The granite belt is dying. Enjoy your cotton for Christmas lunch instead of delicious stonefruit, apples, veges and wines from the region.” When scrolling through the comments there were very few that question the facts. I feel that is problematic as we continue to witness social division and there are people willing to tell lies to support their own opinions.

LOCAL AFFAIRS

Transparency Now Group: That’s Our Money and We Want It Back SEAN DENT

THE Transparency Now Protest Rally at Jack Fossey Park in Innisfail last Saturday attracted a lot more protesters than the Cassowary Coast Regional Council expected. Young and old, residents and ratepayers made up the throng, and they came from up and down the coast, including Mission Beach, Tully, and Cardwell. It appears to have rattled the council, with the Mayor responding defensively to some of the protestors’ claims in his most recent Mayor’s Column. Councillor Glenn Raleigh claimed he was in attendance and said he nearly “burped on his burger” at what was said, but no one sighted him at the spot near the fish’n’chip van where he claimed to be standing even though petitioners were there collecting signatures. The petition appeared to have captured more the 300 signatures from attendees on the day alone. Although other issues were raised, he thrust of the rally was that ratepayers do not want to pay for CEO James Gott’s legal fees. Protestors carried signs demanding for example, “we want Gott gone”, “Rates for roads, not CEOs”, and “Gott’s gotta go”. Many attendees asked Fred James – the main speaker and the principal petitioner for the online petition – for the microphone so they could tell their personal story about various council complaints. The dissatisfaction was not just about the matter of legal fees being paid on Gott’s behalf. James Scullen, formerly manager of information services at the council, spoke of his 38 years working for the council, plus more than 150 years of service to the council from his family, and then getting suddenly fired on the spot one Friday in 2017 even though he had a contract in place for another four years. Another speaker seemed fearful of giving his name. He was told by the council he could have as many dogs as he liked on his land. He proceeded to adopt another dog, and was then told he owed the council $406 by end of week or there’d be a $1000 fine. He was afraid to complain for fear they’d rezone his land, and said they reminded him of a crime gang from his youth. Tony Buzolich, who was a councillor in 2000,

came to Innisfail 60 years ago with nothing, and said he had the shire in his heart, and was disconsolate that the council was sacking local workers and replacing them with people from Townsville and Cairns. Bill Honeywell, expressed concern with the total disregard by all Councillors regarding the rum distillery they’re building in Bingil Bay and the effect it would have on the local water supply. Bonny Bauer expressed a quiet outrage about Castaways which was given two years’ free rates and free development applications in its attempt to build a five story premises. “We don’t have the money to fund grandiose schemes for those that do have the money,” she said. She also spoke of management in council with large salaries rocking in from Cairns and Townsville at 11:30 Monday mornings, and taking off by smoko Friday afternoon. Neville Goggi spoke about the various problems in his home town of Cardwell, and supported the idea of ousting the current council come election time in March 2020. The overall theme brought to mind a common refrain from people in the region when asked their opinion of the council: “They don’t care.” The metaphor of the day went to James, who remarked, “I know it’s hot in the sun, but not as hot as we’re going to make it for the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.” He thundered on. “We’re here today because they’re using our money illegally and it’s up to us to get that message out there. This is just the beginning. We will move mountains to get rid of James Gott. We are demanding that the government appoints an administrator to get rid of this corrupt mob, and to undertake the necessary procedures to recover our money. If it’s $1.5 million or $1.8 million or $970,000, I don’t care. That’s our money, and we want it back.” James further said he’s going to support “any candidate who steps up to be elected in 2020 on a platform of pursuing James Gott and of taking out an injunction against Gott so that he cannot access his salary or his superannuation, and to put a freeze on his house till we get our money back.” He invited Gott to defend the matter, saying he’d

go broke in the process. James then called for new candidates to present themselves, with an emphasis on female candidates. “Where are the women?” he called out. “We need women to step up and be elected. We need balance in this council. We need good people, honest people, and caring people. That care for you, and not just for themselves and their friends.” He ended by calling for everyone to get on Facebook and join the Cassowary Coast Ratepayers and Residents Action Group, which he plans to incorporate so they can create a small fighting fund to advertise future endeavours. The next rally has been scheduled for Septem-

HILUX RUGGED X

ber 28 at 12:30pm at the Golden Boot in Tully. There will then be another rally seven days later in Cardwell, and then a week after that in Mission Beach. Bauer, a lifelong resident and one of the main speakers at the event, was thrilled with the turnout. “For a pop-up protest with just five days’ notice, we were overwhelmed with the turnout, and it’s a vindication that there’s an undercurrent of community outrage.” She called for a friendly competition from protesters in the upcoming rallies in Tully, Cardwell, and Mission Beach to, “show Innisfail how to have a real protest rally.” If the council thought this was going to blow over, they may have to devise a plan B.

An uncompromising combination of off-road capability, urban credibility and premium style, the HiLux Rugged X is built for adventure. The winch-compatible hoopless steel front bullbar and 5mm thick bash plate, combined with purpose-built steel rock rails, help you handle rocks and hard surfaces like never before.

Nursing Home?

WITH so much media coverage regarding The Royal Commission into Aged Care, and in particular the food in nursing homes, let us look at the quality of meals our Residents are served. We have a Speech Pathologist and a Dietitian who advise us on the food and texture that Residents can tolerate, the recommended serving size, and whether the meals are to be vitamised, minced, or normal for each Resident. This also extends to fluids, and if there is a need for them to be thickened. It is paramount we adhere to these recommendations for the nutritional needs of each Resident, for their skin integrity, and overall health and wellbeing. It is part of our aim in providing the highest possible care. For those of you who are new to the area, we are a community-owned Aged Care Facility, nestled amongst the foothills of Mount Tyson.

INNISFAIL CommBank staff recently dressed up in their craziest clown costumes and held a cake stall where $600 was raised for the amazing work of Clown Doctors. The branch also sold their popular CAN bears which were lovingly handmade by family and friends of staff. Clown Doctors is the core program of The Humour Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that provides medical clowns to sick children in hospital, treating them with a different kind of medicine: mainly fun and laughter. Clown Doctors is CommBank Foundation’s National Community Grant recipient for 2017 to 2020. The not-for-profit organisation is receiving $1.2 million over three years through the generosity of more than 13,000 Commonwealth Bank employees who regularly donate a portion of their salary to the cause. “We’ve been supporting the Clown Doctors for more than 19 years and it’s a cause our team is very passionate about” said CommBank Innisfail Branch Manager, Margaret Milani. “Through our fundraising efforts we hope to help Clown Doctors achieve their goal of

Innisfail CommBank branch staff members Josie Smith, Jacinta Melville and Naomi Terry at the Bake Sale which raised $600 for Clown Doctors providing more Clown Rounds in hospitals across Australia.” Clown Doctors said they were extremely grateful to CommBank and the community for their generous support in raising much needed funds to help Clown Doctors continue to uplift and empower sick children, their parents and hospital staff. Clown Doctors bring happiness to all who experience their magic. Their smiles, play and laughter will always be needed as long as there are sick children in hospital. These highly trained medical clowns are also professional performers who spread ‘doses’ of fun and laughter throughout the wards.

COMMUNITY NEWS Lavinia Letheby Brings Extraordinary Talents Home to Mission Beach Lavinia Letheby, flanked by her partner, Carlo Manno and Shane Knuth, Member for Hill at the opening of her art gallery in Mission Beach

SEAN DENT NOT every storyteller is a writer. Comedians, song writers, raconteurs are all storytellers. Lavinia Letheby is a painter. Specifically, she calls herself “a visual artist who creates two-dimensional art pieces in varying mediums and surfaces.” She’s more than that.

Take, for example, one of her pieces called, Will You See Me Now. It’s a portrait and a representation of a man named Alwyn Doolan, a Gooreng Gooreng and Wakka Wakka man who in 2018 walked 8600km with his message sticks, from the northern tip of Queensland

through New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, and onto Canberra where he waited for the newly elected government to be sworn in. He had a message, and that’s what Letheby attempted to capture in her breathtaking painting, which was her entry for the 2019 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize. As with any work of art, it stands alone. On the evening of the opening of her first solo gallery last Friday, it stood front and centre at Letheby’s pop-up gallery in Porter Promenade, Mission Beach, and it was impossible to miss. To be fair to the piece, it would have been difficult to overlook had it been stuck in the corner. After you’ve admired her work for a few minutes, your eye is drawn to the narrative she’s attached to all her works. This gives the work depth as you realise the painting is a snapshot, and that something occurred leading up to this moment, and

painted backdrops and props for high school stage productions. She hasn’t looked back since. She does beautiful paintings, of course, but she also gets commissioned to do large scale public art pieces and one-off fine art pieces, which really get her juices going. “Public art and mural work are my passion because a lot of people get to see that work, not just one person.” She loves that she’s not limited to painting on canvas, and she has examples of her work on various mediums at the gallery. In her past, she’s even painted

something happened after it. “I like to tell the story of people, individuals, or an old house or farming equipment, things that really speak to me and tell stories. If I can capture one percent of that story in a painting, I’ve done a little bit of justice to (the story).” As usual at such events, Letheby was humble enough to know that she didn’t get here on her own. She thanked her partner, Carlo Manno, but more so she thanked her mother, who she said always believed in her talent. Letheby got started as a 13-year-old when her mother asked her gifted little girl to create a work of art for Michael Jackson, which they photographed and mailed to the controversial pop idol. She never heard back from Jackson, but that got her started in the business of painting and she started to make money by painting Christmas scenes on shopfront windows and later

an entire Landcruiser Troop Carrier. We’re lucky enough to get to see a lot of Letheby now that she has returned to her childhood home of Mission Beach. “I always had it in my heart that this was home. When I was 10-years-old, Dunk Island was going to be my home.” She jokes that even if she’s not living there, she can at least see it from her home. Art By Lavinia is open Sunday, 8:00am – 1:00pm, and Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00am – 2:30pm.

Feast of the Senses Calls for Committee Members

PLANS are well under way for Feast 2020. With the volunteer committee taking on the task of all aspects of the organisation of the festival to be held in March, the committee is calling for more members to bolster their numbers. With four members of the committee having re-located interstate and out of town, and a further three having to step down for business and family reasons, the committee is looking for new members so that they can continue to hold the festival as planned. “Of the original thirteen-member committee, we are now down to just six members regularly attending meetings. We are all taking on organisational tasks for 2020 but there are just not enough of us to spread the jobs around,” said Feast President, Rohan Nutting. “We need members of the community to come forward if the Festival is to go ahead. We are looking for people with skills in IT, desk-top publishing and finance, as well as people to assist with the physical aspects of the Feast, like putting up signage and posters, office work and so on,” Nutting said. The Feast of the Senses is a huge undertaking. It has become not only a local festival but a Queensland Tourism destination event, bringing thousands of tourism dollars to Innisfail and the Cassowary Coast. The Feast recently appeared in the top 10 of food festivals in Queensland and would like to stay firmly in that place. The four-day event will take place from Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th March in 2020. “In previous years the Feast has had a paid co-ordinator, but now it’s all volunteer time and effort. We need members of the community to attend the AGM and step up to take on the vacant positions if we are to remain viable,” said Nutting. The Feast of the Senses AGM will be held on Tuesday October 1 at the Queen’s Hotel, starting with dinner at 6:00pm, followed by the AGM at 7:00pm. For more information and to confirm attendance, contact the secretary by email at kerry_linton@hotmail.com or phone 0409 442 246.

The hard-working crew kept the food flowing for the hungry hordes

MARIA GIRGENTI emotional scars from the past, Rowbotham found solace in music and became a rap artist known as Johnny Row. In 2011, Rowbotham released an album ‘On A Personal Note,’ the true accounts of his life journey which can be described as an emotional roller coaster. The aim of the carnival is to provide education, awareness and intervention strategies to tackle suicide in local and surrounding regions. It hopes to reach out to community members through participation in sport, as well as to encourage, support and promote life. While crowds enjoyed a free sausage sizzle during the lunch break, they were treated to a hip hop rap performance by John Edwards (J-Point), traditional Vanuatu dance performance by Ni-Van and Show Off dance by local Aboriginal dancers. Event organisers especially wished to thank all participating teams, referees, spectators, stall holders, volunteers, sponsors, committee members and all involved in working hard to ensure the event was another huge success.

HAVING spoken to a number professionals, including bankers, real estate agents, financial advisors and others, I am buoyed by the economic confidence returning to our region. This is stemming from our longterm proactive approach to optimise our ability to minimise general rates and utility charges, to stimulate development and launch our Tourism Strategy. The introduction of our Development Incentive Schemes has already had significant impact. Unfortunately, there has been a minority running a campaign to try to derail the excellent work being done by Council and I will not be

dissuaded from achieving our most important objectives. “The Fact” advertisement published in both the Innisfail Advocate and Cassowary Coast Independent News is 100% factual and correct and has the consent of council’s insurers to publish same. At no stage have I, or will I, “duck” any issues. In fact, numerous responses have been provided but very seldom, if ever, published. Social Media seems to support the notion that anyone can say what they like and not be held accountable, however, my view is and always will be that Council must support all of its staff against unfair attacks and they will be defended. Neither myself nor Council has publicly identified any entity and have no intention of doing so whilst

actions are before the courts. There is a perception that the majority of our legal costs are being attributed to a particular entity, which is totally false and wrong. I can confirm that our legal costs have risen significantly due to issues such as Planning Objections, Liquidation of the Stoters Hill Quarry operators and Liquidation of Hinchinbrook Harbour as examples of matters that must be dealt with, but with the employment of highly skilled personnel are now being dealt with in-house. I can assure the residents and ratepayers of the Cassowary Coast that we are not, and will not, waste their money on frivolous actions but will not take a backward step in defending the integrity of local government and its employees. I reiterate that I believe this region is on the cusp of several fantastic opportunities and it is my responsibility and that of the other six elected councillors to maximise them to make our region prosper and to achieve its potential.

of councillors was because of the conflict of interest of the Unity Alliance councillors that arose as one of the tenderers donated to their campaign. The three remaining non-Unity councillors are insufficient to form a quorum, so the decision is delegated to the CEO. This matter was discussed in depth back in March when Cr. Nolan proposed that instead independent councillors should be involved in the decision-making process rather

Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS A Local Council Committees’ meeting was held in Tully on September 12. At the beginning of the Major Projects Committee, the CEO mentioned that he had awarded the contract to construct the Tully Grandstand to WIP Qld of Cairns. The need for the CEO to award the contract rather than via a decision

than solely the CEO. This decision was supposed to be reconsidered 3 months, later but this does not yet appear to have occurred. Although a media release had been issued, as is usual with this Council, no comparative report analysing and comparing the various tenders was tabled within the agendas for councillors and the public to consider and review. We were simply informed the CEO went with the officers’ recommendation. Similarly, in the Assets Sustainability Committee, Council resolved to proceed with MGN Civil for the Clump Point boat ramp southern carpark and access road without going to tender or obtaining competitive

written quotes. While the objective to minimise delay in the project completion by using the existing contractor already onsite during constructing stage 1 is well intentioned, no context was provided to councillors. No mention was made in the officer’s report of the total likely cost of this project element, or that this figure would be subsequently reported to councillors before awarding the contract to MGN. Cr. Nolan voted against the proposal indicating that he would have preferred an opportunity be provided for local companies. It appears the controversial calophyllum tree on the Card-

well foreshore is to live on. This is despite council officers at the previous Council meeting, although happy to have further consultation, being fairly adamant that the tree posed a public safety risk and had to go. It appears that following public lobbying, we will instead see the tree pruned right back and given a chance to regenerate. A group of residents is not only seeking to have this tree and all Calophyllums on the foreshore heritage listed but is questioning Council’s processes in arriving at the initial decision “which was at the time, supposedly irreversible and unquestionable.” Probably most interesting at this Council meeting was

Council Continues Evasion on Legal Expense Spending DOMINIC MOBBS SEVERAL weeks ago, CCIN posed numerous questions to Council about the alleged spending of up to $1.6m by Council on legal cases that arose following the Council CEO’s commencement of a personal defamation case against a Cassowary Coast couple back in 2017. CCIN’s objective was an attempt to provide some substance and real information to the public given the widespread gossip on social media. It was an opportunity for Council to inform ratepayers of the real story. Instead, the Mayor responded with a media release headed “The Facts”, which avoided any relevant replies to CCIN’s questions, and indeed appeared to mislead the public by omitting any reference to spending on these legal cases in the 2017/2018 financial

year. This timeframe had been specifically referred to in CCIN’s information request which noted that spending during that year on legal costs had jumped to $801,480 (with just $469,712 outlaid the previous year). No one doubts Council engages lawyers for a range of matters, but is it a coincidence that Council’s legal expense increased substantially following the Council resolution, over six months before the close of the 2017/2018 financial year, to extend Council’s brief to its lawyers to appear on behalf of the CEO, Councillors and their direct families? The Mayor followed up “The Facts” with his regular column (published today) in which he claims not to “duck” any issues. But if the 2017/2018 expense figure is immaterial, why not disclose it instead of ducking it? This is what the Mayor essentially claimed back in July 2018 in his

Mayor’s Column when he said, “costs to Council have been minimal.” Again, in November 2018 Council was requested by Cr. Nolan to prepare a report on legal expenses relating to these matters during the previous 2017/2018 financial year. If the outlays are “minimal” or insignificant, why was there even a need for this report? And if the 2017/2018 spending is a figure of no meaningful amount why has Council responded to the writer’s Freedom of Information (FoI) request relating to this report to Cr. Nolan claiming that the release of the figure may prejudice an investigation? If there was no or “minimal spending” how could any investigation possibly be impacted? Council also claims all applicable 2017/2018 figures are anyway available in Council’s financial statements and Annual

Report. That is clearly incorrect as these numbers show total spending only, and not that on individual matters such as those relating to the cases that came about following the CEO’s defamation case. Why would an FoI request be made if the figures were already in the Annual Report? And, if they were in the Annual Report they would already influence ongoing legal cases. With such contradictory and confusing information coming from Council is it any wonder ratepayers are suspicious, fuelling the rally held in Innisfail last weekend? If there is nothing to hide, why is Council appearing to cover up what is going on by attempting to evade legitimate public interest questions on the amount it has spent, and the processes it pursued before deciding to outlay substantial ratepayer monies?

the update report on the Panama Disease Feral Pig Program. This is a two-year $505,000 program tasked to reduce the transmission of panama disease via feral pigs. It appears to have been quite effective in reducing feral pig numbers, particularly in the Upper Tully and Murray Valleys and there have not been any new detections of panama disease TR4 outside known boundaries since the program inception. Records show more than 4500 pigs have been ‘controlled’ with aerial shooting, accounting for just under half the pigs controlled, with trapping and baiting programmes accounting for the remainder.

Duane Amos Foreshadows Run for Mayor

DOMINIC MOBBS

SENIOR Sergeant Duane Amos, a veteran police officer of 30 years, principal of Aqua Force Industrial Cleaning and an executive committee member of the Innisfail Chamber of Commerce has revealed to CCIN that he is considering standing for mayor in next year’s March local council elections. He has previous experience as a councillor on the Carpentaria Shire Council when he was the Police Officer in Charge at Normanton. The main town streetscape and cleanliness affecting Innisfail local business and tourism, council spending, rate levels plus employment opportunities for youth were the major issues he indicated to CCIN that he would campaign on. “Investment is needed in ecotourism, aquaculture and industry to shift our reliance off agriculture, and supporting local businesses is essential for the shire’s future,” he said.

Dignitaries Come to Tully for Turning of the Grandstand Sod – And We’re Off SEAN DENT

WINNER of the contract to build the new grandstand at Tully Showgrounds, WIP of Cairns, is officially on the premises and a small group of dignitaries came to Tully take part in the traditional turning of the sod. Among them, Anthony Emmi, Tigers’ club President and Shane Knuth, Member for Hill, provided the muscle to get the first load of dirt from a surface that was extremely hard after many dry weeks in the region. Bob Katter and Mayor John Kremastos were nearby and available for the TV interviews with Channel 7. The current drought disappeared from all their minds though when asked when the grandstand is expected to be finished. All and sundry pointed out that Tully is the wettest town in Australia, so it’s impossible to say when it might be finished, and anyway, ask him over there. Nobody wanted to be the one to admit it, but the general view is that it will not be completed in

time for the Tigers’ opening game or even for the 2020 Tully Show. On the other hand, non-politicians are happy to talk about it and they seem more optimistic. Caroline Chadwick, Secretary for the Tully Show said, “Even if it’s not totally finished, we had to change our ground structure anyway, and all the conversations I’ve had are that the grandstand will be at a stage where it won’t affect our show. I’m just thrilled that it has started. It’s going to be a boon for our community.” Renowned Tully Tigers’ ex-player and supporter, Shane Muriata was equally as enthusiastic, and confident it will be at least nearly ready by the opening kickoff. “I think we can have most it done before then,” he said via e-mail. WIP has done the fencing part already, and we’ll keep an eye on things and pray against too many rainy days on behalf of the poor contractors from Cairns who maybe aren’t used to a rainforest climate.

FOR TIBET WITH LOVE – MUSICAL OFFERINGS FROM THE HIMALAYAS THERE is no doubt that Tibetan singer-songwriter Tenzin Choegyal is a man of passion. It is evident in his music, which draws strongly on his nomadic roots, and his tireless efforts to preserve the traditions of Tibet. Likewise, Japanese musician Taro Terahara, enthralled by the traditions of Indian classical music, now dreams of bringing the beauty and evocative sounds of the bansuri (classical Indian flute) to parts of the world that have yet to hear it. Drawing on such rich musical traditions these two artists come together for a brief visit to north Queensland to share the music and stories of these ancient cultures. Tenzin Choegyal is one of a handful of artists keeping Tibet’s music alive in the freedom of exile. Having fled with his family into India, Tenzin has no memory of his homeland, yet feels a particular connection to the music of the wandering people of the Tibetan plateau. Growing up in a Tibetan refugee community, where His Holiness the Dalai Lama actively encourages his people to preserve their culture through language, religion and the arts,

Page 8 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, September 19, 2019

Tenzin first began to explore his musical talents. Tenzin is a master of traditional Tibetan instruments the lingbu (bamboo flute) and the dranyen (3-stringed lute) but is best known for his extraordinary vocal ability and his mastery of droklu, the nomadic music of his parents. An outstanding composer/ performer with a great depth of musical knowledge, intuition and inventiveness, Tenzin has become a favourite in the world music scene and is held in high esteem by other performers from all genres. His cantering rhythms, soaring vocals and exquisite flute solos have enchanted audiences around the globe, including concerts at Carnegie Hall, New York with Phillip Glass, Laurie Anderson and Patti Smith. At the same time, while never wavering in his efforts to keep Tibetan traditions alive, Tenzin firmly believes an even more precious legacy is that of Tibetan warm-heartedness, as personified by Tibet’s spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Accomplished bansuri master, Taro Terahara is a leader in

the thriving and highly competitive Indian classical music scene in Japan. Taro played whistles and flutes from an early age, performed trumpet in high school and university bands and, in exploring the music and dance of other traditions, became captivated by the power of pure improvisation. Drawn to the music of India, Taro “heard the voice of the bansuri calling” and decided to devote himself entirely to the practice of Indian classical music. The bansuri, he explains, beautifully captures the sound of the air, the mountains and the uplifting devotional mood of Krishna. Having studied under several Indian masters Taro now performs regularly throughout Japan, India, USA and South America, contributing to musical scores for film and theatre, collaborating with other renowned artists and proving his versatility in many innovative performances. He also teaches bansuri, Indian classical voice and Indian composition to students across Japan. Taro’s music is tempered by a beautiful humility and devo-

tion to the mood and spirit of the raga, as it soars, swoops and transports listeners to realms of pure sound, engaging the mind and touching the heart. Taro’s bansuri blends seamlessly with Tenzin’s flute, dranyen and vocal offerings in an interplay which is sensitive and beautifully rendered. The combination of two such powerfully expressive performers makes this a unique duo. During their time in our region they will share their music in workshops and performances featuring music from the Himalayas and are looking forward to catching up with old and new friends along the way. This is a rare opportunity to spend time with two world-renowned musicians, share their music and find out more about this intriguing part of the world. Drawing on their rich musical traditions, Tenzin and Taro will conduct a series of workshops and performances in Cairns, Tully, Innisfail, Mission Beach, Atherton, Kuranda and Port Douglas.

I’M originally from the beautiful Sunshine Coast. I’m super excited to be joining the team here at Back in Motion and enjoying the awesome lifestyle that Innisfail and Tully have to offer. I have been involved in for over 10 years now, when I started getting checked and adjusted. At the time, I was an international Flight Attendant with Virgin, and was blown away by the benefits Chiropractic had for my overall health and wellbeing. I couldn’t believe such an amazing and natural approach to health

existed, with so many benefits, and why hadn’t I ever heard of this before! In my quest to become a great Chiropractor, I chose to jump across the ditch, and studied at the world renown New Zealand College of Chiropractic. The five years in Auckland pulled, stretched and challenged me to become the chiropractor I am today. My clinical experience as a student further enriched my love for Chiropractic, with a large focus on care for families and children. I’ve gone on to do specific pediatric and pregnancy training, I love seeing young ones thrive under care with the best possible start to life. This focus includes healthy, sound neurological development. Helping people of any age on their unique health journeys, whatever that may be, is always such an honor. In my most recent practice, I even got to check and adjust lots of family pets! Up until joining the team here on the Cassowary Coast, I’ve been in private practice all across Auckland. When not in practice, I love swimming, long distance running, badminton, a gorgeous red wine and learning languages. I was lucky in my previous aviation career to visit over sixty countries. However, after ten years away, I cannot wait to settle back down in Queensland. I am super excited to meet you and your family (just excuse my accent). Please come laden with tips of how best to enjoy myself locally! Thanks for taking the time to read this! To check you were reading, here’s a little bit of trivia about me (one of these facts isn’t true): I am one of seven kids, I was once on the Graham Norton Show Red Chair, and I have never had fast food before. Let me know which one you think isn’t true, and a correct guess might get you a little prize. Yours in health, Dr. Richard Burgess B. Chiro, Dip. Apl. Sci (chiro), MNZCA

Carol Lawrence Recognised for 40 Years as Justice of the Peace In Tully SEAN DENT

Member for Hill, Shane Knuth presented Carol Lawrence with 40 Year Service Award

Page 10 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, September 19, 2019

IN 1979 Carol Lawrence started her work as a volunteer Justice of the Peace, and this week Shane Knuth stood in for the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Queensland in recognising her long contribution to the Tully community. Lawrence knew it had been 40 years, but wasn’t expecting an award. “I was chuffed to get the call and surprised. I didn’t expect it,” she said. As much as she loves the law, she said what motivates her is providing peace of mind to people in the community in what might be a stressful or confusing time. “People come in and they’re maybe not sure of what they should do, what they should be saying, or what’s the right form they need to fill out. It might be just help with a drivers’ license or they’re getting divorced and they need a document witnessed, things like that.” She feels the service she and her colleagues (Joe Scuderi and Tony Rossi) provide is very important and is proud of what they do. “Tully is one of the few towns that does have a service five days a week. The community is very fortunate that we are here.” Sometimes they witness more than 40 documents in a single day. Queensland Justices of the Peace (JPs) volunteer to serve the public by signing documents that need a qualified witness. Their services range from witnessing and signing formal documents to hear-

ing certain types of court matters. By performing these services, they allow lawyers and the courts to concentrate on complex legal matters. A Justice of the Peace can issue search warrants, issue arrest warrants, grant bail, witness documents, witness statutory declarations, witness affidavits, witness and administer oaths and affirmations, and certify a true copy of an original document. When visiting a JP, you can expect a fair and indiscriminate experience, that their personal beliefs won’t impact their witnessing duties, a free witnessing service, and respect for your privacy and confidentiality. Note, you won’t receive legal advice—they are not legally qualified to advise you on your legal matter. They will ask you questions to ensure you understand the document you are bringing, and they can refuse to sign or witness a document if they are not satisfied you understand it. If you have any questions or need any help with legal documents, contact Carol at the Tully Courthouse on 46 Bryant Street in Tully between 9:00am and 4:00pm, Monday to Friday. You can also call them at (07) 4068 1065. The service even offers several after-hours JPs, one of whom is Lawrence. Just go to the https://www.qld.gov.au website and enter “After-hours JP” in the search box. They will give you details on how to contact them after hours. For 4854, there’s a list of more than 20 JPs and C.Decs.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

80 Students Develop Skills at Softball/ T-Ball Gala Carnival MARIA GIRGENTI SILKWOOD Mena Creek Sports Association recently hosted their annual Softball/T-Ball Carnival at Chappa Chappa Park in South Johnstone. The annual event saw around 80 students in Years 3 to 6 take part and featured Silkwood, South Johnstone, Mena Creek and Mundoo State, with some schools fielding two teams. Convenor, Jenny Murray from South Johnstone State School said it was a great gala day for all and was all about kids participating, having fun, learning new skills, and sportsmanship, as well as meeting new students through social games. The younger students played T-Ball games, while the older students had a go at softball with an emphasis on coaching and skill development in both sports. TOP RIGHT: Acting Principal Chris Smith, Mrs Baker and coach Yvonne Moule with Mundoo State School students who had a go at T-Ball or softball BOTTOM RIGHT: Students from Silkwood, South Johnstone and Mena Creek State Schools who participated in the gala carnival

Characters from Harry Potter were a popular choice for St John’s SilkCurriculum support teacher Debbie Daly and Principal Peta Bryan with Year 2-3 St John’s Silkwood students who dressed up wood students Montanah Cook, Aleesha Charleston, Arianna Martin and James Ford for Book Week

Literary Characters Brought to Life at Book Week Celebrations MARIA GIRGENTI SUPER HEROES and popular literary characters were brought to life during Book Week celebrations and Premier’s Reading Challenge held recently at St John’s School, Silkwood organised by Debbie Daly and supported by Principal Peta Bryan. ‘Reading Is My Secret Power’ was this year’s theme which prompted some very creative costumes from a wide range of books. Each year, schools and public libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating books, and

Australian authors and illustrators. Students and staff picked their favourite character from a picture book in line with the theme and really got into their characters by dressing up in some clever and creative costumes. A wide array of costumes were displayed at assembly and prizes awarded for the best dressed students. Teachers and librarians also conducted activities relating to the theme to promote the importance of reading and keeping it fun. The Premier’s Reading Challenge is an annu-

al state-wide initiative for Queensland state and non-state schools and home-educated students from Prep to Year 9, as well as children (aged up to five years) enrolled in an early childhood centre. The initiative is not a competition but aims to improve literacy and encourage children to read for pleasure and learning both at school and at home. Students from Prep to Year 4 were required to read 20 extra picture or chapter books, while students in Year 5 and 6 read 15 extra

chapter books on top of their normal homework reading. The whole school completed the challenge, with 68 students busily reading books over a period of a few months and were rewarded with an afternoon of fun activities which included art and craft, sport, as well as movies and popcorn. Those who completed the challenge were also recognised for their efforts with the presentation of Certificate of Achievement signed by the Premier of Queensland.

RURAL REPORT

This time of year is a critical one for cane planting as the weather starts to warm up and the ground dries out. As discussed before, in fact in August last year in this column, planting of cane is done by planting cane “billets” in the ground, with each billet having at least one “eye” or node from where the new cane can grow. Once planted in the soil, the billet starts to grow new roots, and the “eyes” or nodes swell and germinate, with the new cane emerging from the ground. This process can take anything from 10 to 70 days to occur and depends on a range of factors, including soil temperature, soil moisture and the depth the billet is planted in the soil. The variety itself also plays a role as some varieties develop large root systems which can mean the cane germinates slowly. In most cases though a cane variety will fully germinate within 30 days of planting Although it is now mid-September, the cooler weather, especially at night has continued up until about a week ago and

our new varieties is called SRA 7, which is generally a slow cane to germinate, but because we have tested it for several years now

currently TSL and TCPSL are finalising the establishment of new variety trials sites in the Tully area to test all new SRA varieties.

we know that despite its slow germination it does grow well and is reliable. If we weren’t doing these germinations tests it could be harder for growers to have confidence in the variety to germinate because it really does take a long time and at first

appears to be a failure. This work we do on varieties is a good example of how the industry works together to fast tracking local information about a new variety so we can commercialise the best ones as quickly as possible.

There are four basic things we measure from these trials to determine how a new variety will become an economic success for Tully: 1. Germination rate 2. CCS curve trends 3. Field characteristics and 4. Ratoonability. For germination rate measurement we simply measure out 10m of a row of cane and count the emerging cane every 10 days up to 70 days after planting. The 10m is typically marked out in the middle or close to the middle of a paddock, not near the ends. It is a very simple process but has to be done every 10 days in the same place to get meaningful data. This allows us to fine tune the SRA recommendations for a new variety in terms of its speed of germination. For example one of

RURAL REPORT

LNP Supports Green Shirts in War Against Green/Labor Parties SARI HYYTINEN THE Green Shirts movement and Dr Peter Ridd, representing local farmers, travelled to Canberra earlier this week to push for a Senate Inquiry into Reef regulations. The group met with various Senators and Lower House MPs to raise their concerns about Queensland Labor’s continued attacks on farming and regional areas. On Tuesday, LNP Senator Susan McDonald, responded and moved that the Senate investigate the evidence used by the Queensland Government to reach the conclusion farming practices were harming the Great Barrier Reef. The motion was co-sponsored by Queensland Senator James McGrath and passed with the support of crossbenchers. “We want to investigate the evidence used by Labor to formulate their anti-farming regulations. We are seeking more transparency in how these decisions were made, particularly given the significance of the likely impact of these regulations on jobs, regional communities and agricultural production,” said McDonald. On the same day in Queens-

land ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (GREAT BARRIER REEF PROTECTION MEASURES) AND OTHER LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL had its second reading and at this second reading of the bill it was decided that no changes would be made to the bill. At this second sitting, it was reported that the bill had “undergone a rigorous and considered consultation process over almost 2½ years” (CCIN reported in last week’s newspaper that 11000 farmers made submission for changes to be made to the bill, but not one change was made) and that “The Palaszczuk government will always listen to science.” Martin Bella, the national Green-shirts coordinator, said the farmers’ trip to Canberra was to ensure that the Queensland State Government actually listens to science and has an appropriate consultation with the community that is directly impacted by any changes to legislation. “We were asking not for the evidence to be overturned, we are asking for the evidence to be checked… for us these reef regulations are serious to the point of terminal. We are being told that we're damaging the reef and we have extreme

doubts that that is correct. Dr Peter Ridd also has doubts that parts of it are correct. He also thinks that there are certain elements that are true,” said Bella. “Checking is what science is all about. Check, check, recheck. Measure twice cut once.” Senator McDonald supports Bella’s assertions and scoffed at suggestions the motion was an attack on science. “This is simply investigating the evidence used by the Queensland Labor Government to push what is quite clearly a worrying anti-farming agenda. We want to review that evidence and assess how it is used in government policy decisions which affect many farmers and regional communities,” she said. To Bella, it is obvious that the Green and Labor government are totally toxic to rural and regional Australia. “Green Shirts is not party aligned, and we will support other conservative parties and encourage them to work together to make sure that Greens and Labor are kicked out at the next election. These Reef regulations have been like the Cold War since the veg laws and things like that. Now it has turned into a hot war. They fired shots and

we are sending the ships around sideways to level a broadside.” Unlike Queensland State politicians, McDonald understands the balance of maintaining the environment while supporting the farming industry. “Sugar generates up to $2 billion in export earnings for Queensland and at least 22,000 people are employed in the sugar industry. But it’s not just coastal farms that are in Annastacia Palaszczuk’s crosshairs, it’s cattle properties far inland as well. Queensland Labor have repeatedly used the environment to justify their attacks on farming, but they ignore practical landcare systems being employed by farmers. After years of not being heard in Brisbane, farmers came to the Federal Government out of desperation.” Bella said farmers were grateful for the support of Queensland’s Canberra LNP politicians after receiving no support from State Government. “The impact of Queensland Labor’s regulations is massive, and it’s not just on farms, it’s on every other industry up in the North,” he said. “It’s also on people, it’s on our kids and it’s on our future.”

Santitto Returns Home After Completing First Year of Tennis and Business Scholarship at USA College MARIA GIRGENTI IN May, Isaac Santitto returned home to Innisfail, for the USA College summer break, after completing his first year of a four-year scholarship at East Central College, Mississippi. Santitto received the tennis scholarship from the College last year, which allowed him to continue advancing his tennis while studying for a university business degree. He attended Good Counsel Primary School and secondary education at Good Counsel College where he always excelled at accounting and business subjects. He was accepted for the scholarship after engaging an agent who guided him through the application process which included evidence of his academic results. His agent suggested Santitto make a video of all his tennis action shots which was then distributed to coaches in USA. Santitto received multiple offers from different colleges and as he was starting half-way through the year, his agent suggested he attend a

junior college so he chose East Central. He then had a couple of interviews with the College via Skype and also communicated with his US tennis coach, Jay Pacelli. All eight members of the tennis team stay in the same dormitory, and Santitto has formed a friendship with Chris Lawrence from Perth. His business degree, which follows GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) is transferable to Australia. The college tennis team which included two international students, Santitto and Lawrence from Australia, had success this year and reached the Nationals for the first time in the College's history. In their junior college division, overall they finished in the top 20 colleges from throughout the United States. Isaac said the scholarship has given him a great opportunity to continue playing tennis at a high level whilst studying. In April, Santitto won a Warrior Award for excellent work ethic in tennis at the spring sports College banquet. He also made the College's Deans list for

achieving the highest academic percentage.

playing tennis after school,

ty as it was a great opportunity

combining tennis with universi-

to see the world and make new

friendships.

During the tennis season which runs from January to May, the team trains numerous times a day on hardcourts and can have up to three inter-college meets each week. His training involves early morning weight sessions, classes from 8:00am to 1:00pm, and then two to three hours of tennis in the afternoon. "As we travel interstate for away games, state and national tournaments, I have been able to see different places in America including Alabama and Birmingham, as well all over Mississippi." He found it difficult to compare the level of tennis in Australia and USA as there are lots of differences, especially with court speed which he said are a lot faster in Australia. Santitto, who previously trained with local coach, Wayne Fielder at Baseline Tennis Coaching Academy in Innisfail recently flew back to America to start the second year of his scholarship. He would thoroughly recommend a scholarship to anyone wanting to continue

Pam Anderson, Marcia Ryall and Catrina Cook (13) could not overcome Diana O’Brien, Lyn Stevenson and Joan Atkinson (13). The last end ended in a thriller when Cook’s bowl was a half cm closer to the Jack than O’Brien’s bowl.

IGA Tully Open Championship Fun for the Winners and the Rest SEAN DENT TEITZEL’S IGA Tully Open Championship, a 36-hole event, was played on a gorgeous weekend, drawing a massive field of 46 men (A, B, and C grade) and 15 women (Divisions 1 and 2) coming from as far away as Townsville for a chance to win the championship and get their name on the wall of fame. Tully Country Club offers a challenging nine-hole golf course with different tees for the front and back nine, and is par 71 for the men and 73 for the ladies. If you haven’t played there, it’s a picturesque setting typical of our region with palm trees and mountains as a backdrop, and you can see the iconic Tully Sugar Mill on one side. If you’re lucky, you might see a small plane taking off from the neighbouring airport. For those not among the leaders, it was still a pleasant way to spend a weekend, and when we spoke to them, they were in good spirits even if their rounds were not perfect. One player, Rob Zimini, came off the course and joked, “I still have a chance in the raffle.” Vesa Hyytinen didn’t have the

best of days but smiled and out it down to, “Too much practice.” The winners sometimes had a different approach. The ladies overall champion, young Kasey Sorohan, a 16-year-old junior with a bright future, had already legged it out of town for the long drive back home to Townsville. She was one of the players delighted to get her name up on the wall, saying it was something she could show her children one day. Julie Reed, who seems to be at or near the top of every leaderboard lately, was runner-up, but she also skipped the presentations to head back to Ingham. Most stuck around for the prize giving, and club captain, Mike Kennedy said they always make an effort to make that part fun. Apart from the sledging they all took part in, they make it a tradition to spread the prizes around. “If you win a major prize, you don’t get another one. We give it to someone else further down.” More than 50 prizes were handed out, and they consisted of gift vouchers from Teitzel’s IGA and boxes of golf balls.

Kennedy thanked Craig Teitzel for the generous donation of the prizes, but as is his custom, Teitzel did not attend the prize giving as he likes to give all the attention to the organisers and the competitors. WinnersThe male Gross Champion for the 36 holes was Jon Mackenzie. The female Gross Champion for the 36 holes was Kasey Sorohan. The Junior Champion for the 36 holes was Matt Bochow. The men’s A Grade nett winner was Mike Kennedy followed by Tanu Wolf. The men’s B Grade nett winner was Maurie Smith followed by Jonno Dean The men’s C Grade nett winner was Les Edwards followed by Neil Reardon. The ladies’ Division 1 nett winner was Kas Marshall followed by Julie Reed. The ladies’ Division 2 nett winner was Hipas Donald followed by Betty Favier.

Tigers News with Shane Muriata As Mossman-Port Douglas scored the winning try in the A grade extra time game against a spirited Atherton Roosters side last weekend, the script had been written for the most anticipated Grand Final in Cairns District Rugby League history when our northern cousins, the Innisfail Leprechauns, will take on the Sharks of Mossman. It will be one of the toughest assignments in Nth Qld Rugby League for any side to go back to back, but an even tougher one to beat a side full of speed that is the Sharks. Any team going into battle against a side that is coached by league royalty Brian Murgha will have their work cut out, but one man in the green jer-

sey says they will leave nothing in the tank come full time. "We just have to turn up and be ready to give our all," big man and all round good good guy, Fred Koraba stated when i caught up with him earlier in the week. "They have so many good players across the park, so we can't just focus on one person." When asked how the vibe was around the club, he couldn't help but show his emotions. "I wanna thank my family, you know all the wives and children go through so much sacrifice to get us here." Master of the 'no smile' and getting teams to the big dance, good mate and Leps coach, Leon Hallie seem to keep things close to his chest when his name is brought up in conversation. "He spoke a little about taking the week in, so not to play the game before it starts. Leon knows how to handle these things, so we just have to follow. It’s really good seeing the older guys like Robbie Harren get a kick out of Grand Final week, because they give so much for our club." As our catch up began to wind down, you could tell in his voice that Saturday represents all or nothing as there are no tomorrows when it comes to Grand Finals, with the 2019

End Game edition being the time to give what you got. "This is it, we need as much supporters up there as possible." When we finally parted ways, I couldn't help but think of his personal journey to get to this game. He has worked as hard as anyone I know, and if there is one thing you can count on, Freddy and his men will turn up to Barlow Park ready to bring home the bacon. Good luck Innisfail Leprechauns.

Innisfail Leprechauns to Face Mossman-Port Douglas in Grand Final MARIA GIRGENTI INNISFAIL Leprechauns A grade team will face reigning premiers Mossman-Port Douglas this Saturday in the Cairns District Rugby League grand final at Barlow Park. Innisfail secured their spot in the decider after they toppled a gallant Mossman-Port Douglas outfit by 32-26 at Barlow Park a fortnight ago and earned themselves a week off. First points came through a penalty kick by Mossman-Port Douglas in the opening minutes of the match. The Sharks eventually found their straps when Aggie Gibuma streaked away for a runaway try and they went out to a 6-0 lead when Daniel Mareko booted the extras. Mossman scored another four pointer, before Innisfail posted their first and only points of the half with a

try to Dan Sagigi and a successful conversion Michael Morton had them behind by six points. Soon after, the competition's leading try scorer Matthew Gibuma found the try line for Mossman which put them 16-6 ahead. A try to Mossman and successful penalty kick just before halftime saw them go into the sheds at the break with a convincing 22-6 lead. After a few home truths by coach Leon Hallie at the break, Innisfail came out firing with tries to Luke Horsford, Den Waireg-Ingui, Robert Haren and a second try to Sagigi. Two penalty kicks slotted by Morton in the final 11 minutes of play put Innisfail out to a 32-22 lead. A second try to Sharks' centre Gabriel Bon game kept their hopes alive with four minutes left to play. The Sharks went

on the attack on the fulltime siren and they threw the ball around, but some desperate defence by Innisfail sealed the all-important win and a grand final berth. Innisfail coach Hallie said he couldn't be prouder of his players, especially how well they fought back. "It was a great team effort and during their week off he assessed player injuries and prepared for the big game between Mossman-Port Douglas," Hallie said. Mossman-Port Douglas booked a spot in a grand final showdown against Innisfail and will have a shot at back-toback premierships. The Sharks defeated Atherton by one try in a thrilling clash at Barlow Park on Sunday which went into golden point after scores were locked at 28 apiece after 80 minutes. Despite their share of op-

Page 22 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, September 19, 2019

portunities, neither team could break the deadlock in the first five minutes of golden point. Both teams scrambled in attack and defence until a run-away try by Aggie Gibuma in the dying seconds of golden point, caused Sharks fans to

erupt as they snatched 3228 victory and caused a heartbreaking end to Atherton's season. After grand final appearances in 2012 and 2014 where they finished as runners up, Innisfail went on to claim a premiership in 2015 after

they defeated Ivanhoes by 30-20. Innisfail will be keen for redemption after going down to Yarrabah by 3122 in the 2017 grand final, which gave the Seahawks their first A grade premiership in the club's 17-year history.

FOR once I can report that the weather conditions over the weekend were actually on the lighter side than what was forecast. Once the morning westerly wind dropped, the conditions close in around the islands were fantastic. Larger boats were needed to travel out wide where the great run of Coral Trout and Red Throat Sweet Lip continued. It seems that most of the boats managing the better catches were fishing deeper water in the 30-to-40 metre mark. Those that chose to fish the deep-water shoals and wrecks reported being plagued by bull sharks. I am told that the sharks are at their worst around the full moon. All I know is that they are a real problem, and that the government departments seem unable to admit it. They tell me that the Tiger Shark numbers have dropped dramatically, but to me it seems obvious that the more aggressive Bull Shark is out-competing them for food. Bull shark numbers are definitely growing, and they are getting more aggressive.

Closer in around the islands it was a similar story: the Spanish Mackerel were around in good numbers at places such as Cathedral rock and forty foot but the bull sharks were a real problem. There were reasonable numbers of Island Trout and Grass Sweet Lip caught by those fishing bait. I only heard a few reports of Grunter and Fingermark being caught around the islands, and most of these were from the Hinchinbrook area. There have been some good catches of school size grunter in the 40-to-50cm mark caught in virtually all the coastal creeks. The larger fish around the 60cm mark have been more elusive but there have been some reports. It seems that the estuaries have been fishing fairly well for both Barra and Mangrove Jacks, this is a very good sign for the next few months. The Hinchinbrook Channel and Missionary bay have been the stand outs, with Derek my manager and Ethan our junior pro staffer having an incredible trip on Sunday. The hard-bodied Jackson Comet was the stand out lure with the boys not having much luck on soft plastics. The mud crab catches have dropped off with most reporting just the odd good buck. There are still good numbers of Pikey

bream in the creeks and some good flathead being caught around the sand bars and drop offs. The fresh water fishing is improving, however the Sooty Grunter are still down in the lower reaches of the river and haven’t started moving up into the gorge areas on their breeding run. They should start to move up in the next few weeks. At this very early stage of the week, the weather forecast for this weekend is for 10-to15 knots inshore and 15-to-20 knots out wide. This will hopefully allow the larger boats to travel out to the main reefs, I would imagine the smaller boats will be confined to the islands and estuaries. Either side of the morning high tide will give boats their best chance at a Barra or a Jack. Those wishing to fish for a grunter should target either side of the afternoon high tide. Finally, good luck to those fishing the Kurrimine Fishing and Spearing Competition this weekend. This is a great comp and helps promote our beautiful region. I would also like to remind everyone that the Rotary Take A Kid Fishing Day is on this weekend; late entries will be excepted in front of the Tully Coast Guard building Hull Heads, from 8 o`clock on Sunday morning or you can enter at Cavs Marine or Tackle World Tully beforehand.

Lisa Laffin, the face of this year’s Cassowary Coast Relay for Life with some of her ‘Breast Friends’ team members

Lisa Laffin Named Face of Cassowary Coast Relay for Life

MARIA GIRGENTI

LOCAL cancer survivor, Lisa Laffin, who has been chosen as this year’s Face of the Cassowary Coast Relay For Life will proudly lead the opening survivors and carers lap on Saturday, October 12 at Pease Park, Innisfail and is hoping by telling her story it provides hope and inspiration to other cancer patients. Laffin was chosen by the Cancer Council Queensland committee, where her main role is to promote the Relay for Life, Cancer Council and their support services and the Marylyn Mayo Lodge in Cairns. She is also captain of ‘Breast Friends’ relay team made up of family and close friends Dianne Wheeler, Lina Calleja, Yolanda Potamianakis, Kelly Grasso, Rosanna Pen-

sini, Dannii Kruckow, Amylee Deicke, Travis Calleja, Bronwyn Pawson and Kathy Campbell. “I’m honoured and proud to be this year’s Face of Relay and know the whole experience is going to be highly emotional.” Relay for Life is a day for cancer survivors to stand together and show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be meaningful, productive and even inspiring. On March 7 this year, Laffin was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, and her life as she knew it changed immediately. The next month consisted of almost weekly doctor’s appointments which included MRI’s, CT scans, ul-

trasounds, mammograms, biopsies and finally a mastectomy of her left breast in April. To Laffin, the C word means CHOICES, as from the start she decided to make the best decisions during her journey and treatment. Laffin said she was fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing support team of family and friends who were with her every step of the way as without them she would never have got through. “The most confronting impact cancer had on me is being stripped of everything that made me feel beautiful. Losing my hair, my left breast and now the weight gain is heartbreaking, however I’m learning to accept it all as there

are a lot of people worse off than me. “Cancer is a very individual experience and every survivor will have a unique walk down the cancer path.” Laffin still has a few more weeks of chemotherapy but is hoping to be ringing the cancer bell on Monday, October 14 straight after the Cassowary Coast Relay for Life weekend. There is still time to volunteer, register a team or link up with a team to take part in this year’s Cassowary Coast Relay for Life at www.relayforlife.org. au or by calling 1300 65 65 85.
