q Services have been held at St James Anglican Church Bowraville for the past 125 years.

By Mick BIRTLES

THE historic church of St James Anglican in Bowraville turns 125 on 7 January 2024 and celebrations are planned to mark this significant milestone.

A service of thanksgiving will take place at 10:00 am on the day and this will be followed by a cutting of a celebratory cake and refreshments on the church grounds.

Attendees will then move onto a luncheon and dedication of the upgraded St James Bowraville Church Hall.

The hall has had a number of recent improvements, such as quality air conditioning and a deck, thanks to the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program.

At the celebrations the hall improvements will be dedicated to the late Paul Weekly, a dedicated parishioner at St James and a much loved member of the broader Nambucca Valley community.

The team at St James would love to see parishioners, ex-parishioners, clergy, ex-clergy and interested members of the public come along to the lunch however they stress that you must notify of your attention to attend the luncheon for catering purposes.

Equitable health care access discussed at regional roundtables FROM Page 1 Cowper Pat Conaghan, who says access to adequate regional healthcare has been among the top three priorities reported by his constituents since he took office in 2019.

Three roundtable forums were held in Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Coffs Harbour.

“It was beneficial to have Anne here with us in the electorate to hear feedback firsthand from our passionate local professionals, and for her to be able to discuss the steps that she and the wider National Party team are already taking in the background to help address some of the more common pressure points across regional and rural Australia,” Mr Conaghan said.

While Mr Congahan admitted that the issues being discussed existed while the Coalition were in Government, he claimed the problems had been exacerbated by Federal Labor making policy changes with “metropolitan areas in mind”.

“The impacts, no matter how unintentional, are being felt hard in regions like ours,” Mr Congahan said.

“Changes like the recent Distribution Priority Area (DPA) updates that have opened the door for international medical graduate doctors to leave the regions for peri-urban settings.

“This has been a major factor in a reduction in GP clinics right across regional Australia, including our electorate,” Mr Conaghan said.

A common theme throughout the forums was worsening workforce shortages, with impacts felt by patients as well as local health and aged care providers and their staff.

Staff burnout and an inability to open facilities at capacity were common discussion points.

The need for employers to be able to source affordable housing and adequate childcare placements in order to attract staff was also tabled at each forum and site visit.

Additionally, unregistered NDIS providers were listed as a major contributing factor to the available workforce problem.

The lack of regulation around licensing criteria, as well as exorbitant hourly rates on offer when compared to the health care sector were of particular concern.

“We heard from every provider that they had lost staff to NDIS as they couldn’t compete with the hourly rate that some are able to charge without needing additional certification,” Mr Conaghan said.

The Ministers also paid a visit to the Riverside Gardens aged care home at Nambucca Heads while in the region.

“The visit by our Federal Member and the Shadow Assistant Minister for Regional Health was informative and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to canvass aged care policy issues and improvements,” NVC Group Chairman Janine Reed said.

“The NVC Group CEO q

“Aged care is a highly regulated industry, and it has become very burdensome and extremely expensive, particularly when it has become so difficult to source staff and our sector has to meet legislated care minutes for aged care home residents.

“NVC Group and the whole

sector is still experiencing financial impacts from COVID-19 and while the Federal Government’s COVID-19 grants have been reasonable, the application process to obtain funding was lengthy and it took six to twelve months to actually receive the funding in the bank.

“I thank our Federal Member for visiting to discuss with us how funding and policy for our sector

could be improved.”

Mr Conaghan and Dr Webster visited Riverside Gardens on Thursday 23 November and visited the facility’s kitchen, memory support wing, common areas such as the dining room and library, and they caught up with some residents doing afternoon activities in common areas.

On November 21, the Albanese Government announced a wide-ranging review to urgently investigate how to more equitably distribute doctors and other health workers around the country.

The Working Better for Medicare Review will look at how current policies and programs can be strengthened to make it easier to see a doctor, nurse or other health worker in the outer suburbs of our major cities and in regional, rural and remote Australia.

The Review will look at Medicare’s role in locating the workforce, as well as the three main policy levers used to distribute the workforce - the Modified Monash Model, District of Workforce Shortage, and Distribution

Priority Area.

The Working Better for Medicare Review will be led by nurse, advocate and remote health expert Professor Sabina Knight, and former senior health bureaucrat and academic Mick Reid.

The Review will be underpinned by extensive stakeholder engagement, with findings expected to be provided to government in mid-2024.

“The levers we have to spread doctors and health workers around the country are from a very different time, before the COVID pandemic and the global health workforce crunch,” Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler said.

“The Albanese Government will use all possible levers to encourage doctors and other health workers to be where patients need them to be – outside of cities and in areas of need.

“I am delighted that Mick and Sabina, two expert, independent reviewers, have accepted my invitation to guide the review and look forward to the outcomes of this important work.”

Region leading the nation in Defence to work transition

By Mick BIRTLES

LAST week representatives of the We’re Here - In the Nambucca Valley initiative attended an Australian Defence Force (ADF) Transition Seminar in Sydney.

Their intent was to showcase the Nambucca Valley as a welcoming location for those leaving the ADF and their families.

The We’re Here - In the Nambucca Valley initiative began in March 2019 and, remarkably, the Nambucca Valley is still the only district in Australia reaching out to those considering separating from the ADF. The ‘We’re Here’ initiative was born out of concerns held by Vietnam veterans Jim Cameron OAM and Wayne Mason OAM - regarding the plight of the current

generation of veterans.

Jim and Wayne wanted to show veterans that the Nambucca Valley was well worth considering as a location to move to with their families or as a place to live in retirement.

A significant factor of ‘We’re Here’ is that most major employers in the Nambucca Valley are supporting the initiative through guaranteeing job interviews to advertised vacancies for those leaving the ADF. At last week's ADF Transition Seminar, attended by over 400 ADF personnel and their partners, the We’re Here team spoke to around 50 attendees who had not previously considered relocation to the Nambucca Valley following their military service.

We’re Here’s Mr Todd Vercoe told News Of The Area, “Naturally the lifestyle aspect appealed to many people but the guaranteed job interviews and reasonable median house price in our district really got some people interested.”

The We’re Here team offer attendees a carry bag containing a specially produced booklet detailing the benefits of moving to the Nambucca Valley and a USB memory card that contains detailed information on the district.

The We’re Here committee is made up of volunteers from the executive of the four RSL sub-Branches in the Valley (Nambucca Heads, Macksville, Bowraville and Stuarts Point), the Deputy Mayor and representatives from Legacy and other veterans.

We're Here is supported, although not funded, by the Council and State

Since its official 2019 launch volunteers from the initiative have attended several ADF Transition Seminars in Newcastle,

Sydney and Brisbane, however seminars were halted during the pandemic.

“We would love to see more employers and businesses in the district who

want to get involved with this very unique initiative to email us at hereinnambucca@ gmail.com,” Mr Vercoe concluded.

Readers will learn the history of the Nambucca area, from the first European settlement, and discover how the opening of the station was a boon to the area's development.

"The most important part of the book was taking down stories from people who lived at the station as families of fettlers and finding out just what an active small community it was," Rachel Burns told News Of The Area.

"It was an honour to record their stories for posterity."

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan was presented with a copy of the book and expressed his eagerness to read it.

Public anti-blueberry meeting held

By Ned COWIE MORE than 140 people gathered at the Macksville Ex-services Club last Wednesday night to discuss problems associated with blueberry farms in the Nambucca Valley.

The meeting was addressed by two Nambucca Valley Council members - Susan Jenvey and David Jones - and was organised by the newly formed Nambucca Environment Network (NEN).

The meeting was chaired by administrators for the NEN group and was largely held in the form of a public

debate with audience members putting forth opinions, experiences and concerns they held regarding the practice of non-organic blueberry farming.

Many of the community held concerns about health, property values, and the ecology of soils and waterways in the Nambucca Valley.

When one speaker proposed that blueberry farmers go “organic” the room erupted in cheers, indicating that one of the main problems perceived by this group was the use of non-organic pesticides and chemical fertilisers by some intensive farming operations.

Some attendees raised concerns that industrial style

blueberry farming destroyed land for future use and that patches of land used in this way now sit sterile and empty in the Woolgoolga area north of Coffs Harbour.

Councillors Jenvey and Jones each took a turn to address the crowd, attempting to explain problems Council faces in trying to limit or control blueberry farming in the area.

“I’m very passionate about sustainable agriculture,” said Councillor Jenvey.

“Who wants to see a paddock of black plastic?” she added rhetorically.

While admitting there was not much that could be done by Council about

“It’s got to be seen to be believed,” Ian told News Of The Area.

“Plants have their own complex phytochemical immune systems and if supplied with the minerals and microbes they need, plants can ‘grow out’ of being affected by pests.

“This is an exciting and simple, no-tox way of growing organic food, and these recipes cost almost nothing to make.”

This is the first time Ian will share this premium material in a by-donation workshop.

“I’m wanting to help equip more people with the awareness that this is even possible and how to easily do it.

“Prevention is by far my favourite form of pest management, and it’s by reading the plants that we’re shown where to pick up our game.

“Healthier plants have more minerals and taste

forward, we can do better in future”.

She also reminded attendees that councils were limited by state legislation on horticulture in agricultural zones.

Ms Jenvey encouraged the audience to write to State Government ministers concerned with agricultural and planning matters.

Public frustrations with perceived legislative inaction on the issue boiled over into shouting or uncontrolled emotions several times, prompting calls for calm from within the audience.

News Of The Area contacted one real estate agent from the Woolgoolga area, who did not wish to be identified, to confirm some of the details raised regarding land values and the unsaleability of land previously used for blueberry

farming.

In more than a dozen years of selling real estate and working in the Woolgoolga area, the agent had never heard of land that was unsaleable and ‘dead’ after blueberry farming.

He said the area had previously held a lot of banana plantations and these had now been converted to blueberries only over the last ten to fifteen years.

None of these properties usually came up for sale, being still in use as blueberry farms.

For those who wish to participate in discussions on blueberry farming, a Facebook page has been established and can be found through a search of Nambucca Environment Network or at www.facebook.com/groups/ 24524666243813967/.

Dog lover frustrated with irresponsible pet owners

By Ned COWIE

media@newsofthearea.com.au

EVERY morning Liane takes her morning walk along the Nambucca Heads V-Wall and finds it a challenge to dodge what other dog owners have left behind.

“Pick up your dog poop!” is her message to other dog owners.

But Liane is not advocating for more restrictions on dog owners - far from it.

Instead, she would like to see dogs allowed into more businesses, like pubs and cafes.

“I know that dogs are allowed outside at some cafes,” she tells News Of The Area, “but how about letting them into beer gardens and making an inside section at some cafes.

“I feel like the Valley is quite unfriendly to dogs and yet almost every household seems to have a dog.”

According to Dogs Australia, the benefits of owning and caring for a dog are well documented and backed up by peer-reviewed research.

Dog owners enjoy a great range of health benefits from greater chance of surviving heart attacks, improved cardiovascular health and lower blood pressure to less allergies in children and fewer respiratory infections.

Many studies have shown that dog owners

walk more and are more physical in general.

Prize winning local coffee growers

By Andrea FERRARI

FIVE medals have been awarded to Mid North Coast specialty coffee growers, Painted Blue Coffee, at the prestigious Golden Bean Australian and New Zealand competition.

Founders of Painted Blue Coffee at Grassy Head, Charelle Harkins and Dan Klingsporn, are justly proud of their success.

Golden Bean is the world's largest coffee roasting competition and attracts the best of the best in the coffee roasting industry.

The competition and the awards were held at Serenity Resort, Diamond Beach on the Mid North Coast.

A four-day session of workshops, judging and networking from November 14-18 saw the Australasian contenders battle it out, with over 1100 coffees entered.

“The awards are so much more than a competition.

“We love attending as it’s a great opportunity to get feedback on our product, learn from the bigger and more experienced companies, slurp more than our fair

share of coffee, pick up tips, industry trends, collaborate and meet new amigos,” Charelle told News Of The Area.

“The entries we chose to submit showcased a selection of our blends, organic single origins and our decaf coffee.

“Being awarded for our coffee is such a buzz; two silvers is very impressive, combine that with a Hawaiian theme for the awards night… what’s not to love?”

The five awards included two prestigious silver med-

als: one in espresso and one in milk-based coffee.

Two bronze medals were won in the milk-based category and the third bronze was in the decaf category.

“These awards demonstrate the dedication we have to our product and our passion to continually strive for the highest quality based on feedback and refinement.”

Also celebrating the roastery’s sixth birthday in November, the coffee enthusiasts shared their 2024 dream

with NOTA. “We hope to supply and support more local and regional businesses with our product, showcasing more of what our Mid North Coast has to offer; expand on the number of seedlings and coffee trees in establishment with private landowners in our area and continue to roast with precision and passion, providing exceptional specialty products, that remain affordable and accessible.”

Locally, they will play the Backroom at The Coffs Hotel on Saturday 2 December.

Blind Pretty was selected from over 150 acts across regional NSW who applied for support to MusicNSW. Artists were asked to

submit their assets, including live performance videos.

Ali Buckley, the Regional Coordinator for the Mid North Coast, Upper Hunter and Orana regions told News Of The Area, “Blind Pretty really stood out as an emerging, tour-ready act.

“Blind Pretty were partnered with indie acts Lucky Day (Muswellbrook), Yazmindi (Bryon Bay), and The Urban Chiefs (Tamworth) to go on tour.”

“We also have a new venture led by one of our newer members, Alan Gee, who specialises in madrigals and a group of our enthusiastic voices will present three madrigals.”

The performance will also showcase their accomplished soloists and other small groups and the repertoire for the afternoon is set to include timeless classical pieces such as Ave Verum and Panis Angelicus.

The audience can also expect to be delighted by the very stirring Goin’ Home

by Dvorak, a setting of the William Blake poem Tiger Tiger and classics such as El Shaddai, Waiting for the Light to Shine, Lean on Me and Stand

By Me. As an added treat for concert goers, local composers Paul and Bonnie Jarman will have two of their compositions

performed by the Singers.

Classics from the Heart will be presented at 2:00 pm

THE Macksville Memoir Writers recently published their second anthology of stories, ‘For the Record: Memories of Lives WellLived’, presenting a copy to the Macksville and Nambucca libraries.

“The 70 stories in this volume chronicle a broad spectrum of the writers' lives, from family memories, to school days, to first boyfriends, to favourite childhood books – and many more,” said Robin Hammond, Macksville Memoir Writers.

“There are even a few somewhat raunchy tales involving nakedness!

“The stories are illustrated with photos and sketches.

“These writers, in their long and eventful lives have hunted crocodiles, sailed down the Nile, been the subject of black assemblies, and more –

“Many of these items will be for sale.”

There is also a People’s Choice competition running over the weekend.

“Mid North Coast Woodworkers is a group of like-minded men and women who meet regularly to pursue their interest in making things with wood,” Paul said.

Members of the club engage in all types of woodworking activities, furniture making, woodturning, intarsia, jewellery boxes, bandsaw boxes and carving.

“In the last three years members of the club have won a number of competitions, for example Noelene Carter.”

Noelene has entered the Australian Scroll Saw competition twice in the last three years and won on both occasions for her Intarsia work (making pictures from small pieces of wood).

No paint or stain is used and the colours you see are the natural colours of different timber species.

Some winning items will be on display and featured in the raffle.

FOR those who were fortunate enough to see the Bowraville Theatre Singers earlier this year presenting their ‘Five Years That Shook the World’ concerts, you could be forgiven for thinking that they had delivered a performance that would be near impossible to top.

In the months since their last sold-out concert series, the Singers’ musical director, Lissa Argue, and the rest of this talented ensemble, have once again put together a production that is destined to thrill audiences all over again.

“We try to present very different repertoires that appeal to different musical tastes in our choir and also our audiences and this repertoire is very different, presenting our more classical repertoire but also lighter spirituals and songs,” Lissa Argue told News

Macksville Christmas Carols

by Candlelight 2023

By Andrea FERRARI

CHRISTMAS wouldn’t be Christmas without the Macksville Christmas Carols

by Candlelight, and they’re back this year on Sunday 17 December starting at 7pm, with gates open at 6pm.

This tradition, dating back 36 years, is the local Salvation Army's way to say thank you to the community for their support throughout the year, to spread Christmas cheer in the valley and a great reminder of what Christmas is all about.

It’s a whopping event attracting some 4,000 friends and families every year.

Taking place at Macksville Park (football oval), the event is free entry, as always, with the Salvos asking for a donation at the entrance gate, with monies raised going directly back into the Nambucca Valley community through the Salvos’ welfare program.

“Major supporter Jason and his team from the local Mitre10 at Macksville have generously supported the carols for the last nine years for which we are truly grateful,” a Salvos volunteer told News Of The Area.

“People come in matching Christmas outfits, with all sorts of Christmas

paraphernalia that lights up, flashes and shines, with their picnic rugs and chairs ready to ‘get their Christmas on’ and sing some carols.”

Every year the kids’ favourite activities on-site are the local Rivervewe stable where kids can pat sheep, the Santa Claus appearance and his Christmas cave, and

Around 200 bikes usually take part each year with riders encouraged to dress in the Christmas theme as well as decking out their bikes in the spirit of Christmas.

"It seems every year that goes by more and more families in our community are finding it harder and harder to survive and we have met many, because of rent rises and increasing costs of living, find themselves for the first time wondering not just how they are going to get through Christmas, but life,” Major Andrew Van Gaalen of the Salvation Army told News Of The Area.

“We try our best over this Christmas period to bring a bit of joy back into their lives by striving to make toys available for the children as well as supporting the families with food provisions and this is made possible by the support of our amazing community who are rallied together by the Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group

each year.”

Major Andrew Van Gaalen of the Salvation Army can be contacted on 02 6652 8777 or email andrew. vangaalen@salvationarmy. org.au for donations prior or after the event.

He will be available on

the day as well to accept the donations from all the bike riders and the general public who wish to contribute.

Families that don’t own a motorcycle are more than welcome to turn up at the park with donations and join in the BBQ while admiring

the effort people put into helping out the Salvation Army and the families doing it tough around the Mid North Coast.

Toy run patches are for sale during the day from the Harley Owners Group treasurer and secretary, with

donations being given to the Salvos at the conclusion of the BBQ. To find out more please contact the Director of the Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group, Dennis Pearce, on 0412 337 695.

I support the native forest timber industry

DEAR News Of The Area,

I WOULD like to thank Warren Tindall (‘Forest extinctions’, NOTA 24/11/2023) for his critique of my letter (‘In support of multiple-use forests’, NOTA 17/11/2023).

I firmly stand by my sentiments and remarks.

I didn’t realise that apparent credentials such as ‘skin in the timber game’ or scientific evidence, were pre-requisites for expressing support of native forests and the

timber industry.

Some of my knowledge of forests has come from numerous field trips, conferences and journals, but my main source of first-hand information is my husband, a third-generation native forest timber worker.

For over 40 years he worked in all native forest timber types across NSW. Does that qualify for ‘skin in the timber game’?

I’ll leave the presentation of scientific evidence about our

ecologically sustainable native forests to experts like DPI principal Research Scientist Dr Brad Law and of course, the NSW Forestry Corporation (Dr Law’s research findings are on the DPI and NRC websites).

My primary motivation in writing the letter was to point out the many benefits that multiple-use native forests provide; and the jobs and skills along the timber industry supply chain that would be tragically lost if native forest logging is phased out or banned in NSW, as it is in

Western Australia and Victoria.

An article in last week’s NOTA 24/11/2023, ‘Veteran sawmill owner makes impassioned plea to Nambucca Valley Council’, highlights the reality of this dire situation.

A recent independent, publicly available, report by Ernst and Young into the economic significance of the NSW hardwood timber industry to the State’s economy, reveals that the North East region of NSW supplies almost two thirds of the State’s hardwood timber and employs 5,700

national parks territory” and implied that nothing was done to combat them for three weeks.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service annually undertakes more than 70 percent of the total acreage of hazard reduction burning in NSW. The contribution of the forestry industry is somewhat smaller.

National Parks and Wildlife Service staff work closely with local Rural Fire Service brigades and Forestry Corporation crews to attack, suppress and extinguish

forest wildfires throughout the local area.

After studying the fire footprint of the Black Summer fires, acclaimed Australian Ecologist, Professor David Lindenmayer, found that logging elevated the risk of these high-severity fires.

According to Professor Lindenmayer, logged forests always burn at greater severity than intact forests.

While Forest Corp does burn some forest slash after clear fall operations, the private native

forestry jobs on private land holdings, favoured by some local sawmillers, rarely are burnt after the loggers move through and go.

Almost all Australians would strongly support the growth and development of a sustainable plantation-based hardwood timber industry.

It is time to acknowledge that the old way is broken.

Our public native forests are almost exhausted of large sawlogs because of over exploitation.

It is time for the timber

Time to acknowledge the old way is broken

DEAR News Of The Area,

BOWRAVILLE sawmill owner Matt Dyer’s recent reported comments (NOTA 24/11/23), as written by your correspondent Ned Cowie, regarding National Parks, fires and the Black Summer holocaust, demand a response.

Mr. Dyer is quoted as recommending that “National Parks change their policy” about hazard reduction burning and that the fires began on “the

So, the economic and social impact of ceasing native forest logging is abundantly clear.

We can, and should, grow our magnificent native timbers, not just pine trees, as a crop, and no longer take it from our native forests at the expense of our unique and precious wildlife.

DEAR Jasminda, My new flatmate has an aversion to creepy crawlies whereas I'm a live and let live sort of person.

How can I convince her that bugs and insects have a right to survive too?

Gary’s Supreme Court gamble SUSAN’S husband passed-away many years ago.

She has three children and six grandchildren.

When Susan passes-away at the age of 85, her will leaves the whole of her estate to her three children equally.

All three children are appointed as executors and obtain a grant of probate.

Susan’s estate is valued at $1.5 million.

Gary, one of the grandchildren, makes a “family provision” claim against the estate.

Gary claims that he is eligible to make a claim because he could establish that he was a grandchild who was partly dependent upon Susan and further, in the circumstances of their relationship, he was a “natural object of recognition”.

Gary asks the Court to award him $250,000 on the basis that at the age of 45, he had accumulated no substantial assets.

Gary says that he has immediate needs, that he requires a fund to pay for his accommodation and medical costs together with a general contingency fund to meet his unforeseen future expenses.

In assessing the evidence adduced during the course of a two-day hearing, the Court finds that Gary was partly dependent upon Susan because he lived with her rent-free, including the five years before Susan’s death.

The Court accepts that Susan did the cooking and attended to the domestic chores during these times.

However, the Court found that Gary’s assistance to his grandmother was “fairly minimal” and that in an exercise of the Court’s discretion, in light of community expectations, found that Susan’s obligations to Gary did not extend beyond providing him with the total sum of $70,000.

Finally, the Court noted that during the course of the hearing, Gary admitted to suffering from an “addiction to gambling” and on that basis, ordered that Gary’s award is to be held on protective trust whereby Gary can only access income and capital of the fund by making “reasonable” requests to the trustee.

The middle ground for logging is in sight DEAR News Of The Area,

WHEN I wrote about finding the middle ground to logging issues in April the cracks were showing.

Now there are full blown holes gaping in our community.

I don't want to lose our forests in the state they are, but I also don't want one timber or forest worker to lose their job.

In fact, I believe we need more people managing our forest, not less.

The people who work timber know the roads, the trees, the equipment and machinery, and are an undisputable asset.

The fact is the forests need so much management due to most previous funding being around extraction.

That isn't anyone's fault but policies which none of us here created.

The thing is we are all (I believe) arguing the same point, no matter which side of the fence you choose to sit.

As professor David Bowman, Professor of Pyrogeography and Fire Science from the University of Tasmania stated, regrowth is more likely to burn, so it goes without saying that logging established trees of any quality and replanting them with new ones is increasing fire risk.

This may work when done at

We need insects. There's no doubt about it.

They play a huge role, not least as pollinators and decomposers.

I've always found it amusing that people are petrified of bugs but not petrified of the health risks when spraying enough contaminants to rival But there are definitely solutions.

Actually, I believe we're strategically placed as a community to excel in private forest management, on private land.

This place knows timber.

In the meantime we need our workers to keep working if they want to.

In order to do that our public forests must be funded differently, shifting focus from extraction to management.

Where logging does take place it's got to be back to real selective logging right now, even in plantations.

This will ensure the canopy is maintained which will keep the temperature down.

All public areas which contain highly valuable habitat for multiple threatened species should be avoided until we understand their role.

For example, possums are the best pollinators as their hair catches pollen better than birds

for servicing a dud car is not responsible for the outcomes, or a teacher who delivers an approved but flawed education program is not responsible for the outcomes either.

If the professional forest planner is not responsible for ecologically sustainable forest management, who is?

Somewhere in the complex labyrinth of the bureaucracy of forest management in NSW and indeed Australia there must be someone who can be held accountable.

Half the fight for the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) to get to

court to launch the case over Braemar and Myrtle was to establish they had the standing to even challenge this lowest level of the bureaucratic maze.

Who could be expected to have the capacity to challenge the more substantial parts of this sprawling construct of forestry administration (which includes a Corporation, a Commission, an Authority, a Department and more).

Well NEFA may just do it again.

Who can save the trees?

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE NSW Land and Environment Court found on Monday that the harvest planner who signed off the harvest plans which decided what trees could be felled in Braemar and Myrtle State Forests was not accountable for meeting the legal requirement for maintaining ecologically sustainable forest management in those forests and that responsibility fell elsewhere.

It is like saying the service manager responsible

Following the March 2021, February 2022 and June 2022 severe storms and flooding, the Nambucca Valley Local Government Area (LGA) received Natural Disaster Declarations resulting in the State and Commonwealth providing funding support to help with the cost of cleaning up and restoring damaged road and essential public assets.

The majority of Council’s road network has been impacted to some extent, which has resulted in an unprecedented amount of repairs to undertake. Council is aware there are numerous potholes, corrugations and gravel loss on some roads.

Proudly brought to you by News Of The Area and Nambucca Valley Council

• Council has recorded 67 significant landslip events that will require remediation through the LGA, with an estimated repair cost in the order of $40million and further information is available on landslip damages via an interactive map located on Council’s website by following the Disaster Recovery link.

• Since the March 2021 flooding, the damage bill to date has been in excess of $4.4million predominately directed toward our emergency relief works on the road network. These works are still on-going.

Council’s flood recovery program is a multi-faceted process involving the co-ordination of a number of specialised consultants, contractors, scarce materials and receiving funding approval. Council has its own teams and contractors engaged to undertake repairs to urban and rural sealed road network as well as the unsealed road network prioritising high speed roads, higher use roads and bus routes.

Dear Adele,

a small scale or spread over multiple properties.

However current plantation clearfell management is intensifying fire risk by providing thousands of hectares of regrowth all at once (such as in Newry SF between Valla and Urunga).

Native forest has similar regrowth issues as now harvestable areas are allowed to be all-but clear felled.

For example Conglomerate SF 'selective logging' retained 10m² per 10,000m² of trees (yes that's one percent left).

Regulations changed which meant what once had the potential to become a sustainable industry again is quite literally being incinerated.

Over half of what is being taken from the current logging sites, both native forest and plantation, is wastage or low quality.

Not left to mature or as habitat, but burnt on site or taken to be chipped, pulped, or made into disposable pallets.

However, it would be beyond the pail of stupidity to lose our timber workers.

Removing these people will directly increase fire risk by taking away our communities ability to manage the forests.

I worry that industrialisation from both timber and tourism giants threatens the functionality of this place and the forests which divide and unite our townships.

PET OF THE MONTH Oscar:

Adele B.

Fukushima.

There are some natural alternatives to fly/mosquito spray - citronella is a popular choice.

If it's a spider that's causing the issue, you can simply get it to crawl onto a piece of paper or enclose it in a jar and then take it outside where it will do a great job of keeping other bugs at bay.

Cockroaches are natural composters, but I'll admit I don't like seeing them scuttling across the floorboards.

Check for any places they might be sneaking in (in our house that would be the front door, since apparently our children were born in a tent), keep your kitchen clean and free of food scraps, and don't have composting systems too close to your house otherwise you'll make them think they are welcome guests.

Carpe diem, Jasminda. and bees do.

We don't know what happens if we take them out of the forests.

For those who argue we need more timber now, we also need more timber in the future.

Wasting half of mixed-hardwood seeded forests which are already nearly 60 years old, and replacing the wasted immature trees with brand new saplings, certainly doesn't get us there. Stopping this wastage being allowed and removing low quality yield in general (unless truly leftover from a high quality saw log) we have a big step towards a consensus from everyone.

Our locals desperately need to be valued in the bush they know best and that counts for everyone.

We all want the same thing forests which work.

So the solution isn't one or the other, it's all together now.

Regards, Jodie ARMYTAGE, Valla.

Accessing the right medical treatment at the right time

MACKSVILLE Medical Centre is proud to be part of North Coast Health Connect (NCHC), a free health service rolled out earlier this year to connect locals with the right medical treatment at the right time, aimed at freeing up emergency departments for people in need.

North Coast Health Connect (NCHC) provides free 24/7 advice from a trained nurse by phone or live chat for anyone with a health concern.

“If you have a health concern that you need advice for or need addressed quickly you can call North Coast Health Connect at any time of

the day or night for free advice,” said Ally Pope, Engagement Manager of Amplar Health, who is delivering this program.

Ally, who has over 35 years’ experience as a registered nurse, including triage work, advises you can phone for any health concerns.

“Whether it’s your baby unable to settle at 3am, or you have concerns of a persistent headache, we will try and navigate you to the right solution, at the right time, including booking you into a GP appointment within two hours.

“You can speak to a qualified nurse who will offer advice on what to do with your health

inquiry, and if you require treatment, they will connect you with the appropriate health care provider, a pharmacist or directly book you an appointment with a local GP. “I believe we’re the only organisation in Australia that has nurses, who are able to book local GP appointments directly for you,” she added.

This pilot program is funded by Healthy North Coast and delivered by Amplar Health in partnership with participating pharmacies, hospitals and general practices between Laurieton and Tweed Heads.

“Accessing appropriate healthcare when it is needed

can be challenging in our region,” said Casey Shorter, Practice Manager at the Macksville Medical Centre, which is a participating GP provider in the NCHC program in the Nambucca Valley.

“With just one phone call, patients are triaged by a registered nurse, and if they are assessed as needing to see a doctor, they can be provided a bulk-billed appointment with a GP at Macksville Medical Centre.

“By utilising the service, you could avoid an unnecessary trip to the emergency department.”

Anyone with a health concern can call North Coast Health Connect at

any time on 1800 198 888 or live chat at www.

Three weeks after winning the regional final, the students flew to Sydney to compete in the State finals, where, with only three hours to organise their major challenge solution and presentation, the judges

visited their preparation space, adding a ‘spontaneous’ challenge.

“After yet another outstanding effort, NHPS was judged to be the top performing team and was awarded first in the state.

“They were screaming with excitement when the state final places were announced and the students learned they would be heading to the International final in Melbourne in October,” said NHPS Principal Kate Battiston.

With tight organisation

and lots of family support, the excited students and their mentor teachers boarded the plane to Melbourne in early October for the experience of a lifetime, meeting students from all over Australia and New Zealand, where they traded team badges and shared many challenging adventures around Melbourne over four days, including a ‘race around

the world’, a Melbourne city version.

Nambucca students celebrate Tournament of Minds success

By Jen HETHERINGTON

NAMBUCCA Heads Public School (NHPS) students recently celebrated remarkable success by taking part in the annual Tournament of Minds (TOM), an international academic competition challenging students to solve authentic, open-ended tasks set in the disciplines of the arts, language literature, social sciences, and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The team included Hamish Rhind, Detroit Scott, Josie Tate, Krissa Smith, Alora Johnson, Bailey Green and Ashley Mitcham, who are in Year 6 at NHPS, with two years of dedicated mentoring with teachers Lyell Patton and Melinda Davies.

Melinda was delighted to announce, “Following six weeks of dedication, commitment and teamwork under the guidance of their teachers, they earned first place honours at the regional competition held in Port Macquarie on th September 2023.”

The theme for the STEM challenge this year was set on an island where most of its rare bird life had been lost and the TOM team were

“They are no doubt equipped to problem-solve any obstacle and become the leaders of our future,” he said.

NHPS sincerely thanks United Pacific Engineering, Nambucca Glass & Aluminium, Nambucca Plumbing, the Nambucca Heads RSL Club and the Nambucca Lions Club for their kind donations and financial support in helping these students get to Melbourne.

2024 Youth Parliament NSW applications now open THE Nambucca Valley’s youth leaders are invited to apply to participate in the Y NSW’s Youth Parliament program in 2024, with submissions opening on 24 November.

Young people in Years 10, 11 and 12 (or equivalent age) in all 93 NSW state electorates are invited to express interest.

The Y (formerly YMCA) Youth Parliament provides a unique platform for individuals to actively participate in the democratic process and advocate for issues that they are passionate about.

The Y NSW is calling on young people from across the state to get involved.

No experience is required, and people from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply, with financial sponsorships open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people living with a disability, individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, those experiencing financial hardship, living in out-ofhome care or rural areas, and refugee and asylum-seekers.

“At the Y, we believe in

the power of inspired young people and Youth Parliament offers the opportunity for our youth to learn about the parliamentary system, develop critical thinking and public speaking skills, and engage in constructive debates about issues that matter to them and their communities,” explained Executive Director/ Interim CEO of the Y NSW, Prue Warrilow.

“Participants will have the chance to draft, debate, and advocate for mock youthfocused legislation, gaining invaluable insights into the workings of government and policy development.

“Young parliamentarians also participate in a training camp in April and a sitting held in July in NSW Parliament next year.

“The Y then works actively to coordinate opportunities for the participants to present their Youth Bills to Ministers and other community leaders for consideration,” continued Ms Warrilow.

Youth Parliament has supported more than 1,000 participants over the last

decade with 97 percent of participants surveyed saying they felt more empowered to advocate for issues in their local communities.

Testament to the value of the program, former Youth Parliamentarians have gone on to become Members of Parliament and community leaders of influence and return to the Youth Parliament program as guests and mentors.

“We are particularly excited to welcome and encourage participation from young leaders of diverse backgrounds and those living in rural and remote communities, whose unique perspectives and experiences play a crucial role in shaping the discussions and policies at the Youth Parliament," added Ms Warrilow.

"Their active engagement and representation are vital in ensuring that the voices of all youth, regardless of location, are heard and considered in the decision-making processes that will affect our collective future," she continued.

Young people in Years 10, 11 and 12 across the state are invited to express interest.

Rachel was part of the NSW 2023 Women’s Committee who put forward a bill to support mothers’ reintegration into the workforce after maternity leave.

“The Youth Parliament program provides the unique opportunity to not only connect with people who have various perspectives, but who are willing to debate diplomatically about social

issues,” explained Ms Lao. “I think that it’s really encouraging to see the activism of our generation.

Youth Parliament teaches participants how to lead and engage in debate that is productive and has the potential to make change.

“The connections and friendships I have made through Youth Parliament this year are invaluable and I know that my peers will be

Family First.

Supporters came from as far away as the Nambucca Valley and Grafton to hear his message.

“I am deeply concerned about the state of the nation,” said Mr Shelton.

“Our economic and social decline is extremely serious and it’s easy to feel hopeless and depressed facing down the wokeness and cultural Marxism of our society when we are led by politicians who can’t even define a ‘woman’ let alone a ‘family’,” he said.

Family First captured 3.1 percent of the vote at the most recent Mulgrave by-election in Melbourne which Mr Sheldon says is “very credible for a minor party” and keeps him hopeful of scoring senate seats in future elections.

The party was recently registered in Victoria and is

in the process of registering in Queensland and NSW, Mr Shelton told NOTA. Mr Shelton is well known to Christian audiences having spent five years as the boss of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) before resigning to take up a position with the now-defunct Christian Democratic Party in 2021.

Family First represents a new and independent venture into the political landscape for Mr Shelton.

The party hopes to attract not only Christians but people of all faiths who support Judeo-Christian principles.

According to its website, Family First exists to “restore Australia by restoring the primacy of the family in public policy”.

“Marriage and family should be the basis for civil society,” Mr Shelton told his

“The west is currently at a position where it could decline or it can renew.”

Mr Shelton is also opposed to ‘Net Zero’ policies which he says unfairly deny electricity to the poor people of the world and are in part, he says, responsible for the high prices of electricity in Australia.

WEEK ENDING SATURDAY 25TH NOVEMBER 2023.

This week we received some misty rain over a few days, players since Wednesday afternoon will have experienced what a truck load of Chook Poo shipped from Tamworth can do for a couple of our fairways that were in need of some natural nutrients. Thanks to our “Steptoes” volunteers, whose recycling of around 42,000 bottles and cans since 2016, have contributed to funding the cost of this project. This week’s featured sponsor was Nambucca Valley Care – thank you!

Stableford was won by Nathaniel Beverley (13) with 39 points from Justine Higgins (30) from Kempsey with 38 points. Other good scores from Warwick Lean 37 & Jim Mitchell 36, with the Ball Rundown to 30 points on c/b.

NTP’s went to our fabulous Chef Craig Mattick on 5, Troy Herbert on 7, Elizabeth Hobday on 8, Leslie Mohr on 13 “Pizza Hole”, Jim Mitchell got Stu’s ball on 15, and Hans Jansen won the Pro Pin Jackpot with 235cms on 18.

The Women played a Single Stableford on Wednesday. Martine Murray (21) won Division 1 (0 to 24) with 37 points from Henny Oldenhove (16) with 34 points. Division 2 (25 to 30)

was won by Debra Gersbach (28) with 38 points on c/b from Heather Gray (25). In Division 3 (31 to 45) , Fiona Chaffey (35) won with 35 points from Kerry Shearer (37) with 34 points. The Ball Rundown to 31 points on c/b.

NTP’s to Henny Oldenhove, Susan Barnett & Fiona Chaffey on 5, Susan Barnett collected the “Pizza This” voucher on 13, and a very surprised Coral McCann took home the Pro Pin Jackpot on 18.

Thursday’s Medley Stableford was played in drizzly conditions, which seemed to enhance the aroma of freshly applied chook poo, and some players revelled in the conditions. Anthony Smith (10) was not bothered

handicaps from their gross score.

Winners with an exceptional net 53.4 was the team of Matt Smith, Murray Smith and Dean Hillery.

Runners up were Adam Paddle, Andrew Shearer and Michael McMahon.

Longest drive was Nesta Walker who could have had a packed lunch before he got to his ball for the next shot.

Straight shooters with nearest the pins were Allan Clarke (A), Brian Brabant (B), Tod Bartlett (C grade)

and Abby Urquhart winning the ladies.

Tuesday' s ladies Stableford event resulted in Nikki Laird winning with Rhonda McAuliffe finishing runner up.

Mick O'Brien won the Mid Week Competition from Matt Baker with Jeff Gore 2nd runner up.

For the first time two ladies featured in the Chook Run . Jessica Lambert came in ahead of runner up Carla Ross.

Machine needed a bit of a grease as Darcy won 25-16.

The crowd was expecting The Machine to make a comeback like he had before but it was snuffed out by quality draw bowls.

In the other game Angry played great bowls to beat Red Dog 25-7.

Red Dog never really got going in the conditions but Angry was deadly.

On Sunday and before a very good crowd Darcy

lined up against Angry and I had the pleasure to mark the game - and what a game it was.

The score was tight up to the 13th end with Darcy leading 12-11.

Darcy then picked up the next 5 ends out of 6 to jump out to a 20-12 lead, then Angry won the next 5 ends to get back to 20-19.

They then scored a 1 each before Darcy picked up a 4 to give him his third title.

Darcy also had another win because he and The Terminator Adam, his son, had both the winner and second place in the calcutta.

So a good day all round for the Rostron household.

Harbour Bridge Club who were made very welcome.

Richard created a friendly stress-free environment as this was a tricky topic.

The session was very interactive and included calculating raw scores, converting them into each pair's position for each hand played, calculating the match points per hand and then the total match points earned which determines each pair's final percentage and how their final position is worked

out.

At the end of the session, everyone agreed they have a much better understanding and can now see that their final position in a game isn't only related to their performance but how they performed against other pairs playing the same hands.

PET OF THE MONTH

Following the March 2021, February 2022 and June 2022 severe storms and flooding, the Nambucca Valley Local Government Area (LGA) received Natural Disaster Declarations resulting in the State and Commonwealth providing funding support to help with the cost of cleaning up and restoring damaged road and essential public assets.

www.nambucca.nsw.gov.au

The majority of Council’s road network has been impacted to some extent, which has resulted in an unprecedented amount of repairs to undertake. Council is aware there are numerous potholes, corrugations and gravel loss on some roads.

Proudly brought to you by News Of The Area and Nambucca Valley Council

• Council has recorded 67 significant landslip events that will require remediation through the LGA, with an estimated repair cost in the order of $40million and further information is available on landslip damages via an interactive map located on Council’s website by following the Disaster Recovery link.

• Since the March 2021 flooding, the damage bill to date has been in excess of $4.4million predominately directed toward our emergency relief works on the road network. These works are still on-going.

Oscar:

Council’s flood recovery program is a multi-faceted process involving the co-ordination of a number of specialised consultants, contractors, scarce materials and receiving funding approval. Council has its own teams and contractors engaged to undertake repairs to urban and rural sealed road network as well as the unsealed road network prioritising high speed roads, higher use roads and bus routes. Should you know of a road that is in poor or unsafe condition please call Council on (02) 6568 2555 and report it.

Oscar is a large male white and black Tom cat that loves his food and talking, his age is unknown. Oscar We thank the community for their patience and understanding and remind residents and road users to is currently not desexed, microchipped or registered. drive to the road conditions as maintenance works continue around the Nambucca Valley LGA. Adoption fee for 2023/2024 is $200 and this includes microchipping, vaccination, desexing & lifetime registration.

TEN, 6.30pm

The main ingredient in this no-fuss cooking series is, of course, chef Jamie Oliver and his exuberant style. Peppered with endless enthusiasm and a generous sprinkling of zealous commentary– “Come on!” he quips, Lleyton Hewitt style, and his “Look at that!” is perhaps slightly superfluous – it’s nonetheless a winning recipe.

It’s easy to fall under Oliver’s engaging spell, especially when he’s so keen to do us all a favour and “keep the flavour up, and the cost down”. In tonight’s budget specialities, there’s a meal that makes use of pantry staples and a frozen-berry crumble, as well as takeaway-style homemade crispy pork noodles.

Mercifully, there’s no canned baked beans in sight.

Rugged British adventurer Levison Wood is a pro at putting himself in perilous, breathtaking situations in the wild, but he’s also a skilled photographer by trade. In this intimate, threepart series exploring endangered species, there’s an emphasis on stunning scenery. Last week’s premiere saw him in Borneo with orangutans. Tonight, in part two of three, Levison is off the beaten track in Namibia on the lookout for the rare desert lion, of which only around 100 are left in the wild. With a focus on the effects of climate change and habitat destruction, it’s a poignant and hopeful expedition. Next week, Greenland’s polar bears are in Levison’s sights.

ABC, 7.30pm

Since its premiere in 1990, this beloved gardening series has steadfastly dug its toes into Australian soil – until tonight. After more than 30 years, it’s time to explore the wonders of a different country: our beautiful, biodiverse neighbour Indonesia. In this hour-long special, Costa Georgiadis embarks on an adventure in Sumatra and Jakarta, bringing along cohost Tammy Huynh. We also meet a new face in local guest presenter Sean Salim as they explore the exotic destination. Featuring tropical fruits, an urban park, the world’s biggest flower and a rainforest conservationist, tonight’s unexpected furlough is a breath of fresh air.
