We are deeply saddened by the recent loss of Darrin Voss who tragically lost his battle with cancer last week.

Many of you would know Darrin who was a very active member of our community but more importantly the gorgeous father of Chloe, Zahra and Ashton and husband to Tania.

Chloe Voss has umpired and played for Flinders and SCNA for many years. She has represented SCNA for the past four years at State Age and This year is our 15 Gold Captain.

It so difficult to find the right words but we hope Chloe and her family know that we are here for them in this difficult time.

This week in memory of Darrin we united across all clubs, at the courts, wearing his footy colours.

A memorial service will be held for Darrin at 10:00 this Thursday.

Dear Giants Family,

It is with great sadness that today we mourn the loss of our friend and fellow clubman Darrin VOSS.

This morning he lost his battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at 2.30am.

He came from the CAMPSIE family of Cops which many of us came from.
He was a fighter with a giant heart, great Cop, footy player, friend and family man. He leaves behind a beautiful family and many friends.

He passed away from a rare form of liver cancer which sadly spread.
In this photo he is seen with good friend and clubman Nigel Webber.

We will always remember him and we will play with Vossy in our hearts.

May God bless him, his family and his friends.

Vale Darrin Voss.

Nambour parkrun

3 September 2020

Nambour parkrunners I have some sad news to share tonight.

Today our little community lost a rare treasure today.

Darrin Voss who many of you know through Anytime Fitness Nambour lost his short battle with illness and passed away this morning.

What many of you may not know is that without Darrin there would not be a Nambour parkrun.

Darrin had a vision to bring parkrun to Nambour as a healthy and fun way to connect the community.

He originally approached me in March 2015 and together we searched Nambour and surrounds for the perfect course. There was nothing that would really inspire people to come to Nambour to run 5km until 1 day driving back from checking a potential course at Bli Bli I looked up at the towers on Radar Hill Rd and said there is 1 more place I can show you but trust me, parkrun will never agree to letting us have a parkrun there because it’s 100% trails with hills, no toilets or water except in the creek.

I took him out to Parklands and around the Rocky Creek circuit and of course he was hooked. I said again there was no way this would be allowed but he was determined to ask the question.

The answer from parkrun was if you can raise the money Nambour can have a parkrun there.

Straight away Darrin kicked in a generous donation and organised another donation from another local business.

The Sunshine Coast Council contributed the balance and on 21 November 2015 Nambour parkrun was launched.

Thank you Darrin for your vision, your hard work, your enthusiasm, your generosity and all you contributed to our community.

Nambour has lost a very special person today and our thoughts are with your wife Tania and beautiful family.

‘Multiple gym owner, law student, ex police officer…and all-round good guy.’

That was how I described Darrin Voss when we chatted on my show nearly four years ago.

Sadly, Darrin died today after a brave battle with cancer.

Devastating news like this stops you in your tracks.

I can only imagine what his family is going through right now.

You were always top shelf in my book Darrin Voss. RIP mate

I appreciate this will come as a complete shock to everyone but our dear friend Darrin Voss (Vossy) was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer in late May this year and has been in the fight of his life over the past 2 months trying to overcome this terrible condition.

The primary cancer formed in what is known as his billary tree and a secondary tumor has formed on his liver.

The cancer is extremely rare and very aggressive and Darren was immediately put onto a strong course of Chemotherapy.

The tumors have caused significant complications with his digestive system and about 3 weeks ago Darrin underwent major surgery to clear blockages in his bile duct and portal vein in his liver.

While the operation was successful, it put him back a few weeks with his chemo and unfortunately the tumors have continued to grow in this time and his health and strength have continued to deteriorate.

Everyone that knows Darrin will understand he is not one to ask for help, however this is a fight he just can’t handle alone.

Tania, Zahra, Chloe and Ashton have been so resilient, getting on with life best they can and dealing with the daily challenges but now they need our help.

Any donation big or small will help Darrin and Tania and their beautiful family during this difficult time. We all need to rally together and help this family in there moment of need.

Darrin is just an outstanding individual who has succeeded in every endeavor he has turned his hand to. Although he’s been involved in the fitness industry for the past 12 years he spend the 10 prior serving the community in the NSW Police Force both in general duties and later as a detective. Many people would know he’s an avid Souths fan but most wouldn’t know he played over 50 lower grade games with the Rabbitohs in the early 90’s – he just isn’t the type of person to brag about things like that.

Please share with as many of Darrin’s friends as you can reach out to, whether it be people he knew growing up and playing football, when he was in the police force or working in the gym we want to reach as many people as possible so feel free to use Facebook, private messages, messenger, WhatsApp messages or any other platform.

We also understand many of you will want to reach out to Tania and the family, but please for now just give them some space to work through this – please leave your well wishes and messages of support here and the family will make sure Darrin see them.

If you do want any further details please contact me at brad.hyem@yahoo.com.au or text me on 0466838712

North Curl Curl SLSC

We were delighted to present the inaugural Ross Lambert Perpetual award this year to Dominique Melbourn.

This award is presented for outstanding contribution in representing NCCSLSC as the best individual junior competitor at carnivals.

At State Championships 2020 Dom won gold for each of her individual water events of Swim, Iron, and Board, just managing to stay ahead of her team mate Olivia Clues.

Dom has consistently been at the pointy end in Surf Life Saving events. Gracious in defeat and magnanimous in success, Dom is polite and thoughtful to others. And when not in the water at carnivals, she is on the ropes supporting our beachies or cheering on her team mates, who altogether make an incredible team. Whilst this is presented to one individual it is equally a reflection of the exceptional peer, club, and coaching support at NCCSLSC.

.

This award is in honour of Ross Lambert, Nippers President in the 1987-88 season.

Man said to have hindered police

SYDNEY, Friday. — A teaching brother pleaded not guilty in Central Court today to a charge of hindering police who had arrested a drunken Aboriginal woman in Sydney on November 30 last year.

Before the court was Brother Thomas Charles Hammerton, 39, a De La Salle teaching brother attached to the St Vincent’s Presbytery, Redfern.

Sergeant Ross Lambert said that as the woman was being placed in the police van, Brother Thomas had tried to grab, her. He said that Brother Thomas had yelled,”Watch the racist police.

Watch. Watch”.

He told Brother Thomas to go away but he lunged again and tried to take hold of the woman.

Brother Thomas said he had told the police to treat the woman with dignity and respect.

He said the police pushed and shoved the woman like a “sack of potatoes”.

He said he had then said to them, “Hey, are you a racist or what?”

Mr Berman, SM, adjourned the hearing until March 16 and allowed Brother Thomas to go free without bail.

The Truth Saved Him From Gaol

The fact that he had told the truth with regard to his seeking work saved a man from being gaoled for vagrancy when he came before the Goulburn Police Court yesterday.

He is William Roy Carroll, of no fixed address, and he was sentenced to the rising of the Court.

Constable D. Dulgin told the court of the circumstances in which he had found the defendant in a shed in Back Street.

Other police gave supporting evidence and explained to Mr. A. J. Paton, S.M., who was on the Bench, the conditions under which track rations and relief are granted.

Carroll told Mr. Paton that at the time of his arrest he was genuinely intending to leave Goulburn and find work.

He said he had a suitcase which contained 9 shirts, three hats, a pair of boots, a pair of shoes, a frying pan and “accessories,” and other clothing.

The case was adjourned to check up on his statements and later the suitcase was produced in court.

Constable W. Huff also tendered a letter which indicated that Carroll had sought work at the Government Employment Office.

Mr. Paton said he would give him a chance to get out of Goulburn and threatened to give him a stiff sentence if he came along again on a similar charge.

Three Months’ Gaol For Speeding

SYDNEY, Monday.

A driver of a semi-trailer which travelled up to 70 m.p.h. from Mascot to Wollongong, pursued by police, was to-day gaoled for six months.

The driver of the truck, Peter Justin Gleeson, 28, of no fixed address, also ‘had his licence cancelled for three years.

Mr. Avery, S.M., in Central Court, imposed the maximum sentence for the charge of dangerous driving.

Constable Huff, of 21 Division, said the semi-trailer at times veered to the wrong side of the road, forcing traffic to pull up and pedestrians to scatter for safety, while the police car was almost forced on to the foot path.

A road block was put up at Wollongong, but nine miles on the Sydney side, Gleeson lost control of the semi-trailer and ran off the road. Gleeson was found lying in the bush 60 yards away.

Man for trial over mother’s death

SYDNEY: A 22-year-old man was committed for trial yesterday on a charge of murdering his mother.

Mr Mark Frederick Yarad, unemployed, of Cronulla, appeared in the City Court, charged with having murdered Mrs Alma Isabella Yarad at Cronulla on March 15.

Mr Goldrick, SM, found that a prima facie case against Mr Yarad had been established, and committed him to the present sittings of the Central Criminal Court.

The man’s father said his son had undergone a complete personality change after leaving school, and had been abusive toward his mother

Mr Callile John Yarad, a bookmaker, said his son had been a perfect person until he was 18, being a fine scholar.

After finishing school his son would return home for a while and then go off again, and would never keep in touch with his parents, he said. During this time he had found his son had been taking “pot”.

Mr Yarad said a parcel, which he thought contained a gun, was delivered to his son at their home on the morning of the alleged murder.

That afternoon Mr Yarad sen. had gone out and when he returned he found the police at his house.

Detective-Sergeant W. Huff told the court he had gone to the house and had seen Mr Mark Yarad.

Sergeant Huff said Mr Yarad told him, “I have shot my mother — she’s inside”.

WEDDINGS

PAFF — BURNETT

At the wedding reception of Miss Alma Burnett, and Mr. Oscar Paff, on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 5th, the wedding cake was cut with a Samurai sword, which the bride’s brother, Mr. Max Burnett (ex-RAAF) had brought back with him from New Britain.

Alma is the second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Burnett, of Macquarie St., Cowra, and the groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Paff, of Krambach.

The ceremony was performed at St. John’s Church of England, by the Ven. Archdeacon Mirrington.

The bride, who was given away by her father, was attired in a white gown of self patterned heavy cloque crepe, featuring a heart shaped neckline, ruffled bodice and sleeves, with a very full skirt, ending in a train.

Her tulle brocaded veil which was loaned to her for the occasion, was held in place with a halo of white camellias. She carried a shower bouquet of arum lilies and freezias.

Her two sisters, Mrs. V. Cooke, of Bathurst, and Mrs. B. Rodwell, of Cowra, were matrons of honor.

The former was dressed in a blue crepe gown, the skirt of which was very full. She added a shoulder length veil, held in position with a curvette of roses, and carried a bouquet of roses, ranunculus and mignonette.

The latter wore a dusty pink crepe frock with cape sleeves and a full le plum and skirt. Her matching shoulder veil was held in place with a curvette of sweet peas and carnations. She chose similar flowers for her bouquet.

The only jewellery worn by the bride was a string of pearls, while the attendants wore pendants with matching ear-rings.

Mr. Max Burnett, brother of the bride, carried out the duties of best man, and Mr. Vic Cooke, the bride’s brother-in-law, was groomsman.

A reception was held at the Lyric Hall, where the guests were received by Mrs. Burnett, who was dressed in black, with a shoulder spray of tiger lilies. She was assisted by Mrs. Paff, who was also in black relieved with pink.

Chairman at the breakfast was Mr. Hoodless, uncle of the bride. The three-decker wedding cake was made and decorated by Mr. Doug Jackson.

Soloist at the wedding was Miss Beryl Thomas, who sang ‘I’ll Walk Beside You.’

An amusing feature at the wedding was that Constable Jim Imber, friend of the groom, who was in the vicinity when the bride’s bouquet was being thrown, caught the bouquet.

The honeymoon is being spent on the North Coast.

Their future home will be at Cowra, where the groom is a member of the Cowra Police Force.

Among the guests at the wedding of Miss Alma Burnett and Mr. Oscar Paff were Mr. and Mrs. Hoodless, of Ginjelli; Mr. and Mrs. Con’n. of Hill End; Mrs. Paff and Miss Coral Paff, of Taree; Mrs. Kimm, of Hill End; and Mr. Kevin Rodwell, of Parkes. — ‘Cowra Guardian.’
