brought considerable assets into the relationship, the Court assesses his overall contributions towards their nonsuperannuation assets at 62.5 percent.

In adopting a two-pool approach, the Court accepts that Nick had substantially more superannuation at the commencement of their relationship and assesses his contributions towards the superannuation pool at 74 percent.

By way of a final property settlement consideration, the Court awards Penny adjustments in her favour due to the “vast” earning capacity difference of the parties, equating to 12.5 percent in relation to the nonsuperannuation assets and ordering that the superannuation pool is to be split equally.

Penny is also ordered to receive $400 per week by way of spousal maintenance for two years.

DEAR Jasminda,

WE are going on a holiday with another couple -- my best friend and her obnoxious, bigot of a husband.

Normally I stay away from him, but we are sharing accommodation.

My best friend laughs off his behaviour and says he's harmless.

To me his comments and opinions aren't harmless, they are hurtful and damaging.

What on earth should I do?

Parking at the new Library?

DEAR News Of The Area, WE now have a state of the art Library on three levels, but has parking been considered for return of books?

The return of books facility is off Riding Lane, but there is no parking available immediately outside the Library.

Would the Council consider a five minute drop off zone in Riding Lane where there is currently a lane with 'No Parking' signs on it?

Since there is an after hours drop off point, there should be a safe way to drive up and return books.

Unfortunately, there is no parking at the front of Yarrila Place either.

Previously there were parking spots available but these have been eliminated in favour of a grand entrance where no parking is allowed.

The net result is to reduce the number of parking spots available in an already crowded city!

Regards, Rose-Marie SERCOMBE, Coffs Harbour.

More funds to the firies DEAR News Of The Area, AT the time of writing there are more than 75 bushfires ravaging our beautiful country.

This will result in the great loss of livestock, wild animals, flora and fauna, property and the sad occurrence of loss of human life - souls who are trying to save their properties.

Can you imagine what a donation of $450 million would make to the fire

fighting services?

More planes, helicopters, equipment and appliances.

What a complete travesty that our Government chose to spend it elsewhere where it has achieved nothing but dissent.

Kudos to the bravery of the men and women fighting these horrendous fires, you deserve our heartfelt thanks and also a huge cash injection to help with the battle.

Let seniors access the hospital pool DEAR News Of The Area, BACK in the year of 1985 Doctor Gordon Myall (geriatrician), an expert in the ageing population, was very concerned about our health and that's why the CHERP (Coffs Harbour Education Recreation Program) was founded, consisting of yoga, tai chi, water aerobics, group walking etc.

The program had approximately 600 members.

It is heated and treated but we are still locked out, for no reason.

For example, a one hour class could have sixteen people doing rehab, or arthritis sufferers could do water aerobics, with users donating money to the hospital.

Nurses also used the pool at night time for exercise after a hard day's work.

Heidi S. Dear Heidi, YOU can't go on this holiday.

At best you'll be miserable, and at worst you will potentially lose your friendship with your best friend.

I'm not sure why you agreed to it in the first place.

Clearly you are already feeling completely stressed out about what should be an enjoyable and relaxing time away for all of you.

Life is too short to put up with bad behaviour. It might make for great television, but this isn't reality TV, it's your life.

It sounds as though you've just agreed to go to appease everyone else and maybe that's half the problem.

Sometimes it's important to call out bad behaviour and set boundaries.

Otherwise situations can end up festering over many years as one person makes more and more concessions and the other gets more bold in what they say or do.

Your friend is married to this man and has made the decision to put up with him.

You're not married to him, and you don't have to make concessions.

If she's really your best friend, she should respect that.

A bit like the hospital, the pool was full of water but nobody was allowed to use it.

It comes down to the power of one.

Be that one today and please write to the Chief Executive Officer, Coffs Base Hospital, Locked bag 812, Coffs harbour 2450 and tell them of our need to open that pool.

OPINION & LETTERS

media@newsofthearea.com.au

The irony of water DEAR News Of The Area,

MARK Twain was a great humourist who saw the irony of ignorance and contradiction within humanity.

It is therefore fitting that Tony Judge would quote Twain in his opinion piece, ‘Muddying the water on water rights’.

Judge aims to discredit Gurmesh Singh and Michael Kemp with the suggestion that they have intentionally misled people by providing facts regarding harvestable water rights.

He attempts to create his argument with a wash of nonsense and unreferenced statements concerning the effects rainfall and runoff have on the local ecosystem.

It is with this that I would share another quote from Mark Twain: “Get your facts first then distort them as you wish.”

By acknowledging a fact Tony Judge then attempts to distort the truth by

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD MALCOLM Campbell was an unmarried miner living with his brother and sister on the outskirts of Woolgoolga. Suffering from what was then called ‘delusions’ that he was dying from cancer, he disappeared, leaving a farewell note

suggesting that the process of harvesting water has an adverse effect on the overall environment.

Not true.

I would encourage anybody with a serious interest in managing our environment as we move forward into a future of longer dries and more intense rainfall patterns should take the time to review the comprehensive work done by visionary Peter Andrews.

Peter has proven that slowing the flow of runoff through a series of weirs and small dams increases the ability for waterways to survive through drought as well as providing more consistent and stable supply to promote healthier waterways from summit to sea.

The best people to understand and advise on this issue are those that have a considerable connection to the area and knowledge of the land.

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

Which brings me to another quote from Mark Twain: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

Based on the naive remarks from Judge I would presume that he is a ‘sea changer’ from the city who has been in the electorate since breakfast and is touting misinformed ‘Greens’ ideologies for his own agenda quick to slap away the hand that feeds him.

An important point to appreciate is that the food that is grown on our farms requires water.

You can’t have avocado on toast without avocado trees.

I am sure that Michael Kemp and Gurmesh Singh have the ‘place we call home’ in their hearts.

I have been fortunate to personally speak with Michael on several occasions and have found him to be very approachable and progressive in terms of achieving better farming practices

Body, Bugs and a Burial in his hut, last seen on Sunday 10 March 1935.

An extensive search of the region was undertaken.

Nine days after his disappearance Constable Marsh, his Alsatian dog and Robert Schofield were out looking, when the dog found the body.

It was lying in about two feet of water in a swamp bordering Darkham Lake, between Darkum Creek and Woolgoolga Cemetery.

On its back, clothed in a dark flannel shirt, trousers and boots, a straw hat was lying beside it and sadly, in what

was clearly a suicide, Campbell had cut his throat from ear to ear, severing his windpipe.

No vehicle could get near the spot where the body was found, owing to the swampy nature of the area, so Constables Marsh, Ulrick, Dew (on holiday) and Mr Herbert Cox carried it about 50 yards to higher ground, on an improvised stretcher made of poles and bags.

Swarms of black beetles covered the corpse with other insects which crawled onto the men from the decomposed body.

On-site and seeing what the men had to go through, the Coroner added a rider

and sustainable management of our environment.

I believe he has the integrity and good judgement to engage in rational and respectful debate regardless of personal views.

As the Minns government continues ‘knee jerking’ our state resources into dangerous territory and attempting to box up our state forests and create the potential for catastrophic bushfires, they are strangling our primary producers from an essential means to grow and harvest food.

In support of local farmers and their ‘David vs Goliath’ battle against the giant authoritarian Labor government, I feel a final quote from Twain is appropriate.

“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”

Regards, Adam FULLER, Mid North Coast.

to his verdict commending them for the way they did it.

Referring to the dangerous nature of the undertaking, he pointed out the likelihood of infection that might set up blood poisoning and added that it was only their efficiency and devotion to duty that enabled them to get the body to a position where it could be examined.

The Coroner also stated he was convinced that the body could have lain in its hidden position for any length of time had it not been for the action of Constable Marsh’s Alsatian dog.

Malcolm Campbell was buried in a lone grave, in the scrub beside a fairway at Woolgoolga Golf Course.

Has the NSW Labor Government been nobbled by the bureaucrats?

DEAR News Of The Area,

I WOULD like to offer my wholehearted support to our Mayor Paul Amos for his recent column in NOTA and to his fellow Councillors who are continuing to fight for our foreshore land to remain in public ownership.

It beggars belief that the Labor Government promised there would be no residential development east of the railway line before the elections and are now talking about affordable housing.

Clearly prime foreshore land is not suitable for such a use yet it would seem the bureaucrats are proposing affordable housing to utilise fast tracking provisions for their rezoning proposal.

It seems to me that the only explanation

for the Government's back flip on its election promise is that the Minister for Land and Property (Steve Kamper) hasn’t been fully informed of the relevant facts by the manipulative agenda driven bureaucracy in Property Development NSW that is focused solely on maximising financial gain.

I believe the Minister should call for a review of the situation and demand answers to the following questions.

Why weren’t traffic studies undertaken prior to the community consultation?

Why wasn’t the community advised of the potential adverse consequences of traffic movement in the foreshore area itself and the nearby residential areas of the Coffs Jetty area?

Why wasn’t the public informed that

the land is classified under EPA guidelines as being potentially contaminated due to its previous use for industrial purposes (including fuel storage, asbestos use and timber treatment).

Why hasn’t the cost of rehabilitation to make it suitable for residential purposes been assessed?

Has the Minister been made aware of the potential for public hearings and court appeals that will no doubt publicise the government's backflip and the flawed, biassed consultation process that has been undertaken?

Why hasn’t the proposal by our local government representatives, the City of Coffs Harbour, to acquire the land for public open space and ancillary uses, been taken seriously and meaningful dialogue entered into?

It is perhaps understandable that it takes

time for a Minister in a new Government to become fully acquainted with a new and complex portfolio.

Understandably there would be initially a degree of reliance on advice from his Department. There comes a time however when the elected Minister needs to become fully aware of the issues, listen to the local Community and stand up and question the advice that is being provided to the Government.

I call on the Minister to review the situation and to honour the election commitment that was given and restore the credibility of the Minns Labor Government in both our local electorate and northern NSW. Regards, Bruce FIDGE, Coffs Harbour.

Kerry Hines Memorial Bowls Day for CanDo Cancer Trust NEWS

By Andrea FERRARI THE KERRY Hines Memorial Bowls Day for the CanDo Cancer trust takes place on Sunday 12 November at Sawtell Bowls Club on Lyons Road.

There’s games of lawn bowls and a sausage sizzle, raffles, prizes and novelty events.

“The morning starts at 9am with registration and morning tea, with bowls expected to start at 9.45am,” Chris Hines told News Of The Area.

“Apart from a day of fun and laughter, your minimal $10 entrance

fee entitles you to bowls and a sausage sizzle.

“There are also raffle tickets available for the monster raffles and meat raffles will also run throughout the morning.

“There are even some novelty events for the bowls itself,” he said.

If you’re a single player or can’t make a full team of four, let the club know and they can put you in with other players.

Chris’ wife, Kerry Hines, passed away four years ago through cancer.

She was an extremely wellknown Coffs local.

As well as being a hugely

successful businesswoman, she was also a past Coffs Harbour City Councillor, past vice chair of the Coffs Chamber of Commerce, and a keen supporter of local charities.

Kerry was a long-term trustee and committee member of the CanDo Cancer Trust and was also the Patron of the Sawtell Ladies Bowling Club.

“It was a natural progression after her passing to name the event in her honour,” said Chris.

The CanDo Cancer Trust supports patients and families attending the North Coast Cancer Institute.

“The Trust Committee along with the generous support of the Coffs

Coast Freemasons, established the trust to distribute funds to those in need.

“Funds are raised through donations and events such as this one organised by the committee.

“The trust is truly local, and every cent raised goes to those in need.”

To date, the CanDo Cancer Trust has helped over 1750 families and given away over $880,000 to families who need it, said Chris.

To book, call the club on 6653 1287 or email office@sawtellbowls. com.au.

Coffs ref selected to officiate at Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup

q Will Cunningham officiates a Sunshine Basketball Conference game.

By Aiden BURGESS

WILL Cunningham has been selected to officiate at one of the most prestigious junior basketball tournaments in Australia.

The sixteen-year-old was selected by Basketball NSW to referee at the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup in Albury.

This national tournament features the best junior country players from across Australia, to be held in January.

The young referee was fulfilling his ambition of officiating at major national tournaments.

“It’s always been my dream to go do different types of nationals, and I can’t wait to go see what this has in store for me,” he said.

“I’ve recently just went up to

Brisbane where I did the Under 18 National Indigenous Basketball Tournament.”

Cunningham had ambitions to referee in the NBA. “I have to be over 18 to go to America, so I’ve still got a few years of training left,” he said.

He is currently refereeing in the latest Sunshine Basketball Conference season, which is the Far North Coast’s premier representative competition.

Shane Dunlop has mentored Cunningham, and praised his refereeing ability.

“For his age I think he is quite advanced, as there are not many sixteen-year-olds going around and refereeing the level that he is refereeing,” he said.

The new Mid North Coast Mariners teams are set to compete at the Australian Senior Championships, which gets underway on Friday in Coffs Harbour.

The Mid North Coast Mariners senior teams will be making their debut at the Australian Championships, with the Mariners entering teams in the Women's 27,

Women’s 37, Mixed Open, Mixed Senior, Men’s Open, and Men’s 50 divisions.

Coffs Harbour Thunder teams had competed at previous Australian Championships, before combining with Port Macquarie this year to form the Mariners.

The Australian Senior Championships will be held over three days at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium and surrounding fields, as teams from across the country play off for national championships.

A total of 148 teams are

set to take part across 16 divisions, which includes nine men’s divisions, four women’s divisions, and three mixed divisions.

Teams will be crowned national champions when they play off in the grand finals on Sunday.

The Mid North Coast Mariners junior teams recently played at the Australian Junior Championships.

Coffs Harbour will host the NSW Junior Championships on 23-25 February, 2024.

Triathlon Club racing into a new season COFFS Harbour Triathlon Club is settling into a new location at the community building by the Jetty, kicking off the 2023-24 season with two successful Club races.

"The Jetty Foreshore is one of the best locations in NSW to swim, bike or run and thanks to the NSW Government, and with the support of Coffs Harbour City Council, the new community building will provide a terrific base for the sport," said Club President Julie Whitton.

Club races are held approximately every second Sunday from October through to April across a range of distances and sequences.

With the updated 202324 Season Race Calendar, the Club has all bases covered.

“We have the traditional triathlon in the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run - or the Enticer option which is half that distance. If you prefer to swim, and running is your passion, you can enter the Aquathon (750m/5km), or if running is a bit challenging, you can swim and ride in the Aquabike (750m/20km)," said Julie.

This Sunday November 5 the Club is hosting a 'Try a Tri' event that is open to one and all.

New athletes will be supported and guided by Club members before and during the race.

This year, the Club's coaches Annette Lee, Trent Renshaw and Mel Sylvester began offering free training sessions for members which will continue into the new year.

"On Wednesdays, members can join a tailored spin class at Mel's Beachbodies Health Club,

with tunes pumping and sweat pouring from 5.30pm.

"On Saturday mornings (7am) through November, Trent will be leading bike/ run sessions, while Annette has been taking athletes

Coffs cricket has first washed-out games of the season

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour District Cricket Association have had their first washed out games of the season, with two first grade games and the

opening round of the T20 Cup abandoned due to the recent rain.

One first grade game was played with the Coffs Colts winning by one wicket against the Northern Districts

Rebels in their one dayer at Woolgoolga.

The Rebels won the toss and elected to bat, and finished at 6/133 after 40 overs.

Prabraj Sidhu finished

on 56 not out, with Jayden Perrett also finishing unbeaten on 39.

Matthew Francis took 3-20 from his 8 overs which included the Rebels openers, while Zac Creenaune took 3-23 from 8 overs.

Needing 134 for victory, the Colts got home with seven

balls to spare finishing at 9/134 to win by one wicket.

Aaron Singh took 3-13 from 6 overs for the Rebels, with Anu Grewal taking 3-26 from 8 overs.

Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s first grade season continues this weekend with matches in

Suns men’s side, with the Storm having a 117-81 win on their home court.

The Coffs Harbour Suns gave a recap of the weekend’s games on their social media page.

“On the weekend both teams travelled with limited numbers available on their

rosters to take on the Lismore Storm.

“The women faced a tough encounter with only seven players suiting up for the game and found themselves down early in the contest.

“They were able to dig deep and find the momentum to take the lead in the 3rd quarter.

“They pulled away from the Storm in the fourth to

come away with the road victory much to the delight of stand-in coach/player Nicole Howarth.

“The men then took to the court with just six players available on the road trip, putting up a good fight but eventually going down to the Storm.

“Both teams will be back in action in two weeks’ time taking on the Ballina Breakers

149 percent.

The overall participation growth in the area saw a 48 percent increase year-onyear.

These numbers were the result of careful planning

by Cricket NSW and the assistance of local volunteers to bring these programs to life.

The Northern District Rebels Cricket Club volunteers, for example, advertise Cricket Blast programs through school parenting networks and P&C groups.

At the Cricket Blast programs, the club provides up to ten volunteers to run games and work on the BBQ. The Woolgoolga program was the first of its kind in the area and the strategic initiatives saw unprecedented

interest among the local communities.

The program was targeted for 30 children but saw 113 children signing up.

The first session was held in March and has paved the way for a vibrant cricket culture in the area.

This season, Wiigulga held a Come and Try Day for over 60 young cricketers in August with Sydney Sixers stars Moises Henriques, Jackson Bird and Jade Allen helping out, who were visiting the town as a part of Cricket NSW’s regional engagement tour, the Country Blitz.

The Northern District Rebels Cricket Club and Cricket NSW will run a Cricket Blast program at the complex during Term 1 next year to upskill and provide pathways for Cricket Blasters to move to

Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, and Macksville.

Early season ladder leaders Valleys Cricket host the Northern District Rebels at Phillip Hughes Oval.

Diggers Cricket Club and the Coffs Colts face off in their Coffs Harbour derby at Fitzroy Oval.

Sawtell play host to the Nana Glen Lizards at Richardson Park.

Coffs Suns women continue unbeaten start to season

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour Suns women have continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 73-56 win against the Lismore Storm, during the latest round of the Sunshine Basketball Conference season in Lismore.

It was the Suns women’s third straight win to start the Far North Coast representative season, and sees them sit on top of the ladder.

Alexis Plater had a fantastic game for the Suns top scoring with 39 points.

Lismore Storm beat the

Cricket growing in Woolgoolga and the North Coast WHEN the multi-facility Wiigulga Sports Complex in Woolgoolga opened earlier this year, Cricket NSW’s North Coast Cricket Manager Kate Jackson saw a great opportunity to bring cricket to the residents of the new, emerging township, many of whom belonged to the South Asian diaspora and had a deep-rooted interest in cricket already.

The complex was already a hit with the local community, built to accommodate not just a number of different sports, but also grand South Asian weddings.

It even has a sangeet (music) room for prewedding entertainment.

It was inevitable for the

complex to also be a hub for the sport that rules South Asian hearts.

The challenge was to reach out to the exact audience and encourage the children to join the cricket programs at the complex.

With the South Asian community prominent in the township, Jackson identified Woolgoolga as having a great growth potential.

“I created extremely focussed strategic programs, I identified that Macleay and Woolgoolga, in particular, presented huge growth potential and with high Indigenous and multicultural populations,” she said.

Jackson decided to engage the children of Woolgoolga

by hosting the Cricket Blast in March this year, a free program utilising Woolworths Community Funding.

She used geo-targeted social media posts to a 20km radius, to market and advertise the programs for maximum results.

The Woolgoolga Cricket Blast is just one example of the participation growth on the North Coast.

The 2022-23 National Cricket Census, released in August this year, showed that Cricket Blast participation along the North Coast has risen by a massive 154 percent just in the last season.

Junior cricket rose by 64 percent, while participation among females saw a jump of

NOT having a care in the world seems to have been the secret behind Kristy Hickey’s win in The Golf Centre’s Coffs Coast Ladies Classic played at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club over the weekend.

As a home-club member, Hickey’s win in the Ladies Classic was a popular one in the clubhouse but she admits it was one she wasn’t expecting as she teed off for the event’s second round on Sunday.

“I had no expectations, absolutely none,” Hickey said.

“I was coming seventh at the start of the day. When you’ve got nothing to lose, you just go out, hit the ball, find it and hit again.”

Hickey shot an opening round 88 on Saturday and

found herself seven strokes behind Grafton teen Annalese McKee, a pair of fellow Coffs Harbour members in Keryn Little, who shot an opening round 83, and Trish Nance who fired an 85 on Saturday to be tied in third place with Narelle Anderson from Safety Beach.

Hickey added that having a lot less preparation than usual also contributed to her lack of care.

“This is the least prepared I have ever been for a tournament,” she explained.

“Normally I would be out here every day, practicing, practicing, practicing.

“But I’ve just played a couple of Ambrose events, 4-Ball events so I’m really surprised.”

Hickey fired a final round 81 to finish the Ladies Classic three-strokes ahead of previous winner Adele Douglas from Bonville.

Anderson was leading until a double bogey on the second last hole put paid to her chances of victory while Little finished in fourth place.

Hickey said it wasn’t until all the scores were handed in that she realised she had won and reversed a run of runner-up and third place finishes in the tournament.

“I wasn’t aware of any scores that were happening in the last group. I didn’t know what their best game was and I just thought that the only thing I can control out there is my game and that’s just what I kept doing to the best of my ability.”

in another road trip.”

The Suns men’s and women's teams next games are on Saturday, November 11, when they travel to take on the Ballina Breakers at the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre.

The Suns teams finish their regular season in Byron Bay against the Byron Bay Beez on Saturday, 25 November. the club’s junior teams.

Martin Gleeson, General Manager, Community Cricket Experience, Cricket NSW, highlighted some of the main reasons for the growth in the game on the North Coast.

“The growth in participation across the North Coast last season can be attributed to the hard work of our local clubs and volunteers and the strategic initiatives to amplify interest by the Cricket NSW staff in the region,” he said.

“We are working in partnership with local communities to raise awareness of cricket and its benefits in the farthest reaches of the state, be it through player appearances, or Come-and Try Days in new towns, or girls-only programs. The efforts of our staff and volunteers in these regions have proved what we knew all along, that cricket is a sport for everyone.

UNDER THE VINES

ABC, 8.30pm

The dynamite charms of Rebecca Gibney (Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown, pictured with Gibney) cultivate this quirky and fail-safe comedy of characters about suddenly running an inherited winery in New Zealand, with mixed results. While the characters often tread a predictable path, it’s the free-flowing humour that hooks you in. As season two kicks off, the promise of romance between Daisy (Gibney) and Louis (Edwards) always dangles but is yet to ripen, as he makes another gallant attempt to save his flailing marriage.

After the marathon 51 episodes of fervent painting, tiling, setting up candles and/or flowers and general bickering between the contestants, it’s finally time for the moment of truth: auction night! It might only feel like yesterday since last year’s couples gave us both boom and bust tales in the tree-change spot of Gisborne, but now it’s time to find out if Charming Street, in coastal Hampton East, will serenade everyone with fairytale results. If host Scott Cam (pictured) appears a little nervous and sweaty, it’s understandable; real estate is an unpredictable beast.

Will millionaire veteran bidder Danny Wallis come out to play? And can this year’s villains, Kristy and Brett, win their happily ever after?

MILLION DOLLAR MURDERS

NBN, 9.05pm

Crime shows and podcasts are a wildly popular genre. From unnerving crime scene photos to witness testimonies and newly discovered evidence, they offer a fascinating, macabre look at the very dark side of human nature. It’s compelling to play armchair detective, putting together the pieces of the puzzling crime to perhaps even solve it. In this cold-case series, retired detective Deborah Wallace (pictured) is unravelling clues to some of Australia’s most baffling unsolved murders, with the backing of local police, in an effort to finally bring closure and put these cases to bed. Tonight, it’s the case of 26-year-old new mother Lynette White, who was tragically murdered in her Coogee apartment back in 1973.

Tense Friday, 3 November 2023

IT was a five-foot putt on the fourth playoff hole that finally earned Kempsey’s Andrew Kirkman the ANZ North Coast Amateur Open.

Kirkman and Lindsay Ross from Emerald Lakes were locked in a tense sudden death playoff after both finished square with the card when they’d completed the 36 holes across the weekend at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club.

Finishing in a tie meant the pair would continue to play the 18th hole in ‘sudden death’ conditions until a victor was found.

The trouble was that after playing the 18th hole three times, Kirkman and Ross couldn’t be separated.

Prior to teeing off a fourth time in fading light the pair had actually agreed that if they tied the fourth playoff hole that they would happily accept being joint winners of the prestigious event which is the culmination of Coffs Harbour’s annual Balter Festival of Golf.
