Ice Is in Town,

THIS will be the first part of a three-part series as our community tackles a difficult challenge. As you’ll learn when you read this series, Ice is one of the most deadly and addictive narcotics ever. The challenge is not simply the addictive part of it, but also the social aspect of it, the commercial aspect, the way the pushers target our most vulnerable kids, and the fact that police seem to be unable to do much to stop it. “The way we’ll stop this is through education, plain and simple,” said Andrea Simmons, President of the Australian Anti-Ice Campaign (AAIC). The deeper you delve into the available information, the more you understand this statement. The undermanned police department can do little to stop it. If they close down one Ice production, another one will open up the next week because the demand is so high. Continues PG3

Sari Hyytinen Do we ensure that we looking after ‘rural’ areas? I have recently heard from people in Cardwell who have been asking for their roads to be repaired on the back streets for more than 20 years. In that time multiple councils have been approached to improve the roads and they haven’t been improved. The people in Cardwell are wondering why the Cardwell shire council from well before the amalgamation and the Cassowary Coast regional council don’t prioritise their needs over the other townships in the region. Are there too many towns for the population of the region to be able to ensure that all the facilities are maintained, and is Cardwell the last on their list of priorities? The governments of Australia appear to me to be making a concerted effort to appeal to the largest population in their area and prioritise their needs over the rest of their constituents to ensure that they get voted in again the next year. How can people in the city of Brisbane represent the needs of people in a places like El Arish, FNQ? Their needs are entirely

different. Recently there was the vote in the Cassowary Coast for the representatives of the constituents to be elected without boundary allocations and the community voted for them to stay. Unfortunately, the boundaries have been removed from other councils and it appears to have started to foster negativity amongst communities where this has occurred. They would now like those boundaries reinstated as they don’t feel heard anymore. When I drive from Cardwell to Tully and there are vehicles that are not doing the speed limit in front of me, I get frustrated that we don’t have a two-lane highway and in Brisbane they are currently spending a fortune of tax payers dollars to reduce their commute to work by 10 minutes. They already have overtaking lanes. In Ingham there is a road that is constantly being repaired as it hasn’t been made to the standards of the region. It has been made to government standards, but do they factor in the standards that exist in places like the wet-tropics where there are high amounts of rain fall? How do the members of rural community ensure their needs are being met? For our sugar cane farmers are their voices being prioritised? There are laws that will be imposed by the State Parliament to reduce harmful nutrient and sediment run-off from farms into the Great Barrier Reef. The Agforce is

Mission Beach Community Support Inc. is a volunteer-based organisation, working to link residents and visitors across the Mission Beach area, with local services and support providers. The future goal of the organisation is to develop a community centre in Mission Beach, accessible for all service providers and community groups. At present many services can only be accessed from Tully, Innisfail or Cairns, due to a lack of appropriate accommodation. The group is currently producing an information brochure, listing phone con-

The brochure, that will be available shortly, is in response to a survey which identified that some residents preferred to use a paper copy of information, rather than searching on-line. The brochure was supported with a grant from the Cassowary Coast Regional Council Community Assistance Scheme. A comprehensive community information website is also being developed.

saying, given the extremities of our region and tropical rainfall, it will be impossible to comply with the new laws. Our politicians say they hold community consultations which they take into account when they create legislations. Farmers have worked alongside BMP for years to ensure that their practices where not causing concerns to the environment and places like the barrier reef. From what I have been informed a lot of members of a rural farming community don’t even bother to attend community consultations as they feel their needs are ignored, and those that have attended inform me that it isn’t a consultation; it is just new laws being imposed upon and being informed of the practices that have already been decided.

BREAKING NEWS from Dominic Mobbs:

On Tuesday night, Innisfail businessman, Mayor John Kremastos, confirmed his intention to stand for re-election. Bryce Macdonald, a popular runner-up to Kremastos last time, provided a very strong indication to CCIN that he was currently favouring another run. He stated that he had not yet made a final decision to stand, but he expected to finalise his position within the next few weeks. On the other hand Di Mauloni believed that it was unlikely that she could be “third time lucky” and had “no intention to stand”, while Pete Faulkner was adamant he would not be running again.

Ice Is in Town,

It’s Easy to Get, and It Will Destroy Our Community Continued from PG1

We are also seeing a lot of Ice being brought into the country from places like China and Mexico, and this is all but impossible to stop, according to Glenn Ivers, Operations Manager at AAIC. “They use the shotgun approach. They send a kilo of Ice to PO Boxes all around Australia. A kilo of Ice is worth about a quarter of a million dollars on the street.” Even if some are caught, there’s still going to be a lot of Ice out there. According to Simmons, you can even order it online. Clearly, this is a hugely profitable industry for the people who are delivering Ice to our kids, and they will go to any lengths to keep up their distribution channel. Simmons told us she spoke with one kid who had a meth lab in his kitchen. She pointed out how dangerous it was, that his whole house could blow up. “But look at how much money I’m making,” was his reply. What all of this means is that it’s a near impossible task to cut off the supply. Simmons said she could walk into any of our towns and find a supplier within five minutes. From the demand side, Ice is extremely seductive and very cheap. One local parent told us that

you can buy enough for a hit for $5. Desperate parents are decrying the price of alcohol compared to Ice and calling for a reduction in the tax hit of a schooner of beer as a possible solution. Others are calling for stiffer penalties, an approach that didn’t work in the USA during their decade-long “war on drugs”. The pushers are brutal, ugly, and greedy – they are not doing this to help the kids, they know the dangers of the drug, they know how a single hit can create an addict with serious long-term health issues, they don’t care, and they will not stop. Who do they target? Anyone, any age, any walk in life! They will lace marijuana with Ice to get them addicted. They will give it to kids as young as eight-years old, marketing it as “like ice cream”. They will offer it in pill form without telling their victim it’s Ice. They will give it to young girls for free to get them addicted, but also because it is a sexual stimulant, the combination of which leads to a sex trafficking. Prostitution in exchange for Ice is a daily occurrence in our communities. The cycle of addiction with Ice is very simple. Take someone who is feeling depressed, alone, in

need of excitement or stimulation. Give them Ice, which can be smoked, ingested, injected, snorted, or inserted anally. Initially, the user receives a glorious high through the release of dopamine into the brain. Our brains love dopamine. Other ways of getting a dopamine hit that many people experience include a winning lottery, getting a job, making a big sale, receiving an award, eating something delicious, playing computer games, having sex, etc. These are natural ways of triggering dopamine that we all experience. Ice is not natural. It will give you the same kind of high the first time, the second time, and maybe the third time. After that, your brain adapts. Instead of feeling your normal day-to-day level of happy, you find yourself feeling depressed. Now, you need Ice just to feel normal; sometimes just to get enough energy and motivation to get up and have a shower. You’re addicted and your life will never be the same. These are not horror stories. This is the normal life of an Ice addict. Next week and the week after, we will be exploring the fall and recovery of two Ice victims, both of whom never saw it coming.

The Toyota hybrid cavalcade is coming to Bartrac Tully! HYBRID Cavalcade is an Australia –wide series of educational and inspirational events presented by Toyota. It brings Hybrid technology to life in a simple and interactive way, allowing guests to get up close and personal with the unique vehicles Toyota have to offer. Toyota is the undisputed leader in Hybrid technology, with the widest range of Hybrid models, 20 years of technical expertise and over 12 million Toyota Hybrid cars sold globally. No other brand is better placed to talk about Hybrid technology as the world races towards a more sustainable future. The Toyota Cavalcade is evidence of Toyota’s commitment to supporting regional Australia with responsible and sustainable motoring solutions and to demonstrate and educate on how Hybrid technology can both meet their and the environments’ needs. This initiative offers an alternative way to dispel common myths about Hybrid vehicles such as difficulties with charging; limited battery life, or that four-wheel drive and towing requirements can’t be met by these vehicles. The Cavalcade Semi will roll into town this Monday morning the 19th August, carrying 6 different vehicles from Toyota’s unique Hybrid range and be based at Bartrac’s Used Yards on the Bruce Highway. There will be plenty of opportunities to test drive the vehicles, as well as Hybrid experts on hand to answer any questions and also run educational sessions. On the fun side, there will be various games to play, including a Spin-to-Win Wheel, a Hybrid Power Tester and a Hybrid Skills Tester; with plenty of prizes and giveaways throughout the day. The Cavalcade will run from 11 am to 4pm and includes a free Sausage Sizzle between 12noon and 2pm. More Australians than ever before are ready to embrace the future, so there’s never been a better opportunity on the Cassowary Coast to experience and better understand Hybrid technology.

Tropical Art Deco Weekend on the Cassowary Coast a Roaring Success IT was a weekend of jazz, sequins, spats, diva dogs, vintage clothes and great fun when the Tropical Art Deco Weekend took centre stage in Innisfail. Tropical Art Deco Weekend reference group spokeswoman Kerry Linton said locals mixed with visitors from art deco Napier in New Zealand, Cairns, Tablelands, Townsville, Brisbane and all points in between. Snapping Tours’ Black Hand Gang cruise on the Johnstone River was a sell out as guests dressed in gangster gear from the 20s and 30s and spent the night dancing the Charleston. The Queens Hotel’s Doggie Deco Breakfast and Latino Jazz Long Lunch were popular events, with the hounds competing with their owners in their jaunty hats and vintage fashion statements. Saturday night’s brain cancer fundraiser The Silver Ball saw the Cassowary Coast and visitors to the region stepping out in high fashion with beads, baubles and braces, spats, fedoras and feather boas. “People looked fantastic at the ball and really got into the spirit with the dressing up,” Ms Linton said. “I met some people from the Tablelands and they were super impressed with the whole event. “The event in the street with the vintage cars

drew good numbers while the community band played jazz on the Shire Hall verandah. The art deco Historical Walk and Talk and Conversations with Cr Ben were also well received on the weekend. “We even had art deco belly dancers dancing at different venues around the street and a local dancing school did a spectacular performance as well in red sequins in front of the Shire Hall. There was music all morning and lots of atmosphere. And the weather was beautiful!” Ms Linton said the events leading up to the weekend itself were also a success. “The high teas were hugely popular, and the trivia night was a great success with lots of people dressing up. ‘Just Sing It’ dressed up in art deco gear and went to Villa Nova on Wednesday night to entertain a big crowd of residents. They loved our outfits, joined in the singing and had a wonderful time,” she said. Ms Linton said the reference group was grateful to the assistance given by Cassowary Coast Regional Council. “I think the Council staff were wonderful. They put in a big effort with their expertise, particularly with creating the posters, the Facebook page and the website,” she said. “We’re all exhausted but it was well worth the effort. We are meeting to debrief on August 28 to discuss what went well and what we might do differently. It can only get bigger and better next year.”

Cardwell UFO festival

event like this if they had never witnessed or experienced anything themselves, he answered, “I would like to thank curiosity first and foremost. Anyone who comes to any particular UFO event has to be curious about it. That means you can be a Believer or even a nonbeliever, but you really are keen to come and find out what is it all about.” The UFO festival held the C-Files forum were three hosts that came from a variety of backgrounds came to discuss strange encounters that had occurred for members of the Cassowary Coast Community in a bit more depth. These discussions covered “ET, UFOs, paranormal, supernormal, spiritualism, you name it,” said SIFU a radio show presenter from Brisbane on The Bay FM 100.3. The purpose of the C-Files forum is to ensure that there is a safe area where people are able to discuss their own strange encounters. SIFU believes this to be an important part of the UFO festival, “What the organisers have done is really responsible and they’ve created a safe place no one is recorded. You have people who have had these encounters and are quite traumatised. They use this as a healing and a sharing space as well. Which I think is absolutely phenomenal and I think it is absolutely essential in terms of people putting the pieces back, integrating and getting their lives back on track.” When CCIN asked the hosts if they would come back to Cardwell’s UFO festival, they all said yes. “There is a whole agenda of disclosure happening now in the UFO field. People that have been involved in the field investigating are watching that space very carefully to see what the government/governments are actually releasing,” said SIFU. A C-Files host who has already published 12 books and is now set to write another was Dr Rex Gilroy, a PHD professor of history with an honorary PHD from UC University in California. As a C-Files host Rex predominantly discussed his research into Yowies, however, Rex has been investigating ancient civilisations that he believes has impacted upon the aboriginal culture and its early development. Dr Gilroy informed us that he was awarded his PHD, “In recognition of a lifetime dedicated to research in zoology which includes mystery animals and hominids. My other work includes ancient civilisations that had contact with Australia before Captain Cook.”

Council Recruiting Out-of-Town Consultant for Comms Team

SEAN DENT

HEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S what CCRC said last week in a press release: CCRC grows local talent and cuts outof-town consultants. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened this week. CCRC placed an ad through Peak Services for an out-of-town consultant to fill a role in the Comms Team â&#x20AC;&#x153;on short notice.â&#x20AC;? Peak Services is the same firm that recruited Anne Pleash to fill the Executive Manager position, a process that the Council also termed an Australia-wide search. The new role, initially a three-month contract with potential for permanent role, offers a generous salary of at least $50 an hour plus Super and free accommodation for their first month â&#x20AC;&#x153;whilst you decide where you would ultimately like to live.â&#x20AC;? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting is that the consultant is being brought in to shore up a communications team that is

ballooning in terms of costs, especially when you compare it to the previous council that essentially had a single consultant working about half a week on a reasonable salary. One estimate compares the Comms Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combined salary of roughly $400k versus $80K for the previous comms person. Rumours are swirling inside the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices that Pleash, who acted as Bob Katterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief of Staff since 2013, helping him to get re-elected, has been brought in to do a similar job for the current council, at least two of whom feel under threat in the upcoming elections. Internally, staff are concerned that if the Executive Manager is focused on that, who is working on their EBA? In theory, the Council is limited in terms of spending money on election campaigns as it would be unfair to other candidates. One council employee told us under the con-

CCRC Correspondent

Dominic Mobbs THE Cassowary Coast Regional Council meeting on 8 August 2019, consisting of 7 sequential committee meetings, was pretty uneventful, although there was an interesting discussion revolving around Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed new code of conduct policy for councillors. This will require all councillors, executives and senior staff to hold a blue card. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven committees are Major Projects; Community and Customer; Economic Activation and Tourism; Financial Sustainability; Governance and Environment; Asset Sustainability and Planning. Each is chaired by a different councillor with the aim of getting councillors more involved with specific areas of Council activities. According to Crs. Taylor and Kimberly, the use of the previous Greenway Caravan Park in Tully for recreational vehicles at $10/night is proving very successful with 10 to 20 vehicles using the facility every night and Tully shopkeepers reporting improved sales. Currently there is a 48-hour stay cap but at the end of the season, Cr Heath indicated that Council would consider extending this period for next year. The spat between Council and the Transport Department over who is responsible for permits for roadside food vendors, particularly at Diggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek, continues with each claiming the other is responsible. Council officers to follow

up Cr. Kimberleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to sort this issue out. Meanwhile the Cowley Creek Bridge project, which commenced back in October 2018 and originally planned to be finished a short time later, but then 30 June, now has a 31 December 2019 completion date. In the interim the prefabricated bridge, worth at least $300,000, continues to sit at the side of the road where it has for the past seven months awaiting installation. No reason provided by Council for this delay, but Director Goodman did indicate that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be consulting with the stakeholders to determine and confirm the timing of the works to the abutments and installation of the bridge to minimise the impact of the temporary closure.â&#x20AC;? And of course, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a CCRC meeting without the public and media being asked to leave the room. This was to prevent hearing about the 2019 National Disaster Relief and Recovery Works Program Progress Report while it was being presented. Why such a basic report as this should be secret is anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess as no reasons were given. Following representations from local State member, Shane Knuth, the CEO indicated to Council that he will look for grants to assist with mitigating the erosion from the Johnstone River on the Innisfail Bowls Club site. Possible cost ranges from $1m to $3m. In order to reduce Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant rates arrears of over $7.3m, Council has elected to

dition of anonymity for fear of losing their job, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leading up to an election, if Council spent massive amounts of money on advertising programs and projects, they would be accused of election advertising, but producing press releases are a different thing. Press releases are not seen as advertising and they will get away with it.â&#x20AC;? This is not an unheard-of strategy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often followed by the sending of press releases regarding trivial matters designed to create the impression that a council is doing something important. Usually, that is followed by the organisation pressuring a news outlet to print their press releases wholesale, often with the promise of advertising dollars. With that incentive in place, they will sometimes complain of negative press from a certain journalist, asking the powers-thatbe to get them to back off. It is also seen by ratepayers

commence the sale of land for 39 properties with outstanding rates of $795,357. And for those who find some of the speeches you hear a little boring, have no fear. Council is advertising for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Internal Communications Adviserâ&#x20AC;? on an initial 3-month contract. Their position will not only include â&#x20AC;&#x153;championing the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes and cultureâ&#x20AC;? but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Writing and managing the content of public speechesâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?. Other than a welcome return to being able to pay your rates by credit card without the 1% surcharge introduced by the previous Council there is nothing particularly remarkable. All general ratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; categories had their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rate in the $â&#x20AC;&#x2122; increased by 1.5%, except primary production which only increased 0.9%. This is now the third year in a row this category has either had a reduction in their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rate in the $â&#x20AC;&#x2122; charge, or a lesser increase than all other categories. Of course our rural friends would still note that their 0.035 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rate in the $ chargeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is still the highest by far. Perhaps most interesting this year is the brochure accompanying the rates notice entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Rates Dollars: How They Work For Youâ&#x20AC;?, whose objective, in part, appears to be to justify the level of rates CCRC charges. Notable in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;for every $100 of your general ratesâ&#x20AC;? section is the 158% increase in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Organisational Supportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the 156% rise in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Special Community Projects and Planningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the 114% rise in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Economic and Tourism Developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, while

as an unethical use of money that is supposed to be used for the benefit of the community. One person with inner knowledge of the workings of the Council said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They see getting this council re-elected as their mandate, as opposed to using the Comms Team to communicate with their constituents.â&#x20AC;? The recruitment ad in question starts with four paragraphs extolling the virtues and â&#x20AC;&#x153;enviable lifestyleâ&#x20AC;? of working in the region: â&#x20AC;&#x153;rainforests, tropical beaches and islands and its closeness to the Great Barrier Reef â&#x20AC;Ś white-water rafting and sea-kayaking to skydiving and diving on the Great Barrier Reef.â&#x20AC;? The job requirements include the ability to write speeches, champion the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;proven experience of mitigating reputational risksâ&#x20AC;?. This follows an ad placed in June for the position of Marketing and Digital Content Of-

ficer that offered a salary of up to $80k. That ad also opened by talking about the virtues of living in the region. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear at this point whether that position was filled, and there was a shake-up recently when Pleash was appointed to the position of Executive Manager. An internal organisation chart indicated that Pleash was in charge of the Comms team, the role Bill Davis filled before his sacking. Shortly after Pleashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment, Peter McCullagh, Manager Marketing & Media, was sacked only a few months after his position was made permanent and after being Acting Manager for a year before that. Council employees are furious and anxious that their EBA is not being worked on and that

they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust a council executive team that keeps changing priorities and will not answer their questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not allowed to ask questions at the recent staff meeting, just sit there shut up and be told how bloody wonderful council is,â&#x20AC;? said one employee. If you are a council employee or a ratepayer/voter, and you have something to say, write to me with complete confidentiality at sean@ccin.com.au. Note: a spokesperson from CCRC denied that the cumulative salaries are $400k, but said CCRC does not discuss salaries. She also said the Enterprise Bargaining Team, will meet again this Friday and continues to work on the EBA.

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

Tranquil Tropicats WELCOME to Tropicats! After taking a holiday on the Cassowary Coast in early 2006, we decided it was time for a change and moved to Tropicats! Tropicats is set on thirteen tranquil acres with walking tracks around the rainforest, creeks, and ponds that are home to a myriad of birds, plants and wildlife. The Cattery has been designed with the cats in mind! The 15 by 6 metre building is insulated with roller doors staggered at both ends to give flow through ventilation, when the bistro blinds are rolled up. The guests sit, watch, and wait from their individual suites for inquizative birds and butterflies in flight above them, or around the mulberry tree just outside. With a view of the dam with ducks and the occasional kangaroo grassing, is a perfect place to relax watching the friendly interaction. I have the best job in the world, in purfect paradise, I love it... The new edition to the cattery is the e-ion air purifying system, it’s wonderful to be able to set the temperature for comfort. The tinted bistro blinds work well to keep the high rainfall out and filter the sunrays for cool cats. The cat enclosures measure 2 metres high and 2.4 metres deep and vary from .9 to 1.8 metres wide with plenty of room to play on the multi-level platforms. Each suite has a chair, cushion, scratch pole or carpet patch with a tunnel to hide under and sweep fans above. Mealtime is twice daily with fresh fish or steak and two different types of Royal Canin dry food recom-

mended from our vet. Special diets and medication is catered for, just bring any instructions along, don’t feel silly, it’s all part of the pampering. Cat litter trays, bowls and floors are cleaned twice daily with a natural insecticide and antibacterial wash, to keep any nasties and smells away.

LINDA Ryding’s Puppy Tales Farmstay is outside of Tully. Linda, the proprietor, has had dogs all her life, and it was her love for dogs that inspired her to establish the business. She has more than 30 years of experience with owning and handling dogs, but besides her love for canines, Linda brings professionalism to Puppy Tales Farmstay, with four years of experience in managing a

large kennel and cattery in Brisbane. Linda says, “We provide an at-home environment to all our guests.” Even the softer pooches are catered for. “Inside dogs are brought in at night but have access to small enclosed grassed area for nightly toilet runs. It’s important that all dogs feel safe and comfortable in conditions that are as close as possible to their homes.” The Puppy Tales Farmstay property provides four acres of space for dogs to run and play during the day, and the more adventurous guests are kept safely on site with puppy proof fencing. To guarantee everyone a pleasant and safe experience, all dogs must be socialised, vaccinated and desexed. A “Welcome Meet ‘n Greet” can be arranged by appointment, and doggy day care is available. Please see the ad for contact details and call or write for more information.

Do you have a thrifty and affordable recipe idea? Each year, the TSC gathers recipes from staff, volunteers and community members to be included in the recipe database. Out of this database the TSC chooses 40 or so recipes to be included in the annual Thrifty and Affordable recipe book which is distributed to TSC clients accessing Emergency Relief financial assistance and interested community members. The Home cooked meal A home cooked meal is becoming increasingly rare. The family ritual that our parents and grandparents enjoyed of creating a meal to be shared with friends and family, is at risk of being lost to time. Interestingly, it is time that seems to be the biggest factor in the move away from the family, prepared and eaten, meal. I learnt to cook in my parent’s kitchen; both mum and dad were good cooks. I can also remember reading my grandmothers cookbooks and the tactile sensation of turning the pages, reading the recipes and seeing the black and white image of the finished dishes. Not only is the family meal a great way to pass on cooking skills to our children, but it is also a great way to spend time with our kids and talk with them. Standing shoulder

to shoulder with anyone; rather than face-toface; is a non-confrontational way to talk and you are more likely to get a positive response. Eating out or an ‘easy meal’ is great every now and then and gives everyone, including the cook a night off, but eating out can be expensive. It is with this in mind that the Tully Support Centre (TSC) has gathered a large collection of thrifty and affordable recipe ideas over the years. If you have a recipe for a healthy, affordable meal that you would be willing to share please email the TSC at maxine@tullysupportcentre.com.au mail to PO Box 212, Tully or drop it in to the centre at 54 Bryant Street Tully. The Tully Support Centre is funded by the Queensland Government and services communities throughout the Cassowary Coast. The Tully Support Centre is located at 54 Bryant Street in Tully, opening hours Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00am to 1:00pm & 2:00pm to 4:00pm and Wednesday 9:00am to 1:00pm & 2:00pm to 6:00pm.

Intimate Audience Enjoys 'the Longest Minute' MARIA GIRGENTI AN intimate audience recently gathered for a once-off free community performance of 'The Longest Minute' at Con Theatre, Innisfail. The once-off performance came to Innisfail on very short notice, after their original venue in Thursday Island was not ready, and since they needed to host a community performance, Cassowary Coast Regional Council came to the rescue. The Longest Minute was developed and produced by JUTE Theatre Company and brought back to life the moment North Queensland Cowboys won the 2015 NRL grand final in a nail-biter derby game against Brisbane Broncos. While in Innisfail, they also put on a school performance of The Longest Minute at Radiant Life College and, after the show, the cast worked with a group of Year 5 and 6 students. During the artist-in-residence program, students wrote and rehearsed their own aspirational stories of success which they shared to an appreciative school audience. The program is aimed at engaging Indigenous young people in education, providing opportunities for them to build their self-confidence and self-esteem, team work, writing and performance skills, self-expression, and enable access to theatre-based skills development. The Longest Minute is part of a fiveyear initiative, from 2016 - 2020 to develop, produce and tour new inspirational theatre work from Indigenous artists to regional and remote North Queensland communities. This year, The Longest Minute will

with Katriina Hyytinen Hello, This week I had four popular birds in my backyard. There were birds that stayed around day in day out and there were birds who just stopped to rest for a while before moving on to their next destination. The first one is a flock of sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, the second is an Australasian Figbird, the third is an Olive-backed sunbird and the fourth is a Spotted Dove. I would love to know about your most popular residents?!!

Flock of sulphur-Crested Cocatoos

tour from July to September through JUTE Theatre's Dare to Dream program and will visit Innisfail, Bamaga, Mapoon, Weipa, Mossman, Ravenshoe, Yarrabah, Mount Isa, Doomadgee and Cloncurry where the touring team will spend four days in each community. The Longest Minute which is co-written by Robert Kronk and Nadine McDonald-Dowd featured the talented all Aboriginal cast of Nazaree Dickerson, Leonard Donahue, Kaleenah Edward and Mark Sheppard, accompanied by PJ Rosas as stage manager. For one family of Cowboys diehards, their whole lives have led up to this moment. Australasian Figbird Jess who was born on the night of the North Queensland Cowboys first game in Townsville is the daughter of Foley Shield legend, Frank 'Black Flash' Wright. Jess grew up as a footy fanatic with big dreams, silky skills and boundless ambition to play the game she loves. But as a girl in a male dominated sport, she faces more than her fair share of knockbacks, just like the luckless Cowboys. Despite their relentless string of losses, Jess still dares to believe in her team, and herself. After the performance, on stage the cast fielded a question and answer session which prompted a number of interesting and thought-provoking Friends of the Con members with the stage manager and cast of questions from audience mem- 'The Longest Minute' after their community performance at the Con Theatre bers.

Do road rules apply to cyclist? Jane Moran | Senior Constable | Cassowary Coast Crime Prevention | IF YOU are on a bicycle, it is important to remember that you are still bound by the general road rules as well as additional road rules specific to cyclists. Cyclists can be issued traffic fines for riding through a red light, not wearing a helmet, or riding the wrong way along the street are among the most common traffic offences. Always use your common sense, obey the road rules, and remember to regularly check your surroundings and the vehicles around you. Some of the penalties related specifically to cyclist include: • carrying more passengers than a bicycle is designed for; • failing to give way to pedestrians on a footpath or shared path; and, • failing to display a light at night or in hazardous weather conditions. Cyclists who break these road rules will be given the same fines as motorists: • failing to stop at a red traffic light; • disobeying a ‘no U-turn’ sign at an intersection; • failing to stop at a ‘stop’ sign at an intersection; and,

•

exceeding the speed limit in a speed zone by less than 13km/h.

As a motorist, it is important to remember that bicycles are much smaller than cars and trucks, so they are harder to see. Check your blind spots before changing lanes, turning, or when you open your car door. If it is safe, indicate and pass the cyclist at the minimum distance. If it is not safe, slow down and wait until it is safe for you to pass. This should not hold you up for long and it could save the life of a cyclist. You are allowed to cross centre lines, including double unbroken centre lines, to pass a cyclist as long as it is safe to do so. If it is not safe to pass a cyclist, you must wait until it is safe to pass. It is legal for two cyclists to ride side-by-side on a road, as long as they are not more than 1.5m apart. If a cyclist is ahead of you and you want to turn left, turn behind the cyclist. Overtaking and cutting off the cyclist is very dangerous. For more information on road rules specific to cyclists, please go to: http://www. qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/nonpowered/bicycle/index.html Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, August 15, 2019 Page 9

RURAL REPORT

CANEGROWERS has taken the rare step of airing a commercial on regional television stations warning the Palaszczuk Government about the impacts of a bill currently before the Queensland Parliament. The message of the 30 second commercial is simple – the bill must be stopped. “It's important the government and our communities hear directly from growers that there is no justification for more intrusive red tape, CANEGROWERS Chairman Paul Schembri said. “The so-called Reef Bill proposes an escalation of bureaucratic interference in the sugarcane industry. It is an affront to growers.

“We have been working under regulations designed to improve water quality for the Great Barrier Reef for a decade and the huge investment by growers in changing farming practices has been acknowledged in government reports as having an impact. “The industry has been innovative and cooperative and grows are taking responsibility for their impact on the environment. “The way forward is to continuing collaboration for the benefit of the environment, the economy and our communities. “We need the government's to allow us to forge ahead with the programs and projects already underway which are recog-

nising and valuing growers for what they have done and are continuing to do for improved water quality for the reef.” The message of the TV commercial is simple – The Bill Must Be Stopped. The 30 second commercial is being broadcast on stations in Cairns Townsville and Mackay and Wide Bay broadcast regions. A longer version of a video is available to watch on YouTube it's being shared on CANEGROWERS social media platforms and by our supporters.

Banana growers urge Queensland Government to reconsider regulation The Australian Banana Growers’ Council (ABGC) has warned the Queensland Government that proposed additional reef regulations for land already owned by growers could have devastating impacts for the $600m industry. The proposal would classify new horticultural development – on both current and future banana farms – as a new Agricultural Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA). The ABGC understands and welcomes the need for measures to protect the Great Barrier Reef. The Banana Industry has worked closely with the Department of Environment and Science on proposed minimum sediment and nutrient standards and has a range of initiatives in place to improve farm practices and water quality. However, the additional, proposed blanket ERA provisions go above and beyond these standards, requiring farmers to implement expensive and impractical measures on land they already own. The provisions fail to take into account location, landscape or climatic conditions and it is the ABGC’s firm belief that they would not only have a negative impact on banana growing, but fail to do anything further for the Reef. “Though we have tried to communicate this to the Queensland Government both in writing and face-to-face, it would appear that our views on

the development of current grazing land in North Queensland are either not understood or are simply being ignored,” ABGC chair Stephen Lowe said. “The Government’s proposal is to restrict new horticultural development on land that has not had horticulture or other crops on it 3 years out of the last 10 with at least one of these in the last 5 years. “This proposal to make horticultural production an Environmentally Relevant Activity (an ERA) would restrict future horticultural development and sends the wrong message to our rural communities. It shows the Queensland Government is not supporting future rural economic development.” If introduced, the ABGC has told Government the provisions would result in serious profitability and sustainability issues on grazing land within existing banana farms and on other land that has been bought for the production of bananas or other horticulture. On top of that, they would hinder future innovation and diversification in the banana industry that directly and indirectly supports 18,000 jobs in North Queensland and has a flow on value of $1.2b. The ABGC also notes that such a proposed ERA would be applied retrospectively, six months after the Bill is passed in Parliament. “It’s unfair to regulate conditions of how land can be used and what approvals will be required after free-

hold land has been purchased,” Mr Lowe said. “I am also concerned that there is nothing to stop the goal posts being moved on a political whim. Endless delays to the approval process – where no decisions could be made either way – would also be disastrous for banana growers.” The ABGC has suggested that, instead of the proposed ERA, the new minimum nutrient and sediment standards be applied to all existing freehold land, regardless of whether it has previously been developed for horticulture. No matter the parcel of land or its history, the ABGC believes that this approach will best complement existing Best Management Practice farming systems. This is the best way to achieve the desired result of no net decline in the quality of water entering the Great Barrier Reef. “The proposed ERA simply seems to ignore the realities of farming – be it varying climates, the fact that most

banana growers have diversified to combat natural disasters and disease, or even just the long-term planning involved in keeping a farming business afloat,” Mr Lowe said. “We’ve developed a good working relationship with the Queensland Government over the years, but on this issue the Government has taken ill-informed advice from the environmental movement. I urge the Government to reconsider its position. “I know many growers would happily welcome representatives onto their farms to demonstrate the very real ways decisions like this could affect farming into the future.”

Catholic Education Week Celebrated at Good Counsel Primary School MARIA GIRGENTI OVER 600 students and 80 staff from Catholic schools in the region recently gathered for a special liturgy at Mother of Good Counsel Church in Innisfail and activities as part of Catholic Education Week celebrations. Good Counsel Primary students were joined by staff and students from the Southern Deanery Schools which included St John’s, Silkwood; St Rita’s, Babinda; St Clare’s, Tully; St Rita’s, South Johnstone, as well as Year 7 students and staff from Good Counsel College. The Mass was concelebrated by Father Kerry Crowley, Innisfail Parish Priest; Father Hilary Flynn, Tully Parish Priest and Father Mathew Kochuveettil, Innisfail Assistant Priest which also celebrated the Feast Day of St Peter Chrysologus. Special guests who attended were: Paul Cazzulino, Manager of School Operations; Ursula Elms, Director of Learning and Teaching; Leigh Martin, Acting Director of School Effectiveness and Toni Foley, Senior Education Officer Identity and Mission-Cairns Catholic Education Services. Principals of each of the schools, Narelle Harney (St Clare's, Tully), Peta Bryan (St John's, Silkwood), Karran Burzacott (St Rita's, South Johnstone), Judy Billiau (St Rita's, Babinda), Liam Kenny (Good Counsel Primary) and Cathy Barrett (Good Counsel College) were also given a warm welcome.

Each school was represented with a display of their work in the church and their respective banners. After Mass, students were then split into groups, with the Preps to Year 2 taking part in rotational games, activities and lunch play, while Years 3 and 4 took part in activities at Warrina Lakes co-ordinated by Year 11 and 12 students from Good Counsel College, who are completing a Certificate III in Fitness. The Year 11 students from Good Counsel College who did the face painting are in the process of completing a Certificate III in Child Care. Year 5 and 6 students were given a personalised tour by Year 7s of the facilities at Good Counsel College where they were treated to drama, science, music, IT, home economics, sports and art activities. Catholic Education Week provides an opportunity for all Catholic schools to celebrate and promote their distinctive mission and ethos. This year's theme 'Many Voices. One Spirit.' was chosen for its promotion and support of inclusiveness. Many voices represent those students, teachers, families, communities, parish, social services and government within all five dioceses in Queensland and include all students of educational ages (from kindergarten to university), genders and beliefs. 'One Spirit' can be interpreted in a number of different ways such as our faith, the Holy Spirit, school,

team, parish and family spirit. The theme promotes feelings of energy, enthusiasm, love, relationships, togetherness, learning, unity and belonging, which are all ideals relevant to Catholic schools in Queensland today. The day was all about meeting students from the Deanery schools, saying hello to old acquaintances, relatives and making new friends. Catholic education strives to make a difference in the lives of those in schools and the wider community by challenging young The 17 Innisfail State College instrumental music students who took part in the SHEP at people to live out the message of Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University in Brisbane Jesus, as well as reach their full potential as compassionate, contributing, life-giving members of society.

Channel Record Holder Grimsey Instils Distance Pedigree in Mission Beach Kids

TRENT Grimsey, the current world record holder for the English Channel, was at South Mission Beach on Sunday as a guest of the South Mission Beach Surf Club. I watched the 10:30 session: the kids open water session. Nine kids turned up for this session for the chance to brush shoulders with a champion swimmer and learn from him. The sessions were straightforward, and Grimsey definitely worked them, evidenced by

the slower steps as they exited the water toward the end, but the water was warm, the sun was high in a bright blue sky, and they seemed happy to be there with swimming royalty. As is Grimsey’s specialty, he focused on efficiency. “Trying to get them to be more efficient swimmers, trying to get them to lengthen out their strokes. If there’s two swimmers and one’s taking a hundred strokes and one’s taking 30 stokes, the one taking more strokes is obviously using more energy, so just trying to get them to stretch

it out.” It seemed like discipline – obviously another strength of a channel swimmer — was part of the lesson too. Initially, Grimsey had them stand behind a line in the sand and wait for his signal before running to the water and perform distinct manoeuvres, long-limb running movements as they navigated the shallower water, dolphin diving, then swimming out to the edge of the nets, before returning. Later, he had all nine of them walk toward the water in single file, making their way

out to where there were up to their necks. Again, they awaited his signal (always preceded by a reminder of what he expected of them), then they swam across the water parallel to the coast, negotiating the incoming waves, some of which were challenging if not exactly like what Grimsey faced during his world record swim. They did this routine a few more times, always striving to lengthen their strokes, before coming out of the water again. By then, they were spent enough to take a seat on

the sand and take in what the long-distance expert had to impart. A couple of parents came to watch. One of the moms expressed her hope to Grimsey that being around him would inspire her daughter to apply herself more to swimming practice. Apparently, her daughter wants to be a lifeguard. “I told her, you need to be a good swimmer to be a lifeguard,” the mom said to him. You’d imagine spending a bit of time with such a famous and accomplished swimmer, something will rub off on these

kids. Everyone seemed to be happy to be there, that was pretty clear. Every story of endeavour has a starting point, a point of inspiration. Maybe in ten years some of these kids will have their own stories and remember this day as their personal starting point. Around 24 adults and 20 kids participated in the clinics over the two days at Mission Beach and South Mission Beach, coming from as far away as Cairns, Townsville and the Tablelands to attend.

Cassowary Coast Little Athletics Host Development Clinic MARIA GIRGENTI CASSOWARY Coast Little Athletics recently hosted a three-hour development clinic at Castor Park, Mourilyan which was run by Shaun Lethem from Little Athletics Queensland and local coaches. A total of 17 athletes participated, with boys and girls aged from Under 7 to Under 15, several of them from Tully Little Athletics. Lethem, who is based in Brisbane and covers a huge area from Cooktown to Bryon Bay, ran sessions on long and triple jump, while Cara Boustead focused on sprints and centre manager Brenda Gracie did shot put.

Gracie recently completed a coaching course which assists with confidence building and Lethem said they are encouraging club coaches to get involved as they rely on them, and it is much better than LAQ having to provide outside coaches. The shot put clinic focused on basic skills and reinforcement of basic skills, where Lethem said all the participants were really engaged. Gracie and Sharna Toolen focused on basic shot put technique, while former local, Boustead worked on block starts, arm action, stride length and speed, sprint starts and correct starting techniques with the older athletes. Boustead, who previously

worked for LAQ in development and is now a PE teacher living in Melbourne, has run the Stawell Gift Race for the past eight years, which is traditionally held over Easter long weekend in Central Park, Stawell. Despite the wet weather playing havoc with Friday club nights for the past eight weeks, athletes are hoping for finer weather in the coming weeks as many of them prepare for the Nordic Sport Tropical North Regional Championships being held at Tully Little Athletics Centre and Tully State High School from August 31 to September 1.

Innisfail Bowls Club River Erosion MEMBER for Hill Shane Knuth MP is pleased upgrades to the Innisfail Bowls Club could soon become a reality thanks to combined lobbying to the Minister’s Office with the Bowls Club Committee and representatives of the Cassowary Coast Regional Council since early this year. The Bowls Club, only four years shy of its centenary, has been experiencing erosion from the Johnstone River for more than 10 years which has resulted in visible signs of collapsing toward the river along the footpath, around the bowling green, and part of the carpark. After inspecting the site Mr Knuth along with the Bowls Club Committee, raised the issue with the Minister, which resulted in a visit with the

North Region Executive Director of the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Andrew Buckley last month. Mr Knuth said while they don’t have the green light yet, the steps to this point look positive, “Mr Buckley reported back from the Minister’s Office recommending two highly suitable grants, one which requires application from The Bowls Club, and one requiring the backing of CCRC,” Mr Knuth said. Cr Nolan tabled a letter to council written by Shane Knuth MP after Mr Knuth received a directive from the Minister’s office outlining ministerial guidance to application process. “The Innisfail Bowls Club has become a community asset hosting so-

cial and competitive events for clubs and groups in the region, so keeping its doors open and the bowling green usable is vital,” Mr Knuth said. Cr Mark Nolan said management will now process the request to apply for Building Our Regions funding application through the Executive Management Team, once they have addressed the matter it will come back to the counsellors for adoption. “I think the word partnership is important and I’d like to say that with local Member for Hill Shane Knuth MP helping to source external funding to assist or correct the erosion issue at the Innisfail bowls club along with the council, it looks positive. “It’s not just a sporting complex or hub it’s also very much a social hub

now. They’ve got very strong support from backpacking fraternity, on a Friday night the facility is packed out. “The other important aspect is the club will celebrate their centenary in three years and they’re endeavouring to turn it into an all-weather complex via a cover over the Bowling Green,” Cr Nolan said. Innisfail Bowls Club Vice President Diana O’Brien said it would be a tragedy to lose the Bowls Club after all this time, “In 2012 the River Improvement Trust reported that since 2004 the 'erosion is now much worse’, The Geotech assessment in 2013 recommended 'reinforced retaining wall structures,' … With the celebration of our centenary in 2023, just four years away, it would be an unthinkable tragedy to lose our

club by allowing it to fall into the river,” Ms O’brien said. “The protection from sun and rain provided by a roof is not possible until the river bank is secured; this retaining wall is essential to achieve this goal. “The Member for Mulgrave, Curtis Pitt, lobbied on our behalf when we were part of his electorate and now we congratulate Shane Knuth, Member for Hill, on taking up our cause and his representations on their behalf. A letter of commitment from the CCRC is critical for this grant to be obtained,” Ms O’Brien said.

Tigers News with Shane Muriata WELL what a weekend of footy it turned out to be, almost to the point of throwing it all in and just eating pizza for the next two months such was the craziness of it. So let us start on Thursday night when I made my annual yearly pilgrimage to the sacred stadium of 1300SMILES (silly name for a stadium) to watch my 18th consecutive XXXX Qld Derby between the Cowboys and the Broncos. Well, besides getting the welcoming handshakes from half of Tully when I got there from the victorious Sally Chilcott-inspired Tully State High School team, who earlier in the day booked their plane tickets to Brisbane for the showdown to end all showdowns (I’ll get to that), it was another epic encounter for the two Qld sides to add to the list of cracker of games. After consuming eight chickens at the red bucket in Ingham, the game provided more dramas than Rafters does on a Friday night or Mobil after Rafters. Cowboys took the lead early thanks to some Tully magic from Banyans, Jarra Creek rep, Jake Clifford, but not to be outdone, the other Mt Tyson, Golden Gumboot, Rainy Daize, banana soldier, Thomas Flegler made sure he recognised him when he put a late hit on him. Both sides traded blows of mainly mistakes, mistakes and just more mistakes, making it

one of the ugliest games since State of Origin 3 in 2000, when some idiot thought it would be good to throw a grenade to celebrate. As the clock ticked away towards the end, and the Ringers from the north held onto a slender lead, I made the decision that it was time to make a clean get away to the car before fulltime so I didn’t have to be hassled on the way out for supporting Brisbane. But as I got up to leave, Joshua Henry said “Wait on, we have one more chance.” With that, with under one minute to go, young Turpin pinged his ears back , planting the ball over the try line and stole the game from the Cowboys, giving me a good reason to do my victory dance for all the norths faithful to see. As Kiarna Martin looked on in disgust, along with a few hundred Cowboys supporters behind me, I proudly took off my Tully Tigers Polo shirt as the siren sounded and revealed my Broncos training top to let all and sundry know that I was indeed a Jedi Knight from the galaxy of Bronx nation. So until next time, I cannot wait for the ensuing instalment of “In the Qld Derby, in the Bronx Cowboys Galaxy Far far away……………………………………. A big congratulations are in order for our Tully State High School Rugby League team for making the next stage of the State competition when they pummelled both the Rockhampton and Townsville side to book their plane ticket to Brisbane for the next round. The boys were all smiles when I caught up with them, looking and sounding excited by the next game that awaits. “I can’t wait, we get to go to Brisbane,” beamed one of the boys. Most of the players I have had the pleasure of coaching when many of them were in primary school, so it was extra special for

me to see them enjoying the moment. My nephew Nathan was so happy to see me, that the first question was, “Uncle, can I have $20?” Uncle, coach, friend, the lines have blurred in recent years, so I’ll take whatever connection and time I get to spend with a special bunch of people. Good luck guys. If you thought all that was full on, then by the time Saturday rolled around for the memorial game for Allan Reis and Cain Banu, the emotions were at fever pitch. I made a point of not talking too much on the day as this time last year I spent more time crying than anything, but it did not make any different as the jersey presentation was one of the highlights of the day. Seeing both family members present the jerseys was a special occasion before both games, and the Steven Morice speech was fitting to both men. The games themselves were a little on the down side in regards to the score line, with both our grades suffering heartbreaking losses. Reggie’s coach Steven Barrett was blunt when quizzed about his boys: “No intensity, and it showed. We can still make it, but now it’s out of our hands.” Head A-grade coach Tongy didn’t mince his words: “Got nothing to lose, so just going to try and play for our town and the jersey.” With all that aside, I want to personally thank Tully Rugby League and the Reis and Banu families for letting me play a role on the day that meant so much to you. To Essay, Isobel, Lulu, thank you for letting us celebrate Cain’s life. To Buck, Susan, Roy and family, it felt like I became a part of something that is dear to your lives, because Allan has made such an impact on my life. I will miss you guys every time a Tigers jersey is worn in your honour.

MANY boats took advantage of the decent run of weather and headed out to fish the main reefs. Most boats reported good catches of Coral Trout and Red Throat Emperor by fishing the reef shallows. Most boats also managed two or three Spanish Mackerel, caught by drifting live baits and ribbonfish along the reef drop offs. The spear fisherman also did well on these species with the added bonus of some Blue Tuskers and Crayfish. Those fishing the deep water shoals did well mostly on Nannygai although there were plenty of reports of the prized Red Emperor showing up as well. The shipping channel shoals fished well with good numbers of school sized Spanish Mackerel along with a few school and Spotted Mackerel. The Grass Sweet Lip were around in numbers along with the odd Coral Trout and legal-sized small mouth Nannygai. It is very disappointing to see the low numbers of spotty Mackerel showing up on our local grounds again this year. I have only heard of isolated big catches from the grounds east of the Barnard islands, and it seems that

Tropical Coast Veterans Golf Tropical Coast Veteran Golfers played a stableford round in wet conditions at Tully on 6th of August. The Ladies event was won by Julie Reed from Ingham on 34, with Rhonda Bliss (El Arish) as runner-up on 32, followed by Deb Giles (Ingham) on 31, Claire Bourke (Tully) on 29, Betty Favier (Tully) on 28, Bruna Quadrio and Sue Cameron from Ingham both on 27. Both Pin Shots were won by Julie Reed. The winner of the Men’s event was Bob Lloyd (Ingham) with 34 points followed by Bert Pajonk (Cardwell) on 33. Top of the rundown went to Ernie Gower (Tully) on 32, followed by G Grainger (Tully), M DeVries (SGA), M Harris (Tully) and W Bolton (El Arish). The Pin Shot was won by M DeVries. Cardwell Golf Club The weather was much kinder this week, with lovely sunny days and the course in great shape. On Thursday, six Ladies played the 18-hole stableford. Winner was Sneza Lazarus (35), second Arlie Robinson (32). NTP Christine Taylor and approach shot Jackie Olditch. John Hoare (19) won Sporters on a countback from Sneza Lazarus and Greg Smith, with the rundown, all on 18 points Geoff Reading, Reg Wright, Phil Wyatt and Ian Ingram. NTPs were won by Phil Pentecost, Kevin Brown and Rowly Mott. On Saturday, 18 teams took to the course to play in the Carucci Day 12hole four-person Ambrose. Thank you to the sponsors, R.E. Carucci Plumbing and Tradelink Mission Beach. Everyone got into the spirit. Winners were team ANRASS (Ross Paton, Reece Walton, Ashley Royal and Lloyd Brazier), second were Ongrels (Ian Buchell, Tracey Hennessy, Lou Virt and Shane Dorries), third Halfa (Phil Wyatt, Kev Martin, Bert Pajonk and Kevin Tombs) and tying for fourth were Bright Sparks (Patsy and Rob McMahon

the grounds east of Dunk island have not been producing good numbers. I think this is serious; they tell me that there are still big schools turning up in the central coast. We need an explanation: do they need to be a no-take in our area for a couple of years, or are climatic conditions causing our schools to go elsewhere. After saying that there has been reasonable numbers of School (doggy) Mackerel caught, but at this stage the huge schools of spotty Mackerel have not shown up now for about 3 years. Closer in around the islands, water clarity was not very good resulting in very few schools of pelagic fish. The school Mackerel have been around in reasonable numbers with the regulars from the caravan parks all mostly managing to catch a feed by drifting pilchard baits around the tide lines and bottom structure out from the mouth of the Hull river. The Spanish Mackerel have been around in good numbers, with spots such as Cathedral reef and Forty Foot all producing some very good fish. There have been a few Spaniards caught by trolling lures, but these bigger fish we catch inshore prefer either live baits or large trolled baits such as ribbon fish. It is also important to fish the hour before and after a tide change. Those who are bottom fishing or jigging have also done very well, mostly Coral Trout and Grass Sweet Lip. I did hear of some good

On Thursday, Ladies play an 18hole stableford, register 9:00am and Sporters 9-hole register by 12:45pm. Saturday will be a stableford, register by 10:30am. Tully Golf A great field of 55 golfers turned out in wonderful weather on Saturday for the annual Millini Panel, Paint and Towing Ambrose event. With the course in great shape thanks to greenskeeper Graham Sinton, the large field enjoyed great golf conditions which was reflected in the scoring. Winners on the day were Norm Gray, Wendy Holloway and John Pender who had a nett score of 60.33. Runners-up on the day by literally a fraction were Claire Bourke, Jim Boston and Mick De Vries on 60.66 nett. It was great to see the juniors out enjoying the competition as well on Saturday, with ”Team Millini”, consisting of Lachlan, Cody and Ryan Millini winning the junior prize. Nearest he pins were won by Audrey Gower, Kas Marshall and Betty Favier on hole 2/11 and Claire Bourke, Jim Boston and Mick De Vries on hole 7/16. The club would like to thank the many visitors who made the trip to play in a great day, but also wish to advise that they check their distance and club selection when playing an unfamiliar club. One unfortunate golfer who shall remain nameless showed poor club selection on the ninth hole and with a touch too much club, sent his ball sailing not only over the green, but over the clubhouse as well much to the amusement of his playing partners. This Saturday members and visitors will play for prizes donated by Tully

catches of big Grunter and the occasional Fingermark from the deep holes, drop offs and shell patches found in around the Family Group of Islands and Hinchinbrook area. Derek my manager took Thursday off and fished the Hinchinbrook channel, he found the fishing tough but did manage several Barra (only one legal) and five mangrove Jacks, mostly around the 35cm to 40 cm. mark. Obviously, water temperatures are not ideal. However, plan your trip for the later part of the day, water temperatures can be up by as much as three degrees. I am still hearing of catches of Bream, Whiting and Flathead coming from the estuaries, these fish should stay around for a couple more months. The mud crab numbers have dropped off, however those that are prepared to work their pots are still managing to bring home a couple of legal bucks for a feed. At the time of writing, which is very early in the week the forecast is for 15 to 20 knots of wind for the weekend. This forecast regularly changes as the week progresses but at this stage it looks like the fishing for most boats will be in the estuaries. Either side of the mid-morning high tide will be perfect to fish for grunter in the local creeks or in the Hinchinbrook area. Those wishing to fish for Barra and Jacks should try either side of the late afternoon low tide. It would also be worth fishing the creeks during the evening incoming tide.

Local Fighter Jack Mills Wins Gold

Jack Mills has added another medal to his collection after recently winning gold in boxing at the Glencore Great Western Games in Charters Towers

at Glencore Great Western Games MARIA GIRGENTI

LOCAL boxer Jack Mills has returned home with a gold medal after winning his bout by a split decision at the Glencore Great Western Games in Charters Towers. Mills, aged 14 fought in Under 15, 52kg age and weight bracket and went up against his opponent, Memphis Algie from Mackay in three rounds of one and half minutes. He had previously beaten his opponent earlier this year at the Northern Rumble event, held in Cairns and hosted by Do It Boxing, where he was also awarded Junior Fight of the Night trophy. Mills said the hard work he did with Clayton Cook at training is the reason why he had been able to maintain his current winning streak and bring home gold. The bout between both boys was tough and Mills landed some good combinations of punches he had learned from Cook and was able to drop his opponent to the canvas in the second round. After a hard-fought contest, the bout went to a split decision in favour of Mills by Brisbane officials. Last year, Mills fought in two bouts at North Queensland Games in Mackay and came home with a silver medal. This, the largest and longest running multi-sport event, is held biennially in north-west Queensland between Charters Towers and Mount Isa, and this year had

18 different sports over two weekends at various locations with some events running through July and August. Mount Isa hosted cycling, hockey, lawn bowls, pistol shooting, duathlon, mountain biking, dragon boating, trail run/walk, and motocross events, while Charters Towers hosted boxing, golf, athletics, karting and tennis, and other events were held in Richmond or Hughenden, which included the Porcupine Gorge Challenge and Stamford Foot Races. Prior to his fight, Mills put in the hard yards with intensive training five days per week at Fusion Fight and Fitness Innisfail gym, which requires lots of commitment and a very disciplined lifestyle. Mills especially wished to thank Cook for helping him gain a higher level of skill sets, which enabled him to compete at this higher level. He was also appreciative to Zap De Jong from Do It Boxing in Cairns and Rob Comer for their help with training, as well as all his sparring partners. He has now been selected by the organiser, Mount Isa Boxing, to compete in Queensland versus Northern Territory event at Mount Isa on September 21, so will start preparation and stepping up his training with Cook over the next few weeks.
