ONCE again, I am inspired. It is great to see the communities in the Cassowary Coast coming together to work on a different project to raise funds and awareness to cancer research. In Tully there

was Lope & Hope, and in Innisfail there was money raised through Daffodil day for the Cancer Council Queensland. Also, this weekend, Costas organized a car wash that raised $1500 for Tully Hospi-

tal. Sorry if you held a donation drive and I haven’t mentioned it. One of the most valuable things about living and working in a small community is learning the importance of community values. I have always respected organisations that understand the value of working in partnership with other organisations and showing the value to what others contribute to their community. When we all support each other, we all grow together, and when we pit ourselves in battle, then we all go down. Are you building trenches and drawing battle lines or are you looking at how you can support each other most effectively? I know I have said these types of things

before, but I think it is so important. The groups that exemplify the characteristics that I admire are the Rotary, Lions, Lionesses, QCWAs and organisations like this that show such great community spirit. In this week’s edition we do have articles on Lope & Hope and Daffodil day; which raise money for cancer research; and we have multiple features happening. We have an amazing team of people who are working hard. We have features to support suicide prevention, child protection week and we now have a gig guide that covers lots of great organisations and community groups and what they are doing to support our region.

urday morning, and there was a great turnout both in terms of volunteers and dirty cars. As usual, the region stepped up and over 100 people brought their cars in for a good old-fashioned hand cleaning by dozens of enthusiastic volunteers. By the time all the cars were cleaned, and all the sausages were consumed, the efforts had raised over $1500. There was a great energy on display as the washers made sure the cars got the quality cleaning they paid for, and although there was the occasional cloud early on, there was plenty of sunshine and warmth to keep spirits high over the course of the morning.

And on the other side of the transaction, Stonehouse told us many of the car owners came up with justifications to throw in an extra five or ten dollars. “Some people said we saved them having to drive to Innisfail to get their car washed; others said their car was particularly dirty, so $10 wasn’t enough.”

LOCAL AFFAIRS

Daffodil Day Raises Money for Cancer Council Queensland MARIA GIRGENTI VOLUNTEERS from Cancer Council Queensland Innisfail branch hit the main streets of Innisfail where they raised $3,945 for the Cancer Council Queensland through the sale of fresh daffodils, associated merchandise and donations on Daffodil Day. For the first time, volunteers had a table set up outside Babinda Bakery where $600 was raised and the branch especially wished to thank Annette from the bakery for this opportunity. Daffodil Day is one of Australia’s most popular fundraising events, and this year marks the 33rd year since it was established. The vibrant yellow daffodil represents hope and a continuing fight against cancer. Every donation helps fund world-class research into cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment options, and each year communities come together to support the vital work done by Cancer Council Queensland with all funds raised going towards research, support services, advocacy and prevention programs. Cancer patients living in the Cassowary Coast region can utilise the Marylyn Mayo Lodge in Cairns which assists patients and families while they are undergoing cancer treatment and also now has two cars to provide transport to and from hospitals. The Cancer Council Queensland lodge is one of six across the state and is only made possible through the support and fundraising efforts of their supporters. Over the past 20 years 61,000 Australian lives have been saved by improvements in cancer prevention, screening and treatment. Volunteers from the branch wished to thank the local community and businesses for their fantastic support of the work done by Cancer Council Queensland.

David Irwin bought a bunch of daffodils from Cancer Council Queensland Innisfail branch volunteer Maria Sabadini at their table outside Coles.

Lope & Hope for a Cure Raises $856 for Early Cancer Detection STORY + SEAN DENT IMAGES + JORDAN WICKS PHOTOGRAPHY THE North Queensland Western Performance Horse Club hosted their annual “Lope & Hope for a Cure” Horse show last weekend at the Tully Horse Performance Centre, Tully Gorge Road, Tully. While this annual event showcases competitors and their horses it is mostly about raising awareness about early detection for women’s cancer and raising funds so that one day, Cancer Council QLD can find a cure for this disease. According to Event Organiser and Show Manager, Rachel Longworth, “Lope & Hope for a Cure is registered as a PINK FUNDRAISER with Cancer Council QLD and donates a percentage of the nominations received (as well as other funds collected from cent sales and fun events) to support North Queensland woman affected by cancer.” She said this year they raised $856 which they hope will make a difference to research into curing this horrible dis-

ease. “This was achieved from a percentage of competitors show nominations, a cent sale held and drawn at the show as well as donations received during a fun non-horse-ridden event held on the Saturday night.” Over 50 horses competed from as far away as Clermont and Hughenden, making this the biggest that the club has hosted since 2014. “We also had quite a few local youth competitors this year as well, which was wonderful to see. We also had a few locals come and watch, however most spectators were friends or family members of competitors.” Longworth is hoping by getting coverage, it will not only encourage awareness of fundraising for the cause, but also awareness of this annual event, bringing out more spectators and raising more money. This was its sixth year. It was held the first three in Cairns, but now for the last three and future events,

it will be held at their home grounds at the Tully Horse Performance Centre. “The Tully Horse Performance Centre is the club’s home grounds

and it is an absolutely wonderful venue and continues to evolve and progress each year, so they are able to easily accommodate all of our horses and riders during this event.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

with Katriina Hyytinen Hello This week, Red-browed Finches (fire tail) made visits to my yard. I do love finches - so colourful - but not easy to photograph due their size and quick movement. Their size is between 11-12 cm. If you talk to older folk, they often say: "Years ago, we used to see flocks of finches all over the NORTH. Today one hardly sees them.” Our civilisation is destroying the habitat and not only birds but other animals. God gave us this beautiful planet, but our greediness is destroying it. I am old and soon I will be traveling to other side to be with my Lord, but I love to leave a heritage to my grandchildren. Following our history one can see that people haven’t learnt much. We still kill and destroy each other.. We use our money to make bigger and better guns When Jesus died on the cross, he did it for me and you so we could live peacefully loving God and each other. But we don’t want to listen Him. We know better. It’s so sad. Remember LOVE is the key for everything we do…. Love never ever destroys, It builds. Blessings to you all, Katriina

MALAYA AND BORNEO VETERANS’ DAY On Saturday 31 August 2019, Australia will remember all those who served in the Malayan Emergency (1948–1960) and the Indonesian Confrontation, or Konfrontasi, (1962–1966). In June 1948, after the Malayan Communist Party launched an insurgency against British colonial rule, a state of emergency was declared in Malaya. Australia’s involvement in the Emergency started in 1950, when aircraft and personnel from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) arrived in Singapore. The Emergency officially ended in 1960, however, Australian forces continued operations against communist forces until 1963. Personnel from the Navy, Army, and RAAF played a vital role in Malaya. Australia’s involvement in the Malayan Emergency was one of the nation’s longest continuing military commitments and tragically, the names of 39 Australians are listed on the Australian War Memorial’s Roll of Honour. The Indonesian Confrontation began in 1962 when Indonesian-backed forces launched a coup against the pro-British Sultanate of Brunei. Australian involvement started in 1964 and, in 1965, along with other Commonwealth troops, they conducted small-scale op-

erations in the thickly forested terrain of Borneo. As an undeclared war, there were sensitivities around the cross-border operations and it received very little coverage in the Australian press, however, the experiences in the Confrontation informed the conduct of operations in Vietnam. More than 20 Australians died during the Confrontation. Open Arms – Veterans and Families Counselling, provides support for current and ex-serving ADF personnel and their families. Free and confidential help is available 24/7. Phone 1800 011 046 (international: +61 1800 011 046 or +61 8 8241 4546) or visit www.OpenArms.gov.au While these two post-Second World War conflicts might not be well-known in the Australian community, the nation is grateful for the actions of those who served. Thank you for your service, and for the sacrifices made by your families who supported you. On Malaya and Borneo Veterans’ Day, I encourage all Australians to reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who served in the Malayan Emergency and Indonesian Confrontation. Lest we forget. Darren Chester MP Minister for Veterans and Defence Personnel

Australian Anti Ice Campaign:There is a Way Out SEAN DENT IN OUR second instalment of this series, we told the story of Andre’a Simmons descent into hell. I got a glimpse into that hell as she spoke to me. In my career, this was the only interview I’ve ever done where someone was on the verge of tears and I was close to joining them. She was pretty composed up till the point she talked about eight-year-old addicts, then she started to lose it. We left off last week with her heading to her mum’s home where she felt safe enough to keep her commitment to never do Ice again. She told us there were times when she stood on the balcony with ideas of suicide because she hated what she’d done to herself and saw it as the only way out. Instead, she wrote in a journal and started to form the plan for what she wanted to do with

the rest of her life to make amends to herself. Ice is a community problem. There’s no one single person out there with a solution. Drug problems have confounded countries all around the world for years. Harsher penalties didn’t work in the US, but that’s what many Australians are calling for, probably because it’s easier to just blurt out a solution and get on with our lives. I’ve heard other solutions. Maybe they could send an undercover cop out to Innisfail to “hook up with some gear” and then arrest the dealer. Wash, rinse, repeat until all the dealers are gone. The truth is, that dealer would be replaced by another dealer by the following weekend. Maybe the government could find every last meth kitchen in the country. It still wouldn’t close the industry. The street price of Ice in China is miniscule compared to Australia, so they love to export it

here where they can make a ton of money. “Cutting off the source is next to impossible,” said Simmons. “We need to go to the top of the waterfall.” By that she means education. The Australian Anti Ice Campaign came up with a plan: get into the schools with people like Esther Deganin, and talk to the kids. Deganin is a 28-year-old mother of two. She became an Ice addict when she was 12-years-old. She actually gave birth while she was an addict. In her telling of her story, she never considered herself addict material. “The mind tells you what you need to hear in order to take the first step and every step after that. You think you’re making decisions, but you’re not.” As far as she was concerned, she was too smart to ever have a drug problem. It was purely recreational, and it wasn’t like she was using a needle. Some-

decided to send addicts into the schools because no kid wants a lecture from a cop or a teacher or a parent. “They wouldn’t listen to them.” People like Deganin have been through the wringer, and I was in the auditorium when she spoke to high school kids in Innisfail. They did listen to her. They asked her questions. Some went up to her at the end to talk about their experiences. She told me lots of them communicated to her with their eyes as she spoke. Hopefully, some of them will be among the lucky ones and never start. But what if they do? It’s so cheap, so easy to get, so socially acceptable among their peers, what if they try it just that one time? What if someone says, “You trust me, right?” This is where the story becomes somewhat negative, somewhat positive. On the negative side, once Ice gets into

times, people start taking Ice without even knowing it’s Ice. Maybe it’s a pill someone gives them, or they lace marijuana with Ice. As we said in the first instalment, Ice destroys the dopamine receptors in your brain after a very few tries, maybe even one or two. Once those receptors stopped working, Deganin couldn’t get high anymore. “I was doing hits of Ice just to feel normal, like everyone else feels just by waking up in the morning. I literally took hits of Ice to get the energy I needed to take a shower.” There are no pretty Ice stories, but when Deganin goes around to the schools in FNQ, she tells it to the kids straight. “There were good times on Ice,” she’ll tell them. “I’m not going to tell you every minute of every day is hell.” The kids respect this approach and it engages their trust. Simmons told us they

THIS weekend, The Chamber of Commerce is hosting an Art Deco weekend with Breakfast on Butler. Breakfast will be available to purchase from The Flame Tree Coffee Lounge and Petals & Beans. Both are excellent locations to dine in or you can take your grub over to Violet Smith Park and enjoy the Jazz music. To help you get a full understanding of what is going on in terms of Art Deco in the area, earlier this year, a free app was released on both Android and iPhone platforms called Tropical Art Deco, a virtual reality tour that takes you back to the 1920s and explores the hidden tales behind the Art Deco and historical buildings of interest in both Tully and Innisfail. The app invites you to “explore the history and take in the beauty of the region, rich in natural assets, positioned where the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Rainforest meet. This is a self-guided location-based storytelling tool that gives technical details on decorative architecture as well the history of how Art Deco was built from tragedy.” It hasn’t been downloaded all that much, but don’t let that dis-

courage you. It’s an excellent app with interesting stories from our history. You can also follow the various signs posted around the area that give you the history of certain buildings. Also on the menu this weekend, the Classic & Vintage cars will be on display in Butler Street. At noon stroll on down to the Golden Gumboot and be part of the Community Shirt Photo Shoot. There will be food and drinks for sale, with the barbecue being manned by the Tully 4854 Looking Forward Group. Take this opportunity to be part of History in Tully. On Saturday night there will be a family movie showing at the Tully State High School MPC, with doors opening at 6:00pm. Tully Rugby League is catering with a Barbecue and the High School Students will be selling drinks, chocolates & popcorn. The movie will be How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, which scored 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and has already sold over $750 million worth of tickets worldwide. According to the hosts, Tully & District Chamber of Commerce & The Tully Support centre, if supported by the community, more movie nights will be held on a regular basis.

On the plus side, you can reach out for help. You won’t get in trouble with the police. Simmons told us that rehab is available and that there are facilities that will essentially take just a portion of your Centrelink payment, the implication being you will not be working in a job for a while.

there would be plenty of additional consultation on the matter with Cardwell residents prior to any action being taken. Cr. Ben Heath provided his public apology for the two counts of misconduct he was recently found guilty of by the Councillor Conduct Tribunal. Council also confirmed that it had received several submissions to manage/ lease the Dunk Island Spit. Staff were undertaking due diligence on the applicants, and in particular their ability to actually deliver their proposals. On the topic of Dunk Island, Council indicated that it was currently unaware of any sale or unconditional contract of the resort land. Council Dodges Questions on Legal Costs (THE FACTS) In response to CCIN queries on Cassowary Coast Regional Council’s skyrocketing legal expenses over the past 2 years, Council issued on Friday a media response published as an advertisement in both The Innisfail Advocate and this paper entitled, THE FACTS. It also went on their Facebook page. Unfortunately it contained

few relevant facts and dodged all the substantive questions that had been asked by CCIN of Council. Mayor Kremastos has instead elected to duck the fundamental issues and gloss over legitimate public concerns via an advertisement presumably paid for by ratepayers. It’s a strange political move not to be transparent with the public, simply ensuring this issue continues to slow burn through to the March Council elections. CCIN had attempted to give Council the opportunity to clear the air given the widespread gossip and innuendo on social media alleging that Council has expended well over $1.5m of ratepayer monies in relation to legal cases connected to the Council Chief Executive Officer’s 2017-defamation action against a Cassowary Coast couple. These also include vexatious litigant and bankruptcy claims. The Couple have been accused of defaming the CEO in multiple emails and phone calls because they were unhappy with a Council investigation. Council has spent $126,000 on legals in the first month of this financial

year alone, plus $770,000 the previous 2018/2019 year, in just the CEO’s department. Total legal expense for the whole of Council was also $801,480 in 2017/18. This compares with just $469,712 (2016/17) and only $146,136 the year before. It appears more than a coincidence that legal costs began to escalate not long after the CEO launched his defamation claim. Council points out that it incurs legal costs on a range of matters. Hence CCIN’s request for clarification from Council. It’s hard to understand why, if Council is so sure that its funding of these cases is all above board and the level of spending justified, it doesn’t simply come clean and tell ratepayers how much these defamation related actions are actually costing us? The Couple have provided a statement to CCIN that they have no objection to the quantum of costs being released, so it is clear that it is only our Council electing to have the costs sum remain hidden. Is it good enough to say that, “Council’s insurers may reimburse Council’s costs”? Ratepayers seek a clear statement that these

types of outlays will be legitimate claims against their policy and the insurer is, and should, actually pay them. It is also difficult to comprehend how this matter has dragged on for so long? Again CCIN has been provided with a statement from the Couple alleging that in regards to the defamation matter there has been no approach from the CEO, his legal team, the Council or its representatives in respect to any mediation to settle the case. If this is correct it is extraordinary that ratepayer funds are being spent without any apparent attempt to resolve the matter without expensive legal action. This alleged lack of mediation was also put directly to Council by CCIN, but Council’s, THE FACTS response also ignored this. THE FACTS also failed to address CCIN’s questions regarding the level of information provided to councillors prior to their vote to fund these actions. For example, were they given a budget of the likely costs? Did they receive any independent legal advice? Again, it would have been simple for Council to confirm that such ele-

mentary information was indeed given to councillors, so that ratepayers can be confident they voted to commit ratepayer funds fully informed. But THE FACTS makes no mention that any of this basic information was provided. Instead ratepayers get words like having to “protect ratepayer funds.”, without providing any evidence of, or explaining what ratepayer funds are possibly at risk? Assurances that the CEO won’t personally receive any financial benefit, with any damages to be assigned to Council, are of little comfort to ratepayers given the size of the accompanying legal bill coupled with the couple’s claim they have no assets; so any financial award or recovery of costs is likely to be token. No one is suggesting that employees should not be protected. When spending substantial outlays of public money it’s a matter of proportionality, let alone how much time the CEO and staff are spending on this exercise rather than running the Council. CCIN will continue to research this whole sorry saga…stay tuned.

THE FACTS

DECO

31 31 August August 2019 2019

There’s been a lot of misinformation floating around in the community and, up until now, Council has not been in a position to speak publicly. We have received advice from our insurers and can now set the record straight. Council does not believe it is appropriate to comment on cases which are the subject of ongoing legal proceedings. However, Council can advise that it is obliged, the same as any organisation, to indemnify its Councillors and Officers for claims against them arising out of their employment or election.

BREAKFAST ON BUTLER 8am til 10am on Butler Street, Tully Food can be purchased at Petals & Beanz, and The Flametree Coffee Lounge. Breakfast will be served in store, or delivered to Violet Smith Park.

Legal expenditure goes towards debt recoveries, contractual matters, town planning matters, advice on land dealings and regulatory matters, amongst many others. Council’s total legal expenditure for 2018/19 was $963,486.86 and $145,978.83 has been expended thus far for the current financial year.

VINTAGE & CLASSIC CAR MEET From 8:30am on Butler Street, Tully View some of the region’s best classic and vintage cars.

Council expects to reduce that amount as a result of costs orders that were awarded against the other parties exceeding $250,000.00.

LIVE JAZZ Enjoy fine jazz performed live just for you!

Council abides by the model litigant principles which includes firmly defending any claims which have no merit to protect ratepayers’ funds. Further, Council holds appropriate insurance covers, and claims have been lodged and are being processed under those covers to mitigate risk to Council and further reduce bottom line legal costs expenditure for 2018/19 and the current financial year. In appropriate circumstances, Council’s insurers may reimburse Council’s costs and then make their own arrangements to pursue parties who owe costs to Council.

With respect to specific community concerns, Council has indemnified CEO Mr Gott in one proceeding whereby the entirety of any damages and/or interest and/or costs recovered in that proceeding will be provided to the Council. That is to say Mr Gott will not derive any financial benefit from that legal action.

GARDENING IN PARADISE

JENNY’S TROPICAL GARDENING

August 2019

Frog and Roses.

Ixoras and Ulysses.

Lorikeet and Bubba.

WHAT a fantastic lot of flowers and edibles we are growing so well now, with our cooler days and night and some rain! I really love this time of year and find there is nothing better than going out to the garden to pick much of the food we will be eating that day. I also grow many herbs which can be chopped and put into small plastic containers with lids, topped with water and frozen to be thawed whenever needed. If I am using these in an uncooked meal, I thaw what I need in a wire basket to allow the water to drain as it thaws. If I am using them in a cooked meal, I simply pop them into the meal while it is cooking. There are also many vegetables which can be blanched and frozen or made into a base for adding later to a meat or chicken dish and kept in the freezer till needed. We need to encourage birds, bees, dragonflies and butterflies into our gardens as many of these will help to get rid of pests and butterflies are so beautiful and need flowers with pollen they enjoy and certain plants on which to lay their eggs and feed the caterpillars when they hatch. Always try to identify caterpillars and please don’t think they are all pests, as most will only eat leaves for a short time and gorgeous, gardener-friendly butterflies will hatch later. The plants that have leaves eaten by these caterpillars usually produce new leaves quickly and show more vigorous growth. Keep some shallow bowls of water in shady spots and put small, flat stones in them so butterflies, dragonflies and bees can gain safe access to them....refresh the water daily. Dragonflies love to be near water and will hover over ponds or containers of water to have a drink, and they eat many insect pests each day. I have good sized round plastic containers and large terracotta pots that I fill with water and grow waterlilies and lotus in, and the small birds, frogs, bees and butterflies love to sit on the waterlily leaves, which float on top of the water, to have a drink. Nectar-feeding birds, butterflies and bees love the flowers of trees and plants such as Golden Penda, Tea trees, Callistemon, Gums, Wattle, and Melicope Elleryana and other natives, and they are good to plant if you wish to attract them. Butterflies also love the pollen of the Ixora flowers, Pentas, old-fashioned Hibiscus and others, so plant a nice selection of these. The Cairns Birdwing butterflies need the native Dutchman’s Pipe vine for their caterpillars to eat so please plant these also. Bees also are attracted to the pollen from Basil flowers, Darwin Hibiscus (Hibertia) , Portulacas,Palms, Sunflowers, Waterlilies, Allysum, Marigolds, Daisies and more, so while you are encouraging natural pest control in your garden, you are also beautifying your own special place. To prevent accidentally killing our beneficial insects, it is wise to avoid using chemical sprays for other problematic pests, it is best to use natural pest control products and I can advise the ones that are appropriate if you call in to see me at Mitre 10 Garden Centre on the mornings of Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Many Tropical fruit trees such as Longans, Lychees and Avocadoes are now flowering and these need the bees to pollinate them and give us the delicious fruits!

Phalenopsis Orchids are such a fabulous orchid to grow and they can be encouraged to produce more than one spray of flowers off each stem, thus flowering for a long period, so they are good value. They like to be planted in a free-draining mix (I use quincan rock) and love a bright, warm position out of direct sunlight. They appreciate high humidity and I find this easy to create by placing a few cms of crusher rock on the floor of the orchid house. They require regular watering, and love to be fertilised with the orchid bloom booster which is made by Manutec, and is available at Mitre 10. Leave the stems on after flowers have finished, as long as the stems are still green, and more flowers will soon emerge from them. Sometimes you will even be lucky enough to have a new plant emerge. Until next month, Enjoy gardening,

Jenny.

Queensland Child Protection Week 1-7 September 2019

CHILD Protection week runs from the 1st – 7th of September and the focus of this year’s Queensland campaign is Protecting Children is everybody’s business. Child Protection Week in Queensland is coordinated by the Child Protection Week Committee under the auspicing body of ACT for Kids. In other states NAPCAN runs National Child Protection Week. This year the Tully Support Centre (TSC) is helping to raise awareness that all adults have a responsibility in keeping children safe from harm. This year the TSC is partnering with Cardwell UFO

festival committee to invite you to a morning of arts and craft at the Cardwell jetty on Sunday the 8th of September from 8:00am1:00pm. The underlying theme of this year’s event is that everyone can lend a hand by being aware, speaking up and protecting and nurturing our young people to grow into strong, compassionate and capable adults. To that end the TSC and the UFO festival committee will be creating a banner for community members to add their hands to and other fun kids’ activities. We will

also be doing face painting for $2 per turn. If you have any concerns about a child in our community you can contact the Far North Queensland Regional Child Safety Intake service on 1300 684 062. Alternatively, if you would like to make contact with your local Family and Child Connect service you can call 13FAMILY (13 32 64) and be referred to the closest office. For the complete list of key messages from this year’s campaign or for more information on this year’s Child Safety Week or information about Child Protection in our community go to www. childprotectionweek.org.au

Cassowary Coast Statistics WE have around 130 kids in care who are in differing levels of intervention. About 97 of these are on orders and placed in Foster Care, with 29 placed in the home. Our largest cohorts are in 10 – 15 age of which there 51, with

39 in the 4 – 10 age group. 75 are Aboriginal or Aboriginal& Torres Strait Islander And 73 are male. Currently we have 45 foster carers on the books and need more!

Seeking help as a parent? IN 1994 I was a brand new mum who had no idea what she was doing. I was living in a regional town in Queensland with no family close by for support. There were no mummy blogs to turn to, no internet community to ask for advice. When I asked for help from my GP he told me to put the baby to sleep in a room far enough away from me so I could sleep uninterrupted because every sound my baby made woke me up, even the beautiful little snuffles babies make in their sleep. I sought support from every avenue I could think of but I could not find any programs to help new parents.

In 1999 when I was tearing my hair out with three children under six, one child with school refusal and one toddler who refused to sleep and would literally climb the curtains to the top when my back was turned I was not able to access help or support. Fast forward to 2005 when I was working for Child Safety. There were so many families I investigated to see if their children were safe who just needed the kind of help I had needed. I would call the services who could help them but the reply would be “Sorry, they don’t live in our catchment area.” Queensland has thankfully

changed their approach to keeping children safe. There are now many programs that are funded to support parents and families across the state. The government has funded Family and Child Connect (FACC) services to connect parents who need help with professionals who can assist them to access services, programs and parenting courses. There are services that work with child care providers to assist parents to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme for children who are identified as having a disability. These same services help parents with behaviour management strategies and parenting techniques.

WHEN you lose someone you love and care about it is a difficult experience to live through. When it happens by suicide, you might ask yourself what you could do to see if you can assist with suicide prevention. In a recent Lifeline email campaign, indicated research shows that connecting with people in crisis and being there with them in their dark moments makes a life-saving difference. “Just remember it’s everyone’s business,” said Ruth Crouch. “Lifeline & the doctor of the Koch foundation run training in suicide prevention that tells you what to look for and how to respond.” Kurrimine resident, Crouch experienced suicide firsthand. Her son went missing, and this led to a nationwide search. Sadly, after three months her son was found in the mangroves behind their house in Cairns, having killed himself. This experience has led Crouch to be a strong advocate for suicide prevention. Unfortunately, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that Queensland has experienced an overall increase in suicide deaths from 2016 to 2017, with rates increasing from 13.9 to 16.3 deaths per 100,000 persons. Lifeline Australia’s most recent statistics indicate that the suicide has reached a ten-year high, which mean that just yesterday we lost eight lives to suicide, today we will lose eight more and tomorrow we will lose another eight more. Crouch has conceded that she wasn’t aware of the signs of suicide in her son and wants to ensure that others are aware of the signs. To assist, you are able to purchase pins in Innisfail from Cassowary Chiropractic, Rebel Café and Empire Café. In Tully from

Canecutters Mitre 10, Boutique Maree and the Community Centre. In Mission Beach at Bingle Bay café, Mission Beach Mini Mart and Tobacconist Wongaling Beach. If there’s a statistic to offer hope, it’s this: A study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry found that, “Nine of out ten people who attempt suicide and survive, do not go on to complete suicide at a later date.” Learn the warning signs. If you need help call Lifeline on 13 11 14. If you are a young person who is feeling distressed visit www.headspace.org.au or www.reachout.com or ring KidsHelpline on 1800 55 1800. There is a Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467.

CORES

Qld

Community Response to Eliminating Suicide THE CORES one-day suicide intervention training teaches community members how to identify the early warning signs of someone who may be at risk of self harm or suicide. People are also taught what steps to take once they have identified the person at risk, including how to utilise all available resources. The course is a very user friendly, practical, interactive day and people do not need any special skills to complete the training successfully. The aim is to be pro-active and reach people at risk before they reach a crisis point. Research has proven that early intervention works. CORES

members provide that crucial link between people at risk and the health professionals. The people trained are not there to solve the problems of the person at risk. Their role is to recognise the warning signs and connect the person at risk to the services and back into their community. The more skilled people out in the community, the less chance there is of someone at risk not receiving the appropriate help. This “Gatekeeper Training” model forms part of the strategies communities can use to tackle suicide. You will also learn that as family and friends there are many things we can all do to help our loved ones.

CORES Qld currently has programs in Burdekin, Hinchinbrook, Innisfail, Townsville, McKinlay/Cloncurry, Charters Towers and the Whitsundays. Over 2500 people have been trained in Queensland with – on average – every fourth person trained having used their skills to help a person at risk. This model – working from the ground up – builds strength and resilience through the networks of everyday people empowered with the skills to help. The benefits to the community live on through the locals who have been trained. Many of you have completed first aid training just in case

you need those skills one day. The CORES one-day training is exactly the same. You may some day need the skills we can teach you. If you are interested in attending a one-day course or you want to find out more about CORES Qld contact, Ross Romeo, CORES Qld Co-ordinator and Counsellor 0427 455 313.

GIG GUIDE W h at s h a p p e n i n g C a s s o wa r y c o a s t

Gigs

& Interests By Mel Bowman-Finn

WE have trivia nights, karaoke, pool comps, movies, sports, live music, DJ’s, card games, Cars ‘n’ Coffee, poetry, festivals and more. All in the neat little package that is the Cassowary Coast. I went to a few jives myself and was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of our region’s entertainment. During an evening featuring out-of-town muso, Tessa Devine, I explored a quality of sound and live music that was pure beauty to my ears. On another night, I found myself in a crowd of

over one hundred people singing in the best unison they could muster at a pub choir. It was so well organized, orchestrated and vibrant, I walked away knowing I was part of something bigger. Art deco parties were at their finest, while club style events and jam nights also brought people that sense of togetherness we all so well deserve. Where did you go? What made it special? Don’t hesitate to let me know by writing me on news@ccin.com.au

MISSION BEACH COMMUNITY CASSOWARY FESTIVAL Saturday 21st Sept 2019

MEL BOWMAN-FINN MARK the date in your calendar, the first Saturday of the school holidays, the 21st of September, for a festival worth its weight for our region in the name of cassowary awareness. These days, progress isn’t considered progress unless our climate and environmental impact is taken into account. With that in mind, this Mission Beach Community Cassowary Festival aims to raise funds of $7000 to ensure the ‘Cassowary Corridor Mapping’ is complete. In doing so, we are helping to enable protection for the amazing cassowary, and in turn these wet tropics environment that we have learned to value so much. Come along, bring the family. Many environmental groups will be on board for an informative display: a great program of kid’s activities in the Stripeys’ Tent, art installations, a friendly array of local musicians; Coral Coast Collective, Cedar Vines, Pauly P, Penny Bell, Doc and John Brown for all our entertainment, Mission Arts artist displays, belly dancing, food stalls and more. To start proceedings groups, individuals, adults and children are invited to meet in the Village Green Mission Beach by 9:30am to launch the day with the parade, The Drumming of the Cassowary. Dress in costume, cassowary colours or anything that displays our natural envi-

ronment. Prizes are to be won for best cassowary costume. This parade is taking to the streets in the name of cassowary conservation, leading up the road to the central stage of the festival where the market stalls are situated and the entertainment begins. With this festival being the only one scheduled for Mission Beach this year, be sure to give it your all in the name of togetherness for our natural surroundings.

A Buskers Note MEL BOWMAN-FINN

RECENTLY it has come to my attention the role of buskers amongst a village. A friend noted that when she was on holiday elsewhere recently, there seemed to be a stream of music that defined her and her husbands’ journey. At markets, upon the street, there was always a song to mark the occasion, and of course, a character behind that song. When she heard the beautiful chime of ‘Halleluiah’ for a second time, it uplifted her. Only to be told by the cab driver that he has heard it a million times from the very same person, maybe a little much for his liking. I decided to make some enquiries about busking in our region. Contrary to some belief out there that it is illegal here, it is not. Just as anywhere it has a few regulations to keep us all happy. So let’s say busking is a sure thing. If you go to the CCRC website you will find you can apply using the ‘Application Commercial Activity

on a Road’ – Busking, soliciting and touting. There is no fee, but insurance is needed. Grab your permit. One of the requirements is that the busker seeks permission from the shops they choose to busk in front of. This is only to avoid the council being called regarding what may be termed nuisance style music. The thing is, we have different tastes, so be sure to bring yours to a place where it’s welcome. As for shop owners, bear in mind. You may hear it a few times over, but the visitor only hears it once. That moment is defined for them. Music brings beauty, laughter and emotion, which in turn brings a memory to that very spot. Do you want your shop and your town to be remembered in its many colours? When a friendly busker asks your permission, give them a chance. Make a deal as to the frequency, letting us walk and dance to the tunes of our fellow musos and the character of the town for which we are so proud.

WHETHER you are a frequent arty visitor, a tourist, or possibly a resident who has never been before, this weekend and for the coming weeks after, is a great time to visit Mission Arts. Patrons can expect a spectacular event, showcasing a whopping 70 works of art from 44 Cassowary Coast, Cairns, and Tablelands artists. The 2019 Mission Arts Awards & Exhibition Gala Opening Night, will be held this Saturday, August 31, starting at 6:00pm. Artists are in the running for $2900 in prize money, participating in nine Award Categories. This is considered an event to remember in the Cassowary Coast Region. A Mission Arts’ representative said, “Your attendance and support at this ticketed fundraising gala event enables us to continue to grow vibrant creative opportunities for our area’s artists, our community arts organisation, and our valuable community partners/sponsors. Thank you for supporting the arts.” An auction will take place for a stunning collaborative painting titled, Floral Tropicana (pictured), featuring iconic flowers of North Queensland created by the brushstrokes of over 100 local community members. With delicious finger food prepared by foodie-favourite The Queens Hotel Innisfail, raffles, and a cash bar, it’s sure to be a wonderful night for the arts.

The following Sunday morning at 10:00am there is an informal judges’ critique for anyone who would like to attend and of course, in the weeks after the gala event, be sure to visit the exhibition, which will remain hanging until October 23. Entry to the gallery is free of charge daily.

Day two of Road Safety Week, Speeding:

By exceeding the speed limit you are increasing the time it takes for you to stop, and therefore increasing your risk of serious injury or death. The consequences of driving faster can have huge impacts, not just on the victims of road crashes but also the families, friends and the emergency service workers who attend the crashes. Road safety reminders: • Regularly check your speed when driving; • Always drive to the conditions – if weather and/or road conditions are poor, slow down; • Don’t follow too closely – leave a two-second gap and increase the gap in poor conditions.

Day one of road safety week, Seatbelts

As the driver of a vehicle, you are responsible to ensure everyone in your car is buckled up. Seatbelts can prevent long term injuries if you are involved in a crash. Wearing a properly adjusted seatbelt reduces the risk of serious injury or death by 50 per cent. You need to ensure children are in suitable restraints for their age and they are prop-

RURAL REPORT

OPPORTUNITIES FOR AUSTRALIA

While there are other more compelling prospects for Australian grain in South East Asia, strong population and consumption growth could represent opportunities for increased Australian wheat and barley exports to the Philippines. Recommendations: 1. Provide education and technical services to stimulate and support demand for Australian wheat for wheatbased food products in the Philippines. Australian wheat exports to the Philippines are used almost exclusively for animal feed. The Philippine milling industry is currently undergoing structural change, with new mills looking to purchase market share and older mills exploring diversification options. As the market is currently in a state of transition, mills may become more amenable to education and

technical services from the Australian industry. Australia produces wheat that performs well for noodle snacks, instant noodles, and cakes and biscuits. So, despite the dominance of the US wheat in food products, there is opportunity for Australian wheat in the food market. 2. Provide education and technical services to stimulate and support demand for Australian barley and other grains in animal feed rations in the Philippines. Providing technical assistance to Philippine feed users could increase awareness of the advantages of feed barley and other

Australian feed grains. Other grains, particularly lupins, have functional advantages in aquaculture feeds and these opportunities may be worth developing. While these grains are comparative-

ly niche, building awareness and supporting their use in the Philippine aquaculture feed industry may allow Australian farmers to participate to a greater degree in this expanding market.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Then and Now Project - Tully State High School SHARON MARTIN, Tully State High School

WE HAD an excellent morning tea at the Tully Library last Wednesday for the official opening of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then and Now Projectâ&#x20AC;? exhibition and to celebrate Seniors' Week. This is a unique photographic exhibition that brings together the residents of the Tully Nursing Home and Year 10 student artists from Tully State High School in a special collaboration: stories shared from past and present, photographs taken and friendships formed. About 35 people attended and the beautiful morning tea was provided by students from the cater-

ing department at Tully State High School. The photos will be on show until the middle of next week. The students have been visiting the home for the past few months meeting and getting to know each resident and photographing their hands. We believe that our hands have a story to tell and are a map of our lives. The artworks and the artist statements bring to public attention the contributions made to the Cassowary Coast region by the people who now reside at the home. The photographs will be given to each resident at the conclusion of the library exhibition.

Award Winning Illustrator Visits Goondi State School MARIA GIRGENTI AWARD winning Australian children's book illustrator, Craig Smith recently visited the region and held a series of drawing workshops with Goondi State School Years 3 - 6 students. Smith has spent the past five months in Darwin where he has been working on a project involving mentoring unpublished authors and artists aged between 19 and 59 from indigenous and diverse cultural backgrounds. This project, which has been driven by his partner Erica Wagner, and Johanna Bell has been hugely successful with the prospect of several people being published over the next few years. He has illustrated 404 children's books in Australia over 43 years and said people of his generation have rode the waves of growth in the industry, which is now a lot bigger and highly competitive. In 2017, Smith and author Diane Jackson Hill won the Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children's Literature Picture Fiction category for the book Chooks in Dinner Suits - a tale of Big Dogs and Little Penguins about the Middle Island Maremma Project. He also ran master class drawing workshops with students at Mena Creek State School, as well as schools

Mourilyan State School Hosts Prep Open Day MARIA GIRGENTI MOURILYAN State School recently held a Prep Open Day where next year's new Preps and their families enjoyed a morning of fun and educational activities. Children took part in playbased activities such as colouring in, painting, arts and crafts, water fun, play dough, dress up, puzzles, sand pit, exploring the playground and also met Prep teacher, Emily Enright. This Open Day kicked off the school's Sail Into Prep Pre-Prep program which is designed to cater for the needs of students who will be starting Prep in 2020 to create a smoother progression from home to school.

Sail Into Prep, which starts on Tuesday, September 3 will be held every Tuesday morning from 9:00am - 11:00am and runs for eight weeks (excluding October 8). This program will be run by the Prep teacher and a teacher aide where children will participate in activities aimed at developing Prep readiness skills, as well as familiarising them with Prep routines and learning activities. It is aimed at making the transition to Prep easier and smoother for students and their families. It will enable children to become familiar with teachers and the classroom before coming to school, participate in Prep routines and transitions they will encounter when they start Prep.

They will also get to know other children who will be in their class next year, visit the Library and become familiar with the school environment, as well as participate in age appropriate learning activities. Parents and guardians must be in attendance for all sessions, and children will need sun-safe play clothes, enclosed shoes, broad brimmed hat, water bottle and a piece of fruit for Munch and Crunch. Anyone intending to enrol Prep students for 2020 need to contact Mourilyan State School Prep classroom on 4063 2206 or via email: the. principal@mourilyass.eq.edu. au to arrange an enrolment interview with the Prep teacher and secure a place.

Lids4Kids Kicks off on Cassowary Coast

MARIA GIRGENTI

A NEW recycling and humanitarian project called Lids4Kids has recently kicked off across the Cassowary Coast and in only a short time has already gained momentum. Lids4Kids founder is Tim Miller, an amazing Dad from Canberra who realised lids (bottle caps) were going to landfill so he did some internet research and discovered Envision. Envision is an Australian not-for-profit group in Victoria that trains disadvantaged people to use 3D printers to make mobility aids for children who are amputees. The Miller family launched the Lids 4 Kids project, where they partnered with local hospitality businesses to collect lids

from their own operations, as well as acting as a collection point for local residents. These lids are transported to Envision Hands warehouse in Melbourne for further processing where they are then cleaned and sorted into colours, before being shredded and fed through an extruder with 500 lids needed to make one prosthetic hand. When the shredded lids are fed through the extruder, this creates an ink-like filament which can be used in 3D printing to produce highly coloured prosthetics which are then sent overseas to children in need across a number of developing countries. The first limb went to a boy hospitalised in India which changed his life and his family were over the moon.

Joyce Giddins decided to get involved after she saw the project on Facebook and thought it would be a great idea as it was an excellent way to get schools and community groups in the region involved with recycling while also supporting a worthwhile cause. The lids are then taken by Giddins to Candy Porter, North Queensland Lids4Kids coordinator who arranges transport to Melbourne. Giddins put her hand up as the volunteer Innisfail and District coordinator to help collect lids for this project while Cathy Cavallaro-Chaffey is the coordinator for the southern towns of Mission Beach, Tully and Cardwell. "We are encouraging any businesses to collect clean plas-

Page 20 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, August 29, 2019

tic lids from milk/UHT, soft drink, juice and water bottles in their staff rooms which can then be dropped off at one of the many collection points," said Giddins. The number of public collection points across the region are growing, but more are always welcomed with the main collection point being Larsen's Newsxpress, Innisfail. Other collection points include: Innisfail and surrounds Innisfail State School Empire Cafe and Catering Fix my Stuff Goodstart Early Learning South Innisfail Felicia's Little Learner's Family Daycare MAMS Recycling Depot,

Cardwell Cardwell Early Learning Centre Hinchinbrook Hop Giddins hopes as many as businesses, schools, clubs or organisations will get behind this fantastic cause, as it also helps with recycling, so please start collecting and drop the lids into one of the collection points. Anyone wishing to volunteer as a collection point can contact Joyce Giddins on 0407 611 406 or via email: bolto21@ bigpond.com.

Greg Shannon THIS Thursday night we will see the end of an era in North Qld when the North Qld Toyota Cowboys play at 1300Smiles stadium for the last time. There will be plenty of nostalgic moments leading up to this game as people remember the last 25 years of the Cowboys playing on this ground that was once a trotting track. The venue has had a few names, it was called the Willows Sports complex from 1985-94, then once it became the Cowboys home it became known as Stockland Stadium (1995-1997), Malanda Stadium (1998), Dairy Farmers Stadium (1999-2012) and 1300Smiles (2013- current). The first ever Cowboys home game at the stadium took place on March 11, 1995 and was a significant event for rugby league in the north. To

be competing on the national stage meant that North Qld juniors had the real chance to stay home and play the game at the elite level without having to move south.

International players like Greg Dowling, Gene Miles, Kerry Boustead, Colin Scott, Dale Shearer & Martin Bella were all North Qld players playing in Sydney or Brisbane before the Cowboys started and add to this list top first graders who had moved away to play like our own Craig Teitzel and Ingham’s Laurie Spina, and Willie Morganson and it was obvious that once the Cowboys started, such players would have the opportunity to stay home and still play at the top level. Thursday night will hold many memories for fans and players alike. The opening match, for instance, was a

It was also the venue for pool matches for 2003 Rugby Union world cup and the home

So this stadium has been part of the NQ scene for 25 years and it will certainly be the end of an era on Thursday night, but of course it is also the start of a new era with the planned opening of the new stadium in Townsville in 2020.

A GROUP of cyclists from Innisfail recently participated in the Cairns to Karumba Charity Bike Ride with around 150 other riders. They pedalled an epic 780 kilometres over seven days. Most of the riders are part of Innisfail Bicycle User Group (BUG), which takes part in regular social rides around the region. One family with three generations or riders was Herby Halloran (Kairi), his daughter Lorraine Piercy (Innisfail) and grand-daughter Allison Piercy (Brisbane) who did the dirt ride. During the ride, Halloran celebrated his 83rd birthday and was given an escort into town. Three generations of the Pattison family also rode with Barry (McClaren Vale), two sons, Phill (Armidale), Tony (Innisfail) and his grand-daughters Katie (Innisfail) and Emily (Mareeba). Sue

Pattison was part of the support crew who drove the car with camping gear. Frank Witt (Mena Creek) was pulled in at the last minute to be the luggage truck driver while John, Kathy and Donna Darveniza (South Johnstone) were volunteers driving the front escort vehicle for pack two which Donna rode in. Lyndell Ghietti, Lorraine Piercy, Allison Piercy, Herby Halloran, Daniel Segura were first time riders, with Frank Witt as a first time volunteer. There were also riders from Wales, Ireland, England and Japan, indicating the event is gaining international interest. The Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride has been running for 22 years and this year $76,000 was raised which will be used for educational opportunities and connecting kids who live in remote areas of North Queensland. The ride is divided into two parts, a 780km road and a dirt ride, which covers

selected routes along the way and riders were met at the stops by lots of children who then accompanied them into town. Riders rise at 5:00am, then breakfast at 7:00am before hitting the road and averaging between 94 to 151kms per day. Participants said the biggest challenges were hills and everyone learning to cooperate so they blended and rode well together in a pack. The road ride is divided into packs based on speed, with escort vehicles to safely move traffic around the cyclists. Over 50 dedicated volunteers helped make the ride run smoothly. Since 1997, the event has raised over one million dollars and most of the funds go to the Cairns School of Distance Education, supporting School of the Air and P & C Associations of the small schools along the route including Mt Garnet, Mt Surprise, Georgetown, Normanton,

Tigers News with Shane Muriata IF THE final ‘Terminator’ movie with Arnie in it disappointed you, the final game for our beloved Tully Tigers at the Showgrounds on Saturday night signalled the end and no “I’ll be Back” story was going to happen in season 2019. It was a strange feeling walking into the grounds, knowing no black and gold jerseys would be making the pilgrimage to Barlow Park for the first time in 6 years, but I found comfort in talking to the canteen and allround legend that is the one great Mrs Jane Burge’s. I have come to know this beautiful stateswomen as a champion when I first moved into my job as school sports guy, and I saw firsthand how she helped many children who struggle to follow their sporting dreams. It made me think

we should count ourselves lucky in our neck of the woods to have such a person here who genuinely care for people regardless who they are. To you Jane, I think you are an amazing person and I feel blessed and lucky I guess to even have any involvement or connection to your story. Hats off to a champ and all round great human being. If you see her around the traps, make sure you give her hug from me. As for our Tigers, Steven Barrett was all praise: “Just wanna thank our guys, it’s been a tough ride.” As coach Tongys tenure comes to a close, I want to take this time to thank the man. It was season to test all of our characters to the point of no sleep, but we pushed on. Tongy, on behalf of the Tigers, thank you for your contribution brother. As I head around the grounds, I want to take this chance to give our Aussie cricketers a chance to better themselves come the 4th Test after the debacle of what went on at Headingly. I want to give Benny Stokes a huge wrap here for play-

Congratulation to the Silkwood Team for First Place in the FNQ Triples. Well done Dennise Charman, Jean Messina and Carol Lowe. Second Place was Team Babinda Glennis Buttigieg, Ann Azzopardi and Louise Hoskin. Sunday August 25 All morning the rain threatened to spoil our Sunday bowling, but 17 bowlers were brave enough to dare the weather and were rewarded with sunshine. Tony Haydock, Dennis Donavan and Jenny Anear def. Delmo Tarditi, Kerry Donavan and Owen 19/14. Chris Lower and Tony Cates/Karin Rastoll def. John Boreham and Jennifer Dalmer 31/12. Jim Dalmer, Wayne Anear and Peter Buttley def. Jim Lindrem, Cyril Large and Barry Bunting 21/17.

Tully Bowls TUESDAY August 20, the following Tully members played in the FNQ triples at Innisfail: Bev Achilles, Val Zamora, Judy Hood, Mary Bacic, Claire Bourke, and Margaret Fanna. The Jackpot pairs did not go off on Wednesday. We had 30 bowlers enjoy the magic day, and the jackpot stands at $80.00 for this week. The winners on the day were John Taylor and Lorraine Harris. Friday, Judy Hood won 151 to 139 against Mary Bacic. Sunday started as a wet day but managed to clear in the arvo. Twenty-four players enjoyed the afternoon, and winners on the day were Kal Cockernen and Ken (no last name), both of whom were visitors, plus Claire Bourke. Monday, the two Vals, Val Zamora and Val Bradley, plus Judy Hood and Mary Bacic travelled to Edmonton where they represented the Tully Club in the JOSIE SUE SAN memorial shield. Many of our more mature members would remember Josie, who was an avid bowler according to her daughter, Terry. Some of our regular visitors are returning to the south. I have enjoyed having them!

ing the innings of his life because without him, they simply don’t win. I thought Joe Root made a comeback to form, and Joffra Archer was reminiscent of Curtly Ambrose. No point in blaming Pain, but he is the Test Cricket captain, so he has to take some of the crap that led to our downfall. Hazlewood should go, and maybe Head. Our version of Superman, Steve Smith will be back in to give us some hope of flying home with the Urn, but I think maybe Mitchel Starc could be in line for a recall. Hopefully come test match 4, were talking about retaining the Ashes and not Nathan Lyon fumbling a shocker. As I make my way around the district watching countless School Sports Carnivals, I find myself watching the crowd’s reaction to all the emotion that seems to accompany every event. Whilst it’s important to cheer on every golden moment, its equally important not to magnify every mistake a kid does. I see too many times student athletes fumble a ball, only to get judged by every Wayne Bennett wannabe for their inability to handle a moment

without perfection. Whether you’re family, coach or just a friend watching someone you admire play a game, cheer them on and let them make mistakes without being thrown under a bus. Mistakes being made is an opportunity to learn to get better, not a time to judge. I use to tell players stop yelling negative stuff at the players from the bench because 1) If they look at you when you are yelling at them, then they are not paying attention to the game, and 2) If the bench is yelling out of control, it means the coach has got no control of his team and himself. Whether, if by any chance you’re out this weekend watching our talented kids show us how it’s done or just your children having a blast by having no clue what’ss going on but enjoying it, cheer them on as loudly as you can. The world is already a crappy place with enough idiots to last us 600 lifetimes, be the one that they want to hug after the game regardless of the result and ask you if they can come back again next year.

LAST week, Innisfail lady bowlers were again blessed with perfect weather, and Innisfail hosted the FNQ Triples on Tuesday with teams from Innisfail, Tully, Silkwood and Babinda competing. Silkwood and Babinda progressed to the finals Wednesday morning which were played in very windy conditions where Silkwood proved too strong and were this year’s winners. In social bowls, teams played two games of 10 ends and in the first round Daphne Kirkman, Helen Paterson and Ellie Petrie (11) defeated Bev Anderson, Ann Rule and Nellie Marsh (9). Eileen Hamann, Marcia Ryall and Joan Atkinson (16) defeated Pam Anderson, Jan Edgerton and Catrina Cook (2) in the first round. The second round saw Kirkman’s team defeat Hamann’s team by 16-7, while Bev Anderson’s team defeated Pam Anderson’s team by 9-6 which meant Kirkman’s

THE boats that managed to travel out to the main reefs over the last week have generally reported great fishing with plenty of Coral Trout caught by fishing the reef shallows and drop offs. The deep water shoals have also continued to fish well with good numbers of high-quality Nannygai and the occasional Red Emperor being caught. There have also been some very good catches of Spangled Emperor being reported. The various shale patches in the shipping channel didn’t fish as well as normal over the weekend with several boats reporting that they could see the fish on the sounder but couldn’t get them to bite. This could possibly be put down to being at the right place at the wrong time and the small run in the tide. The Spanish Mackerel around the islands

were also reluctant to bite on the smallish tides over the weekend, however there were good catches reported during the week. Again, the majority of the big Macks were caught on trolled ribbonfish. The Spotty Mackerel have been biting well on the normal grounds east of the Barnard Islands. Good numbers are finally being reported caught, so fisherman need to show some self-control and only take want they need. This is good news as numbers have certainly been down over the last few years. This is now late in the season, and I would expect the spotties to move south very shortly. I have also heard reports of Fingermark and Grunter being caught by fishing the deeper holes in the Hinchinbrook Channel. There have also been some nice Fingermark and Grunter caught off the Cardwell foreshore. Things are looking very promising in the estuaries for summer with some very good catches of Barra and Mangrove Jacks being caught over the weekend in the coastal creeks. If you can catch and release 10 Jacks for a session at this time of year, how good will it be when the

water warms up, well done. The Bream and Flathead are still around in good numbers. It amazes me how few people chase flathead, you don’t even need a boat. Try working the channels in the sandbars and edges of the drop-offs with current running on to it. Hopping soft plastics slowly back to the beach is about as simple as it gets; give it a try. The mud crab catches have dropped off however there have been a few caught over the past week. At this early stage in the week the weather forecast is looking very good for this weekend with light winds forecast for both Saturday and Sunday. Either side of the morning high tide is perfect for anglers to fish for Grunter along the edge of the sandbars in the coastal creeks and in the Hinchinbrook area. This same tide change will also suit fishing for Spanish Mackerel around the islands and the Spotted Mackerel at silver sands. Of course, if the great water conditions predicted are correct, there will be a lot of boats heading out wide to fish the reefs. The afternoon low tide is very low and will cause access problems into some boat ramps, this will have to be taken into consideration. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

A great field of 38 golfers turned out on Saturday in gorgeous winter’s weather to play a single stableford event for prizes donated by Tyson Real Estate. Great course conditions provided some good scoring, with Jim Boston winning the day with 43 points. Runner-up only one shot back was Neil Reardon with 42 points. Ken Gear and David Christiansen round out the rundown on 39 and 37 points respectively. The winners of the nearest the pins were Stephen Bowden and Jim Boston.

Centre manager Brenda Gracie and Cassowary Coast Little Athletics are thrilled with the new sports equipment they received from a Coles grant

Tully and Cassowary Coast Little Athletics Centres benefit from Coles grants MARIA GIRGENTI TULLY Little Athletics and Cassowary Coast Little Athletics Centres are sporting brand new gear after both receiving grants from Coles from funds raised through the sale of Coles’ Community Chiller bags. The centres are two of more than 200 centres across Australia who have received funding from Coles to replace or expand its sports equipment. The Tully Centre received a grant of $4,600 while Cassowary Coast Little Athletics Centre in Mourilyan received $4,300. Funds for the grants are raised through the sale of specially marked chiller bags designed by eight-year-old Lachie Macdonald from Victoria and 11-year-old Charlie De Bruyn from Western Australia. A total of 25 cents from each bag sold is directed to the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund to provide sport equipment grants. Coles State General Manager Jerry Farrell said Coles was delighted to provide grants to help Little Athletics centres such as Tully and Cassowary Coast. “Thanks to all the customers who have bought our range of chiller bags at Coles stores, has enabled us to provide over $800,000 in grants for Little Athletics centres across Australia to help them purchase equipment such as

high jump, discus, hurdles and various running events to support these activities.” The Cassowary Coast centre elected to receive the grant for a portable discus cage, shot puts, discuses and trolleys while Tully indicated they would like to receive a grant for javelins, hurdles, trolleys and stopwatches. Coles said they were delighted to help with both these requests, as we are aware these items are an essential part of Little Athletics to support volunteers and budding young athletes. Cassowary Coast centre manager Brenda Gracie said the new equipment would be a huge boost to the centre and its athletes, as the small club is looking to grow so this will give more children exposure to quality athletics training. “The correct size and weight of equipment for each age group is essential to running our program effectively, so these funds will ease the pressure on volunteers to fundraise, as well as enrich the experiences we can offer to our athletes,” said Gracie. Jo Sichter, treasurer of Tully Little Athletics said the grant would make a huge difference to the centre which needed new equipment in order to continually provide a high quality and

It will also enable us to host the Tropical North Regional Championships being held at Tully Little Athletics Centre and Tully State High School this weekend, August 31 and September 1 where we

are expecting around 160 athletes to take part.” Sichter said this boost of new equipment will enable this competition to go ahead successfully and assist with the smooth running of events. This year the club is aiming to double membership so they can equal the number of athletes they had affiliated when Tully last hosted the Regionals in 2013.
