Coffs couple wrap up year with special gift FROM Page 1 state-of-the-art smart bed, describing it as a remarkable piece of medical equipment, purpose-built to improve frontline care for seriously ill patients.

Carolynn consulted other hospitals and undertook trials to ensure she sourced the best in trauma beds for Coffs Harbour hospital.

“These trauma-specific beds are very functional, with features that meet the needs of a diverse range of patients and their individual situations,” she said.

“We are so happy with this trauma bed – its adaptability and flexibility in meeting different patients’ needs are outstanding.

“We are very grateful to Rob and Margaret for their support.

“They have ensured our new ED has the very best in emergency response beds, which provides our doctors and nurses with a piece of equipment that helps us position patients to suit their needs during what can be a critical time.”

Robert and Margaret Chapman, who have previously donated a paediatric patient monitor and a gastrointestinal device, are philanthropists determined to make a difference in their local community.

Their latest donation brings their support for Coffs Harbour Health Campus to an amazing $85,000.

“We like to make a difference, which is something we hope others, fortunate enough to be able to, might also do,” Robert said.

“We try to make donations that help as many local people as possible and were

BOATING facilities across the state are being overhauled through a funding injection of up to $28 million.

Minister for Transport and Roads Rob Stokes said the package is the fourth round in the NSW Government’s Boating Now Program, which has invested in about 330 projects since it began in 2014.

“People across NSW have a renewed appreciation for our natural wonders and this program will allow more people to get out on the water safely,” Mr Stokes said.

“This latest investment builds on the $28 million third round of funding announced in 2019 and the original $70

million program.

“Through funding partnerships with councils, community groups and industry, this program delivers improved maritime access and safety at facilities right across NSW.” Projects previously funded through the Boating Now Program include a boating facilities upgrade at Rowland Reserve in Bayview, a new and improved boat ramp at Little Beach in Nelson Bay, an upgrade to the Sandy Point boat ramp and a new pontoon on the Georges River.

Through boating licence and registration fees the Boating Now Program

delighted to see this amazing new bed installed in the new wing of the hospital.

“This equipment will support patients when they first arrive in the Emergency Department and may even save lives.

“Margaret and I choose to make that difference in our community, where we know the equipment we donate to our local hospital will benefit locals when they need it most.”

Margaret said their donation came at a particularly poignant time, just before Christmas.

“We are delighted this donation has arrived in time for Christmas,” she said.

“What better gift could we make to our hospital staff, after such a difficult year.

“Our frontline health workers deserve ongoing support and thanks from the whole community.”

Boating Now launches new multi-million dollar round

is able to fund collaborative projects that support economic and community benefits across NSW. It also aims to provide better access to NSW waterways for local and visiting boaters so they can enjoy their time on the water with safety and ease.

Registrations of interest close on 28 February 2022 via http://www.rms.nsw. gov.au/projects/key-build-program/ boating-now/ and must be submitted before interested parties will be invited to submit a formal funding application.

“The top two fundraisers from Coffs Harbour in 2021 are ‘Get Dean through cancer treatment’ and ‘Support Kala Cook and her family through cancer’,” Jelena Avramovic from GoFundMe told News Of The Area.

Kala Cook told News Of The Area, “The amount of support and love that has been shown towards myself and my family over the last six months has been incredibly overwhelming.

“The generosity we've received not only from family, but the greater community has allowed me to stay home and concentrate on treatment.

“I will be forever grateful."

Kala is currently at Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer and is facing more chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

The next step after chemotherapy and immunotherapy is to have a lumpectomy performed to assess if all the cancer has been killed.

The ‘Get Dean through Cancer’ GoFundMe campaign is for surfer, church, fire and rescue and family man, Dean, who has made his way into the hearts of the many people in and around Bonville where he lives.

In July 2021, Dean was diagnosed with a grade 3 brain tumour and was quickly moved to Westmead hospital for surgery.

Dean’s wife Sally told News Of The Area, “I knew cancer was horrible when other people experienced it, but I didn't fully understand

South Coffs Community Garden continues on pathway of improvement

By David TUNE THE South Coffs Community Garden located in Bruce King Drive at Boambee East has continually improved over the past few years, with the dedicated group of volunteers working hard to make the gardens a great community asset.

With the help of a $38,000 State Government NSW Community Building Partnership program grant a new concrete pathway will be installed around the perimeter and crossing through the existing garden beds.

Gardens Committee President John Higgins told News Of The Area, “Putting in around 220 metres of concrete pathway will be the first job on our agenda in January next year, and we plan to have the work done in three days to minimise disruption to our gardeners.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated the Gardens volunteers and acknowledged the contribution the facility makes to the cohesion of the local community.

“I’m delighted the South Coffs Community Garden is now able to proceed with its allweather, safe, concrete pathway allowing improved accessibility for seniors and people with disability.

“The pathway, which will run around the entire garden, represents an important upgrade at this much-loved facility.

“This NSW Government funding is fantastic

“Funding local projects like this one directly helps create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive

VISITORS to the BIG4 holiday parks in Park Beach, Sawtell and Woolgoolga will find brand new beachfront cabins, boutique glamping tents, a mini-golf course, open-air cinema, more dining options and an upgraded BMX track awaiting them this summer season.

“In total, Council has spent more than $2million on making this year’s holiday as fun, luxurious, exciting and entertaining as it can possibly be for our guests so they will leave reluctantly and want to come back again as soon as possible,” Coffs Coast Holiday Parks manager Sean Hone said.

“We’re now offering

accommodation for all tastes - from first-class beachfront villas at Woolgoolga Beach, to boutique glamping at Sawtell and Woolgoolga Lakeside – while still maintaining our ever-popular range of great camping and cabin options.

“With borders reopening and COVID-19 restrictions easing, all our parks are experiencing increased demand which shows that people love the relaxed vibe they get from staying in a holiday park here on the Coffs Coast.”

Visitors will find: • Uninterrupted beach views from the new two or three-bedroom cabins at Woolgoolga Beach Holiday

Park; • New boutique glamping tents, some with private decks, that can sleep up to four people at BIG4 Sawtell Beach Holiday Park and Woolgoolga Lakeside Holiday Park; • A new 18-hole mini golf course which opened on Monday 20 December, plus outdoor cinema nights, at BIG4 Park Beach Holiday Park; • A new café space at BIG4 Park Beach Holiday Park with a fully fitted-out commercial kitchen – just looking for the right tenant; • A new mobile food vendor, Sandbar Raw, which opened for business at BIG4

Making NSW a safer place for children A MANDATORY Child Safe Scheme, a residential care workers register and development of a child protection audit tool are all among new measures helping to keep NSW children safe, according to a report released on December 17.

Attorney General Mark Speakman said the NSW Government’s annual progress report provides an update on actions in 2021 to implement recommendations of the Royal Commission into

Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

“Keeping children safe is our absolute priority.

“We have continued to make real progress while navigating a global pandemic, but there is still more to be done,” Mr Speakman said.

“We will continue to work hard throughout 2022 to protect children and young people, support victims and survivors and hold perpetrators to account for their horrific crimes.”

Key points mentioned in the annual report include: • Introduction of new laws establishing the Child Safe Scheme, a regulatory framework requiring certain NSW child-related organisations to implement Child Safe Standards; • Boosted protection for young people in detention, including expanding support services, trauma-informed counselling, and embedding a youth-centric and child safe approach in every Youth Justice centre;

• A new child protection audit tool to drive continuous improvement in the quality of child protection casework; • Development of a new framework for preventing and responding to problematic and harmful sexual behaviour in children and young people; • Completion of the residential care workers register build.

When released, the register will support agencies making decisions about the

suitability of an individual to provide care to children and young people in residential care; and • The Department of Education continuing to deliver training and resources to improve online safety for children.

“Everyone in our community has a responsibility to keep children safe.

“The new Child Safe Scheme starting in 2022 will help create safer communities and is a big

step forward in protecting our children and young people,” Mr Henskens said.

The NSW Government is making record investments to improve child safety and to support survivors, including $127 million over five years to implement responses to the Royal Commission’s recommendations.

Local authors filling the shelves ANOTHER Mid North Coast author lands in the burgeoning Local Authors section of Coffs Harbour Book Warehouse thanks to manager Julie Holgate’s keen interest in our region’s writers.

“I’m really keen to support local authors and we have a growing number filling our shelves,” Julie told News Of The Area.

Anthony English is the Valla author now stocked at Book Warehouse along with the new QBD bookstore in the Plaza.

Tony gained a nomination for Booker Prize 2021, and while he didn’t make the finals, he is justly proud of such high recognition for his first novel, Death of a Coast Watcher.

A prestigious publishernominated award, the Booker Prize compiles nominees through publishers being consulted on the novels they wish to nominate.

“That process, totally independent of me, led to Death of a Coast Watcher being one of only 158 nominees worldwide in 2021.

“Sure, it didn't make the final cut but being one of 158 nominees for that prestigious award is heartening for a non-entity hiding in the backblocks of Valla,” Tony told News Of The Area.

“A n o t h e r q Anthony English, Valla author point is that selfof Death of a Coast Watcher, now published books available in Coffs bookstores. are not eligible.

“Death of a Coast Watcher on a whim.

“I had nothing much else is a traditional publication funded and managed entirely to do,” Tony said.

“That said, as I got into by a long-established UK publisher; they specialise in its early stages, and as it fiction and non-fiction with progressed over several years, I realised I was doing it strong Asia-related content.”

As the general public to make sense of sometimes ploughs through books with weird life experiences, and a hearty appetite, and we’re to create articulate, rich hearing about increasing order out of semi-formed and numbers of local authors sometimes chaotic ideas.

“In a sense, you could say penning their prose, there’s an awe in seeing the job well I ended up creating some sort done and with esteemed of artistic order out of chaos.

“I guess a lot of it was recognition.

For Tony the motivation about writing to find out what to write Death of a Coast I thought about a lot of things, Watcher wasn’t about with the thoughts channelled characters and wrestling with having to through write this book, it was more situations based on real about him waking up one places and people and morning and deciding to do it situations,” Tony said.

Crime Commision Inquiry into money laundering at licensed premises THE NSW Crime Commission (NCC) inquiry into money laundering at licensed premises in NSW has been welcomed by the State Government.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said he was pleased Commissioner Michael Barnes had determined to use the NCC’s extensive powers to perform a thorough investigation.

“Money laundering and organised crime are completely unacceptable in any form.

“The NSW Crime Commission has the full backing of the NSW Government as they launch this inquiry,” Mr Perrottet said.

roles in the fabric of their communities and so recent reports highlighting how organised criminals are laundering money through poker machines are deeply concerning.

“The Commissioner will work in collaboration with the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.”

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott welcomed the joint inquiry which will investigate potential vulnerabilities within the legal framework governing the relationship between poker machines and money laundering.

“Organised crime costs

our community more than $36 billion each year, and criminal networks are dependent on money laundering channels to legitimise the proceeds of their activities. I expect the NSW Police Force to make a submission to the inquiry,” Mr Elliott said.

Minister for Digital and Customer Service Victor Dominello, as the Minister responsible for liquor and gaming in NSW, also welcomed the inquiry.

"For the first time we will get an understanding of the link between organised crime and how they use pokies to launder dirty cash,” Mr Dominello said.

The Commissioner has released terms of reference for the inquiry and called for public submissions to be made by 28 January 2022.

Coercive control criminalised of our responsibilities in Government to uphold the safety and human dignity of all of our citizens.

“That’s why we’re supporting, or supporting in principle, 17 of the Committee’s 23 unanimous recommendations.

“This includes consulting on and introducing a standalone offence to address coercive control, as well as possible amendments to other existing laws,” Mr Speakman said.

Six recommendations

have been noted as further consideration continues.

“Coercive control is also a red flag for intimate partner homicide.

“The Domestic Violence Death Review Team led by the Coroner found that intimate partner homicide in NSW is typically preceded by coercive control often without any recorded physical violence.

“I commend especially the extraordinary bravery of the victim-survivors who contributed to the Inquiry,” Mr Speakman said.

Sign up to Clean Up Australia

By Andrea FERRARI CLEAN UP Australia Day organisers have opened volunteer registrations anticipating more rubbish “as the environment feels the effects of a post COVID-19 hangover,” they said.

Clean Up Australia Day is on Sunday 6 March 2022.

Pip Kiernan, Clean Up Australia Chairman, and daughter of Ian Kiernan who founded the organisation, said, “It’s more important than ever to protect Australia’s unique environment by stepping up on Clean Up Australia Day. “While most of us are returning to living more normally, the environment is still experiencing the impact of the pandemic.

“Our habits changed during COVID and most of these haven’t been kind on the environment.

“Surges in online shopping, meal delivery services and the use of disposable face masks and coffee cups, mean the environment is feeling the after-effects of the pandemic in ways not seen before,” she said.

Katherine Gates, Leader in Charge and Scouts Leader at Coffs Harbour Scout Group told News Of The Area, “Coffs Harbour Scout Group has always enjoyed taking part in Clean Up Australia Day. “Scouting is all about getting out there and learning

by doing.

“Clean up Australia Day meshes with this perfectly.

“It’s important for young people to learn about how they and others impact the world around them.

“Both on a micro and macro scale.

“Taking part in Clean Up Australia Day is one way for our members to have a positive impact on our local area, both small scale and also as part of a larger movement.

“It’s a day to focus our attention and really look at the area around us.

“It has been encouraging that the level of rubbish collected in recent years has been less than in some other years.

“It will be interesting to see what is different this time around with masks and the use of more disposable items.

“As scouts we know that keeping our area clean isn’t just about one day.

“As part of our activities we aim to leave an area better than we found it.

“Even a regular scout night in Brelsford Park produced quite a lot of rubbish.

“Clean Up Australia Day, for us, is a day to bring the focus back on litter and reinforce how we can all improve the world…and have fun doing it.”

Registration is easy, and all community-based participants receive a free

THE NSW Government has committed to outlawing coercive control in current and former intimate partner relationships as part of the response to recommendations from the Joint Select Committee on Coercive Control.

Attorney General and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence Mark Speakman said NSW Parliament moved to establish the Committee

just over a year ago to explore whether to criminalise this conduct in NSW. At the same time, the NSW Government published a discussion paper to help guide the work of the Committee and inform submissions to the Inquiry.

The Government is now taking the next step building on the Inquiry’s work by developing and consulting extensively on the drafting of this new law.

“No person deserves to live in fear, and it is part

to ensure these include content about coercive and controlling behaviour.

Comprehensive training on coercive control will also be introduced across Government systems and communities.

A public awareness campaign about coercive control will be developed and delivered in consultation with stakeholders, including with culturally and linguistically diverse and First Nations communities and organisations. accommodation, social housing and specialist wraparound services.

Minister for Mental Health and Women Bronnie Taylor said domestic abuse can take many forms other than physical violence, which together can comprise coercive control.

“Coercive control is simply unacceptable.

“It involves patterns of abuse that have the cumulative effect of denying victim-survivors their autonomy and independence, including physical, sexual, psychological, or financial abuse,” Mrs Taylor said.

In addition, the Department of Education will review school programs about respectful relationships

Coffs Agricultural Show thanks volunteers

By Andrea FERRARI

VOLUNTEERS for the Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show 2021 were given a super Thank You Lunch paid for by a NSW Regional Infrastructure volunteers grant, in appreciation of their efforts at this year’s show.

“We were really pleased with the funding because it meant we could say thank you to our volunteers who work so hard on the show throughout the year, and no-one had to lift a hand,” Christopher Pearson, President Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show told News Of The Area..

“One condition of the grant is that the money needs to be spent locally.

“So, we used Tru Blu Catering in Coffs Harbour and the local Girl Guides organisation provided their hall and all the facilities, tables and chairs etc,” said Christopher.

A special mention was made to one volunteer, Peter Kimber, who has given twenty years of service to organising and running the Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show.

Margaret Crawley, Vice President of Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show said, “Peter has worked tirelessly, and it was important to formally offer our appreciation to Peter.

“Peter is someone who has been involved in other community groups such as

q Frances Blake, a very long-time volunteer at Coffs Agricultural Show.

Coffs Harbour Garden Club,” said Margaret.

Present at the lunch was Heather Orne.

Unusually, Heather has been Show Ambassador for two years running.

This came about because there was no show in 2020 owing to Covid restrictions.

Show Ambassador is the new name for the formerly known Show Girl contest, and nowadays young men are eligible for nomination.

Also, in attendance at the Volunteers Thank You Lunch was Frances Blake, now in her nineties, a former Show Girl of “many years ago”.

“She is an absolute delight and still very involved in the Agricultural Show,” said

Margaret Crawley.

“Frances rode her horse in the Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show Centenary celebrations in 2014.

Who’s who in our bird-rich region

By Andrea FERRARI

“WE are so lucky,” Richard Jordan from Bellingen Birders told News Of The Area.

“The Coffs Coast is one of the most birdrich areas of NSW.” Here Richard shares some of the many glorious high points of our local birding.

“We have lyrebirds, one of the world’s most accomplished vocalists and mimics; majestic Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos tearing at branches in their search for grubs; and colourful honeyeaters and lorikeets sipping nectar from our backyard flowers.

“And what would our world be like without birdsong?

“Understandably, people like to get closer to birds.

“It is surprising how many birds will come to a backyard bird bath.

“Site it near a window and, preferably, not far from a shrub where small birds can feel safe as they wait their turn.

“Technology offers a great way to identify the birds you see and hear.

“There are two excellent ‘apps’ for smartphones.

“They have the big advantage over a book in that you can hear the calls, and you have your ‘field guide’ in a very portable form.”

The apps are Morcombe’s Birds of

Australia and Pizzey & Knight Birds of Australia.

“There is also a free app, which is quite good: Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab.” It’s hard to imagine a world without birds, but as Richard says, many species are in a precarious situation.

“The latest ‘Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020’, published by CSIRO, lists 96 Australian birds that are closer to extinction than ten years ago.

“Climate change (with associated fire and drought), plus land clearing and drying wetlands, are some of the factors involved.

“On the other hand, 23 of our birds have become more secure because of strong action to conserve them.

“So, there is hope.

“You can help to save one of our rather rare Coffs Coast birds.

“The Glossy Black-Cockatoo is a little smaller than its ‘yellow-tailed’ relative, and it has red tail panels.

“It feeds exclusively on the fruits of two species of she-oaks in our forests.

“It could be in trouble because of the 2019/20 fires.”

You can assist in a citizen-science project to protect The Glossy Black-Cockatoo by reporting any sightings to Richard at emutours@gmail.com.

A FURTHER $250 million in funding is now available under the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).

Applications for Round 6 of the program are now open, paving the way for new projects that our communities need and deserve to be funded and delivered. .

Pat Conaghan, Federal Member for Cowper, is calling on local councils and community organisations to start preparing applications for projects to receive a share in $250 million.

“The Liberal and Nationals Government is delivering the services and infrastructure our communities deserve,” Mr Conaghan said.

“Funding projects in regional towns will ensure communities have the facilities they need for the future, while creating jobs now and driving our economic recovery.

“Round 5 of the Building Better Regions Fund saw critical projects across the Mid North Coast receive significant grants, from the world-leading dementia care village at Emmaus in Port Macquarie to the impressive upgrade of Sawtell Pool to meet the demands

of our growing population.

“Our Government has a strong track record of delivering projects that are important to regional Australians and I look forward to discussing new projects with local councils and community groups.”

The BBRF supports economic and social infrastructure for the long-term benefit of regional communities. Funding the infrastructure and services that communities need for the future will create jobs and help them rebound strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Funding under Round 6 takes the Government’s total investment through the BBRF to $1.38 billion.

This includes an investment of over $15.5 million across 19 projects throughout Cowper.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development. Barnaby Joyce, said the Government is focused on ensuring our regions remain strong and grow into the future.

“Regional Australians deserve the same services and opportunities that people in metropolitan cities have and the Building Better Regions Fund helps make this happen,”

the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“That’s why we’ve committed another $250 million for projects and initiatives that will transform communities, create new jobs and drive economic growth across regional Australia.

“This will build on the 298 fantastic regional projects that shared in $300 million in funding under the last round of the Building Better Regions Fund.

“Our Government is committed to delivering the best outcomes for regional and remote Australia, which is why we are providing local businesses, industries and families with opportunities to get ahead.”

Local governments and eligible incorporated not-for-profit organisations can again apply for grants of $5,000 up to $10 million to cover 50 percent or more of eligible project costs.

Round 6 projects will be funded under two streams.

The Infrastructure Projects Stream supports the construction of new infrastructure, or the upgrade or extension of existing infrastructure.

Mobong Creek picnic area spruced up for summer

By Andrea FERRARI

MOBONG Creek picnic area is all spruced up and ready for visitors.

Located within Wild Cattle Creek State Forest in Bellingen Shire’s north west corner, the picnic area lies 3km west of the Cascade Environment Centre (around 60 minutes west of Coffs Harbour, or 30 minutes north of Dorrigo).

Access to the site is suitable for 2WDs in dry weather.

“It’s a beautiful spot with waterfalls, a water hole and walks into the State Forest,” Ryan Ellis, Partnerships Leader, Forestry Corporation of NSW’s Forest Stewardship division told News Of The Area.

“Following the 2019/20 bushfires it became clear the site needed some attention and the pedestrian footbridge needed replacing…it was past its ‘use by’ date and required removal.

“We built a new bridge using Tallowwood from local supplier Coffs Harbour Hardwoods, and with the support of the hardwood plantation team we replaced the infrastructure and made the site safe.”

The site now has a new toilet, picnic tables and fire pits.

“There is limited space but can accommodate some overnight stays.

“The waterfall and pool at the picnic area are a great place to relax and cool off.

“You can access both sides of the creek for your picnic; on the high bank overlooking Mobong Creek or cross the bridge which takes you right onto the creek – there are picnic facilities on both sides.

“The work was completed in stages over the past 12 months and involved small teams, camping out for a week at a time, taking all our materials and equipment.”

The Mobong Track and Mobong Falls are also nearby for the adventurous.

The Mobong track follows a historic tramway from the small settlement of Cascade used when the area was originally harvested for timber, through Cascade National Park with the last 500m of track in Wild Cattle Creek State Forest, where the trail finishes at Mobong Creek Picnic Area.

The site is a great day trip loop when heading from Coffs out to Bellingen, up to Dorrigo and back down the range via East Dorrigo Way through Ulong.

Please note sustainable timber harvesting is currently underway in some parts of Wild Cattle Creek state Forest so drive with caution and obey any signage. q Toilet construction by John Berry, Glen Sheela and Dave McLaughlin.

Get growing as global fertiliser prices rise

By Andrea FERRARI

A GLOBAL shortage of fertilisers is driving up food prices.

Higher gas prices are pushing up fertiliser costs and affecting food prices worldwide.

Fertilisers, such as the commonly used urea, require large amounts of gas in their production.

The increase in gas prices in recent months has been triggered by several factors which have increased demand, including the unlocking of economies during the pandemic and

reduced wind or rain for renewable power.

This has all led to a sharp rise in the cost of producing fertiliser, with the price of ammonia up 255% on last year.

What can we do as individuals living on the Coffs Coast and its Hinterland to shore ourselves up against food shortages on our supermarket shelves?

There’s no time better than summer 2021/2 to start growing your own food, buying from local homebased market gardeners and roadside stalls.

“So many of us are looking forward to summer holidays in the great outdoors, and new and renewed infrastructure and access will help everyone to enjoy the serenity of some of the best fishing, boating, and camping spots around the state of New South Wales.”

Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Adam Marshall said the funding would secure new or renewed facilities for local councils to help improve facilities across the state such as boat ramps, jetties, amenity blocks and campsites.

“After a tough two years for the Australian tourism industry, this program will see improved infrastructure delivered across NSW, to help attract more tourists to our best fishing and outdoor destinations,” Minister Marshall said.

“The program is designed to support local

Ian told News Of The Area, “For most people it’s not about self-sufficiency, it’s more about having food security with some easy to grow fresh herbs, leafy greens, tomatoes and beans.

“Start with improving the soil and these foods just grow themselves thereafter.

“Once you’ve tasted homegrown herbs or an heirloom tomato you’ll be spoiled forever, and shopbought foods just don’t seem as appealing.

“Grown well, homegrown food is more flavoursome and nutritious, so there’s no tastier way to stay healthy.”

councils to deliver new or renewed infrastructure directly related to recreational fishing, boating, and camping.

“The improvements will help bolster the recreational fishing industry, which already does so much for the state, including injecting $3.4 billion into the economy each year.

“This program will build on some of the fantastic recreational fishing facilities projects delivered with funds from the NSW Recreational Fishing Trust grants program and Habitat Action Grants.

“It will be great to see councils getting behind these grants as they provide real benefits to the state’s recreational fishing industry and economy.”

There will be two tiers of grants, those less than $50,000 and larger projects greater than $50,000.

Applications for these grants are open now and close at 5pm on 31 January 2022.

CHILDREN across the state will be able to get hands-on with farming when school returns in 2022.

The Kids to Farms program, a partnership between NSW Farmers and the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, aims to teach primary school students about the importance of agriculture.

“The Kids to Farms program aims to build awareness of where food and fibre comes from – something we can’t take for granted in an increasingly urbanised world,” NSW Farmers Young Farming Council Member and school teacher Charlotte Groves said.

“Even though COVID stopped some of our on-farm activities this year, our Ag Packs have been very popular and we’re excited to announce $1500 will continue to be available to eligible primary schools in 2022 to access the excursion program.

“The funding means more schools across the state can arrange farm excursions for their students.”

The Kids to Farms program proved popular this year despite COVID-19 restrictions, with schools having hosted farmers and taken part in virtual farm tours online.

And even though lockdowns got in the way of getting more schools onto farms, a few events did go ahead, including a oncein-a-lifetime experience on the shore of the iconic Sydney Harbour for National Ag Day. “It was incredible to bring Kids to Farms to the heart of Sydney and spread the word about agriculture,” Ms Groves said.

THIS is a meandering self-sufficient tropical plant who also grows itself really happily in subtropical-like locations like ours.

However, reliably being able to feast on it means knowing how to tip the balance towards large tubers in known locations.

Both the tubers and leaves come in a wide array of colours and shapes and are edible, delicious and nutritious.

The leaves are a great warm season spinach.

They wilt quickly with storage so eat them as freshly picked as possible, raw or cooked.

Sweet potato needs a long frost free growing season of 4 - 6 months with warm days and warm nights.

Grow them on a wide mound.

They have no tolerance for waterlogging and will simply rot away if left to sit in soggy soil.

A mound will drain well.

A wide one will retain enough moisture to keep the plant happy as it does not like drying out.

Prevent excess roots.

This plant will root wherever a leaf node touches the ground.

Once planted, don't let it ramble and root all over the place.

Snip off the wandering tendrils at about a metre long (eat the trimmings!).

Encourage the plant to put its energy into making a few storage roots only, not tendrils and leaves and a whole bunch of roots.

Some people grow the tendrils up a trellis to prevent them laying on the ground and making more roots but you can just keep pruning.

Sweet potato can be grown in this area from storage roots, slips, cuttings or sprouts.

Cuttings and sprouts are most recommended as they have the lowest chance of passing on plant diseases.

Cuttings are pieces of the vines with a growing tip.

Sprouts are new growth direct from the tuber, minus the tuber and with lots of nodes

Is it time to rebuild the Woolgoolga WW1 War Memorial?

DEAR News Of The Area,

NOW that the local Council elections are complete, perhaps the new Council might like to turn their attention to re-building the old Woolgoolga WW1 War Memorial.

The Memorial had been an integral part of Woolgoolga

since 1922, when it was erected through funds raised by the families of Woolgoolga’s fallen Diggers and the generosity of the Woolgoolga community.

In 2001, after 79 years, it was decreed as unsafe and removed.

However the Memorial still exists in pieces and

close together.

Use this habit of rooting from nodes to your advantage.

When you plant your sweet potato, bury more than one node per planting.

A group of storage roots will grow from each node.

You will end up with one plant, multiple nodes underground and multiple groups of sweet potatoes in a contained area.

I am sure the local community would very much appreciate this Memorial being rebuilt in time for Remembrance Day in 2022.

I am sure there are many who agree with me.

Regards, Peter WEYLING, Corindi Beach.

Don't feed sweet potato lots of nitrogen unless you really want a lot of leaves and bugger all roots.

Keep them evenly watered while they are growing and next time, plant them in a different spot in the garden.

CHRIS BARROW DENTURE CLINIC

JORDAN, I have been pondering this one for a while also.

There are people in my family who are immuno-compromised and then there are relatives who are young, fit, and healthy, but not vaccinated.

Although I am a reasonably wellqualified person, my qualifications are not in infection control or immunology and so in these situations, I defer to the experts.

I also ask two questions in relation to any advice: 1. Does this person have an ulterior motive for the information they are providing?

2. Is this information backed up by the person's area of expertise or is it simply their opinion under the guise of expertise?

If it is the latter, they are nothing more or less than an opinionist, and an opinionist, however amusing or hilarious or shocking or disgruntled or provocative they seem, is in the game of entertaining, provoking, and sometimes (after one too many vodka, lime and sodas) denigrating others for their own endgame.

Unfortunately, social media has enabled anyone with a device to spread information (and misinformation) and it is sometimes those who yell the loudest who get the attention.

In your situation, I would suggest that you assess any risk, think of those who, to the best of your knowledge, may not be protected where there is risk, and use that information to decide.

Next time, Jordan, can you please ask me a question about dealing with whining teenagers, absconding pets (and/or husbands), too-tight activewear, whether colour-coding pegs is a disorder, date night disasters or any number of subjects that I am able to answer with a fair degree of confidence and experience.

Until then, Stay safe.

OPINION & LETTERS

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD STARTING at News Of The Area just three months after its inauguration in the Coffs Harbour region, it is hard to believe that over a year has already passed.

If anyone had told me that as an academic and historian I would become a regular newspaper columnist, I’m not sure I would have believed them.

Having ‘put my feet up’ after concluding three decades of volunteering and all the work that goes into an Honours thesis, the opportunity to write a history column was timely.

With a love of storytelling and a passion

Meet the Columnist for history, turning that into a newspaper column was only a short step away, not to mention a nice relief from academic writing.

It is also a change from Halloween cemetery walks I volunteered to hold, so you won’t see me prowling around local cemeteries, dressed up in costume, giving talks by torchlight … at least for the time being.

On the other hand, you might still spot me in my oldest clothes, hiking through the scrub on the trail of a long-lost lone grave, or in some vine-covered abandoned shed looking through boxes of records.

Who said history was boring!

My family have resided in Coffs Harbour since the outbreak of WW1 and having been born here, along with living here almost all my life with my husband and children, I could almost be classed as a ‘local’.

Together with over thirty years of research and academic study, this experience and insight has given me a sense of the depth and variety of history in the region which I

bring into my articles.

I am always learning and thoroughly enjoy sharing the good, the bad and the ugly with you, especially during lockdowns when no-one could get out and about.

Researching and writing for a column is largely a solo activity, so I counted myself greatly privileged in teaming up with Uncle Mark Flanders to bring you the perspective of Coffs Harbour’s first peoples and although he is greatly missed, I like to think he is still here in spirit on the land of the Gumbaynggirr.

I also partnered with Coffs Harbour Regional Museum to share, where possible, photos from their collection.

The hard-working people of the News Of The Area are a friendly, enthusiastic and quite considerate group.

To see the establishment of a newspaper to meet the needs of a region, particularly those who do not access electronic news, is inspirational.

Since the 1700s newspapers have been at the core of a community, playing an

Times Gone By - Homicide at Coffs Harbour: The Plot Thickens (Part 8)

By Karen FILEWOOD AFTER Constable May had finished giving his evidence, other witnesses were called.

Contractor Thomas Martin stated he “had never heard anything against Matteson’s character”, but when questioned, he described how Matteson had never treated Friske badly, although he had threatened to “knife him”.

William Lewis, a labourer, corroborated the constable’s evidence, then Thomas Duncan, teamster, was called to give his

testimony.

He also confirmed the previous witness statements, then two cheque butts were produced which he confirmed came from his cheque book.

Numbered 4356, the first butt had ‘paid Matt £8’ written on it and had been drawn on at the Commercial Bank at Fernmount, while the second, number 4357, was blank.

He explained how he must have accidentally given the blank cheque to Matteson with the first, when paying him

for some corn.

The prisoner, Friske, had asked Duncan to exchange the £8 cheque for cash, but he had refused, saying if he hadn’t already paid Matteson he would have done so and the cheque was no good.

Friske had then asked Duncan to pay him for some corn, but again Duncan declined, saying he had bought it from Matteson, so would pay him.

Duncan went on to describe how he did not hear Friske’s confession as he had to leave the room because he became

The next witness, Thomas Woods, local shoemaker and farmer, identified boots produced in court as being made by him for Matteson.

He then confirmed his initial examination of the leg and boots, along with his statement to Constable May, that the boots would fit the foot on the severed leg.

Charles Johnson verified Friske’s attempt to give him money, how Friske and Matteson had arguments then became friends again, that Matteson and Petersen were ‘bad friends’ and how Friske had told him he thought Petersen had killed Matteson.

John Woodde then related how Friske had told him that Matteson had gone away but not to tell anyone.

Snake bites prompt reminder about importance of first aid WITH warmer weather creating a potential surge in venomous snake and spider activity, St John Ambulance NSW is reminding people about the importance of first aid.

NSW residents have been issued a warning of a potential surge in venomous snake and spider activity across the state this summer, due to the continued wet and

humid weather conditions caused by La Niña.

“Australia has some of the most venomous snakes and spiders in the world,’ says Sarah Lance, CEO, St John Ambulance NSW. “Time is critical when it comes to venomous bites, and they should be treated as a medical emergency.

“That is why we are asking people to brush up

on the signs, symptoms and – most importantly – the treatment of snake and spider bites.”

More than half of deaths caused by snake bites in Australia occur in the home, and with continued wet weather conditions forcing snakes and spiders out of their natural habitat in search of drier areas, it’s expected that sightings within the

“Their stories are magnificent additions to this popular book.”

Copies of Seniors’ Stories will be available in our local libraries and online as a PDF or audiobook.

Here, Wendy Fisher, tells News Of The Area how she got writing her story.

“Back in 2014 as my physical health was deteriorating whilst waiting for an organ transplant, I needed to try something new – I had just three criteria, a) it had to be local, b) it had to stimulate my brain, and c) it had to be affordable.

“A friend mentioned giving U3A a go – I’d never heard of it, but checked the

website, promptly joined the Creative Writing class and haven’t looked back.

“The classes were fun and brought out a creative side of me I never knew existed.

“I entered the NSW Senior Stories’ Competition as a bit of a challenge to beat the boredom of lockdown, combined with the maxim ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’.

“The theme for the stories this year was ‘What’s age got to do with it?’, and there was a word maximum of 1,000.

“I instinctively knew that I had to approach the subject thinking outside the box, or my effort would be lost in the judge’s reject pile.

home will increase.

The most dangerous snake posing a threat to Australians is the eastern brown snake, which causes a higher number of fatalities than any other snake in Australia.

“The most important thing in the event of a snake bite is to immediately call 000,” says St John Ambulance Training Manager and former Paramedic, Lara Bisley.

“Ultimately you want to stop the venom from

travelling, which means as you’re waiting for the ambulance you should keep the patient still, lay them flat and wrap a bandage over the site of the bite.

“Follow this with a pressure bandage – starting from the fingers or toes and wrapping upwards as far as you can go.”

The funnel-web spider is also a cause for concern amongst NSW residents due to its lethal venom which can be fatal in just 15 minutes.

Coffs Seniors get published in NSW Seniors’ Stories book FOUR Coffs Coast seniors have had their stories included in NSW Seniors’ Stories Volume 7.

The four are: Eric Burrows – Intrepid Hiker, Graham Doust – Tales of a Cricket Tragic, Wendy Fisher – The Painting and Jill Plummer – Age Is Only a Number – Mine Is Unlisted.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, congratulates them all.

“Our talented seniors on the Coffs Coast continue to inspire me with the many unique experiences they share with us in Seniors’ Stories.

q Coffs U3A has a host of activities to get involved with.

www.newsofthearea.com.au “Funnel-web symptoms can include breathing difficulty, excess saliva, muscular twitching, numbness around the mouth, disorientation and confusion leading to unconsciousness,” Mrs Bisley says.

Having access to a first aid kit that includes a guide and items including pressure bandages is recommended in all outdoor situations according to St John.

To find out more about first aid training or products, visit www.stjohnnsw.com.au.

q Wendy Fisher joined U3A and found her creative bent after she started the Creative Writing course.

“My story is called ‘The Painting, and the seed of the idea was sown from memories I had of scouring the Sunday markets with my mum on bitter English winter mornings – she had a good eye for antiques yet to be appreciated for their value.

“In my story the protagonist, a woman, spots an old painting at the market, and realises that the frame has been etched by Van Gogh himself.

“She haggles with the stall owner by claiming that the wooden frame is tatty and worthless, but that she likes the painted country scene.

“The stall holder seals the bargain by offering to drop the large painting out to the woman’s house the next morning, only to arrive on the doorstep carrying the rolled up painting.

“He had burnt the frame on his wood burner the prior evening as the customer claimed she didn’t really want it.

“Imagine my surprise when my story was one of the 100 chosen across NSW – I was thrilled to see my name in print, and now intend to write more short stories for my young grandsons.

“To think this journey started with ill health, a chance conversation, Coffs Harbour U3A and a sense of just ‘giving it a go’.

NOTA will chat with the other three writers, Eric, Graham and Jill,

beginning next week.

NSW Seniors Card members were invited to contribute 1,000-word short stories to the book.

Simple pleasures of home

By Andrea FERRARI

NAN Donna, a local Coffs Harbour Aboriginal grandmother, finally has a place to call her own thanks to the support of not-for-profit housing provider, Community Housing Ltd (CHL).

After years on the social housing waitlist, Nan Donna was one of the 405,000 Australian women over the age of 45 on the brink of homelessness in NSW*.

A place to have her family over for dinner; a garden for

her eight-year-old grannie (grandson Marquell) to play and have friends round; a chair outside in a safe place.

These are the simple pleasures Nan Donna is grateful for since being given the keys to her new threebedroomed home.

“It’s a godsend, big time,” Donna told News Of the Area.

For years Donna has lived a rollercoaster life, latterly living in a bedsitter in Armidale, with her young grandson having to share the same bed, away from her

daughters who live in Coffs Harbour.

“When CHL called me and said they had a house to offer me I said yes straight away.

“I’m over the moon…I love it.

“I’m going to make the garden nice for the grannies to play in and I’m going to have everyone over to dinner on Christmas Eve.” Her eldest grandson has just graduated Year 10, another reason to celebrate.

“More times than not I’m out here in the garden.

q Donna with her table where she’ll host her family dinners and do arts and crafts.

“I have my table here where I can do my arts and crafts, I’m just getting into sand art and I can get the kids involved.

“I have a little radio here and it’s where I sit and have my coffee in the morning.”

A little emotional, Donna said, “It’s practically saved my sanity.

“You will say a big, big thank you to Community Housing, won’t you?”

Yes, Donna, we will.

So that’s official – a huge thank you from Donna.

“I’ve never been so happy in my life before,” she said.

Nan Donna knows she is

one of the lucky ones, with the pandemic seeing older women become the fastest growing cohort of people experiencing homelessness – she is now eager to see more local housing support for people like her.

Community Housing Ltd. is a not-for-profit housing organisation delivering good quality, sustainable, affordable housing for the most vulnerable in the community.

CHL is focused on developing housing options for those experiencing housing difficulty and is continuously improving its service delivery to tenants

so they can live stable lives, raise families, engage in employment or study and generally have enough to live adequately and safely day to day.

CHL is a vertically integrated operation that manages the entire housing lifecycle, including securing funding, locating suitable land, project managing, designing and constructing, then managing the tenancy for the long-term, collecting rents and maintaining the property. *August 2020 Report developed by the Housing for the Aged Action Group.

BULL

TUESDAY

ALONE

SBS VICELAND, 6.15pm

The world is rife with heavily edited reality shows that come with a cavalcade of camera crews behind the scenes to help perfect that “this is really real” look.

However, we all suspect that the folks trying to survive in the jungle or race across the world with empty wallets are secretly being handed a packet of chips or a chocolate when the cameras aren’t rolling, which is what makes this Canadian series unique. In Alone, the contestants are left to their own devices and must film their own footage as they try to survive.

In this series inspired by the early trial law career of Phil McGraw – the Dr Phil who counsels countless troubled people in his selftitled self-help show – we can probably attribute its success on the charms of its star, Michael Weatherly.

Through its six seasons, Bull has become as much about its charming protagonist as the social issues it delves into.

In the “False Positive”, Bull assists a grieving mother sue the developers of a computer program that misidentified her son as a criminal, which led to him being fatally shot.

THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY

7FLIX, 8.30pm

This nostalgic adaptation of Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’ best-selling novel stars Lily James (Downton Abbey) as author Juliet Ashton, who begins corresponding with Dawsey Adams (Michiel Huisman) about his unique book club formed four years earlier during the island of Guernsey’s Nazi occupation. Inspiration strikes for Juliet, and before long she visits the island, making long-lasting friendships and discovering a new way of life. It features a marvellous ensemble cast.

Model Trains Are Good For Well Being

By Andrew VIVIAN GETTING together to enjoy a hobby with like-minded people has a positive effect on well being, and model train enthusiasts are no exception.

Paul Baker, President of the Coffs Coast Railroad Modellers, told News Of The Area that his club is allied with the Men’s Shed, and members were mindful of its benefit to mental health.

The members meet Friday nights and Saturday mornings in the old St. John’s Ambulance shed at the Coffs Harbour showgrounds and have morning tea on Monday mornings in Toormina.

Re-imagining frying pans into mushroom garden ornaments

By Andrea FERRARI

CHUCKING things out when they are perfectly serviceable is one of Georgethe-carpenter’s bugbears.

Repurposing, repairing, restoring, and what George advocates, re-imagining, common household items, are ways of making a lesslittered, better world for us all.

George, well known in Coffs where he’s lived since 1969, is currently attracting inquisitive attention and customers for his reimagined frying pans.

Turning them on their heads, the frying pans become a mushroom top to which George attaches a wooden stalk to create a fun garden accessory.

You may have seen the old-fashioned metal wheelbarrow ornament on the side of the road on Shepherd’s Lane in Coffs.

Well, that’s George’s abode, behind which is his

workshop where he does his re-imagining and a lot more creative stuff.

“I started making the frying pan mushrooms five years ago and they took off,” George told News Of The Area.

“The idea developed with the frying pans lending themselves to the shape required; I now use old dog bowls, salad bowls, old dinner plates…upside-down they all look like a toadstool, which I then paint and decorate…sometimes I add a fairy on top.

“A local restaurant called me the other day to say he had two frying pans for me.

“When I went to collect them, he surprised me with two big woks…I’ve painted one red and the other one is white.

“The sizes and colours lend a bit of variety.”

George says his main purpose is to recycle stuff for people’s pleasure, especially children.

“We had great fun photographing a local family’s baby Hugo amongst my display of mushrooms at home, and so did he.”

At 81-years-old, George remembers a time when kids played outside and used their imaginations to create their own magical

During the lunch, Ms Artery extended her thanks to all Branch Members, particularly Anne Frost (President and Op Shop Manager) and Murray Frost (Treasurer), Narelle Swanson (Secretary), Carol Bowhay (Assistant Treasurer), Shirley Johns (Assistant Op Shop Manager) and Jill Gill (Publicity Officer) for their tireless dedication to country

kids over the many years.

Coffs Harbour Branch Life Member Jill Gill gave Ms Artery a special scrapbook of many newspaper articles and history of the Royal Far West Coffs Harbour Branch dating back to 1989, which the then Secretary, Jean Owers, started and Ms Gill continued to complete.

Ms Gill also gave Royal Far West a handwritten notebook of a welfare officer of Royal Far West showing records of those who attended RFW in the 1950-1960s from the Coffs

ON Thursday 16 December Royal Far West’s (RFW) Kim Artery visited Coffs Harbour to host a lunch at C.eX for the local RFW Branch Members to thank them for their dedicated and unwavering support over the many years.

The lunch follows the closure of the Royal Far West Op Shop in November which had been running since 1963 and while it marks the end of an era the lunch was to commemorate and celebrate

Mr Baker said the Club had planned to build a new, bigger space on the site using a $100,000 grant for work for the dole before COVID-19, but the program was cancelled.

Instead, they persuaded Council not to pull the shed down and have turned it into their club rooms.

Mr Baker said, “Everything in here has been donated by the community.”

This includes a train layout, a television, fridge and the proverbial kitchen sink.

He said the Club will apply for a new grant.

The 28 members almost all had model train sets when they were young.

Alan Amos, who has been a member for 18 months, is an exception.

His connection with railways is that his father worked on them, and Mr Amos said he can still smell the steam train smoke.

However, like all of the other members, Mr Amos has his own layout set up at home.

“I enjoy the company,” he said.

The club members are very supportive of each other.

Geoff Francis, the Club’s Membership Officer said, “Everyone pitches in to help, and we learn from each other.”

In addition to the layout in the club room, there is another layout in a trailer that is taken to shows.

George Gardiner is a carpenter by trade, having completed his apprenticeship aged 14.

George said, “That is what I did my apprenticeship on.”

That machine is now 83-years-old, two years older than George itself.

Nourished by Nature a cookbook by Pandora

By Andrea FERRARI

PANDORA Colledge, Emerald Beach-based nutritionist, has added author to her achievements, becoming a first-time self-published creator of her own printed book.

Nourished by Nature cookbook shares the story of Pandora’s life in food and background as a nutritionist and vegan chef.

“The message is to bring more plants to your plate at a time when the planet is in crisis,” Pandora told News Of The Area.

“Eating and farming less animals is better for your health and the health of the planet according to the EAT Lancet Report 2019.”

Pandora has always loved cooking and sharing food, and with her understanding of how food nurtures the body she has developed a passion for seeing food as medicine.

Around 15 years ago she became qualified as a nutritionist and then went on to graduate as a vegan chef in Byron Bay. “The Nourished by Nature cookbook idea was conceived 30 years ago and finally birthed after 30 years’ gestation,” she said.

As a self-funded author, Pandora sought out a creative team she loved - her family.

“My daughter Montanna Coulson and partner Tom Hoy did the food styling and photography and Montanna did the graphic design for the whole book.”

Son-in-law Joel Brauer, a startup writer, was editor and proofreader for the book.

“A young burgeoning team with clear talent - I hope this book will give them well-earnt professional recognition.

“It is a privilege that the book was created on Gumbaynggirr Country,

where the Indigenous people were known for sharing of food, a tribute I make at the beginning of the book.

“This recipe book is about the love of sharing food with family and friends; nutritious, delicious and mouthwatering

COFFS Harbour Masters Swimming Club (CHMS) is rebuilding for several reasons, the club’s President Hilary Young, told News Of The Area.

“The motto of Fitness, Fun and Friendship comes about with swimming together,” said Hilary.

“If you’re over 18, you’re eligible.

“Some members challenge each other to go further and faster; other members like to get together on a social basis, encouraging each other just to swim to individual ability.

“Some like to do the same stuff in open air salt water, others like to do different stuff in chlorinated indoor pools.

“The options are many and varied.”

“At this point, CHMS is

trying to cater to the likes of all members after a fall-off in membership over the Covid period.

“If you’d like to swim with company, find someone of like interest and ability, or just get your fitness back, come along and check us out.”

There are four main areas of interest: • Train in a pool squad with a coach to get tips on technique and refresh new strokes.

• Test your individual endurance with the program of 62 set distance swims over 12 months.

• Aim at competition against swimmers of the same ability (not always comparable age) from local to far afield.

• Take a dip in the ocean, find security in a group, challenge different sea conditions.

Masters Swimming is a worldwide organisation with the structures in place to meet these interests.

“Most of our members have swum on undeterred during Covid restrictions individually or in small groups, in the ocean, Coffs Creek, and when the pool is reopened, with or without squads.

“Now we are trying to build the Club membership using all the available LGA pools to meet members’ needs and share the friendship.”

wider Asia Pacific region will be able to confidently travel to Coffs Harbour without border restrictions or the risk of cancelled flights,” Singh said.

The Coffs Coast Rally will be held on 25-27 November

2022.

Motorsport Australia and the FIA have also confirmed the Adelaide Hills Rally event will act as a qualifier for the APRC finale, meaning competitors who tackle the

forests of South Australia will be eligible to compete for the FIA crown in Coffs Harbour.

The Adelaide Hills Rally takes place in South Australia on 21-23 October.

SWIMMING is a way of life…

Coffs Coast to host APRC finale THE location for the final round of the RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship is locked in, with the event also hosting a significant international rally event.

The picturesque Coffs Coast will be home to the November event, the Coffs Coast Rally, with the round to double as the finale for the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship.

The best drivers from the Asia Pacific region will battle it out in the northern NSW town, including competitors from Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan and Indonesia to name just a few countries expected to be involved.

Made possible with the support of the NSW Government, the event will utilise roads that have featured in recent FIA World Rally Championship events, along with family friendly spectating opportunities planned.

The event will now be held

on 25-27 November, a week later than originally scheduled to maximise attendance.

Motorsport Australia Director of Motorsport and Commercial Operations Michael Smith thanked those who had contributed to the planning of the event so far, including the passionate support from the Coffs Harbour community.

“Coffs Harbour has been a favourite for all of us at Motorsport Australia and is certainly no stranger to hosting world class rally events, so we are pleased to be welcoming the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship finale to the Coffs Coast,” Smith said.

“We are really grateful to the NSW Government and the Coffs Coast Community for their continued support of this international event.

“With the round also doubling as the final for our own RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship, all eyes will be on Coffs Coast and New South Wales as we

crown our 2022 champions.”

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said NSW is once again hosting major events after a difficult year of lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions.

“After cancellations due to bushfires, storms and COVID-19, regional NSW deserves to host top class events like the Asia Pacific Rally Championship, and I want to thank Motorsport Australia for their commitment to Coffs Harbour,” Mr Toole said.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh announced Motorsport Australia and the NSW Government have agreed to roll over the funding allocated for the 2021 event to stage the hotly anticipated event next year.

“While it is disappointing this event could not be held in November as originally planned, hosting the event next year ensures competitors from New Zealand and the

A Year of Sport!

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 40

here, the playing surface and venue is excellent,” said Holbrook.

The Cronulla Sharks and Gold Coast Titans will return to Coffs Harbour on Saturday 18 June 2022 in a repeat of last season’s clash.

July was the homecoming of Kaitlan Leaney and Brianna Hoy who helped the NSW Waratahs win the Buildcorp Super W trophy in Coffs Harbour defeating the Queensland Reds 45-12 in the final.

Kaitlan and Brianna grew up in Coffs Harbour playing for

and against each other at the Coffs Harbour Snappers Rugby Union Club and the SCU Marlins Rugby Union Club and were cheered on every step of the way by their home crowd at C.ex International Stadium.

Kaitlan told News Of The Area about the amazing experience.

“Such an amazing experience that I’m incredibly grateful for.

“Bri and I were very lucky to have our family and friends there, it made the atmosphere so much fun and made all of the Tahs girls feel supported.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and to get the win on home soil made it so much sweeter,”

said Kaitlan.

For Brianna Hoy it was an experience she won’t forget.

“It was really a once in a lifetime experience, to see so many not only friends and family but supporters of women’s rugby out there was really amazing to see.

“And to be able to see the next generation of young boys and girls standing at the fence cheering, just as excited as I was at that age was very surreal.

“I felt extremely proud to have the competition in my hometown,” said Brianna.

In August home grown talent Locky Miller competed in the Tokyo Olympics scoring three tries for Australia in the Rugby 7s.

Upon his return to Coffs harbour,

Miller made the decision to change codes and signed a two year contract for the Cronulla Sharks.

The former Sawtell Panthers captain and SCU Marlins player will have plenty of home support for the Sharks’ match in June 2022.

As 2021 ends, major sporting action begins on the first day of 2022 when the Sydney Sixers play the Melbourne Renegades on New Year’s Day at C.ex Coffs International Stadium.

We have enjoyed capturing and sharing these moments in 2021 and look forward to more in 2022 - THANK YOU.

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires.

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

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