the Myanmar pro-democracy movement of the 1980s.
In 1988 Tin was lecturing at Rangoon University in Yangon (formerly Rangoon), when her life took a dramatic turn.
Finding herself at the forefront of a nationwide movement for democratic reforms, Tin was forced to flee and seek political refugee status in Australia in 1991.
Despite the challenges of starting anew, Tin embraced the opportunity to give back to the society that took her in.
“Coming to Australia saved my life,” said Tin.
“In appreciation I have given my knowledge and my services in as many ways as possible."
Since settling in Kendall in 2003, Tin has spearheaded initiatives such as the Kendall-Kadaw Friendship School, providing scholarships to underprivileged girls.
She has played a pivotal role in establishing the Kendall Community Global Food Garden, the Meeting Place Cafe and initiated the Mid North Coast Refugee Support Group.
Now in her seventies, Tin's energy and passion for serving others remains unwavering.
She volunteers at Kendall’s op-shop, the Country Women’s Association (CWA), her beloved community garden, as well as preparing meals for the homeless.
Tin’s endeavours have transformed lives locally but also positively impacted communities in her homeland.
Her efforts have been instrumental in the establishment of an orphanage and school in Myanmar, providing ongoing support to these organisations.
“Over 200 children previously living in poverty are now being educated in Myanmar, with five children from this village school
now studying medical sciences at Mandalay University,” Tin said.
“This is not my achievement.
“It belongs to my friends, my dear husband Ian (Oxenford) and the community of Kendall, including the CWA and op-shop.”
Tin’s latest project is a fundraising concert this Saturday at Kendall which aims to address the urgent needs of a small village in Central Myanmar.
“There are about 400 children who need to have safe, clean water and a school to attend,” said Tin.
“Gleny Rae, a globe-trotting musician and personal friend, is helping me to raise funds for this matter.
“This Saturday, supported by two local musicians Sue Lee and Helen Mottee, she will be performing at our annual charity event at the Kendall Community Hall at 7pm, with the proceeds from this event going directly towards this cause.”

LEO Kirkwood was named the Camden Haven High School (CHHS) Dux for 2024, earning an ATAR of 92.7.
This impressive result included a Band 6 in Modern History, Band 5s in English Advanced, Biology and Legal Studies, and a second in course for Mathematics Standard 2.
Leo attributed a combination of family support, guidance from teachers, effective study habits and relaxation time as key factors to the HSC success.

“One of my main strategies was to review the syllabus and under every dot point write down all the information I had from my notes, utilising flashcards and mind maps," said Leo.
“I would also prioritise time where I could enjoy my hobbies, such as cooking or just time to relax.”
Leo's recognition as CHHS Dux for 2024 has since opened up new opportunities.
“Initially I wanted to study Biomedical at Melbourne,” said Leo.
“However, since being named Dux of CHHS, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has reached out with an offer of financial support.
“So I am looking more closely at UNSW, as this money would definitely be very helpful.”
Michelle Kirkwood, Leo’s proud mum, shared that “the whole family were enormously proud of Leo and couldn’t wait to see what the future would hold”.
Several other CHHS students also received recognition for top HSC results.
Cleo Bell (Textiles and Design), Ava Globits (Dance), and Vincent Miller
(Mathematics Standard 2) were all acknowledged for their outstanding performances in specific subjects.
An additional 17 CHHS students achieved a Band 6, while 35 students received early entry positions across 11 universities.

decided she couldn’t wait to get the party started.
Arriving two weeks ahead of schedule, Remi was born at Port Macquarie Base Hospital (PMBH) at 12.05am on 1 January.
She is not only the first baby born in the Mid North Coast Local Health District in 2025 but the first reported birth in Australia this year, which also makes her the first of Generation Beta.
The first-time parents described Remi’s arrival as “momentous” and the attention she is receiving as “exciting”.
“We thought Remi might be the last baby of 2024 and it was a surprise to be the first of 2025,” Mr Walsh said.
“We just want to provide a happy life for Remi to grow up and live how she wants.”
The couple said they were grateful for the earlier than expected care they received from the team at PMBH, where they also attended prenatal classes.
“They were awesome and made our first birth experience less stressful.”
Obstetrics and Gynaecology Registrar Dr Sarah Keenan worked with
midwives to deliver Remi.
“I was so absorbed in the moment for Jinnie (Tzu-Ling) and Liam that I completely missed the clock ticking past midnight,” Dr Keenan said.
“I was so excited when our midwife called out the time of birth at 00.05.
“It was a surreal experience and an unforgettable way to celebrate the New Year that I will cherish for the rest of my career.
“The midwives in our team on the night were incredible and I want to thank them.”
Family members from Newcastle were quick to make the trip to PMBH for their first cuddles, while the couple will travel to see more family once Remi has a passport.
Hot on Remi’s tiny heels on New Year’s Day were Victoria’s Hannah Nguyen (12.16am), North Canberra’s Pippa Elliot (12.19am) and Sydney’s Shawn Biansi (12.32am).
As members of the world’s seventh concurrent generation, which will include anyone born between now and 2039, they could live well into the 22nd Century.
While the years of generational cohorts
varies according to social researchers, the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that Gen Beta follows Generation Alpha (20132024); Gen Z (1997-2012); Gen Y, also referred to as Millennials (1981-1996); Gen X (1965-1980); and Generation B, also referred to as Baby Boomers (19461964).
The seventh is the Silent Generation, also known as the Traditionalists (19251945).

POLICE say a motorcyclist killed in a crash at Long Flat was a man aged in his sixties.
Emergency services were called to the Oxley Highway, 47kms west of Port
Macquarie, about 12.30pm on Saturday, 28 December.
They were told the motorbike and a Toyota Landcruiser had collided in the west-bound lanes.
Witnesses assisted the injured rider until NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived, however he died at the scene.
The driver of the Landcruiser, a man also aged in
his 60s, was uninjured. He was taken to Port Macquarie Base Hospital for mandatory testing.
Officers from the Mid North Coast Police District forensically examined the scene.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is to contact local police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

COASTAL anglers are being asked to help find a solution to the spread of “mushy fish”.
Charles Sturt University (CSU) researcher and Lecturer in Ecology Dr Jessica Tout-Lyon, is leading a project based in Port Macquarie aimed at tracking the spread of the parasite behind the flesh-altering condition.
“Imagine tucking into a freshly caught Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi), which is highly prized for sashimi and sushi, only for it to crumble and have the texture of wet newspaper,”
Dr Tout-Lyon said just before the Christmas/New Year seafood rush.
“This issue has been close to my heart for more than fifteen years and last year was by far the worst year I’ve experienced, with [an] abundance of mushy fish caught along the Mid North Coast.”
The parasite is believed to be moving south from Queensland, with the spread linked to the effects of Climate Change.
It is almost impossible to detect until the cooking process causes the fish to virtually liquify.
Dr Tout-Lyon, who is with the School of Agricultural, Environment and Veterinary Sciences in Port Macquarie and the Gulbali Research Institute of Agriculture, Water and Environment, said it is not known if the microscopic parasite affects human health.
“The parasite releases an enzyme resulting in tissue disintegration leading to the familiar mushy flesh and rendering the fish unpalatable,” she said.
“This results in a lower market value for commercial fishers, wasted effort for recreational anglers, an unpalatable dinner for consumers, and a wasted product overall.”
Mahi mahi are also known to suffer from mushy flesh but unlike kingfish, this species can turn to jelly in the esky.
Many anglers throughout NSW waters have also reported other species of fish with similar issues.
Dr Tout-Lyon would
like fishers anywhere in Australia or New Zealand to report any affected catches through the research project’s website.
Digital readers can click the link to complete the survey, while print readers can use a mobile phone to scan the QR code in the adjacent photo to be directed to the project page.
No download or login is required.
“To improve our understanding of the spread of the mushy fish issue in Australia, we seek the help of anglers ─ line fishers, spearfishers, First Nations cultural fishers, commercial or recreational fishers ─ to log their mushy fish catches.”
The research team has already conducted preliminary investigations in waters along the Mid North Coast and in Sydney
Harbour, with anglers donating both fish tissue and water samples.
Results from this preliminary study are promising as they have validated the molecular tools being used to identify the parasite, and have also shown it can be present in fish that don’t turn mushy.
“This points to a more complex issue and interaction than we
originally thought, and I’ll be relying on the continued efforts of the passionate kingfish fishing community Australia-wide to help unravel the mushy fish mystery.”
If anglers would like to contribute fish tissue or water samples to the project, they can reach Dr Tout-Lyon by emailing jetout@csu.edu. au.

THE scenic Captain Cook
Bicentennial Drive leading to North Brother Lookout is currently closed to public traffic, as significant remediation works get underway.
The closure is a continued response to the damage caused by a major landslip during the 2020/21 flooding events, which previously forced the road to close and operate under changed traffic conditions.
NSW Public Works
Project Manager Joel Kelly said the road will remain closed from Monday, 6
January to Friday, 24 January.
To further reduce the impacts on traffic, NSW Public Works is working closely with the contractor on an accelerated program to complete the works as efficiently as possible.
Following the initial three-week closure, access will resume on a single-lane basis, controlled by traffic signals, for a period of two to three months until the works are complete.
"Some short term closures may be required towards the latter end of that period which will be communicated accordingly," Mr Kelly said.
He added that public notification of the closure was made through Variable Message Signs (VMS) along Captain Cook Bicentennial Drive, and updates will be available via Port Macquarie-Hastings Council's (PMHC) Live Traffic system throughout the construction period.
The timing of the closure has drawn criticism from local residents and holidaymakers alike.
The peak holiday season sees an influx of visitors to the Camden Haven area, with many disappointed by the disruption to one of the region's most popular attractions.

EMERGENCY departments
in the Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) are bucking statewide trends in the face of ongoing staffing and pay pressures and the shortage of GPs.
The Bureau of Health Information’s (BHI’s) last “Healthcare Quarterly” report for 2024 showed that elsewhere in NSW, ED patients
(on average) are waiting longer to be treated.
Between July and September, 787,590 people attended an ED and only 61 percent started their treatment within the recommended time frame.
Of this number, 195,703 arrived by ambulance - more than in any quarter since reporting began in 2010.
There were also record numbers of triage category
2 (emergency) and triage category 3 (urgent) patients.
Just 49.2 percent of the emergencies and 55.9 percent of the urgent cases were treated on time.
Despite also facing an increase in cases, the MNCLHD bettered these state averages.
Of the 36,259 attendances at its EDs between Port Macquarie-Hastings and Coffs Harbour, nearly two-thirds of patients across all five triage

categories began treatment on time,
“Our teams continue to go above and beyond to ensure our communities receive timely, high-quality care, even during periods of heightened demand,” MNCLHD Acting Chief Executive Jill Wong said.
The breakdown for Port Macquarie Base Hospital is as follows:
- 12,783 people attended the ED (up 3.7 percent or 462 attendances)
- 61.3 percent began treatment on time
- 86.6 percent were transferred from ambulance to ED staff within the 30-minute benchmark time (an improvement of 3.9 percent on the same quarter in 2023).
- 70.5 percent left the ED within four hours.
A second BHI report released in December shows the results of its annual Emergency Department Patient Survey.
Nine in ten patients
recorded their care between July 2023 and June 2024 as being “very good” (62 percent) or “good” (26 percent).
The survey also provides insights into why people attend an ED.
Over a two-month period, 38 percent of patients said it was because their GP or health professional service was closed while a further 23 percent said they couldn’t get an appointment within a reasonable time.
The NSW Nurses and Midwives Association (NSWNMA) said the unprecedented demand has put nurses at the forefront of a crisis.
“The latest quarterly BHI data confirms what our members know; that they are getting busier and busier,” General Secretary Shaye Candish said.
“They’re treating more seriously ill patients than ever before, with unparalleled numbers of emergency and urgent presentations this quarter.”
But Ms Candish says the data cannot be primarily attributed to the GP shortage.
“Semi-urgent and nonurgent cases have both fallen, while patients presenting with complex and acute conditions have risen.
“Members are dealing with extremely testing conditions, often working chronically understaffed while striving to provide quality clinical care to all patients.”
The NSWNMA is currently negotiating with the Minns Government for a 15 percent pay increase.
Meantime, the MNCLHD encourages the community to reserve EDs and ambulances for emergencies.
For non-urgent concerns, consult a GP, medical centre, or a virtual care service.
If an illness or injury is not serious or life-threatening, people are encouraged to call Healthdirect on 1800 022 222, for 24-hour telephone health advice.

SHARON Lees has been named the winner of the 2025 Bonny Hills Art Prize for her painting “Promised Land”.
The riverscape was chosen from the record number of entries on display at the Francis Retreat in Bonny Hills until Sunday, 12 January.
Now in its fourth year, the Art Prize is organised by the Bonny Hills Progress Association (BHPA).
“Our work started on Tuesday accepting paintings from the 165 artists who entered the exhibition and sale,” President Paul Poleweski told the News Of The Area.
“We then had to hang their 390 works in the hall that has been generously provided by the Francis Retreat, ready for the first open to view day on Wednesday.”
Winners were then judged and announced that night.

Local businesses have donated the $8100 in prizemoney, including $1500 for the winner.
There are categories for junior and youth artists as well as a People’s Choice award and even a Packer’s Prize.
The event’s popularity is behind the decision to extend the public exhibition to five days - one more than in 2024.
Equally popular are the free children and youth workshops running in conjunction with the Art Prize with the support of Port Macquarie Hastings Council.
“The youngest age groups create artworks by exploring different techniques and art forms through play-based
activities,” said Art Prize Committee Chair John Drinan.
“Experienced Artists in Residence tutor older children up to twelve years by sharing their experience and guiding [them] to explore a variety of techniques and art media.”
A new initiative in 2025 is an advanced workshop for teen artists aged thirteen to sixteen.
Some sessions are booked out but spots may be available in the Friday and Saturday afternoon workshops (10-11 January).

THE 2025 Laurieton United Services Fishing Club Bonanza proved to be a resounding success, drawing a massive turnout of over 300 anglers, both local and from further afield.
Blessed with ideal fishing conditions, the competition witnessed a flurry of activity and a vibrant atmosphere throughout.
The Sunday weigh-in was a spectacle, attracting a large and enthusiastic crowd.
Anglers proudly presented their catches, showcasing a diverse range of impressive species.
Among the standouts was a magnificent 97cm flathead reeled in and released by Bonny Hills resident Geoff Boese, a true trophy fish that will be difficult to surpass.
Adding to the excitement, Clint Hardy brought in a formidable kingfish weighing over 11kg, further highlighting the quality of the catches.
However, it was the junior anglers who truly stole the show.
With remarkable skill and determination, they out-fished many adults, demonstrating their ability and certainly making their parents proud.
The competition served as a testament to the vibrant fishing community and the enduring appeal of this beloved local event.
Looking ahead, the anticipation for the 2026 Bonanza is already building.
The organisers are undoubtedly eager to continue this tradition, ensuring another year of thrilling competition, camaraderie, and unforgettable fishing experiences for all involved.

THE Camden Haven Orchid Society will hold its annual Summer Orchid Show at the Laurieton United Services Club on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 January 2025.
The Show will be open on Saturday from 10.00am to 4.00pm and Sunday from 9.30am to 3.00pm.
“There will be a variety of orchids on display, especially the Stanhopea Orchid that attracts interest at this time of the year,” said
Show Coordinator John Matthews.
“The habitats for these range from Mexico to Brazil.
“The inflorescences are pendulous and grow straight down, therefore the plants are grown in wire baskets with fibre lining.”
Potting demonstrations will be held each day at 11.00am, and a sales table for orchids, bromeliads and foliage plants will be offered.
“Growing instructions will be available for the genus grown in the area,” John said. Show awards will be presented at 3.00pm on Sunday.

A NEW men’s group will launch at the Riverview Cafe in North Haven on Friday, 21 February.
The local meet-up is an extension of the existing “Blah Blah Blah Coffee for Blokes” men’s support network founded by peer worker John Crisp.
John faced significant challenges in his early life, leading to a path of drugs and alcohol which culminated in issues with the law and time spent in rehabilitation.
Now sober for more than 30 years, John set upon a journey to turn his life around and positively contribute to the lives of others.
In an effort to use his life experience for good, John earned a TAFE scholarship and eventually gained a Certificate 4 in Peer Work.
Looking for ways to expand his impact, John would often tell his wife of an idea to set up a men’s group.
Her response - “blah, blah, blah” - gave the group
its name.
John set up his first group in Coffs Harbour and some four years ago started up Blah Blah Blah Coffee for Blokes in Port Macquarie, with headquarters adjacent to the breakwall.
An additional group was also founded in Wauchope.
“We talk about all sorts of things,” John told NOTA.
“[In terms of] men’s health and well-being, which can include family issues, relationships and addictions, nothing is off limits.”
Recently joined member Stuart Lewis said the meetups were a great opportunity for men to connect.
“There is lots of stuff for women including craft works, book clubs, social groups and much more, but not much for men in later life,” he said.
John said North Haven was selected as the meeting point as it is central for men who live in Kendall, Laurieton and Bonny Hills.
Any men wishing to join this new group can ring John on 0467 390 813.

HAVING lived with the impacts of endometriosis for years, Brittany Jolly knows exactly how debilitating the chronic disease can be.
Notoriously difficult to diagnose, it is estimated the condition affects more than 800,000 Australians.
Brittany’s battle with endometriosis started on the day of her first period.
Little did she know that it would take five long years before she received a formal diagnosis.
To ease the burden for others facing similar struggles, Brittany decided
to raise awareness and much-needed funds for endometriosis support.
With the aid of her family and friends, Brittany organised an “Endometriosis Awareness Ride” on Saturday, 7 December.
Brittany’s dad, Greg Fenby, along with several other supporters, completed a 30km ride from Port Macquarie to the North Haven River Baths.
Brittany’s initial goal of raising $500 was quickly surpassed, with her efforts resulting in more than $1,800 being raised for Endometriosis Australia.
“I was hoping the community would support our fundraiser but I never expected such a positive response. It has been amazing,” said Brittany.
“Some people have driven by beeping their horns.
“Other community members have stopped by and purchased raffle tickets, which we were able to sell thanks to the generosity of
over 20 local businesses and individuals donating prizes.
“I am extremely grateful.”
Determined to make a statement, Greg chose to make the 30km ride more challenging by using a variety of bikes, including a vintage pink BMX from the 1980s.
“My daughter Brittany has been struggling with endometriosis for years,” said Greg.
“So that is why I decided to complete the ride using five different bikes.
“Why do one simple bike when I can make the ride more difficult?”

THE entrepreneurial spirit of Year 5 and 6 students from St Joseph’s Primary School (SJPS) Laurieton was on show during a “$20 Boss Market Day” event in Term 4.
This innovative initiative, inspired by not-for-profit social enterprise Young Change Agents, has been a staple at SJPS since 2021, providing students with handson experience in entrepreneurship.
Participating students are challenged to create and launch their own businesses with just $20.
This unique challenge empowers students to think creatively, conduct market research, identify target audiences and develop business plans.
Next, utilising digital technologies, the students designed logos and websites to promote their products to their peers, parents and the wider community.
The culmination of their hard work was showcased during the much-anticipated “Market Day”, where students set up stalls to sell their products and engage in reallife business transactions.
Mrs Fiona Hayward, Leader of Inclusion at SJPS, lauded the positive impact of the $20 Boss Market Day event, not only on the Stage 3 cohort but the entire student body.
She also highlighted how the challenge revitalised students' interest in learning and provided a practical platform for them to apply their skills in a real-world setting.

FOUR very different films premiere on Aussie screens this week as we trudge through the mid-summer releases.
Conclave is the return of the genuine, grown-up suspense-thriller that does not involve a serial killer.
Ralph Fiennes stars as a Cardinal of the Catholic Church who is tasked with convening a papal conclave to elect a new Pope, following the unexpected and suspicious death of the last one.
Political factions form, secrets are uncovered, tensions rise and everyone’s assumptions are challenged as the conclave engage in their mysterious rituals and processes.
A bombastic European pot-boiler from German director Edward Berger, this is the kind of film that doesn’t get made very often these days, and it’s a treat to be able to see it at the cinema.
Another surprising cinema release is Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, a sequel to the 2018 film that no one in Australia saw.
Possibly the reigning champion of B-grade action movies designed to live on streaming, Gerard Butler returns as a Sheriff chasing a criminal mastermind planning an elaborate diamond heist.
This is essentially Heat with ADHD, eschewing depth of character and engaging storytelling for more elaborate and visceral action sequences.

DEAR Jasminda,
We have a family of magpies that visit each day and my daughter has started feeding them. They are becoming very familiar and have even started coming into the house.
Should we encourage this friendship?
Helene G
Dear Helene,
MAGPIES are incredibly smart and social creatures and they can be an absolute delight to have in your garden.
Their warbling chorus is as characteristically Australian as the raucous laughter of kookaburras.
On the other hand, magpies can be territorial assailants, swooping and attacking screaming children and cyclists who dare to venture in their path.
It sounds as though you've made friends with your magpies and they have made your home theirs.
As an interesting aside, magpies have exceptional memories and recognise faces, so they know your daughter and they now associate her with their meal ticket.
of the school was just as excited to support them by purchasing their items,” said Mrs Hayward.
“Previously, we have found that towards the end of the school year some of our older students can become disengaged with the curriculum, but once we introduced the $20 Boss Challenge their curiosity began to thrive again.”
Assistant Principal Maria Wilson echoed Mrs Hayward's sentiments, emphasising the transformative and enduring impact of the program on participants.
“The $20 Boss Market Day event not only instils practical business skills but also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and resilience,” said Mrs Wilson.
“Furthermore, it has had a lasting effect beyond the classroom, with many former students translating their experiences into successful ventures in the wider
returns to the helm, so it’s clear that this kind of film is a passion of his.
Still, you can save yourself the coin and wait for it to turn up on Netflix in a few weeks.
An entry into the “boys of Summer face a monster in their backyard” genre, Monster Summer hopes to find a place in young people’s hearts just like The Monster Squad did 40 years ago.
Just like that film, it’s probable that only a very few will really latch on to this story, but it is well-made and has its share of charm.
Mason Thames (The Black Phone) is the young star at the heart of this tale of a group of young friends investigating mysterious evil, who recruit a retired and curmudgeonly police detective, played by Mel Gibson, to help.
It’s odd to be seeing films playing for
The problem is, when wildlife becomes dependent on humans, it can cause all sorts of issues.
Many people feed birds thinking they are doing something positive, but there are many foods that they shouldn't eat.
Magpies, for example, should not be fed many of the common foods people feed them such as mince, cheese or bread.
Feeding them also impacts their behaviour, as you have found, with this well-fed family of magpies coming into your home and expecting a free meal when they should be outside honing their survival skills.
The best option is to have plenty of water for the birds and other wildlife in your garden and let them do their own hunting and gathering.
That way you can enjoy their antics and sounds while knowing you aren't harming them in any way.
the nostalgia of years gone by that is set in the year 1997, but that’s more about my own age than any issues with the film.
Finally, for those super-keen on an overseas offering this week, Octopus with Broken Arms comes from Chinese filmmaker Jacky Gan.
An intense and fraught drama-thriller, the story focuses on a businessman whose daughter is taken by human traffickers and his descent into rage and violence in his efforts to recover her.
Possibly not a great “date night” film.

‘Bella’ Fede continues to make waves in the athletics world, smashing multi-class records at the School Sport Australia Track and Field Championships.
Competing for NSW at the Championships held in Sydney at the end of November, Bella took silver in the 12 Years Girls MultiClass Shot Put event with an impressive throw of 4.33m.
This effort set a new School Sport Australia record
in the F21 category.
She then clinched a gold medal in the 12 Years Girls Multi-Class Discus event with a remarkable throw of 11.73m, establishing another F21 record.
Bella’s F21 classification has been determined by Athletics Australia based on her genetic condition, Trisomy 21, more commonly known as Down syndrome.
Bella’s parents, Heidi and Lee Fede, couldn’t be prouder of their daughter’s success.
“This experience has just been phenomenal for Bella
and I felt very honoured to be there to share it with her,” said proud mum Heidi.
“She was absolutely beside herself when she won the discus event, with Bella later telling me that this was the best day of her life.
“Bella would have never reached this level without the encouragement of the students and staff of St Joseph's Primary School, in particular Mr Michael Marshall, who recognised Bella’s talent when she was in Year 4.
“Bella knew that the
community at our home town were watching her events and cheering her on, with their support giving Bella the momentum she needed.”
Despite her remarkable accomplishments, Bella's aspiration of competing in the 2032 Brisbane Paralympics currently faces uncertainty.
At present, athletes with Down syndrome can technically qualify under existing intellectual disability classifications, however advocates say these categories do not adequately account for the unique
physical, functional, and neurological characteristics of the condition, creating barriers to fair competition.
This disparity means that

LOCAL sailor Dave Castleton had a festive season to remember, testing his mettle once more in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
Commodore of the Queens Lake Sailing Club, Dave received a late call up as Watch Captain aboard “Flat White” after his usual yacht, “Inner Circle”, was unable to participate.
The 2024 Sydney to Hobart, which started on Boxing Day, was the 79th running of the internationally renowned ocean race.
Despite beautiful scenes of white sails crisscrossing the sparkling blue waters of Sydney Harbour, the annual race is considered one of the toughest ocean races on the world’s sailing calendar.
The 628-nautical mile event kicks off in Sydney Harbour, tracking a course down the south-east coast of Australia and across the perilous waters of Bass Strait before culminating in a final stretch along the River Derwent to Hobart.
Dave, a seasoned sailor with six previous Sydney to Hobart races under his belt, was well aware of the weather conditions that lay ahead and
the associated risks.
“After the first night we knew there were going to be a lot of wipe-outs,” said Dave.
“Everybody was running with the wind and that's the most likely time to crash the boat.
“So we took it very conservatively to make sure that we looked after the boat
and everybody on board, especially after hearing about the tragic incidents that occurred during the race."
The race can be a difficult experience for family back on land too.
"It's always a concern when they are out in the ocean competing without any means of communication,"
athletes with Down syndrome are forced to qualify against peers who may have intellectual disabilities but no other physical impairments.
said Chantelle, Dave’s wife. "However, I have immense faith in Dave's sailing prowess, which provides me with a sense of comfort."
Despite frustrating detours, drenched clothing, wet sleeping conditions and
tempestuous seas, Dave’s passion for sailing remains resolute.
He describes the Sydney to Hobart as an “incredible challenge” that allows him to push his limits.
"Being part of a team and
contributing to something greater than myself is truly rewarding,” he said.
“But most of all, nothing beats sharing oysters from Dunbogan in celebration after crossing the Bass Strait.”

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 24
Combined High School Championships, this was Ruby’s first time trialling for the academy, with her selection taking her by surprise.
“I completed an expression of interest (EOI) and from there I was invited to trial in Sydney,” said Ruby.
“After the trial my Mum received a text message stating that I had been selected.
“I was really surprised and I didn’t know what to say as I thought I had bombed out during the trial and I wasn’t expected to be part of the program.
“But it was a really nice surprise.”
Jack Wilson also earned a well-deserved academy spot after completing an EOI.
Despite being new to the sport, selectors extended him an invitation to trial after viewing footage of his standout grand final performance.
“I have played other sports previously including rugby league and union, both at a club and representative level, however last year was my first year playing AFL, so I was really surprised and excited when I was selected,” said Jack.
Isaac Luke and Reeve Simmons’ previous accomplishments
in representative teams, along with their impressive performances in ‘Benchmarking’ trials, solidified their inclusion in the 2025 Top End U18 Male Program.
In 2024 Isaac was part of the successful under 16 team that clinched the National Development Titles, while Reeve was a member of the victorious NSW/ACT Rams team that defeated Victoria Country 78-54 in the U17 Future Clash.
“The U18 Benchmarking [process] was certainly different,” said Isaac.
“The intensity and skill level was at a much higher level but I felt I fitted in pretty well and I was really
happy to find out I had been selected.”
For Reeve, selection in the academy this year holds special significance.
“This year I will be turning 18, which means I will be eligible to be part of the national draft process and if selected can pursue a professional career in AFL,” he said.
Established in 2010, the Swans academy aims to provide a top-tier junior development program and cultivate a thriving AFL culture in New South Wales.
Each year, the academy selects up to 700 male and female athletes aged between 11 and 19.

Smith netted a well-deserved statue for his role as the driven and visionary Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Serena and Venus. Set in the 1990s, Richard completely sacrifices his own goals and ambitions to ensure that his two daughters would become two of the best players to ever set foot on court. While the film reportedly embellishes real-life events for dramatic purposes, this is a compelling portrait of parental love in the form of obsession, with the only critique being that by focusing so much on Richard we don’t really learn anything about the sisters and their own hardships. But even so, King Richard is an ace.

You’d think the Scream formula would be getting tired by the sixth outing, but this subversive slasher franchise keeps finding new ways to innovate and entertain, with this latest entry moving the bloody mayhem to New York City. Set a year after the last movie, we find sisters Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara (Jenna Ortega) in the Big Apple to attend college, and once again being menaced by someone (or is that multiple someones?) in the Ghostface costume. The list of suspects stretches to more than a dozen in this sequel, which features more brutal kills than ever before, and has a setpiece involving a ladder escape between two buildings that ranks as one of the series’ best ever moments. Horror fans will lap up the gruesome thrills on offer here.

This delightful nostalgic throwback opens a door to 1987, when comedian Alan Carr was struggling with school bullies and the highs and lows of fourth division football in Northampton. Season two draws to a close tonight, with the stress of the Cobblers’ spot at the top of the ladder – and their potential promotion – weighing heavily on dad Graham (Shaun Dooley). Eager to get some peace, mum Christine (Nancy Sullivan) ignores the protests of the football manager and takes the family on a caravan minibreak in Great Yarmouth, where a chance meeting with a like-minded soul livens up the trip for young Alan (Oliver Savell). This coming-of-age comedy is in a league of its own.

We rely on support from people like you to create sustainable change in the Mid North Coast area. The financial aid we receive makes a big difference in how we conduct our programs here at AUSSIE BATTLERS. We have very small overheads we recover from the raffles we do. Which means 100% of our Donations are passed directly to the Community.
