The struggling surfer was a local man aged in his 60s who was very grateful for the assistance given to him.

Shane explained that the rip he was caught in has formed over the last month where high rainfall and tides have opened the mouth of Dalhousie Creek.

This in turn has formed a large and fast flowing rip directly in front of the Creek opening.

“All junior members were commended on their response to this serious situation.

“They followed their training perfectly.

“Urunga is only a small club, but we pride ourselves on being a family club which aims to develop our Nippers so that they are competent when negotiating the surf and are able to recognise dangerous currents, rips and other dangers that present themselves at the beach.”

Award Winner Puts Patients First

By Paul FOGARTY

THE Chief Scientific Officer at the Coronary Angio Unit at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus, David Law, was named the Coffs Harbour region Australia Day ‘Citizen of the Year’ in a ceremony at Coffs Harbour Botanic Gardens last Wednesday.

So devoted is Mr Law to the sensitivity of his position that he declined to attend the award ceremony, putting the health and safety of others first.

Mr Law told News Of The Area he was unable to attend the Australia Day awards event in person because he is “currently working with COVID patients within the hospital environment” and as such is choosing to avoid public events.

Her relentless attention to detail in researching, reviewing, and enhancing potential community development projects have seen positive outcomes for her community.

Sports and Recreation Award – Hannah Legge

“It's a great honour to be given this award and thank you,” he said in a statement to NOTA. “In my role as a cardiac scientist I feel blessed to be able to teach so many trainee doctors, nurses and allied health care workers.

“I feel teaching is a gift that is given freely and the reward in seeing others achieve success is great,” Mr Law said.

Having joined Coffs Cardiology in 2001 David was instrumental in establishing the practice’s Echocardiography Lab. Also a qualified teacher, David trained at the Prince of Wales Hospital and supervises education and training of the technical staff at Coffs Cardiology.

David is renowned for freely “giving his time and expertise to many, many people both through expert student tutoring in sonography, nursing and chemistry, as well as junior sports coaching” a spokesperson for Coffs Harbour City Council said.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

“But he always goes further and has been known to buy soccer boots, running shoes, registration fees and flights for talented young former refugee athletes so they can compete on an equal level with their peers,” the spokesperson said.

His next goal is to be a foster parent, or support displaced international students affected by the Covid pandemic lockdown.

David's philosophy is ‘to think of others before you think of yourself’.

“Through involvement with my childrens’ lives I have seen how it's possible to reach out and help other young people,” he said.

“I hope I can do more in this area. I know there are so many people that do so much within the community,” he said.

Ever humble, Mr Law told NOTA he “feels a bit embarrassed to win the award” and thanked all the staff of Coffs cardiology and the Base hospital that he works so closely with.

RILEY Saban’s Young Citizen of the Year 2022 award recognises the Corindi Beach young man’s commitment to helping fellow people with disabilities and driving inclusivity in the world.

Riley, who has Grade 5 Dystonic Cerebral Palsy, told News Of The Area, “My entire life I have had to overcome challenges and adapt to the environment due to my physical disability.

“As a very small child, I have been told, I was very determined to do the activities that everyone else did.

“I made sure that I was included in everything.

“This led to myself, my family, friends and support network having to think outside the box to find different ways of participating due to my physical disabilities.

“At thirteen-years-old, I was fortunate enough to be part of a two-episode documentary, with a biomedical engineer, Dr Jordan Nguyen.

“The documentary was about what it would be like to control environmental devices with electroencephalogram (EEG) technology.

“Jordan asked me what I would like to do, and I suggested I drive a car, as that was something my friends were unable to do at thirteen.

“We all worked as a team to make it happen.

“Little kids with disabilities would often stop me in the street to talk about how I could achieve all these things.

“This inspired me to make a difference myself.

“I knew then I had to support people with disabilities.

“My dream for the future is one I cannot

do on my own - to live in an inclusive society.

“I hope that one day people with disabilities do not have to adapt to the environment.

“I hope that people with disabilities are a part of the planning processes every time, so we do not have to modify things later on.

“My vision is to do whatever I can to make this happen, whether it's big or small, I hope to make a difference.

“My family pays me out for being the ‘ideas man’.

“I think the greatest strength I have is determination,” he said.

Riley is currently studying for a Cert 1111 in Assistive Technologies.

“This is broadening my knowledge on what's out there and gives me the qualification to continue to do what I already do.

“I will be presenting with Dr Jordan Nguyen this year at the Luminosity Youth Summit in Port Macquarie.

“I am also a cofounder of Polyspine - a customisable supportive exoskeleton for people with moderate to severe physical disabilities.

“It provides support to users with physical disabilities so that they can participate in rehabilitative and recreational activities, outside of their main wheelchair or accessibility equipment.

“Polyspine acts as additional support to work in conjunction with equipment, furniture, and the like, which does not meet the accessibility or support requirements for an individual with a high-level disability.

“We have been approved through the TGA as a medical device and are currently doing trials and hope to have it on the market very soon.

“I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to organise meetings to initiate

a more structured, and calendar-inclusive event for International Day of People with Disabilities, within NSW Public Schools.

“Due to Covid-19, we had to postpone the program to this year.

“Instead, I was part of a webinar on the day alongside the department of education.

“I am currently interested in the web3 sector and NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens).

“Who knows, I might create a web3 project.”

q Riley Saban, Young Citizen of the Year Award Winner.

Sue Lennox awarded Order of Australia

By Andrea FERRARI

ENVIRONMENTAL educator Sue Lennox, Co-Founder of Bellingen-based OzGREEN, has been recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia 2022.

The 2020 NSW Senior Australian of the Year and Founder of Youth Leading the World has been recognised for her lifelong passion and dedication to environmental sustainability through OzGREEN, with collaborative projects around the world.

Sue told News Of The Area her life’s work “has been a search for more than fifty years to find ways to face up to the challenges that we have

in front of us, to find a place where we can create change”.

Back in the 1990s, Sue and her late husband Colin were invited by environmentalist Fran Peavey to go to India and help with the Clean Ganges Campaign.

“Measuring the pollution in the Ganges, it was just horrific,” Sue said.

“It was an incredible wake-up call for me.

"I saw that what we’d begun in Australia, this combination of citizen science and community action, had a much bigger application than I could have possibly imagined.

“30 years ago, Colin and I made a commitment that

this would be our life’s work and we founded OzGREEN in December 1993.

“Through OzGREEN and Clean Ganges Campaign we work in partnership with Sankat Mochan Foundation.

“Primarily our role is citizen science and environmental education.

“Our focus is on leadership development and community leadership.

“Recent projects have established the Mothers for Mother group and the Village Women and Water project where we work with the women in villages, providing safe drinking water and helping them find their voice and become actively involved

While her work has been one-step-at-a-time there are beautiful wins.

“I heard of a remarkable change last week that made my heart sing.

“Mamadou Babacar Diop, a Youth Leading the World Facilitator in Senegal, was elected to local government last week.

“Along the edge of the Sahara Desert he and his team have been very busy planting trees over the past couple of years.

“It is a remarkable win.”

Sue also notes the work of Vanessa Moskal.

“When the idea of YLTW was first conceived in 2009, Vanessa was a year 12 student at the Northern Beaches Secondary (Manly Campus) and an active participant

in OzGREEN’s Youth LEAD (YLTW) program.

“When approached by OzGREEN about kicking off a new model that would train local people to run a youth leadership congress, she was one of the people who said ‘yes, this is a great idea’.

“Vanessa trained as a YLTW Facilitator and ran her first YLTW congress during her ‘schoolies week’ in November 2009.

“Vanessa has been the mainstay and Lead YLTW Facilitator on the Northern Beaches since then.

“In 2012 she was elected as the youngest ever Councillor on Warringah Council.

“When Vanessa tells her personal story it is really influential to other young people.

q (L-r) Sue Lennox, Co-Founder OzGREEN, the late Prof Veer Bhadra Mishra, Founder/ President of Sankat Mochan Foundation and the late Colin Lennox, Co-founder OzGREEN. Photo: Sankat Mochan Foundation, Varanasi India.

“It’s one of the things we do – we have a culture of creating a sense of possibility…’if she can do it, so can I’.

“When we bring change ideas into action and see those changes happen in the world, you’re no longer a victim of it – that’s the most important gift we can bring to young people who are involved in our program.”

OzGREEN’s Resilient Communities launches its first ‘baby’ this February with community programs – see our story in this edition.

SWIFF Chief Shares Award THE Coffs Harbour Australia Day Arts and Cultural award was last week presented to David Horsley, managing director and joint founder of groundbreaking Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF).

A tireless worker for local culture and the arts Horsley is credited with almost single-handedly changing the cultural landscape of Coffs Harbour since 2014 with his wife, Kate Howat.

“It might be my name on it, but it’s at least 50 percent for Kate,” Horsley said.

After six annual editions SWIFF is now the largest regional film festival in Australia with support from industry legends such as Jack Thompson.

“We dedicate everything

we do our whole lives to culture and the arts and to

get the recognition feels good,” Horsley said.

BLUE skies, green lawns and smiles on every face – Bellingen knows how to shine for special occasions, like the swearing-in of a new Mayor and Council.

The newly elected Mayor for Bellingen Shire, Councillor Steve Allan, and seven elected councillors recently took the Oath of Office at Bellingen Council Chambers ahead of the first Ordinary Meeting of Council.

A smiling Cr Allan said, “I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to represent our community and the Shire.”

“Having community support and recognition is a

Elie Tree, with Cr Dominic King and Cr Jennie Fenton returning for another term.

Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremonies preceded the taking of the Oath of Office and it was followed by a meet-andgreet morning tea with the newly elected councillors and their families.

Congratulating all elected councillors and thanking them for their passion to make a difference, Cr Allan also reminded all present, “It’s not actually about us, it’s about the community who elected us and making sure we deliver on their vision for the future.”

Bellingen Council General Manager Liz Jeremy congratulated returning and newly elected Councillors saying, “It’s going to be an exciting time

Cr Cook brings a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding the needs of local agriculture and food production, small business and industry.

SWIFF receives thousands of visitors each year to see a program of cutting edge world cinema, documentaries, industry events, screen art exhibitions, and premieres.

While often challenging to win over support in its early years Horsley says the ‘tipping point’ for the festival came after the 2018 Lightbox exhibition of films projected onto the 40 meter high cliffs at South Coffs Island.

“By the following year I think the people of Coffs registered that the festival was something for them and it’s been growing ever since.”

The festival is headed

Meditating the Zentangle way

By Andrea FERRARI COFFS CALLIGRAPHERS return for their first workshop in 2022 on Saturday, 12 February with a fun class on the ‘Zentangle Method’.

Zentangles have been described as a form of meditative doodling that has patterns (tangles) using dots, lines, and curves to produce mindful art.

Using a minimum of

equipment – fineliner pens, pencil, ruler, and paper – to first learn the basics of the Zentangle method, members old and new will then move on to creating a project using the techniques.

For calligraphers, it is a way of engaging in pen work while creating the repeating patterns, lines, curves, and dots, in a free flowing yet structured way.

“It loosens up both the q Isabella’s Brandli’s zentangle.

hand and the mind,” Isabella Brandli, speaking on behalf of the Coffs Calligraphers, told News Of The Area.

Coffs Calligraphers was formed in 1986 to foster and promote the art of calligraphy on the MidNorth Coast, meeting on the second Saturday of each month at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery.

Group members, whether beginners or more seasoned students on their calligraphic journey, through a combination of external tutors, workshops, and in-house tutors are challenged to learn and improve their art.

Calligraphy, as practised by the Coffs Calligraphers, is much more than pen to paper.

“It’s writing on leaves, rocks, umbrellas, clothing, and bodies, as well as making books and papers,” said Isabella.

Now under the umbrella of the Coffs

CFMMEU and official penalised $90,000 for ‘industrial stalking’ on Hospital Expansion project THE Federal Circuit and Family Court has penalised the CFMMEU $80,000 and its official Dean Rielly $10,000 for threatening, inciting and encouraging a contractor to enter into an enterprise agreement with the CFMMEU and terminate its contract with a labour hire company because the company did not have a CFMMEU agreement.

The Court made declarations of four contraventions by Mr Rielly and four contraventions by the CFMMEU under the Fair Work Act. The Coffs Harbour Hospital Expansion project will provide the community with a new Emergency Department, operating theatres, additional critical care and inpatient beds, as well as increased capacity for chemotherapy and renal dialysis.

It is an important regional health project which at the time the Court noted was valued at $120 million.

At a meeting on 5 March 2019, Mr Rielly threatened the contractor that unless all workers including labour

hire at the precast facility were covered by a CFMMEU enterprise agreement, then any precast manufactured for the Coffs Harbour Hospital would be turned around at the gate and not unloaded.

The threats by Mr Reilly were reportedly made in a deliberate and direct manner and delivered in an at times heated conversation in which Mr Rielly swore and raised his voice.

Mr Rielly also reportedly demanded that the contractor ensure all employees at the yard leave the AWU and join the CFMMEU or he would arrange for a labour hire company covered by a CFMMEU enterprise agreement to replace the employer.

Mr Rielly cited previous blockades effected by the CFMMEU of precast deliveries to construction sites to give force and substance to his threats.

The Australian Building and Construction CommissionABCC alleged these were a reference to the Grafton Gaol Project and a Gold Coast project.

The Court found that the threats were not a one-off isolated utterance.

They were made by Mr Rielly over a period of time to several senior representatives of the contractor.

If carried out, the threatened action could have caused serious disruption to the contractor and the project by bringing about the stoppage of work, delaying practical completion, causing workers to lose their jobs, standing down of the contractor’s own employees and the wastage of transport costs and manufactured precast products that were destined for the project.

Judge Driver in his penalty judgment described Mr Rielly’s conduct as premeditated and said, “The Union was in the midst of a demarcation dispute with its rival union, the Australian Workers Union, which was a motivation behind Mr Rielly’s conduct in addition to the usual industrial objectives of the Union, to ‘organise’ worksites and secure CFMMEU EBAs with

q

employers and employees in what it regarded as its sphere of influence.

“The campaign by Mr Rielly was premeditated and proceeded over a period of time from when he first heard about CPB obtaining the contract for the precast work, increasing in frequency and pressure at the very time CPB was negotiating a new EBA with its employees in March 2019, a form of 'industrial stalking' of employers considered ‘non-compliant’ with the Union’s industrial objectives.”

Judge Driver also commented on the CFMMEU’s behaviour.

“The Union has provided no evidence that, as a consequence of any of these contraventions, or the burgeoning number of them that suggests it has a serious problem in both it and its officials complying with the law, it has instituted any corrective training or reform of its recruiting or employment procedures to better ensure compliance with industrial legislation or its obligations under such

legislation,” Judge Driver said.

“Its ongoing conduct is institutionalised.

“The size and nature of the Union is significant.

“It has real power and influence in the building and construction industry.

Indeed, a preoccupation with the perception of the Union’s power may well explain the nature of the conduct engaged in on this occasion.

“The respondents have given no evidence of remorse or contrition for the conduct leading to the contraventions.”

ABCC Commissioner Stephen McBurney said the CFMMEU’s threats not only jeopardised the timely construction of an important regional hospital extension, but also put the livelihoods of up to 40 local labour hire workers at risk.

“This matter is yet another example of the CFMMEU attempting to use its industrial might to threaten an employer who had some workers that were members of a rival union or were not union members at

all,” Mr McBurney said.

“The actions of the CFMMEU threatened the timely completion of an important regional hospital extension, which aimed to deliver a new improved Emergency Department for the people of Coffs Harbour and the surrounding region.

“Mr Rielly and the CFMMEU contested this matter in Court, as is their right.

“Even after judgment was delivered against them, they have made no apology for their unlawful conduct, they have exhibited no contrition and no remorse.

“This is a familiar refrain for this particular union in cases brought to Court by my Agency.

“The ABCC stands ready to protect the rights of any union and its workers who may become subject to threats, coercion or ‘industrial stalking’ of the type exhibited in this case.

“This attack on regional workers’ freedom of association was found to be unconscionable and unlawful.

“It strikes at the very heart of the protections afforded by the Fair Work Act.”

Tex awarded Order of Australia TEX O’GRADY has been awarded the Member Of The Order Of Australia for outstanding services.

Having done a fair bit of general charitable work when he was in the Navy, it wasn’t until he left in 1992, suffering from undiagnosed PTSD and feeling restless, that Tex came across people who were worse off than himself.

“This pup, Cash, became my best mate and we rode everywhere together.

“We were invited to lead various charity rides which we did.

“It was through Cash that I learned what a difference we could make to a lot of people and how we could bring joy into their lives.”

After the devastating death of Cash being hit by a car, Tex took a year to be convinced to get another dog and continue his good work.

“Over a period of six months I looked at over 200 Cattle Dogs and then one day, after a tip and a chat with a breeder I rode up to

Veterans/EMS has been a passionate project that has taken five years to come to fruition.

“The various lockdowns have slowed us up a bit, but we’ve managed a few trips out around the Solitaries and some whale watching.

“These few trips have proven to me that our program and what we do is successful.

“My inspiration comes from helping others and to see this project grow, so that we can have several boats sailing the East and West coasts supporting our Veterans and First Responders.

“We are after a financial sponsor (maybe a Corporate / Company who could see a benefit in aligning themselves with our project).

“We need to raise around $15,000 per annum to keep the running costs alive to run Mystic.”

$135 rent hike for 83-year-old

By Andrea FERRARI “WHEN did people get so greedy?” Brian Cattanach asks as he tells News Of The Area about the precarious situation his elderly neighbour has found herself in, in Coffs Harbour.

“Judy is 83-years-old, has lived in her unit for 38 years and has now been presented with a rent increase from $315 a week to $450 a week.

“And if she doesn’t agree to the rent increase, she has 21 days to move out from the date of the letter, last week.

“She lives off her pension which is $1,000 a fortnight, so she’d have $50 a week to live on if she agreed to that rent.

“It’s rubbish,” Brian said.

“The owner lives in Queensland and inherited the property.

“The rental agent has been good and done his job and explained the situation to the owner, but they want the $450 weekly.”

Judy says she is devastated by the sudden rent-hike.

“Apart from being disgusted, I am 83-years-old, why would they do this to me?

“I’m a wreck…I’ve got to whizz around now getting my move organised.

“My son is looking for somewhere to rent where I can be included in the family home.”

Brian said, “What if she didn’t have a family? She’d end up living in her car.

devastated for her,” said neighbour Maureen Cattanach.

On top of the recent rent increase, Judy has been unable to go outside her back door to the strip of land where she had the washing line, for the past three months.

“I paved that area myself, but the plumber came in to do some work, pulled up the pavers and it’s been like a building site ever since.

“I’ve been putting my washing on the airer but it’s not the same,” she said.

Brian said, “With the work in town people are moving up to the area – a working couple must be able to afford $400-$450 rent a week but not a pensioner.

“The rent Judy has paid over 38 years of living there…she would have bought the place twice over,” he said.

New Book A Personal Account of Mental Illness

By Paul FOGARTY

COFFS Harbour region speaker, artist and advocate ‘Bipolar Barbie’ this month released the first volume in a planned six-volume set of books detailing her personal day-to-day journey through mental illness.

Titled ‘Drowning In The Seas Of Mental Illness’, the book also lays out methods and techniques she employed to meet the challenges she encountered along the way.

The book gives a creative and raw account of living with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.

The pen-name ‘Barbie’ refers to one moment during her journey where the author realised she had multiple identities that changed clothes, much like the famed children’s doll.

The book illustrates the struggle of living with chronic mental illness and navigating the waters of what she calls “a severely inadequate mental health care system”.

Barbie says she decided to tell her story "to inspire others to never give up reaching out for help”.

“Just talking about the stigma surrounding mental illness is not productive,” she said, adding it was not helpful “to bring attention to the fact that it is normal to shun and stigmatise

sufferers of an ‘invisible illness’".

Barbie said she suddenly and inexplicably found herself lost in her own life while studying law several years ago at university in Sydney - experiencing mental illness for the first time.

‘Drowning’ details the “gruelling process of getting a diagnosis and learning to live with a disease that kills over one million people a year world wide”.

“I believe there needs to be a focus on youth mental health,” she said.

“It's tricky to weigh up the benefits of conditioning a young mind who is still developing their identity with the idea that something is wrong with them.”

Barbie’s book documents her journey through a series of short stories presented through the emotions

International Women’s Day Breakfast Tickets Selling Fast

By Andrew VIVIAN

COFFS Coast women will come together for breakfast on International Women's Day (IWD), Tuesday 8 March, 2022, to celebrate the success of women, along with the announcement of the 2022 Coffs Coast's Woman of the Year.

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women.

It is also a day to review how far women have come in their struggle for equality, peace and development.

The Day provides an opportunity for women to unite, and foster meaningful change.

The IWD Coffs Coast breakfast is organised by three local women’s networks: Coffs Coast Business Womens Network, the Zonta Club of Coffs Harbour and Business Professional women (BPW) Coffs Harbour.

This year’s guest speaker is Lorraine Gordon, who won the ABC's 1994 NSW Rural Woman of the Year Award for developing the largest domestic hydro-electricity scheme in Australia.

Ms Gordon established Yaraandoo Environment Centre as an eco-lodge and function centre, and co-founded the Ebor Beef Cooperative.

She later became the Director of Southern Cross University's $15 million

Farming Together Program which helps farmers, fishers and foresters collaborate.

The program supported over 28,500 farmers, funded 51 projects and established 70 new cooperatives.

Ms Gordon subsequently won the National Rural Community Leader of the Year Award in 2018.

Lyndall Weatherby, who is on the Selection Committee, said, “We’ve had an excellent response to our call for nominations and we have four marvellous finalists.”

The selection process involved individual submissions and face to face interviews, and the 2022 finalists are Jodi Wood, Sarah Poole, Jade Naidu and Lorraine Penn

and ‘personality’ of “each different Barbie”.

“I had a strong sense of who I was … in my early years or at the very least who everyone in my life told me I was,” she said.

Then suddenly “I knew I had lost that person”.

“I tried to get her back like Liam Neelson’s character from the movie ‘Taken’.

“But that didn't work.

“After about ten years of peeling back the layers or filters that I see as aspects of my mental illnesses, I was able to find ‘naked Barbie’,” she said.

“It wasn't a journey about finding who I used to be but discovering who I was.

“I believe everyone fails at who they are ‘supposed to be’; we can only control who we want to become.”

Drowning In The Seas of Mental Illness is available on Amazon and other outlets.

OzGREEN Resilient Communities Facilitators ready to roll out

By Andrea FERRARI

OzGREEN’S Resilient Communities Volunteer Facilitators are ready to commence training and locations have been selected for the 2022 roll out of the program.

During February facilitators will be mentored through the program readying them to deliver to their groups from March.

The Resilient

Communities groups will run monthly from March - October 2022 in North Coffs, Orara Valley, Boambee, Bowraville, Macksville, Scotts Head, Stuart Point, Kempsey and Willawarrin.

“The workshops will provide an opportunity for our local residents to come together to look at the challenges we face, share concerns, discuss local challenges and take action against climate change,”

Kathleen Hannah, OzGREEN Program Manager, told News Of The Area.

OzGREEN’s unique program is based on 30 years experience and fosters the transition from feelings of sadness, helplessness and overwhelm into purposeful action.

“Together the groups will create a vision for the future they are striving for and innovative action plans to bring their vision to fruition.”

Participants in the program discuss local issues and strive to develop change locally.

“Previously the results have ranged from personal changes to home and lifestyle such as installing grey water systems, water tanks, insulation and veggie gardens to community projects such as garden tours, establishing local communications networks, installing neighbourhood food stalls and running free resilience building workshops for the community,” said Kathleen.

The nature of the Resilient Communities process, with participants designing the actions they need to take, makes the program relevant to everyone, no matter how far along they are on the journey to resilience.

The timeframe for action is also not limited to the eight-month program.

The resilience action plans help guide the ongoing journey to being prepared for disasters.

“An important outcome of Resilient Communities is that individuals and communities

Kicking off in March, each month there will be a different focus topic Fire, Water, Food, Energy, Economy and Health - from a global perspective online, and from a local perspective within these communities, led by local leaders.

“Sponsored by North Coast Hotel Group (NCHG), the final sum of $14,000 is the proceeds of two CoffsGrafton-Coffs dinner trains,” Neil Manson, Rainforest Rattler Coordinator, told

News Of The Area.

“The entrée was delivered to Coffs Railway Station and enjoyed with drinks on the cruise to Grafton.

“At Grafton, NCHG delivered the main meal to the train and this was enjoyed on the return journey.

“In addition to the funds raised from ticket sales, raffles were also held to further assist local cancer patients and their families,” said Neil.

pleasure of assisting in the delivery of catering services for the Rainforest Rattler CanDo Cancer Fundraiser Coffs to Grafton Train Trips in January,” Charlie Nalder, Director at NCHG, told News Of The Area.

“Everyone has been touched by Cancer at some stage through their lives, either directly or through family and friends.

“The opportunity to assist in a small way to this event was a 'no brainer' and we are proud to be involved.”

CanDo Cancer Trust Chairperson Julie Jardine commented, “With Covid

it has been difficult to hold our own fundraising events, so we are so thankful to The Rail Motor Society and North Coast Hotels for their generous donations raising over $13,000 for us which helps over 25 local families in the Coffs Coast area.”

Neil added, “If anyone is interested in the train itself it was built in 1961 at the railway workshops in Chullora, was in service

until 2007 (a remarkable 46 years).

“Operated by the 100% volunteer Rail Motor Society funds raised are returned to restoring and maintaining heritage trains for the future enjoyment of future generations.

“The volunteers at The Rail Motor Society (TRMS) acknowledge the tremendous support given to them by the community of the Coffs Coast and when they wished to give something back, CanDo Cancer Trust, that is also 100 percent volunteer operated, was an obvious choice.”

Koala Funding Met With Scepticism

By Andrew VIVIAN

PRIME Minister Scott Morrison recently announced $50 million to facilitate the longterm protection and recovery efforts for Australia’s koalas.

He said the funding would bring together the best of the best researchers, land managers, veterinarians and citizen scientists to protect one of the most special species in the world.

The $50 million is to be spread over next four years and includes $20 million for habitat and health protection projects, $10 million for community-led initiatives, $10 million to extend the National Koala Monitoring Program, $2 million to improve koala health outcomes and $1 million for koala care, treatment and triage.

However, not everyone has been as effusive about the funding as the Prime Minister.

Kevin Evans, President of the Coffs Coast Branch of National Parks Association of NSW, told News Of The Area, “To double our koala population, which is the stated objective of the NSW Government, we must protect and connect remaining koala habitat.

“The quickest and simplest way to achieve this is to commit to ending loss making native forest logging and restore these forests just as the WA and Victorian Government have announced,” he continued.

Mr Evans said, “The taxpayer already owns these forests so it’s the cheapest strategy.

“We must also address widespread land clearing of koala habitat on private land and declare new targeted protected areas such as the Great Koala National Park,” he said.

“The solution is simple, koalas need mature connected forests if they are to survive and what we don’t need is more research to tell us they are endangered,” Mr Evans said.

Local conservationist Tim Cadman from Griffith University described the package as “too little, too late”.

“All the while the bigger problems of climate change, logging and land clearing continue unchecked, our national icon is doomed,” he said.

“Koala habitat must be identified and protected and funding museums, zoos and hospitals is no substitute.

“Political will is required to confront this challenge head-on, not sideways,” Dr Cadman said.

q The announcement of new Federal koala funding faces some scepticism.

By Paul FOGARTY FORMER restaurant and steak-house cook Judy Smith is one of the small army of volunteers keeping community-based services and organisations running in the Coffs Harbour region.

Without fanfare or plaudits Judy organises and gathers ingredients from various sources weekly and then prepares upwards of 30 meals plus assorted pastry treats in her home at Park Beach every Monday.

The meals and treats are then distributed to local homeless residents at Pete’s Place drop-in centre in Earl Street, Coffs Harbour.

“If we have any left-over meals we keep them in the freezer as back-up.”

Originally from Tamworth, Judy has been in Coffs since 1999 and started up volunteering for the Salvation Army in 2000.

“I’m a person who doesn’t like to sit still,” she said.

“Besides, there are a lot of people out there who need help.”

During her eleven years with the Salvos in Coffs Harbour Judy worked her way up to second-in-charge but also found time to volunteer for other charities including the soup kitchen.

Judy then turned to feeding the homeless and began cooking and serving up meals for the homeless at Pete’s Place. In those two years she’s seen a big overall rise in homelessness - mainly with women.

“There’s a lot more women now,” she said.

“And all ages of people from 17 up to their late 60s.”

“Some of the homeless are living in makeshift tarps wrapped around trees, some are camping in their cars,” she said. “But they are very humble and appreciative.”

While displaced local residents can use facilities at the drop-in centre such as showers, toilets, food, laundry, advocacy services and referrals on week-days, it’s the lack of care on weekends and evenings that concerns Judy.

“When it rains they used to be able to get some cover at Pete’s Place,” Judy said.

“But since the erection of a fence they can’t get in out of the rain and stay dry.

“The water floods through everything and it’s a real mess,” she said.

With the increasing number of homeless and the added pressure on available services Judy plans to personally step up her efforts by getting a van fitted out to enable preparation and delivery of meals in the evenings.

“I want to get a van or a caravan and convert it into a mobile kitchen with gas hotplates and things so I can serve up warm meals, hamburgers at night,” she said.

“Some of the homeless are living in makeshift tarps wrapped around trees, in tents, some are camping in their cars,” she said.

In spite of their circumstances, she said, “They are very humble and appreciative.”

Twisted Cast Jump For Joy

q The cast of Twisted jumping after the opening night standing ovation.

‘TWISTED: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier’ rocked, shocked and had audiences in stitches of laughter last week at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium.

By David WIGLEY

‘TWISTED: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier’ rocked, shocked and had audiences in stitches of laughter last week at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium.

Twisted is a musical parody of Walt Disney’s Aladdin, and Boambee’s Lewis Hackfath gives a stunning performance telling the story from the point of view of Ja'far, the Royal Vizier.

The show for adults packs a punch of song, dance, colourful clothing and colourful language which had the crowd on the edge of their seats from the opening act.

It’s been a tough year for everyone in theatre with Covid wreaking havoc with rehearsals and the rescheduling of shows, so when the cast finally got to

perform to the community, director Lewis Hackfath and the cast jumped for joy.

“I am a big fan of the original producers of the show and wanted to direct and produce this show for the local community.

“We held auditions last April 2021 and the show was originally scheduled for September but theatres were closed due to Covid regulations.

“We had to make the agonising decision whether to cancel the show or postpone, it was emotionally and financially draining, that’s why we were all jumping for joy to finally perform in front of a live audience,” said Lewis.

The stop-start nature of rehearsals due to the pandemic had the director questioning himself.

“We were ready to go in September but theatres were closed due to Covid,

q

so when we rescheduled for January we had to go through rehearsals all over again, with a few cast changes as well, by that stage we had heard the jokes so many times they stopped being funny.

“We questioned whether the writing was actually funny, so getting in front of an audience and hearing them laugh was a relief and an absolute joy, that instant feedback was music to my ears.

“Playing in front of an audience is an honour and we are delighted it was well received, for sure the colourful content isn’t for everyone, and it certainly isn’t predictable, which keeps people engaged,” laughed Lewis.

The audition process uncovered a local gem which impressed the casting crew.

“We were blown away by

“We couldn’t believe we hadn’t seen her before; she was a real ‘diamond in the rough’ playing Sherrazard, Ja'far's late wife and she absolutely smashed it.

“This cast has had to overcome every obstacle imaginable to get to where they are, I am so incredibly proud and thankful of this cast for coming down the twisted path with me and was delighted to see them shine like the diamonds they are.

q Rebecca Riches played multiple roles, helped to make the costumes and was the Assistant Director.

Rebecca Riches for putting up with me throughout this show, tensions were very high at times, she has put so much effort into this production and many a late-night sewing costumes to make the cast look fabulous,” said Lewis.

Thomas Madden from Boambee played the role of Aladdin in a polished performance of singing, acting and comedy.

Director of the Naidu Theatre Co, Jade Naidu from Woolgoolga, swapped the director's chair to play Princess Jasmine and captivated the audience with a stunning performance of singing, acting and satire.

Jade told News Of The

Area it was amazing to be back on stage.

“It felt amazing to get back onstage after such a long hiatus with the pandemic - Lewis and the whole production team have gone above and beyond to make sure this show could go forward in the safest way possible for all involved.

“It’s such a fun, light comedy show for adults and I think audiences have been surprised at how incredible the writing is.

“It’s taken everything we know about Aladdin and referenced everything from a different point of view - it’s great fun to portray this twisted tale,” enthused Jade.

Seniors spread the word

By Andrea FERRARI

q Graham Doust – self-confessed cricket tragic, and he loves it.

CONTINUING our series on the Coffs Coast seniors who entered the NSW Seniors Stories writing competition and have had their stories chosen for publication, News Of The Area now chats with Graham Doust, writer of ‘Tales of a Cricket Tragic’, Jill Plummer, who penned ‘Age Is Only a Number – Mine Is Unlisted’ and Eric Burrows, the man behind ‘Intrepid Hiker’.

NSW Seniors Card members were invited to contribute 1,000-word short stories to Seniors’ Stories Volume 7, which can be downloaded as a PDF or audiobook from www. seniorscard.nsw.gov.au.

Graham, a former school Principal in Coffs Harbour entered the NSW Premier’s Seniors Writing Competition presenting the fact that “in our latter years the game is not necessarily over”.

“There is still plenty of time and opportunity to pursue those dreams of younger days and, indeed, fulfil those dreams,” Graham told News Of The Area.

“The short story is basically a timeline encompassing my childhood passion to play cricket at the highest level.

“There is a focus on the obstacles, including my limited ability, that I encountered along the way.

“The opportunities that arose in my retirement years led to representation for NSW at senior cricket national tournaments and the story documents that journey. “‘What’s age got to do with it?’ was the title of the (writing) competition.

“My response is…quite a lot…age can offer so many opportunities, all we have to do is take them and go on to realise our dreams.

“A small group of old ‘cricket tragics’ in Coffs Harbour has formed the Golden Oldies Cricket Club and now quite a large group meets in the nets weekly to train for games played against other regions and

to participate in NSW State teams.

“What a great way to push the body into a meaningful fitness program, extend your social network and reflect upon past achievements.

“This opportunity has certainly lifted people off their lounges and improved their health and wellbeing… and we all have fun.

“My 41-year career in teaching and as an educational leader taught me that we should follow our passions and continue to pursue these right through our lives.

“In a life that has included a wonderful family, broad professional opportunities, the privilege of sharing the stage with many fine musicians and the challenges and fun of playing sport has been one that I believe has given me the balance to retire and remain mentally, socially and physically active.

“My life has been a reflection of the academic, art and cultural opportunities which have been offered.”

Graham Doust’s ‘Tales Of A Cricket Tragic’ is evidence of this freedom.

The NSW Seniors Stories was the first writing competition Jill Plummer had ever entered.

“You can imagine my surprise when my story - ‘Age Is Only a Number - Mine Is Unlisted’ – was accepted,” Jill said.

“I have always loved writing and when I saw the topic ‘What’s Age Got To Do With It?’ on the National Seniors website I thought why not give it a go, never expecting it would be accepted.

“The title resonated with me as I have always thought age is just a number, no big deal.

“It is how you feel about yourself and your life that is more important.

“So, what to write?

“Did I have anything worth writing about that would be interesting to others?

“Turns out I did.

“My idea came from my life since retiring.

“I moved away from

Sydney to Coffs three years ago on my own, not knowing anyone here.

“It has been a journey of discovery for me…finding that I was a lot stronger than I thought and finding I could achieve goals I previously didn’t think I would be able to do on my own.

“Hence the tales of ‘Little Red’ my car, and my travels to many places I had only dreamed of.

“My story was only the tip of the iceberg and writing it brought back many other stories that happened along the way. “Maybe there are more stories to write.

“Being a Senior can be a lonely experience, but you are the only one who can fix this.

“You can be as active as you want or not and find like minded people in the many Community Groups here and I guess it’s a matter of finding what is right for you.

“There seems to be a diversity of interests on offer.

“I volunteer at 2Air FM, helping in the office on a Thursday.

“It is great fun and the people there are a great bunch to work with.

“So, from this still very surprised ‘published author’ life is too short for regrets so live your dreams, you may be surprised where they may lead you.”

Eric Burrows, who wrote ‘Intrepid Hiker’, read about the writing competition in the Seniors newsletter.

“Looking at the subject of the article I thought that my hike would fit the subject matter.

“My only writing before this was editing a newsletter for a yacht club in Melbourne.

“That was 15 to 20 pages

every month for 10 years.

“I have done a course in short story writing but found that creating plots was not my forte.

“The competition had a limit of 1000 words.

“This I found difficult, as for me the walk was more interesting than the preparation but then I thought that the preparation made an interesting story on its own.

“I had to choose one or the other because of this limit so I chose the preparation.

“My views on ageing are

somewhat mixed.

“I have always been busy sailing, hiking, and doing photography, but just when retirement gives you the time it is more difficult to maintain the necessary level of fitness.

“I do believe that as you get old you must maintain your interests and exercise.”

Eric believes the last sentence in his story submission illustrates his views on the topic perfectly, which reads, ‘You can say that you are too tired, too frightened, not fit enough, but don't say that you are too old’.

TEACHERS welcomed students back into classrooms across the state on Tuesday, with vaccinations, rapid antigen testing and mask wearing to play a key role in limiting the spread of the virus and keeping school communities safe.

Premier Dominic Perottet said this was an exciting day for students, and parents and carers can be assured that a wealth of COVID safe measures are in place to ensure minimal disruption to the 2022 school year.

“The best place for

students to learn is at school and getting our young people back to face to face learning is an important part of the plan to live with the virus,” Mr Perrottet said.

“We have worked hard to ensure that every school is a safe environment for students, teachers and school staff.

“We have distributed 8.6 million rapid antigen test (RAT) kits to all schools to ensure that students and staff are able to test for the virus twice a week for the first two weeks of term.

“RAT kits have also been distributed to all early childhood education centres so that educators are able to undertake surveillance testing for COVID-19 twice a week.”

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said she was thrilled to see students walk through school gates and welcomed back to the classroom by their teachers.

“Teachers and students put in an enormous effort last year while they were learning from home, however

we know that being at school has so many social and developmental benefits for children, beyond what they learn in the classroom,” Ms Mitchell said.

“The Department of Education had worked closely with NSW Health to deliver supplies to all schools ahead of students’ return today to make schools as safe as possible.

“Vaccinations remain one of our strongest defences against COVID-19 in our schools and with all staff having received at least two

doses of the vaccination, it’s encouraging to see that our students are also increasingly getting vaccinated.”

More than 80 percent of children in the 12- to 15-yearold age group have had their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and more than 78 percent are double-dosed.

“In the 5- to 11-year-old age group, more than 39 per cent of children have had their first dose.”

Other COVID safe measures including physical distancing, ventilation, mask wearing and cohorting will

“With all these measures in place, we’re confident that students will be able to return to the activities they love while staying COVID safe,” Ms Mitchell said.

Saltwater Freshwater Arts closes with ceremony

By Andrea FERRARI

SALTWATER Freshwater Arts 2021, the Aboriginal art award and contemporary cultural objects exhibition, closed with a joyous ceremony on Friday, 28 January.

“2020 had a huge impact on the world and vastly changed the way we create and engage with the arts,” said Alison Williams, curator of Saltwater Freshwater Arts 2021.

“This exhibition is a testament to our resilience and our undeniable need for cultural expression.

“This multidisciplinary display speaks to the holistic nature of Aboriginal culture that’s deeply embedded in the lands and identity of First Nation peoples from Worimi, Biripi, Dunghutti and Gumbaynggirr nations.”

To close the tour Saltwater Freshwater celebrated with a Corroboree event at Yarrawarra.

This was a free event with all welcome, inviting Aboriginal dance groups from the four nations that make up the Saltwater Freshwater region – Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti, Biripi and Worimi.

“The evening started with a traditional smoking

Seasonal Workers finish season strong

THE team at Oz Group held a farewell recently for the seasonal workers they have been hosting on the Coffs Coast.

During the 2021 season, Oz Group Coop was able to access seasonal workers through a partnership with an approved employer, which meant over 200 seasonal workers were brought into the Coffs Harbour region to supplement local pickers.

This also ensured that growers were able to send produce to market that they otherwise would have had difficulty achieving due to external pressures such as the pandemic and border exclusions.

Oz Group Co-op CEO, Mr James Kellaway, said, “The benefits of our seasonal workers to the local area were multifactorial.

“Firstly, they worked to harvest our fruit for market; secondly, they were

able to pump millions of dollars into the local economy through local retailers and other small businesses; and thirdly, they were able to add cultural richness and diversity to the local community given their heritage.”

Seasonal workers from Vanuatu and Solomon Islands have been hosted by Oz Group on the Coffs Coast for the last seven months, and the Oz Group growers are celebrating not only getting their produce to market but having the opportunity to develop relationships with the workers and hear their stories and learn of the positive impact of their earnings back home in Vanuatu and Solomon Islands.

Kylie Hoschke, Seasonal Worker Project Manager for Oz Group Coop explained, “Oz Group has invested significantly in accommodation, transport and programming support to ensure

that the seasonal workers who come to our region are supported and have the opportunity to improve their lives back home.”

The PALM scheme helps to fill labour gaps in rural and regional Australia by offering employers access to a pool of reliable, productive workers.

It also allows Pacific and Timorese workers to take up jobs in Australia, develop their skills and send income home to support their families and communities.

Chairman of the Oz Group Co-op Board of Directors and local grower, Satpal Singh Gill, who also was a part of the program and employed 14 seasonal workers said, “It was the best bunch of workers I’ve had.

“It’s a pleasure to know that the wages they earn really changes their lives and gives them and their families a brighter future.”

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Claim to enforce squatter’s rights TIM is part of a wealthy family and has inherited a number of properties from various family members over the years.

Tim had regularly moved up and down the coast as a younger man and later in life, settled in a small seaside township.

Tim had forgotten about a large parcel of vacant land that he inherited 25 years ago.

Next to Tim’s vacant land, a conscientious and thrifty developer, ABC Villages Pty Ltd, began to establish a golf course and residential complex.

Shortly after construction began, ABC Villages used Tim’s neighboring land as an access route and a place to store plant and equipment.

15 years pass since the establishment of the golf course and residential complex and sadly, Tim has been diagnosed with cancer.

Tim decides to organise his estate planning and as part of the process, becomes aware of the vacant land and begins to make enquiries regarding its value.

His search leads him to ABC Villages.

Tim asks ABC Villages to vacate the property.

ABC Villages commence legal action against Tim, claiming ownership under “adverse possession”, also known as squatter’s rights, on the basis that they had occupied the land for more than the statutory time limit of 12 continuous years, and could demonstrate its use and possession of the land.

However, during proceedings many locals come out to support Tim. They give evidence that they also regularly access and use the land for dog walking, motorbike riding, bonfires and general recreation activities.

The Court finds that Tim’s land was in fact accessed and used by numerous people for a variety of activities and as the property was not fenced or gated, that ABC Villages did not have “exclusive possession”.

The Court rules ABC Villages was not able to establish the essential requirements of adverse possession and dismisses ABC Village’s application.

DEAR Jasminda,

MY husband and I decided we should both take up a hobby in our retirement to keep our brains active and the boredom at bay.

I joined a local book club.

I thought he might take up golf, but instead he has taken on a life drawing class.

It wasn't quite what I had in mind.

Kellie P.

I AM beyond angry, I am furious at the lack of affordable/renting housing in the Coffs Harbour area.

Why are people living in tents and cars,

Dear Kellie,

The Hills Are Alive DEAR News Of The Area,

THE hills have been alive, not with the sound of music, but of the sound of the Vintage Rainforest Rattler train running rail excursions along the beautiful Coffs Coast, including Coramba and Grafton.

As it made its way through the hills the children had the chance to pull the lever with the toot-toot sound - just magic.

The train is operated by volunteers at

Lachlan Valley Railway and was booked out completely for its trip while here.

Just think we have, in Dorrigo and Glenreagh, trains rusting away because of bureaucracy. What another missed opportunity to promote the area, as Victoria does with their Puffing Billy train.

Regards, Phyllis TAYLOR Coffs Harbour.

Supporting refugees, but not high rises DEAR News Of The Area, BOTH Margaret England's and Richie Tassicker's letters to News Of The Area on 28 January 2022 are spot on.

Margaret's letter (‘More refugee representation’, p22): How can we, as an empathetic and caring community, possibly agree with or support the abhorrent and inhuman treatment of refugees/asylum seekers by our federal government?

These refugees and asylum seekers are real people, whose lives are being whittled away for no other reason than political ideology.

And there are enough of us who keep demanding governments be tough on socalled ‘crime’, when seeking asylum is, as they well know, not a crime.

We all need to care a little more about our brothers and sisters from other lands who are not as fortunate as ourselves to live in a wonderful country like Australia.

Richie's letter (‘No more high-rises at Park Beach, p22): While progress is necessary, in my opinion, rampant and

uncontrolled progress is ruining parts of our city and other cities and towns around the country.

Richie makes a lot of sense when he reminds us of the uncontrolled and poorly planned sprawl of humanity in Sydney.

It's like a cancer, spreading to the north, south and west.

It's astonishing that Sydney's population now exceeds the total population of New Zealand.

There must be more thought given to the rate of progress a city or town can sustain and still be a liveable environment.

The traffic in Coffs is now bordering on that of major cities at peak hours.

It used to take only a few minutes to get from south to north of the city when I moved here in the 80's.

Look at it now - and still at least 5-6 years before the long-overdue bypass may be completed.

Regards, Trevor PIGOT, Coffs Harbour. leaving so many people in dire circumstances which they don’t deserve.

Everyone deserves some dignity and a place to live in safety.

How many homeless people would be housed, with the money spent on the new Civic Centre?

I think it is a very valid question.

Regards, Bev ROWLING, Toormina.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

IT is wonderful that you and your husband are now of an age where you can try out new past-times.

Book Clubs are, of course, simply an excuse to eat cheese, sip wine, and pretend you've read the allocated book, when what you've really done is skim through the plot and main characters on SparkNotes.

It all sounds valid, though, so maybe you will get away with pretending to have taken a sudden interest in being a literary critic.

The same could go for your husband. If he has always shown an interest in drawing, then this could be legitimate.

If, however, the closest he has come to art appreciation is helping you hang the pictures in your home, then he may be attending for an entirely different reason.

Perhaps you could express your genuine curiosity in his new hobby and ask to see his sketches.

You will then know what you are up against.

I wouldn't be too concerned, though.

Life models are very comfortable in their own skin and not in the least bit interested in retirees with fading eyesight.

You could always suggest that you will be his muse.

At least it would give you an interesting topic of conversation at your next Book Club.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD WHILE Friske remained in jail, waiting for his execution on 10 December 1885, his case was considered at a Cabinet meeting, held on Monday, 16 November.

To allow the attendance of the judges involved, it was postponed till Thursday, when it was decided that ‘the law is to be

Contested Clemency (Part 10) allowed to take its course’.

Two weeks after the Cabinet meeting a public meeting was held in Grafton, convened by the Mayor to give residents the opportunity of expressing their opinion on whether Friske should face the death penalty.

Great care was taken to point out that his sentence was deserved, however reasons to commute it included the prisoner’s age and nationality, his confession was the main evidence of the crime and no-one had been hanged in the Grafton district up till this point.

A resolution was moved to send an appeal to His Excellency the Governor to

Why grow spinach?

By Fiona MORGAN ENGLISH spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a fussy little plant who likes a climate rather cooler than ours.

Yes, with attentiveness and gardening experience you can get it to grow here.

It's not the sort of green to look after itself and simply be available for mealtimes.

It's European popularity seems to be based on being one of the earliest plants available in spring when there's not much else to eat.

In this climate we are privileged with a delicious cornucopia of over forty leafy

greens who can replace English spinach in our meals and there is something available at any time of year.

These might not be as well known - yet - however any of these will be easier to grow at home and can be used in similar ways to English spinach depending on your tastebuds.

We have leafy green perennials and annuals, edible leaves of vegetables you may already be growing, and edible weeds which appear with no effort to the gardener.

Imagine, with a variety of edible greens all looking after themselves in your garden, go for a wander and pluck an assortment

Bike Path Concerns DEAR News Of The Area,

WHEN my wife and I are able to venture north to Brisbane to visit our daughter and grandson we always take our bikes, because of the extensive network of wellmaintained cycleways there.

Then we return home to Woolgoolga and become disgruntled on two counts regarding the bike paths here.

One is the lack of bikeways, as well as lack of continuity with existing ones.

This applies to Coffs’ bike paths as well.

extend mercy to Friske and on a show of hands the meeting attendants appeared evenly divided.

Long-term Grafton resident, Mr Thomas Bawdon, reprimanded those against the motion saying it was "a humane attempt to save a man from hanging" and it would have been "much more manly" had the opposition moved an amendment giving their reasoning.

He then finished by saying that "their action was the strongest evidence of the relics of barbarism that he had ever seen at Grafton".

Those in favour of enforcing the sentence stated that "a more blood-thirsty

murder had never been committed" and it was "a disgrace to the civilised world" and based on Scripture "a life for a life was on the same degree of equally".

Another vote was taken, with those of opposing views moving to opposite sides of the room and their numbers counted.

The resolution lost, 49 votes to 54 and the meeting ended.

Many Australian newspapers were following the story of the crime, along with its aftermath and the sentiments expressed at the public meeting attracted much criticism when the details were published.

The next bugbear is the poor maintenance and signposting of the paths that are here.

I wrote to Gurmesh Singh regarding State funding regarding cycleways, to which he promptly responded.

I also wrote to Coffs Council regarding the maintenance issues and received a letter which didn't address my concerns but did point out that there will be an online

forum in March regarding cycleways.

Covid has seen a spike in numbers of people cycling and I feel that it is a must for Council to maintain the existing cycleways at least, simply from the safety aspect for their rate-paying citizens to enjoy.

Impact of Covid-19 on Coffs Harbour’s CALD Communities

By John Akway CHAM *COFFS Harbour’s John Akway Cham contributes stories for News Of The Area on the diverse, multicultural nature of the region, with a focus on the experiences of the area’s refugee community.

COVID-19 has been a main global issue for the last two years, having many impacts on our way of life.

Covid has also been an additional concern for our local Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities, particularly recently arrived refugees, struggling with the day-to-day issues of settling in Australia.

Local man Nawrooz Mihi from Iraq shared with News Of The Area the experience of his family’s arrival to the country in 2019, and settling into life with Covid in Coffs Harbour.

During the bushfires of 2019, Nawrooz and

his family landed in Sydney and changed planes to Coffs Harbour.

Much to his surprise, they landed back at Sydney airport, only to be informed that they were unable to land in Coffs Harbour because of the bushfire smoke, which made it unsafe to land.

“While we were in Sydney, we were given food, but the different taste of food and the long and tiresome journey had taken away our appetite.

“After five hours of waiting at Sydney airport, we flew back to Coffs Harbour and landed safely,” Nawrooz said.

“Our first main challenge and more specifically to myself as a young person, was lack of English, as it was needed for effective communication within the community.”

The challenges of settling in Coffs Harbour were quickly exacerbated by a shocking accident involving Nawrooz’s mother.

“As we were focusing on our settlement, starting a new home in Coffs Harbour, a shocking incident interrupted our first experiences of excitement and curiosity.

“My mother got hit by a car while she was crossing the zebra crossing.

“It took her six months, living on the bed without any movement,” he said.

Another tragedy soon struck when Nawrooz’s elder brother Nawas went missing in Woolgoolga while swimming.

“Until today we have never found his body,” Nawrooz said.

“We remember him as being a hard working person and a young man with a bright future.

“He worked at a pharmacy as well as an interpreter.

“What still hurts me most today is seeing my mother not easily letting the past experiences go.”

Covid- 19 is the latest challenge to Nawrooz and his family.

Covid is making it even harder for people

setting up a new life in Australia.

The first wave of Covid-19 negatively affected our way of life, but there was some hope when Covid-19 cases decreased.

However, seeing its comeback a few months ago created more frustration and it worries people that lockdown could return to interrupt work, study, and many other activities.

Nawrooz hopes that we will all get back to our previous normal way of life, so that we can reunite with relatives and friends.

FRIDAY

THE CHASE AUSTRALIA

PRIME7, 5pm

Have you ever joined a pub trivia team where one person is busy writing down the answer while you’re still repeating the question in your head? Sure it might be good for your points count but hardly good as a means to show off your own knowledge of ’90s pop groups. The Chase Australia was made in an effort to give everyone else a chance to prove their worth while the “chasers” – in this case, trivia queen Anne Hegerty – start the game with a handicap and try to catch up to the rest. Andrew O’Keefe plays quizmaster.

Who could forget the cult series Lost? As possibly one of the best TV series ever made, it’s only natural there will be other shows that copy its mysterious, sci-fi flavour. Melbourne-made series La Brea, premiering tonight, leans heavily into the sci-fi, while also indulging in a wallop of disaster drama. When an enormous sinkhole suddenly opens up in Los Angeles, hundreds of people fall into an unexplainable primeval world. Expect a raft of predictable dialogue as the Harris family are separated and must find a way to be reunited. Fortuitously, Gavin (Eoin Macken) discovers the apparitions that have haunted him for yonks might hold the key to bringing his family home.

JOANNA LUMLEY AND THE HUMAN SWAN

ABC, 9.30pm

Have you heard of a paramotor?

You’ll know all about them after watching this wholesome doco fronted by Joanna Lumley (above). The Absolutely Fabulous star charts Australian-born conservationist Sacha Dench’s quest to raise awareness about climate change. Dench got her nickname after following a flock of swans on their three-month migration journey, from Arctic Russia to England, to understand why the birds’ population is dropping. In this film, Dench uses the same method of transportation – a paramotor is like a battery powered hangglider – to journey around the British coast, while Lumley follows her on land.

Safety Beach Whale Shark follow up

By Andrea FERRARI

FOLLOWING up on the stranding of a Whale Shark on Safety Beach in December, News Of The Area asked Duane March of Ocean Warriors Australia what happened next.

“A 5.5 meter subadult male Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) was stranded on Safety Beach, just north of Darkum Creek at approximately 6:30am on the morning of 16 December.

“It was estimated to weigh three tonnes.

“Members of the public worked together to refloat the animal and get it into deeper water, but the animal did not swim away strongly,” Duane said.

Ocean Warriors Australia arrived at the scene as the animal was being refloated out past the breaking waves.

A brief search of the area by snorkel failed to find the animal, and it was hoped that it had moved by

itself into deeper waters.

“Unfortunately, around 9:00am the animal restranded.”

Members of the public again tried valiantly to get the animal off the beach, but the tide was falling, and the animal was weak.

As the tide receded, the difficult decision was made to euthanize the animal.

“A large injection of a sedative was given into the muscle and after around 15- 20 minutes, the animal visibly relaxed and passed away shortly afterwards.

“A blood sample collected from the animal showed no signs of infectious or chronic disease.

“The only abnormalities were consistent with the intense effort that would have accompanied the stranding event.”

Consultation between the Department of Primary Industries and local Garby Elders resulted in a burial ground being identified for the animal.

The stranding attracted significant domestic and international interest, and there was a long list of scientific samples requested.

Unfortunately, a number of days passed without the carcass being removed and eventually it is assumed that the carcass was washed out to sea on a high tide.

Whale Sharks are famously known to inhabit the Western Coast of Australia; however, it is not unusual to see sub-adult animals swimming in the Solitary Island Marine Park.

“It was sad to see the animal on the beach.

They are such big, beautiful animals.

“It was a real shame that we did not get to do a postmortem on the animal.

“Whilst it is sad that the animal had to be euthanized, the real shame is that we missed an opportunity to work out why it was stranded in the first place,” said Duane.

Misuse of Vinnies bins PICTURED was the disappointing scene confronting St Vincent de Paul workers recently as they proceeded on their rounds for discarded clothing collection.

This is the only Vinnies clothing bin left in Coffs Harbour and now is in danger of being removed from the public like all the others.

The bin’s sign clearly asks for wearable clothes only, that are then sorted and sold in the Vinnies shop in Elbow St, the proceeds from which are then used to help others less fortunate.

A Vinnies spokesperson said that instead of helping the charity, the people responsible for this scene at St

q The Vinnies bin surrounded in bags at St Augustine’s Church car park.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Augustine’s Church car park are costing the charity and their volunteers precious time and extra workload.

“The clothing often left is of no use and amongst the items left is often other household rubbish.

“When left outside the bin the clothing is subject to the weather, creating another problem for those sorting the clothing and other rubbish after recent rain showers.”

Vinnies estimates only half of what is left is useable; the rest has to go to the tip and be paid for through tip fees.

It partly defeats the purpose of the clothing bin program.

St Augustine’s Parish

Manager John Walker said some people are too lazy to dispose of their unwanted household items and unwearable clothing properly.

“The bin is used as a dump site creating an unsightly mess confronting parents and children of the nearby Catholic primary school and church goers alike.

“Vinnies would like to thank, however, all those who have used the clothing bin in the past for its proper purpose as the Charity has certainly been able to assist many of the homeless and disadvantaged in the Coffs Harbour area for many years and will continue to do so,” he said.

Karamjeet Sandhu and Neeraj Kumar both took three wickets each for the Colts, with Sandhu taking 3/35 from his 8 overs and Kumar 3/29 from 4 overs.

The Northern Districts Rebels and Sawtell both hit the road this weekend for Round 8 of the North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season.

Sawtell were also victorious in Round 9 beating the Northern Districts Rebels by nine wickets in Coffs Harbour.

The first-grade season continues this weekend with Round 10 matches as the Northern Districts Rebels host Diggers Cricket Club Inc. in Woolgoolga, while Valleys Cricket host Sawtell in Dorrigo.

Northern Districts Rebels and Sawtell secure convincing wins SPORT

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Northern Districts Rebels and Sawtell have shown their premiership credentials with convincing wins during the latest round of the North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season.

The Rebels consolidated top spot on the ladder with a six wicket win against Harwood, while Sawtell were also successful in Round 7 with an 83-run win

against the Coffs Colts.

The Rebels bowlers shone against Harwood in Woolgoolga dismissing them for just 75 after the away side opened the batting.

Anuroop Grewal took 4/15 from his 6 overs including the scalps of both the openers, while Humraj Singh finished off the lower order taking 4/14 from his 5.5 overs.

The Rebels reached the target with six wickets to spare in the 24th over.

Rebels captain Taj Dosanjh shared with News Of The Area the delight in his team's bowling performance.

“It was a very good bowling effort by the team, some good work by Anuroop Grewal and Humraj Singh, they bowled very consistently and to the plan,” he said.

Sawtell’s bowlers were also match winners against the Coffs Colts, dismissing the Colts for 95 in their one-

day match at Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park.

Toby Bailey was the best of Sawtell’s bowlers taking 3/13 from his 8 overs in a true team effort, with Charlie Howard, Jake McMillan, and Trent Dierick all taking two wickets each.

Sawtell opened the batting and set Colts 179 for victory after finishing at 9/178 from 40 overs.

Coffs swimmers shine at NSW State Championships in Sydney

By Aiden BURGESS

A SMALL team of Coffs Harbour swimmers have achieved stellar results during the recent NSW Senior State Age Championships in Sydney.

Lilly Geddes had her most successful State Age Championships, earning her first medal winning a bronze in the 16 years girls 800m freestyle.

She also earned a further six top ten finalist placings, notably fourth in the 16 years girls 1500m freestyle smashing her personal best by a further 30 seconds.

Bella Teale had an incredible meet, earning four new national times and swimming in five finals.

Teale has improved dramatically since last year's Senior State Championship, where she earned her place in one final.

She placed fourth in both the 14 years girls 100m and 200m backstroke, just narrowly missing a medal by .07 of a second.

Sylas Phillips is going from strength to strength after earning one finals spot last year, improving to three state finals at this year’s event.

This State Age Championship he improved his state ranking to fifth in the 15 years boys 200m backstroke.

He swam an incredible personal best to earn a place in his 100m backstroke final, and went on to smash his personal best further in the final to place seventh in a very close field.

Mitchell Hickey swam on just the final day of competition in the 17 years 1500m freestyle, placing fourth in the event and improving his ranking of seventh in last year's event.

He continued his preparation for the Open

A TREMENDOUS field of golfers will be teeing off when the Geoff King Motors North Coast Open starts on 22 February.

It’s not just the number of both experienced and rising professionals that will be playing at Coffs Harbour Golf Club that's creating excitement but also the number of local amateurs that will be in the field for galleries to watch.

Locals such as Billy Flanagan, Logan Toms, Aden Louez and Lachlan Squires will be playing in the 36-hole event.

A number of professionals with links to the Coffs Coast are also likely to play.

The list includes Jack Pountney, Tyler Corfe and Amelia Mehmet-Grohn who finished third in her professional debut last month at the WPGA Melbourne International.

Mitch McComas who practically grew up with a club in his hand at Coffs Harbour’s 27-hole layout will also be playing.

McComas recently won the Maffra ProAm before following up with a twelfth place finish in the South Coast Open played earlier this week.

Coffs Harbour Golf Club general manager Paul McAra said he can’t wait for the event to begin.

“As if it wasn’t already exciting enough having 80 professionals and 40 amateurs tackle our wonderful course, now we’ll be able to see eight to ten locals tee it up as part of the strong field,” McAra said.

“We are looking forward to the challenge, I think it’s better to have a tough challenge from the beginning, it could be a blessing, the boys have been training hard.

“We are pleased the fixture is at our home ground Mclean Street in front of our home supporters, we put up a new stand at the end of last

year so this will be the first time it gets used.

“The pitch is looking really good, with plenty of grass on the surface after the rain so it should be a good surface to play our brand of football,” said Glen.

The Lions will be without two of their star players from 2021 as Jemila Oko and Mabior Garang aren’t on this year’s roster.

The coach is both happy and sad to be without Jemila and Mabior who came through

“It’s sad to lose quality players like Jemila and Mabior especially as they came through the ranks at the Lions and are great lads.

“Mabior has joined Mount Druitt and Jemila has joined Edgewater so it’s an exciting time for both of them and we wish them all the best,” said

Coffs Harbour basketballers win national 3 on 3 title

q Ashley Schellenberger, Lachlan Martin, Lachie Mihai, and Billy Rigby celebrate winning the national title.

By Aiden BURGESS FOUR fantastic Coffs Harbour basketballers have been crowned national champions.

Lachlan Martin, Lachie Mihai, Billy Rigby, and Ashley Schellenberger were part of the North Coast Basketball team which won the 18 and under boys national title at the NBL 3x3 Big Hustle National Championships in Ballarat.

The North Coast Basketball team won the national final by one point in a thrilling game against the Sydney-based Hills Hornets.

The North Coast team won 4 of their 5 games on the way to winning the national title, with their only loss coming in their first pool game against eventual runners-up Hills Hornets.

Winning North Coast Basketball player Ashley Schellenberger said the team improved every game on their way to winning the national title.

“I think how we performed from the first day to the second day

was a good thing for us development wise as every game we performed better and got better, so I think if it wasn’t for those downfalls we had in those first few games we wouldn’t have been able to perform like we did in the final,” he said.

North Coast Basketball coach Robert Linton explained to News Of The Area how his team were able to bounce back after a first up loss to their eventual finals opponent.

“Everything clicked for them in the last game,” he said.

“They had lost to that team on the Saturday and weren't playing as a team, they changed that in the final and it was great to watch them work together for the win.”

The national champions were one of ten North Coast Basketball teams who took part in the 3x3 national titles, with seven of the ten teams making the finals of their respective competitions.

Linton said taking his teams to compete at the nationals was about the

Group 2 Rugby League facing potential referee shortage

By Aiden BURGESS

GROUP 2 Rugby League have put the call out for referees as they face a shortage of officials heading into the 2022 season.

The addition of three

teams with the Nambucca Roosters, Orara Valley Axemen and Sawtell Panthers all returning for the upcoming season means more referees will be needed to officiate games with nine clubs to compete

in 2022 after six last season.

The addition of three clubs means additional games and the need for more referees, which could create a potential problem with Group 2 currently having just 12 referees.

Group 2 Rugby League veteran referee Nathan Grace highlighted the need for more referees for the upcoming season.

“It isn’t good when you’ve got the possibility of 16 games per weekend,

the purpose is driving with control, as opposed to driving fast and making mistakes.

Bob Carle, President of The Coffs Coast Festival of MotorSport, told News Of The Area the event has universal appeal and is open to juniors ages 12 and up.

“We want to invite some of our older members to get back into it, young P-plate

drivers, younger people interested in cars, and juniors, male or female, mums, dads, grandmas and poppys anyone who wants to have some safe enjoyment in their car.

“Juniors can run in this type of event from the age of twelve.

“This is where your child learns to drive, not how to

get a licence, there is a huge difference.

The Car Club have their own car for the Juniors to compete in, a Suzuki Alto, which will be available to them to use on the day at no extra cost.

“Parents are allowed to go with the Juniors or a Car Club Member will be able to go with them to instruct and advise the kids while completing the particular discipline,” said Mr Carle.

“Participants learn to start, stop and steer with plenty of room in a paddock to make mistakes and see what they did wrong.

“By the time they get on the road they have a much better idea what driving means and helps their driving ability.”

Mr Carle said the skills learnt at the event could save lives, as drivers were educated in what to do in an emergency.

“This is not just for 12

so we probably need a minimum of 22 to 25 referees to cover all games comfortably,” he said.

Grace said policies in place would hopefully help keep referees in the game.

“Once it starts getting a bit personal that’s where people are walking away, hopefully with the implementation of the tough love policies in place that will help retain some of

Whilst the Coffs Coast has produced champion winning drivers, the club promotes enhancing driving skills to make driving safer as Carle explained.

“Over the years many Juniors have learnt to drive and gone on to greater driving feats.

“Nathan Quinn, one of our car club juniors, is an outstanding example, making it to being an Australian Champion Rally Driver.

“This invite to the Juniors is not to make race drivers out of them but to teach them total control of their car in an emergency.

“We compete for a great day out individually or with the family.

“There are no sheep stations to be won here, just have a lot of fun.

“Anyone wanting to have a go, adults to Juniors and all ages between are welcome, you can join the Club for the day to have a try, there will be plenty of help.

“These events are run under Motorsport Australia [CAMS] rules and insurance regulations, there will be members and officials to be sure the event is carried out in the safest possible way, we are here to have fun in our motor cars.

“Anyone wishing to have a go will have to join the Car Club, a day licence will be available plus an entry fee of $15 for Juniors up to 16 years old and $35 for Adults.

“The Event will be run under strict Covid regulations so bring any food and drinks required, the club will have drinks for sale but not our usual BBQ,” concluded Carle.

Coffs Harbour junior cricketers win inter-district titles

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour’s best junior cricketers have done their region proud by taking out inter-district titles.

The Coffs Harbour under 16s and 14s representative teams did the premiership double winning the grand finals of their respective competitions to take out the North Coast Cricket Council’s inter-district titles.

Coffs Harbour’s junior

representative teams beat Valleys Cricket in both grand finals, with the under 16s winning their grand final at Coffs Harbour’s Fitzroy Oval, while the under 14s won their title at Macksville’s Phillip Hughes Oval.

The Coffs Harbour under 16s won their grand final by 33 runs against Valleys Cricket.

Coffs Harbour opened the batting and posted 9/150 from their 50 overs led by Toby Bailey’s top knock of 63.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

The Coffs Harbour bowlers then clinched the inter-district title bowling out Valleys Cricket for 117, with Flynn Taylor taking 3/14 from his 6.5 overs and Lachlan Schwager taking 3/12 from 5 overs.

The Coffs Harbour under 14s won their inter-district final in dominant fashion beating Valleys Cricket by 97 runs in Macksville.

Coffs Harbour set Valleys Cricket a formidable total of 193, with Daniel Craig rising to the occasion with a pivotal knock of 87

not out.

Coffs Harbour dismissed Valleys Cricket for 96 with Patrick Rose and Ashton Herbert doing the bulk of the damage.

Rose took 4/17 from his 10 overs, while Herbert took 3/27 from 9.4 overs which included dismissing the two Valleys Cricket openers.

The North Coast Cricket Council’s junior representative inter-district competition features four regions; Coffs Harbour, Valleys Cricket, Clarence River, and Lower Clarence who compete in three age groups.
