The Lane Cove Festival started on Saturday. A month of events for Lane Cove residents to enjoy have been scheduled. It started with the Coffee Carnevale in the Plaza. The Lane Cove Coffee Guide was launched. ITC managed to visit Coffee Shops in Lane Cove West, Greenwich, Lane Cove and even a café we did not know about on the Pacific Highway (which is technically still part of the Lane Cove Council Area).
Speaking of Local Events there have been plenty in the last seven days. Last Saturday night, Mowbray Public School held its Trivia Night. The theme was Back to School. A fun night was had by all with the major sponsor being old boy Stewart Kirkby L J Hooker Lane Cove Catering was by Chargrill Charlie’s.
Father’s Day breakfasts were held at Lane Cove West Public School and Lane Cove Public School where they raised funds for Gold for Gunnedah.
The Lower North Shore Police Command was in the Lane Cove Plaza for Wear it Purple Day supporting the LGBTIQ Youth community. Wear it Purple was founded in 2010 in response to global stories of real teenagers, real heartache and their very real responses. In 2010, several rainbow young people took their own lives following bullying and harassment resulting from the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity.
One member of this group was 18 year old Tyler Clementi who took his own life after being publicly ‘outed’ as gay by his roommate, prompting a frenzy as reports poured in of various young people sadly in the same situation. Wear it purple is to show young people across the globe that there was hope, that there were people who did support and accept them, and that they have the right to be proud of who they are. What started out small has now grown; however the message remains the same. Everybody has the right to be proud of who they are.

Congratulations to the Lane Cove Cats AFL Club, at the AFL Sydney Juniors presentation night, Lane Cove Cats AFL Club were awarded the best junior football club on the North Shore, while Peter Beck backed up last year’s effort to be awarded the Auskick Coordinator of the Sydney North region.

Well done to Lane Cove Taekwondo and the kids and parents who held a Junior Disco to raise money for Delvena Women’s Refuge located in Lane Cove (part of the Manly Warringah Women’s Resource Centre). They raised a massive $620.
The refuge also has many families it assists after they leave the refuge. Woolworths Lane Cove has been very helpful with providing food vouchers and ecodownunder provides sheets etc at cost price (We would love to thank them so much as when ITC approached them for help they said YES straight away).
Lane Cove Taekwondo is a family friendly club that holds several fundraisers a year and they are also supporting Gold for Gunnedah.

Police Incidents and Accidents
Drug Possession/Drink Drive – Lane Cove North
About 1:15am Friday 24th August police were conducting stationary Random Breath Testing on the Pacific Highway, Lane Cove North. At this time police directed a black Hyundai IX35 into the RBT site. Police immediately became concerned about the state of the driver as when entering the RBT site the vehicle collided with a number of traffic cones.
Police spoke with the driver, a 44-year-old female from Lane Cove North, and asked her to produce her licence. When she failed to do so police conducted a number of checks which revealed the driver was only the holder of a learners permit and was not accompanied by a fully licenced passenger. A breath test of the driver returned a positive result and as such she was arrested for the purpose of a breath analysis. Police will allege that upon exiting the vehicle the driver attempted to conceal several items in the car, a subsequent search of the vehicle by police located a small bag containing a crystal substance believed to be the drug Ice.
The female was conveyed to Chatswood Police station and subjected to a breath analysis where she returned a reading of 0.043 grams of alcohol.
The female was charged with possession of a prohibited drug, special range prescribed concentration of alcohol, driving while unaccompanied and not displaying L plates. She will appear before Hornsby Local Court next month.
