been a social belief that has emerged in Australian society since the 90s (I was informed that was when it occurred) to push people to move into the city to find work. Now that our cities are overflowing currently the opposite push is occurring. “Getting back to nature” is a common catch phrase in cities. The goal is to get people to move back into rural areas. I believe that this needs to happen to ensure that we continue to understand our environment and environmental concerns from a grass roots level. I also believe we need to ensure that we continue to resource and develop our rural areas not just our cities.

LOCAL AFFAIRS

Shootout at the Gumboot – the Protesters Versus CCRC Round Two

SEAN DENT

THE rally against misuse of ratepayers money started limply last Saturday at the Golden Gumboot in Tully. Only about 40 protesters people turned up on a perfect day weatherwise. The crowd was much smaller than the protest in Innisfail two weeks before, but population-wise, that number is not terrible. At the last protest in Innisfail, Councillor Glenn Raleigh claimed he was there, about 100+ metres away from the gathering and said he did not engage with the constituents for legal reasons. This time, however, Division 3 Councillor Wayne Kimberley not only turned up, he offered to face the music and answer questions. Kimberley is expected to run for re-election in Division 2 next March and unlike the pre-

vious election, Tully residents will in part determine if he is to regain his seat. As well as Kimberley, Paul and Julianne Toogood were in attendance, and the lucky few who attended got to see some fireworks despite both sides doing their best to maintain their calm during several acrimonious encounters, during which accusations flew back and forth. The substantive thrust of Kimberley’s time speaking was essentially to reassert the council’s position that no ratepayer funds will be used to pay for the litigation of the defamation suit between James Gott and the Toogoods. This was countered by Fred James, the organiser of the rally, who asked Kimberley to go back to his office and send the correspondence from the insurers saying that they will accept liability for this issue. Kimberley did not consent to

doing that. Immediately following that, a gentleman stepped up claiming to have background in the insurance industry. He didn’t mince words. “I would be incredibly dumbfounded if they were going to pay for this.” It’s a fair point. Insurance companies are notoriously reluctant to agree to guarantee future claims, especially one as complex as this, and council has been less than transparent in providing documentation to back up their assertion that all costs will be covered by the insurance company. Rhetoric, yes, plenty of that. But nothing in writing. Transparency is what the Unity Alliance ran on in the last election, but it is generally recognised as a big problem with this council among the community at large. For example, on Saturday

when a gentleman took the microphone and asked for all current councillors to announce if they were running for re-election. It seemed to be an easy one. Kimberley shrugged and said, “The election hasn’t even been announced yet.” In our business, we call that evasive and is often a sign that someone has something to hide. Note, John Kremastos announced weeks ago that he will be running again for Mayor. The gentleman pushed Kimberley, who then reluctantly stated that yes, he would be running. This is a typical example of how this council communicates, and it is mind-boggling at times that they seem so reluctant to answer even the simplest of questions. They act like hostile witnesses: even getting a yes or no can be difficult. If you tell them they have a communication problem, they deny it.

One lady at the rally spoke directly to Kimberley and pushed a common-sense approach, calling for all parties to drop the proceedings. “I believe that litigation only benefits the legal fraternity. I came here today hoping that there could be some steps toward a resolution,” she said. She too had a point: this litigation is useless. Essentially, the council is paying for James Gott to sue two people “because he is butthurt”, according to one attendee. The Toogoods claim to have no money and two mortgaged houses, so no financial benefit will accrue. Even if the council turns out to be 100% right that the insurance company will pay all costs, Kimberley himself acknowledged the thousands of man hours that are being dedicated to the matter. What’s the cost of that? And what’s the cost to the community in terms

of unrest and dissension? The best thing to come out of this protest last weekend was Kimberley’s acknowledgment that it was a chance for the people to exercise their democratic right to protest. And many people thanked Kimberley for being big enough to stand before them and take it on the chin. It was great to see, and perhaps it will encourage other members of council, and maybe the CEO, to come out from behind their desks. They do, after all, work for us. If you want to see the whole exchange, including a fascinating back and forth about a potentially illegal entrapment attempt, and have an hour to spare, go to YouTube and search for “Tully - Protest RALLY To Save Our Rates From Misuse”.

CARDWELL Local Ambulance Committee will be holding its October Market at Coral Sea Park on Saturday October 5 commencing at 7:00am, with funds raised going towards assisting the Cardwell Ambulance. The theme for this market is The Pirate Market, so just follow the signs to have an enjoyable morning out by the seaside. There will be a treasure hunt, free enjoyment with the laughing clowns where every child wins a prize, delicious ice creams, and Little Axle will also be in attendance. There will be lots of stalls (old and new ones) with the Cardwell Coast Guard cooking up a not-to-be-missed barbeque brekkie. A Sausage Sizzle was held at Cardwell IGA recently and the LAC extends its appreciation to IGA for its donation of food and facilities, and allowing the stall to operate on its premises, and also to Jennie & Mary for their donation of the donut mix. About $750 was raised and the LAC would like to thank the Cardwell community for their generous support. Stall holders wishing to participate and secure a site at the next market should contact LAC Secretary, Rae Page on 40660083 for further information.

Police Honour Fallen on National Police Remembrance Day in Innisfail

MARIA GIRGENTI

QUEENSLAND police officers from the Cassowary Coast Patrol Group and staff marched solemnly up the main street of Innisfail before they gathered with members of the community, family and friends for a memorial service at Mother of Good Counsel Catholic Church to remember and honour their fallen comrades on National Police Remembrance Day. The service commenced with a procession by the clergy, Piper, Ken MacLennan, senior police officers and flag bearers

followed by the singing of the National Anthem. This year commemorates a 30-year milestone for National Police Remembrance Day services, which has been held in regional centres throughout Queensland since 1989. National Police Remembrance Day is observed annually in September as it marks the Feast of Saint Michael (the Archangel), Patron Saint of Police, who was always fighting evil. Father Kerry Crowley welcomed the large congregation and said the life we enjoyed as free Australians had been

shaped by the contribution of these policemen and women who are confronted daily with considerable risk and danger. In the history of the Queensland Police Service, 140 police officers have sacrificed their lives whilst on duty. The day was an opportunity to pause and reflect on those police officers who in the course of duty had given their lives to uphold the law whilst serving the community and the grief and sadness experienced by their families and friends. The Queensland Police Service acknowledged the contribution

Page 4 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, October 3, 2019

and dedicated service of all staff members, former serving and retired officers who had passed away, as well as three Australian police officers who were killed in the line of duty in the past 12 months. Prayers were offered up by Sue McBride, Maria Lago, Mary Savage and Lesley Sapuppo, before Cassowary Coast Acting Patrol Inspector Dion Readman made an honourable mention and acknowledged those serving and retired police officers who had lost their lives in the past year. A Roll of Honour was read by

Peter Williamson, Senior Sergeant and Officer in Charge, Innisfail Station, while Constables Rhiann Millane and Joshua Jopowicz lit a candle as a symbol of the Christian belief in eternal life. A laying of wreaths and floral tributes were made by members of the police service, retired inspector Roy Wall, Ralph Laksa on behalf of Child Safety, Youth and Women, Mayor John Kremastos, Jo Hughes on behalf of Probation and Parole, John Wakefield on behalf of National Servicemen's Association, Brett Ambrum from

Mamu Health Service, Francis Young, SES, Tully Red Cross, St Clare's Women's Church, Tully and QCWA. Detective Sergeant Darrin Padget read the poem, These Eyes of Blue. The Police Ode was read by Graudins-Reid followed by the playing of the Lament by piper, Judith Tannock and a minute's silence. After the Recovery of Flags ceremony and official party procession, members of the congregation enjoyed morning tea and light refreshments at the church parish centre.

150-Year-Old Calophyllum Tree Pruned to 1.5 Metres, Locals Angered

PARKING FINES BEING ISSUED

Be careful when parking your car. CCRC has their best people looking to catch you if you park beyond the allotted time.

the tree. None zero.” The council’s position is that the tree in its current state was a threat of damage to local property. In a press release, the council said: “While the trees might still be alive, the risk of them falling and causing damage means the Council is often forced to take action – even if it’s a tree they would rather not remove.” Councillor Glenn Raleigh weighed in that it could threaten life. “If trees tilt or fall over they can be dangerous to people’s safety. Whenever public safety is involved the Council has to act.” The tree was cut down about 8:00am on Tuesday morning, surprising many environmentalists who’d vowed to block the action via protest, some promising to climb the tree. Mewing said she was lead to believe the pruning would take place on Wednesday morning, giving them time to rally some protesters, postpone the act, and possibly get the tree heritage listed. “The community was not informed prior to the removal, of the date and time this operation would occur. That seemed to be a deliberate tactic,” said Mewing.

THE back and forth saga between the Cassowary Coast Regional Coast and Cardwell residents trying to save the 150-year-old Calophyllum tree adjacent to the Sheridan Street boat ramp in Cardwell is over. This past Tuesday, the council had the tree pruned to just 1.5 metres, claiming this gives it the best chance to grow back upright. Former Cardwell shire councillor and spokeswoman for a group trying to save the tree, Anne Mewing, feels that this could spell the end for the tree, saying the act of pruning “effectively destroyed” the landmark tree, calling it “death by another means”. “These trees are fantastic survivors, they really try,” she said. “However, I think the shoots that regenerate may not provide enough nutrition for it to survive.” Mewing is incensed by the council’s action, “The real reason they want to kill this tree is that for them it is the cheapest option. It is the cheapest option because they give no value to

He couldn’t specifically speak to the Calophyllum tree’s prospects but did refer us to a couple of trees at Tully State School outside the old library building. “Anyone who takes a casual look at the two trees there would not know that 2025 years ago, they were pruned

down to about 1.8 metres.” Copeman went on to say that the region is unique, and many trees will respond and grow back. He said the root system is so deep in these old trees that they have a built-in nutritional system that does not require photosynthesis, and so does not require leaves. “It could be years before it’s a full tree again, but it could grow back,” he said.

DOMINIC MOBBS For a change, a most interesting Local Council meeting in Tully on 26 September 2019. It kicked off with the Mayor disclosing a $50 donation to the Unity Alliance election campaign, which subsequently meant he was unable to chair the meeting while a simple report was being considered that included a reference to the decision stage being reached for the proposed new quarry at Todd Rd., Vasa Views. This proposed quarry has been the subject of substantial lobbying in respect to possible ad-

verse environmental and traffic impacts. However, given the declared conflicts of interest of the Unity team there will be insufficient councillors to form a quorum so this decision will be delegated to the CEO. Council informed CCIN that the, “CEO is still assessing the application” and so no timetable for a final decision can be provided. Councillors will no doubt be pleased to avoid having to be the party that makes the decision on this controversial project. We then had the excitement of the Mayor’s statement re legal costs being filmed for a Face-

book advertisement paid for by ratepayers, as referred to elsewhere here in CCIN. This was followed by Cr. Nolan tabling a motion requesting councillors receive an independent report from Council’s internal auditors on the amount Council was spending on legal cases relating to the CEO’s defamation case, and associated approval processes. This would enable him and all councillors to be fully informed when responding to ratepayer concerns. This motion was supported by Cr. Raleigh. Subsequent discussions revealed that the costing information was already available and regularly noted by the internal audit committee. This could be provided direct to interested councillors without the need for a new report. In a media release mayoral

candidate Macdonald stated that he felt that some of the expenditure, “seems questionable” and if elected would undertake “an independent forensic audit” with a view to “recovering any funds where there has been abuse” and unauthorised and “inappropriate use of public funds”. Then just before the morning tea break a Mr Toogood jumped up to present a ‘Petition without Notice’. Apparently CCRC is one of only two councils in Queensland that allows, under its standing orders, such a petition to be presented. It was signed and supported by 11 ratepayers. This clearly took the Mayor (and the meeting) by surprise. He appeared to be unfamiliar with these rules and adjourned the meeting. After the morning tea break,

the Mayor accepted the petition and Council, except for Cr. Kimberly, voted to receive it and refer it to the “CEO for consideration and a report to the local government.” The petition drew attention to the two council resolutions regarding the paying of legal costs and queried why at the time several councillors who voted in favour did not declare a conflict of interest as potential beneficiaries? By failing to do so, the resolutions were claimed to be ineffective. A report on the recent Red Bull Defiance adventure race was presented. It attracted over 96 athletes plus 80 support members and generated approximately $102,000 in total spend in the local community. This figure is based on very conservative assumptions and was viewed as quite acceptable

for the first year of the event. Council voted to support it for two future years at $80,000 per annum. Following the meeting, open to the public, Council resolved to write-off a $420,000 sundry debtor, almost certainly Hastings NQ. Bizarrely, Council subsequently refused to confirm this even though this company’s name had been regularly disclosed in the Council’s monthly financial reporting package. This write-off will be a book or accounting entry only and should have no negative cash effect. Perhaps any adverse impact of this write-off on Council’s reported operating result will be reversed by a writeback of legal fees?

COUNCL REFUSES TO BACK CLAIM THAT LEGAL COSTS WILL BE 100% PAID BY INSURERS DOMINIC MOBBS Many will have seen the Mayor’s Facebook video and/or read his media statement published in Saturday’s Advocate relating to the legal costs incurred by Council due to the defamation suit initiated by the Council CEO, and associated cases. In these announcements, Council finally acknowledges that its spending has been “considerable” but alleges, “ratepayers will not pay for these legal costs”. The statement contains all sorts of spin and specific phrasings that CCIN will work through, seek clarification on and explain to readers in future editions. However, at this point several issues stand out. Residents of the Cassowary Coast have had considerable experience with insurance companies over the past few years following cyclones Larry and Yasi. Does anyone seriously believe that an insurer would guaran-

tee to pay 100% of future, current and past legal costs with no cap or deductible excess in a situation as complicated as this? Does this proposition pass the common sense test? Does it seem commercially plausible? Hence CCIN requested some evidence from Council to support this claim. Council declined to do so citing “commercial in confidence”. But how hard would it have been for Council to have their insurer publish a simple one-paragraph statement supporting the Council’s claim so as to put this controversy to bed once and for all? Similarly, Council refuses to provide a copy of its legal opinion, if indeed it has one, that it cannot disclose any information regarding how much it is actually spending on legal costs because these are “legally privileged.” Again, simple common sense leads you to wonder why revealing these costs would have any influence whatsoever on the considerations and merits of the underlying legal cases? And if they are legally privileged, why does this principle not apply to councillors and staff who have been informed of the fig-

ures? Are they some sort of special category exempt from the usual rules of legal privilege?

same Cassowary Coast couple the subject of the CEO’s defamation claim.

In the interest of full and proper disclosure, you would have also thought it prudent for the Mayor to reveal to the public when making the media statement that he personally, plus other councillors are benefitting from Council paying their own legal expenses. Particularly with all the conflict of interest disclosure problems that have plagued this Council resulting in several adverse findings from the Councillor Conduct Tribunal.

Expenses were also sustained during a counter defamation case launched by this couple that was dismissed. The judgement in this case can be read on the Council’s website and provides interesting background.

There are many misconceptions about this whole messy business. Council is not just “defending its employees”; the Mayor and several councillors are also receiving legal assistance. Council is not paying legal costs relating just to the CEO’s original defamation case. It is now also incurring costs relating to vexatious litigant and bankruptcy cases, plus making submissions in a criminal case and several Qld Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) hearings, all associated with the

Costs will continue to grow as this whole saga is going to drag on well into next year. CCIN recently attended a Cairns District Court hearing relating to the criminal trial and charges of alleged stalking by the Cassowary Coast couple. From comments made by the Judge it is unlikely that this trial will take place before March and maybe even July 2020. So, as the defamation case cannot proceed until there is an outcome from the criminal trial, it appears the defamation case will not be heard until well into the term of the next council. This could prove very interesting given mayoral candidate Macdonald’s expressed views.

UV light and your eyes ADVERTORIAL

use your health fund benefits before they expire dec 31

An estimated $4.5billion dollars worth of health fund extras goes unclaimed each year, don’t let your optical benefits add to that number.

A pterygium, an uncomfortable growth on the eye, caused primarily by UV exposure. NOW that the sun is finally out, we felt it necessary to talk about the risks UV light can pose to our eyes. The most obvious is skin damage and the risk of cancers such as melanoma. Your eyes are 10 times more sensitive to UV than your skin, even the skin around your eyes is much more susceptible to UV damage than say the skin on your forearm. The Cancer Council suggests Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with 2 out of 3 Australians being diagnosed before they are 70. The second is eye disease, according to Optometry Australia UV exposure has been shown to accelerate the growth of cataracts, a hardening and discolouring of the lens in our eye, this will slowly cause a loss of vision. It can be corrected with surgery, in fact Australians are twice as likely to undergo the procedure than our cousins across the ditch in New Zealand. Excessive exposure also increases your risk for macular degeneration, and pteryg-

ium, a growth that progressively grows across your eye, causing discomfort and eventually affecting your vision. Again, this can be removed by surgery, but recovery can be painful, and they can grow back. But it’s not all bad news, after all the best activities all involve a decent helping of sunshine! It is easier to protect your eyes, and the sensitive skin around them, than you may think. The best protection is a good quality pair of polarized sunglasses. You can buy them from the shelf, with your prescription or even with a reader in them if your distance vision is good, but the finer things in life are getting tricky. The best part is if you have a prescription and health insurance you should be able to claim your health fund benefits! At Innisfail Optical we have over 200 pairs of polarized sunglasses. If sunglasses are not your thing we have plenty of options to help you protect your valuable eyes while enjoying the great outdoors.

Survivors and Carers Invited to Celebrate at Cassowary Coast Relay For Life Cancer Council Queensland is reaching out to Cassowary Coast cancer survivors and carers, inviting them to take part in Relay For Life this month. The 2019 Cassowary Coast Relay For Life will be held on Saturday, October 12 at Pease Park, Innisfail (2 Palmerston Drive), and involves teams of people keeping a baton moving in a relay style walk or run for 8-hours in support of those affected by cancer. Local cancer survivors and carers are invited to take part

in the survivors and carers lap at 2.00pm, as part of the opening ceremony commencing at 1.45pm. Following the opening ceremony, carers and survivors are invited to come together for a special free afternoon tea catered by the Lionesses of Innisfail, to share stories and show support for each other. Cancer Council Queensland CEO Chris McMillan said the survivors and carers lap was an opportunity to unite with others who had been through a

similar experience. “The opening lap is all about celebrating with our survivors and recognising the contribution of carers,” Ms McMillan said. “This special Relay tradition is a time that inspires all participants and reminds them just what they are raising funds for – a cancer free future.” All survivors and carers will be given a sash to wear proudly throughout the ceremony. There is also still time for locals to register to participate

in Cassowary Coast Relay For Life. “One person is diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes in Queensland – Relay For Life enables us to support them,” Ms McMillan said. “With the support and commitment of local Relay For Life teams, volunteers and donors, we can continue to invest in life-saving research, prevention and education programs, and support services.” To take part in the survivors and carers lap, register a team,

Tully, Australia Teenager - Seeks NZ Cow

Maya Threlfall has the winning touch when it comes to parading cattle, having just recently won the 2019 State final for Stud Beef Young Paraders in Brisbane. Now the teenager from Tully State High School has her sights set on competing in national finals (which includes New Zealand) to be held next year in New Zealand in October 2020. However, first Maya has a problem to solve. The competition will be held across the Tasman Sea in Hawke’s Bay, more than 3500km away from her home in regional far north Queensland. To enter the competition, you have to bring-your-own cow. No cow, no compete. Maya and her family were recent guests at the Tully Civic Centre, where Maya was presented with a certificate by Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor, John Kremastos. “Great to see our young people committed and dedicated to their vocation and contributing to our region. Though Council’s Art Deco connections in New Zealand, Council will advocate with our cuzzy-bro NZ local government counterparts to find Maya a cow,” said Mayor Kremastos. Maya hopes to connect with breeders in New Zealand who might be able to help loan her a cow that she can prepare and lead in competition. It’s not the first time good fortune has swung Maya’s way, with mentors and coaches ranging from her popular Tully high school teacher Warren Giffin, through to Peter Chiesa, who owns Palm Creek Brahmans and helped find Maya a cow to parade in Brisbane. Maya was determined to do well with the animal for that

event, even though she only had two days to prepare with it beforehand. “Yeah, I was a bit nervous, but I reckon the main thing in the arena is to be cool, calm and collected. If I’m calm the cow stays calm,” Maya said. “I’ve always loved working with cattle. We train them (through her high school agricultural program) from when they are calves. “For now, I’ll do more region-

al shows to get more practice, then hopefully the nationals next year.” Maya, 16, started in competitions at just 13 years old. In just a few years she has already won awards at the Tully Parade, as well as earlier this year in Cairns, followed by the recent State finals in Brisbane at the Ekka exhibition show ground. Her parents Anne and Ross couldn’t be more proud of

Page 10 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, October 3, 2019

their daughter’s hard work. “It will be a dream come true for her to be able to compete in New Zealand, doing something she absolutely loves,” mum Anne, said. “We’ll be thrilled to just see her in the arena.

New Swimming Grants to get Communities Moving THE Morrison Government is delivering new community swimming grants to enable or improve opportunities for people with disabilities and from diverse backgrounds to enjoy this great Aussie pastime. Working in partnership with Swimming Australia, the Community Swimming Grants Program allows organisations the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $10,000 and has been delivered as part of the Morrison Government’s $28.9 million Move It AUS – Participation Grants Program. Minister for Youth and Sport Richard Colbeck said the initiative aims to make swimming as accessible as possible so more Australians could benefit from sport and physical activity. “Swimming is a hugely popular sport in Australia, and the great thing about swimming is that it can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life, at every stage of life. “Supporting more Australians to get more active more often is a priority for our Government and we’re delighted to be working with Swimming Australia to deliver greater access to swimming and aquatic activities for up to 3,500 people through this program. “Within this program, grants may be used to sub-

sidise the costs associated with delivering swimming and aquatics activities such as entry fees, lane hire or membership fees. “The Morrison Government’s Sport 2030 plan is to make Australia the world’s most active and healthy nation. To do that, we need to break down the barriers that limit Australians from being more active.” The Move It AUS Participation Grant Program is already delivering 62 projects across the country to provide great new ways to get more Australians moving. The Morrison Government has also committed $36.1 million in the Water and Snow Safety Program for water safety initiatives by trusted organisations including Surf Life Saving Australia, Royal Life Saving Society Australia, AUSTSWIM and Laurie Lawrence Swimming Enterprises. Swimming Australia’s Chief of Sport Performance, Matthew Kennedy, said it was fantastic to be able to offer the grants through the Move it AUS campaign. “We are aiming to increase physical activity and remove barriers to participation that will assist in getting more Australian’s moving,” Kennedy said. “These barriers can include cost, transport and

language and cultural differences. “We know physical activity delivers a range of physical and mental health benefits and has a positive flow on effect within communities." For more information and to apply for Swimming Australia’s Community Swimming Grants Program, go to www.swimming. org.au/community-swimming-grants. Who can apply for funding? Organisations with the capability to provide or facilitate the provision of swimming and aquatics activities (including but not limited to learn to swim, water safety, aquatics fitness or play and competitive swimming programs and activities). Eligible organisations may include: • Learn to swim providers • Aqua fitness providers • Aquatics facilities • Swim Clubs • Other aquatics sport clubs (e.g. Water Polo Clubs etc.) • Community organisations • Charity organisations • Councils • Schools • Universities • State or Territory Sport Organisations

Cardwell’s Matthew Brings History to Life Matthew Jackson creates renowned displays of graphics, stories and information to help bring history to life at the Cardwell Museum. He is a volunteer who puts together display boards to depict a bigger and richer picture of historical events from the area, but also North Queensland. Recently Matthew, 29, of Cardwell, was a finalist in the Individual Volunteer category at the 2019 Gallery and Museum Achievement Awards in Cairns. “Matthew has a great talent for drawing out a story, and his displays really enhance the visitor experience at the museum,” says Cardwell Councillor Glenn Raleigh, of the Cassowary Coast Regional Council. “He deserves a big congratulations for his nomination. He was up against some amazing people and to be recognised by Queensland Museums and Galleries for his volunteering work is a great achievement,” said Cr Raleigh. Every year the Cardwell museum has up to six different displays. Museum staff say they nominated Matthew because of display boards he created depicting a pearling ship that foundered in a cyclone off the coast of Cardwell in 1918, killing many of those on board. Matthew will next work on a display to commemorate the achievements of the Coast Watchers from World War II. The Coast Watchers were radio operators who helped protect Australia’s far north shores by keeping watch for enemy bombers and ships that might be heading to attack. The next exhibition ‘Coast Watchers’ will run from October 4-21.

RURAL REPORT

Well the season is rolling along well and now we start to turn our attention to fallow crops. This year we are starting the fallow crops earlier than has been the case over the last five or so years, but with a slightly smaller crop and virtually no rain delays, the season is moving fast, and we are probably looking at planting fallow crops 3 to 4 weeks earlier than has been the case in previous years. The idea of a fallow crop is as old as agriculture, with the soil needing a rest to build up new organic material ready for the next crop. We often call fallow crops break crops for this reason. When one plant type, for example sugar cane has been grown for five or six years in the one paddock, the soil needs a break, so we plant a fallow crop which is a completely different plant type to sugar cane. The microbiology in the soil that goes with each plant type

are different. The most common fallow crops we grow here in Tully are legumes and the most common legume is called a Cowpea and in particular, one called Calypso which can handle heavy rain, which of course can happen over the wet season. This particular legume covers the ground very well and by the time the fallow crop is finished, by next April-May, the soil has had a good rest and plenty of new organic material has been added to the system. Over the past few years we have been trying innovative ways to grow these fallow crops as well as trying new types of fallow crops which are not legumes, such as sunflowers, millets and even some plants belonging to the brassica family, such as radishes. They all do the job of giving the soil a break. One fallow crop system we are using more and more now

in Tully is one we have started calling a low energy or zero till system where the legumes are planted right beside the old sugarcane crop. No cultivation is used to prepare the ground, the legumes are simply planted beside the old cane row which is either sprayed out before or after planting the legumes. When sprayed out after, the herbicide used is one that will not affect the legumes. This means the soil is always covered leading into the wet season and hopefully this system reduces the cost of planting the legumes. Next week we will be running several grower meetings to go through the basic agronomy of fallow crops and what fallow crops seed is available. We do this every year, but this year these meetings are being run about three weeks earlier. For further information please call me on 0400586968

200 Children Celebrate First Goondi State Under 8s Day

MARIA GIRGENTI

OVER 200 children recently attended Goondi State School for a fun and action packed day of activities to celebrate Under 8s Day. Students from Prep to Year 3 along with children from C&K Mourilyan District Kindergarten took part in a fun filled day of interactive activities. School community liaison officer Sheree Walker was instrumental in making the event happen which she said was very much a team effort. Activities included: big blocks, messy play, treasure hunt, play dough, story time, chalk drawings, Oz Bots, bubbles, water play, music, skipping, puzzles, music, threading and nature table. Members of the Innisfail Fire Brigade with their fire truck was a huge hit with youngsters, especially as they were able to get

a close look at their firefighting equipment, as well as helmets and protective clothing. The Mamu Health Service Deadly Choices team also came along on the day and provided fun activities for youngsters. Goondi State School PrePrep Program started last month and will run this term, the year before children commence Prep with any children from outside the Goondi catchment area welcome to enrol. By attending the Pre-Prep program once a week, for a two hour session, children will gain new skills, make friends, become accustomed to school routines and get to know staff. Further information on the Pre-Prep program or enrolments can be obtained by contacting the school on 4078 0444. Under 8s is a day designed to promote student learning and for children to embrace the joy of early childhood with activi-

ties to promote sensory play, as well as the development of fine and gross motor skills. This is the school's first Under 8s Day and hosting the event provided a wonderful opportunity to bring so many members of the community together to share in a morning of learning through play. For 60 years, a week dedicated to Under 8s has been running across Queensland and although it has evolved over time, the purpose is to celebrate childhood and promote the importance of the early years. Under 8s Week has seen many different themes over the years and focuses on involving children in their local community with educational events and activities. This year's theme is 'Celebrating the diversity of languages within the home, culture and community.'

YEAR 6C and 6H students from Good Counsel Primary School recently returned home from a six-day camp at Longreach where they got to experience firsthand life in the outback. Fifty-three students accompanied by four staff and six parents boarded a bus for the long trip via Winton where they had a number of stop-overs and rest stops for morning tea and lunch along the way. This camp has been an annual tradition for 18 years with Good Counsel Primary students having visited the Central West Queensland region since 2001. At Charters Towers, students visited Leahton Park Longhorn cattle station where they were split into four groups and were given a tour on Polaris four-wheeler bikes. While in Winton, they visited Waltzing Matilda Centre

and Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum which is home to the world's largest collection of Australia's biggest dinosaur fossils. Once in Longreach, the group was accommodated for three nights at Longreach Pastoral College and Longreach School of Distance Education. The group explored QANTAS museum, Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and groups, had rides in Cobb & Co mail carriages at Kinnon & Co, as well as attended a comedy show. All students had early morning starts and were required to answer questions in their camp booklet on what they had seen and experienced and history which also involved research. Good Counsel Primary School Principal, Liam Kenny, said the excursion is a memorable highlight of the students' schooling experience. "It gives students an opportunity to experience the Outback as in Inn-

isfail, we are accustomed to a lot of rain and mud, so this trip enables them to experience the heat and dryness. The trip also provided students with an insight into the drought and gave them a renewed appreciation for what they have back home." Having a strong sense of respect and appreciation for the outback is something the students have been actively involved in by running fundraising initiatives within the school for drought-affected communities such as the 'Support A Station' scheme, especially our adopted station – The Hughes Family. Kenny said he hoped their annual visits also contributed to the cash flow within the local economy as students were allocated an amount of money which they spent at local businesses.

South Johnstone Runners Acquit Themselves in HerberTONNE race MARIA GIRGENTI FOUR runners from South Johnstone running group, The Basilisk Runners, recently competed in the HerberTONNE 50km ultra trail race held in Herberton. This was the event’s inaugural year and along with the 50km race there was also a 100km race and 100km team event. Runners set off in cold, wet and

windy conditions from Herberton Historic Village at 7:00am. The scenic and diverse course saw competitors running deep underground into complete darkness of a railway tunnel on the Herberton to Cairns line. Participants experienced shin deep mud on a single track, as well as crossing picturesque creeks all while climbing a total elevation of over 1,500 metres.

The group’s seasoned ultra-runner, Helen Durand, was the first woman and sixth overall to cross the line in a time of 5hr 47min. Neil Bertram was the first Master Man to cross the line in a time of 6hr 24min, while Richard Curzon was the fifth Master Man, finishing in a time of 6hrs 52mins. Tracy Darveniza completed her first 50km race in a time of

7hrs 4mins, placing fourth in the Masters’ division and seventh woman overall. Group member, Darveniza said, "the race was challenging with some sections so steep and slippery, it was more of a controlled slide than a run. The course was very well marked and the volunteers were amazing despite sitting in inclement weather for hours Members of The Basilisk Runners group: Neil Bertram, Helen Durand, Tracy Darveniza and Richard Curzon who recently took part in the HerberTONNE ultra trail race in Herberton on end."

Offseason Football Attracts a Raucous Crowd of 1500

SEAN DENT

RUGBY League made a brief return to the Showgrounds on Saturday with three off-season representative games. It started with the Masters game between FNQ Cyclones and Townsville Pirates, and was worth a look as nearly 30 past legends turned out to play. At the presentation ceremony on Friday night, a few of the players joked that they’d already started stretching for the game, and when driving to the game I heard an ambulance siren but breathed a sigh of relief when it kept driving past the showgrounds. Everyone was still okay. Inside, a decent-sized crowd of several hundred (which eventually swelled to 1500) was already getting their vocal chords warmed up. “Go Johnno,” shouted one. An astonished spectator asked if Johnno was really playing. He was and looked pretty good out there, and was one example of the chance for spectators to relive so glory days of their old favourites. It was a fairly gentle outing at the start, with calls for, “Just grab him” from the Townsville players, a

masters team that plays a few carnivals a year together, as opposed to our mob who as late as Friday night were receiving an invitation for a run out. Nobody wanted to maim anyone, and it had the feel of adults playing with their kids. That didn’t last long though. Over 35 or not, there were some Cyclone players out there who haven’t lost a step, and perhaps wanting to show the A Grade team how it should be done. The speed of hand was also evident, and before the opposition knew what hit them, they were down by three tries and awake to the notion that there were certain players they could not treat like old men. The Cyclones left the field with a tidy win, four tries to none. The next game was an U21 fixture that pit the Qld Italy team against the Northern Pride Development Squad. This had a lot more intensity but lacked the charm of the previous game and almost seemed like an exhibition game to keep the crowd there for the big one at 6:00pm. The final game had all the moves, all the speed, and all the pride you’d expect from a heritage game

that pitted a group of Italians against a group from Samoa. The crowd was into this one and cheered for both sides, with perhaps the louder cheers going to the Italians. Thomas Flegler was keen to play, but he was not allowed by his employers, the Broncos. He was still determined to take part though, and he was one of the yellow-shirted guys running up and down the field with the water for the Italian side. Flegler learned on Sunday that he has been selected to represent Australia in the Prime Minister XV. One top player who did appear for the Samoan side was Enari Tuala, the Cowboys centre, for which he’ll probably get a reprimand when his club finds out. The Italians walked off the field 38-26 winners and the crowd seemed happy enough with that result and very pleased with the opportunity to see some top football during the offseason. Local legend, Shane Muriata, who gave his all in the Masters game, declared it a success even though he didn’t get the try that he’d promised his fans.

Tigers News with Shane Muriata THEN we have two. As the top of the NRL mountain looks to crown the champion Everest climber for 2019 season, it has come down to a David and Goliath match that will be the most anticipated Grand Final in history. Maybe the game has nothing to do with it, but with the 80,000 plus fans that will jam pack the Olympic Stadium on Sunday and who will be doing the Viking clap will surpass both the Sydney Roosters and the Canberra Raiders as the main event. It seems that both teams are just an afterthought, because the ratings will go through the roof at the sight of this once in a life time event. Ok, so enough about that monster clap, let’s talk about how this game will pan out. My opinion is the Roosters have already

played their grand final last week against the Storm, and that the emotional tidal wave that is overcoming every green machine bandwagon riders (me) will be too much for the chooks. It won't be an absolute handing over of the NRL trophy from the boys from Bondi, because this game will still have it all. Let me tell how it will go 1. Josh Papali will play the game of his life and will win the Clive Churchill Medal as best on ground. 2. Raiders coach Ricky Stuart will smash either a window or water bottles. 3. Latrell Mitchell will silence some critics come Sunday night with a GI almost like performance. Last but not least, number 4.

someone will call the fire service late in the second half. The Roosters and the Raiders, who would have ever thought? Green Machine for the flag in 2019. With the Tully Rugby League Football Club having their annual presentation on Friday night at the high school, it was only fitting that the awards were given to players who showed great loyalty this season. North Qld Cowboys players Benny Hampton and Jake Clifford ensured the night was given some star power along with the attendance of Piero Tenni, and it was made even bigger when giant Broncos forward Thomas Flegler dropped in for the night. It was a proud moment for the coaches when they finally had the chance to recognise their players great form. Mamma Jo was extra pleased when Kiana Martin and Rebecca both went home with a trophy. Coach Steven Barrett reminded the audience of his players hard commitment this season when crowd favourite Pauly Ketchell

took home an award. By the time the A grade part of the night came around, head coach Aaron Tongalea had a deserving ride into the sunset of his time as coach when the emotion stuttered his thank you speech. He took the time to recognise club president Anthony Emmi for letting him coach the Tigers, and had tears welling when he gave special mention of good mate Fabian Tauli's service. He will be greatly missed, not by just the club, but yours truly. He has helped me through a lot in our club, and I have nothing but respect for the bloke. Well deserving and long-time player Cameron Vecchio took home the top prize when he was named the 2019 Player of the Year. With construction on the new grandstand still happening at the Tully Showground, the game between NQ Italy and NQ Samoa was always going to be a difficult match to have with limited room. Only problem was that someone forgot tell the

2000 plus people who came to the footy on Saturday to watch legendary dinosaur Ray Archy tear the opposition apart in the masters game. With childhood idol Shane Grainer in town to play, the game couldn't have gone better. Fellow prehistoric players who made a comeback include One Direction frontman, Neil Jarmen, known freak athlete Robert Ketchell and one-time Olympic runner Shane Palmer. The game had it all, with a few clean breaks that were as fast as a snail carrying a

back pack through a banana farm, with most of the players sporting more strapping than the Pharaoh King of Egypt. Obviously, the main game was fast paced and had a few more good looking guys in it, so we will give them their due. For the record, NQ Italy ran away with the game, but the crowd only remembered the spectacle and how good it was to finish footy off in 2019 for our town. Until next year, see you in 2020 with our new grandstand.

Bad 2019 for Tigers Will not Repeat Itself SEAN DENT

SPEAKING as someone who hasn’t always lived in Australia, I can say that sport in Australia is special. It’s about many things: winning, socialising, pride, competing, and friendship. To say that one is more important than another means you don’t understand they all go together like fingers on a hand. The Tigers had a terrible year. They lost every single game and about half of them by six points or less. That’s impossible to do statistically speaking, which had to be demoralising, and yet last Friday night, the 100 or so people in attendance for the annual club presentations at Tully State High School’s

MPC were all smiles as if the season had resulted in a championship. A lot of them were there to receive an award, of course, and there were celebrities in attendance in the form of Cowboys and Broncos players who’d passed through this area on their way to success at the highest level. Emcee, Shane Muriata, another local legend did a masterful job interviewing and giving us insight into many of the attendees, including NRL players, Thomas Flegler, Jake Clifford, and Ben Hampton, and so we got a chance to see inside the life of those at the top of the game. Through the award presentations, we had the chance to pay homage to the boys, the men, and the

women who entertained us throughout the season and get some glimpses into them as people as well as players. Joanne Davis, the coach of the women’s team, the first in our history, talked endearingly about how some of her players didn’t always have the best of performances early on, but still she loved them all, and their growth and development was a source of pride for her. When A Grade coach, Aaron Tongalea, called his various players up to receive various trophies, you could see the affection he had for each of them – there was not a hint that any of them disappointed him. Most notable was when he announced the award for best forward, which went to Fabien

Tauli. This intro took Tongalea the longest because he needed to pause in between words for what was clearly the most emotional part of the evening due to a relationship that, while not always easy, developed into a close bond that was essential to the growth of the team due to the regard the players hold for Tauli. We also got the chance to hear from Peter Narducci, who works at QRL. He spoke glowingly about the growth of women’s rugby which he said, “is absolutely killing it.” He also promoted the growth of heritage football and encourages more players to represent their various family backgrounds even if that goes as far back as where their great grandparents came from.

Throughout it all, there was the requisite amount of sledging for everyone in almost equal amounts – a staple in Australian sports. The most laughs of the night went to Muriata, and it wasn’t even close. He alternated between making fun of everyone else and himself. Perhaps the biggest laugh went to Ben Hampton who was asked Beyonce or Mark Clifford, who would he rather be stuck with on a desert island? He gave it a bit of thought and said, “Well, Cliffo is already my bitch in training, so…” Fans can relax about one thing. When asked would the Tigers be guaranteed to win a game next year, universally the answer was yes. Convince me, I told them, and Muri-

ata told me the reason was because of Player of the Year, Cameron Vecchio. “It’s not just that he’s the best player. He trains so hard that no one will dare put in less work than him, and he’s the best bloke, he’ll talk with anyone and never comes off like he’s full of himself, so he makes you want to play hard with him.” The award for the Club Person of the Year went to Caroline Chadwick, and she deflected the glory and attention in that way she has, dedicating the award to all the people who do the little things for the club that makes it successful, which was perfectly symbolic of the night and the Tigers organisation. Roll on, 2020.

ANOTHER great weekend that reminds you of why we have chosen this area to live. The boats that managed to travel out to the main reefs have reported continued catches of Coral Trout and Red Throat Emperor. There have also been reasonable numbers of both Spanish and Shark Mackerel around the reef pressure points and drop offs. The Spearos have also been doing very well on these species along with some nice Crayfish and Blue Tuskers. The Innisfail Billfish Tournament was held over last weekend. Although late in the season there were several billfish caught and released along with some very good Spanish Mackerel and Wa-

hoo. This time of year is a great time to chase Wahoo, Yellow fin Tuna and Mahi Mahi out wide on the edge of the continental shelf. It seems that the Nannygai numbers have not been at their best over the last few weeks, however it seems the various wrecks are still fishing well but sharks are a problem. Out wide between the outer reefs in the deeper water has been fishing better with mixed bags of Nannygai, Spangled Emperor and some very good Red Emperor. The shale patches in the shipping channel are still producing school sized Spanish Mackerel and the odd Spotty. Nannygai numbers are down but anglers are

catching large numbers of juvenile Red Emperor and some reasonable Grass Sweet Lip. The islands have been producing a mixed bag, mostly Grass Sweet Lip and some nice Island Trout. Those that have been trolling ribbonfish are still catching some nice Spaniards however the Barracuda have moved in and stealing baits. Those jigging are managing the odd Fingermark but are finding good numbers of 3 to 5 kilo Trevally. Golden Trevally are also starting to turn up around the islands. Despite the large tides there has been good numbers of Barramundi and Mangrove Jacks in the creeks and in the Hinchinbrook area. I really like the smaller tides this coming weekend and feel that the lure fishing should be red hot especially on the making tides on Sunday and Monday. There have been some mixed bags being caught in the estuaries mostly Flathead, Bream, School Grunter and Blue Salmon. The Mud Crabs have been scarce however there has been

some very good quality in amongst the few caught. The freshwater is fishing exceptionally well for Sooty Grunter and Jungle Perch along with the odd Barra. At this very early stage of the week the various weather sites are predicting that the wind should drop down to 15 to 20 knots. This will mean that only the large boats will be capable of fishing off shore and that most anglers will be restricted to the estuaries. This is not all bad news; as stated earlier I like this weekend’s tides for the estuaries, those keen on chasing Barra and Jacks should try either side of the midday low tide. Those keen on Grunter should try either side of the evening high tide. Although not super low the midday, low tide will cause some access problems at the mouth of rivers such as the Hull or Port Hinchinbrook. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

Cassowary Spectator at Junior Mini Tri Series Grand Finale SARI HYYTINEN LAST weekend MARCS Park in Mission Beach played host to the grand finale of the very first Junior Mini Tri Series, and Mission Beach showcased its unique character by the appearance of a guest cassowary. “On the ride three children supported each other through (the sighting of a cassowary on the bike section of the Triath-

lon). The lead child on the bike warned the others that there is a cassowary up ahead, pulled up and they all stuck together to get past the cassowary,” said Richard Blanchette the President of the Cassowary Multisport Club. Having a guest cassowary is just one of the unique items when getting involved in sporting action in Mission Beach. “Very unique to Mission Beach

is the sand... If you want a place for youth to ride, the sand is very hard, so it is not a boggy ride,” said Blanchette. Parents are already excited that Junior Mini Tri will occur again next year as it is great to see children from age eight to sixteen showcase their skills in a swim, bike and run. Cassowary Coast Physiotherapy is ready to assist in next year’s events. Throughout the series,

over seventy children became involved with their parents, the ultimate cheer squad. Cassowary Coast Multisport Club is a relatively new club and is always looking for new and interesting ways for the community to become involved in sport. Jeff Coward, the former president of the club, was instrumental in getting the event off the ground. Coward will soon be leaving

the Mission Beach area and has left a positive sporting legacy for the community to continue to develop to bigger and better things. The last of the Junior Mini Series started late because one of the participants had forgotten their bike, and the families agreed to wait until a bike was sourced locally. There are lots of benefits to being part of the club. “That is what these are

about: you don't have to have all the latest gear, you might never have done a triathlon before. In our club, we have got a number of people who have done a lot of biking, riding and swimming. We can help!” said Blanchette.
