CCRC Governance Officer Demonstrates Pattern of Legal Troubles SEAN DENT THE following facts are undisputed. Someone who introduces herself as Michaela Johnstone, age 38, also goes by the name Michaela Whatarau Milner, and she is Acting Executive Governance Officer at the Cassowary Coast Regional Council (CCRC). Charles Darwin University in Northern Territory admitted her as legal practitioner in 2004. She was a lawyer in Northern Territory up till 2008 where for a period she worked as an article clerk at Halfpenny Lawyers. She then moved to New Zealand, her country of birth, and worked for one law firm briefly before moving on to work for Tauranga law firm, Lyon, O’Neale, Arnold around 2010. They considered her a good and competent lawyer. In May 2013, she got stopped by the Tauranga police because she was seen driving erratically on the city’s security cameras. One police officer said, “It’s lucky no one was in-

jured or killed.” He also said, “She went through one red light, got halfway through and realised she had gone through the intersection, threw the brake on and reversed back to get out of traffic.” He said that she later came up so fast behind a car “smoke came off her tyres as she threw the brake on.” She was charged with dangerous driving, refusing to allow a blood specimen to be taken, and driving under the influence of alcohol. Her licence to drive was revoked for 28 days, but in the early hours of the next day, she was caught driving again, wilfully disregarding the law. She was due to appear in court in mid-July, which she failed to do because she abruptly quit her job and fled to Australia days before, in such a hurry that she left her car behind, which was impounded by the police. According to the Court Registry Officer at Tauranga District Court, a warrant was issued for her arrest and it is still active.

In the urban dictionary woke is defined as: “A word currently used to describe "consciousness" and being aware of the truth behind things "the man" doesn't want you to know i.e. classism, racism, and any other social injustices. The term comes from a genuine place but is becoming overused. People mainly use it to sound like deep thinkers when they are really just following a trend.” In my understanding of culture, we have all been brought up to ensure that our own cultural group is thriving, and we inherently understand the importance of community. But sadly, when concepts like becoming ‘woke’ are combined with the excessive use of social media in our modern societies this leads to depression. The depression comes from the inability of the individual to be ‘woke’ enough. When they haven’t received enough likes, shares and messages on their social media page, then they are not receiving the hits of dopamine that they have become addicted to. The other problem with social media is that we no longer spend as much time with people face to face and we don’t get the interpersonal support required when things don’t go the way we wanted them to or expected them to.

*Let us know about events in your local area. Many of our best stories come from residents popping in and asking, “Did you know...”You can speak to us in complete confidence. Don’t be shy.

Increases in depression and social isolation are an unintended consequences of social platforms created by the social media giants. They have intentionally created their platforms to be addictive by ensuring that people who are on their platforms receive a hit of dopamine for being on their sites.The definition of Dopamine from https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320637.php: “Dopamine plays a part in controlling the movements a person makes, as well as their emotional responses.The right balance of dopamine is vital for both physical and mental wellbeing.” Social media and our online platforms haven’t bolstered community and community values but instead has detracted from them. Sadly, by being informed daily of what is happening around the world we can compare the cultural standards in our western societies with the cultural standards in different countries. We can see their struggle. I believe as we inherently are brought up to want to ensure that our own community is thriving and we can see what is happening to our fellow humans we feel that we can assist by ensuring that we are ‘woke’ and by assisting to create more ‘woke’ avenues for society and because we can’t this becomes a factor that contributes to the current increase in depressed. I also believe that we need to go back to grass roots. We need to spend more time in community getting involved with different groups, improving our support of our local industries and get more interpersonal support for the members of our community to reduce our depression.

CCRC Governance Officer Demonstrates Pattern of Legal Troubles Continued from PG1 She was due to appear in court in mid-July, which she failed to do because she abruptly quit her job and fled to Australia days before, in such a hurry that she left her car behind, which was impounded by the police. According to the Court Registry Officer at Tauranga District Court, a warrant was issued for her arrest and it is still active. If she returns to New Zealand, there’s a red flag against her name, and she’ll be arrested. (It’s unclear at this point if she could slip into the country under a passport bearing the name, Michaela Johnstone.) Fast forward a few years and she was living in Northern Territory where she accumulated an unknown number of traffic infringements that she didn’t pay. She left there to come to live here in Queensland and landed a plum job at CCRC. Somehow, the fact that she is a fugitive from justice, that didn’t show up on CCRC’s radar even though, according to documents we acquired from last September signed by Peter Crosby, Chief People and Culture Officer, and the man in charge of HR at CCRC, “Council’s recruitment process (assisted by a third-party recruitment organisation) did ensure due diligence to confirm Ms Johnstone’s qualifications and credentials.” We asked Crosby if he contacted her last employ-

er in New Zealand, which was her last job working as a lawyer as far as we can tell and which was only six years ago. He did not reply. We asked did he do a criminal background check. (The police in New Zealand said that any background checks requested by prospective employers and directed to the New Zealand police would reveal the outstanding warrant for her arrest.) He did not reply. In fact, let’s clear this up here: neither he nor Johnstone/ Milner replied to any of our questions. On September 15, just a couple of months ago, she was stopped by the police again for a random breath test. This time it was on Palmerston Highway, Millaa Millaa. The Northern Territory licence she produced bore the name Michaela Whatarau Milner. The licence had been suspended by Northern Territory Justice because she hadn’t paid her outstanding fines. As an unlicensed driver, she was not allowed to have any alcohol whatsoever, but she had a mid-level amount in her system that was less than .05. On November 12 at Atherton Magistrates Court, the judge suspended her licence for three months and fined her a total of $400 (plus the offender levy of $125.80). It’s unclear whether the judge in the case was aware of her outstanding warrant in New Zealand, or if that would have made him inclined to give her a harsher punishment. That’s a broader prob-

lem, but for us in our community, the narrower problem concerns CCRC and their hiring policies. This is a person who knowingly flouted the law and evaded her court trial, yet she was hired for a position that, according to documents we obtained, states, “The purpose of the position is to coordinate the development of Council’s corporate government systems designed to insure… legal compliance.” At the very least, that should require a person who is legally compliant herself, who does not have a warrant out for her arrest. There’s more to this story, and hopefully CCRC will stop running from our questions. This next part is purely my opinion. A town council is a public trust. We give them money and they are supposed to manage that money for our benefit. Part of that trust is that they answer to us when we have questions. We are their employers, not pestering customers. We have a right to know if they are employing people – especially those whose job is literally legal compliance – we have a right to know that they are legally compliant themselves. We’re not finished with this story. More details were unfolding as we went to press, and we will continue to investigate them and report on them. For now, we’ll give the last word to her last New Zealand Employer: “People always have to face up to these things. They don’t just go away.”

COUNCIL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS THE Cassowary Coast Regional Council (CCRC) recently released their 2019 Annual Report. Ignoring most of the glossy stuff about ‘challenges, opportunities and accomplishments’ and concentrating on the boring figures, the headline number is a surplus, or ‘Net result’, of $61,559. However, after revising for capital items that relate to grants and subsidies tied to specific projects, loss on sale of assets plus devaluations of land, CCRC reported an operating deficit of $1.97m. This compares with the original budget of an $8,000 surplus. According to the Report, this higher than expected deficit was due to lower than anticipated water consumption, legal expenses, a debt write-off and expenses associated with the World Rafting Championships. Water revenue for 2019 was budgeted at a

gross $11.2m but only $10.0m was actually earned. Legal expenses for the year totalled a hefty $963,487 while there was an over $400,000 debt write-off associated with the cancellation of a State lease, likely Hinchinbrook Resort. Other major expense items include spending on consultants $791,859, a 67% increase on 2018 and outlays on contract personnel and services of $6.9m, a 29% jump on 2018. In general, 30% of Council’s total operating expenses of $82.3m relate to employee costs, 36% to materials and services and 33% to depreciation. There were impairment write-downs of $9.8m relating to the Innisfail Sewerage Treatment Plant and Perry Harvey Jetty. These adjustments were booked direct to the balance sheet and had no impact on the income statement. Council had no debt and $53.7m in cash on

hand at year-end, but of this, $49.9m is not available for discretionary use, being restricted, mostly for specific projects. Council had 152 administrative staff and 169 depot and outdoors staff at 30 June 2019. There are 15,691 rateable properties in the region from which total rates, levies and charges of $63.8m was received, very similar to 2018. CCRC has $7.7m in receivables outstanding more than 90 days, of which $7.2m relates to one particular property in default. It has been at this level for quite some time now and must be a concern notwithstanding Council’s ability to sell these properties to recover outstanding rate debts. During 2018/19 Mayor Kremastos received total remuneration of $143,246, Deputy Mayor Kimberley, $89,528, while the remaining 5 councillors received $76,098 each. CCRC has one executive, presumably CEO Gott, in the $250,000 to

$350,000 remuneration band, and 5 executives being remunerated in the $150,000 to $250,000 band. Some $23,062 of materials and services were directly acquired from Larsens Newsagency, associated with Mayor Kremastos, while $5,104 was spent at Cr. Taylor’s Tully Office Supplies, and Council also has an $8,375 commitment to it. Interestingly there is a ’contingent liability’ for future legal costs but no mention anywhere of any possible insurance recovery sums as recently claimed by the Mayor. While the Qld Audit Office issued an unmodified opinion in its final audit report tabled 28 November 2019, QAO indicated that CCRC’s financial sustainability has been assessed at medium risk, as two of the three five-year averaged ratios are outside of the target range. QAO also made some comments regarding the draft original statements provided to them and the version that was finally certified indicating “material adjustments…were required”. Originally, the ‘Net result’ figure was a nearly $450,000 surplus, but the auditors identified some $387,000 in downward adjustments.

Currajah Hotel Motorcycle Show Raises Vital Funds MARIA GIRGENTI OVER 100 hundred shiny and loud motorcycles were on display at the annual Currajah Hotel Motorcycle Show in Wangan where $1,400 was raised for Innisfail Meals on Wheels, as well as $500 and a basket of dog and cat food was collected for Cassowary Coast Paws and Claws animal refuge. There were close to 40 bikes registered in 15 categories and strong numbers came through the gate. Raffles and lucky door prizes were up for grabs, with hot food, games, a sausage sizzle and live music from two bands throughout the afternoon. Winners of the raffle were: 1st: Dan F; 2nd: Callum and 3rd: Mitch and Sue. Each year the bike show committee carefully selects a different

recipient and last year, the event raised funds to support little local battler Armani Mercer who has Metachromatic Leukodystrophy.

Hunt told one local company he needed X amount of concrete for one of their projects. They told him he could only afford half of that and that half of X would be there in the morning. The next day, the full amount of concrete needed was there on site. The contractor shrugged and said, “Must have fallen off the back of a truck, mate.” Ron’s wife, Nancy told a story about how someone said they’d been buying tickets for years and never won a thing. Well, he just pointed to all the things that have been built in our little town thanks to her investment. So, when you go down Butler Street between now and Christmas, or when you go to IGA for your Christmas ham, and you buy a ticket, have a look around the town at some of the work the Rotary has done, and say a silent thank you to the incredibly generous business community that makes it all possible. And remember to buy local this Christmas.

to the businesses to get prizes for the raffle. I’m talking about people who sit in the hot sun for hours on end and sell the tickets. I’m talking about the businesses who donate prizes without a blink of an eye. The cost of administration? Zero. It’s all done by volunteers. The Rotary Club then goes to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council and tells them about a project they have in mind and the council more times than not will match what the Rotary already has. Suddenly those dollars that you gave for a raffle ticket are now two dollars. According to Hunt, they can usually get a government grant that matches the amount raised. Now you have three dollars instead of a dollar, but the Rotary Club is still not done maximising your investment. Hunt regaled us with stories of wrangling contractors to contribute a little bit more than the Rotary Club actually had in their coffers. For example, without revealing the culprits,

GLAM’s Tropical Christmas

ON Saturday November 16, the Tully Country Club became a tropical oasis to host the final GLAM event of 2019. The theme was ‘Tropical Christmas’, and the ladies were all dressed to impress in fashion that reflected the climate, colour and uniqueness of where we live. The 115 guests were treated to home-cooked delights featured in a sumptuous buffet of mains and desserts. Throughout the afternoon, games were played: pin the tail on the donkey, egg and spoon race and a hilarious session of limbo. Competitions were held: best dressed and door prizes. An enlightening and comical message was given by Margaret Hyytinen which resulted in the joyous sound of a room full of women laughing loudly. Ula Uila , also the winner

of the best dressed competition, entertained the audience with a traditional Samoan dance before inviting the ladies to join her on the dance floor. A serious message was given by Tania Devereux on the fastest growing criminal activity in the world – human slavery. This talk resulted in a donation of $910 being generously given by the ladies to the Australian Christian organisation - A21. This organisation works tirelessly at a global level to educate, rescue and reform those affected by this crime. A different charity is supported at each GLAM event to educate and empower those in attendance about the plight of the less fortunate in our world, and how we, in this community, can positively impact others on a global/ local scale.

It truly was an incredible afternoon of female fun, friendship and frivolity that will be remembered by those in attendance for some time to come. GLAM has now been holding women-only community based events in this area for seven years, and has raised over $25,000 in charitable donations. GLAM is promoted and supported by Tully and Mission Beach Family Churches. Individual acknowledgements are difficult to give, however a heartfelt thank you is given to everyone who has contributed in making these events the success that they are – you know who you are, we know who you are, and so does God.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Transparency Now Protest rallies CASSOWARY Coast Ratepayers and Residents Action Group (570 members) successfully held four protest rallies. Our theme was to highlight the alleged lack of transparency and integrity, and the dishonesty and the deceit, emanating from the CCRC. This relates to the alleged improper use of ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funds being used for the personal defamation court case being undertaken by the plaintiff, CEO James Gott. (Our group possess personal correspondence from CEO Gott irrefutably stating this fact, as well as court documents arguing in court this fact) Estimates place this alleged misuse of ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funds at $1.5 to $1.8 million ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars. Our group closely monitor these costs. We estimate $2 million will be reached very soon. CCRC can refute this by allowing access to the legal cost. We conducted a mathematic challenge at the Cardwell rally, and arrived at the $1.8 million dollars using CCRC own budget figures. Our focus targeted the CCRC's unproven, absurd, and highly questionable claims es-

poused by Mayor Kremastos, that council insurers JLT are, and have been, covering all cost associated with CEO James Gott's personal and private defamation issue. Mayor Kremastos emphatically claims to possess a letter from JLT insurers stating they are covering all associated cost of CEO Gott's legal odyssey. Rally attendees as one, called upon the mayor to release this "Phantom Letter", chiding the mayor: "If Mayor Kremastos possessed such a letter, he would publicly release it to vindicate his claims and cease hiding behind his well-rehearsed escape of "Legal Privilege", which is laughable. Those attending generally remarked that CEO Gott as the Plaintiff, instigated the defamation proceedings, and as such, could call a halt immediately to the whole fiasco. The defendants have no rights to call a halt to the proceedings, only the Plaintiff can do this. Those attending the rallies were made aware of this. Many attending said it is difficult to comprehend any insurer would cover past and current cost where the proceedings are pursued in a private capacity, more so, where the plaintiff on his own initiative commenced the proceedings six

months before seeking a passed council resolution to do so. And in fact, these two statements were commonly heard including, the people absolutely do not believe Mayor Kremastos. These were the most mentioned issues raised at all rallies, one major concern constantly raised was the feeling of having their intelligence grossly insulted by the CCRC. And these comments came from some highly legally qualified and learned residents as well. Thank You. Fred James President Cassowary Coast Ratepayers & Residents Action Group Flying Fish Point

How good is our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader? ON the 21st of November, PM Scott Morrison said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increasing our carbon emissions will not increase the risk of the current fire season.â&#x20AC;? He, of course is correct, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or at least maybe not perceivably affect the current sea-

son? What is wrong with such a comment by the leader of our nation? It is shenanigans, it is silly word-play. Shenanigans, because it can be said again next year and the year after and lead to an extended time of inaction on something which requires quick and decisive action. Word-play, because on the face of it, it sounds right...and is right, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the current season, so where did the comment come from? Why utter it? From a national leader, the pinnacle of our society, our nation, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we expect at least nuanced if not erudite, factual and resolved thoughts that give us confidence. Instead, we get a worthless comment about a serious matter. He may as well sit on a railway track, when told a train is quickly approaching, lie down and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect me right at this moment!â&#x20AC;? I for one have had enough of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheques in the mailâ&#x20AC;? government! I want a leader who has depth of thought, proactive behaviour and real initiative. Patrick Murphy, East Feluga

GARDENING IN PARADISE

Bromeliads are easy to grow and many add beautiful colour in their leaves.

Tillandsias are such easy-care beautiful plants

Another great way to use Tillandsias.

The beautiful moonflower.

GARDENERS in our Tropical paradise have had to work hard to try to keep their beautiful plants thriving through this prolonged dry time we have been experiencing. We know that the rain will come, we just do not know when and it is becoming difficult for so many to try to keep their beautiful plants thriving. Deep watering, mulching, providing some shade in the hottest time of day (if possible) are some ways to assist keeping plants looking good in this weather. I usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend watering very late in the day as the water will sit on the plants through the night, causing problems, but while it is so hot and dry, it is good to water late in the day and give the plants a chance to absorb the water before the hot sun begins to evaporate it. Despite this, many fruiting trees such as lychees, dragonfruits, longans limes, avocadoes, oranges and more are happily producing their new fruits and we shall soon have a wonderful feast of tropical fruits! Bromeliads are quite hardy plants to grow in the tropics, and cope quite well in the dry times, so long as they have water put into their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cupsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the centre of the plants. There are many bromeliads that will grow in full sun and others require filtered sunlight or shade. There is such an amazing range of plants in this family and they add colour and interest to the garden. Some also produce stunning flowers while others take pleasure in producing gorgeous colours in their leaves to brighten our gardens. Bromeliads may be grown in containers, using an open mix such as quincan, or in the garden beds, on trees or large rocks, on well-washed driftwood, or even tied to trunks of palms. These plants only use their roots to hold them in position and this is what makes them such a versatile plant to use in many ways. Tillandsias, commonly known as air plants, are part of the bromeliad family and are so very easy to care for either in the garden or as an indoor plant. They may be grown in quincan in containers, or hot glued to driftwood, rocks or even tied on hanging strings to make a tillandsia curtain. They should not be planted in potting mix or garden soil as these can hold too much water and the plants will rot. We have some beautiful Tillandsias in stock at Mitre 10 Garden Centre at the moment. Spray them with a misting sprayer every day or two and if required, immerse in water quickly once a fortnight....make sure these plants never sit in a pool of water as this will rot them. I love to recycle containers such as old mugs, jugs, glasses pans, etc that have a chip or crack and I buy some from op shops or garden centres, etc. to use for these easy-care plants. Have some fun with these and enjoy how easy they are to maintain as they add personal touches to your garden. Another very easy to grow and beautiful plant is the Moonflower vine. This vine is related to the sweet potato and the morning glory, but care needs to taken as they are very toxic and should not be grown if you have children or pets that could find any part of the plant looking good to eat, especially the seeds. The true name of the moonflower vine is Ipomoea alba. These vines will climb up the trunks of small trees or can be planted in containers with support from a trellis for them to climb.

Pinching out the growing tips at the top of the vine will induce more flowering. The beautifully perfumed flowers open late in the afternoon, the long buds start to quiver as they are about to start their slow motion opening, which is amazing to watch, and the 15 cm flowers then open fully and spread their perfume through the garden. Seed pods form after the flowers finish, usually they have two in a pod, and these can be saved for planting at a later time or planted immediately. I know we are all getting our gardens into shape for the Christmas period but I urge everyone to take some well-deserved time out to relax in the shade and enjoy the beauty of their gardens and the wonderful wildlife that love it also. I cannot go without letting you know that we have some stunning new pot plants in at Mitre 10 Garden Centre which will look fantastic in the garden and some very exciting pots, garden ornaments, etc., which would make gorgeous Christmas presents for a loved one...or for yourself! ;) Until next month, Happy gardening,

Childhood Literacy Session Coming to Tully Library Innisfail, and

Fridays; Wongaling

Beach, Mondays. According AAFP,

“research

shows that reading to young children (ages 6 months to 5 years) not only provides healthy together time for parents and children, it also offers many lifelong benefits: Increased vocabulary, curiosity, and memory. Positive associations with books and reading.” If

you

have

young kids or if you’re

expecting

one, drop in and learn how you can help your child get a head start. Even if you don’t have kids, visit your local library. You’re already paying for it and I guarantee you there is something in there for you, and it’s most likely free.

Tully is the Loudest Town in Queensland

IO N

THE Tully Library is organising a Childhood Literacy Session to be presented at its Bryant Street location by Child Health Nurse, Sue Ritchie on Thursday December 5. Everyone who is interested is welcome and encouraged to attend with or without their child. It’s described as a fun, interactive session on the importance of early literacy - followed by stories, games and morning tea. If this one goes well, it may be presented at the other libraries in the area. The libraries of our region have been on a bit of a tear lately. For one thing, they’ve extended opening hours so that more people can take advantage of the resources. If you haven’t been to the library lately, I highly recommend you stop by and see what they offer. Your rates are paying for it and they have so much going on these days beyond the borrowing of hard copy books. Before you start yawning and looking at the next story, do this for yourself. Stop thinking of the library as a place to borrow books. I don’t even have a good way to describe a place where you can have entertainment, education

and research in so many formats, many of which you don’t even have to go to the library for. For one thing, it’s an art gallery with some valuable pieces of work on the walls. In the Tully library, you also have access to a historical room where you could spend hours looking at old journals and artefacts. Throughout all the libraries, you can access free WiFi; rent e-books, CDs and movies; use Ancestry.com to learn about for family connections and stream movies at kanapy.com. You can also get access to online learning courses at Lynda.com (a LinkedIn company), access to which normally costs $39.99/month. Most of these services are free. The libraries have also been offering weekly Tech Savvy courses, covering a wide range of subjects. The courses take place on Wednesdays at 10:00am in the case of Tully Library, and there are still a few coming up. Next Wednesday, for example, Learn your Digital Library is next week, and that’s how you can learn to turn your iPad into an online resourse and access the services we mentioned above. If your closer to Cardwell, the sessions take place on Thursdays;

Staff at Innisfail Police Station Get Behind QPS Christmas Foodbank Drive FOR the third year, Queensland Police Service are partnering with Foodbank Queensland to collect food for families experiencing hardship over the Christmas period. Last year, over 50 police stations registered as drop off points and collected 7.88 tonnes of food for Foodbank Queensland to assist needy families. Foodbank is a non-denominational not-for-profit organisation which acts as a pantry. Local charities can approach for food to provide to families in need. This year’s food drive which was officially launched at QPS Academy by Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll earlier this month will focus on the devastating effects of long-term drought on our farmers and graziers. Carroll said this year the state has been heavily affected by weather disasters such as droughts, fire and floods, and our farming families are still recovering from these events. "A total of 81 police stations have registered as drop off points for this year's Food Drive, and with the assistance of members of the public, we hope to raise eight tonnes of food and spread Christmas cheer to those doing it tough."

Innisfail Police Station has reg- ters and very much appreciat- received after Cyclones Larry the local community will rally cause. istered to participate and is one ed all the help and donations and Yasi, so we are now hoping together to support this worthy of the drop off points for the food drive which will run until Sunday, December 8. Collection boxes are also located at the Innisfail Courthouse, Woolworths, Coles, Chemist Warehouse, Innisfail Baptist Family Centre and Innisfail PCYC. Donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, baby items, laundry items will be greatly appreciated, and to find out what other essential items are required please visit www. foodbank.org. au. Innisfail is no stranger to Innisfail Police staff Constable Josh Jopowicz, Leah McInerney, Annette, Police Liaison Officer Stacey Kneubuhler and Sandy Lewis are participating in this natural disas- year's QPS Christmas Foodbank Drive

December 2019 GIG GUIDE

GIG GUIDE December 2019

Gigs

& Interests By Mel Bowman-Finn

Check this months Gig Guide to get in the spirit, as we have included dates by our locals who go to the trouble to organise a visit from Santa and host Christmas celebrations across the Cassowary Coast. When it’s time to come together with family and friends, this region never disappoints

and there are plenty of opportunities to take the kids along to a family event in full Christmas cheer. In the New Year the Cassowary Coast Independent News look forward to launching their online version of dates and events, which you can already access on their app. This electronic version will be getting better and better as 2020 opens into a prosperous new year. In the meantime, check this month’s gig guide and make some plans for holiday festivities and your New Year’s Eve shenanigans.

Mission 2 Dance Wow Young Fans SEAN DENT MISSION 2 Dance, a local notfor-profit dance school run by Charmaine Billing, hosted Once Upon a Dream, a dance show at the Tully High School MPC last Saturday, bringing in a crowd of over 250 people, nearly half of which appeared to be kids. The Tully Lions Club provided plenty of food and refreshments for the families in attendance. The ticket instructions stated that children under four years of age were allowed in free but had to be seated on their parent’s lap. Good luck with that idea because the dancing bug seemed to hit many of them, and they couldn’t sit still and often danced along with the performers. The show went from just after 6:00pm up till 9:00pm, offering great value for the $23 ticket price, but just try keeping a four-year-old on your lap for that long at a dance show. Billing wasn’t complaining. She loves the effect that dance has on people and it was what drove her to open her own dance school when she moved up from Sydney four years ago. “I looked around and they had football and netball, but no dance.” Her town had to have dance, right? The show provided a lot of variety from hip hop to ballet and everything else along the musical spectrum. There was aldo a range of ages from tow and a half years old up to the age where wome stop telling you how old they are. Okay, the really young ones struggled a bit with the discipline, but that’s to be expected. The challenge at that age is working in sync with other dancers on the stage. It does, however give them good experience of performing in front of hundreds of admirers, including parents filming every adorable step and twirl. The costumes were simply stunning; clearly a lot of work went into custom-making each

of them. The Harry Potter ensembles and the red dresses with the chequered were both eye-catching and coincided with two of the best performances on the night. You might assume that they were the biggest cost of the event, but Billing said that between sponsorship and the hard work of parents, that cost was relatively low. The real big-ticket item was the dazzling sound and lighting, she said. “It cost about $4000 but Ben (Reichardt from Cassowary Coast Audio & Lighting Solutions) provided probably about $8000 worth. I wanted to show them what we could do, and that was a big part of it.” It probably didn’t surprise many that there were very few boys or men among the dance troupe, and honestly, the level of talent among the girls and women outshone their male counterparts on this night. Some of girls were absolutely spectacular, in fact. It goes without saying that it takes guts to walk out onto a stage. It takes a fair amount of confidence to put everything out of your mind and just be there in the moment, alone with the music and the floor beneath your feet. Many of the numbers were technically challenging, demanding nimble movements in time with both some very upbeat songs and the movements of their partners on the stage. I would imagine these are the ones that the choreographers worry the most about, and rejoice the most over when the dancers pull them off flawlessly, which most did on this night. Two people Billing singled out were Mrs Timms, a fifth grade teacher who helped her a lot and Haylee Brown, a young lady and wonderful dancer who Billing said she could not have done this without. She started to say how much her husband Rob contributed, but he quickly shut her down, saying this was all down to his wife.

The day is aimed at highlighting the wonderful work done by farmers on-ground using environmental practices to improve sustainability and lessen their environmental footprint." Peter Becke District Extension Officer Innisfail from Wet Tropics Sugar Industry Partnership had information on Whole of Farm Nutrient Management Planning program to assist farmers with streamlining nutrient use. Project Catalyst is an innovation project for sugar cane growers that supports them to develop, trial, adopt and validate the next generation of farm management practices with a focus on tailoring inputs such as fertiliser rates to site-specific growing conditions. Rob Mayers Reef Extension Officer from Australian Banana Growers' Council, the peak industry body spoke about the 'BetterBunch' app, a time-saving device which assists growers to record and retrieve information about their farm practices. The Banana Best Management

Practices (BMP) Guidelines are a valuable resource for all banana farming businesses as it features detailed information about soil and nutrient management. A free sausage sizzle and cold drinks were available all day and extension staff and representatives from the cane, banana and pawpaw industries were on hand, as well as agribusiness banking staff. Native plants were on sale for $2 at Johnstone River Catchment Management Association stall and information encouraging all farmers in the Cassowary Coast region to engage in riparian revegetation on drains, creek beds and near headlands to improve catchment areas. Industry stakeholders included Australian Banana Growers' Council, Innisfail Canegrowers, Innisfail Babinda Cane Productivity Services, Sugar Research Australia, Terrain NRM, Johnstone JRCMA and WTSIP. Innisfail Canegrowers especially wished to thank Bunnings, Honeycombes Innisfail, Snapping Tours, Fruit Forest Farm and Frankland Island Reef Cruises for their support and generosity with lucky door prizes.

“It is a really magic place and quite often there are turtles in the water around there and sometimes they are in large numbers. There are good coral reefs off the Island, and you are allowed to snorkel and anchor off,” said Dickson.

Innisfail Celebrates National Agriculture Day

disturbance is a real problem for them,” said Dickson.

LAST Thursday, farmers and members of the local agriculture sector took time out to celebrate National Agriculture Day at ANZAC Park in Innisfail, with a number of industry stakeholders providing information on the exciting work taking place in local farming sector. Organised by Innisfail Canegrowers, this is the second time it has been held and National Ag Day encouraged people to support food producers that contribute so much to our economy, culture, and most importantly our tables. This year's theme was 'We Are Australian Farmers' in celebration of the shared values of all Australians, whether city or rural based to better connect all Australians with agriculture and the people involved in the industry. The day also provided an opportunity for members of the community to gain an insight into the different organisations that support jobs and careers in the agricultural sector beyond the farm gate. According to last year's Cassowary Coast Regional Council annual report, agriculture is worth close to $460 million to Mulgrave Mill the region each year, and with MSF Sugar’s Mulgrave Mill commenced crushing on 20 June.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Feluga State School Fundraising Committee presents $2000 Cheque to Tully Hospital SEAN DENT LAST week Feluga State School Fundraising Committee presented a cheque for $2035 to the Tully Hospital Foundation as part of a promise it made at its recent Splash and Dash fundraising event, a spectacular day of fun that raised over $6000. One member of the Feluga State School Fundraising Committee, Lisa-Maree La Spina, told us at the time that although the school itself would be the main beneficiary of the money raised on the day, as a pillar of the community, they planned to share some of it too. “We have decided to donate 30% of the profits raised from

the event to go to the Tully Hospital Foundation,” she said. Friday November 15 was the day of the handover and according to Christine Boric, Treasurer at Tully Hospital Foundation (who was in attendance at the Splash and Dash), it was an exciting day for the Tully Hospital Foundation members. “The Hospital Foundation members are very grateful to the school for their generosity as this allows us to fund equipment for the Tully Hospital. All funds raised by the Tully Foundation are spent here at the Tully Hospital,” she said. She went on to point out that despite the support hospitals get from the government, it’s not

enough for the sophisticated needs of a remote rural hospital. “Many people ask why we need to buy equipment that the government should supply. The reality is they do not supply all that is needed and sometimes they supply a very basic piece of equipment, which we can add the funds for an upgrade to make life a little easier for our hard working nurses and doctors.” Boric thanked the Feluga State School P & C for its generosity. The Splash and Dash event was one of the more successful fundraisers from the point of view of the number of people who attended (about 250) and definitely in terms of the fun it generated. Considering

that this was the first year they did this event, it’s hard to imagine that it won’t be even more successful in the years ahead. It may even raise the profile of the school. Feluga State School opened in 1927 with 25 students. By 2018, it had grown to 40 students, but this year it is up to 47. After speaking with a couple of the parents, it seems not all the kids there are local. Parents outside Feluga have heard such glowing reports about the school that they send their children there even when closer schools are available, with some children coming from as far away as Tully. One parent we spoke to said it wasn’t outside the realm of possibility

that they will soon need another classroom.

Mundoo State School Year 6 Graduates MARIA GIRGENTI THE school year got off to a busy start at Mundoo State School with Sebastian and Hayden joining with Year 6 students from schools in the Canecutter Cluster at the GRIP leadership conference in Cairns. Both students then delivered their leadership speeches before being duly elected as school leaders. Throughout the year they also assisted with

sports days, coordinated Under 8s Day and ran weekly parades. Each term the students coordinated fundraising events to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes such as cancer research, Bullying No Way, and Daffodil Day for Cancer Council Queensland. Year 5/6 student council has also been busy selling frozen cups at tuckshop during lunchtime to raise funds for the purchase a cold water bubbler which will be welcomed

during the hot summer months. Year 6 students will join other students from the cluster schools at Innisfail State College for a full day of junior secondary orientation on December 3 to experience a typical day at high school in preparation for Year 7. Students are looking forward to their Graduation dinner at Roscoe's Piazza on Thursday, December 5 and Awards presentation on Wednesday, December 11 starting

On December 13, the last day of the school will see students take part in annual inter-school sports carnival where Stingers and Snappers teams will be vying for bragging rights to hold up the new trophy. There will also be fun activities such as an obstacle course, ball games, egg and spoon races, water balloon throwing contest and highly anticipated tug-o-war between teachers and students.

THE third annual Mourilyan Mud Run held at Castor Park, Mourilyan was again a huge hit with close to 200 participants, most of these children tackling the obstacle course and getting dirty for C&K Mourilyan District Kindergarten. It was made extra special as the Kindergarten also celebrated its 50th birthday milestone with a lolly drop for children by Liddle's Aerial Spraying. The Mud Run was designed for children aged three and a half to 12 years and promoted fun, participation and physical activity. The event was not a race, no times were recorded and no prizes were given for winning, but each child who completed the course took home a special medallion and participation pack after their first lap.

Participants tackled obstacles of varying difficulty throughout a new and improved course which included water balloon sling shots, mud pit, tunnels and lots of gooey tubs and tanks to wade through. Many parents and guardians also got muddy while others participated as little or as much as they wished while they accompanied their child for the entire run. Event organiser and kindergarten director, Jo Charlwood said she was thrilled to see so many children and adults taking part, having lots of fun and appreciated everyone who attended and supported the kindergarten over the past 50 years. C&K Mourilyan District Kindergarten is a community based, notfor-profit kindergarten for children aged 3 to 5 years and funds raised on the day will be used to pur-

The successful event would not have been possible without the generous support and assistance of GMR Chiropractic, Mourilyan State School, Mourilyan Police, NESA, Sinton Constructions, Auto Logistics NQ, Fiorito Bananas, Cassowary Coast Banana Growers' Association, Goondi Scout Group, Midway Butchers for providing half of the sausages, Mourilyan Café for supplying chips, Woolworths and Coles for gift cards, as well as all kindergarten families who donated food.

Lenoy Helps Young Tennis Dreams Come True MARIA GIRGENTI

The Innisfail Thunder junior cricket team who took part in the Jimmy Maher Cup in Innisfail on Saturday

Junior Cricket team Just Falls Short

OVER the weekend, Innisfail Thunder Blue junior team fell 11 runs short of a two-game winning streak in the Jimmy Maher Cup with a narrow loss to Mulgrave White. After defeating Rovers last week, the team was looking to continue their hot form with a win on their home turf. Mulgrave won the toss and elected to bat and when Isaac Darveniza (2/31) struck early Innisfail looked good as Mulgrave were 5/61. A lower order partnership saw Mulgrave put on over 100 more runs to finish all out for 163 in the 30th over, with Josh Broccardo, Thomas Herbert, Callum Scullen and Jayden Giddins also picking up wickets.

In reply, Innisfail lost skipper Herbert with the score on 7, before a fantastic 86 run partnership between Amandeep Singh (39) and Giddins (60 N/O) put Innisfail in great stead to chase the runs. Giddins then shared a 47-run stand with Anthony Spataro (14) before Spataro fell with the score on 140. Despite a great chase, unfortunately, Innisfail fell just short on 7/152 from their allotted overs. This was Giddinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second consecutive 50 and he now averages 52 in the Jimmy Maher Cup Blue and is in the top five of the competition for both average and aggregate.

DREAMS recently came true for 25 local Indigenous students in Cairns when world number one tennis player Ash Barty and former world women's number one Evonne Goolagong Cawley made a surprise visit and players were lucky enough to learn tips from the two tennis champions. Barty, the French Open champion and Indigenous tennis ambassador returned to Australia after the China Open, alongside her friend and 14-time Grand Slam champion Goolagong Cawley. It was a smash hit for the group of aspiring young players who participate in year-round tennis programs in Far North Queensland. Barty and Goolagong joined players on court for one-onone tennis lessons at Edmonton Tennis Club before heading to Bentley Park College to be part of a Wuchopperen Deadly Choices Healthy Lifestyle seminar, where they also took part in an ANZ Tennis Hot Shots workshop with hundreds of students from the school.

SHANE MURIATA

IF there was a time to make a footy comeback this year, then Saturday night had the fever when some legends of the past came back together at Barlow Park and turned it on when the NRL Legends narrowly defeated the FNQ All Stars. I remember the night when Rocky Balboa came out of retirement to box an up and coming world champ (ok, he’s real to me) well, this was that, but times a hundred. Names like Cliff Lyons, Noel Goldthorpe, Mat Bowen, Ben Hannant and Willie Tonga all flew the NRL flag while the FNQ had its own embarrassment of talent. The Tassel brothers and one of my childhood legends.

M a d e

Yarrabah’s Leon Yeatman all made an appearance, but the night belonged to our beloved Tigers who carried the black and gold flag proudly. Aron Ketchell, Joel Riethmuller, Legendary front rower Craig Teitzel and brothers Matty and Jonny Clifford all turned out to give the FNQ side a real boost. Speaking to Scully Ketchell during the week, he could not hide his excitement about the game that brought all his footy mates back together. “It was one of the best footy reunion, and the game was just a bonus for us to get together again. Once you play this game, the memories and mates never leave you.” So there you have it, a night to remember for our legends,

and a game to celebrate friendship and family. After much thought, many sleepless nights, binge KFC eating and some soul searching, I have decided to write my first ever critic column for the paper to give an opinion of my dissatisfaction of the annual Billy Slater Primary School League Tag Carnival that happened last Friday at Callendar Park, Innisfail. First of all, I will say a huge congratulations to the organisers of the event, NRL DO, high school students who refed and the 200 plus students from all over Nth Qld who converged on Callendar Park to make the day a massive success. The parents who made the trek to organise lunch-

C o m e b a c k

es, the teachers and staff who coached our future superstars, thank you for your time on League Tag Day. So where was my criticism going to go you ask? Well, this one will be directed at you, Billy Slater. I have attended the past nine Carnivals since 2011, and in that time, I have only seen the former Melbourne Storm superstar attend once. Year after year, we have to explain to our students that Billy cannot come because he is a very busy man, well, no more making excuses for me. Every November, I watch kids turn up with their posters, hats and cards, and every year they are let down. If he missed one or two since the first one, then yeah, we could forgive him, but that’s not

the case here. As a school, we get the privilege to attend many carnivals that are name in recognition of a sports player who have made a valuable contribution to our region. Ty Williams, Nate Myles and Laurie Spina have all been given the chance and honour to give something back, which they have done so greatly in the past by attending their carnivals in Ingham and Gordonvale. If there is an opportunity to change the name of this carnival to maybe the Scott Bolton

League Tag carnival, then that’s the band wagon I will happily jump on and support, then maybe we won’t have another nine years of disappointments. Billy, if you’re reading this, I have believed in you when our Origin team needed you, I have supported you when you played for Australia and the Storms, but I can’t stand by and let you disappoint these kids anymore.

ANOTHER weekend of reasonable sea conditions resulted in many boats travelling out to the islands and beyond for fishing. Because of the Coral Reef Finfish closure the reefs were off limits so most boats targeted the Pelagics. Some very good Spanish Mackerel were caught by fishing the various scattered shoals through the shipping channel. The new Jackson G-Control has fast become the gun trolling lure here, however several Macks also succumbed to the humble pilchard floated out the back of the boat. After talking to local Mackerel Guru, Laurie Isokangus, we are convinced that the Spaniards stay around feeding on the schools of small Mack Tuna which

are present at this time of year. I will have to catch a couple of these small tuna and rig them up and troll them around, I’m sure they will make gun mackerel baits. Closer in around the islands most found the fishing a little tough. There are always a few Spaniards still to be found inshore however I didn’t hear of any caught over the weekend despite the great conditions and ideal tide. The Grey Mackerel were also scarce, there are a few Greys around, but they have not been consistent so far this summer. There were some nice Fingermark and Grunter caught from around the deep holes and ledges around the Family Group of Islands and Hinchinbrook Channel. My brother Peter managed a 65 cm. grunter on a soft vibe while targeting Fingermark, a

very unusual catch. However, with the popularity of soft plastics these catches are becoming a lot more common. I spent a couple of hours successfully targeting Mangrove Jacks in the Hinchinbrook Channel last week and caught four grunter, all on a soft plastic prawn imitations. Virtually every luring trip in the estuaries, I am now catching grunter. Small soft vibes such as the 69mm Jackson Quiet Beats are probably the stand out grunter lure, however they will also work very well on other species such as Flathead and Jacks. As stated earlier there are plenty of Mangrove Jacks in the creeks at the moment, they often prefer smaller lures so downsizing can also allow you to target welcome by catch and to help discourage the out of season barra. Tarpon are another great sportfish which we

find in the estuaries during summer, they are great fun to target with small lures such as soft plastics, vibes and small poppers. Although almost impossible to eat, they do make a great bait to troll for Mackerel. At the price of ribbon fish they make a great alternative. The mud crabs have not been numerous; however, those in the know have been quietly managing a few nice bucks on a consistent basis. The upper fresh water reaches of the coastal creeks have been fishing extremely well for both Sooty Grunter and Jungle Perch. Take extreme care when releasing these fish and where possible try swapping the trebles for single hooks, this makes releasing fish a lot easier. At this very early stage of the week the weather forecast is for light winds again this weekend. This will hopefully allow boats

to travel out to the main reefs or even wider to the edge of the continental shelf. Talking to Mark Parks, a Townsville Game Fishing identity, there have been some sizeable Black and Blue Marlin hooked wide of Myrmidon reef. Myrmidon is located right on the edge of the continental shelf. For those that prefer to fish in the estuaries, the early morning run in tide on Saturday and Sunday will be perfect to target Mangrove Jacks. Either side of the evening low would be when I would be fishing for Grunter or Fingermark in the deep holes or along the drop offs around the islands or in the Hinchinbrook channel. The tides and conditions look good, so I will see you out there. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

Biggest Day of the Season for Bowlers at Tully Invitational Fours SEAN DENT

SIXTY-FOUR bowlers visited Tully Bowls last Saturday for the Tully Invitational Fours, and they came to play. Rod Bradley, who organised the event along with Rita Pezzutto told us he’d won four of his five matches but chuckled when we suggested that should get him in the top three. “No, we’d need five wins to crack that list,” he said. The field was good just like it is every year for this event. He wasn’t wrong. His team accumulated 63 points, good enough for fifth place, but they needed 70 to get in the prizes. The big winner was

Steve Martin’s team from Cairns with 72 points, a mere half an end ahead of Tony McAlary’s team from Cairns, who scored 71.5. During the presentation of the prizes, Shane McInerney (whose team came third with 70 points) took the time to point out that McAlary had individually played the best bowls in the past few weeks that he’d ever seen in his life. A lot of eyes were on one star player considered to be the best bowler in the area by far, Andrew Hansen, but his team had a disappointing weekend, finishing way off the pace at 51 points. Still, he seemed happy to be there and was sure he’d be back.

Teams travelled from pretty far for the event, including Townsville, Cairns, Innisfail, Ingham, Mareeba, and South Johnstone. The prestige of the event alone attracts the best players, but there was also some good prize money to lure them in. Even the lowest prizes were $40. Good for petrol money, I suggested, but one wag jumped in and said, “Or beer money!” Looking around the packed bar, it did look like such an occasion. Bowlers are not allowed to have beer on the green, so when the day’s play is done, they head to the bar to catch up with friends they may only see once or twice a year.

There were still 80 or 90 people in the bar at Tully Bowls a good hour or so after the play ended, which especially for people from Townsville and Cairns is usually a sign that they’re in no rush to leave the party. There were also prizes for the best Saturday and Sunday performances, which went to Thomas Garate’s team and Malcolm Bright’s Team respectively. When the play was over, Bradley spoke wistfully about the game itself, wishing they could attract more younger players. “They think it’s a game for old people, but occasionally some younger people

come for a game and realise it’s not as simple as it looks,” he said. He spoke for a while about strategy, about spin, about the effect of wind and even clouds on the turn of a ball, and discussed the benefits of playing with either hand. He hopes more kids will give it a try and said they’d be welcomed. As the prizes were handed out, Bradley took the time to thanks the sponsors from Tully Supa IGA, Tully Sugar, Morris Milk, and Airborne Group. He also thanked Tully Bowls for their hospitality and Val Bradley for her diligent scorekeeping all All the Winners weekend long.
