TWO of the region’s leading police officers have been awarded Kings Birthday 2025 Honours.
Head of the Mid North Coast Police District
Superintendent Shane Cribb, and Manning-Great Lakes Detective Sergeant Craig Ryan (formally of Port Macquarie), were among only nine serving officers from across NSW awarded the prestigious Australian Police Medal (APM).
"This year’s recipients have shown extraordinary courage and commitment,” Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley said.
Acting Commissioner Peter Thurtell APM said the award acknowledged “career-long dedication and exemplary service” and “a selfless commitment to serving the people of NSW for many years and decades.”
Superintendent Shane Cribb
Superintendent Shane Cribb joined the NSW Police Force in 1991 at Paddington Police Station.
In 1995, he started with the South Region Major Crime, Drug and Homicide squads, conducting protracted investigations into organised and serious crime.
In 2001, he was promoted
to Sergeant at Cobar Police Station where he helped secure 1100 tonnes of donated grain for the droughtaffected district.
From there, he was promoted to Inspector at the Darling River Local Area Command (LAC); Chief Inspector in the CoffsClarence and Mid North Coast police districts; and Superintendent and Commander of the Canobolas LAC.
Supt Cribb returned to the coast in 2017, firstly with the Manning-Great Lakes Police District and then the Mid North Coast District for a second time, where he is currently based in Port Macquarie.
He is the local emergency management controller for the Mid North Coast and has led responses to floods, bushfires, the COVID-19 pandemic and other emergencies, including the 2019 Black Summer fires and most recently the October 2023 fires in the Upper Macleay.
Supt Cribb is described as a strong advocate for the communities he oversees, and a champion for First Nations people - having implemented a number of community-led initiatives to divert Aboriginal youth in particular from the judicial system.
Detective Sergeant Craig Ryan
Detective Sergeant Craig Ryan joined the NSW Police Force on 30 July 1989.
During his 35 years of policing, he has worked in the
Taree, Port Macquarie, Forster and Maitland police stations and with the Northern Region Crime Squad, Hunter Target Action Group, Northern Domestic Violence High Risk Offender Team, Northern
Region Enforcement Squad and the Proactive Crime Team Manning-Great Lakes.
Det. Sgt Ryan has trained many operatives in controlled operations and in a range of covert techniques, to identify
and gain evidence of large commercial drug supply. His relationship with the Aboriginal community is one of great respect with Elders acknowledging his fairness and tenacity.

BHPA flood drive a success
By Luke HADFIELD
hand items were carefully inspected to ensure their suitability.
A large trailer and two vehicles were filled with donated goods, which have now been delivered to support neighbouring communities affected by recent flooding.
THE Bonny Hills Progress Association (BHPA) has extended heartfelt thanks to the local community and surrounding villages following an overwhelming response to its recent Flood Recovery Collection held on Sunday, 8 June.
“It is truly a privilege to be part of this amazing community we call Bonnys,” BHPA Vice President Roger Barlow said. “Yesterday’s collection for badly impacted flood victims to our south was a great example of how we can respond at short
notice to help others in need.”
The initiative was the brainchild of Bonny Hills resident Virginia Cox, with BHPA Vice President Kathy Regan publicly thanking Mrs Cox for her efforts in both suggesting and organising the collection day, which was held at the Bonny Hills Community Hall.
We’re vaccinated for winter so we don’t miss a thing.
Mrs Cox was ably supported by her husband Graeme and local resident Wendy Taylor, who assisted with setup and coordination.
Additional help came from members of the BHPA committee, who pitched in to ensure the day ran smoothly.
A clear set of donation guidelines was advertised ahead of the event, giving residents a focused understanding of what items were needed most.
The Community Hall was thoughtfully arranged to create a welcoming and organised space for those wishing to contribute.
“This was a true indication of the great operational style that has evolved within BHPA,” said Mrs Regan.
“Many projects and issues are covered within any one year but not every member is involved in every project.”
Donations steadily flowed throughout the day, accompanied by positive feedback from community members, many of whom were grateful for a dedicated, local collection point.
While a significant number of donations were brand new, all second-
Everything was then sorted, categorised, and clearly labelled for delivery the following day.
“Local Wingham woman Lauren and her team welcomed us enthusiastically today at their collection centre,” said Mrs Cox, after personally delivering the donations.
According to BHPA, Lauren and her daughter tragically lost their home in a fire some time ago, prompting a groundswell of support from the Wingham community.
Determined to give back, Lauren has since established a collection hub for floodaffected residents at the Baptist Church in Wingham, supported by a team of dedicated volunteers.
The Wingham community was deeply appreciative of the donation delivery from Bonny Hills, not only for the volume and quality of goods, but also for how thoughtfully and efficiently they had been packed and prepared.
The BHPA encourages anyone still wishing to assist to consider donating through trusted channels such as www.givit.org. au or directly to the Dairy Farmers relief effort via www.midcoastdags.com.au/ donate.

Construction underway on Section D5
By Bill HARROW
DESPITE recent fierce weather and flood watch status, the team from Frontier Assembly was back on the job quickly to continue work on Section D5 of the Beach to Beach Shared Path.
When complete, this
section will link the path from North Haven to Dunbogan Reserve.
Pylons have now been placed along the entire length of the boardwalk.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council project manager Jack Devonish said Section D5 remains on track for public
opening in late July and the project is currently on budget.
Works planned for this month include the installation of boardwalk bearers and joists, commencement of decking and handrail installation and constructing the concrete
paths that will connect with existing paths.
When the section is complete, pedestrians and cyclists will be able to travel between North Haven Breakwall and the Dunbogan Reserve without needing to be on the road.
To brighten up the path,
a grant from the Kendall Op Shop funded the installment of a second stunning photographic triptych taken by Alex McNaught at Pilot Beach.

Theatre win for Harry and Pearl
THE Harry and Pearl Ensemble took out the major award of Best Production in the One Act Play Festival at The Players Theatre over the June long weekend.
The winning play, “Edmund and June”, was written by locals Judy Campbell and Bill Harrow.
The pair have been rehearsing and polishing the production for the past six months.
“Bill and I poured our
hearts into writing this play and bringing it to life on stage,“ Judy told NOTA.
“We like nothing more than giving people a good laugh and maybe shedding a tiny tear.”
The play centered around ageing ventriloquist Edmund and delightful-but-naughty dummy June, who had the audience in stitches.
Festival coordinator
Barbara Sherrin told NOTA the quality of the
performances this year was outstanding.
“Edmund and June was such a unique concept, and it was clear a lot of thought went into this script and the actors’ preparation.
“The audience was enthralled from start to finish.”
Taking out the secondbest production award was “Family Matters”, another original script from accomplished playwright
Janet also took out the Best Female Actor award in a very heartfelt production.
The festival’s adjudicator was the extremely well credentialed Jo Bloom, who has worked as an actress, director, producer, educator and playwright in Sydney, Melbourne and London.
She has performed principal roles in over 20 productions and has a wealth of theatrical knowledge.
Heart of the Haven: Lifesaver Leah
By Chan ANSELL
joined the Nippers program as a young child.
Week by week she learned the basics of surf awareness, safety and teamwork, building both confidence and a love for the ocean.
Over the years, she progressed through the Nippers age groups and eventually became eligible to complete her Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC).
In the 2023/24 lifesaving season, Leah proudly earned her SRC, officially starting her journey as a volunteer surf lifesaver.
“Getting my SRC was such a rewarding moment,” she said.
“I felt like all my years in
Nippers had led to that point.
“It was amazing to finally put the red and yellow uniform on and give back to the club that taught me so much.”
Leah’s dedication didn’t go unnoticed.
She was nominated for the Junior Lifesaver of the Year (JLOTY) award for the Mid North Coast Branch, competing alongside seven other inspiring young women.
“I was honoured to be nominated for Junior Lifesaver of the Year,” she said.
“It was such a great experience.
“I learned a lot and made new friendships too.”
Leah’s involvement doesn’t stop at patrols.
She volunteers regularly for water safety during Nippers sessions and board training, helping younger members develop their surf skills and confidence.
She says giving back to the Nippers program is one of her favourite parts of being involved in the club.
Outside of surf lifesaving, Leah is active in the community, refereeing MiniRoos matches for the Camden Haven Redbacks and attending North Haven Physical Culture Club.
Balancing multiple commitments isn’t always easy, but Leah says she wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I like being involved in
lots of different things,” she said.
“It keeps me busy and helps me grow in different ways whether it’s leadership, fitness, or confidence.”
Looking ahead, Leah hopes to continue progressing in lifesaving and become a role model for other young people just starting out.
“I hope to inspire more young kids to join Nippers,” Leah said.
“If they stick with it, they might one day become lifesavers too and maybe even be recognised like I was.”
From the sand to the soccer field and the physie floor, Leah is showing what’s possible with passion, commitment, and community spirit.

Tank Stream planting bonanza
MORE than 35 volunteers pitched in for a planting day at the historically significant “Tank Stream” at Bartlett Reserve, Bonny Hills on 25 May.
Around 300 shrubs and ground covers were planted as part of Stage One of the revegetation project, organised by Bonny Hills Landcare, Hastings Landcare and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (PMHC).
Tank Stream holds a special place in the Bonny Hills story.
Replenished by a natural spring, the stream once served as a crucial water source for local Indigenous groups and early European settlers, including explorer John Oxley.
A reservoir was later constructed downstream at the cliff-face to supply fresh water.
The area is also linked to the official opening of Bonny Hills’ original post office and telephone exchange on 1
November 1948, just across from the stream’s source.
“This is about more than just planting natives,” said a Bonny Hills Landcare spokesperson.
“It’s about reviving an important part of our natural and cultural heritage while also creating a vital wildlife corridor.”
Ahead of the planting, Bonny Hills Landcare Group and PMHC prepared the site by controlling overgrown exotic grasses and weeds.
“PMHC have been a great help with site preparation and purchasing the plants,” Bonny Hills Landcare’s Ross Smith said.
The native groundcovers, shrubs and grasses planted were selected for their ability to attract insects, birds, reptiles and other wildlife, as well as prevent erosion.
“We planted a diversity of native plants including dianella, conjevoi, lomandra, callistemon and native ginger,” Hastings Landcare’s Robyn Camozzato said.
All the plants were grown from locally sourced seed at the Port Macquarie Landcare Nursery which is open to the public every Monday morning.
“It is great that Council can support such
worthwhile events that bring the community together to enhance the local environment as well as cultural and historical sites,” said PMHC representative
The Bonny Hills Landcare Group plans to maintain the
planting area as a part of their regular working bees. When the planting is established, the group will extend the weed control and planting of natives right up to the road.

Rumble strips to be installed on Highway
IMPROVING safety is the focus of work starting this month to install Audio Tactile Line Marking (ATLM) on sections of the Pacific Highway north from Karuah.
From Tuesday 10 June, crews will start work on two sections of the highway.
Section one covers 143 kilometres from Karuah to
Frederickton, where 251 kilometres of ATLM will be installed along the dual carriageway.
Section two is from Collombatti to Maclean, where 294 kilometres of ATLM will be installed over 114 kilometres of the highway.
Transport for NSW Regional Director North
Anna Zycki said ATLM, also known as rumble strips, helps to alert drivers if their vehicle starts to veer out of their lane, dramatically cutting the risk of head-on and run-off-road crashes.
“Audio tactile linemarking is a proven safety treatment that can reduce the number of crashes by 15 to 25 percent, saving
lives and preventing injuries on our roads,” Ms Zycki said.
“When ATLM is installed, if a vehicle leaves its lane for any reason such as fatigue, distraction or inattention, the rumble strips vibrate and make a noise that immediately alerts the driver to correct their path and avoid a
serious accident.
“This means they are particularly effective at night or in bad weather.
“The rumble strips are installed down the centre and on the road edges of the highway in speed zones of 80 km/h and above, except for townships and sections of road within 200 metres of homes.”
Crews will be working on three different sections of the highway from 6am to 6pm Monday to Saturdays.
Some work may be carried out at night between 8pm and 4am. The work is expected to be completed in November this year.
Lane closures and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h will be in place during the work.

TIME PASSES QUICKLY - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR FAMILY PRACTICE
Try to remembering back a decade – before Covid – when a local GP decided he wanted to open a new service for a family focused service based around General Practice Medicine. Over the initial planning for the service, it was discovered that he needed help with the Management of the Practice – so together these two families realised their dream and set out to establish this service.
After much planning, extensive building work with the cooperation of local tradesman, recruiting of staff and hopefully doctors, Your Family Practice was opened in June 2015 at 97 Bold Street Laurieton. With 5 consulting rooms, two nurse rooms and a pathology service we thought the site would last at least 5 years. We fortunately commenced with another local GP, and within 3 months another 2 GPs joined YFP.
It was always the intention of these two families to have a different medical service – one that was explained by it’s name –being YOUR FAMILY PRACTICE, meaning it was the patient’s and community’s new medical centre. We were fortunate to have a very high standard of supporting clinical and administrative staff, as we expanded much quicker than we imagined. So quickly, that within 3 years, the now 3 families (the 2nd GP now became an owner of the practice too), decided to commit to providing the infrastructure for a new expanded medical centre at Lakewood, this centre was and is meant to provide the buildings for health services to future generations to come.
If we were to review the accomplishments of Your Family Practice, from a Department of Health perspective we would look at the numbers. YFP has achieved over 400,000 consultations, during covid we immunised over 15,000 patients, we have assisted in the training of some 20+ GPs to become Fellowed GPs working in Port Macquarie, Sydney, Western Sydney, North Coast NSW, and GPs who have gone on to open their own successful medical centres in Rural NSW – and return to overseas to practice in their originating countries. We have patients aged from new born, including 2 sets of twins this year, to 5 patients who are 102 – one of which continues to live independently in her own home!
YFP have cared for many patients through all stages of life, including childhood, adolescence, family planning, independent seniors, transferring to facility care living and also through palliative care stages of their lives. However, the Management of YFP prefer to consider our achievements that we have successfully trained future generations of general practitioners for Australia, employed 7 nurses in the 10 years, provided stable employment for over 20 families in our community and in the past couple of years, assisted in the relocation of overseas trained GPs (IMGs) to come to Lakewood, living happily in the Region continuing their medical training by utilising their skills in our Practice. All IMGs are progressing in their training to Fellowship of General Practice, are individually exceptional individuals and we have definitely attracted the “cream of the crop” with their expertise and approach to patients. We have another two IMGs GPs arriving any week now –they are packed and ready to travel and want to be here now, just awaiting the processing of their visa. Oh and did we mentioned that we have also had 3 babies born to our work family – 2 little girls and 1 big beautiful boy.
We also consider the trust that has been given to our practice by the community to be the greatest achievement of all. We have patients that are 4 generations of the same family, and we have been “honoured” to help families of the nearly 850 patients that have progressed in their final stages of their lives. We consider this palliative health support service to be rewarding.
We also have assisted returned servicemen and women, the chronically ill with many differing health conditions, mentally challenged patients and patients with mental health issues and domestic violence issues to return to health and/or to have the best quality of life possible. Empathy needs to be part of our treatment plans, together with respect and acceptance of patient’s personal decisions on their treatment plans.
Although the Ownership of the Company has changed over years through death and career choice decisions, and we have had staff that have finalised their university degrees in other fields and now work in those areas, staff who have moved location to be closer to family members and a staff member who has retired. Although we mourn the losses of these loved YFP family Members we also celebrate their achievements, commitment to their career choices and are envious sometimes, for their retirement choices. The one common feeling though, it of gratitude for their contribution to making YFP what it is today – sincerely thank you.
So where do we want to want Your Family Practice to be in the next 10 years. Simply, as we continue to have the same focus as we did when we started the practice. We want to continue to focus on “Happy Street” to continue to provide a family focused services based around General Practice Medicine. By continuing our focus on this simple sentence has provided the strong foundation of the practice to date, and we believe, will provide the infrastructure for the community to have excellent medical facilities for generations of family to come.
We also want to acknowledge and celebrate our long stable staff and contractors. 10 year employees include Amanda (Lead RN); Tracey (Receptionist and the Practice “Fairy Godmother”), Deidre (the remaining original owner), and Dr Murt Ahmed (owner and 2nd GP of our practice), quickly joining this group is Dr Camellia Chooi. We have also staff achieving their 5 and 6 year anniversaries at this time too – Melissa, Hayley, Wendy, Fu and Therese.
Finally, we want to acknowledge the support of the community of Your Family Practice. Thank you for continuing to use our services and appreciate our health care and services. We cannot also understate the commitment of all our dedicated staff and Contractors - YFP continues to grow to meet the needs of our community only because of these individuals; so thank you too.
Yours sincerely, YFP Directors
First-ever DNA mapping of NSW river mouths and estuaries
By Andrea FERRARI
A MAJOR study of NSW estuaries using a novel technique called eDNA, has created the first biodiversity map of river mouths and coastal tributaries along a 1000 kilometre stretch of coastline.
The study, led by Southern Cross University (SCU), was funded through the Riparian Stabilisation Package of the NSW Estuary Asset Protection Program (NEAP).
q Dr Maarten De Brauwer of SCU and Fisheries Technician
Kait Harris conduct estuarine monitoring in Yamba.
“The data revealed the location of 68 invasive pest species in various rivers, including aquatic weeds, algae and even cane toads further south than previously thought.”
Dr De Brauwer said the project provided much-needed baseline data for managing critical ecosystems.
“This data can show what is actually happening to our biodiversity in
Lead investigator Dr Maarten De Brauwer, who is based at SCU’s National Marine Science Centre in Coffs Harbour, said the data paints a fascinating picture of the species living in and around NSW coastal tributaries, including birds, worms, plants, fish, sharks and invasive pests.

estuaries following disasters like floods and bushfires.
“It can inform management agencies, biosecurity responses and help the ranger network manage these complex and dynamic systems after major disasters to support species recovery.”
This baseline is already being put to the test.
Dr De Brauwer’s team recently returned to sample sites following Tropical Cyclone Alfred and the extreme rain events of March.
This will be a valuable addition to the current mapping, which includes more than 7000 species.
The data is represented in an interactive map on
the website of the lab that completed the DNA analysis, Wilderlab.
Some of the sample sites produced surprising results.
“We found water buffalo DNA in the Richmond River, very far from where you would expect to find it.
“When we went to look for the source, we found a horse trainer along the river was using four water buffaloes named Bob, Ben, Bill and Bruce to train horses, which explained it.”
Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) Fisheries Technician Kait Harris, said estuaries - the middle ground between the ocean and rivers - do not have recent statewide
biodiversity baselines.
“This data is very valuable to understand how we manage them, particularly in challenging circumstances like natural disasters.
“When we are sampling, people are really interested in what we are doing.
“Everyone in the community uses estuaries for recreational fishing, swimming, or even work.
“It’s a very visible ecosystem that can be heavily impacted by natural disasters.”
Indigenous ranger groups have been important partners in the project, helping to collect samples and contributing local knowledge about sample sites.

Taking a Legal Look
By Manny WOOD
Small estate, big costs
ANNE is superstitious about making a will.
She resides in a nursing home and has a modest bank account.
She considers that her assets are not of sufficient value to warrant the making of a will.
When Anne passes-away, a bond is refundable from the nursing home and with her bank account, her assets total $100,000.
Anne left no spouse or children and her parents had passedaway many years ago. In these circumstances where there is no will, Anne’s assets are dealt with “on intestacy” and pass to her five siblings.
Unfortunately, one of her brothers had also passed, and his four children are entitled to his share.
However, the nursing home will not release the bond until they receive a grant of probate, which in this case is referred to as Letters of Administration.
The grant states the identity of the legal representative of the estate and this is how the nursing home can be sure that it is paying the bond to the appropriate person.
One of Anne’s sisters, Penny, retains a solicitor to assist her in obtaining a grant but they are unable to locate her deceased brother’s birth certificate from overseas and there is no other evidence that he is in fact related to Anne.
Accordingly, there is insufficient evidence to proceed with the application to obtain a grant and the matter is listed before a Supreme Court Judge, seeking orders that in the circumstances, the deceased brother’s entitlement should be “passed over”.
After affidavits are filed, Penny’s barrister presents the facts to the Judge, who hands down a 10-page decision two weeks later.
The Judge accepts “reputational” evidence regarding the deceased brother’s children’s entitlement and grants Letters of Administration to Penny, on the basis that her siblings receive 20% of the estate and the deceased brother’s children each receive five percent, equating to just a few thousand dollars each.
If Anne had made a will, significant delays and substantial legal costs could have been avoided.
This fictional column is not legal advice.
Beyond the bite: How our fishing community rises above the floods
By Kate SHELTON
AS we transition into winter, we've been blessed with a couple of lovely, calm and sunny days.
However, the recent floods unfortunately the mackerel season has drawn to a close.
While the fishing report highlights the bounty the region offers its impossible to ignore the impact of the recent floods and the incredible resilience of our community in their wake.
The past weeks have been challenging for many with floodwaters impacting homes, businesses and livelihoods across our region.
Yet amidst the rising waters and the subsequent clean-up, the spirit of our community has shone brighter than ever.
The fishing community too has played its part, with many anglers redirecting their efforts to assist in the recovery, demonstrating that our passion for the outdoors extends to a deep care for our shared environment and community.
As we cast our lines we do so with a renewed appreciation for the beauty and resilience of our region and the incredible strength of the people who call it home.
Anglers casting lines in the Camden Haven River are enjoying a diverse catch with flathead leading the pack. Keep an eye out for schooling mulloway near the breakwalls.
The sheltered corner beaches are packed with bream and tailor, readily taking beach worms.
Rock fishers are finding success with tailor and mulloway, while drummer are becoming more prevalent further south towards Crowdy Head.
Offshore last week, reports indicate excellent hauls of snapper, pearl perch, and kingfish around the Crowdy Head and Lake Cathie reefs.
For those keen on deep dropping, rewards have been plentiful with bar cod, hapuka, and blue eye trevalla.
The Hastings River continues to live up to its reputation as an angler's paradise this week.

DEAR Jasminda,
I am going away with a group of school friends and we are sharing rooms.
To save money, we booked a room with two queen beds, but one of our group members has become an incessant snorer. I'm a light sleeper. How do I tactfully ask that she is not my bed companion for the weekend?
Debra F.
Dear Debra,
When a partner snores, it is totally acceptable to poke them and tell them to be quiet, or stomp down the hall to the spare bed, or wake them in the morning to the soaring vocals of Donna Summer singing State of Independence because you've had no sleep and you're feeling vengeful.
However, those tactics are not ideal when you're catching up with old friends.
A snorer is like a dripping tap or a ticking clock.
the local wharf and rock walls, and flathead remain abundant throughout the system, alongside healthy populations of tailor and trevally.
Beach fishing proved fruitful last week, yielding quality tailor and bream for those using pipis and mullet strips.
The drummer season is in full swing, with consistent catches reported from Big Hill in the north all the way to Lighthouse in the south. Bream and luderick are also providing excellent sport off the rocks, with Plomer Point being a standout location. Offshore, there have been some fantastic snapper caught on plastics, and kingfish are being found further out.
Local fishing yielded strong results across the Macleay region this week, with decent bream catches reported from breakwalls and headlands using mullet strips and soft plastics.
Flathead were also a popular target, both within the river and around Horseshoe Bay beach.
Offshore adventurers weren't disappointed with early morning sessions near Grassy Head produced impressive snapper hauls, with fish ranging from four to eight kilograms.
The occasional pearl perch added to the already rewarding catch. Reefs further offshore also contributed to a successful long weekend for anglers, with reports of tusk fish, snapper, and pigfish.

Once the snoring starts, a light sleeper will be on the alert, wide-eyed in anticipation of the next snorting eruption.
It's a form of torture.
The longer it goes on, the more desperate the situation becomes as the hours before morning pass as slowly as baggage check-in when you're about to miss your flight.
For the next trip you have to come fully prepared with your goodnight's sleep arsenal: noise cancelling headphones or earplugs, an eye mask, some chamomile tea bags and/or something stronger (I don't like to judge, Debra).
You could also customise your response to the sleeping arrangements that come up on the first night.
If the snorer is near the window, request the bed near the bathroom.
If the snorer likes lots of bedding, say you are a night-sweater.
If the snorer likes their own space, confess that you have been known to spoon your bed partner in your sleep, and you'd hate to be accidentally invasive during your dream about Timothee Chalamet and/or Brad Pitt and/or Ryan Gosling and/or Margot Robbie.
Then again, if you are school friends, you probably know so much about each other that you don't really need to be tactful. That's what's great about long-term friendships.
Just say, 'Cindy, I adore you, but you snore like a freight train that's collided with a donkey. Do you mind if you share your bed with Giselle? She's out like a light every night due to her propensity for expensive red wine and hash gummies.'
That should make things clear for everyone.
Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Netballers playing for Dolly
By Rikki WALLER
ALL six Hastings Valley netball clubs are about to go blue to raise much-needed funds for “Dolly’s Dream”.
Initiated by Hastings Valley Netball Association (HVNA), the teams, club members and supporters, are encouraged to wear a little extra blue in their hair, on their face, and on their feet, to help raise awareness of bullying and the need to spread kindness.
The association’s “Do It For Dolly Day” will include all club games on Saturday 14 June as well as the five to seven-year-old participants of a 10-week program, running on Fridays.
“It’s such an important topic that we need to address, and as a sport that engages young girls and adults, it's imperative
that we play our part in supporting positive behaviours on and off the court,” HVNA President Linda Dewbery told News Of The Area.
“If we start the discussions young with our five-year-olds, they grow up and… talk openly about the effects bullying has on people.
“It will support positive parent, teacher, and community conversations.”
Although the official “Do It For Dolly Day” was on 9 May, Linda and all six clubs believe that it is a cause worth supporting all yearround.
“Engaging teens and adolescents in our community in sporting activities that build healthy bodies, healthy minds, resilience, teamwork, and healthy relationships [is]
our way of supporting them through [the] emotional roller-coaster of their teenage years,” Linda said.
“With the majority of our netball members in the eight to 16 years age bracket, bullying and antisocial behaviour is definitely something that our club and executive committees keep an eye on.
“Coaches juggle so many personalities in their teams. We need to play our part in supporting them as well as all of our players.”
Dolly’s Dream was founded in 2018 by Kate and Tick Everett following the shattering loss of their 14-year-old daughter, Dolly, who experienced sustained bullying and cyberbullying.
Kate and Tick’s goal is to prevent other families from having to walk the same road that they have,
by addressing the impact of bullying, anxiety, depression and youth suicide, through education and direct support to young people and families.
Dolly’s Dream offers
free support, resources, education, and school workshops to help individuals and families.
Details can be found at dollysdream.org.au.
Gold coin donations can
be made at the courts on game day, or via the Association’s fundraising page dollysdream.org.au/fundraisers/hastingsvalleynetballassociation.
Stingrays host successful Charity Day
By Kim AMBROSE
THE Laurieton Hotel Stingrays' annual Charity Day on Saturday, 7 June was a resounding success, bringing the community together to support the Begnell family and Ronald McDonald House Newcastle.
The event held at Stingray Stadium featured a thrilling
IRB CREW &
the
double-header of league action, showcasing the Kendall Blues against the Long Flat Dragons, followed by the Stingrays facing off against Beechwood.
In the first game of the day, the Kendall Blues dominated play, running away with the game and defeating the Dragons 42-10.
Kaine Cafe, Luke Martin
and Sam Ylias all bagged try doubles for the Blues, while Hudson McCarron and Adam Howe both went across the line for a single.
Adding to their winning margin was the boot of Jack Chapman, who kicked five successful conversions.
Jack Potter and Jack Sheaves scored tries for the Dragons, with Nathan Graham
adding two points from the boot.
The spotlight then shifted to the much-anticipated clash between the Laurieton Hotel Stingrays and Beechwood Shamrocks.
After a challenging first half the Stingrays went into the sheds trailing the Shamrocks 6-20.
The local side hit their stride in the second half however.
With only 11 players on the field they dug deep to pull off a giant comeback and tie the game 30-30 as the final buzzer sounded.
Lachlan Pensini bagged a double for the Stingrays, while Brandon Pateman, Cuban Quinlan-Piper and Chris Piper all snagged one try each.
Quinlan-Piper also slotted five successful conversions to lock in the draw.
Stingrays Club President Jarryd 'Kiwi' Gaskin thanked
the community for throwing support behind the charity day.
“It was the overwhelming support from the community and our major sponsor, the Laurieton Hotel, that made this day a special one for big Luke and his family and we can’t thank them enough.”
Kiwi also highlighted the tireless efforts of committee members and volunteers to ensure the day's success.
“Saturday was one of our biggest days of footy action,” he said.
“We had committee members and volunteers at the field from 6:30am.
“Then at 7.30pm they were back at the Laurieton Hotel to cover the action.”
Brothers set Khanacross course alight
q James Hurst receiving his trophy and prize for 1st place.
BROTHERS James and Matthew Hurst from Kew turned in an impressive result at the dirt khanacross held by the Kempsey Sporting Car Club at Eungai Creek last weekend.
In wet and muddy conditions James (14) had a faultless drive in his brother's Subaru Impreza to finish 1st Junior and 6th overall, while Matthew (13) came in 3rd Junior and 8th overall in a field of 28 drivers.
In the thick mud drivers needed to have good throttle control to position their cars as close to the course markers as possible without knocking them over.
Khanacross is a fast-paced event where drivers compete against the clock to navigate their car through a tight course between markers, with time penalties for going the wrong way, hitting a marker or finishing outside the marked garage. Events on the Mid North Coast are run by sporting car clubs based in the Hastings, and at Nabaic, Kempsey and Raleigh near Coffs Harbour.
Junior drivers can compete in a khanacross from 12 years of age, and car clubs generally offer free use of a club car and an experienced instructor for junior members who want to give it a try.

SATURDAY TRAVELS WITH AGATHA CHRISTIE AND SIR DAVID SUCHET
SBS, 7.30pm
Long before she invented the “whodunnit” and revolutionised the murder mystery genre, Agatha Christie embarked on an epic world tour in 1922. The Miss Marple and Poirot scribe journeyed across the British Empire to see southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, even making a cheeky stop in Hawaii. Having spent more than two decades playing her Belgian detective Poirot on-screen, Sir David Suchet (pictured above) follows in her footsteps.

Rebecca Gibney (pictured right), Shaun Micallef, Osher Günsberg and Susie O’Neill are among the 12 famous faces undertaking reality TV’s ultimate test. It’s taken weeks of intense training, litres of spray tan and metres of sequinned fabric, but they’re finally ready to show off their fancy footwork and strut their stuff for judges Craig Revel Horwood, Helen Richey, Sharna Burgess and Mark Wilson.

Having stepped in to lead after the presumed death of town matriarch Frankie (Kerry Fox) at the end of season one, Stella has been living a somewhat charmed life for the past year. However, her newfound freedom is shortlived: Frankie’s drug debt hasn’t been paid off, and as her successor, it’s now Stella’s problem to solve.
