at the North Coast District Council.

Notably, Mr Glennon served as a transcriber of World War One diaries of servicemen at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, contributing to the preservation of historical records.

In addition to his extensive volunteer work, Mr Glennon served as President of the Macksville High School Parents and Citizens Association in 2008-2009 and demonstrated bravery as a retained fire fighter for both the Argents Hill Rural Fire Service (20002007) and the Bowraville Fire Brigade (1992-2000).

To say that John Glennon dedicated his life to the betterment of the community is an absolute understatement.

While the OAM citation says much about the incredible work this man did for his community, there is much more about him that is not so well known.

John was wounded in action in Vietnam during combat that claimed the life of some of his mates.

In the 1970s, while teaching at Cleveland Street Boys’ High School, he won a grant to purchase a four-wheel drive vehicle and resources to provide an alternative curriculum for at-risk Indigenous students with poor attendance records.

He also volunteered his

He then established an after-school homework centre for Indigenous students and did the same at Bowraville Central School in the 1980s.

“Dad lived a full life and touched many people along the way and whether I am in Bowraville or Balmain, there is always someone who stops to ask after him,” John’s daughter

Sophie Glennon told News Of The Area.

“Dad’s legacy will live on for a long time to come, due to his selfless nature and the years dedicated to volunteering his time to improve the lives of others.”

The recognition of Mr John Edward Glennon with the OAM is a testament to a life devoted to selfless service and will be remembered as a lasting tribute to his legacy.

Uncertainty over future forces staff layoffs in Macksville FROM Page 1

Macksville has reportedly been forced to lay off a quarter of its workforce in recent months, with Mr Kemp pointing the finger of blame at the State Government for having “failed to finalise” the new Bus Procurement Panel 4, an approved manufacturers list with updated building guidelines.

In NSW, contracted bus operators purchase new buses from the Transport for NSW Bus Procurement Panel consisting of pre-approved prime manufacturers.

These prime manufacturers regularly engage subcontractors, like Express Coach Builders, to assist in the manufacture of new buses.

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has no direct engagement with these subcontractors and for reasons of fairness and probity cannot directly intervene in

the procurement process.

Bus Procurement Panel 3 was established on 20 March 2020 for an initial period of five years (two years with three one year extension options).

TfNSW activated two of the extension options, in March 2022 and March 2023.

Mr Kemp said uncertainty over the delivery of Bus Procurement Panel 4 has left “jobs hanging on the line”, claiming to have been calling on the State Government to release Panel 4 since last year.

He said the delays are “a slap to the face for regional manufacturers who are now left without any orders in the pipeline”.

“I met with Transport Minister Jo Haylen and a senior staffer from the Minister of Regional Roads and Transport Jenny Aitchison’s office in December, who shook my

hand, looked me in the eye, and assured me that Express Coach Builders would have the newest specifications before Christmas,” Mr Kemp said.

“A month later, we are still stuck in this situation where one of Macksville’s largest employers could be forced to shut down, while Labor continues to ignore the hardships this setback has imposed on our valuable manufacturing industry.”

Express Coach Builders began its operations in 1995 and has since expanded their production line from 20 vehicles to 75 per year, including coaches and school buses.

Now down to 40 employees, Express Coach Builders Director Mark Foster is fearful the business may have to close after almost three decades of service to the community, and providing opportunities to more than 100 apprentices and trainees.

“It’s terribly sad to put your heart and soul into something

you love for it to be potentially taken away because the government and their agencies can’t sort out a procurement process,” Mr Forster said.

“Both ministers have the power to intervene and get the Panel 4 list out or at least offer relief to manufacturers to stay afloat.

“I had to lay off staff just before Christmas – no employer wants to do that.

“I do not want to start the new year with more, so I am pleading with the government to step up and fix it.”

A spokesperson for NSW Transport Minister Jo Haylen however, said the release of Bus Procurement Panel 4 is not delayed.

“The current panel, Bus Procurement Panel 3, is due to expire on 19 March this year,” they said.

“The process to finalise its replacement – Procurement Panel 4 - will be completed by 1 March.

“Bus operators can and have continued to place orders for new buses under

Procurement Panel 3, there has been no direction to operators to delay new bus orders until Procurement Panel 4 is established.

“Express Coaches has undertaken work for primary manufacturers on orders taken under Procurement Panel 3 after March 2023.”

The spokesperson indicated that Minister Haylen has engaged with the department and Mr Kemp to ensure that Express Coach Builders, like other local manufacturers, are given an opportunity to be selected to undertake subcontracting work for new buses as part of Transport for NSW bus panels.

“This has included meeting with the Local Member and to make sure that appropriate senior officials from Transport for NSW are engaging with Express Coach Builders when they have asked for information,” they said.

“The department advised that it had targeted to issue Bus Panel 4 Deeds - the first step to move to a new bus panel - to manufacturers prior

to Christmas last year.

“It’s disappointing that it did not meet this target date.

“However, letters will be sent to manufacturers this week notifying them that the new bus panel be in place by 1 March.”

A Transport for NSW spokesperson confirmed that NSW Bus Procurement Panel 4 is on schedule to commence in March 2024, including with sub-contractors chosen by the prime contractors to be in partnership.

“Contracted operators have a choice of supply of buses from the bus procurement panel when buses are to be replaced.

“Operators undertake due diligence in selecting the appropriate bus and bus body combination to suit the operating conditions.

“Transport for NSW works hard to support the bus manufacturing industry, however, we do not promote any specific prime or bus body manufacturers or suppliers individually as this would compromise the integrity of our procurement requirements,” the spokesperson said.

CCTV released as investigations continue into home invasion

DETECTIVES have released CCTV images as part of an appeal for public information into a home invasion at Stuarts Point last year.

About 12.25am on Thursday 28 September 2023, police were called to a home on Seventeenth Avenue, Stuarts Point, following reports of a home invasion.

Police were told that two men and two women forced entry to the home before threatening the occupant, a 34-year-old woman, and three children who were woken during the incident.

The group then allegedly smashed the windows of a vehicle parked at the property and fled the scene with stolen electronics.

Police from Mid North Coast Police District attended the scene and commenced inquiries into the incident

“As inquiries continue, detectives have released CCTV imagery of a vehicle seen in the area at the time of the incident,” a NSW Police spokesperson told NOTA. “The car is described as a white Holden Commodore sedan, and was seen heading west on Stuarts Point Road

shortly after the incident.

“Detectives have also released the descriptions of four persons they believe can assist police with inquiries.”

The first is described as male, with fair skin, about 180cm tall, roughly 40-yearsold, and balding.

National Celebration Day Awards honour exceptional citi FROM Page 1

Mr Bede Spannagle, was the Master of Ceremonies and ensured the evening ran smoothly.

The opening formalities saw a Welcome to Country

by Miss Tracey Singleton, a stirring National Anthem led by Barry Noble and the Nambucca District Band, and a prayer by Pastor Sydney Coetzee.

Nambucca Valley Mayor Rhonda Hoban OAM welcomed attendees before addresses from Member for Oxley Michael Kemp and the Australia Day Ambassador to the Nambucca Valley, Mr Rob Caslick.

The Sydney-based Mr Caslick enthralled the gathering, speaking about the founding of Two Good Co, an enterprise that, through the creation of high quality food and products, now supports, empowers and employs women with lived experience of homelessness, domestic violence and complex trauma.

This year the National Celebration Day Committee found it impossible to identify just one winner of the Nambucca Valley Citizen of the Year award, so three winners were named instead.

Sheralee Hardaker, Rachel Burns and Peter Lawry were all recognised as Citizen of the Year and are equal winners in

that category.

While Rachel and Sheralee were in Bowraville to receive their awards, Peter Lawry was kept away by illness.

Rachel Burns earned the prestigious honour through her role as convener of the Nambucca District Historical Society's Nambucca Heads Railway Station Centenary Committee, authoring the Nambucca Heads Station Centenary Book, excellence as a Museum Researcher for eight years, nine years as a volunteer presenter at Radio Nambucca 2NVR and many more community-minded volunteer roles.

IN A celebration of community spirit and national pride, the Nambucca Heads RSL Club treated locals and visitors alike to a sizzling Australia Day experience at Gordon Park, Nambucca Heads that was about as Aussie as they come.

The team from the club organised an Australia Day sausage sizzle that attracted many hungry locals who had seen the free feast advertised on social media.

Those locals were joined by a large number of visitors to the area who happened upon the sausage sizzle by chance.

The event, held at the picturesque Gordon Park, created a festive and patriotic atmosphere where like minded Aussies got to chat over a free meal and cold drink to celebrate their national day.

"We wanted to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment for the community to come together and celebrate Australia Day albeit in this small way," the CEO of the

Nambucca Heads RSL Club, Mrs Wendy Mills told News Of The Area.

“I love this country and I want to be able to celebrate what unites us so it is heartening to see so many people joining us this

morning."

As the sizzle continued throughout the morning attendees engaged in conversations and enjoyed great Australian music from a playlist put together by the club team.

“Australia Day celebrations over the years have traditionally been wonderful here in the Nambucca Valley and so many locals would love to see the day celebrated in the way we used to do it,” Mrs Mills concluded. q Visiting Queenslanders Thomas Tolhurst, Olivia Lea and Mea McKenna were delighted to come across the free Australia Day sausage sizzle at Gordon Park, cooked up by Nambucca Heads RSL staff members Calvin Taitumu, Sally Reedy and Andrew Ford.

NAMBUCCA VALLEY News Of The Area

Farmers warned over spray drift Valley Council’s fortnightly meetings to lament the danger posed by reckless use of chemicals on neighbouring intensive blueberry farms and the resultant vapours and spray which can drift across.

“One lady in Eungai contacted me last week to tell me that at 8am on a windy day the neighbouring blueberry farm was spraying and she and other neighbours could smell and taste the chemical in the wind,” Raewyn Macky of community action group Nambucca Environment Network (NEN) told News Of The Area.

“Another person I spoke to said they rang the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to complain about spray drift from a neighbouring farm in Talarm and were told to monitor it

By Ned COWIE THE NSW Farmers Association has reminded its members to be mindful of spray drift to neighbouring properties at a time when many Nambucca Valley residents have expressed concerns on the issue, particularly in terms of the blueberry industry.

Spray drift is the movement of pesticide spray droplets outside of the application site during or shortly after application.

Spray drift can cause conflict when pesticides cause off-target damage or injury to persons, property, animals and plants.

The NSW Farmers Association has called on farmers to be extra careful during spray operations, noting that spray drift caused significant damage during the 2022-23 season, and have called on property owners to report spray drift incidents to the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) despite concerns from the community that the EPA don’t have the resources and powers to regulate spray drift incidents.

Lately several Nambucca Valley farmers have chosen public rallies or Nambucca

for twelve months before expecting any action from the government body.

“Either they (the EPA) don’t care or they are underresourced and it seems to be up to ordinary people to do their work,” said Ms Macky.

Other local farmers have raised concerns that Meat and Livestock Australia routinely tests beef for prohibited chemicals and they fear that neighbouring paddocks will be affected by the unwanted and unidentified sprays.

Sue Higginson, Greens MP and the party’s spokesperson for agriculture, said the advice from the NSW Farmers Association comes as a timely step in the right direction but doesn’t go far enough.

“If we are serious about the impacts of spray drift on human and environmental

health and long term agricultural productivity, we need to take a harder look and approach,” said Ms Higginson.

“There are twelve agricultural chemicals in use in Australia today that have been banned in most other countries due to their known harmful impacts on people and the environment.”

Documents from the EPA that Ms Higginson obtained under parliamentary order in 2022 show that since at least 2020, the community has been complaining to the EPA about the irresponsible use of chemicals resulting in spray drift impacting neighbouring properties, towns and schools.

“Residents have reported mass de-foliations of remnant native vegetation to the EPA as well as specific vegetation dieback across the landscape and on their properties, but the EPA have taken days or weeks to respond and have essentially told residents that there is nothing they can do.

“After much pressure the EPA has recently implemented a regulatory program including active monitoring of spray drift which is a step in the right direction, but communities and the environments of agricultural districts are still being subjected to a suite of incredibly damaging

chemicals in what is essentially a self-regulating industry,” said Ms Higginson.

The EPA regulates pesticide use and spray drift impacts under the Pesticides Act 1999.

“We work with communities, industry and government to ensure that people use pesticides responsibly and to reduce the occurance of spray drift incidents,” the EPA website states.

If you have been affected by spray drift, you should report the incident to the EPA Environment Line on 131 555 as soon as possible.

New scheme to help farmers fight fires

TRANSPORT for NSW and the NSW Rural Fire Service will launch a trial registration exemption for farmers to help rural firefighting efforts this bushfire season.

Farmers are often called on to play a key role in protecting their own or neighbouring properties in the event of a bush or a grass fire, particularly before emergency response personnel are able to attend the fire.

Now, during a trial period that ends on 31 March, the NSW Government is allowing farmers to drive vehicles they use for firefighting purposes unregistered within a 100 kilometre (km) radius of their home.

Farm Fire Fighting Vehicles (FFFVs) tend to be

used to move around farm properties and not on public roads, and therefore may not be registered.

The legal use of these vehicles on public roads to attend nearby fires is an important change during the final few months of the bushfire season, a change many farmers and rural advocates have been calling for.

The RFS has recognised the value of these vehicles and the important role farmers play in firefighting efforts in rural areas.

As well as staying within a 100km radius of the storage address, the vehicle must be maintained in a safe operating condition and have fire-fighting equipment permanently attached to be

eligible for the exemption.

“For the duration of the trial, farmers will see the removal of red tape that will allow them to ready vehicles for protecting land, property, stocks and crops,” said Minister for Roads John Graham.

“The mosquito fleet as it’s affectionately known, has been an incredible asset for regional, rural and remote areas.”

RFS Commissioner Rob Rogers acknowledged the “critical role” landowners play as initial responders to grass fires.

“This will lead to an even more integrated relationship between farmers and the RFS, leveraging all available resources and the expertise and dedication of

farmers and those further afield were bearing the brunt of anti-competitive behaviour by “supply chain middle men”.

He said there was “long-running dysfunction between what the consumer pays and what the farmer is paid”.

“We’ve got members across NSW, and no doubt there are farmers across Australia, who have had the experience of seeing their produce on the shelf or at the checkout for three, five or ten times what they’re

being paid for the actual goods from the farm,” Mr Martin said.

“With grocery costs surging, consumers and their families are struggling to put food on the table – yet farmers are still receiving the same dysfunctional prices for their produce as they did when input costs were far lower.

“It has become increasingly clear that margins are not being passed through the supply chain in a fair and equitable manner, and it is farmers

making ends meet, and 25 percent are having extreme difficulty,” Ms Fowler said.

“It also found 87 percent are stressed about finances.”

She said the responses highlighted a wide range of basic expenses that had gone up, including groceries, fuel, power bills, rents, council rates, strata fees, healthcare and insurance.

“People are worried sick and there is a great deal of anxiety about the future,” Ms Fowler said.

“Many older people are either living cheque to cheque or doing their best to stretch out what’s left of their super or savings.

“There’s no room in the budget for extras, let alone

unexpected costs.

“The result is that people are making sacrifices that could have serious health consequences, like eating less nutritious food or skipping meals altogether.

“We are hearing from people who are putting off medical treatment because they can’t afford to go to the doctor.”

Ms Fowler said existing cost of living supports such as energy rebates were important, but were “a drop in the ocean”.

“We need to see more targeted supports, including increases to rent assistance and the pensioner council rate rebate,” she said.

“Programs like the axed

Farmers demand a fair go

THE NSW Farmers Association has welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement of an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) inquiry into the supermarket retail sector.

The inquiry announcement followed last week’s recall of Federal Labor MPs to Canberra for urgent cost of living talks.

NSW Farmers Association President Xavier Martin said North Coast

farmers in safeguarding our communities.”

NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee member Garry Grant heralded the trial as a win for common sense.

“Stopping fires as soon as we can is essential, and farmers play a key role in these firefighting efforts in rural communities,” Mr Grant said.

“It’s pleasing to see our calls for the legal use of Farm Fire Units (FFUs) heard, as these vehicles have proved critical for farmers during many recent bushfires.”

Farm Fire Units are a common implement on many farms, usually consisting of a small truck, ute or trailer carrying a tank of water that can be rapidly deployed when a fire broke out. and families who are footing the bill.”

He said the prices farmers received often did not cover their cost of production, with little justification and a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude from the supermarkets.

Individual farmers were afraid to speak out and risk losing supply contracts altogether.

“It’s about fairness,” Mr Martin said.

“There’s a high level of dysfunction and market signals are not delivering fair pricing to the farmers or to the consumers, so we’ve

According to Mr Grant, the trial was a positive first step towards increased safety and peace of mind for many farmers across the state.

“Being able to use these vehicles legally and under the protection of third-party insurance would be the ultimate goal of this trial, which we welcome as the hot weather continues,” Mr Grant said.

“If the trial is successful and FFUs can be operated while unregistered into the future, this would provide the clarity and assurance farmers have been looking for when operating these vehicles along public roads.”

With bushfire season now in full swing, Mr Grant encouraged farmers to nominate eligible vehicles to

participate in the trial before it concluded on March 31.

“If you’ve got a vehicle that’s in a safe operating condition and has firefighting equipment permanently attached, you can nominate it for the trial for use within a 100km radius of its storage address,” Mr Grant said.

“Farmers should have the tools available at their disposal to safely and effectively fight fires on or near their properties, and this trial is taking us one step closer to ensuring that.”

The trial will run until March 31 this year.

got a problem.

“This is going to be a really important opportunity for the ACCC to use their teeth and get to the bottom of why so many more farmers and their families are going out of business.”

He said it was important the Government was prepared to act on the inquiry recommendations, including “breaking up monopolies that don’t adhere to regulations”.

“Decades of nonsense around voluntary codes that clearly don’t work is not sufficient,” Mr Martin said.

“There are going to have

to be mandated laws and rules put in place.

“If they keep gouging billions of dollars out of the supply chain and not playing by the rules, then as a modern nation we’ve got to be prepared to regulate them and break them up.”

The ACCC expects to publish an issues paper in February seeking views on the key issues it will consider in the inquiry.

An interim report will be provided to the Australian Government later this year, with the final report due early next year.

National Seniors Australia Chief Executive Officer Chris Grice said consumers everywhere were feeling the pinch, but for many older Australians, being able to afford basic essentials was increasingly difficult and came at the expense of other items.

“We applaud moves to look at grocery prices and the conduct of supermarkets is one part of the solution,” Mr

Grice said.

“However, government must also directly help people meet rising living costs.

He said much of the commentary on older people painted a cohort living well off rising inflation, but “pressures from rising private health insurance costs, out-of-pocket health costs, insurance, fuel and groceries are eroding most of these gains”.

Struggling swimmers saved at Nambucca Heads

AN adult male and young child have been saved by a Marine Rescue Nambucca rescue watercraft (RWC) operator after being spotted struggling against the tide and heading towards the ‘hole in the wall’ on the Nambucca River just before 12pm last Wednesday.

Marine Rescue Nambucca Unit Commander Gary Nichols said rescue watercraft operators on board NH 12 and NH 10 were conducting their daily patrol of the inner and outer beaches around the Nambucca Bar when the swimmers were spotted.

Briana Rae Earle named Kempsey Shire’s Young Citizen of the Year

By Jen HETHERINGTON

STUARTS Point’s Briana Rae Earle has been named Kempsey Shire’s Young Citizen of the Year.

At a well-attended Australia Day ceremony at Kempsey’s Slim Dusty Centre, Briana was uncharacteristically lost for words when she was called to the stage to accept the award for the Shire’s Young Citizen of the Year, one of many nominations proffered from throughout the local government area (LGA).

A Stuarts Point local for all of her young 27 years, Briana constantly donates her time to help her community’s youth and provide disability support services to our region’s most vulnerable.

A foster parent who has overcome adversity in her own life, Briana actively campaigns for better resources and recreation activities for young people.

During Covid restrictions, Briana instigated and promoted the ‘Point Pantry’, a free food sharing spot in Stuarts Point, a small structure now repurposed as the Street Library in Fishermans Reach.

Despite her young years, Biana has also created a disability support business, a role it seems she was born for, acknowledged by the trust and adoration generated by young community members who always know that they can go to ‘Aunty Briana’ for help and support.

She is also a valued active member of the Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation.

The anonymous nominator for Briana’s award commented, “Briana has recently become a foster mum, and those kids are blessed to have her beautiful heart watching over them.”

“Me, going to prison, that was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she exclaimed, “because it gave me the opportunity to speak to amazing people in the ‘freedom’ movement worldwide, like Robert Kennedy Jr, (cardiologist) Dr Peter McCullough and (finance expert) Catherine Austin Fitts.”

Smit’s concern over the state of the world did not end with Covid however, expressing concerns at her Boambee meeting over digital identity legislation and the abolishment of cash.

At the conclusion of her 90-minute talk, Monica promoted her book, ‘Cell 22’, published by an Australian printing company and not for sale by credit card, along with other merchandise.

“It was wonderful to meet Monica,” said Alison Buckley, a founder of the Macksville branch of Reignite Democracy Australia, who attended the evening.

“We are a small group with members from Scotts Head, Stuarts Point and Macksville,” she said.

Smit’s journey in the courts continued in January, fighting legal proceedings launched by Consumer Affairs Victoria, who allege she broke fundraising laws to pay her previous legal bills.

Scotts Head artist featured at Stringer Gallery THE Stringer Gallery’s feature artist for the months of February and March is Scotts Head’s Ali Tupper, who will present her work in an exhibition titled ‘From the Centre to the Sea’.

A morning tea will be held at 10.00am on Tuesday 6 February to open Ali’s exhibition, which will then run until Saturday 30 March.

Ali’s love of art began at school, where she completed her first oil painting, one which is “still hanging on my father’s wall 45 years later!”.

“After studying physical education and art at college, working as a teacher and a barista, and raising three children, I only had limited time for artistic pursuits.”

However, an unexpected

move to Indonesia in 2010 provided Ali with the time and inspiration for new artistic challenges.

Joining an art class run by a successful and highly regarded Indonesian painter allowed her to further develop skills and share experiences with students from many countries.

“My confidence was boosted by participation in group exhibitions and achieving my first sales and commissions,” Ali said.

On returning to Australia, Ali continued painting whenever possible, eventually building a dedicated studio space in her Scotts Head home.

“I mostly work in oils or acrylics, and take on a wide variety of subjects such as landscapes, still lifes and portraits in an impressionist or semi-abstract style.

q Ali’s Stringer Gallery exhibition is titled ‘From the Centre to the Sea’.

“The bigger the canvas the better!

“I also enjoy creating al fresco mosaics if I can find a wall big enough.”

Ali regularly exhibits at the Stringer Gallery in Nambucca Heads, with her work also currently on display at the Eungai Creek

Buffalo Farm.

“I also exhibit at the Scotts Head Festival and was awarded the Peoples’ Choice award at the 2022 Macksville

Show.

“I am available for commissions and examples of my work can be viewed on my Facebook page Ali’s Art.”

weekend mixed bowls and Thursday Twilight bowls as well.

It has been wonderful to see lots of family groups, teenagers and those in their twenties really enjoying both the bowling and social aspects of our game.

Last week we had seven newcomers sign up for a ‘Have a Go’ day, but unfortunately the weather worked against us - don’t worry though we will reschedule and let you know when we will run that day with some of our club coaches.

Last Thursday the District President, Roe Martin, visited from South West Rocks and played with us before presenting last year’s Grade 2 Pennants winning team with their badges. Our Pennants flag has been updated so we could pose for a nice photo with it out on our green too.

Results from 18 Jan were: Ann Marie Johnson & Nerida Blackford defeated Roe Martin and Margaret

Flagg 17-15; Alma Reid, Marg Duffus and Gloria Richardson won over Janice Cedelland, Tina Ryan and Fletch 17-11; Deb Mann, Bev Jones and Karen Liddell had a win over Joan Haigh, Ava Power and Manor Smith 18-10, and in a blow out for the day Kim Porter, Pam Jones and Teresa Meehan won 22-3 over Kim, Rosemary Dugdale and Sandra Seckold.

The Club Mixed Pairs Championships has been unfolding over the past two weeks with some great match ups and a few surprises, as usual. Saturday saw some excellent matches played in the semi finals. In a nail biting finish, Eliza Brown and Aaron Cedelland found a win against Peter and Teresa Meehan in the last ends.

On the nearby rink, Mark Blackford and I overcame a slow start and being 7-0 down to win against Marg Duffus and Brendon Ruane 21-17.

In very hot conditions on Sunday morning I had the pleasure of pairing up with my hubby Mark in the final and we had a win over Eliza and Aaron. Mark continued his good form of late, and I managed to help him out in a 22-7 win. Eliza led very well, and though Aaron was not happy with his game we will never forget two ends when he managed to take away 5 shots we were holding to score 1, and then later cut 5 shots down to 1. Well done to all who had a go in the comp.

This week the Ladies Major Singles Championships have begun with the following

results: Arlene Duffus forfeited to Nerida Blackford but the other games played had some terrific bowling by new and more experienced playersa sign of how healthy our club is at the moment. In a great close match, worthy of a final in any other year, Manor Smith defeated Kim Porter 25-23; Deb Mann (now known as Deadly Deb) beat Rosemary Dugdale 25-7; coming back from time away from the greens, Margaret Flagg took no mercy on Tina Ryan, winning 25-7, and then in the last match, with some great shot making, Ava Power defeated Karen Liddell 25-17.

The next round next Tuesday will have more great match ups- worth coming down to watch.

Tonight- if we aren’t rained out- mixed teams will be playing the third round of the Royal Tar competition.

Ray will let you know those results in his report.

The ladies of Nambucca Bowls Club have been starting our Thursday games by 8.30, and in the heat we’ve been experiencing, we’ve hit the clubhouse a bit earlier than usual to cool down.

Results for games on 25th Jan were- T. Meehan, K. Dale, M. Duffus and E. Fleming def T. Meehan, T. Ryan , M. Dwarte and N. Blackford 1712; A-M Johnson, B. Jones & G. Richardson def D. Mann, M. Flagg & A. Power 16-11; and J. Haigh, K. Liddell & Fletch def A. Ried, S. Seckold and P. James 15-11.

Last week the first round of the Ladies Singles

Championships was completed on Friday when Eliza Brown defeated Teresa Meehan 25-11.

There were plenty of great bowls going down the rinks again in this round.

On Tuesday 30 January, in very hot and humid conditions, the next round was played. Marg Flagg, coming back from months away is not wasting any time getting back into winning form. Ava Power won the first end, but then Marg got the mat and didn’t look back.

Both had multiple shots on ends, and Ava got within 1 shot by the 22nd end but Marg stayed cool and won 25-20.

Elaine Fleming had (unusually) a sound start and was ahead 4-0 over Pat Fletcher, but from the fourth end Pat found her groove and stayed ahead for the match, winning 25-15.

In the third match on Tuesday it was a hard fought game to the very last bowl.

Nerida started well and got the first 3 ends, but by the eleventh end, Deb’s shot making to own the head put her in the lead. Nerida finally crawled back to 16-16, then was down 24-20, and then got back to 24-all . On the last end, Nerida finally got a shot bowl, only to watch Deb land a beauty and win by an inch.

A great game by one of our newest bowlers.

The final game for this round will be played FridayManor Smith against Eliza Brown. If you’ve got a free morning, come on down to watch.

Bowraville Bowls Report

TWO games of championship fours last week, both interrupted by rain on the Saturday, both resumed and completed on Sunday.

Mary DalSanto, Dallas Walker, Daniel Wren and Lloyd Laird faced a tough assignment against Steve Wellington, Bob Mackay, Glen Laverty and Graham Hines.

When the rain came the score favoured Hines and co. 14-4 and upon resumption the score was soon 21-4 following some brilliant leading by Wello and ably supported by Bob and Glen. Later in the game Hinesy showed his class and after twenty ends the game stopped, final score 32-9.

They will face Trish Walker, Beau McKay, Andy DalSanto and Adam Laird in the semi - finals after they accounted for John Cowie, Sharyn Hay, John Cochrane

Andrew Johnston got Stu’s ball on 15 (106cms) and Paul McElhinney won the Pro Pin Jackpot on 18.

Saturday’s Medley Stableford was very well attended by over 110 players, and some happy visitors in the winner’s circle. Some excellent golfing in Division 1 (0 to 16), where the winner was Michael Folland (10) from Wyong with 42 points, closely pipping runner-up Christian Knight (13) with 41 points. Stephen Kimber (19) scored 39 points to take out Division 2 (17 to 22) with 39 points from Mark Heelis (21) from Sawtell with 37 points.

Other good scores from Philip Mander & Stephen Carr 40, Phillip Frost & Rod Hardy 38, and the Ball Rundown to 33 on c/b. Mark

and Greg Lamberth.

Lairdy’s mob cruised out to lead 9-0 through the first five ends on Saturday.

The first end on Sunday saw Lambo’s crew get four shots and it was game on.

But with the relentless pressure applied from Trish’s lead bowls the game really never got close and Adam and co. advanced with a 19-10 victory.

Big thanks to all players for turning up both days and to all who watched from the verandah.

At time of writing both semis were set down for Saturday 3 rd Feb, time of play to be decided.

With a bit of luck the fours will be decided over the weekend and will clear a path for the start of the Tigers’ pennants campaign in Grade 7 on Feb 10 when Park Beach come to the Den. The teams have been selected and are on the board inside and out.

for the Australian Defence Force as well as buses for schools and the public transport and tourism sector!

It would be an absolute travesty if we lose this regional manufacturing industry as well as losing these highly trained

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

DEAR Jasminda, The local pest guy told us we have a rat infestation under the house.

He put baits down and now, one week before our daughter's birthday party, there's a stench.

What do we do?

Contentious Family Court assessment of contributions JACK meets Jill, fifteen years his junior, and after dating for a year, they become engaged to be married.

They both bring no substantial assets into the relationship.

Jack and Jill enter-into a longdistance relationship for a year before Jack wins the lottery.

He says to Jill: “We won the lotto!”.

They are married shortly thereafter and Jack purchases a home with the winnings.

Jack and Jill move-into the home with Jill’s three children from a previous relationship.

Jill’s children move-out five years later and after a couple of years, Jack and Jill’s relationship irretrievably breaks-down.

Jill commences proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, seeking property settlement orders.

A week-long hearing follows unsuccessful attempts at mediation.

In the judgement, the Court notes that Jack purchased the lottery ticket before the parties were cohabitating and before they could have been considered to be in a de facto relationship.

The Court hears Jill’s allegations of domestic violence.

Jack asks the Court to take into consideration the fact that he provided accommodation for Jill’s children and that as the primary breadwinner during their relationship, he met the bulk of their living expenses.

The Court assesses the parties’ contributions to the relationship, including their financial and nonfinancial contributions.

The Court rules the lottery winnings to be a contribution by Jack.

The Court accepts Jill’s allegations of violence and on a discretionary basis, rules that there shall be no adjustment for Jack providing accommodation for Jill’s children.

The Court notes that at the time of the hearing, both parties had low income earning capacities.

The Court finds that the only substantial asset of the relationship consists of the home purchased by Jack using the lottery winnings, which is now worth $1 million.

Ultimately, the Court rules that it is “just and equitable” for Jack to pay Jill $300,000 and if he is unable to obtain sufficient finance to facilitate payment within 90 days, the home is to be placed on the market with Jill receiving 30 percent of the proceeds of sale.

Regional Forest Agreements decision a sensible call DEAR News Of The Area,

IN reference to Ziggy Koenigseder’s emotive letter in both the Coffs Coast and Nambucca NOTA (19/1/24) titled 'An unbelievable decision on native forests', I’d like to correct several errors of fact.

There is no “clear felling of our old growth native forests” in NSW. There have been no extinctions from sustainably managed timber harvesting in Australia.

All mammal extinctions in Australia have occurred in the arid regions where there is NO forests (removal of Aboriginal burning) or on the islands that dot our coast (pests and weeds).

Claims that the timber industry is subsidised are false and a deliberate misinterpretation of the facts.

Following the Black Summer wildfires and at least two major flood events, Forestry Corporation of NSW received "taxpayer funded grants worth $246.9m since the 2019//20 financial year" to fix public roads, bridges and other public assets.

Critics of FCNSW claim these are examples of financial losses by Forestry Corporation of NSW! Each year, FCNSW receives Community Service Obligation (CSO) funding "to provide a range of community services including recreational facilities, education, regulatory and fire protection services".

The annual cost to NSW taxpayers in CSO funding to manage

Maree and John R. Maree and John, I'm flattered that you think pest control is one of my many areas of expertise.

I'm also wondering if your question is a not-so-subtle metaphor for Donald Trump's apparent ability to hold sway with the Republican Party while he's facing criminal and civil cases for attempting to overturn an election, storing classified documents at his swanky home, electoral tampering, hush money to a porn star, business fraud, and defamation.

It seems impossible to fathom that he could cause such a stink, and still be hanging around.

And yet, there he is.

Now if you're not being

metaphorical and really are seeking rodent advice, I'm not big on the idea of baits, particularly if you have domestic animals who have an uncanny knack for finding a baitinfused rat and chomping into it, even when they turn their nose up at air-fried tripe and lamb nibbles with probiotics.

One thing I know from experience, is that the stench will only get worse.

At the moment it is possibly a heady waft under the floorboards, but by the time your daughter's big day arrives, it will smell like a cocktail of methane and sulphur dioxide, which won't be a very suitable accompaniment to the margheritas and strawberry daiquiris.

There is unfortunately no alternative but to put on some gloves, follow your nose, find the culprit (or culprits) from under the house and place it in the red bin (disgusting, I know, but not as distressing as the vet bill you'll get if one of your pets eats poison).

In future, apparently rats hate the smell of peppermint oil, which seems a far kinder way to deter them.

the two million hectares of State forests is generally around $17M, which works out to be $8.50 per hectare.

This public good funding is often referred to by activists as subsidies.

The last time you could check the NPWS Annual Report (about 2019), before it was hidden behind the veil of the Department of Planning and Environment, the NSW Government was paying around $850 million to manage its National Parks, which equates to $121 per hectare.

It would seem that actively managed State forests, which also sustainably produce timber products (did I mention that half the weight of timber is converted CO2 stored as carbon!), are actually a better spend of taxpayers’ dollars.

The Regional Forest Agreements (RFAs) were agreed to in the late 90s/early 2000s – to find a balance between ecologically sustainable forest management, a sustainable timber industry (and regional economies) and a comprehensive, adequate and representative conservation reserve system.

Neither side was happy (the timber industry was halved overnight) but both sides of the debate declared that the forest wars were over.

Under the RFAs, of the three million hectares of public forest on the north coast, 88 percent is already managed for conservation and only twelve percent is available for timber harvesting.

On average, just six trees in 10,000 are harvested each year and then regenerated (a condition of the Coastal IFOA).

However, even within the areas to be harvested, extensive seasonal surveys are undertaken to determine what flora and fauna species are present or likely to occur and operations are planned to minimise any impacts on those species.

Species conservation requires management at the landscape scale, not at the micro or individual scale.

Bio-DIVERSITY by its very definition requires a variety of species compositions, structural variations, etc.

The more diverse the environment from old growth to young regenerating trees, the greater the benefits for the widest range of plant and animal species.

Timber harvesting, where

operations are deliberately planned to be spread both spatially and through time across the landscape, provides that biodiversity by creating a mosaic of stand structures, age classes and feed sources whilst maintaining tree species composition.

Now 20 years later, after the RFA’s were renewed like they were designed to be (because sustainable forestry works on 100 plus years cycles of regeneration, thinning, harvesting and regeneration), those same people who declared the forest wars over from the conservation movement 20 years ago want the rest.

Most frame timber today is from Australian steel or pine, often from New Zealand where they instigated plantations.

I spoke to north coast mill owners and workers in the 70s: "All we're getting now are matchsticks".

That was then, diameters have declined since.

I'd suggest to readers they observe the small diameter of logs on passing jinkers - diminishing matchsticks.

In earlier times you'd need two jinkers to cart one tree.

Poor quality timber comes from the skinny resource: pallets and wood chips.

The products themselves are the legacy of overcutting for decades.

At the present rate of milling the industry will finish of its own accord.

I'm asking questions of last week's defenders, and I'd like

answers that aren't evasive, stick to diameters and facts.

Why are today's logs so small?

Surely it suggests decades of over-cutting?

How can this be (and I'll use your word) "sustainable"?

Carpe diem, JASMINDA.

Regards, Steve DOBBYNS, Jamax Forest Solutions.

Why are today's logs so small?

DEAR News Of The Area,

TWO letters in NOTA on January 26 claimed the timber industry was sustainable.

Clearly they don't have an understanding of post-war logging history and the current resource's maths.

At the end of the 60s log diameters began to shrink, it was clear that logs suitable for large gauge framing timber were scarce.

Group 2 Rugby League representative team named

By Aiden BURGESS

GROUP 2 Rugby League has named its men’s representative team after selectors recently picked the squad.

The Group 2 representative squad will take on the Group 3 representative side on Saturday, 17 February, at Port Macquarie

Regional Sports Stadium.

The inter-group match will assist North Coast selectors in choosing a North Coast Bulldogs squad to play in the NSWRL Men’s Country Championships in March.

Woolgoolga Seahorses and Nambucca Heads Roosters players make up the bulk of the squad.

Five Woolgoolga Seahorses players were chosen to the Group 2 team; Bradley Collinson, Sione Fangupo, Jackson Gisinger, Tyler Murden, and Shayde Perham.

Four Nambucca Heads Roosters players were selected; Paul Bell, Khan Jarrett, Tyronne RobertsDavis, and Brodie Simon.

Keiron Johnson-Heron and Bailey Sinclair (South Grafton Rebels), Jake Martin and Toby McIntosh (Grafton Ghosts), Zane Doolan and Matthew Hyland (Macksville Sea Eagles), and Macauley Dawson (Bellingen Valley/Dorrigo Magpies) were also selected.

The North Coast Bulldogs team

selected from the Group 2 vs Group 3 match will take on other regional representative teams from across NSW. The Bulldogs open their Men’s Country Championships against the Northern Rivers Titans on Sunday, 3 March at Port Macquarie Regional Sports Stadium.

Macksville basketballer represents NSW

By Aiden BURGESS

MACKSVILLE basketballer Clay Perkins has once again represented his state on the court.

Perkins has been playing for the NSW team at the Ivor Burge Championship, a national championship for players with an intellectual disability underway this week at Ballarat.

It’s the second year he has represented NSW at the championship, with the Ivor Burge state team featuring the top players in NSW with an intellectual disability.

To prepare for the championship, Perkins trained at his local gym, getting his fitness to peak levels.

Clay’s mother Karen said her son loved the defensive aspect of basketball.

“He’s very good at defence

and loves playing it, and he’s asked the NSW coach if he can defend all the best players at the championship,” she said.

“Clay is the definition of a hard worker and puts 110 percent into every single training session.”

As well as representing NSW on the basketball court, the 21-year-old has excelled at touch football, representing the Northern Eagles.

He was a member of the Northern Eagles All Abilities team that won last year’s Inferno National Touch League title in Coffs Harbour.

His first sporting love was rugby league, having played for the Bowraville Tigers as a junior.

You can watch Clay live at the Ivor Burge Championship which will be broadcast on KommunityTV.

Parkrun celebrates hitting one million participant milestone FROM Page 24 as it keeps her active, adds to her triathlon training and has helped her get involved in the local community and meet new people, having moved to the area 18 months ago.

Stephen Boyd from Bellingen loves the community aspect of parkrun and being able to exercise with no pressure to be fast or competitive.

“You can just show up, have a run or walk, chat to some people and have a good start to your weekend,” he said.

Urunga parkrun starts at 7am and takes place at Urunga boardwalk, near the play equipment.

Ten minutes before the event each week, a volunteer welcomes first-timers and introduces them to the event.

“parkrun is very inclusive because it’s free, it’s every Saturday, and there are lots of different ways to be involved,” said Pim. “We have families taking part together, friends walking and talking their way around the five kilometre course. “parkrun is all about having fun and taking part in a way that’s comfortable for you.

“Some of our regulars take part most weeks, but the beauty of parkrun is that it doesn’t require any commitment.

“You register once for free on the parkrun website and then you can come along to any parkrun in the world on any Saturday morning if you feel like it.”

The first Australian parkrun launched on the Gold Coast in 2011, with the simple concept spreading to a further 480 communities nationwide.

Each parkrun takes place every Saturday morning year-round and is open to everyone, with a volunteer welcoming first-timers and introducing them to the event.

Registration is free at www.parkrun.com.au/ register.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

SEVEN, 9.10pm

ABC, 7.35pm

Can you believe Gardening Australia will be celebrating its 35th season this year? A staple of the ABC’s Friday night lineup, the infectious energy and glorious beard of host Costa Georgiadis (pictured) has ensured the past few seasons have been among the very best of the show, with a successful spin-off for kids (Gardening Australia Junior) launched last year. Season 35 kicks off with Costa heading north to tour the grounds of Queensland’s incredibly popular Woodford Folk Festival, which have become a biodiverse wonderland. Elsewhere, Tammy Huynh lets us in on which plants landscape designers love the most and Clarence Slocklee checks out the brand new National Herbarium of NSW.

The ultimate multiverse superhero movie with more surprise appearances than you can poke a stick at, this third solo outing for Tom Holland as the web-slinging arachnid hero packs enough plot and character for five films into its 148 minute running time. Struggling in the aftermath of his true identity being public knowledge, Peter Parker (Holland) asks for the assistance of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to reverse it.

Inevitably, the solution brings even more problems as many familiar faces (some friendly, others not) from Spidey flicks of the past appear. Holland is as appealing as ever and there’s a bounty of meta-humour and Easter eggs in the tangled web for long-time fans to enjoy. No Way Home is one of the more funand satisfying Marvel films of the era.

THE DOG HOSPITAL WITH GRAEME HALL

TEN, 8.30pm

They don’t call dog trainer and TV presenter Graeme Hall “The Dogfather” for nothing.

A natural at taming disobedient pooches, Hall’s Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly series showcases his undeniable love for our four-legged friends. In this series, Hall visits British animal hospital Willows, and checks in with all kinds of ailing pups.

Tonight, a Labrador struggles with a severe chest infection, which has its owner extremely worried.

At the same time, an adorable golden retriever has a baffling chest ailment and a miniature dachshund battles an immune disorder.

It’s a superb showcase of the life-saving work the Willows staff do.

One Million!

media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Andrea FERRARI PARKRUN Australia saw its one millionth new participant sign up on Saturday 27 January.

With 999,503 different people having participated in Australia up to that moment, someone somewhere in Australia joining a parkrun for the first time was the one millionth parkrun debutant.

Urunga parkrun welcomed the broader organisation’s seven-figure milestone.

“Last weekend was extra special because somebody in Australia doing parkrun was the millionth new individual person signing up to take part

q Shirley Sneddon from Valla and Stephen Boyd from Bellingen at Urunga parkrun.

in our events,” said Pim Heaney, volunteer Event Director of Urunga parkrun.

“The great thing about parkrun is that you don’t need to run to take part - you can also participate by walking the course or volunteering.”

The Glyde and Davis families from Bellingen have been partaking in the Urunga parkrun for the past three weeks.

Some of the family members run, others run/ walk, and some walk the whole way.

“They like that parkrun is something they can all do together that is also healthy and keeps them fit,” said Peter Glyde.

Shirley Sneddon from Valla said she loves parkrun CONTINUED Page 17
