Vaccine Challenge

By Sandra MOON AWARD Winning local General Practitioner (GP) Ashlea Broomfield told News Of The Area that the community should not be concerned about the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine as Australia is in a favourable position having been able to learn from the lessons of Europe.

“We saw what happened in Europe and that led us to be able to act proactively with COVID-19,” she said.

“And now with the vaccine we are seeing this being given to tens of millions of people and can see what has happened.

“In Australia we have the benefit of learning from other countries and their programmes and can see how we can assess the data to determine what can be the safest rollout for our patients.

“And we are keeping up to date with all of that data so it is really

important to keep discussing with your GP if you have any concerns.”

Dr Broomfield said GPs, who are known and trusted, will be crucial to gaining community support and discussing case by case patient factors.

However Dr Broomfield admits that there are some challenges ahead with community concerns.

“There has been some hesitancy of the speed around the rollouts of the vaccination but because it was such an infectious disease there has been a huge amount of resources thrown at the vaccination research,” she said.

The widespread nature and media exposure given to the vaccine also resulted in a higher number of volunteers for the trial than usual.

“Thousands of people volunteered for the trials and

the higher number of study participants has meant that for each medication and intervention testing they have had a wider group of people which is best.”

She continued, “Previous studies for infectious diseases have had to get participants onboard over a longer period of time.

“So we can be confident that the provisional approval of the Pfizer vaccine from the Therapeutics Goods Administration is based on rigorous trials and data.”

and Police Divers retrieved his body.

A report on his death will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

Currently she said GPs are being called upon to express interest to the local Primary Health in participating in the COVID-19 Vaccination rollout as part of the COVID-19 Vaccination Road Map. “For GPs out there keep up to date with information from the TGA, the Australian Technical Advisory Group and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

“And for the government it is vital that GPs get financial and infrastructure support for the rollout,” she said.

Coffs Hospital ‘vaccination hub’ FROM Page 1

The hospital was chosen along with Royal Prince Alfred, Westmead, Liverpool, Hornsby, St George, Nepean, Newcastle, Wollongong, Dubbo and Wagga Wagga hospitals as the first ‘vaccination hubs’ to offer priority groups the Pfizer vaccine at the end of this month.

These initial ‘vaccination hubs’ possess the required storage, vaccine handling and administration capacity to roll out the Pfizer vaccine.

The Pfizer vaccine has very specific transport, storage (-70c) and handling requirements.

A spokesperson from NSW Health informed News Of The Area that they had been advised that priority for the vaccine will be applied to frontline healthcare staff.

“The focus will be those staff most likely to come into contact with COVID-positive patients,” the spokesperson said.

Vaccinations will be offered in phases, and the first frontline health facility

Photo: Mid North Coast Local Health District. workers to be offered prioritisation for the vaccine in the first phase of the vaccination program (Phase 1a) include ambulance and patient transport staff, emergency department staff, critical care ward staff (ICUs and medical retrieval teams), COVID clinic and COVID testing staff, COVID ward staff, COVID immunisation clinic staff, and COVID pathology lab staff.

In addition, staff supporting the above areas will be considered for

prioritisation in Phase 1a of the vaccination rollout.

This will include cleaners (including contract cleaners), wards persons, infection control staff, radiology staff, physiotherapists, pharmacy staff, security, social workers, mental health/drug and alcohol consultation liaison staff, and medical/surgical team doctors and nurses who may be expected to attend ED, ICU or COVID wards/clinics.

Other healthcare workers will be prioritised to receive a vaccine from Phase 1b.

In the first few months of the vaccination program it is anticipated that there will be limited doses of the vaccine available in Australia.

Once more vaccine doses become available from Phase 1b, it is expected that one or more COVID-19 vaccines will be available for the wider population through the usual immunisation providers, including GP practices, GP respiratory clinics and Aboriginal health services.

A COVID-19 vaccine is expected to be more generally

www.newsofthearea.com.au

available to the public from mid 2021.

The Commonwealth Government will lead implementation of the vaccine for the residential aged care and disability care sectors.

The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been provisionally approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for people sixteen years and older, and it involves two doses.

Australia has also entered into a purchase agreement for the Oxford/Astra Zeneca

vaccine, as well as the Novavax vaccine.

The Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine is expected to arrive in March.

NSW Health is waiting for the TGA to provide approval for use of the other COVID-19 vaccines in Australia, along with information on which population groups the vaccine may be safely given to.

NSW Health plans to monitor the safety and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccination program using existing surveillance systems.

Climate Change Already Costs Us

By Andrew VIVIAN THE Mayor of Bellingen Shire, Cr. Dominic King, is concerned about the increasing climate change related costs to Bellingen Shire Council.

Cr King said that more frequent, big storms also damage roads, bridges and infrastructure.

Recent storms had undermined the lookout tower at Hungry Head and a bridge at Darkwood had needed repair.

“We know that the science is telling us that these events are becoming more frequent and more intense”, he said.

As well, heat waves affect road and park maintenance and the general health of some sections of the population, which all add to Council costs.

The Climate Council has released a new report that found that extreme weather disasters driven by climate change have cost New South Wales $9 billion in the past decade.

The ‘Hitting Home: The Compounding Costs of Climate Inaction’ report says all the types of extreme weather events that affected NSW in 2020 (bushfires, heatwaves, drought, storms, coastal

q Councils face increased costs because of climate-change induced damage to infrastructure.

A key report finding relevant to the Coffs Coast is that climate change is increasing fire danger across NSW, including in ancient Gondwana rainforests, which were previously considered too wet to burn, but were razed during Black Summer.

Other findings were that ‘flash droughts' are a newly recognised phenomenon that affect NSW (sudden onsets and rapid intensification of drought conditions over a period of weeks or months) and that NSW communities

like the Hunter Valley are exposed to economic risks as countries that currently buy large amounts of our fossil fuels are now committing to net zero emissions by around mid-century.

Cr King told News Of The Area that the impact of the drought before the fires had a massive impact on the liveability of the town.

Bellingen draws its water supply from the river, and the town’s water supply was under threat before the drought broke.

Longer term, rising sea levels can affect the drinking water supply with increasing salinity.

Cr King stressed the need for a sustainable approach to economic recovery.

“Green jobs that involve First Nations and young people will help protect our forests and water supply,” he said.

He emphasised that, “The economic effects of doing nothing about climate change are much more than the cost of doing something.”

erosion, and flooding) will worsen due to climate change.

According to lead author and Climate Council spokesman Professor Will Steffen, New South Wales has suffered great economic damage from climate-driven extreme weather disasters over the last decade, and on a

per person basis were around double those in Victoria and quadruple those in Tasmania.

“By 2038, extreme weather events driven by climate change, as well as issues like sea level rise, could cost the Australian economy $100 billion every year,” he said.

Public called on to report cane toad sightings on the Coffs Coast

LOCALS are being asked to keep an eye out for cane toads in the Coffs Coast region, with recent sightings of the invasive pest at Emerald Beach.

North Coast Local Land Services has received reports of cane toads at the wetland by Look At Me Now Headland, Emerald Beach, and is now calling on the public to check for toads and report any possible

sightings.

The organisation issued the call on its Facebook page and stated “cane toads are a serious invasive pest, which could have devastating impacts on local biodiversity if allowed to establish in the region”.

The best time to look for cane toads is on warm rainy nights or in spots they may be sheltering during the day or cool weather.

Always where gloves and protective eyewear.

If you think you have found a toad, catch it and place it in a container with air holes and some water.

Then photograph the toad and report it to NSW DPI Biosecurity using their online reporting form at https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/ biosecurity/animal or email invasive.species@dpi.nsw.gov. au.

Get Ready for $465,000 of Bushfire Grants GET ready to see $465,000 worth of grants from our Shire’s $1.5m Bushfire Recovery, Resilience and Preparedness funds deliver local projects that will build the community’s capacity to prepare, respond and recover from natural disasters.

Bellingen Shire Council Mayor, Cr Dominic King, said it

was exciting to see the Shire’s Get Ready, Get Together and Assist and Empower Grant funds invested in community driven projects that would directly or indirectly benefit every resident across our Shire’s villages.

“There’s a whole range of fantastic projects that have been funded and it’s great

to see how everybody has embraced the opportunity to strengthen our community’s capacity to meet the challenges our Shire faces now and into the future.”

Cr King said the bushfire grants program had attracted a competitive field of submissions and that

the projects selected would deliver Shire-wide solutions to ensure we are well prepared for the next fire season.

“The projects selected will not only strengthen our capacity to meet the range of challenges bushfires present our Shire because they will also help us prepare, respond and recover from the range of

natural disasters we’ve faced including the recent floods and drought.”

Cr King said the community and Council had worked in partnership to identify the projects that would now provide long-term solutions to the environmental, social and economic challenges we will

face in the years ahead.

“The decisions we have made as a community, what is important to us and how to best prepare ourselves for the future has required a lot of hard work by everyone involved and I congratulate our community on the quality of the projects they have delivered.”

Gould is based in Coffs Harbour, where she has established a University of Newcastle-affiliated

for the project, Dr Nicole Ryan said, “This funding will help in incorporating feedback from local women

to not only make it culturally appropriate but to include evidence-based guidance for the individual person.”

Safety checks at Coffs Harbour Airport Important flight path safety checks are being carried out at seven NSW aerodromes in early February 2021, including Coffs Harbour

THE checks are being conducted by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to make sure instrument procedure flight paths at the aerodromes operate safely.

The aerodromes being

checked on 1 and 2 February are Taree, Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Lismore and Ballina Byron Gateway.

A twin-engine Cessna Conquest aircraft will be

used to carry out the safety checks within an area up to 35 kilometres from the aerodromes.

Low-level flying is an essential part of the safety exercise, with the aircraft

down as low as several hundred feet at times.

Local residents may notice an uncommon flying pattern, but this is to make sure obstacles are accurately marked on charts and no new obstacles exist.

Obstacles can be towers, trees, masts or buildings that can be a danger to aircraft.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority requires aerodrome flight path safety checks to be carried out every three years

ON Monday afternoon member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated Associate Professor Gillian Gould and her all-women team comprising Aboriginal researchers, non-Indigenous researchers and experts on securing a $50,000 grant to support development of the MAMA-EMPOWER App. The app provides tailored support for women to tackle risk factors affecting their health.

The funding from the NSW Government’s Investing in Women funding program allows for further development of the system designed to address the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal women during preconception or pregnancy.

Associate Professor

The app provides tailored support to women to tackle four risk factors impacting their health – smoking, alcohol, physical activity, and low fruit and vegetable intake.

It will incorporate behavioural change techniques such as goal setting and reminders and has an interface that is easy to connect with.

Associate Professor Gould said, “The aim of the app is to provide an interactive experience that will replace some traditional support methods such as providing information pamphlets that were often not highly effective.

“We are hoping to launch the final app around June this year, depending on the speed of the development.”

Since 2013, the Investing in Women Funding Program has provided more than $2.3 million to projects that support women. For more information, visit https:// www.women.nsw.gov.au/.

Helipad DA Dismay

By Andrew VIVIAN

PROMISED Land residents, at Gleniffer, are unhappy with a development proposal to install a helipad at an expensive retreat in the area.

The Hermes Estate advertises itself as a place that is ‘very much for those who understand high level service and wish to immerse themselves in a premium experience’.

A stay at Hermes is for the very wealthy, with ‘vacation guests’ being greeted with a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne and Haigh’s chocolates while ‘wellness guests’ receive fresh juice or herbal tea, and fresh fruit.

Hermes Estate

promotes itself as an exclusive venue for one or two people at a time, with a butler and concierge available 24/7.

The estate’s website provides the details required for travelling to Coffs Harbour airport by private jet.

The development application for the helipad includes an assessment of possible helicopter noise, but only for Hermes Estate neighbours and does not appear to mention the rest of the flight path from Coffs Harbour airport, or from other airports.

The application also suggests that there would be less than seven landings in a week and as few as ‘only 4 – 12

movements per year’.

Neighbours, however, are not convinced.

One resident told News Of The Area that, “The entire aesthetics of the valley would be changed, from a peaceful place to relax to a commercial enterprise.

“We are all pretty friendly around here and I don’t know anyone who is in favour of it.”

Another resident agreed, saying, “The idea of helicopters in somewhere like the Promised Land is completely inappropriate and would destroy the amenity of the area.”

Because there have been more than thirty objections to the application, it will be

PLANNING is under way to improve Mullaway Beach Reserve facilities and make the park more accessible, as project partners continue to enhance recreational and cultural experiences within Coffs Coast Regional Park.

Mullaway Beach Reserve forms part of the Coffs Coast Regional Park, which is governed by a NSW Government-appointed Trust Board of community representatives, including Aboriginal Elders, and representatives of the Park’s management partners, Coffs Harbour City Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Chairman of the Coffs Coast Regional Park Trust Board, Rod McKelvey, said the Trust Board and Council have allocated about $470,000 for construction of upgraded facilities in 2021, and for design of future enhancements to the Reserve.

“A draft concept plan has been prepared for the Reserve.

"Community comments are invited to help finalise the designs, before construction starts this year on the first stages, which include a new playground, new amenities

where we have worked with Aboriginal Elders to construct a cultural heritage education area and pathways featuring Indigenous artworks,” Mr McKelvey said.

Coffs Coast Regional Park covers 562 hectares.

The park includes 27 kilometres of coastline - the

Inclusive Consultations Begin in Bellingen Shire

By Andrew VIVIAN

MORE than twenty percent of Australians have a disability and ninety percent of people with a disability take holidays once a year.

This results in 8.2 million visitor nights, and the inclusive tourism market is estimated to generate $8 billion.

People with disabilities spend 1.5 times more than

others, stay an average of 8 nights, are often in groups of four or more and tend to travel during the quieter times.

Inclusiveness and accessibility also considers the elderly, families travelling with small children and people with illness and temporary injuries as well.

More than 50% of people over the age of 55 will have some sort of disability –

whether they identify with it or not.

Bellingen Shire Mayor, Cr Dominic King has said, “When you consider that tourism is the largest and fastest growing industry worldwide and that Inclusive Tourism will account for 25% of the market by 2020, it is crucial that we develop an inclusive culture within our local tourism industry.”

The Council is developing

an Inclusive Tourism Strategy to prepare for and attract the inclusive tourism market, which involves working with local and regional tourism associations, local chambers of commerce, local business, various service providers and possible funding sources.

The Council has enlisted Inclusive Tourism Pty Ltd to roll out training for businesses over coming months which will cover an ‘Introduction to Accessible Tourism and Disability Awareness Training’.

Inclusive Tourism Pty Ltd is also engaging with stakeholders to share their thoughts and experiences to ensure the project will have the best outcomes for the community.

Consultation workshops will be held throughout February, as follows:

• Wednesday 17 February at the Urunga Literary Institute Hall from 10am -12pm • Wednesday 17 February at the Bellingen Youth Hub from 4pm -6pm • Thursday 18 February at the Dorrigo Community Centre from 10am -12pm

Bellingen Shire residents who would like to provide input but are not able to attend a workshop can email bellingen@inclusivetourism. com.au or call 0418 430 396, by Monday 8 February.

Experts Say Laws Fail To Protect Environment

By Andrew VIVIAN CONSERVATIONISTS are often referred to as ‘greenies’ with the implication that they don’t understand the realities of living in the country.

However, these greenies, and many ‘ordinary’ people, who are frustrated with Federal and State inaction and lack of coordination to combat climate change and protect forests and biodiversity, have enjoyed some validation in recent government commissioned reviews.

At a state level, the Auditor General’s review of planning for securing regional water supply found that, since 2014, the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment has “lacked a strategic, evidencebased approach to target investments in town water infrastructure”.

The Bellingen Shire Council recently passed a resolution to ask the State Water Minister to respond to this review because the Council wants to see a positive response that helps local government keep water supply secure and affordable.

Last Friday, the Federal Government quietly released a report, which it commissioned, into the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act

state of environmental decline.

Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley has said the government was ‘committed’ to a number of recommendations outlined in Samuel’s interim report, including national standards, a single touch approval process, ‘rigorous’ assurance monitoring for bilateral agreements, and the modernisation of Indigenous cultural heritage protection.

However, Professor Samuels has indicated that ‘cherry picking’ from the recommendations would lead to the same poor outcomes as the existing laws.

The Federal Government has previously rejected the recommendation to set up an independent watchdog but the National Cabinet of state and territory leaders agreed in December to explore further streamlining of approvals, building on the standards that Professor Samuel proposed.

Both Federal and NSW State Governments have their own reports that recommend that improvements must be made to protect the environment, and surveys indicate that up to eighty percent of Australians also want effective protection.

1999 (EPBC Act), first passed 20 years ago.

Professor Graeme Samuel’s review of the act has recommended that an independent watchdog be set up before the federal government moves ahead with giving decisionmaking powers to state and territory governments over developments.

He found that Federal environmental laws have failed to protect Australia's unique wildlife, plants and ecosystems from land-use change, habitat loss, feral animals and invasive plant species.

Professor Samuel wrote, "The impact of climate change on the environment will exacerbate pressures and contribute to further decline.”

His review recommends national environmental standards to ensure development decisions advance environmental and heritage outcomes.

It urges the federal government to consult widely, including with Indigenous Australians and science, environmental and business stakeholders.

Professor Samuel said the 38 recommendations in his review amounted to substantial and necessary reforms to reverse the current

Familial DNA collection pilot program THE NSW Police Force will launch a familial DNA collection pilot program on the state’s Mid North Coast next week, which aims to assist detectives with ongoing historic missing persons investigations.

Following a comprehensive review of operations, the NSW Police Force announced the establishment of the Missing Persons Registry (MPR) and the implementation of new systems and procedures, which came into effect in July 2019.

Since that time, the MPR has undertaken a review of all 769 long-term missing persons cases in NSW and identified a lack of Direct or familial DNA profiles for a significant number of historical investigations.

State Crime Commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Darren Bennett, said the collection of DNA samples is a fundamental function of missing persons, unidentified

bodies and human remains investigations.

“Currently in NSW, we have 769 long-term missing people and approximately 330 unidentified bodies or human remains cases, with just over 100 unidentified bodies or partial human remains physically on hand with NSW Health,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Bennett said.

“In a joint-agency project between the NSW Police Force and forensic and scientific experts from NSW Health Pathology on the Human Skeletal Remains Initiative (HSRI) – Direct DNA profiles for all unidentified bodies and human remains on hand have been developed.

“Due to passage of time, there is very limited opportunity for investigators to gather Direct DNA for historical long-term missing persons.

“The objective now is to collect familial DNA from the relatives of missing

persons across the country to facilitate further inquiries and in the hopes of matching these samples, locate loved ones and provide answers to families,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Bennett said.

To facilitate the collection of familial DNA, MPR investigators will launch a pilot program on the state’s Mid North Coast to gather DNA samples from biological relatives of missing people across Australia.

The program will include the establishment of two pop-up centres at Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie to capture samples and other data required for upload to the National Missing Persons Victim System database.

Familial DNA samples will be uploaded into the Volunteer Limited Purpose Index (VOLMPU), where they will be searched against the Unidentified Bodies Index.

At the same time, interviews will be conducted with family

members to capture further information that may assist investigators.

Missing Persons Registry Commander, Detective Inspector Glen Browne, said the success of the pilot program will be heavily dependent on the collection of familial DNA samples from the families of long-term missing persons.

“The NSW Police Force recognises the devastating impact that missing persons have on family, friends and the wider community and, as part of our ongoing commitment to providing answers, are now trialling a new program to identify possible familial links,” Det Insp Browne said.

“Our investigators work collaboratively with partner agencies including NSW Health, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), to identify any possible investigative leads or DNA matches.

Dorrigo Soldier Remounted

“To further missing persons investigations across Australia, we are calling on relatives of any missing person across the country, who resides on or near the NSW Mid North Coast, to consider coming forward and providing a DNA sample.

“The team at the Missing Persons Registry are determined to identify these remains and ensure they are safely returned to loved ones so they may finally be farewelled and put to rest,” Det Insp Browne said.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott said the NSW Police Force is determined to find answers for as many families as possible.

“I would encourage anyone who is looking for answers after the disappearance of a family member to come forward and potentially find closure,” Mr Elliott said.

“Every one of the longterm missing people has loved

ones who have been seriously impacted by their loss and it is crucial that we do everything in our power to ease their pain.”

Familial DNA samples are provided via buccal swab and are only compared against missing persons databases in Australia.

Details of the trial MPR DNA collection centres on the NSW Mid North Coast – LOCATION (1): Cavanbah Centre Village Meeting Rooms 1 & 2, 191 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour DATES: Mon 8 February 2021 & Tues 9 February 2021 TIME: 10.00am – 7.00pm LOCATION (2): Historic Court House 35 Hay Street, Port Macquarie DATES: Thurs 11 February 2021 & Fri 12 February 2021 TIME: 10.00am – 7.00pm

On Wednesday this week the Dorrigo Plinth soldier was remounted with many locals attending the historic event mason completes his work LOCALS may remember the war memorial – a six metre high statue of a WWI soldier that has kept watch over the town for 98 years, was struck last year in May. State Government ministers and the NSW Branch of the RSL worked hard to deliver on their promise to have the monument restored in time for Anzac Day 2021.

Bob Denner, Secretary of the Dorrigo RSL Sub Branch was delighted that the soldier was re-mounted on the plinth in the new roundabout on Waterfall Way on the morning of

February 3.

Georgia Frogley, President of the Dorrigo Historical Society put a callout to locals to line the streets and bring hats, chairs and friends as the town’s residents watched their soldier be returned to looking over the town from its central location.

“Well done Bellingen Shire Council Assets Manager Oliver Baumann for coordinating this with Bob Denner and members of the Sub Branch,” she said.

She added, “Names of the soldiers from Dorrigo and district who made the 'ultimate sacrifice' will be added when the monumental

in readiness for ANZAC Day this year.”

The Historical Society had another task successfully ticked off their to-do list, which was to increase their membership to one hundred.

Ms Frogley told News Of The Area, “Our 'monumental task' was to get one hundred new members of our Dorrigo Historical Society by ANZAC Day 2021 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of when the soldier was first erected by and on behalf of the citizens of Dorrigo.

“Thanks to the efforts of many we achieved that on Christmas Eve 2020,” Ms Frogley said.

CHY FM moves forward with a bold new look

By David TUNE 104.1 CHY FM was started by local Salvation Army Pastor, John Townsend in December 1973 with a goal of creating suitable opportunities and activities that would help develop life and communication skills and engagement for regional youth and give them a voice in

their community.

Station Manager Angie Vaughan took up the reins some eighteen months ago and has proceeded to draw on her extensive experience to revamp the station and bring it up to date.

“A lot of what was here when I arrived is now obsolete and we are planning to update almost everything.

“The pandemic has had an extremely negative effect on our plans, as we were unable to have our young

presenters on air, and most of our sponsorship base had to rationalise their spending.”

However, Angie has connected with her network of industry professionals to redesign the station's systems, procedures, and training programs to bring it into line with today’s radio industry expectations.

104.1 CHY FM mission is to Entertain, Inspire, Inform, Educate, and was formed to give a voice to the youth of the Coffs Harbour area, and to bring back the excitement, passion, expression, energy, personality, and exuberance to radio in the region.

15-year-old boy caught drink driving on Hogbin Drive BETWEEN 12.01am Friday, 22 January 2021 and 11.59pm on Tuesday 26 January 2021, officers from Traffic and Highway Patrol Command with assistance from Police Area Commands and Police Districts conducted Operation Australia 2021 across NSW. About 7.10am on Tuesday 26 January 2021, Traffic

and Highway Patrol officers were conducting stationary random breath testing on Hogbin Drive, Coffs Harbour, when they stopped a Hyundai and spoke with the driver, a 15-year-old boy.

He allegedly returned a positive breath test before being taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station, where a

subsequent breath analysis returned a reading of 0.054.

The boy was charged with low-range drink driving, and driving without licence.

Following the operation, Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Stephen Hegarty, said it’s encouraging to see motorists concerned for the safety of others by reporting dangerous driving to police.

“As part of our Four Ds campaign, we’ve been urging

all road users to report drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving, when safe to do so,” said Acting Assistant Commissioner Hegarty.

“In this instance, the actions of the motorist have helped keep the community safe during the Operation Australia Day 2021 period.”

During the operation, motorists faced double demerit points for speeding, mobile phone, motorcycle

helmet and seatbelt offences.

Across the state, Police conducted more than 96,000 breath tests, with more than 300 drivers charged with drink driving.

In addition to the drinkdriving charges, 386 people returned positive results for drug-driving. More than 9200 people were fined for other traffic offences, including not wearing a seatbelt and speeding.

“While the poor

behaviour of some drivers is disappointing, we’re overall encouraged by the behaviour of the vast majority of drivers over operation,” said Acting Assistant Commissioner Hegarty.

“Sadly, three people lost their lives on NSW roads over this period.

“We continue to work hard in improving road safety for all road users across our State,” said Mr Hegarty.

Under the Masterplan for the reserve, the carpark area will eventually be renewed to include formalised spaces including designated spaces for people with disabilities.

A turning area is also part of the design to improve traffic flow, as well as a bike path for safe and easy cycling access to the beach and reserve.

Lifesavers will use a portable observation post until funds are available to construct a planned covered viewing deck, which will also be available for use by the general public.

Council’s current Woolgoolga Beach Reserve Masterplan contains concept

designs created from the community consultation previously undertaken in the development of the Masterplan.

The Masterplan includes lawns with shade trees, paths and beach access points for people of all abilities and space for temporary events, leisure activities and play.

Once funding becomes available, the community will be given the opportunity to help further develop the final design for the northern end of the reserve.

To view the current Woolgoolga Beach Reserve Masterplan visit Council’s website at www.coffsharbour. nsw.gov.au.

Woolgoolga Beach Reserve upgrade takes shape q The concept design for the Woolgoolga Beach Reserve Masterplan for the northern section of the reserve.

By Emma DARBIN

FOLLOWING the completion of the popular new playground at Woolgoolga Beach Reserve, work is now continuing on additional new features at the reserve to transform it into an attractive and welcoming public space which enhances Woolgoolga’s relaxed seaside character.

Coffs Harbour City Council Sustainable Infrastructure Director Mick Raby said the new playground at the reserve

has received rave reviews from visitors of all ages.

“The upgrade as a whole is a very exciting project and the reserve is an important landmark, attracting visitors and locals to Woolgoolga and contributing hugely to the local economy, so it’s very good to have such a positive response so far,” Mr Raby said.

As part of the upgrade works, the informal parking area for the former Woolgoolga Surf Lifesaving Club building was fenced off on Monday 1 February.

Visitors to the area can

still park in the adjacent public parking area in Hofmeier Close.

The closure of the informal parking area relates to the demolition of the old Woolgoolga Surf Lifesaving Club building, which the Club’s contractors started pulling down on 1 February.

The demolition, which includes the removal of asbestos by specialist contractors, will take around three weeks to complete.

Following the building’s demolition, the area will be graded and turfed to create an open community lawn area.

Defence Tender Delivery

By Sandra MOON

LOCAL business TacMed Australia, has partnered with TEAM LYNX and Rheinmetall Defence Australia (RDA) to deliver three LYNX KF41 vehicles to the Australian Army for the Land 400 Phase 3 Risk Mitigation Activity trials.

The LYNX KF 41 Ambulance Variant will be offered in RDA’s tender submission for the Commonwealth of Australia’s $18.1 -27.1 billion Land 400 Phase 3 program.

TacMed, an emergency medical company that develops equipment, training and consulting solutions for high risk organisations and environments, has joined Team LYNX following the Commonwealth’s Australian Industry Capability roadshow in the first half of 2020.

This has opened the way for the veteran-owned company to become an industry partner in the bid to deliver the best Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) to the Australian Army under Land 400 Phase 3.

TacMed CEO Jeremy Holder said RDA selected the Coffs Harbour based company because of its unique tactical medical experience and ability to provide specialised consulting services in the design of the vital Ambulance variant to support the defense force on the battlefield.

“This is a significant partnership for TacMed Australia and it aligns

The Lynx vehicle was designed with insight from veteran knowledge.

with our mission of zero preventable deaths at the point of injury, no matter the environment.

“It cements our position as a leader in the field of critical casualty care in high-threat and complex environments,” Mr Holder said.

“With over half of our company being former serving members of the ADF, TacMed will use its experience on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to play a role in developing the next generation of Australia’s armoured vehicles to protect and save soldiers’ lives.”

Rheinmetall will deliver three LYNX vehicles to compete in RMA trials conducted in Australia from November 2020.

The extensive testing regime, considered world leading, will put vehicles through a range of trials including lethality, mobility and blast tests.

Mr Holder told News Of The Area that a successful tender outcome will mean putting the Coffs Harbour area on the map for future defence force tenders.

“It puts us on the map to play a part of these large global contracts and work with large global contractors.

"It will help us, as a small to medium business, go forward in the defence sector.”

The veteran owned company was able to bring defence needs into the design of the vehicle.

“We are excited to get back into the defence industry space.

“In the last ten or so years, eighty to ninety percent of our work has come from government agencies such as the police, parks and wildlife, the Rural Fire Service and the Department of Health,” he said.

“We do custom trauma

first aid kits and we work with organisations to figure out what the risks are and we design from the ground up what they need.”

If successful, the LYNX fleet will be manufactured in Queensland at Rheinmetall’s new Military Vehicle Centre of Excellence at Redbank, south west of Brisbane.

The signing of the Hungarian Armed Forces as the first LYNX customer also means potential export opportunities for Australia.

Online Courses added to Summer Skills program

AN expansion of fee-free Summer Skills training courses is now available for school leavers in 2021 with more online short courses on offer, as part of the NSW Government’s Skilling for Recovery initiative.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the Summer Skills program, launched in November, has expanded to include seven TAFE NSW online short courses targeting last year’s school leavers.

“In designing Summer Skills as part of Skilling for Recovery, the NSW Government has ensured the training on offer is aligned to local industry needs,” Mr Singh said.

“In addition to this, the expanded program will offer a number of new online courses starting right now through TAFE NSW. “These courses include introductory training in business and digital skills.

“We need to provide the opportunities that help school leavers find their feet in these uncertain times.

“That’s why we’re delivering practical and feefree training opportunities starting this summer rolling on in 2021.”

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said all the courses come from the $320 million committed to delivering 100,000 fee-free training places as part of the NSW Government’s contribution to the JobTrainer initiative.

Enrolments are open for Summer Skills online training in: · Cyber Concepts; · Introduction to working in the health industry; · Construction materials and Work Health and Safety; · Mental health; · Business administration skills; · Introductory to business skills; and · Digital security basics.

Full details on all available fee-free courses on offer and their eligibility as part of the NSW Summer Skills program is available at https://education. nsw.gov.au/campaigns/ summer-skills.

Plant Succession Seeds

By Sandra MOON

FARMERS, fishers and their families are talking about the upcoming podcast Propagate by the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (DPI).

The podcast features Dorrigo farmers, Renae and Scott Connell, and farmers from Mungindi, Narrabri and Geurie alongside experienced succession planners Isobel Knight, Lyn Sykes and accountant Tom Larkin.

Succession planning experts Isobel Knight, Lyn Sykes and accountant Tom Larkin understand why it’s important for farming families to tackle these tricky conversations head on.

A DPI spokesperson said, “If you’re asking – what the hell is a succession plan and why do I need one?

“This first episode

Succession Planning Nuts and Bolts with The Experts is for you.

“We’ll break down what a positive succession plan looks like, and the risks of not having one.

“For farming families, conversations about succession planning can be tough.

“The stakes are high, and it can be hard to get everyone on the same page.”

The eight part series being released on February 4 features honest and frank first hand accounts of the succession planning challenges with the intention to provide hope and encouragement for our current and future farming families.

The Young Farmer Business Program recorded Propagate across the state, talking with farmers who have been through succession or are planning for succession.

NSW DPI Young Farmer Business Program Team

www.newsofthearea.com.au q Renae and Scott Connell are based near Dorrigo and share their personal succession journey on the new podcast season of Propagate.

Leader Alex Hicks said the second season of Propagate uncovers the essential ingredients for a positive succession plan.

“Succession planning

experts share tips on communication and professional avenues for support and advice to keep family relationships and the farming business on track,”

Ms Hicks said.

“We talked to farmers with real succession experiences, they were so honest.”

Propagate is available

now with all eight episodes available to download for free via Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

University of Newcastle’s Professor Robert Ryan said the research demonstrated clearly that the Great Koala National Park would deliver a significant uplift in jobs and revenue for the MidNorth Coast region.

“Over the next 15 years the Park is projected to generate more than 9,800 extra full-time equivalent jobs across tourism, infrastructure, and science and education, and inject $330 million in additional wages into the region,” Professor Ryan said.

The employment projections estimated the phasing out of approximately 675 direct and related forestry full

time equivalent jobs over a 10-year state forest native logging industry transition period.

“The research found that the loss of jobs in the medium-term in the state forest native logging industry would be more than compensated by the creation of new jobs in the management of the national park and in ecotourism.”

The research projected that the positive impact on the tourism economy would be significant including accounting for the effects of COVID-19.

“The research estimates conservatively that the Great Koala National Park would boost the tourism sector by an additional 1 million visitors to the region by the end of 15 years who will spend $412 million,” she

said.

The University study quantified the biodiversity value of transitioning 175,000 hectares of state forests to national park using the ‘Willingness to Pay’ methodology – a wellestablished international approach used to assess the community’s willingness to pay to preserve the biodiversity for iconic sites, such as the Great Barrier Reef.

“Given the significant decline in the koala population from drought and bushfire and that we are confronting the reality of their extinction, the environmental value of each individual koala is now significantly higher than previously,” Professor Ryan said.

“The biodiversity value

of the koala is estimated to be $530 million for the NSW population and $1.7 billion for all Australians.”

The proposed Great Koala National Park spans five local government areas – Bellingen, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Kempsey and Nambucca.

The project steering group comprised the three funding partners of Bellingen Shire Council, Coffs Harbour City Council and Destination North Coast NSW together with the Great Koala National Park project principal.

The Great Koala National Park economic impact assessment and environmental benefit analysis is available at www. hrf.com.au/gknp, and is live from 6am 2 February 2021.

Koala Conservation Forecasts $1.2 Billion Regional Return A LANDMARK study into Australia’s proposed first large national park dedicated to protecting koalas has projected additional regional economic output of $1.2 billion over the next 15 years and $1.7 billion in biodiversity value.

According to University of Newcastle research, the proposed Great Koala National Park (GKNP) would add 175,000 hectares of native state forests to existing protected areas and establish a 315,000-hectare reserve on the NSW Mid North Coast.

The site, which includes two koala metapopulations, would protect an area that is home to around 20 percent

of the NSW koala population habitat and that is great news according to Bellingen Shire Council Mayor, Cr King.

Cr King said the independent report provided the final missing piece of the puzzle as it supported our Shire’s continued efforts to establish a sustainable koala population within the Shire’s state forests and the greater region. “The establishment of a GKNP in our region would deliver the best possible outcomes for our local environment and economy by creating a tourism asset that would attract additional investment and economic growth to our region.”

Vale James William Hall

By David TUNE ON Sunday 24 January popular local James Hall, aged 35, succumbed to cancer after a long fight.

His passing will be felt deeply by many people, particularly in the local theatre community where James was widely known and loved.

A proud Woolgoolga resident, James will also be sorely missed at his workplace at the Seaview Tavern.

James lived with Asperger Syndrome, and forged an impressive body of work as an actor and singer in community theatre on the Coffs Coast, appearing on stage in fifteen productions starting in 2010 with a role in CHATS Productions ‘The Flying Pieman’.

In his first musical, CHMCC’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar, he played the role of the disciple Peter and amazed his castmates by knowing the dialogue of all the other characters in the show and was able to stand in seamlessly for the major role of Judas at a number of rehearsals.

Working across most of the local community theatre companies over ten years

www.newsofthearea.com.au q James Hall in some of his many roles on stage at the Jetty memorial Theatre. Photo: supplied.

some of his major roles included playing both Harold the Blind Hermit and Inspector Kemp in CHMCC’s 2013 Australian premiere production of Mel Brook’s comedy musical ‘Young Frankenstein’, and Danny Zuko in the completely sold out Arts Council production of ‘Grease’ directed by James’s long time mentor Pat Slattery in 2016.

James versatility as an actor allowed him to excel in comedy, musicals and drama including roles in Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ (CHATS 2012) and ‘MacBeth’ (Arts Council 2015), ‘Allo, Allo’ (Arts Council 2015), ‘Rent’ (CHMCC 2011) and ‘Calendar Girls’ (CHATS 2018).

As well as performing, James was highly successful as a competitive swimmer, at one stage holding the National Record for men’s S14 50m and 200m Breaststroke and trailed for place in the Paralympics.

A private memorial will be held at the Jetty Memorial Theatre on Friday 5 February to celebrate the life of this remarkable young man, taken from our community too soon.

Melbourne to Cairns on a skateboard

By Monika KOZLOVSKIS

WHEN some people dream, they dream big.

Tom Drury, aka Gordy Aboard, a 28-year-old from Broken Hill, is helping fund a skatepark in Laos by becoming the first person in the world to skateboard up the East coast of Australia, from Melbourne to Cairns.

Gordy is travelling solo, carrying only what he can fit in his backpack.

“I’ve had to rethink what I carry, and had to get rid of my camera equipment and extra clothes,” he said.

He embarked on this monumental journey to raise money for non-profit organisation Make Life Skate Life (MLSL), which has built skateparks all over the world in countries including India, Peru and Brazil and provides free classes and equipment to young people including girls, refugees and others from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Gordy told News Of The Area, “While I was working as a tour guide and teaching English in Laos I discovered it was the only country in South-East Asia without a skatepark.

“Skateboarding is making its Olympic debut this year, and it would really give those

kids something to strive for.”

He said that MLSL has already purchased the land in Laos and it’s estimated that materials to build a decent skatepark and facilities, using volunteer labour, will cost around $25,000.

“So far I’ve raised almost $8,000,” Gordy said.

“I’m paying my own way, so all donations are going towards the skatepark.”

“I’ve been blown away by the generosity and kindness of strangers offering me places to stay.”

“I wasn’t expecting to be able to do so much couch surfing, and I’ve met a lot of great people along the way.”

Gordy plans to replace his board’s wheel bearings at his halfway point, Brisbane, and though the wheels have held out, he hasn’t been so fortunate with his shoes.

“I have to buy a new pair every two weeks because my right pushing shoe wears out.”

After completing a mindboggling 1,700 km of this epic journey Gordy took a short break in Coffs Harbour.

“I’m feeling pretty good, even though some days are exhausting and I almost quit on the second day out, but

you can’t just sit at the side of the road and cry, you have to keep on going.”

“So many people said it’s crazy, you can’t do it, but I’ve found our souls are just capable of so much more than our heads are telling us,” he said.

“You don’t have to be crazy to achieve things, you just need a positive attitude.”

Gordy revealed that he hasn’t lost as much weight as he expected to.

“After a hard day I just feel like a few beers and a burger.”

At this stage Gordy plans to reach Cairns by mid-April, aiming for 1,000 km per month.

“Someone said I should auction my skateboard off once I get there, but maybe that sounds a bit vain – not sure anyone would care,” he said.

However, he’s not short of fans, such as 10-year-old Louis Tyacke, who he made time to catch up with at a Coffs Harbour skatepark.

Louis’s mother Christina said, “Louis has gained so much confidence and energy since taking up skateboarding.”

“After finding out about Gordy, he wanted to contribute in his own way so I set up a little piggyback fundraiser onto Gordy’s.”

“I know it’s only a drop in the ocean compared to his effort but Louis has been working on his mileages all summer and has built up to 21 km, aiming for 100.”

After the much-anticipated meeting, a happy Louis said, "It was really awesome to meet Gordy, to be able to skate with him and ask him about his journey.

“I'm really excited to hear when he reaches Cairns and when the kids in Laos have their very first skate park.”

Christina added, "We've seen firsthand the wide-ranging benefits of our local skatepark for Louis, not just for exercise but also mentally and socially.

“It's also a fabulous space for art and choreography.

“We can't wait to see the youth in

Laos reap the same skating benefits we are so fortunate to have in Coffs Harbour, and thank those who have so generously donated already."

Qld border reopens to NSW residents

By Emma DARBIN

THE Queensland border finally opened to all NSW residents on Monday 1 February after Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s surprise announcement last week of the border’s reopening.

Local residents will no longer have to complete a Border Declaration Pass to enter Queensland, following the announcement that the border will reopen to Sydney residents.

The Queensland border was closed to Greater Sydney residents just before Christmas after two Coronavirus clusters on the Northern Beaches and Berala broke out.

The Border Restrictions Direction 1 commenced on 22 December 2020 and required a person entering Queensland who had been in NSW after 11 December to apply for and receive a Queensland Border Declaration Pass and present it upon arrival in Queensland.

The border reopening came after NSW recorded ten consecutive days of no community transmission of COVID-19.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said it was really good to see the Queensland border open again.

CHH

The Queensland border finally opened to all NSW residents on Monday 1 February after Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s surprise announcement last week of the border’s reopening.

“We have always relied on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer.

“They have never recommended that the QLD state border needed to be closed,” Mr Hogan stressed.

“It's great to see it open again, the massive disruption it has caused is no longer.”

An easing of COVID-19 restrictions has also been announced in NSW with residents now allowed to have 30 guests at their homes, and no cap on the number of people allowed in hospitality venues, in places of worship and at corporate events.

However, the one person per four square metre rule will still apply.

Up to 50 people can now gather in groups outdoors such as picnics, and weddings

can accommodate up to 300 guests, with the one person per four square metre rule still applying, and only twenty nominated people in the wedding party can dance on the dance floor.

Masks must be worn on public transport and in places of worship.

Hairdressers, beauticians, health workers and front of house hospitality staff must wear face masks.

Local musicians are a big hit at open mic

By David WIGLEY LOCAL musicians showcased their talent at open mic night and they were a big hit with music lovers at Red-C Events on the Jordan Esplanade.

Six local bands and six solo acts aged from fifteen to over sixty played a broad range of music from rock ballads of the 70s, 80s, 90s, Jazz, Blues, Country Rock and original songs.

House band ‘Pleasing George’ opened the stage with a repertoire of rock and blues classics from Cream, Muddy Waters and BB King and then handed the stage over to the emerging talent who played twenty minute sets to an enthusiastic audience.

‘Ted Danson’s Forehead’ brought the house down with their rendition of ‘Free Fallin’ as Jacob Fitzpatrick sang the notes and stroked the keyboard like a young Elton John whilst Gal Reilly played the drums with a ferocity and finesse that captivated the

‘Minus in the Basement’ are a quartet of fifteen year old school friends who closed out the show with their own original songs and left the crowd asking for more.

‘Pleasing George’ frontman, George Wilson provided some background on the appeal of open mic and how it started.

“I moved here two years

ago and noticed the Coffs Coast needs more music venues for emerging talent so I approached Red-C and they were really supportive,” said George.

“That was over a year ago, it was really slow at first but now we get 150 to 200 people every week and this week we have six local bands and six solo acts playing.

“It’s about giving local

musicians an opportunity to showcase their talent,” explained George.

“For example, Minus in the Basement are four 15 year old lads who write their own music so they get a chance to play a live gig and they were a big hit closing out tonight’s show, Ted Danson’s Forehead ooze raw talent and they are an up and coming band,” said George.

The goal at Allegra School Coffs Harbour is to provide learning for young people that empowers them to reach their potential in an inclusive and supportive environment. Under the guidance of Principal Erin Caceda and Head Teacher, Jo Paix, the staff work collaboratively to build resilience within the students enabling them to work autonomously to become effective

members of society.

We have been listening to the feedback from the Coffs community over the last few years and we have built a space that caters to each of the student’s individual needs. We keep our classes small, at a maximum of 14 students per class, and have some amazing Learning Support Officers who work intensively with the students to reach their personal and academic goals.

Student Support Officer Danielle Coleman has been working with Coffs Harbour youth for over a decade and she says that “it’s imperative that we adapt to the needs of the young people that come through our doors. The school is successful because those students want to be here, and are willing to work with us to create a learning environment that caters, not only to their academic needs, but by safe guarding their emotional wellbeing too”.

400 submissions lodged for Woolgoolga Whale Trail

By Ray WILLING, President Northern Beaches Residents Association (NBRA) and Tony ROSS, President Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Chamber of Commerce.

THE Northern Beaches Residents Association (NBRA) and Northern Beaches Chamber of Commerce are very pleased to advise that over 400 submissions have been lodged for an ICONIC and SAFE Whale Trail.

We sought responses from the Community, visitors and tourists alike; happy to have their say.

We gathered submissions in the Woolgoolga CBD and Beach Reserve. Overall Safety is an incredibly

important issue at the Carrington and Pollack junction.

The Whale Trail walkway should go through the vegetation for a short distance to ensure maximum pedestrian safety at this point. (Please see the Diagrams following).

Please refer to the BLUE LINE in Diagram 1 at this intersection.

Council needs to make sure that this corner is made safe for all users.

Diagram 1 shows an orange circle where stairs are proposed and in due course access ramps are proposed for those who are disabled and with prams etc.

This will leave this tight section without greenery, encroach upon the beach area and in effect be full

of structures including concrete.

It is ugly and impractical.

It would be far cheaper, environmentally friendlier and more practical to have the access point to the Whale Trail by a gradually sloping path from Ocean Street along the western side of Carrington Street (eastern side of Surf Club).

The NBRA has had experts check the feasibility of this.

In short it can be done with relative ease.

The large majority of people prefer the pathway shown by the BLUE LINE as the Whale Trail.

This is as shown in each of the Diagrams.

The consensus is that Council’s funds (and not those from Kevin Hogan) should be used to build a footpath for the car park in Pollack Esplanade. q

Purchasing in the property market boom PENNY wants to relocate from Sydney to Coffs Harbour.

She places her Sydney home on the market and researches Coffs Harbour properties.

Penny soon realises that homes in Coffs Harbour are selling quickly and that when she finds the right house, she will need to be in a position to exchange contracts as soon as possible.

Penny finds a buyer for her Sydney home and exchanges contracts with an extended settlement period, so that she can find the right property in Coffs Harbour.

Penny also contacts her bank to obtain pre approval regarding the financing of her new home.

Penny drives to Coffs Harbour and finds the perfect home at a Saturday morning “open house”.

She is very keen on securing the property and exchanges contracts later that day at the real estate agent’s office.

She exchanges contracts on the basis that she has a five business day cooling-off period, which means that if she changes her mind during this time, she will only forfeit 0.25% of the agreed price, which in her case was around $1,000.

Penny immediately contacts a solicitor with experience in the Coffs Harbour area and commissions pest and building reports.

The solicitor examines the contract and obtains a copy of the council file, with a view to identifying any unauthorised works.

The solicitor identifies some problematic clauses in the contract, which the vendor’s solicitor agrees to remove and an appropriate settlement date is agreed upon.

Unfortunately, there is some delay in obtaining finance approval from Penny’s bank, but her solicitor successfully negotiates an extension of the cooling-off period and approval is received shortly thereafter.

Penny pays the balance of the 10% deposit and is very happy that she has secured her sea-change property.

DEAR Jasminda,

My daughter wants to join the school choir, but her voice could raise the dead. She's loud and tuneless. How do we let her down gently?

Mr Kevin W. Dear Kevin,

Let down by GHD-led discussion groups DEAR News Of The Area, DAVID Jeffery’s letter (Coffs Harbour Jetty, p25, January 29 Edition) expressed everything I have been fuming about since I was involved in the GHD-led discussion groups in 2017.

ON 21 and 22 January, a group of trees were removed from a property in Toormina as part of a multi-dwelling housing development for Mission Australia Housing approved by Coffs Harbour Council.

Some of these magnificent trees would have existed before the creation of Toormina but I am assured by Council that their removal was necessary due to the approved application.

Upon enquiry, Council seemed to be ignorant of the existence of flooding on Lalaguli Drive (the mentioned block

How seriously they all seemed to be taking it, we thought some notice would be paid to the outcome of the discussion groups.

But only silence has ensued.

The Council seems to think that the citizens

of Coffs Harbour see all development - including the destruction of the foreshores - as akin to mother’s milk: nothing but good.

How they underestimate us.

Yours faithfully, Pamela DONOVAN.

thongs, abandoned beach towels, glass bottles, nappies, straws and so on.

I only picked up litter under or near the Jetty pier as that is the beach access point I use.

Let's say each day I picked up three pieces of litter, over 30 days that is 90 pieces, with a potential weight of say 5 kgs.

Take 3 for the Sea is one advertising campaign.

I think they need to increase that to Take 10 or the environment will never be the same again!

I picked this litter up right in front of other beach goers sitting around and under the Jetty pier.

Nobody blinked an

eyelid.

It’s as if litter is just one of the expected items to be seen on a lovely beach along with seaweed and shells.

I am not saying the people sitting there left the litter, but someone did and it has to be someone who used the beach, how else did it get there?

Sadly yes it's me whingeing at an age old problem that is a mix of selfishness, ignorance and disregard for the environment.

I can only conclude that the average Australian doesn't REALLY care about the oceans or beaches because this litter is left by Australians.

Who else can be doing it in a Covid-19 lockdown of borders?

Regards, Cyril WOOD, Coffs Harbour.

Litter - we need a better solution DEAR News Of The Area,

FOR over 11 years I have used Jetty Beach to swim, walk and unwind appreciating the unspoilt beauty of the area.

What I have observed during this period is that during any school holiday, public holiday or hot sunny weekend the litter left on the beach increases.

During winter, nonholidays there is very little.

This summer I was in Coffs Harbour for the whole holiday period and each day I attended the beach I collected a handful of litter.

The types of litter included paper ice cream cups, plastic drink cups, water bottles,

stretches between Sawtell Road and Lalaguli Drive) which occurred two weeks ago and in February 2020.

The Council representative's response suggested that, “Maybe drainage would be improved.”

Such flooding, along with increased traffic and parking, will only increase as a result of the development.

It was ironic to see the tree-fellers parking their vehicles under the shade of

30 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

the trees on the opposite side of Lalaguli Drive as they removed the trees on the mentioned block of land.

Any hope of replacement tree-planting and improved drainage?

I'm not confident based on a past promise to replace a street tree that was removed by Council from directly outside my property on Lalaguli Drive about two and half years ago.

Regards, Bob TREMAYNE.

AT the start of the school year, suburbia bursts with the sound of screeching violins, vocal calisthenics, terrible recorder renditions of London's Burning, and tuneless trumpet attempts of Skip to My Lou, which must be the most boring song of all time.

I'm blaming over-zealous band and music teachers with their misguided advice that everyone is musical if you give them a chance.

Tell that to Milli Vanilli.

Tell that to all those failed attempts on Australia's Got Talent, but Not This Week.

How many of us have sat through school concerts with the lead role performed by a kid who was selected because his mum sits on the P&C and gives great end-of-year Christmas presents.

Don't let little Sarah be fooled, Kevin.

It will just lead to a lifetime of disappointment for her and at least 12 years of hell for you.

Is she sporty?

Is she artistic?

These are extra-curricular activities that are a lot easier on the ear and probably the wallet, given you will have to pay for supplementary voice coaching.

One of my daughter's friends was told she could sing, and every car trip was a nightmare as she warbled and trilled her way from Port Stephens to Newcastle thinking she sounded like Mariah Carey when the reality was closer to the Eastern Screech Owl. Turning up the radio didn't help.

She knew the words to everything.

Should that be encouraged?

Go with your gut, Kevin.

Perhaps let your daughter research the average earnings of musical entertainers and then give her a golf club or a tennis racquet.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Times gone by go

Lighting up the Coast: Lighthouse in Limbo (Part 1)

By Karen FILEWOOD CONCERNS were raised as early as 1857 regarding the absence of any lighting along the coastline for the increasing coastal shipping, especially at the Solitary Islands, which were considered the most dangerous part of the coast between the Hunter River and the Great Barrier Reef.

A select parliamentary committee was formed in 1863 to investigate and report on lighthouses for this length of the coast and after a comprehensive survey was completed by the Admiralty around the islands in 1864, the NSW Legislative Council recommended a lighthouse be built on the site.

This action triggered much debate on the exact location of the lighthouse the options being the North and South Solitary Islands and the mainland the main issues being visibility and accessibility.

The NSW Parliament had sent the report to the Queensland government in 1864 but did not receive a reply until 1866 which stated they could not act on the matter, but it would be considered.

Several years passed, interspersed with newspaper articles by both editors and letter writers, who pointedly reminded the population of the need for lighthouses along the isolated 400 mile stretch of coast.

In 1870 the subject publicly presented itself again when the annual government estimates were published.

The estimates allowed £4000 for a lighthouse at Solitary Islands, however the following year this item had been removed.

To be continued...

News Of The Area

Nightmare on Gordon Street DEAR News Of The Area,

NOW that the airport has been given away, oops, I mean leased, I wonder how much future income ratepayers will miss out on? ..100%? ...200%?

The company leasing it has done it's due diligence and isn't leasing it out of kindness.

There's possibly good money to be made.

How soon before more flights are approved, parking fees, other charges increased and flight times expanded.. sorry for the ones in the flight path?

At least the cafe and hire car companies will profit from increased passenger numbers.

Check out Coolangatta Airport's recent growth and the cost of parking.

If the Coffs CEX's new 13 storey CBD building is going to cost about $44 million, the really BIG one behind the Plaza $100 million, how come our diminutive Cultural

Centre and Council office is $76 million?

It doesn't add up... gold plated toilets and fittings?

One suggestion is why can't the $25 million upfront fast track our new tip (the old tip has exceeded the allowable height apparently) rather than pay to transport it to Tamworth and pay them to take it.

I suppose no photo opportunities in that and a bit more ratepayers money wasted.

Wasn't a new tip scheduled for Eastbank road with EIS approvals in hand?

The Mayor announced $200,000 for studies into the entertainment Centre to seat around 600 people.

What happened to all the studies, consultations and plans for City Hill and lately the Cultural Centre encompassing an Entertainment centre?

Council is ignoring the majority and spending big.

If we had a decent entertainment

centre at City Hill we could possibly have lots more seating. The Hoey Moey can hold 600!

If we want the big name's here we need better.

At least Tourists driving around the CBD looking for a parking spot won't see Migallo (the White Whale) but they may spot a White Elephant!

It's a pity the Council won't release a list of Council assets they are selling and the total cost of each, how much they have spent on them, grants included, and how much they are going to sell them for.

Will the losses give us all heart attacks?

And how long before they have to lease back more office space because the nightmare White Elephant is too small?

Regards, Ivan WILLIAMS, Coffs Harbour.

Trees, Carbon and Trees and Stress Hot air DEAR News Of The Area, NOTA readers and letter writers, DID you see the recent letters between W Duesbury and Bruce Meder regarding trees and carbon levels?

It sounds like it’s getting a bit hot under the collar.

It’s great to see these issues being debated but I’m not sure that haggling over the details is very useful.

It seems so easy for letters to get personal.

So I’d like to invite both correspondents to an in-person conversation at my place.

I believe it’s important that instead of just disagreeing at a distance that we actually meet those we disagree with in person to try to understand each other.

That’s one the reason I joined Voices 4 Cowper, to create a space

for different points of view to meet and listen to each other.

This strengthens democracy and community and helps us find points of agreement as well, eg both want more trees.

We run Kitchen Table Conversations where anyone can share their views about what’s important, political representation and issues of concern.

Simple ground rules ensure a safe space for all.

You can even host your own KTC. Responses will be collated and presented to our community and our local federal member of parliament.

So here’s a special invitation to the readers and letter writers of News Of The Area.

Respectful contrarians welcome.

You can find out more or contact us at www.voices4cowper.org.

Regards, James TONSON, Voices 4 Cowper, Coffs Jetty.

DEAR News Of The Area FIRST, to W Duesbury, my apologies.

The last sentence of my previous letter (suggesting a return to school) was uncalled for, and I apologise.

As you have reminded us; from the best we know, atmospheric carbon levels were very high during the Cambrian (540 - 490 million years ago (mya)) through to the late Devonian (420 - 360 mya).

Trees, however, did not emerge until around 360 mya, at a time when carbon levels in the atmosphere were plummeting.

Flowering plants did not emerge until the Cretaceous period (approximately 100 mya), again when carbon levels were decreasing.

More CO2 in the atmosphere does not appear to be the prime agent for plant nourishment. Water is also necessary, and if trees are suffering water stress then more CO2 will not be sufficient to allow them to flourish.

Here is just one non-anonymous piece of research - Chaves and Pereira "Water Stress, CO2 and Climate Change" Journal of Experimental Botany, August 1992.

Regards, Bruce MEDER, Coffs Harbour.

Move the railway line west of the bypass DEAR News Of The Area,

THE Jetty Foreshore and Jordan Esplanade are the gems of what is quintessentially Coffs Harbour for locals and tourists alike.

However the current arrangement of interstate freight trains running 24/7 through this recreational precinct needs to be reviewed as part of the medium and longer term traffic planning for our region.

Given that in a few years the Pacific Motorway will bypass Coffs Harbour we need to consider the regional road and rail freight infrastructure of our City.

If the railway was moved to a new heavy industrial area west of the Pacific Bypass it could be better integrated into the broader regional freight plan by NSW for regional freight.

It’s significant to note that the existing

Lindsay’s interstate trucking terminal is already west of the Bypass at Boambee.

If we could open up the existing rail reserve along Jordan Esplanade and make it available for the community and public development this would provide a significant boost to the amenity of our jetty, beach and harbour parks.

The removal of the existing level crossing freight and passenger train hazard

at Harbour Drive is already well overdue.

The current passenger railway station at Jordan Esplanade probably would have to be moved if the line was shifted. But connections with a new passenger station could be made for all our communities up and down the Coffs Coast.

Regards, Greg NORTHOVER, Toormina.

56 Joeliza Drive, Repton Price: $780,000-$790,000 Open For Inspection: Saturday 6 February, 10.00am-10.30am

THIS big, private residence has been home to the same family for about 18 years and is being offered for sale for the first time.

Those wanting to stretch out, work from home or those with larger families will love the flexible floor plan, as will people who want rural-style living with easy, level access and room to breathe (or space to keep extra vehicles, boats, camper trailers etc).

Positioned on the block to take advantage of both the sunlight and the tranquil, towering gums, the home also has wide wrap-around verandahs, which really suit

the Aussie bush lifestyle.

Entry is into the spacious open plan living area, which fits a large lounge suite and square eight-seater dining table with ease.

There's also a Eureka wood fire.

The adjoining galley kitchen with walk-in-pantry has a lovely aspect out to the gardens and there's a family room beyond to set up a kids' play area or perhaps a homework station, to supervise the kids while you're preparing dinner.

Those who work from home will love the fact the fifth bedroom is just beyond this space, allowing the ideal office zone while keeping the other bedrooms more private (the family bathroom is conveniently also on this level).

While not having to share a bedroom is bound to keep the kids of bigger families happy, the parents haven't been forgotten either, with a serene retreat upstairs.

A bay-style window is the ideal spot to enjoy the tranquil tree-lined outlook, and there's a deck off here large enough for a bistro setting for your morning cup of tea.

An ensuite and walk-inrobe complete the picture.

Back downstairs and a spacious covered outdoor entertaining area is perfect for barbecues or entertaining friends, and the largely gravel driveway to the double lock up garage provides easy access to this area and beyond.

Bring your van, trailer and

PROPERTYWeek

perhaps kayaks for Sunday morning trips down to the Bellinger River at Mylestom.

The requisite tanks and garden storage sheds in this area mean you don't need to clutter the garage, there are two drinking water tanks

of approximately 24,500 litres (6,500 gallons) and approximately 32,500 litres (8,500 gallons) along with a third tank for watering the garden which also has a fire pump.

Go for a stroll down the

Your NO 1 Rural Specialist

block (or drive your ride-on mower) beyond the bush and out into another open paddock at the rear.

You're bound to be surprised.

There's a lot more easily accessible space than you might imagine.

Designed to suit the block, this home still has plenty of scope to add your own personal touches, or simply move in, stretch out and enjoy the easy family living as is!

HARROW

ABC, 8.30pm

The clever casting crew behind this crime-drama did an excellent job of nabbing British heartthrob Ioan Gruffudd to play the lead. Sometimes you just need a wildcard to be the point of difference among all the other crime-dramas out there (and let’s face it, his smile doesn’t hurt, either). Not that you’ll see much smiling in this season three return as Dr Daniel Harrow (Gruffudd) investigates the death of a young man who claimed to be his son. The news shocks those close to him, but Harrow is pushed to reveal a chapter of his past. But just like in many of the cases his team investigate,

After watching the first few episodes of this mad dash around the country, you may find yourself in two camps: 1. You are inspired to plan an action-packed (albeit, local) adventure.

2. You’re tired just thinking about it. Now in its fifth season, <i>The Amazing Race Australia</i> has brought together a pretty diverse bunch of travellers who are all keen to get their hands on the $250,000 prize. They are all energetic, sure, but tonight, they are going to need more than just get up and go to get through a round that leaves some scratching their heads at the cryptic clues and treasure map left in a bottle.

MICHAEL PALIN: TRAVELS OF A LIFETIME

SBS, 8.30pm

Michael Palin (right) – who will forever and always be referred to as ‘ex-Monty Python comic Michael Palin’ – took a chance on a ground-breaking travel series that changed both his life and the way travel shows have been presented since. In a nod to Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, Palin accepted the challenge of following that novel’s route around the globe and we get to join him for a look back at that journey. Tonight’s premiere begins in London before taking in the stinky side of Venice and ending in Egypt. Some big name fans, friends and fellow travellers – Sir David Attenborough and Joanna Lumley – reflect on his achievements, too.

Coffs Harbour Golf Club ranked number 89 in country

q Coffs Harbour Golf Club is fast climbing the list of the best golf courses in Australia. Photo: Bryce Forrest Media.

IN a first for the Coffs Harbour Golf Club, it has been named in Golf Australia magazine’s list of the top 100 public access courses in the country.

The 27-hole layout was named at No.89 on the list.

The club’s general manager, Paul McAra, said the reaction among members to the news has been one of pride.

“Obviously the club is ecstatic with the course making its way into the Top 100 list,” McAra said.

“It reinforces after the Women’s NSW Open and the North Coast Open that having those professional events is putting the club on the map.”

When the list was released, the magazine included comments from a member of the judging panel about each of the 100

courses.

The comment regarding Coffs Harbour from judge Joe Thomas couldn’t have been more effusive.

“This is easily the best country course I have ever played,” Thomas said.

“Great greens, great fairways and the challenge is ever-present.”

The judge added Coffs Harbour is unlikely to be a one-hit wonder.

“Coffs Harbour has made a significant rise in this ranking and, in my opinion, it will probably climb higher as more judges discover its delights,” he said.

McAra said inclusion in the list probably isn’t a surprise to local golfers.

“It’s great that other people are now seeing what locals have known for quite a while,” he said.

Back to business for the reigning women’s champions Urunga FC

By David WIGLEY URUNGA FC have been the gold standard in women’s football on the Coffs Coast in recent years, winning the last two Grand Finals and topping the ladder.

They play an attractive brand of possession football starting from the back and working the ball through the field with precision passing and movement which is applauded by the neutrals.

The 2023 FIFA Women’s Cup in Australia has resulted

in additional funding for the women’s game and has become a hot topic of discussion on key subjects such as how to grow the game at grassroots level, pathways for elite players and the upgrade of facilities.

News Of The Area caught up with Urunga women’s coach, Trevor Martin to discuss the season ahead for last year’s champions.

“We 're looking to start our training next week to get the ball rolling ‘no pun intended’ and get an idea of how the squads will

look, it always takes a bit of time to get the word out to any newcomers but I'm expecting to see a few new faces from younger age groups wanting to step up into the women's team,” said Martin.

“Our first focus will be on getting organised for the Nambucca Challenge Cup competition where we have always done well and is another reason why we like to get started early,” said Martin.

Whilst attracting new players is a key initiative, q retention of existing players is a common challenge for teams in the region.

“An issue we face is the likelihood of players moving out of the area to pursue educational and career opportunities, we had good numbers last year and a successful campaign in both grades so I'm hopeful we'll retain a strong and talented core group going into the 2021 season, it's always a bit of an unknown and creates a challenge in maintaining the team's structure and playing style,” Martin said.

Although COVID-19 delayed the start of the Women’s 2020 season,

q Urunga have been the gold standard on the Coffs Coast winning the last two grand finals.

Teamwork from Urunga FC. football was one of the few sports which completed a full season and like everyone else Martin is looking forward to a smoother ride in 2021.

“I'm looking forward to a more normal season this year with the COVID restrictions on training and playing not being such an issue, having more clubs fielding Women's teams will add interest to the competition,” added Martin.

“I'm quietly confident Urunga will carry on where we left off last season and we'll be looking to do even better this time around, if we retain the core group I believe we will have an outstanding product going into 2021,” concluded Martin.

AFL pre-season match cancelled

q The pre-season clash fixtures to be played in Coffs Harbour between the Sydney Swans and Collingwood has been cancelled due to COVID-safety concerns.

Photo: AFL Media.

THE reduction of the preseason AFL Community Series to only one match per club is sad news for AFL supporters on the Coffs Coast.

The announcement of a new pre-season fixture on Sunday revealed that the planned clash between the Sydney Swans and Collingwood to be played at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium on 3 March will not be played.

The AFL's executive general manager of clubs and broadcasting, Travis Auld,

said the updated fixture aimed to protect the health and safety of the competition and the community by reducing travel ahead of the AFL's premiership season.

Coffs Harbour was one of several regional communities that had originally been scheduled to host pre-season games.

Other regions included Albury), Morwell (Vic), Noarlunga and Whyalla (SA) and Mandurah (WA).

Mr Auld said it's highly likely Coffs Harbour and the other affected regions won't

be overlooked in the future.

"Each of those regions play an extremely important role in our game and the decision to revise the series was made to protect the health and safety of the competition and the wider community which remains the priority for the league," he said.

"It is communities like these that are the heartbeat of Australian Football and we hope to be able to return to each of those areas and play games there in the future."

The strong contingent across all age groups meant the Swim School had the largest participation levels in the competition demonstrating the depth of talent at the Swim School.

Strong performances and personal bests rewarded the swimmers with medals and qualifying times to enter the upcoming Country and Junior State Age Championships Sydney.

Coffs Harbour Swim Club president Daniel Bannerman was delighted with the performances in Taree.

“For the kids to back

up from the local meet last weekend and to pull out the competitive racing they have has been very impressive to watch.

“The success of swimmers at such meets, rewards them for all the hard work they have been putting into training, especially over the past few months including their summer holidays, it’s exciting to see what they can do next,” said Bannerman.

Coach Eugene Brogmus was proud of all the swimmers, with podium places and personal best times achieved throughout the Gala.

“While there were many highlights from the weekend, it was the technique and race improvements by everyone that was pleasing to see,” said Brogmus.

Boardriders to contest National final in May

By Aiden BURGESS THE Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club is one of the most successful sporting clubs in the region.

They now once again take their place amongst the best boardriding clubs in Australia when they compete in the upcoming nudie Australian Boardriders Battle Series National Final at Newcastle Main Beach in May. The Coffs Boardriders Club earnt their place in the National Final by qualifying at the State qualifying event at their home break in Coffs Harbour in November.

The nudie Australian Boardriders Battle Series is the country's biggest grassroots boardriders event, involving more than 60 of Australia’s best boardrider clubs and $112,700 in prize money.

The Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club also qualified for last year’s National Final, and finished seventh in 2019.

The Coffs Harbour club

was recognised nationally with the prestigious honour of being named Boardriders club of the year for 2016, also winning the award in 2018.

They have also been previously recognised as the best sporting club on the North Coast.

Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club president Lee Winkler told News Of The Area his club was well prepared to continue on with their recent success at the National Final.

“It’s the strongest we have been in awhile and we’ve been doing really well in recent competitions,” he said.

Winkler identified a change in competition structure which may help the Coffs club in Newcastle.

“In a previous national final we won the tag team event, and now we would have won the final as the scoring is now based on tag team,” he said.

“We also finished 7th in the tag team at the last national final,” he said.

While surfing may be an individual sport, there was something special about performing as a team according to Winkler.

“It absolutely feels unreal and competing as an individual is great, but

it’s not the same as with a team,” he said.

“You feel like a unit and you support the younger kids and give them a pat on the back.

“You also discuss what we did as a team

COVID Comeback! Football to Hit Pitches in 2021 FOOTBALL is ready and raring to go in 2021 for what is planned to be the biggest season yet.

Registrations across the country opened on Monday for the 2021 season and state governing body Northern NSW Football expects the game to return bigger and better than ever despite the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic last season.

Football managed to navigate COVID-19 challenges successfully in 2020 with many players and clubs getting back on the pitch safely to complete a shortened but fun-filled season.

Northern NSW Football CEO David Eland said Northern NSW Football and its seven member zones

looked forward to going ‘back to normal’ in 2021.

“It’s an exciting time. The buzz around football and the start of the new season is really positive,” Eland said.

“Many players missed out on playing football in 2020.

“But we want to welcome them back to the game with open arms this year.

“The football family as a whole stuck together and, thanks to our volunteers and parents, we managed to get players young and old back on the park safely.

“There will obviously remain a strong focus on good health practices in 2021 but we want to go back to normal as best we can.”

Over the last five years football experienced a steady 13 per cent increase in registrations across

northern NSW. North Coast Football saw a similar trend with a 5 per cent increase in participation numbers over the last five years. “The continued increase in players shows our region is really embracing the country’s largest team sport,” Eland said. “Now that we’re leading up to a new season I can’t wait to see as many smiling faces as we can back enjoying the game they love this year.

“Building the game’s capacity is a strategic priority for NNSWF and by doing that we can ensure everyone who wants to play football, in particular women and girls, can do so.”

Registrations are now open for the 2021 season.

Swimmers star at the NSW Open Water Championships

By Aiden BURGESS

FOUR fantastic Coffs Harbour swimmers have proven to be amongst the best in the state.

The star swimmers finished as state finalists of their respective events at last weekend’s NSW Open Water Championships in Sydney.

In her first Open Water event, Lilly Geddes finished with a bronze medal in the 14 Girls 5km event.

The third-place finish saw her qualify for the National Open Water Championships to be held in March.

Sylas Phillips and Mitchell Hickey also finished as finalists at the State Championships, finishing eighth and ninth in their respective 5km events which saw them qualify for the National Open Water Championships.

Isaiha Phillips also took part in the NSW Open Water Championships, as he and his fellow Coffs Harbour

swimmers qualified for the Australian National Open Water Championships.

Proud coach of the awesome foursome SarahJane Weir said the results were testament to her swimmers work ethic in different training conditions.

“I’m incredibly proud of my squad and all they have accomplished over these last 7 months, and these results are just further reward for their hard work,” she said.

“The results were outstanding and a true testament to the hard work these athletes put in, and even greater considering they’re training is completed in a 20m learn to swim pool at Harbour Swim School.

“The results are amazing, especially given Coffs haven’t had results at Open Water State like this ever.”

The NSW Open Water Championships were originally meant to be held on December 19-20, but due

to the escalating COVID-19 situation in Sydney the second day was postponed

until 30 January.

Coffs Harbour to host Oztag NSW Junior State Cup

q Coffs Harbour Oztag teams are set to take part in the NSW Junior State Cup.

By David WIGLEY COFFS Harbour’s best junior Oztag players are ready to take on the state’s finest in their own backyard.

The Coffs Harbour Cavaliers junior representative teams are set to take part in next week’s 2021 NSW Junior State Cup to be held in Coffs Harbour.

The State Cup will feature teams ranging from under 12’s to under 17’s, held over a massive four days of top class representative Oztag from Thursday, 11 February to Sunday, 14 February at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium and surrounding fields.

The Coffs Harbour Cavaliers will proudly represent their region at home as they take on other regions from across NSW. Coffs Harbour are entering eight teams in this year’s NSW Junior State Championships, and will be well represented in most of the divisions including

Friday, 5 February, 2021

the 12’s,13’s,14’s,16’s, and 17’s girls’ competitions, and the 13’s, 15’s and 17’s boys.

Coffs Junior Oztag coordinator Mel Cowgill said Coffs Harbour teams were a growing presence at the State Cup. “Our kids are extremely excited and proud to be competing in the State Cup,” she said.

“Since the State Cup moved here in 2017, we have steadily grown our teams starting with two and each year now we have between 8 and 10 entered.”

Cowgill said preparations were in full swing for one of the biggest junior Oztag events in Australia.

“We all started training prior to the school holidays and it has been hard having a break and getting back into it,” she said.

“But everyone is back on board training 2 to 3 times a week at the moment, “We have also organised games between our teams for extra training.”

The most critical change

for this year’s NSW Junior State Cup is the maximum gathering capacity increased from 500 to 3000 persons in one area – providing it is large

enough to still adhere to the one person per two square metre rule.

Another big change is that the structure of the

www.newsofthearea.com.au

tournament will be different to past years to comply with current COVID-19 restrictions.

Divisions will play over two days with each day split

into two sessions, with the tournament segregated into five zones.

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 56 When Smith stepped down in 2016 Williams stepped up to become first grade coach and has fond memories of his time with the club.

“I love the club and the people in it, I’ve made lifelong friends from playing and coaching,” said Williams.

As the players sprinted across Forsyth Park, Williams summed up the mood in the camp.

“The lads are really excited to be back, the Coastal Premier League has been a huge lift for both the players and supporters, there’s little difference between top and bottom

in the CPL and that’s what makes for a really good competition,” said Williams.

Consistency is a key theme for the Lions as they prepare for the 2021 campaign.

“The core group remains together, we’ve lost a couple (of players) and gained a couple so we have good consistency, Luca (Paolacci) will look after the ressies again, he was brilliant last year, he wanted to start preseason training in December, you gotta love that passion,” chuckled Williams.

“The one big change which we’re really excited

about is having Addo (Brett Adams) joining the coaching panel, his knowledge of the game is immense and it’s given us a lift.

“Addo is up there with some of the best players who have ever played for this club, he played professionally in Singapore so it’s a big boost to

have that knowledge from a former player,” said Williams.

AFL North Coast’s best juniors develop their skills

By Aiden BURGESS

THE North Coast’s best junior Australian Rules talent have been putting in the hard yards over summer as they take part in a program to develop their burgeoning talent.

The Northern Heat have produced one of their best training performances in recent years under the summer heat.

Starting with a 1km time trial and Yo-Yo test, the Heat players showed they had done the hard graft over the Christmas/New Year break with the strength and conditioning program that was set for them by recording significantly improved results.

The Northern Heat features the best Under 16, Under 17, and Under 18

players from both the North Coast and North West regions.

The Heat players develop their skills through video analysis, GPS tracking, and strength and conditioning training conducted by an exSydney Swans coach The Heat squad features a number of AFL North Coast players, including the Sawtell/Toormina Saints’ Angus Anderson, Hamish Anderson, Poppy Johnston, Harrison Lee, Isaac Malt, Luke Neal, Ronan Singleton, Jaymus Troutman, and Mal Troutman.

The Heat also features Coffs Harbour Breakers player Hayden Proctor and the Northern Beaches Blues’ Jackson Berryman.

Squad member Hamish Anderson spoke about the Heat brand of footy that was

practiced during the session.

"We're all about clean hands, focusing on handballs, moving the ball as a whole unit, and working to back each other up,” he said.

Fellow Heat player Riley Sandral acknowledged how well the group did in a physically demanding session.

"We did a lot of ball movement drills and really emphasised keeping the skills at a high level after a lot of fitness work,” he said.

“We had to make smart choices to move the ball around, take the first option and keep up lots of talk."

AFL North Coast Community Manager Paul Taylor told News Of The Area the young players had definitely trained the house down over summer.

“Our squad yesterday put in one of the best training sessions since the program was re-formed three years ago,” he said.

“They proved that they’d had the commitment to complete their home strength and conditioning

the numerous games each weekend in a number of grades.

Growth in the AFL North Coast umpiring ranks is needed from Taree to Lismore and all major towns in between.

AFL North Coast have also indicated there is a specific need for umpires over the age of 18 to officiate matches in the Under 15’s and Youth Girls age groups as well as grades in the senior competition.

AFL North Coast Community Football Manager Paul Taylor said that the growth of local Aussie Rules meant finding new umpires was vital.

“The growth we’ve seen in recent years will continue in 2021, and with more matches to be played each weekend we need more umpires to help with the conduct of those matches,” he said. ”Further growth in local

“All looks good as we head towards a showdown

AFL at both the Senior and Junior level poses a challenge – finding more umpires to officiate each week.”

Taylor said new prospective umpires would be well supported.

“One of the barriers to people taking up umpiring is the concern that they don’t know what they’re doing so we make the process as simple and supportive as possible,” he said.

“The Laws of the Game course is online and is accessible to everyone, we’ll run a face-to-face intro to umpiring session as part of our Education Roadshow on 14 March, we’ll have umpire groups training in three locations each week, and new umpires will be partnered with experienced colleagues until they find their feet.”

Taylor told News Of The Area there were many benefits to being an umpire.

“Umpiring is a great way for people to earn cash each week, connect with the

“With the pandemic putting a strain on people’s finances, and mental and physical wellbeing, umpiring ticks all the boxes.

“And people starting out will be supported to get underway and feel comfortable in what they’re doing, “If you love footy, you’ll love being an umpire, not only do you get the best view of the action, you also get paid for the privilege.

“Keep fit, be part of a team, and learn leadership skills for both on and off the field.”

To umpire in the AFL North Coast Competition, an individual must be a minimum of 12 years of age.

Mid North Coast Rugby to kick off in April

By Aiden BURGESS AFTER joining forces last season to take on New England’s best, the Coffs Harbour Snappers and SCU Marlins will renew their rivalry playing against each other this upcoming season.

The Snappers and Marlins combined to form the Harbour Knights in 2020 as the new club competed in the New England Rugby Union competition.

Now the two clubs will play off again in this year’s Upper Mid North Coast Rugby Union season which kicks off on 24 April.

Joining the Snappers and Marlins in the six team competition are the Bowraville Goannas, Kempsey Cannonballs, Hastings Valley Vikings and Port Macquarie Pirates.

Mid North Coast Rugby released the draw for it’s upcoming 2021 season, with

the season to kick off on Saturday, 24 April.

The finals series begin on 14 August with the grand final to be decided on 28 August.

The opening round sees the Coffs Harbour Snappers at home against the Bowraville Goannas, while the SCU Marlins travel to take on the Kempsey Cannonballs.

The Snappers and Marlins play off in their first local derby of the year during Round 2 on 1 May, and then meet again in Round 7 on 5 June.

Their third meeting of the season takes place on 17 July.

work of the chase to win by three wickets as Ryan Gilkinson led his side home finishing on 38 not out.

It was a win which showed the Colts were playing to their potential this season, according to captain Matt Rose.

“I’m happy with how the team’s going and the side’s playing to their potential, and wherever we end up on the ladder this season we’re happy,” he said.

The Colts captain praised the efforts of two of his players which were pivotal in beating the ladder leaders.

“Scott Jennings' spell was the most accurate he’s bowled all year, and he followed the game plan we had against Diggers,” he said.

“And Ryan Gilkinson finished off the run chase and that’s the best knock I’ve seen him play.

“It’s good to see his hard work pay off, and he’s probably the most improved player on the North Coast.”

The Colts play against Nana Glen in the final of the T20 Cup on Sunday, a match which Rose and his side were pumped up to play.

“We’re looking forward to playing Nana Glen in the final at the International Stadium, which is a rarity to play at that ground,” he said.

MNC Junior Rugby will hold Friday night competitions in both Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie for boys and girls Under 8’s, Under 10’s, Under 12’s.

A Junior girls 7’s competition will also commence this year for girls 13 and older.

The BDC Barracudas will also make their debut

“It would cap off a great season for us and we’re raring to go.”

Sawtell did its semi-final chances a big favour with a 79-run win against the second placed Nana Glen.

Brendan Foote produced a great captain’s knock for Sawtell scoring 77 as his side finished on 180.

Nana Glen were then bowled out for 101 with Mark Weiley the chief destroyer taking 5/15 from his 6 overs.

Sawtell snapped Nana Glen’s five match winning streak, as the defending premiers have won their past two matches.

Round 12 also saw the Northern Districts Rebels move to second spot on the

ladder with a 68-run victory against Valleys Cricket in their one-day match in Woolgoolga.

The Rebels opened the batting and posted 146 with Baltej Mangat top scoring with 56.

The Rebels bowlers then did a demolition job on Valleys dismissing them for 78, as Parvinder Nagra took 4/14 from his 8 overs while Angus Rissel took 3/13 from his 5.4 overs.

In a very even season so far, just six points separate first and fifth spot on the ladder.

This kind of parity is what Colts captain Rose said was great for the region’s cricket.

“It’s good the wealths been spread around evenly, and it all starts with the

Paul B was the only shooting Centrefire and scored 146.

Member Profile: Barry B started target shooting in 1950 at age of 14 in a Sydney school rifle club, using army surplus rifles and some of the millions of cartridges left over from the war.

Barry continued shooting into university and national

service/CMF, but in 1958, work, travel and eventually marriage and family didn’t leave enough time for shooting.

In 1988, Barry and his Son joined St Ives Pistol Club in Sydney.

Barry learned a number of disciplines and shot at levels up to State Titles.

In retirement Barry and his wife moved to Fernmount

and joined Coffs Harbour Pistol Club in 1997.

Barry has been a tireless worker over the years, taking on many Executive positions.

He has been made a Life Member of the Club.

At age 85 he still holds positions on the Committee, maybe does not shoot as often, but still enjoys the interaction with fellow shooters.
