Bull and Bike Ride Captures Tully for One Spectacular Night

SEAN DENT THE 8th Annual Bull and Bike Ride captured all the attention on a gorgeous night last Saturday at the Showgrounds in Tully, and it was spectacular fun as usual for all who attended. The organisers said their

novice bull events, plus some kids’ fun activities at around 5:30pm and fireworks. (The bouncy castle got a lot of attention the whole night long.) Then there was a period of anticipation as several cowboys stamped around the grounds, levelling the

dirt. All the while, the announcers, Chris Condon and Tony Smith, expertly kept the spectators on edge with a combination of wit and repartee, building the anticipation with anecdotes, inside stories, and tall tales. Throughout the night, the DJ kept the

Do you believe that propaganda in Western countries was only used during times of war and is now obsolete in Western Countries? Do you believe that it is now only used in countries that have a strong dictatorship? When speaking about Western countries the terms ‘press freedom’ and ‘freedom of thought’ are used. But for a long time, our ‘freedom’ hasn’t been real; it has just been manufactured. Noam Chomsky an American Linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, social critic and political activist co-authored with Edward S. Herman who was an American economist, media scholar and social critic a book called Manufacturing Consent that was published in 1988. Their book talks about the five filers of the Mass Media Machine which are currently used in Western societies to manufacture our consent. In their book they blasted apart the notion that media acts as a check on power and that media’s goal is to inform the public and serve the public. The five filters that media truly work under are: 1. Ownership - mass media firms are big corporations whose end game is profit. Critical journalism can take second place to the needs and interests of the corporation.

2. Advertisers - Media cost more than consumers can pay so where does the profit come from? Advertisers need to be kept happy. 3. Establishment - Journalism can’t be a check on power as the system encourages complicity. Governments, corporations, big institutions learn how to play the media game to ensure that what is published is only what they want to be published. 4. Flack on Investigative journalism – the machine in action discredits sources and trashes their stories and diverts the conversation back to where they want it to be. 5. A common enemy – this last filter is to manufacture an enemy. Traditionally the ones that are used are communists, terrorists, immigrants. In modern media the goal is to be “woke” which means that we are now woken up to media using enemies like refugees, immigrants and terrorist as the common enemy. This has resulted in the current ‘common enemies’ being racism, sexism, conservatives, Christianity and climate change deniers. Since this research came out in the eighties, it has influenced the way we read an article in a publication. We now want to know ‘who owns that publications and what are their political goals and who bought the ads in that publication to ensure that positive things are said about them?’ When considering the ‘machine’ ask yourself is CCIN being pushed to the margins because we want to tell the truth? Because we want to publish investigative journalism? Because we want to go back to the traditional values of journalism and be a check on the established power and to inform the public? Here at CCIN want to write truthful accounts and fact check our articles. There have been stories missed by CCIN as we haven’t been informed of the events in the way that normally media would. Instead we have been barred from attending events.

LOCAL AFFAIRS

Bull and Bike Ride Captures Tully for One Spectacular Night CONTINUED FROM PG1 This was followed by the motorbike long jump that featured some local riders, none more popular than Tullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Justin Flegler of recent Australian Ninja Warrior fame. The announcers claimed at one point that the bikes were flying up to 10 meters high, which was probably a bit of an exaggeration, but frankly, the event calls for a bit of hyperbole. The point is, they were getting up there. One or two riders seemed not content with flying through the air and did the occasional wriggle or two while up there for a bit of extra fun. The winner was Luke Weaver with 36.2 metres. Flegler came a close second. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a bike versus horse event (I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), that thing is a lot of fun to watch. It was all females on the horses and all males on

the bikes: man versus woman, animal versus machine, each with their own set of skills and advantages. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take your eyes off it, and it seemed like most of the crowd was pulling for the horses, and they won nearly every qualifying contest. One girl was so excited, she rode the last 20 metres with her hands reaching to the sky in victory. In the final, though, the motorbiker was just too good at the tight turns, and he had the advantage of horsepower, after all. If you want to know if they were trying, you just had to look at the gritty determination on the face of the last female rider as she hopelessly chased the winner, Scott Jonsson over the final few metres. The main event, of course, was the Open Bull, but before that, the announcers cajoled some of the spectators: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still drinking beer and want to have a goâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Quite a few did, and they paired

up to do some Chute Doggin, where one tried to hold onto the head of the young bull (hornless, I should add), while the partner tried to keep hold of the tail. It was a riot to watch the bulls making them look plain silly. The announcers did a bang-up job of building the tension leading up to the final rounds of the Open Invitational Bull Ride, giving us background on both the riders and the bulls. After the first round, the finalists who did the best got to choose which bull they wanted. They knew the bulls well, so the obvious thing to do was pick the most docile bull out of a selection where none of them were the least bit docile. One of the most interesting moments of the night came when we were informed that one of the riders had never successfully rode one of the bulls, yet he chose to partner up with him. The man wanted to win by beating

his own Moby Dick. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, but fair play to him; he was going for it and we were all rooting for him. The ultimate winner of the Open Bull was Tully boy, Michael Smith. The Novice Bullride winner was Malcolm Copley, also from Tully, so the crowd enjoyed that. The Junior Bull Ride went to the bulls, with no one riding out the time. The organising committee wanted to make sure we thank the long list of sponsors, without whom there would be no event. Also, a reminder, this is a 100% not for profit community event with all proceeds going back into the local community with one exception: a $1600 Donation went to Scott Ervin and his two sons Hayden and Connor, who lost Bernadette, their partner/mum this year. It was a touching moment in the middle of an exhilarating night.

SEAN DENT

THIS year the TSC has once again partnered with Teitzel’s Supa IGA Tully to place a donation trolley near their checkouts to collect non-perishable goods to help families in our community. This partnership will enable community members to purchase an extra item in their weekly shop, to be placed in the trolley to be distributed to local families in need. Tin food, rice, pasta, cereal, long life milk, etc; it all helps. For 14 years, the Tully Support Centre (TSC) Emergency Relief Pantry has been providing locally sourced, non-perishable food items at no cost to vulnerable families in our community. During that time we have responded to over 15,000 requests for food and financial assistance. However, this program relies on fundraising and donations from our community to continue to provide this assistance. More than just food hand outs The TSC Emergency Relief pantry is more than just handouts, it is a hand up. In addition to providing food assistance, the TSC works with community members to address financial issues, establish realistic budgets, and make referrals

to further supports for issues that are negatively impacting on their lives. In doing so the program seeks to build the capacity of the individual to better cope with issues in their lives and reduce the need for future financial assistance. Teitzel’s Supa IGA Tully supports a lot of fundraising and donation initiatives in our community and I would like to thank them for their support in making this possible. If you can, please buy a little something extra to place in the trolley to help bring some Christmas joy to families in our community doing it tough this Christmas. 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 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 4pm; Wednesday 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 6pm.

Innisfail and District Historical Society 2020 Calendar Selling Fast

INNISFAIL and District Historical Society has released its 2020 calendar featuring buildings of Geraldton/Innisfail that have come and gone, aptly titled 'Shadows of the Past.' It was 140 years ago, when the first party of non-Indigenous settlers set foot on these lands and they constructed potentially permanent buildings. The first public buildings were the police station, courthouse/gaol, customs house, unofficial post office and a bush pub. All arrivals came by sea, so along the river bank were jetties and storehouses. Steamships travelled the coast and brought people, supplies and mail, which were unloaded at the river mouth and brought up the river to the 'Junction' (as it was first known) by small boats. The first cyclone in 1906 caused major damage to the settlement then known as Geraldton. A tent hospital was built among the tree stumps along the riverbank and the first sugar mill Innisfail Mill was built across the river from the hospital. Three other mills soon followed, Innishowen, Mourilyan and CSR's Goondi Mill. In 1910, Geraldton was renamed Innisfail, and buildings were much more substantial.

The first concrete buildings were built before the disastrous cyclone of 1918 when the town was almost totally destroyed. The rebuilding of Innisfail in the 1920s and 1930s has seen it become the Art Deco Town of the Tropics. The 2020 calendar which has been compiled by Yvonne Smith and Val Robertson shows some of the buildings which have passed into time but were significant in the history of our town. These include: the tent hospital, Customs House, various church buildings, stores, hotels, an early Shire Hall, the first bowling green and clubhouse, as well as Mourilyan Harbour and wharf. The first 100 have already sold and there are limited numbers of the calendar available left for sale at $10 so get in quick to secure a copy at the Historical Society Museum, Edith Street. Museum opening hours are 10.00am - 12noon on weekdays and Saturday mornings from 9.00am - 11.30am.

Carols by Candlelight Kicks off the Christmas Season this Sunday

LAST year, Carols by Candlelight in Tully was accompanied by a massive storm. It still attracted 400 people according to its organiser, Sue Magarey, who along with her husband, Rob is a leader at Tully Family Church, one of the churches hosting the annual event that has been going on for about 30 years. She’s expecting as many as 500 people to attend this Sunday, December 8, especially as the weather is predicted to be somewhat better (although Elders suggests there’s a decent chance of a sprinkling of rain at some point during the day). The doors open at 6:00pm at the Cyclone Shelter beside Tully State School, 21 Mars St, in Tully. When you arrive, there will be kids’ activities, a sausage sizzle, tea, coffee, cake, and ice cream before the singing starts in earnest at about 6:45pm. There will be an interval halfway through allowing time for more refreshments and banter

among neighbours. You can also expect to find some craft tables, face painting, and a jumping castle. Everything will be free apart from the glow sticks and soft drinks. Sue is asking where possible that people bring a gift for children in the community to put under the tree. If you are not attending and still want to leave a gift, you can drop it into Tully Support Centre on Bryant Street. The event is hosted by the combined churches in the area and supported by IGA, MGN Civil, Prices Plus, Tully Raycare, Good Vibrations, NewsXpress Tully, Angel Care, and a few locals. Apart from the traditional Christmas carols, there will be some indigenous content and local artists performing. It’s a great time to catch up on news from the past year with people you may not see as often as you’d like. For many of us, it’s the first Christmas event of the year and a chance to start to get into the spirit of the season of giving.

Massive Plans for Mission/Dunk Revealed DOMINIC MOBBS

YOU would have to have been living under a stone the past two months not to have seen some of the hype around the Mayfair Group’s $1.68 billion plans over 15 years for Mission Beach, and Dunk Island expected to require over 10,000 employees during construction. Mayfair, although having not previously undertaken a major tourism development, plans to transform the area into “the tourism mecca of Australia” and the “most sought-after island destination in Asia Pacific”. What exactly do these plans going under the name ‘Project Paradise’ encompass? CCIN’s approach to Mayfair for an interview

There will also be the construction on the Island of 50 residential homes, a shopping village and an upgrade of the Spit and expansion of the airport runway. Development on the Mission Beach mainland will consist of three resorts, nine hotel accommodation options ranging between 3 and 5-star ratings, and two new backpacker hostels will be constructed/ renovated, offering approximately 740 rooms to visitors. Budget for these is $490m. In addition, 700 residential properties comprising 200 apartments and 500 new homes are planned together with re-building 100 homes. The project also anticipates the construction of several commercial offices, a commercial precinct, schools, 15 new restaurants

was rejected. CCIN has however obtained a copy of the September 2019 Economic Impact Assessment Study prepared by the AEC Group for Mayfair, as well as their November 2019 Information Memorandum in which Mayfair “is seeking a financier for in part or in full.” In summary, these documents show plans in the region for 6 resorts, 11 accommodation venues, 750 residential houses and 6 commercial precincts. For Dunk Island, purchased for $31.5m, the project intends to initially restore the Island’s existing 5-star resort, followed by the construction of a luxury 6-7-star resort and an upper market 4-star resort. Approximately 330 rooms for visitors will be created. For these the budget is set at $280m.

and an entertainment complex, all expected to cost $320m approximately. Not only is an 18 hole golf course ($10m) planned but additional sporting facilities ($20m) as well as upgrades to the Innisfail and Cardwell Airports at $30m and $50m respectively. The project also expects the development and upgrade of roads, utilities and marina facilities within the area, for a total construction cost of approximately $110 million. AEC believes 89,300 overnight visitors will “be attracted to the area once the project is fully developed and in a steady state levels of visitation” based on an average 72% occupancy rate, 6.7 nights average stay and average 1.8 persons per room. In addition to overnight

visitors, patronage from 39,100 day trip visitors is expected to be attracted to the area each year. In order to facilitate this strategy the Mayfair Group, besides acquiring Dunk Island plus the Spit leasehold, has entered into contracts to acquire around 250 properties for a cost of over $135m around Mission Beach. Of this total, 60% has been spent on about 150 blocks of vacant land, 35% on residential properties with the remainder commercial with many having settlement dates stretching well into late-2020. The largest 204-hectare land acquisition, at around $7.5m, appears to be the South Mission Palmae Estate at Explorer Drive/Jacky Jacky St. This stretches behind Lugger Bay towards Kennedy Bay.

Mayfair outlines its strategy as acquiring all available stock of small vacant blocks hoping this will “enable the bottom end to be repriced with the view to gradually sell”, while larger blocks will be held and sub-divided over the long term. Residential properties will be held, rented, and then sold “as the region becomes re-priced”. Commercial properties apparently acquired include the Dunk Island View and Bali Hai caravan parks, Absolute Backpackers, Nana Thai and Pippi’s on the Beach restaurants, Taihoa and Montage holiday units, the South Mission shopping precinct, and numerous shops in the Big Cassowary Shopping Village at Wongaling. Negotiations re acquiring The Elandra appear to have stalled. By any standard the pro-

ject is ambitious, with what some may call ‘heroic’ assumptions, even if there is a 15 year-time frame. The Mayfair Group established in 2017 is a fund manager relying on high net worth wholesale investors. It does not currently have the funding to complete the project. It is hoping to attract investors to one of its three funds that will in turn on lend to the trust vehicles planning to undertake the various developments. How much of Project Paradise will actually eventuate only time will tell. To realise these plans Mayfair will certainly need to spend considerable marketing dollars putting the region on the international and domestic tourism map. Tropical Coast Tourism must certainly be pleased to have such a new partner.

Tully Christmas Street Party Set for Huge Tully Movember Fundraiser Hits $5800 Mark for Men’s Health Gathering on December 19 ie directly. As Julie said, it’s all about giving back to the community that gives so much to us all year long. My guess is, it won’t bother the shop owners that a few thousand shoppers will be descending upon our town that day. On the night in question, the streets will close to traffic about 4:00pm. There bouncy castle will be popular, but probably the biggest attraction will be Anna and Elsa from Frozen. That said, Bendigo Pig, the Turtle & the Frog, Benny Banana, various singers, ponies, Zoo to You, and Rosie Menzies (the fire twirler from Circus with a Purpose) will all have their fans. Of course, it wouldn’t be a party at all without Lara the Clown. If you bought one of the thousands of tickets for the Rotary Stockings, that will be the night you’ll find out if you won. Tully Kindergarten is also doing their own draw that night. So, if you have tickets for Beer for a Year (they are still available), that will also be the night you find out. And if you’re a kid, you might just get something early from Santa.

IF you know someone who was at the first Tully Christmas Street Party, you’re pretty unique. It has been going for possibly between 90 and a hundred years, no one seemed to know for sure. As far as we can tell, it’s not only the oldest local tradition, it’s also the biggest, with anywhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people coming to Tully for the last Thursday before Christmas, typically the last work day of the year for local tradies. This year it’s going to be held on December 19 at the usual venue of Butler Street and spilling over onto the streets surrounding it. Obviously with that number of people, it’s not just for Tully-ites. People travel in from as far away as Cairns and Townsville for what has to be the biggest party of any kind for hundreds of kilo-

the attention to the many businesses who are supporting the party: it takes a bit of money to cater to a few thousand people, after all. Tigers Leagues Club, for example, have been hosting trivia nights to help raise money. Tully Drapery was running a 100 Board with $1000 going to the winner. The new owner of Tummy to Tots, Rebecca Francis, is taking pictures of kids with Santa and the Grinch and donating $5.00 per sitting to the party fund, and she will be back there next Saturday. Dore's Goodyear Autocare and Tully Sugar also contributed. Mitre 10, Tummy to Tots, Hair on Butler, Tully Drapery, Igguldens, Kitchen Essentials, Mamma Mia, Tully Jewellers, Rescue Swag, Flame Tree, and Julie’s Beauty Spot will be both donating to the cause and arranging to stay open late for Thursday night shopping between now and then, giving us all the opportunity to support local business and contribute to the party simply by shopping. If anyone wants to contribute a bit more, they can sponsor performers or donate to Jul-

MAYBE you were walking up Butler Street on Saturday morning and saw a commotion outside Mitre 10, including a fire truck, and wondered what was going on. The Tully Men’s Shed was also in attendance, and Denis Godfrey, the local barber as well. If it sounds a bit like the opening of an elaborate murder mystery, sorry, no. Rather, it was a Movember fundraiser organised by Kristine Brisbane. Movember is a movement started in 2003 when two Melbourne mates came up with the idea at the Gypsy Bar in Fitzroy to bring the moustache back into fashion. A friend’s mother was fundraising for breast cancer, and they decided to run a campaign for men’s prostate cancer. Thirty friends took up the challenge and they raised exactly zero dollars. Nowadays, more than 20 countries have joined Australia, counting hundreds of thousands of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas every year, in the bid to raise money and awareness, funding over a thousand different serious men’s health projects. (One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 75, testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men.)

Last January, Ricky Fanning and Kristine Brisbane started raising awareness and donations towards the Movember Association. Brisbane asked Fanning to "Gro The Mo" and she would do the rest. Kristine and her husband Wesley had a very personal reason to do this as they lost a close family member to mental health issues early this year, and it prompted her to do something to raise awareness and help others before it’s too late. They have been Fundraising all year through Facebook, Donations, Raffles and a Cake Stall. Brisbane didn’t want to just focus on prostate cancer. “We wanted to make it about men's health in general and to stop men dying too young. Yes, that includes prostate and testicular cancer awareness, but also other issues like suicide awareness and prevention. Three out of four suicides are men.” Brisbane set up a chair on the corner outside Mitre 10 in front of a cake stall, a wheelbarrow with prizes and a raffle table, and Fanning was the first to go. Godfrey made the trip down with his clippers (and some sheep shears just in case) and made short work of Fanning’s facial hair and even did the eyebrows, no charge! “It was a fun morning. As

well as Ricky's Shave, we auctioned off another local bloke, Bob Long, and his MO TO GO added a further couple of hundred dollars to the cause. The local Tully firefighting team, who were also raising their own funds for Movember, donated their time and bought their fire trucks to join us for our Movember Shave Day, A few of their ‘Mo's had to go’ too.” On the morning itself, they raised $1,320, and over the course of the year, the tally came to $5805. “Thank you to everyone who helped in any way, whether through donations, buying raffle tickets, baking cakes, we were very grateful for such local support to our Movember movement this year,” said Brisbane. If you are feeling like you or someone you love might be in danger, there’s always someone to listen to you.

metres. You may have noticed that preparations have been underway. We bumped into Shane Greenwood from Tully Support Centre last Wednesday afternoon halfway down Butler Street and he was about to attend a meeting regarding it. On the following Saturday, we spotted Santa Claus posing for photos with kids in the IGA shopping complex, and his voice sounded remarkably familiar to Greenwood’s. The Grinch (cough! Jess Anders) also popped in, and seemed to be popular with adults, including the paramedics who came to check if her heart was really two sizes too small. On Monday, we wandered into Julie’s Beauty Spot on Still Street and got talking to its owner, Julie Dean, who along with Christine Boric from Tully Drapery is doing the bulk of the organising for the event, and the excitement and anticipation was obvious in her voice. As usual for this area, she deflected

COMMUNITY NEWS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clarification in Pied Imperial pigeon article

“I am writing to clarify some of the details in last week’s article about the Citizen Science Project on North Brook Island. Quotes from me appeared to indicate that the pigeons nested on the beach, this is not correct … Anyone who has a boat can sail out to the beautiful Brook Islands and enjoy these magic surroundings 30km off shore from Cardwell but the Islands are protected and landing is prohibited because they are an important breeding site not just for the Pied Imperial Pigeon but also for the protection of the Tern rookeries. It is the Terns that are so easily disturbed by people as unlike the pigeons, the Terns nest on the coral sands on the beach. It is the Terns that are exceptionally susceptible to disturbance and their eggs and chicks that are vulnerable to heat if disturbed. This article was primarily to promote the Pigeon Count that has been conducted for over 50years now and is one of the longest running bird studies in Australia. The trend data collected is of importance to show the long-term changing patterns of the numbers of birds using these islands as a breeding ground. The promotion of this project and the exhibition that has been shown in the Cardwell Library was to seek a new generation of citizen scientists who might want to participate. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify these important details” Daryl Dickson Carruchan in the Kennedy Valley.

CCRC indifference to public safety.

The CCRC seems to have a cavalier approach to the safety of the general public. I have raised a number of safety issues with council over the last couple of months, mainly through the division 1 councillor. The lack of response from council is of concern. Issues have ranged from the sink hole that appeared in White Street

Cardwell, to issues with the Jetty market access to the current state of the Sheridan street boat ramp which has council as facility manager. Council has not responded directly on any matters (one wonders what 152 administrative staff do); Councillor Raleigh has responded after being prompted. The temporary repair of the sink hole in White Street that was put in place on August 16 is still in place. One would think a proper fix would have been done by now. Time will tell if council policy has changed in regard to urgent after hours repairs where public safety is an issue. Vehicle access to the Cardwell Jetty markets and indeed the Cardwell Jetty is along a section of the dedicated walking/cycling path. The purpose of this path is to segregate cars and pedestrian/cycling traffic, someone has deemed it appropriate that all cars also use a path that was not designed or intended for this purpose. The access for the Coral sea markets is on a similar basis; why is there not dedicated car access? There have been other safety issues associated with the Jetty markets which have been brought to the attention of Councillor Raleigh (and I assume council), but to date, no action has been taken regarding these issues although Councillor Raleigh is hopeful that something is happening. Public safety should not rely on hope, it needs decisive positive action to be enacted within as short a time frame as possible. According to the local councillor, main roads and council representatives have met at the boat ramp and the only issue of importance noted is the erosion around the Calophyllum tree roots. Can somebody please tell me how an 800 mm drop off the edge of the ramp can be classed as safe with no repairs required? The lack of action regarding safety issues by council is worrying, perhaps council is of the view that they have insurance to fall back on if someone is injured so there is no urgency to effect repairs. I sincerely hope this is not the case. Terry Aspinall, Cardwell.

Cassowary Coast Paws and Claws Launch Christmas Appeal

MARIA GIRGENTI THE inaugural launch of Cassowary Coast Paws and Claws Animal Refuge Christmas Appeal was launched recently where Donella Cross and Evelyn King from Babinda Taskforce were delighted to present Francis Young (Refuge Manager of CCPC) and rescue dog Hudson with a cheque for $200. This cheque was donated from the winnings of Babinda Taskforce Best Dressed Window Display and The Butterflies Samara, Melina, Jasmin, Katlin from Good Counsel College and Emma and Lauren from Babinda State School who won Best on Foot in the street parade at Babinda Harvest Festival in October. Cassowary Coast Paws and Claws Christmas Appeal is an opportunity for animal lovers of Babinda, Innisfail, Tully, and surrounding areas to give some

much-needed Christmas cheer to animals waiting for their 'forever' homes. The refuge is very appreciative of all the food donations they receive but is appealing for collars, leads, animal shampoo and toys and the support of the community is beneficial in the refuge being able to continue he good work that is done in re-homing of animals. The idea for the appeal was the initiative of Donella Cross and Babinda Taskforce who wanted the fur babies going to their new homes to feel proud wearing their very own collar and lead. While the refuge primarily is a safe place for the animals to stay before they are re-homed, it also provides volunteer opportunities for many people in the local community. People from all walks of life including school students, playgroups, families, elderly, special needs and backpackers are regular volunteers who spend quality time walking and playing with the cats and dogs, as well as assisting with important jobs at the refuge. The social interaction with the

animals is not only good therapy for the volunteers, but it is priceless for the animals as they become accustomed to being around humans from all different age groups. New volunteers are always welcomed and anyone wishing to assist can visit the refuge at Downing Street or contact 0428 807 461. For those that would prefer, they can make a cash donation directly to their bank account, or Tropical Vet Services are willing to accept monetary contributions which will be credited to Cassowary Coast Paws and Claws account for on-going veterinary care. Drop off points are as follows: Babinda Taskforce, Munro St, Tempyst Hair and Beauty Rankin Street, Innisfail, collection bins at Woolworths and Coles in Innisfail, as well as Tropical Vets Tully. Bank details for Cassowary Coast Paws and Claw are: -Bendigo Bank BSB: 633 000 Account No: 154170153 or contact your local Tropical Vet Services to arrange your donation to the Paws and Claws account.

Council and Workers Finally Reach Agreement

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS A short Local Government meeting in Tully on November 28, finishing up just before 11:00am. With Mayor Kremastos in Canberra for a meeting of mayors from the North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils with government and shadow ministers, Deputy Mayor Kimberley was in the chair. The most important item was the finalisation of the new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) between Council and its workforce. The EBA sets out the pay and conditions of employment of council staff. Negotiations in respect to this, which will replace the 2011 EBA, have been ongoing for nearly two years with six different trade unions. Council workers held a ballot on November 26, with 79% of the 271 votes cast in favour of the latest proposal, the main feature of which is 2.5% pay increases on December 3, 2019, 2020 and 2021, on top of a $1700 base rate pay increase. Council aims to have the 1% back pay to December 3, 2018 element paid prior to Xmas. Ben Jones of the Services Union said to CCIN that it is “always a relief to finish an Agreement and deliver a pay rise as well as maintain conditions.”

David Goodman, Director Infrastructure Services, informed councillors that it would be necessary to move to Level 3 water restrictions. He expressed disappointment that despite the introduction of the level 2 restrictions on November 8, water consumption did not drop, in fact the opposite. Using the data from council’s 3000 smart meters, consumption in November rose to 1153 litres/connection/day compared with 1058 litres in October. This equates to around 520 litres per person per day and compares unfavourably with S-E Qld users where consumption runs around 190 litres/person/day. Councillor Glenn Raleigh said the Council was facing the possibility of even more severe restrictions if the situation didn’t improve in the next four weeks. “We’re heading for unknown territory. We might have to consider entering more extreme water usage measures, if we don’t see rain soon,” Cr Raleigh said. As he did back in September Mr. Toogood presented a ‘petition without notice’ signed by 11 petitioners seeking a further five issues be considered, including that Council enter into mediation with the local couple regarding the various legal matters in which they are engaged with Council. Councillors voted to refer the petition to the CEO for action. This was despite some of the councillors appearing to have a conflict of interest in re-

spect to some of the five topics. If this applied, at least one of the items should have been potentially referred to the new Delegated Standing Committee, established to consider resolutions where a majority of councillors have a conflict of interest. To the uneducated observer this whole ‘conflict of interest’ issue is confusing. During discussions relating to the attendance of councillors at the 2019 Global Eco Asia-Pacific Tourism Conference, Cr Baines, who is Chair of the Governance and Environment Committee and should be familiar with the rules, not only voted on the resolution but also took part in discussions even though paying for his registration was part of the deliberations. This contrasted with Cr Heath who absented himself from debate regarding his attendance at the Australian Regional Tourism Convention held in Tasmania in October... Figure the difference?...CCIN can’t. The only other interesting discussion revolved around the new $10m bridge proposed to be built over the Bruce Highway at Smith’s Gap, just 2km south of El Arish. This will facilitate cassowary crossings. Councillors were scathing at the lack of consultation with local government. Cr. Kimberley was particularly adamant that there had been no cassowaries ever seen in the vicinity let alone deaths. Cr Raleigh added that “the only endangered species are drivers on the Bruce Highway.”

TCT Announces New CEO, President and Committee at AGM SEAN DENT In an article we printed last July, we presented a small slice of a report titled, The Cassowary Coast Region Tourism Strategy, a 62-page manifesto designed to rebuild our tourism industry and set it on a positive and lasting upward trajectory. At the time we stated that there were two things we could take from the report: 1) a successful tourism industry benefits us all, no matter what business you are in and 2) a successful tourism industry depends on us all as well. Tropical Coast Tourism (TCT) had its Annual General Meeting last Monday at Mission Beach and one speaker echoed those exact ideas: Tourism affects us all and is dependent on our efforts. One example given by TCT committee member, Cr Ben Heath, was how many local businesses have upgraded their shopfronts recently, giving the area a better look. For the most part it went as AGMs go, with a lot of formalities, polite small talk, and the odd joke to break the monotony. It went pretty fast too, finishing about 10 minutes ahead of schedule at 6:40pm, allowing for time to socialise, which was good as there were a few people new to the area. The meat of the meeting was good though, and a lot of the attendees would have been looked upon as an all-star group of the

local tourism industry. Relative newcomer, Stuart Duplock, Mayfair’s CEO, was voted to the position of vice president, and another newcomer, Patrick Bluett was appointed full-time CEO of Tropical Coast Tourism, with the mandate to continue the rebuild. Both of these gentlemen will potentially play a huge difference in tourism and in the local economy generally. If all goes according to plan, Duplock will lead a resurgence on Dunk Island that could heavily impact all of us, creating thousands of new jobs, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors as well as many new businesses, increasing the value of local properties, and transforming the area into “the tourism mecca of Australia.” As Mayor John Kremastos put it, if all goes according to plan, nobody will be saying, “The Cassowary Coast? Where is that?” Bluett has a background in tourism, having held sales and marketing positions at Experience Co and Hilton Hotels Worldwide in Cairns. He also worked for GBR Helicopters, which does scenic tours over the Great Barrier Reef. He’s also done some work for Tourism Australia, where he has worked with outgoing TCT President, Jasmine

Porteous and the newly announced President of TCT, Nancy Lowe. Lowe said that Bluett’s networking skills are going to be important for him in his new position. We spoke with Bluett, and his mission is long term, but clear: Elevate the profile of the region and create an identity that visitors will identify with, and then use his quarter century of sales and marketing tourism experience in the region to bring those visitors here and then bring them back again. “Consumers are definitely looking for more experience-based tourism activities as opposed to mass product activity, and here it’s all based on that experiential tourism,” he said, and that’ a huge advantage for us on the Cassowary Coast. Kremastos got in on the excitement, standing up to talk about the opportunities going forward. He spoke of tourism as the obvious low-hanging fruit for building up the area beyond bananas, cane, and agriculture. “It takes courage to pay for someone to be a CEO,” he said, then looked around at the new board members. “You’ve got a lot of work to do and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council is committing to support you.”

Research the Land Before You Invest SARI HYYTINEN

IF you would like to become a farmer, then getting a good mentor can make things go much better for you. Rebecca Askey-Doran didn’t have a mentor but took the time to study and still studies to ensure that her farm is a success. “I went to university. I have a degree in Botany but I am a third generation flower grower. My pop sold commercial

flowers in Tasmania and vegetables in Townsville. When I was a child, we spent two years living here, and I loved this area, so I returned to the region and bought the farm five years ago in June 2014 and have been farming the land,” said Askey-Doran. Askey-Doran started Pinto Peanuts. She did her research and found there was a significant gap in the market. When

CCIN asked Askey-Doran did she start Pinto Peanuts herself she responded “Yes, I couldn't buy any. When I researched it, the commercial Farmers had shut down 14 years ago up in the Tablelands.” Askey-Doran did her research to found out what would be a viable crop and stumbled on Pinto Peanuts. Getting the crop established was difficult. “I spent a year basically

killing it trying to get it to grow the way that I wanted to grow it and now I sell bulk Pinto peanuts to the commercial farmers,” said Askey-Doran. Askey-Doran practices farming that requires minimal bending to ensure she supports her back, and which is organic to ensure she supports her environment. “No soil and no plastic waste. It was really important for me

that it was easy to plant

Mr O’Malley said local cassowary groups would help to monitor the equipment, which has been installed on the El Arish-Mission Beach Rd and Tully-Mission Beach Rd. Reducing dangerous interactions between cassowaries and vehicles is part of a larger four-year Rainforest Resilience project that also focuses

on improving rainforest habitat in the Wet Tropics through grants and incentives for revegetation, weed management and habitat protection. The Rainforest Resilience project is supported by Terrain NRM through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.

TARA WEBSTER TUCKED away in leafy “Dundee Park,” The Rainforest School is quietly but determinedly achieving many goals in its first year of existence. The small but dedicated group of teachers, parents and community members are successfully operating the independent school whose mission and vision is to educate children in “a safe, natural and nurturing environment that promotes self-confidence and self-esteem, and foster authentic relationships and encourage within the child a connection with nature and a love of learning.”

“We’ve achieved heaps more than we ever imagined,” school business manager Carolien Franken said. “When we first opened, we had just a few donated materials. Now we have a completely set up school, we are well resourced, it looks beautiful, the kids are settled in and have a real group of friends. We’ve been involved in many community projects; we are ticking all the boxes we set up at the beginning of the year.” Plans for the future include an outdoor classroom set up under a lush “ice-cream bean” tree, and further development of the kitchen garden, teaching

Good Counsel Primary Year 1 Classes Visit Villanova Residents

MARIA GIRGENTI GOOD Counsel Primary School Year 1G and 1S classes recently visited residents of Villanova aged care home in Innisfail. This outing was part of their History unit, 'How times have changed', and the children eagerly listened to the residents as they shared experiences of how they lived 'in the olden days.' Through the Social and Emotional Learning Program, the youngsters have been learning how to show empathy for others. It proved to be such a lovely experience for both the younger and older generation.

students subjects like maths and sustainability, with it possibly becoming a flagship project. “We have so many ideas and dreams, but as there are only a few of us, it will take time to achieve them all,” Franken added. They are well on their way, recently passing their first audit from the Non-State School Accreditation Board (NSSAB) with flying colours, and receiving approval to extend classes from Prep to Year Six. In alignment with their motto “Grow Slow, Grow Strong,” they plan to add only one class per year, growing as the children develop.

“We are always looking for ways to fulfil our school vision and values and planning is around our pillars of Connection, Creativity, Community and Conservation,” said school Principal and teacher, Julie Abbott. Many of the highlights of the year reflect this, and the list is long as they recount their achievements. They signed up to be a Reef Guardian School and began making Boomerang Bags. Numerous excursions have taken them to Garners Beach and Murray Falls with National Parks Ranger Steve Price, Book Week at the Wongaling Beach Library and

swimming at the Mission Beach Aquatic Centre. A series of creative workshops were conducted with natural plant dye artisan Nina Dawson from Birdtribe Wearable Art and weavers Stuart and Kate Campbell Lloyd from Okka Wikka teaching palm frond weaving techniques. They became a partner school in the Digital Technologies in Focus program run by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) accessing national standard resources and learning opportunities. As the school extends their year levels, they will need an

extra subject like languages, and hope for an extra classroom, depending on funding and student numbers. As they build their foundation as a school, they can gradually build towards higher age levels. “In the future we hope to offer more programs that align with our values,” said Abbott, “with integrated subjects in a contextualised way, using knowledge from our local area and making use of the natural resources we have in the schoolyard and surrounding area.”

IN 2018, Claire Lowe was Queensland’s top Agricultural Science student. In recognition of her achievements, Claire’s impressive Year 12 research report, a Farm Systems Analysis of an intensive piggery was chosen as the state exemplar for Agricultural Science and published in the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority Highlights for 2018. To add to her exceptional list of achievements, on Australia Day this year, Claire also received a much deserved award for “Young Citizen of the Year.” Claire is currently on a gap year with the Australian Military, as a Combat Engineer in the

Royal Australian Engineers. A reflection of her dedication, Claire was the recipient of the award for the “most outstanding soldier in her platoon.” Continuing with the Australian Military in 2020, Claire has decided to refine her skills and gain some valuable life experience for another year. It is Claire’s plan to eventually pursue a career in Agriculture but in the meantime, she is taking full advantage of the many opportunities coming her way. Claire is a most capable and humble young woman and her commitment and achievements are an inspiration to many young people.

Northern Pride Under 20s coach Dave Scott, Intrust Super Cup assistant coaches Bevan Walker and Vinnie Huirama and Intrust Super Cup player Terrence Casey-Douglas were joined by Pride Under 20 squad members Roy Mooka, Elia Mooka, Ayden Kris, Simon Asela and Joel Lokotui from Innisfail Leprechauns, who have come up through the

ranks. Walker said the clinic was designed to provide 13-16 year old players with an introduction to rugby league to assist in the transition to senior ranks. Drills and activities focused on core skills such as catch pass, draw and pass, playing straight and fast, quick play of the ball, game speed and playing to certain areas of the field. Coaches also explained to players the reasons behind these all actions, how they correlated and why they are important for good defence and attacking play. Scott said the clinics provided talented players

Congratulations to Dave Wylie on winning the Andy Tait Memorial Match Play Championship 2019. Dave won the event in a playoff to Rhys Camilleri 4/3 held on Sunday.

Tully Golf Saturday saw golfers try a new challenge with Milligan Golf where players were permitted to hit a second ball on every shot should they choose not to take their first effort. Those who played loved the different styled event and none more so than Neil “Nobby” Reardon who reveled in the opportunity of getting a second chance at each shot, coming in with an amazing 55 net score, winning the day by a massive 6 shots. Rumor has it that his first shots were terrible, but he more than made up for it with the second shots. Having an even better day was Trevor Baillie who had a hole in one on the par 3 seventh hole. Runners up for the day were Jordan Ketchell with a net 60 and Noel Wagner one shot back with a net 61. The nearest the pins on the day were won by Ernie Gower, Kas Marshall, Audrey Gower and of course Trevor Baillie with his ace on the seventh hole. This week sees the last Tully Tyre Plus monthly medal of the year. Those who have won a monthly model throughout 2019 will also play off for the Reed’s Betta Home Living Medal of Medals event. And a reminder that the annual Acme Insurance Ham Day and Christmas

Cassowary Coast Cyclones Suffer First Innings Loss to Rovers CASSOWARY Coast Cyclones A grade cricket team hosted Rovers at Miller Oval in Tully for their two-day clash. After losing the toss, Cassowary Coast was asked to bat on a pitch which had plenty of life in it early. Runs came at a premium as openers Jasran Kalkat and Luke McAvoy saw off a difficult opening period where only one run was scored in six overs. The Cyclones batsmen remained watchful and put together a valuable 30run opening stand before Kalkat was caught behind for 23. McAvoy remained resolute and batted for over 150 balls, compiling a gritty 53 runs. The middle order wasn’t able to support the talisman as Rovers’ slower bowlers snared the key wickets of Camilleri (7) and Paterson (7). A further two wickets fell which saw the Cyclones slump to 5-84. The lower order managed to fight back with the trio of Simon Cristaudo (14), Daniel Bradford (30) and Kai Henderson (15) all showing a combination of

patience and game awareness to stretch the innings and give the Cyclones a reasonable total to defend. The Cyclones finished their innings at 9-164 and Rovers had to negate two overs before the close of play where they finished 0-10. Cassowary Coast had a first innings loss to Rovers who went on to make 9/269. This total was largely due to an innings of 158 off 144 balls by Brenton Edwards, who was the only batsman to show resistance while others fell cheaply around him before he was caught by Kalkat off Kumar's bowling. Kumar and Kempnich both picked up two wickets while McAvoy, Wade Henderson and Kai Henderson chipped in with one wicket each. Over the next two Saturdays on December 7 and 14, Cassowary Coast Cyclones A grade team will take on second placed Atherton at Loder Oval, Atherton in a twoday match which will be their final game before the Christmas/New Year break.

DESPITE the strong north easterlies in close, several boats managed to travel out wide and fish the outer reefs. Although the fishing was quiet through the heat of the day, some very good catches were made of a night and early in the morning. Some very good Coral Trout and Red Throat Emperor were caught by fishing the reef ledges and drop offs. The deep-water shale patches fished extremely well with most boats managing good numbers of Nannygai, Job fish, and the occasional Red Emperor. Closer in around the main reefs it was much the same with reasonable numbers of Coral Trout and Red Throat Emperor being caught. The clos-

er in wrecks and Shale patches didn`t seem to fish that well during the day but there were some reports of Nannygai and Spangled Emperor being caught around the change of tide of a evening. There have also been good numbers of Cobia and Tea Leaf and Bludger Trevally being caught by jigging. From all reports, the shoals in the shipping channel did not fish very well over the weekend. There were plenty of Bludger Trevally but very few Mackerel were caught. I headed out to the islands for a few hours early Sunday morning with Kristina. We found lots of birds working bait schools that were being harassed by Grey Mackerel, and both Mack and Long Tail Tuna around Bedarra Island. We fished the

schools for half an hour but apart from a couple of brief hook ups that pulled out, we were not successful. I am going to swap the trebles on the vibes and slugs to singles. Hopefully this will help solve the hook up problem on the smaller lures. We left the still feeding schools to try for a Spanish Mackerel. We managed one small Spanish and then lost an absolute monster halfway through the fight. Just shows there are still a few big Spaniards about, try trolling Ribbon Fish or floating a live bait for your best chance at these late season monsters. Reports have come in of reasonable numbers of Coral Trout and Grass Sweet Lip being caught around the islands. Catches of Fingermark and Grunter are also improving and prized baits such as Herring and Squid seem to be getting a little easier

to catch. Reports coming in from the Hinchinbrook area have been good with plenty of Grunter, Fingermark and even the odd Jewfish being reported. The early North-easterly really caused havoc with the smaller boats, both in the Channel and around the close-in islands. The Mangrove Jacks have been around in reasonable numbers with some absolute stonkers being caught both in the island and coastal creeks. There have been enough Mud Crabs around to make chasing them worthwhile so take the time to set a few pots. The fresh water reaches of the Tully river is fishing very well at present. The Sooty Grunter and Jungle Perch have been forced down out of the feeder creeks into the main river. The problem is the crocodiles are getting a lot more

numerous so care needs to be taken. They are turning up in places I would never have expected. At this early stage of the week the forecast for this weekend is for light winds with a South Easterly coming in on Sunday night. No doubt the nor easterly winds will cause problems again and will have to be taken into account. Either side of the early morning high tide will suit chasing Grunter in the coastal creeks or the Hinchinbrook area. Those that wish to chase a Mangrove Jack should look at either side of the midday low tide. Hopefully I can get out early on Sunday morning and have another round with the Grey Mackerels and get back in before the North-easterly comes up. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully
