Councillors across the Mid North Coast seek urgent meeting with Ministers over logging FROM Page 1

Valley, have sent a letter to NSW Premier Chris Minns, Minister for the Environment Penny Sharpe and Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty seeking an urgent meeting to discuss the impacts of native forest logging on biodiversity, water quality and bush fire safety in their LGAs. Nambucca Valley Councillors David Jones, Susan Jenvey and Ricky Buchanan were signatories to the letter.

The councillors claim that numerous endangered species have taken refuge in unburnt areas of forest that “are currently being logged at an alarming rate”.

With a potentially very hot summer following a hot and dry winter, the councillors are concerned about the effect of bushfires on flora and fauna, some of which has not yet fully recovered from the fires of 2019.

As well as biodiversity being at higher risk of extinction, the councillors assert that tourism and the ‘ecosystem services’ that are relied on for growing food and producing employment might also be adversely affected.

The impact on the water quality of rivers and waterways because of increased sediment load associated with current logging practices is concerning them because, they say, the use of very large harvesting machinery and associated wide roading works are resulting in large loads of sediment sitting above water catchments.

The councillors note that the steep topography of the region, combined with heavy rainfall events, could result in devastating consequences for vital rivers, streams, and wetlands.

They say that anxiety about the ability of water providers to be able to deliver safe and secure water to communities is real in light of the coming dry period and water shortages experienced in the region in 2019.

A major fear is that logging practices will increase the impact of bushfires.

The councillors cite a study by Professor David Lindenmayer from the Australian National University (ANU) that states ”logged forests always burn at greater severity that

intact forests” and “logging increases the probability of canopy damage by five to 20 percent and leads to longterm elevated risk of higher severity fire”.

Studies such as this, coupled with the recent severe wildfires in the Northern Hemisphere, have led the councillors to believe that the risk to residents’ lives and property is too high to allow native forest logging to continue.

Bellingen Shire Councillor Dominic King, one of the signatories, said, “The letter supports a motion passed at the Local Government NSW conference in 2022 that advocates for the end of native forest logging in New South Wales.

“A recent visit to Europe highlighted the need for

urgent action to halt native forest logging to protect our LGAs.” A spokesperson for Minister Sharpe confirmed that the letter has been received and that the Minister is considering its contents.

The letter was also signed by Cr Dominic King, Cr Jennie Fenton, Cr Ellie Tree and Cr Jo Brotherton (Bellingen Shire Council), Cr Jonathan Cassell, Cr Sally Townley and Cr Tony Judge (Coffs Harbour City Council), Cr Arthur Bain, Cr Alexandra Wyatt and Leo Hauville (Kempsey Shire Council), Cr Lauren Edwards and Cr Lisa Intemann (Port Macquarie Hastings Council), Cr Greg Clancy (Clarence Valley Council) and Cr Dheera Smith (Mid Coast Council).

Ten years with fantastic fundraising effort FROM Page 1

aimed at young children and toddlers.

Rachael Southwell, the store’s Business Manager told News of the Area, “We just wanted to say a big thank you to the community and to our staff for their support.”

The team instore had also set themselves the target of raising $5000 for the McGrath Foundation, an Australian charity supporting individuals and families dealing with breast cancer.

As an act of solidarity with

cancer sufferers it has become popular to shave heads and when the target $5000 was reached at 1.30 pm, five staff members as well as Tim from 2NVR Nambucca Valley Radio and Matt from Showtime Castles volunteered to fulfil this brave tradition.

“By the end of the day, we raised over $6000,” Rachael said.

“We had over 430 people come through and saw so many kids.”

The store achieved their fundraising goal through a raffle of shop-donated prizes

with tickets on sale over the last few weeks at the checkout.

There was also a sausage sizzle, an impressive array of pink cupcakes home-baked by staff, as well as other pink snacks and treats available for sale with all proceeds going to the McGrath Foundation.

“We actually ran out of food on the day and had to go and get more,” said Rachael.

Judging by the smiles on the faces of the attending children the day was a great thank you to families in the community for their support over the years.

distress can be reduced.

“We wean calves in a paddock or yard next to their mothers,” explained one South Arm farmer.

“That way, although they are still noisy, they take comfort from knowing that Mum is nearby.”

According to the Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) website, when animals are weaned, they become more accustomed to humans and adapt better to feedlots, sometimes a necessity in times of drought.

Cattle who are at ease around people experience less stress during transport and handling.

Mr Andrews suggested farmers download the DPI’s Drought and Supplementary Feed (DASF) Calculator, available for android, Apple or computer, which will help them to calculate exactly how much feed they will need, how much it will cost and allow them to compare different types of feed for a cost and benefit analysis.

Other advice he offered to help farmers survive the current dry season is to shut gates and limit the range of

their cattle.

Mr Andrews explained that allowing the cattle the run of the property might have worked in previous, more abundant seasons, but for now, “Shut the gates!”.

This will give paddocks time to recover and prevent cattle from expending energy looking for food far and wide.

“Of course, depending on the size of the pasture the cows can access, this may mean supplementing food and that is where the DASF Calculator app can help farmers to understand whether this works for them.”

Mr Andrews was keen to remind local farmers of the positives as he saw them.

“Your cows should have been in good condition when they calved this year after several good years and although prices are low now, farmers have enjoyed high prices last year and hopefully are currently in a better financial position and are therefore not forced to sell yet.”

He also notes that although it can’t offer certainty, the weather

Time to wean cattle early

By Ned COWIE

WITH the Nambucca Valley currently experiencing drought and predicted to have a dryer than average summer, it may be time for cattle farmers to consider early weaning, from three months of age, to ensure breeder cows have enough nutrition to calve again next season.

So said Todd Andrews, Beef Development Officer with the NSW Department of Primary Industries, speaking at a Local Land Services workshop for farmers at the Bowraville Ex-Services Club last Thursday.

Weaning is a stressful time for cows and calves but there are ways that

Logging protesters given good behaviour bonds without convictions

q Defendants and supporters show their solidarity at court. Photo: Bellingen Activist Network.

By Andrew VIVIAN

LOGGING protesters Ruby Oliver-King and Tiffany Daro were sentenced at Coffs Harbour Local District Courthouse last week for their actions to protect native forests by disrupting forestry operations over recent months.

The pair faced charges for locking themselves to the arm of a 45-tonne harvesting machine on June 7 in Orara East State Forest on Coffs Harbour’s outskirts.

Ms Oliver-King and Ms Daro both received no conviction and an eighteenmonth good behaviour release each.

Gumbaynggirr custodian Sandy Greenwood supported the actions of the protesters.

"We stand in solidarity with our allies, Ruby and Tiff, who have listened deeply to our calls as traditional custodians to protect country

and Gumbaynggirr cultural heritage,” Ms Greenwood said.

“We will continue working as a unified force to permanently end all native forest logging.”

Ms Oliver King expressed frustration at being forced to justify the reasoning behind actions taken to halt logging operations.

“I find it agonising that we have been asked to defend our motivations to protect such places when the facts are available for all people, that these cultural places and ecosystems should remain un-logged.

“This fight isn’t going to conveniently go away for industry until native forest logging has been closed down for good.”

Four others - Wilkarr Kurikuta, Brendan Scotts, Ishka Targett and Hannah Harlen - faced the same charges for similar actions in Newry State Forest in

August, where there has been a lengthy standoff between hundreds of community members and traditional owners against logging contractors.

Dubbed the 'Newry 4',

the protesters have had their matters adjourned to May 2024 after pleading “notguilty” to all charges.

Aunty Lauren Jarrett, Gumbaynnggirr Elder and traditional custodian, said,

"We support our brave forest protectors.

“Their deep respect for Gumbaynggirr traditional owners, our culture and our forests give us strength to keep fighting.

“They are our friends, they give us hope for the future.

“We work side by side to save our culture, animals and trees from further destruction."

However, hot weather

and possible storms were predicted as this story went to print, and the situation in Kempsey was far from over.

“Although it continues to burn in the forest it is currently under control,” the RFS spokesperson said.

Recent rainfall in the Nambucca Valley brings some relief for farmers and firefighters

By Ned COWIE

PATCHY but welcome rain fell across the mid-north coastal regions of New South Wales on Thursday and Friday last week, bringing some relief for drought-stricken farmers and firefighters.

Combined totals for 26

and 27 November of up to 50 millimetres (mm) fell in some parts of the Nambucca Valley with South Arm getting around 40mm and Taylors Arm 20mm.

Further north around the Coffs Harbour region, totals of over 100mm were recorded.

Kempsey firefighters got

a lucky break, registering 3050mm over the fire zone.

A spokesperson from NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Kempsey told News Of The Area on Tuesday “it gave firefighters a well-earned break for a couple of days”.

Community art continues with new Nexus show

By Andrea FERRARI

CELEBRATING and sharing the work of local artists, Bellingen’s Nexus Gallery continues its community mission with new exhibitions running from 5 November to 1 December.

The official opening is at 2pm on Sunday 5 November.

‘Visual Imagery’ is the title of the Main Gallery exhibition showing the work of four artists, all from the Bellingen Shire region.

q

The exhibition features painters Carol Simons, Penel Gamble and Chetan Bloemhard, and ceramicist Sandy Robinson.

In the Studio Gallery, painter Ruth RandallGeorge from Nambucca Heads displays her work in an exhibition entitled ‘Art Emerges from Imagination’.

The artists share comments with News Of The Area.

“Art is my way of expressing the appreciation

q Carol Simons’ Early Mist.

I feel for the beauty of the natural world,” Carol Simons said.

“I enjoy focusing in on detail, from the unique patterns in bark and leaves, the beauty and vast variety of flowers, to the fascinating shapes and forms of seeds and seed pods, as well as how the light changes through the day and seasons.

“I use a wide range of mediums in my work.”

For Penel Gamble, art gives her licence to play.

“I love to paint, draw and create.

“I don't restrict myself to any particular medium, subject, or style.

“I often endeavour to tell visual stories which leave room for interpretation.

“Serious or playful, my work is most successful when my intent, or pure joy in creating the work, makes a connection with the viewer.”

Chetan Bloemhard’s paintings celebrate

“the beauty, diversity and connection that shines through everything”.

“Time stops in the emerging play of paints, creating unexpected colours, shapes and form,” Chetan said.

“The process is always surprising, and the question remains... is it finished?”

Sandy Robinson is passionate about all aspects of working with clay.

“I hand build and throw on a wheel - porcelain, stoneware and grogged raku clays, and fire in electric and gas kilns.

“I am often inspired by firing outdoors using smoke as decoration on white clay.

“I like the contrast of black and white but also the beautiful copper and turquoise lustres created by starving the glaze of oxygen,” she said.

Showing in the Studio Gallery, Ruth Randall-George told NOTA, “I have been drawing and painting for most of my life.

The benefits of regenerative agriculture

By Jen HETHERINGTON THE Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation (SPaDCO) welcomed Lorraine Gordon from Southern Cross University at their 25 October meeting in her role as Director of the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance and the Institute of Ecological Agriculture.

Her address shared her expertise in economic, environmental and social resilience during these times of increasing climate change.

“Regenerative agriculture has several definitions but essentially it is regarded as a system of farming principles and practices that enrich soils, improve the water cycle, increase biodiversity and dynamic ecosystems, and restore the solar energy function of plants to draw down carbon from the atmosphere,” Ms Gordon said.

After a thorough lecture supported by visual presentations, Ms Gordon fielded questions from the audience, many of which were local land holders and producers, and went on to rationalise ways the community can prepare to be more resilient farmers and managers.

As well as her role as educator, Lorraine runs a multi-generational family cattle farm at Ebor and emphasised that now is a good time for farmers to do their homework when it comes to carbon farming and carbon trading.

“There is a lot to get your head around in this space, and one or two people won’t change the world, but a community can.

“The Federal Government's climate and energy policy released recently, the 'Technology Roadmap', puts farmers at the forefront of reducing greenhouse emissions through carbon sequestration.”

Lorraine was awarded the 2018 Rural Community Leader of the Year for Australia and was a 2019 nominee and finalist for Australian of the Year for her work with farmers.

For more information contact Lorraine Gordon via LinkedIn.

even harder for those already doing it tough.

President of the Nambucca River VIEW Club, Lyn McGuigan said with one in six children in Australia living in poverty, it's never been a more important time to support a child with their education.

Families are having to make impossible choices during this cost-ofliving crisis; this could be prioritising rent over sending their child on a school excursion or paying for school books.

"No child should have to miss out on the essentials of their education, and this is why VIEW is so passionate about supporting the work of The Smith Family.

“Its evidence-based approach helps children experiencing disadvantage to overcome the educational inequality they face.

“They support children for the

duration of their education, and this helps them build the confidence and skills needed to create better futures for themselves," Lyn said.

The Nambucca River VIEW Club helps four children through The Smith Family's Learning for Life education support program, which provides families with long term educational, financial, and personal assistance so that children have all the essentials needed to fully participate in their learning.

VIEW Clubs nationally raised more than $1.3 million last year to support The Smith Family's vital work, and currently sponsor over 1,700 students on the Learning for Life program.

While fundraising plays a vital role in helping children in need, Lyn is also encouraging women of all ages to donate their time and skills by joining a VIEW Club.

Last year, VIEW members

collectively volunteered over 70,000 hours of their time to help young people in various ways - but there is still a need for more helping hands.

VIEW members have a unique opportunity to provide hands-on support to children experiencing disadvantage, while also forming meaningful and lasting community relationships.

Members enjoy fun and friendship, while knowing that whether it's selling tickets in our raffles, or helping to organise a fundraising event, they are supporting the sponsorship of children who need our help.

KEMPSEY Shire Mayor Leo Hauville and Council representatives joined a 40-strong crowd in Stuarts Point last week to discuss three key areas of local concern - sewage, drainage and the Special Rate Variation (SRV).

Residents in attendance at the Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation (SPaDCO) meeting on Wednesday 25 October were primarily keen to examine the Council’s financial future and the consequences of the proposed SRV. Regarding the SRV, Kempsey Shire Council (KSC) representatives pointed out that the organisation will face significant challenges over the next ten years to meet community expectations on service delivery and maintenance of assets such as roads, bridges and community facilities.

KSC staff informed residents that three options have been developed for public consideration, showing a sliding scale and timeline of possible rate increases that should deliver varying levels of improved asset conditions.

Any potential rate rise is not applied to the total rates bill, only the General Fund (or property rate) line on the bill.

The SRV, if approved, could mean three incremental rate rises between July 2024 and July 2026, totalling either a 51 percent, 85 percent or 94 percent increase from the current level.

To implement the SRV, Council must apply to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal ( IPART) to seek approval, which may take effect by July 2024.

Stephen Mitchell, Acting General Manager of Kempsey Shire Council said, “The three options deliver financial sustainability along with varying levels of improved asset condition and include a rate increase each year for three years between 2024 and 2026, which would then be permanently retained as the rating level.

“However, it’s important to stress that no decision has been made yet.”

With the public

submissions period having closed on October 29, a report will be presented to councillors at KSC’s November meeting, who will determine if an application should be made to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) for a Special Rate Variation.

“We understand the community’s concern about the increase to their rates while there is continual cost of living pressures - Council is feeling those pressures too.

“It would be imprudent and irresponsible of Council to not address the forecast financial challenges,” said Mr Mitchell.

“If Council decide to apply to IPART we will inform the community of how to make submissions directly to the regulatory body ahead of any determination in May next year.”

Ratepayers are reminded that the increase would apply

and to say thank you.”

If you know of a person, organisation or team that has made an outstanding contribution to the community over the past twelve months, please nominate them for an Award under one or more of the following categories: - Citizen of the Year - Senior Citizen of the Year - Young Citizen of the Year - Indigenous Citizen of the Year

Disaster assistance for fire-affected Kem FIRE-AFFECTED primary producers and landholders in the Kempsey Shire can now access disaster assistance in response to recent bushfires.

Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty said, “Natural disaster recovery grants and subsidies will provide immediate relief such clean-up, transport and restoration costs to eligible primary producers, small businesses, and non-profit organisations in the seven LGAs of Port Macquarie, Mid-Coast, Kempsey, Inverell, Kyogle, Tenterfield and MidWestern.”

Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and will be administered through the NSW Rural Assistance Authority (RAA) to help communities and individuals directly affected by the fires.

The assistance measures available through the NSW RAA are: • Concessional interest rate loans for primary producers and small businesses up to a maximum of $130,000, with

interest rates currently set at 1.79 percent.

• Concessional interest rate loans for non-profit organisations up to a maximum of $25,000, with interest rates currently set at 1.79 percent.

• Transport subsidies for primary producers of up to 50

percent of the total freight cost to a maximum of $15,000 per farm enterprise per financial year.

• Donated fodder transport subsidies for the costs of donating and transporting donated fodder to affected properties or storage facilities in a central location up to a

maximum distance of 1,500 kilometres.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the funding will help those in most immediate need across the region.

“It’s been a difficult two weeks for many of our rural communities across the Mid North and North Coast,” Mr Conaghan said.

mpsey farmers and primary producers “While the phenomenal efforts of our Emergency Service teams have saved hundreds of buildings and livelihoods, we have inevitably seen properties and houses destroyed and damage to equipment, roads and fencing.

“Today’s announcement means those most affected areas can now access initial funding streams while the full extent of the damage is being assessed.”

Member for Oxley Michael Kemp said the funding couldn’t come soon enough.

“I know that this initial funding will be a welcome relief to those unable to afford essentials at this present time while they assess

the full extent of damage to their properties and livelihoods.”

Police appeal for information Police are appealing for public assistance as they investigate the cause of several bushfires.

About 4pm on Tuesday 17 October 2023, emergency services were called to McGuires Crossing Road at Belmore River – about 15 kilometres east of Kempsey – following reports of a bushfire.

The fire, which has been brought under control, has burnt through nearly 3,000 hectares of bushland in the Hat Head National Park.

Under Strike Force Tronto, detectives from the Financial Crime Squad’s Arson Unit, with assistance from officers from the Mid North Coast Police District, commenced an

investigation into the circumstances surrounding the blaze, which is believed to be suspicious.

As inquiries continue, detectives are keen to speak with the driver of a white Nissan Patrol tabletop utility, with a broken taillight, which was seen in the area about 3pm that day.

Detectives are also investigating if the fire has any links to blazes that occurred on Lighthouse Road at Arakoon, Maria River Road at Crescent Head, and Crescent Head Road at Crescent Head, which occurred between 6am and 8am on Tuesday 17 October 2023.

Any witnesses or anyone with further information is urged to come forward.

Macksville Medical Centre joins Nurse Student Rural Placement Program THE Macksville Medical Centre is now partnering in a program to encourage nursing students to take clinical placements in regional areas.

The Nurse Student Rural Placement (NSRP) program is a collaboration between the Australian Practice Nurse Association and the Rural Doctor’s Network who work with universities Australia-wide to help facilitate clinical placements in rural locations.

It’s a new initiative that focuses on addressing the current and future workforce shortages, giving the next generation primary care nurses experience in our rural and remote regions.

The NSRP envisages that giving students immersive rural placements will enable nursing students to see

this as a viable and attractive career path after graduation.

Stella Felice, who is completing her third year of nursing through Southern Cross University, is currently in the midst of her sevenweek placement at the Macksville Medical Centre, where staff and patients are assisting her to achieve her objective of becoming a General Practice Nurse.

“From the moment I arrived to start my placement, I was made to feel welcome by all the staff at the Macksville Medical Centre,” Stella said.

“My preceptor Lesa Hennessy is very knowledgeable in community and practice nursing and she has exposed me to many facets of practice nursing, such as completing my cold

chain certificate, and techniques to improve vaccination delivery.

“Thanks to Lesa, I have rediscovered my passion for nursing and serving the community.”

Macksville Medical Centre Registered Nurse Lesa Hennessy said, “As a preceptor I found mentoring very rewarding, enabling me to share my clinical knowledge and skills.

“In addition, I enjoyed mentoring Student Nurse Stella and have provided her with a solid foundation moving forward in her nursing career.

“Stella has a very caring nature and is open to learning new skills.

Congratulations Stella on almost completing your placement.”

Casey Shorter, Practice Manager added, “It has been a wonderful opportunity for the practice and patients to be part of this program and to support Stella in her journey.”

“Our McGrath Breast Health Nurses are registered nurses with specialist training that provide support, information, care and counselling,” Ms Cross said.

Also attending was Women’s Health Services Nurse Annette Heather, who was keen to promote the support and services the network provides.

“DEHUMANISED,” is how 58 percent of respondents said they felt after giving birth, according to Australia’s largest study into women’s birthing experiences, conducted throughout 2021 and including responses from over 8500 women.

The online study concluded that many women blamed themselves for not being more informed about their birth choices and contained a multitude of distressing stories and comments from women who had suffered obstetric trauma and obstetric violence (when medical personnel conduct a procedure without obtaining

patient consent).

“Women with continuity of midwifery care, I mean the same midwife or a small team of midwives, usually have a better birthing outcome,” said Tracey Gietz, a midwife from the Nambucca Valley.

“We already know this,” she added.

Tracey is pregnant with her second baby, and she knows improving maternity care for Australian women is a cause worth sacrificing for, so she has decided to shave her head on 30 November at the Nambucca Markets to raise money for other mums-to-be.

“If I can draw attention to and in some way improve how women are treated throughout their birthing

experience it will be worth it,” she said.

Tracey believes her cause is exactly in line with the aims of the Maternity Consumer Network, a national organisation committed to changing public policy and recognising the rights of women throughout the birthing process.

She has set up a GoFundMe page and set herself the ambitious goal of raising $10,000 for this organisation.

Currently she has raised over $3000.

Red Cross host ‘BigCakeBake’ in Nambucca Heads ONCE a year the Red Cross holds a ‘BigCakeBake’ to raise money to help people going through tough times, but also to connect with loved ones or colleagues, share a laugh, and have a chat.

“This year our branch decided to have a cake stall, which was a ‘piece of cake’ but much more,” said Adele McCollom, Nambucca Valley, Red Cross Emergency Services.

The Nambucca Heads Red Cross Branch held their ‘BigCakeBake’ on Tuesday 17 October at Marion’s Red Cross Tea House in Bowra Street.

“Many members provided a range of delightful items of homebaked goodies that were reasonably priced and freshly baked.

“Normally the Tea House is closed on Tuesday but Irene opened the doors for this special occasion,” Adele said.

“Shoppers passing by could purchase from the stall tables out the front of the Tea House, or if you felt like a coffee or tea, table service was available inside.

“Our thanks to the many volunteers from the Branch who donated their time and skill to provide a truly remarkable mix of items for sale.

“The Branch is fortunate to have such a group of people who are very active, often behind the scenes.

“A very special ‘thank you’ to you, our community, who were so very supportive of this fundraising event and who took home and enjoyed the pleasures of home-baking.”

The Branch acknowledges the ongoing generosity of the people of the Nambucca Valley who play an active role in helping the Red Cross and communities in times of need.

Community Transport Company named best in the business THE Mid North Coast’s own community transport service, The Community Transport Company, has won the Community Transport Service of the Year Award for 2023 at the recent annual industry conference held in Port Macquarie.

The Community Transport Company was recognised for its significant social impact – valued at $110 million per year – given to the community through the work it does to provide access for all members of the community.

Over the last year The Community Transport Company has extended its services to the Far North Coast in the Tweed, Byron

and Ballina local government areas, and now provides over 150,000 trips to over 12,000 people.

CEO Bethany Langford says the fantastic service and result was down to the amazing volunteers who are out on the road every day.

“We have over 150 volunteers who are highly trained in safety, assisting people with mobility issues, and providing services to people who experience transport insecurity.

“They are an incredible bunch of people who work from dawn to dusk, and they love what they do for the community,” Miss Langford said.

The Community

Transport Company provides transport for people who experience transport insecurity.

These people might be frail, aged, have a disability or live in geographical or socially isolation.

The Community Transport Company has been lauded for its distinctive branding which reflects a conscious decision to defy typical aged care imagery.

By promoting a powerful and autonomous image for older individuals, it seeks to reshape society's view of ageing.

“Our values are ‘Love, Leadership, Impact, Fearlessness and Excellence’.

DEAR Jasminda,

Add-backs and spousal maintenance claim PENNY and Nick separated after a four year marriage.

They have one child, now five years old.

They have resolved their parenting dispute but Penny now applies to the Court for a determination regarding a property settlement and spousal maintenance.

Penny seeks 60 percent of the parties’ assets but Nick proposes a payment equivalent to just 30 percent.

Another issue in dispute is the nature of “add-backs” claimed by Penny.

Add-backs are sums that are addedback to the parties’ present assets.

They can include funds expended on legal fees, funds relating to the premature distribution of matrimonial assets or the dissipation of assets.

The Court states that add-backs are “exceptional and discretionary”.

The Court hears that after their separation, Nick continued to draw on their home loan, ultimately withdrawing $300,000.

The Court finds that the withdrawals were unnecessary to meet his reasonable expenses, describing them as “wanton” and adds-back the whole of the funds into the property pool.

The Court therefore assesses the total value of the parties' assets at $2 million.

The Court considers it “just and equitable” to make property settlement orders and accordingly considers the parties’ financial and non-financial contributions to their assets and the welfare of the family.

On the basis that Nick brought considerable assets into the relationship, the Court assesses his overall contributions towards their non-superannuation assets at 62.5 percent.

In adopting a two-pool approach, the Court accepts that Nick had substantially more superannuation at the commencement of their relationship and assesses his contributions towards the superannuation pool at 74 percent.

By way of a final property settlement consideration, the Court awards Penny adjustments in her favour due to the “vast” earning capacity difference of the parties, equating to 12.5 percent in relation to the non-superannuation assets and ordering that the superannuation pool is to be split equally.

Penny is also ordered to receive $400 per week by way of spousal maintenance for two years.

The irony of water DEAR News Of The Area, MARK Twain was a great humourist who saw the irony of ignorance and contradiction within humanity.

It is therefore fitting that Tony Judge would quote Twain in his opinion piece, ‘Muddying the water on water rights’.

Judge aims to discredit Gurmesh Singh and Michael Kemp with the suggestion that they have intentionally misled people by providing facts regarding harvestable water rights.

He attempts to create his argument with a wash of nonsense and unreferenced statements concerning the effects rainfall and runoff have on the local ecosystem.

It is with this that I would share another quote from Mark Twain: “Get your facts first then distort them as you wish.”

By acknowledging a fact Tony Judge then attempts to distort the truth by suggesting that the process of harvesting water has an adverse effect on the overall environment.

Not true.

I would encourage anybody with a serious interest in managing our environment as we move forward into a future of longer dries and more intense rainfall patterns should take the time to review the comprehensive

work done by visionary Peter Andrews.

Peter has proven that slowing the flow of runoff through a series of weirs and small dams increases the ability for waterways to survive through drought as well as providing more consistent and stable supply to promote healthier waterways from summit to sea.

The best people to understand and advise on this issue are those that have a considerable connection to the area and knowledge of the land.

Which brings me to another quote from Mark Twain: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

Based on the naive remarks from Judge I would presume that he is a ‘sea changer’ from the city who has been in the electorate since breakfast and is touting misinformed ‘Greens’ ideologies for his own agenda quick to slap away the hand that feeds him.

An important point to appreciate is that the food that is grown on our farms requires water.

You can’t have avocado on toast without avocado trees.

I am sure that Michael Kemp and Gurmesh Singh have the ‘place we call home’ in their hearts.

I have been fortunate to personally speak with Michael on

WE are going on a holiday with another couple -- my best friend and her obnoxious, bigot of a husband.

Normally I stay away from him, but we are sharing accommodation.

My best friend laughs off his behaviour and says he's harmless.

What on earth should I do?

Heidi S. Dear Heidi, You can't go on this holiday.

At best you'll be miserable, and at worst you will potentially lose your friendship with your best friend.

I'm not sure why you agreed to it in the first place.

Clearly you are already several occasions and have found him to be very approachable and progressive in terms of achieving better farming practices and sustainable management of our environment.

I believe he has the integrity and good judgement to engage in rational and respectful debate regardless of personal views.

As the Minns government continues ‘knee jerking’ our state resources into dangerous territory and attempting to box up our state forests and create the potential for catastrophic bushfires, they are strangling our

feeling completely stressed out about what should be an enjoyable and relaxing time away for all of you.

Life is too short to put up with bad behaviour.

It might make for great television, but this isn't reality TV, it's your life.

It sounds as though you've just agreed to go to appease everyone else and maybe that's half the problem.

Sometimes it's important to call out bad behaviour and set boundaries.

Otherwise situations can end up festering over many years as one person makes more and more concessions and the other gets more bold in what they say or do.

Your friend is married to this man and has made the decision to put up with him.

You're not married to him, and you don't have to make concessions.

If she's really your best friend, she should respect that.

Carpe diem, Jasminda primary producers from an essential means to grow and harvest food.

In support of local farmers and their ‘David vs Goliath’ battle against the giant authoritarian Labor government, I feel a final quote from Twain is appropriate.

Numbers Boom

By Chris KARAS

FOOTBALL in the Northern NSW region continues to prosper with record participation numbers across all competitions in 2023.

According to Northern NSW Football’s annual census, results have shown expanding growth which augurs well for the future of football in the region.

Northern NSW Football CEO Peter Haynes and General Manager Community Football Ross Hicks were delighted with the growing

numbers across the board.

The census, including information from 1 July 2022 to June 30 2023, was highlighted by a nineteen percent increase in the total number of registered participants, with registered players increasing by 20 percent.

MiniRoos participation, for players aged four to eleven-years-old, also increased by nine percent, with youth numbers also up by nine per cent and senior participants climbing four percent.

Registered volunteers were up nineteen percent, registered match officials have increased eight percent and registered coaches have grown two percent.

There was an immense 75 percent increase in the number of non-traditional participants including the Football FIVES and Fast FIVES competitions as well as NNSWF’s Walking Football and Kick-On for Women programs.

An elated Hicks told News Of The Area that the results were a huge fillip for the sport of football in the region.

“It is really important that our numbers within

our competitions continue to increase,” Mr Hicks revealed.

“The number of registered winter players is up by eight percent with a total of 54,358 which is significant,” he said.

“This increase is crucial in helping the game continue to grow and we hope that we see these trends continue to help build the future of football within Northern NSW,” Hicks added.

The Ladies cleaned up on Tuesday’s Medley Stableford, won by Jennifer Johnston (25) with 39 points from Glenys Thompson (15) 37 points on c/b from Alvin Rapley. The ball rundown to 32 points on c/b.

NOW that our Club Championships have been completed, the stress of stroke play is nearly over, except for our Medal of Medals, as we near the playoffs for our Top Gun Shootouts and Handiskins next month. The course has received over 100mm of good rain during the week, much to the delight of our Greens staff and members alike- It won’t be long before some of the dry and bare fairway areas will have recovered.

This week’s featured sponsor is Drew Walker Plumbing – thank you!

CORRECTION – My apologies to Stephen Carr, our 2023 Club Champion – last week’s report advised the name of our Open Day winner in error.

Andrew’s score now tops the Topgun Leaderboard! Other good scores from Dennis

committee set up the tables in the Function Room and some lovely handcraft by Alma Reid made the room look beautiful. Our bar and kitchen staff did another great job of looking after us all, which was a bit difficult with the bar refurbishments happening, but the day went well. A thank you to Bill and Ray for setting up for us and Andrew for umpiring on the day.

Our Club Fours Comp. again showcased the strength of our women bowlers, with some players stepping up to skip games for the first time.

It was a tight comp, with three out of four teams winning two games each. After a count back

on ends won, the team of Pat Fletcher, Kim Porter, Margaret Duffus and Deb Mann were the winners, with Nerida Blackford, Sandra Seckold, Eliza Brown and Rosemary Dugdale runners up.

We’ve had a number of teams enter events at various clubs in the district. At Sawtell for the District Senior Pairs an unexpected spectator slithered across the rink after the end of the game- a long, very healthy looking python. It freaked out some of the women who still had to complete their game before it disappeared.

We have begun our Club Triples Competition this week. Results on Tuesday

were R. Dugdale, E, Fleming and M. Smith winning over M. Fredericks, P. Fletcher and S. Seckold 22-7, and E. Brown, A. Power and M. Dwarte beating A. Johnston, B. Jones and N. Blackford 26-10.

Anyone who is keen to try out bowls can come down Sunday mornings or Thursday night to Twilight bowls- fun with music, great people and a relaxed atmosphere- and no snakes! We are waiting for the delivery of some kids’ sized bowls and new barefoot bowls for you to use and we will be running another Jack Attack comp towards the end of the year.

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.

Give life. Give blood. 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.

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.

UNDER THE VINES

ABC, 8.30pm

The dynamite charms of Rebecca Gibney (Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown, pictured with Gibney) cultivate this quirky and fail-safe comedy of characters about suddenly running an inherited winery in New Zealand, with mixed results. While the characters often tread a predictable path, it’s the free-flowing humour that hooks you in. As season two kicks off, the promise of romance between Daisy (Gibney) and Louis (Edwards) always dangles but is yet to ripen, as he makes another gallant attempt to save his flailing marriage.

After the marathon 51 episodes of fervent painting, tiling, setting up candles and/or flowers and general bickering between the contestants, it’s finally time for the moment of truth: auction night! It might only feel like yesterday since last year’s couples gave us both boom and bust tales in the tree-change spot of Gisborne, but now it’s time to find out if Charming Street, in coastal Hampton East, will serenade everyone with fairytale results. If host Scott Cam (pictured) appears a little nervous and sweaty, it’s understandable; real estate is an unpredictable beast.

Will millionaire veteran bidder Danny Wallis come out to play? And can this year’s villains, Kristy and Brett, win their happily ever after?

MILLION DOLLAR MURDERS

NBN, 9.05pm

Crime shows and podcasts are a wildly popular genre. From unnerving crime scene photos to witness testimonies and newly discovered evidence, they offer a fascinating, macabre look at the very dark side of human nature. It’s compelling to play armchair detective, putting together the pieces of the puzzling crime to perhaps even solve it. In this cold-case series, retired detective Deborah Wallace (pictured) is unravelling clues to some of Australia’s most baffling unsolved murders, with the backing of local police, in an effort to finally bring closure and put these cases to bed. Tonight, it’s the case of 26-year-old new mother Lynette White, who was tragically murdered in her Coogee apartment back in 1973.
