Nashos to be commemorated in Nambucca Heads

By Mick BIRTLES EACH year on 14 February many Australians reflect on the service to the nation of those who were called up to carry out a period of National Service.

These National Servicemen were required by law to see out a period of time in the armed services as the Government of the day considered that mandatory military service would augment the troop numbers of regular Armed Forces to a level that was sufficient to deal with a range of potential contingencies.

Known officially as National Servicemen's Day, the Nambucca Valley will mark the occasion with a service of commemoration at Anzac Park, Nambucca Heads, on Wednesday 14 February, assembling at 10:45 am for an

Terrence ‘Uncle Terry’ Donovan awarded OAM

By Mick BIRTLES

MR TERRENCE William Donovan, an advocate for Indigenous health and a dedicated community leader from Nambucca Heads, has been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division.

This prestigious honour acknowledges Mr Donovan's exceptional service to the community, particularly in the field of Indigenous health.

“It feels great to be recognised for the work you do and this would apply to anyone who is recognised for working hard for their community,” Mr Donovan, well known as Uncle Terry, told News Of The Area.

Mr Donovan's impactful contributions to Indigenous health are highlighted by his role as a Knowledge Translation Coordinator in the Aboriginal Health and Ageing Team at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA).

Since 2018, he has served as a Cultural Education Leader, fostering understanding and appreciation for Indigenous cultures.

His commitment to research and community outreach is further exemplified by his role as a Research Assistant in the Koori Growing Old Well study in 2017-2018, contributing valuable insights to the field.

Mr Donovan has actively participated in shaping national initiatives, including his involvement in a National Roundtable in 2018 focusing on developing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dementia research roadmap.

In the local community, Mr Donovan served as an Aboriginal Caseworker at Wundarra Support Services from 2007 to 2010 and

played a crucial role in Out of Home CARE from 2003 to 2007.

His dedication to improving Indigenous health extended to his role as an Aboriginal Outreach Worker for Healthy North Coast/ North Coast Primary Health Network from 2012 to 2017.

In the educational realm, Mr Donovan served as a lecturer at TAFE New South Wales, Coffs Harbour Campus, from 2007 to 2015.

Notably, Mr Donovan's extensive community service includes roles as Coordinator at the Aboriginal Housing Corporation (1977-1978) and Aboriginal Sites Officer at the National Parks and Wildlife Service (19741977).

His tenure as Team Leader at Nambucca Shire Council from 1988 to 1996 and earlier as a labourer from 1987 to 1988 underscores his longstanding commitment to community development.

Among the accolades received by Mr Donovan are the Outstanding Contribution to Research Award from NeuRA in 2019 and the Yandaara Aunty Grace Roberts Community

Worker Award from Coffs Harbour City Council in 2013.

The recognition of Mr Terrence William Donovan with the OAM is a testament to his unwavering dedication to Indigenous health and community service.

His outstanding

contributions continue to leave an indelible mark, fostering positive change in the lives of many.

“I urge anyone working in the area of Indigenous health to keep at it as, although we have come a long way, there is still much to be done,” Mr Donovan said.

Majestic Cinemas appoint administrators after reduced box office sales FROM Page 1 the hope that a restructure will allow them to remain operational.

The prominent regional cinema chain operates at sites in Nambucca Heads, Kempsey, Sawtell, Port Macquarie, Singleton, Inverell and Nelson Bay in NSW and at Wynnum and Nambour in Queensland.

“There have been a number of circumstances that have affected our ability to trade by reducing box office sales, including Covid-19 and the resulting loss of movie production, the impact of natural disasters such as floods and fires, and the recent writer and actor strikes in Hollywood,” Majestic Cinemas CEO Kieren Dell told News Of The Area.

“As a result, the Board

of Majestic Cinemas has decided to call in voluntary administrators who will deal with creditors and look at ways to restructure the business so that it can trade profitably into the future at as many of the current sites as possible.

In the announcement Majestic stressed that they understand how important these cinemas are to local communities, and remain committed to providing the same great entertainment and service to as many of the towns and areas they currently operate in as possible.

Support from the government, banks and many of their landlords helped Majestic get through the initial Covid-19 period.

Although many industries bounced back

from Covid-19 in 2022, cinema businesses have faced additional challenges caused by the pause in movie production on the back of Covid-19 restrictions, reducing major movie releases by about thirty percent, with revenue also being reduced by the same amount.

Pile onto that the impact of the writers and actors strike in Hollywood and recent cost-ofliving pressures, affecting the discretionary spending of the public and the running cost of cinemas, and it is not difficult to see why this industry finds it challenging to stay viable.

“With so many of these factors outside Majestic Cinemas’ control, it is clear that a new operating model is required to align the business to the future sustainability of the movie industry and, whilst we continue to trade,

q Alyssa MacKay and Margaret Wood, pictured here at Majestic’s Nambucca Heads Cinema, are hopeful, like so many other locals, that Majestic is able to keep operating into the future.

we urge your patience as we restructure the business,” Mr Dell said.

The positive news is that Majestic is still trading and they urge people to go out and support their local cinemas at

this time.

Miss Alyssa McKay of Valla Beach, a regular customer of Majestic's Nambucca Heads Cinemas, told News Of The Area, “It will be terrible if Majestic has to close its doors

as we, and so many people we know, really love coming here to the movies and traveling to Sawtell or Coffs Harbour to see a film would certainly be difficult.”

Almost half of all Australians killed in action in Vietnam were Nashos and well over 1000 of them were wounded.

In the past the Nambucca Branch of the National Servicemen's Association had the responsibility of

conducting the Nashos Day Service each year, however in recent years, due to reduced capacity of the ageing Nashos, the combined RSL sub-Branches of the Nambucca Valley have taken on this task.

National Serviceman

Mr Dallas Dent concluded, “Gathering each year in commemoration and camaraderie is very important to us as we reflect on a time when the country told us we were needed in the Army and we stepped up, not knowing what to expect.”

National Servicemen’s Day to be commemorated in Nambucca Heads

11:00 am start.

“Unlike myself and many others who volunteered to join the services, these men, we fondly call Nashos, were called from their civilian workplace and families to bolster the numbers of the armed forces,” Mr Dennis Lane, President of the Nambucca Heads RSL subBranch, told News Of The Area.

“They served Australia with distinction and pride to protect the ideals and principles we hold dear and many paid the supreme sacrifice.”

The National Service

Scheme was introduced in 1951 and although there were changes in the conduct of the scheme over the years including closing it down for a time, it came and went in various forms until 1972.

The scheme only applied to men and the 1951-59 version required those selected to undergo 179 days of military training in either the Army, Navy or Air Force.

For the 1964-72 version it was legislated that National Servicemen could be sent overseas on active service.

Data collection supports long-term river health FOLLOWING the completion of extensive training with OzGreen co-founder Sue Lennox, Nambucca Riverwatch volunteers have been undertaking monthly testing of five sites along the Nambucca River.

The citizen science initiative involves collecting, synthesising and analysing water quality data, then uploading results to the NSW Waterwatch Database and reporting to appropriate authorities such as Nambucca Valley Council and the EPA if there are any concerns.

Collecting and uploading long term water quality information will provide baseline data of the health of the Nambucca catchment.

Project Managers Elizabeth Newman and Beverly Gibbs are committed to expanding the sites for testing along the 87 km of the Nambucca River.

“At present our funding has only allowed us to purchase one testing kit which is shared among the five teams,” Elizabeth said.

“We will be actively seeking further funding in 2024 to assist our enthusiastic volunteers.”

River water monitoring sites are located at Welsh Pioneer Park in Talarm, Park St at Bowraville, Wia Ora in Missabotti, Deep Creek at Valla and Bellwood Park in Nambucca.

Volunteers test pH, water and air temperatures,

Scotts Head locals frustrated with lack of police presence

By Ned COWIE ON Saturday evening, 27 January, a group of partygoing youths converged on Scotts Head, damaging private property, a local business and public facilities.

The alleged perpetrators were believed to be aged between sixteen and 22.

A vacant house, which was being renovated, was entered and damaged, with bottles and trash scattered throughout.

The owner took to social media to express her dismay at the incident.

“We are shattered by the cruel acts to our beautiful

new home, and also to the Scotts Head village that we love so much,” she said.

“It’s not just our personal residence but all of our community’s right to a peaceful existence in this beautiful place that has been breached.

“We all need to feel safe in our community, homes and public amenities,” she said.

Police are investigating the break and enter on her property.

A local bottle shop also suffered a smashed window, while a nearby shop’s outdoor furniture was damaged.

A NSW Police spokesperson said officers were called to Ocean Street, Scotts Head between 11 q

and 12 pm on the Saturday night to reports of youths aged between sixteen and 20 being loud and littering.

A direction to ‘Move On’ was issued, with officers on the scene reporting that this was complied with.

Locals told a different story however, with many claiming that youths had thrown bottles at police, who departed and did not return for some hours, if at all.

“It was a rainy night, so we thought they (the party goers) would just go home,” said one resident who lives just a few doors from the vacant house which was damaged.

A public toilet at Forster Beach was also damaged.

It is not known where the young party goers arrived in the area from.

“This is not the first incident like this.

“There have been several parties in the area over the past year that have caused problems,” said one resident who did not wish to be identified.

The local community was devastated when a table and chairs known as the Whale Table, located at Forster

Beach near the Surf Club, were damaged a few months ago.

Burn-offs: Do they save lives and property? q

An out-of-control hazard reduction burn in a forested area behind a property in the Clarence Valley.

By Ned COWIE FORESTRY Australia has defended the use of hazard reduction or prescribed burning as an established and long-used method of preparing for and reducing the severity of bushfires.

A recently published report by the Australian National University and Curtin University found that while prescribed burning temporarily reduced fuel loads in forests, it could disrupt forest ecosystems and possibly create longer periods of additional flammability.

“Scientific consensus amongst bushfire scientists confirms that prescribed burning is a key tool in managing bushfires,” said Dr Tony Bartlett AFSM, Forestry Australia’s Science Policy Adviser.

Many local timber industry professionals agree.

According to Matthew Dyer of Bowraville, cool fires can help with seedling growth and reduce the fuel load of fires.

“There are three types of fire I would say,” he said.

“You’ve got the ones that just go through the leaf litter.

“Then there are ones that burn seedlings and go up to about five metres high.

“Finally, there are crown fires like the ones we saw in 2019, which go through the top of the forests,” Matthew told News Of The Area.

“It has become very hard for State Forests to get a burning permit,” he said.

“In the past, more people in control of these things were

oriented to and had experience with the country they applied to.

“It’s a one-size-fits-all rule but everywhere is a bit different and what works down south might not apply to us in the Nambucca Valley,” he complained.

The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) also supports prescribed burning as part of bush fire plans, although weather conditions tend to make a very small window of

opportunity for carrying them out.

The RFS website stresses that hazard reduction is “just one way of preparing for bushfires”, a point that Dr Bartlett is also keen to emphasise.

“While there is no panacea for reducing the impacts of catastrophic bushfires, prescribed burning is a scientifically proven part of the solution.

“Simply, reduced fuel levels

in forests will reduce the severity of bushfires on all bar the most catastrophic fire weather conditions,” he added.

“Forestry Australia’s view is that using cool burning to reduce fuel hazards is critical to good forest fire management and very consistent with the way Aboriginal people managed these forests for thousands of years,” according to Dr Bartlett.

Debut doco tells story of Newry protests

By Andrew VIVIAN

LONG-TIME News Of The Area readers will be familiar with the ongoing protests to protect Newry State Forest.

A new documentary film, ‘Nguura Muruy’ (Forest Camp), tells the story of local community members and Gumbaynggirr custodians attempting to save Newry State Forest from planned logging operations.

The grassroots film was shot on broadcast quality cameras over five weeks and

edited by Manic Seeds Media.

First-time director Sandy Greenwood conducted interviews with Elders and activists and narrates the film too.

A Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti and Bundjalung custodian, Sandy works across stage, screen, publishing and the corporate sector as an actor, producer, writer and cultural consultant.

Ms Greenwood led two campaigns alongside Elders and allies to protect Nambucca and Newry State

Forest from industrial logging between 2020-2024.

“I was inspired by how well local activists and Gumbaynggirr people worked together – it was reconciliation in action to protect country,” Ms Greenwood said of her inspiration to make the film.

“I wanted to capture that on film to inspire others.”

Ms Greenwood said filmmaking highlights included the opportunity to interview elders, learning about the cultural significance of the forests, and being able to capture the diversity of voice in the community.

Ms Greenwood founded production company Jinda Productions in 2018 with the aim of telling stories from a female Indigenous perspective.

Her first production, the critically acclaimed onewoman play ‘Matriarch’, has been previously profiled in News Of The Area.

She wrote, directed and performed the awardwinning play and is now working on writing an intergenerational memoir based on it.

Ms Greenwood has worked in the US as a script consultant and as a First

Nations cultural consultant in California.

Her numerous screenwriting credits include Indigenous storylines for independent feature films, short films, and corporate videos as well as extensive writing for print and digital media, including adapting classic Australian children's stories to include First Nations representation.

She is currently filming an exciting new First Nations travel series, 'Always Was', that will explore Australia's Indigenous ancestral homelands and highlight the powerful connection between

Greens gather to plan election strategies

By Andrew VIVIAN GREENS MPs, members and supporters from across the Mid North Coast will descend on Coffs Harbour this Saturday, February 10, to attend a regional forum hosted by the Coffs Harbour Greens.

With local government elections imminent, the regional forum is a priority for Mid North Coast Greens and will be attended by Federal Senator David Shoebridge and NSW Greens MLC Sue Higginson.

“This forum will be a coming together of the most influential Greens leaders in our Mid North Coast region, with councillors attending from Taree, Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Bellingen, Grafton and, of course, Coffs Harbour,” forum organiser and City of Coffs Harbour councillor Jonathan Cassell

Friday, 9 February 2024

said.

“Greens representation is growing across all levels of government in Australia and the Mid North Coast is no different.”

Cr Cassell said the presence of State and Federal MPs at the regional forum will help build momentum for both this year’s local government election and a federal election sometime in the next fifteen months.

“The Greens are the only party that doesn't accept corporate donations, takes climate change seriously and has genuinely sustainable economic policies,” Cr Cassell said.

“We’ll be talking about these things and much more on Saturday.”

Greens MP and spokesperson for the Mid North Coast, Sue Higginson said, “The Greens are fearless and relentless advocates for

creativity and country.

‘Nguura Muruy’ recently debuted at the Northbank Community Gardens in Bellingen.

“We had two very successful screening nights with more than 300 people attending,” Ms Greenwood said.

“It’s strong and polished and I think it's going to do really well in the International film festival circuit.

“This is my debut as a director and I want to continue to make films about country, culture and community.”

“Greens members that are elected to Councils are accountable, diligent and independent from influence by developers and other vested interests.

“Local Councils and communities of the Mid

North Coast are on the frontlines of climate change and need advocates that know and understand the challenges we face.

“Crucial issues like housing, infrastructure maintenance and preservation of community amenities are core issues for

all Greens.

“Our Mid North Coast members are ready and willing to meet these issues head on and get Governments moving in the right direction.”

Senator Shoebridge said the Mid North Coast was on the "frontlines of both the

climate catastrophe and the cost of living crisis".

“Having Greens representatives from all levels of government and the community together is an exciting opportunity to work out how we push for the essential changes we need for people and the planet."

Cattle prices on the increase as lot feeders stock up

By Ned COWIE

DESPITE fears of a dry summer, the growing season has been a productive one for cattle farmers and prices have continued to increase steadily since their October 2023 low.

589 head of cattle passed through the saleyards in Macksville last Thursday and prices were at their highest in nine months - since the end of autumn.

“The weather bureau was predicting a dry season and that reflected in early prices,” Auctioneer Jessie Stanton of G J Kennedy and Co. told News Of The Area, “but we’ve had good rain since then and everyone has a lot more confidence now.”

The only category not topping last fortnight’s price was ‘bulls’, but according to Jessie, this is because there were relatively few and only heavier bulls up for auction last week.

“Other than that, all sectors increased per kilogram with steers reaching the top price

of $4.20 per kg and an average price of $3.49,” he said.

Heifers came in at between $2.91 and $3.40 per kg liveweight.

Compared to last year when average prices had dropped to below $2 per kg, this can make a huge difference to the price of a 500+kg animal.

According to Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) the nationwide feeder steer indicator (prices over seven days across all sales) lifted by 98 cents per kilogram liveweight and although numbers of feeder steer for sale increased slightly, this price rise was attributed to strong competition from lot feeders looking to secure their stock.

Prices last week in Macksville were not quite as high as those seen in other areas of the country, with Queensland outperforming other states although Victoria did record the highest price rise.

Since prices are a result of supply and demand, some

differences could be attributed to the large number of animals for sale (589) on Wednesday in

Macksville.

“From now over the next few months we should see

more weaners coming onto the market leading up to our main weaner sale in May.”

capacity to cover ongoing expenses and ability to fund core council services and infrastructure for their communities.

It will also identify ways to improve budgetary performance and accountability within the sector so democratically elected councillors are empowered to make decisions for the effective running of their councils.

“The financial sustainability of councils is one of the most significant issues facing local government in this state,” Minister for Local Government Ron Hoenig said.

“With the cost of delivering core services

to communities rising, it’s critically important councils are financially sustainable, but that needs to be balanced with the impact on tightening household budgets.

“That’s why we’ve asked IPART to make recommendations about whether the current financial model of councils enables long-term financial sustainability and whether councils have the financial capacity and mechanisms needed to deliver budget improvements.”

Minister Hoenig said there needs to be a closer examination so that the solution to financial challenges is not increasing revenue through raising

council rates or seeking financial support from the State Government.

The Country Mayors Association of NSW (CMA) has welcomed the review announcement, albeit with some reservations.

“It’s brilliant that IPART has been mandated to conduct this review, we have been calling for this, but we are concerned with the draft recommendations handed down by the Government,” said CMA Chair Jamie Chaffey, who also serves as the Mayor of Gunnedah.

Mr Chaffey said the process will be too drawn out.

“Submissions close on 15 March, a report is then due to the Government twelve months after the Terms of Reference have been finalised, and then the

work begins.

“It’s simply too long.

“We’d like to see them wholly focussed on the financial issues.”

All points are relevant, he said, but can be put on hold until after this initial review is complete.

His organisation’s member Mayors want to see real action take place to fix problems with the local government financial model first.

“Because the financial model is not fit for purpose, councils are in the cycle of needing to go back to their ratepayers and residents in their communities every five to ten years to put up their rates.

“Communities cannot sustain that,” he said.

“Better and more consistent funding of rural and regional councils,

particularly in relation to roads, is critical to financial sustainability.

“Simplistically questioning and therefore tarnishing the professional capacities of elected members and staff is far from helpful and demonstrates the need for well-informed commonsense submissions to IPART regarding the draft Terms of Reference.”

The draft Terms of Reference are now open for feedback and can be viewed at www.ipart.nsw. gov.au/Home/Industries/ Local-Government/Reviewof-council-financial-modelin-NSW You can make submissions on the draft Terms of Reference until 15 March 2024.

‘Forest Chaplaincy’ to be officially launched in Gleniffer ON Sunday 18 February at 2pm at an outdoor service on the grounds of Gleniffer Church, the Uniting Church Mid North Coast Presbytery will induct Reverend Dr Jason John into the unique role of ‘Forest Chaplain’.

Although Jason has performed the role since November last year, next Sunday will provide an opportunity for the community to meet him and learn more about the role.

Funded by the Quakers and the Uniting Church, the role of the ‘Forest Chaplain’ is to provide pastoral care support to people engaged in ‘defending’ forests from potential harm, particularly within the proposed Great Koala National Park (GKNP) area.

“It can be despairing and intense work at times for them, so it’s important to give them a safe outlet for that,” Jason told NOTA. “As time goes on, there’s opportunities for people to gather together as a group and debrief that way too.

“A group of us started a forest advocacy which morphed into a chaplaincy role instead,” he said.

“So, instead of doing direct advocacy for the forests, I am supporting the people that are.”

Following forest protests or rallies, Jason will reach out to those involved for the opportunity to chat and debrief.

Currently, small groups of protesters are gathering daily in several state forests in the region.

Larger protest camps assemble depending on which areas are slated for immediate logging operations.

“What’s confronting for people most is seeing the logging happening and the way it’s accelerating in this area,” he said.

“We should be pausing logging until we decide where the park’s going to be, and the opposite is happening.”

A PLAN to tackle the state’s housing crisis has been announced by the NSW Government, with a reform bringing key stakeholder groups and government departments together under one banner.

The new agency, Homes NSW, will bring together the housing and homelessness services of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office

(AHO).

Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson said the creation of a single agency to manage social and affordable housing and homelessness services is a “common sense approach”.

Homes NSW will be tasked with turbocharging the construction, maintenance and repair of social and affordable homes across the state.

It is hoped the reform will

simplify tenancy services, provide important homelessness services, and drive collaboration between State and Federal Governments, sector experts, peak bodies, local councils, and community housing providers.

“We need safe, good quality, accessible homes for people who need them most,” Ms Jackson said.

State Gov announce housing system reform human right and Homes NSW will be the driver of much needed and long overdue reform to the social and affordable housing sector.

“For too long, social housing in this state has been neglected – simple issues such as a leaking tap or even the ability to register on the waitlist have been unnecessarily complicated. ‘’That’s why this overhaul is needed.”

Homes NSW Chief Executive

Rebecca Pinkstone said the aim is to create the “best social housing system in the country”.

"I look forward to the challenge of building a thriving social and affordable housing sector in NSW,” she said.

“We will work in partnership to maximise homes on the ground, reduce instances of homelessness and deliver a quality housing service for our residents.”

‘Forest friends’ declare Tuckers Nob closed q Locals near Tuckers Nob State Forest say they have closed the road. Photo: Karlee Brown.

By Andrew VIVIAN A GROUP of logging protesters have gathered to symbolically close Tuckers Nob State Forest to forestry operations.

Local residents along Roses Road, Gleniffer, with the support of the ‘Friends of Tuckers Nob’ group, have posted ‘notice of closure’ signs at the main entrances to compartments 26 and 27 of the state forest, which are proposed for logging operations this year.

Tuckers Nob State Forests sits within the proposed area for a Great Koala National Park.

Protesters say it is a known location for koalas, as well as a biodiversity hotspot for threatened species including the endangered Ringwood, or Aniseed myrtle, a rainforest tree which grows only in the Bellinger, Kalang and Nambucca River valleys.

Dr Tim Cadman told News Of The Area the Ringwood has been nominated for assessment as endangered to the NSW threatened species committee.

Mr Cadman said he has requested a permit to undertake research of the koala population, but is not hopeful he will be given permission.

Friday, 9 February 2024

“If forestry can close the forest to us, the people, we can close it to them,” said Roses Road resident Brett Harrison.

“We don’t want this precious area logged.

“We want to save our beloved koalas.”

A spokesperson for Forestry Corporation NSW said, “Even though hardwood timber plantations are not native forests, Forestry

Corporation puts measures in place to protect wildlife that may traverse the plantations and operators are trained in koala search and identification and inspect every tree before felling.

“Plantations are managed in a broader forested landscape that also includes adjacent habitat that is permanently protected in native forests.”

By Mick BIRTLES

SEVERAL weeks ago News Of The Area reported that the Mentally Healthy Nambucca Valley Calendar 2024 had been completed and distributed for sale across the district.

The cheeky calendar featuring an assortment of local blokes in various stages of undress has been produced as a novel way to raise awareness and funds for those struggling with mental health issues in the Nambucca Valley.

On 31 January, the Mentally Healthy Nambucca Valley venture, in partnership with Lifetime Connect, was officially launched at the Macksville Country Club.

Several of the local blokes who appear in the calendar were on hand to support the launch and meet fellow ‘calendar models’, sharing a few laughs over a meal and a beverage or two.

Chris Humphries, who appears

alongside his Bowraville Goannas team-mates in the calendar, told News Of The Area, “Having had my own struggles with mental health I wanted to do something to raise awareness and help others going through what I went through.”

Former Police Officer Travis Pocock added, “If this calendar can raise awareness then it is a good thing as one of the things you realise when you are struggling with mental health is that there is just not enough support services available in the community for people that are suffering.”

Both men were highly complimentary of the Mentally Healthy Nambucca Valley team of Ashleigh Greaves and Matt Baker and, although the underlying message of the calendar is serious, they admitted that there was a lot of laughs during the photo shoot.

Northern Eagles Junior Championships

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Coffs Coast’s best junior touch players have excelled against Northern NSW’s finest during the Northern Eagles Junior Championships at Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park.

The Coffs Harbour Hurricanes hosted the event which attracted over 800 players.

Hurricanes vice-president Judith McNeill said Coffs Harbour teams exceeded expectations.

“It was awesome to see so many kids from all over Northern NSW compete for the title,” she said.

“With over 800 competitors from eleven clubs, it was a great opportunity for affiliates to showcase their Under 10s to Under 18s representative teams.

“The event also serves as a selection tournament for the Northern NSW teams that will compete at the Junior Regional Championships in April.

“We were able to send six Coffs teams to compete this year and they all surpassed our expectations.

“With all of our teams making the finals series, we’re hopeful that several of our players will be selected to represent the Northern Eagles.”

McNeill particularly praised the performance of the Coffs Under 10s

team.

“The Coffs Under 10s team were dominant in their division,” she said.

“They finished Day 1 at the top of their pool with two wins and one draw.

“Day 2 brought scorching 33-degree heat, but this could not slow down the Coffs boys with them winning their four remaining games, taking out the Grand Final against the Port Macquarie Makos 13-10.”

Coffs Under 10s coach Jackie Galvin, who had twin boys, Rocco and Blake, in the team, said the players were already looking forward to their next games.

“I’m so proud of the boys and they are already talking about their next big game,” she said.

With some of the boys playing in different teams for social Touch, it was important for the team to gel as a whole group, something Jackie emphasised in her coaching sessions with the team.

“Going into Round 1, we were just hoping they would find their rhythm and be competitive,” she said.

“So, when they won their first game 11-2, we were completely blown away and we knew it was going to be a special weekend.”

Woolgoolga Touch also had great success at the event with their Girls

12s team, coached by Tania White and Libby Mangion, also winning their division.

“We couldn’t be prouder of the girls.” Tania said.

“For many of them, it was their first go at representative touch.

“They started the comp off slow with a loss to Ballina, but they continued to improve upon each

grand final rematch at Bellingen.

Coffs Colts had a 21-run win against Diggers Cricket Club Blue in their local derby at Forsyth Park.

Sawtell Sixers had a three wicket win against Macksville Bulls Blue at Toormina Oval.

The opening round also saw the Nana Glen Lizards have an eight wicket win against Bellingen/Dorrigo at Bellingen.

David Horseman, Competition Coordinator - Mid North Coast, said they had added another team to make it a ten-team competition for the second season of the summer.

“We added an extra team from Macksville, so we no longer have a bye which is great news,” he said.

The second season goes for six rounds, with the semi-finals to be played on Saturday, 16 March.

The top four teams on the ladder will play off for the A title, with teams finishing between 5th and 8th playing off for the B title.

The grand finals will be played on Saturday, 23 March.

Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s Under 10s, Under 14s, and Under 16s seasons resumed this week.

Coffs Under 12s cricketers start second season of the summer

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Coffs Coast’s Under 12s cricketers have begun their second season of the summer, after the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association decided to split up the season and start afresh when returning from school holidays.

Opening round matches of the second season were played last Saturday morning.

First season champions Bellingen Green picked up where they left off, having a nine wicket win against Diggers Cricket Club Red in their

The Girls 12s eventually went on to win their division in an exciting upset which saw them turn the tables on division favourites, Ballina Bull Sharks, winning the game, 3-0.

Both Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga are relatively new affiliates to NRL Touch, and both clubs are buoyed by their recent success at the Northern Eagles

Junior Championships.

“It’s just so encouraging to see so many kids from the Coffs Coast attending the tournament, improving their skills and having success,” Judith McNeill said.

“We can’t wait for next year, where we can continue to take on the more established clubs like Port Macquarie, who took out the honours of Affiliate of the Tournament.”

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Dorin’s Draws

DEAR Jasminda,

Court’s balancing act in disputed Will HARRY passes-away leaving an estate worth $3 million.

Harry’s will, prepared 30 years ago, leaves his whole estate to his son, George.

He makes no provision for his three daughters.

The three daughters make “family provision” claims against Harry’s estate.

At the hearing, the daughters ask the Court to award each of them $600,000 and express the view that it is appropriate for them to be treated equally.

There is no evidence as to why Harry chose to disinherit his daughters.

George submits that the daughters should not be treated equally and suggests that given their respective financial needs, they should only be entitled to receive amounts ranging between $100,000 and $300,000.

During the course of the hearing, the Court hears that George worked on the family farm for many decades.

The Court also hears that the three daughters grew-up on the farm and after moving-out, there were periods of estrangement between them and their father.

George states that he wishes to continue to operate the family farm, although the Court notes that at the time of hearing, George is in his 60s and the farm is no longer profitable.

The Court hears that one of the daughters will soon require a placement in a nursing home and accordingly, the payment of a substantial bond.

Another daughter has substantial health problems and wishes to pay-off her mortgage with a view to retiring.

The other daughter is gainfully employed but her home, which needs substantial repairs, is subject to a mortgage and she has very little superannuation.

The Court states that it is a difficult task to properly balance the claims of all the parties and although it is not the Court’s role to re-write Harry’s will, on the basis of “community expectations” and Harry’s “moral duty” to each of his children, orders lump-sum payments of $600,000, $450,000 and $300,000 to each of the plaintiff daughters.

Sounds sustainable to me

DEAR News Of The Area,

IN answer to Warren Tindall’s question in his letter titled ‘Why are today’s logs so small?’ in the Nambucca Valley NOTA (2/2/24), part of the reason that “today’s logs are so small” is that timber harvesting only occurs in regrowth forests in NSW. Regrowth forests contain a mix of regenerating, young pole and early mature forest that has been harvested for timber many times over the last 150 years.

The average log size from regrowth forests is smaller than the logs being harvested prior to the introduction of the Regional Forest Agreement in March 2000.

Before the RFAs, sawmills sourced their timber from both existing regrowth forests along the coast and older, more mature forests further inland.

Many of these older forests were classified as “old growth”, as part of the Comprehensive Regional Assessment-RFA process and were protected in conservation reserves or by prescription through regulation.

Currently, over 90 percent of known old-growth forests on public lands are within formal or informal nature conservation reserves

(http://www.oldforests.com.au/ pages/Presentations/Clancy.pdf).

The change in average log size is entirely because of these changes, not overcutting, as suggested by Mr Tindall.

As an incentive to invest in technology capable of handling a smaller average log size, sawmills were offered resource security in the form of Wood Supply Agreements, which reflected both the terms of the RFA and the sustainable yield of timber from the forest.

On State forests, the sustainable yield is calculated over a rolling 100-year period, which were updated following the 2019-20 bushfires.

Simply put, the sustainable yield is ensuring the amount of timber harvested or allocated under contracts does not exceed the growth rate of the forest.

On the north coast, despite the widespread impacts of the fires, the long-term sustainable timber yield had only declined by four percent and “the models show that the total volume of timber produced today can be sustained over the long term” (Source: https://www.forestrycorporation. com.au/sustainability/the-storyof-forestry/timber-volumes-and-

HOW do I know if a social media friend request is legitimate?

Lately I have been getting quite a few requests and the people (particularly the men) look like people I'd love to get to know better, but I find it strange that they are seeking me out.

I live alone with my two dogs having recently moved to the area.

Wendy K. Dear Wendy, Unfortunately, there are many scammers out there who love to prey on vulnerable people.

It can be flattering to think that others want to join your circle of friends, but there are some very clear warning signs that you should be aware of, or else you may find that they weasel their way into your life and, potentially, your bank account.

The first thing to check is their location.

While you may love to know someone from Florida or Wisconsin, you have to ask yourself why, if they are living

so far away, do they want to strike up a friendship.

Other major 'alert and alarmed' signs include men or women dressed in military uniforms, men who look like Dr Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy (particularly if they have a stethoscope casually draped around their neck) and widowed men holding Maltese terriers with flexed biceps.

A quick scroll will reveal very little about them aside from the fact they love driving their Porsche on the weekends or sipping cocktails in the Bahamas.

Those are all cues that all is not as it seems and you've no doubt come into contact with a grifter.

Try Google Reverse Image to see if their photos match their 'About' information.

If they start sweet talking you, professing their love, or anything to do with transferring money, run for the hills.

It's often better to try meeting local people by joining a community or sporting group.

Then what you get is what you see, even if it's a sweaty dude named Ivan training for the local fun run.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

modelling).

That sounds sustainable to me.

Mr Tindall’s reference to jinkers (log trucks) full of “diminishing matchsticks”, as evidence of the decline in log diameters, and claims that “poor quality timber comes from the skinny resource”, fails to acknowledge that plantations and regrowth forests require thinning of the slower growing and defective stems to promote the growth of the better quality,

healthier retained stems.

As a forest scientist with more than 35 years’ experience on the NSW north coast in both public and private sector forestry and land management, I think I have a pretty good handle on “post-war logging history and the current resource’s maths”.

about five minutes, then took off again.

This went on for about an hour.

They have done this before and if it is going to happen on a regular basis, I think in the consideration of the local

population, we should get some warning that this is going to happen.

After twelve ends Neil’s team led 10-6, four ends later Keys’ crew held a 14-10 advantage, due in no small part to some top bowls from young Luke in only his second game of championship bowls at the Den. After end nineteen, Keys and co led 18-11 with only two ends to play when, as he has done so many times in the past, Roey produced the bowl of the day to remove two opposition bowls and make four shots. His skip plonked two more into the head , made six shots and suddenly the score was 18-17 with one end to play. Pollard’s team would advance to the final after getting the two shots needed, final score 19-18 in a classic game. Well done to all players for a top day, at time of writing the final was

MARY BERRY’S LOVE TO COOK

SBS FOOD, 7.30pm

MONDAY

THE IRRATIONAL

SEVEN, 9.15pm

Who needs a hardened cop with a drinking problem when you can be seduced by a smartly dressed behavioural scientist who has a twinkle in his eye and a knack for grasping human nature? Law & Order’s Jesse L. Martin shines bright in this witty American procedural that sticks to a pleasingly traditional formula. Martin’s dogged Alec Mercer is the consummate professional. In tonight’s movie-length premiere, a former marine confesses to murdering his influencer girlfriend, but it doesn’t add up for Mercer.

Most folks can’t wait to retire, with visions of eating and just generally relaxing in their twilight years. For The Great British Bake Off’s Mary Berry, all she wants to do is cook. Berry has published around 100 cookbooks throughout her still-evolving 60-year career, but the 88-year-old is also a charming host with a passion for sharing lipsmacking recipes through her many TV shows.

You could call her the David Attenborough of the cooking world.

In this new series she branches out, meeting other cooks, growers and foodies to share tales and dishes. In tonight’s premiere, fresh air beckons in Berry’s idyllic garden.

WEDNESDAY

MR BATES VS THE POST OFFICE SEVEN, 8.30pm

Every now and then, a TV show ascends to more than just an entertaining distraction. A hit in Britain, this superb four-part drama based on real events outraged viewers and has placed pressure on the British government to overturn wrongful convictions in with its uncovering of a miscarriage of justice that is hard to fathom. This four-part series covers a scandal that spanned 15 years involving a faulty IT system in the British Post Office, which led to financial ruin for hundreds.

q Last week's winners Jordan and Cohen Welsh with Brad Fortescue and Matt Ward.

By Max TURNER SATURDAY’S Stroke and Medal competition at the Macksville Country Club Golf saw Allan Clarke playing off scratch (0) to win the Spoon event, which is for the best gross score on the day.

Averaged out over the years he has been playing he would likely have won over 150 Spoon events.

Playing off a handicap of seven, Dane Luffman won the A grade Net event with Phil Bambury the B grade and Adam Ross the C grade.

Nearest the pins were Matt Ward (A) , nobody (B) and Noel Austin (C).

Jo Montague was the best of the ladies.

Steve Hunt won the Mid Week Competition with Steve Ellis runner up.

Rod Curtis' Chook Run was won

by John Dowzard with Darren Pike runner up.

Talking point on the day was that Steve Hunt and Ross Donnelly's team had to call Roy Rudner and Brian King through - unheard of.

Saturday’s Stroke and Medal competition was sponsored by Sable Engineering.
