THE Boambee East Community Centre is inviting the community to come together and warm their hearts at the Winter Solstice Family Festival.
The Festival will be held on Saturday, 21 June from 1-8pm.
Now a cherished annual tradition, the Winter Solstice Family Festival promises to be a joyful and magical celebration for all ages.
The event marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, bringing light, laughter and a touch of old-world charm to the heart of the community.
“Expect classic games like sack races, beanbag tosses, and egg-and-spoon relays - fun for kids and grown-ups alike,” a spokesperson for the Community Centre told NOTA.
“Children will be thrilled by the jumping castles, face painting, and a reptile display, while music lovers can soak up performances by live musicians, a pipe band, drummers, and
dancers throughout the day.
“The festival also features a silent disco, sensory space, community stalls, food stalls, and appearances from emergency services, making it a safe and inclusive celebration for everyone.
“As twilight falls, the energy will rise with fire twirlers, a magical lantern parade, and a spectacular bonfire to light up the night and warm the soul.”
The Festival is designed to be a “no cost–low cost” event, ensuring that everyone in the community can take part in the festivities, regardless of budget.
“We want this to be a day where the whole community can come together, celebrate, and reconnect.
“It’s about joy, community spirit, and creating beautiful memories together.”

OPINION & LETTERS
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.

By Manny WOOD 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?

Proposal opens the gate
DEAR News Of The Area,
THE ethical virtue of the words accompanying the deliberately long winded 'Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore revitalisation planning proposal public exhibition' have caused me to recoil in disgust, because they only partly tell the whole truth about this proposal.
Statements from this document are only partly right, lack virtue, honesty and nobility and should be found to be incomplete and therefore improper by thoughtful readers.
The planning proposal seeks to amend “land uses”, “building heights” and “design processes” (no problem)... and says it does “not provide approval for development to commence” (incomplete and so inaccurate).
True, it does not provide approval to commence development, but it does allow developers to legally seek approvals for
developments which they cannot make right now.
The hypothetical gate will be unashamedly left wide open by the proponents of this proposal and they don’t consider that they need to warn us.
These are the developments that the majority (70-plus percent) of Coffs Harbour ratepayers voted against in a recent election.
So much for our democratically elected state and local governments taking a truly consultative approach.
Surely the same amount of taxpayers money should have been spent on developing a proposal that would explain and develop the no development case.
Regards to my fellow readers, Colin MCENTYRE, Coffs Harbour.
Unfair decision on radiotherapy unit
DEAR News Of The Area,
HERE we go again.
At the Coffs Harbour Mid North Coast Cancer Institute, the superficial ortho voltage radiotherapy unit used to treat complex skin cancers, mainly in the elderly, has reached the end of its life and is not going to be replaced.
However, the same situation has arisen in Port Macquarie and the decision has been made to replace it!
When these machines were first installed 17 or so years ago the original plan of the NSW Department of Health was to install one in Port Macquarie but not in Coffs Harbour.
Eventually this decision was changed and Coffs was included but only after adverse publicity.
Why has Mid North Coast Local Health made this decision?
It's interesting that over the last two years Shearwater Lodge and the Coffs Harbour Rotary Club have donated $250,000 to enable the MNCCI to introduce updated SABR treatment for prostate, kidney and other abdominal cancers which will greatly benefit patients being treated in both Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie.
This treatment would not otherwise have been available before the end of the decade due to funding limitations.
Incidentally, Port Macquarie did not contribute any funds to the two SABR projects.
Regards, Dr Paul MORAN (retired), Coffs Harbour.

PHIL, a motorcyclist from Coffs, found my wallet last Saturday with my licence, a dozen other cards and $300 cash in it on Pine Creek Way, Bonville.
He returned it to my neighbour at Waterside Gardens.
He is obviously a man of integrity and

On thanking him he wouldn’t accept any reward, he just hoped he would receive the same consideration.
Phil, your actions were much appreciated.

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.
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.
Amenity issues from seawall upgrade
DEAR News Of The Area,
PROPERTY and Development NSW has just released technical reports supporting the rezoning of land currently zoned RE1 Public Recreation and SP2 Infrastructure to allow for the construction of multi-storey development on Government-owned land at the Coffs Harbour Foreshores.
One of the reports is a Coastal Risk Management Assessment by consultants Hasconing Aus.
Their modelling of future shoreline movement assumes there is a "Certified Engineered Seawall" along 130m of South Park Beach (also known as North Wall, Dog Beach) to prevent recession of the coastline and provide protection to land behind that is integral to the overall planning proposal.
It also recommends that consideration be given to extending the wall by a further 140m to provide more protection in the long term.
The additional length is not mandated.
Depending on the degree of exposure,
a typical open coast seawall, capable of withstanding long-term recession and sea level rise, would need to be constructed to a height of approximately 6-8m above mean sea level, with an appropriate core and large armour (approximately 1.3 m diameter).
It would typically extend 15m horizontally from the crest of the dune across the beach and to a depth of approx 2m below mean sea level.
The Hasconing report implies that a suitable Engineered Seawall actually exists (the crest is only 4m high in places) and that the existing rock wall could be adequately maintained/adapted to comply with design standards and accommodate a rising sea level scenario.
Any such adaptation could potentially require a major reconstruction and/or raising of the existing wall.
This may require Development Approval which can’t be guaranteed.
Furthermore, it is assumed that the retention of a seawall (or a further 140m
Who gets a say?
DEAR News Of The Area,
USING a link published in our News Of The Area newspaper I was taken straight to a page allowing me to make a submission on the Jetty Foreshore, which I duly did (although I had believed I had already given my opinion via the Council election poll question).
My concern is that at no point was I asked what my interest is in this matter – am I a resident, a ratepayer, a NSW Coffs Harbour electorate voter?
The submission process asks for a suburb/town or postcode but I wonder if that is even taken into account when responses are
compiled?
Could I be anyone living anywhere in the world, weighing in on this matter?
If the suburb/town or postcode is given in the submission as Coffs Harbour, are any steps undertaken to confirm that submission came from someone actually living here or owning property here, in the case of absentee landlords?
Are responses from outside of the wider Coffs area disregarded? It just feels like the process is wide open to manipulation.
Regards, Paula F STRONG, Coffs Harbour.
extension) is an acceptable long term management strategy for this beach, which may not be the case.
The construction of sea walls is known to accelerate beach erosion resulting in a partial or possibly complete loss of beach, particularly if sea level rises.
The cost of adapting the existing section of wall to comply with certification standards under a rising sea level scenario is unknown.
A conservative estimate to construct an additional 140m of Engineered Seawall (based unit rates from a 2021 NSW Gov report for Wamberal) is in excess of $2.7 million.
The ongoing maintenance cost of 270m of seawall would be approx. $50,000/yr.
The adoption of a seawall as a coastal zone management option is completely out of step with contemporary Coastal Zone Management Principles and is only used as an absolute last resort to protect valuable assets that have been inappropriately located too close to the shoreline and are
under threat from loss or damage.
Such an option should never be considered to support the rezoning of land that is largely undeveloped.
After the recent storms, North Wall Beach is inaccessible at high tide.
Under a rising sea level scenario, the situation will get gradually worse until there is no access at all.
It is likely there will be no beach along the entire length, at any tide level, and the waves will be breaking against the sea wall. It is time to speak out now against this poorly considered rezoning and seawall upgrade proposal. There are other important and viable coastal management options that need to be considered to ensure our prized beaches remain in a usable and 'natural' state before we lock in the longterm loss of North Wall/Dog Beach.
Regards, Bruce FIDGE, Retired coastal engineer, Coffs Harbour.

What parking problem?
DEAR News Of The Area,
I WANT to start with a controversial statement that will become less controversial as you read on: Coffs Harbour does not have a parking problem. Coffs Harbour has an access problem.
This problem has its roots in the 1970s and 80s when tight jeans were fashionable and urban planners in Coffs Harbour decided that people would have to drive cars to get
anywhere in this increasingly sprawling town.
The result was a car-centric transport system that deprived people of the option of cycling or even walking. This in turn led to a destination mentality in which planners designed destinations without any regard for connecting them.
All they concerned themselves with was providing enough parking for the cars that people were forced to use to get from home to destination.
So now, cars dominate the roads in Coffs, parking is at a premium, and alternatives to driving involve waiting for infrequent public transport, walking on the road, or risking your life on a bike.
If you do choose to ride a bike anywhere other than the Jetty, people think you’re either weird, poor, or had your licence cancelled for DUI.
Compare this with many European towns where protected bike lanes connect residential areas with urban centres, where bicycles, buses, and trams take the traffic burden off the road system. In those places,
parking is abundant because there are so many alternatives to driving.
If planning decisions in Coffs Harbour were based on creating connections between destinations with multiple transport options, rather than just building fancy destinations with half the space used up for car parking, then a lot of the town’s parking, congestion, health, road maintenance, and mobility problems would simply vanish.
Regards, Marcus BAYNES-ROCK, Coffs Harbour.
DEAR News Of The Area,
AS a young child I remember the windblown weedy rubbish-strewn wastelands that covered the public Garlambirla sacred lands at the Jetty Foreshore.
Over the last 43 or more years I have watched the remarkable transformation of this place by Jetty Dunecare to one of incredible life, beauty, wonder, health and vitality.
I have seen (and been in small part involved in) the incredible acts of reconciliation enacted between Jetty Dunecare and the Gumbaynggirr community here in important and nation-leading acts of repair to Country.
This has involved the development of strong respectful relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal folk underpinned by a love of and respect for
sacred country.
With all my being thanks to volunteer leader, Desnee McCosker, for her decades of voluntary hard work and the loving, respectful acts of legitimate reconciliation that have happened at our beloved Jetty Foreshore because of all this.
The wishes of the Garlambirla Guuyugirrwaa Elders must be abided by.
We must do what is right: No highrise (eight storey equivalent, 25m high) private residential suburb on Garlambirla sacred gathering and healing Country at the Jetty Foreshore.
Leave these public sacred lands for the people to gather and to heal.
Make it more beautiful, make it more alive, don't concrete it to death and take it away from the people for the profits of a greedy few.
Regards, Mark GRAHAM, Coffs Harbour.
DEAR News Of The Area,
TO Jeffrey Cox, in reply to your previous letter.
Like you, I am not completely happy with the Labor Party or any political party for that matter.
And I cannot comment on all the assertions that you made in your previous letter.
However, with regards to the cost of establishing nuclear energy plants, the CSIRO has found the cost of electricity generated from nuclear reactors by 2040 would be about $145-$238 per MWh, compared to $22-$53 for solar, and $45$78 for wind.
So that’s at least twice as much for nuclear, or up to 10 times as much when comparing with the lowest-cost solar.
Furthermore, when it is time to decommission a nuclear power plant the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) estimates that the cost can range from $500 million to $2 billion and can take 15 to 20 years.
It is a complex and costly process.
Perhaps in the near future or maybe not so near future, nuclear energy will become a viable source of energy but for now I would prefer not to have it in my backyard.
Regards, David EISLER, Coffs Harbour.

From the 3km Family Fun Run/Walk to the newly introduced Full Marathon, the event caters to everyone, from first-time joggers to seasoned marathoners.
“This year’s response has been incredible,” said Keelan Birch, Event Director of the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour.
“We’ve seen a huge increase in early registrations, and it’s clear that people are not only excited to run but also to support the causes behind the event.”
The heart of the festival lies in its mission to give back.
In 2024, the event raised over $62,000 for local children’s charities, and organisers are aiming to surpass that milestone this year.
All of every registration fee goes directly to supporting youth-focused initiatives in the Coffs region.
The Jetty Foreshores and Coffs Creek Walkway offer more than just a scenic route, providing a safe, accessible, and familyfriendly environment that showcases the natural beauty of the region.
Runners will pass through lush greenery, coastal views, and vibrant community spaces, making the experience as enjoyable as it is rewarding.

Coffs Backyard Ultra wraps up after 37 hours
THE 2025 Coffs Backyard Ultra has officially come to a close after an unforgettable weekend of endurance, community spirit, and recordbreaking performances at the Coffs Harbour Showground.
With over 375 runners taking part, the event lived up to its title as one of the largest Backyard Ultras in the world, drawing participants and spectators from across
Australia and beyond.
The unique format saw runners complete a 6.7km loop every hour, on the hour, until only one remained - the last one standing.
There was a $1000 cash prize for the last male and female left standing, generously sponsored by The Battery Boys.
After 37 grueling hours and 247km, Oliver Sheekey
from Sydney emerged as the last one standing, outlasting a fierce field of competitors.
Matthew Whatman pushed him all the way, completing 36 laps to earn the coveted “assist” title, a crucial role in Backyard Ultra tradition.
In the women’s field, local legends Clare Palmer and Annabelle Swainston battled it out deep into the event.
Clare defended her title as the last female standing with 25 laps, showing remarkable consistency and grit.
Annabelle, also from the Coffs region, was close behind, showcasing the strength of the local trail running community.
Keelan Birch, President of Coffs Trail Runners, said the event exceeded all expectations.
“We’re blown away by the turnout, the atmosphere, and the incredible determination shown by every runner,” he said.
“It’s not just a race, it’s a celebration of resilience and community.”
The Showground buzzed with energy throughout the weekend.
Volunteers and spectators stayed well into the nightand into late Sunday - to cheer on the final competitors, creating an unforgettable experience for all involved.
The event also saw dozens of personal bests, emotional finishes, and inspiring stories from firsttimers and seasoned ultra runners alike.
From families cheering on loved ones to strangers
forming midnight support crews, the spirit of the running community was on full display.
Organisers extended heartfelt thanks to all participants, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who made the event possible.

Croquet Club raise funds for Cancer Council
By Aiden BURGESS
SAWTELL Croquet Club recently raised $660 for the Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea.
The Biggest Morning Tea at Sawtell Croquet Club turned into the “Longest Morning Tea”, due to the inclement weather.
The club’s Biggest Morning Tea was held over five days, with events, activities, and a morning tea on each day, which gave all members of the club an opportunity to participate.
Club President Jamie Mair said the amount raised was a pleasing result for a club of their size.
Sawtell Croquest Club is the only club in the Coffs
Coast region to play all three codes of croquet.
The club also held their Ricochet Handicap Singles Club Championship last month.
Gary Urquhart was the Division 1 winner, and Wendy Forbes was the runner up.
Elaine Hulbert was the Division 2 winner, and Helen Chambers was the runner up.
The club also recently held its Association Friendly Day, in which they invited all clubs in the region to attend.
A sunny day greeted players and the courts were dry, as the locals performed well on the day winning all matches.
Sawtell Croquet Club will be holding a Croquet State of Origin challenge on Tuesday, 17 June, the day before the second State of Origin match.
q Trish, Beryl, Fay and Pauline enjoy morning tea.

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.

between genres as it charts the exploits of corporate-CEO-turnedfugitive Stella (Marta Dusseldorp, pictured above) while she uses her sharp business acumen to navigate life among criminals and cult leaders in her new community of Mystery Bay. 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.
