tive effect on our local farmers who have been struggling for a long time with depression due to the constant changes to the laws that make it more expensive to farm. They are currently depressed and there have been reports of suicide. Sadly, they are not getting the return on their investment that is required to run a farm. I am

aware that there are people who believe that farmers are rich and that the Tully region was known for the barefoot Millionaire. These comments are from back in the 1980s and they are no longer relevant to the current situations on farms. When we all support each other, we all grow together, and when we pit ourselves in battle, then we all go down.

Senator Susan McDonald announces final

Tully Grandstand Funding Continued from PG1

There will also be a new administration office and media area, bar and canteen, timekeeper box and parents’ room. Speaking at a special ceremony in Tully, Senator McDonald said the development would be the envy of the Cassowary Coast region. “The Morrison Liberal National Government is committed to delivering jobs, productivity improvements and economic growth in regional Australia,” she said. “The local showground is the centrepiece of any town, and we know that just because you live in a regional area doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have good facilities. “The Community Development Grants funding for the grandstand will boost the local economy through increased visitation and usage from markets, concerts, conferences and sporting events.” McDonald also acknowledged the passion and hard work of local groups who engaged in their own fundraising drives to help the project become a reality. “More than $20,000 was raised by

the Tully Tigers Rugby League Club, Tully junior rugby league and the Tully Touch Football Association,” she said. “The Tully Show Society has also pledged $10,000 of in-kind support which will help football, campdrafting and the Relay for Life who all use the grounds. “This is truly a venue for all the community, and hopefully we’ll see plenty more junior footballers come through in the footsteps of recent homegrown Cowboys player Jake Clifford. “It’s anticipated 28 jobs will be created during the project plus 31 ongoing jobs after completion. “The Morrison Government realises that regional areas need jobs to retain people and increase populations.” Key project facts, Tully Multi-Use Sporting Complex and Grandstand • The Australian Government has committed $3 million to the $7.1 million project. • It is being funded under the Community Development Program. • The Queensland State Government has contrib-

uted $3 million and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council has provided $1.78 million towards the project. Additional funding has been obtained from the following sporting clubs: o Tully Tigers Rugby League Club - $10,000 o Tully Junior Rugby League Club - $2,000 o Tully touch Football Club - $10,000, and o Tully District Show Society is providing an in-kind contribution to the value of $10,000. • The project will construct a Multi-Use Sporting Complex and Grandstand, including a fit out of up to 600 spectator seats with associated facilities for the Tully community. • Key features of this project include: o administration office and media area o medical/massage rooms o referees rooms with amenities o multipurpose training and meeting rooms o function room, bar and canteen/servery areas o storage areas o parents room including disabled toilets and seating bays

o timekeeper/scorekeeper box, shower areas, benches • This project will provide long term improvements in health, financial viability of the local community and social sustainability of the area. • The project will encourage and facilitate investment in the Tully area, as well as, boost the local economy through increased visitation at major events such as markets, concerts and sports carnivals. • The new multi-use function facilities will provide a space to host events such as weddings, presentation nights, and fundraising dinners. • The project will increase the bidding competitiveness for the Tully area, enhance the opportunity for the local community to participate in sport and recreation pursuits and increase the region’s capabilities to host major events. • The Cassowary Coast Regional Council anticipates 28 jobs will be created during the project, while another 31 on-going jobs will be supported once the project is complete.

COMMUNITY NEWS Kurrimine Beach Business Ready to Revolutionise Fish Packaging Worldwide SEAN DENT

IN early October, Tom and Kath Long will find out if their company, TomKat Global Solutions – a business in Kurrimine Beach – has the won the National Seafood Industry Small Business Award. Tom feels they’ve got a shot. As you read his story, I think you’ll see that Tom has a knack for understatement. Defining this company as a small business is a little bit tricky. Even defining the business itself is tricky. There’s the plumbing side to the business, which up till now seems to be the bread and butter. Then there’s TomKat Line Fish, which is essentially a fishing business, but it has some nice tweaks to it, and we could do an entire story just on this side of the business. Tom line-fish-

es some of the most sought-after tropical species the region has to offer – Red Emperor, Goldband Snapper and Rosy Snapper, among others. Kath, a teacher at the local school by day, works in the processing room and does an excellent job on the marketing and promotion side of the business. They share the office work in one the most aesthetically-pleasing office environments I’ve ever seen.

seafood itself is placed in single-use plastic bags and these are placed inside the containers. Polystyrene is a fragile petroleum-based plastic, and a single Google search will tell you that it’s not just bad for the planet, it can lead to acute health deterioration, including effects on the human nervous system. (Do not drink water from Styrofoam cups.)

Then there’s the TomKat KoolPak side to their business. If everything goes according to plan on this side, it’s unlikely they will even qualify as a small business within a couple of years.

Tom was not happy with the state of the things in his industry and he’s not the kind of guy to do nothing about it. Also, one of the fishes he catches, the Red Emperor, has a minimum catch size of 55 cm. The maximum size of a polystyrene box is 53 centimetres: do the math!

Most seafood these days is shipped in polystyrene containers, and that’s a problem the industry has been scratching its head over for years. The

In 2018, Tom and Kath received an FRDC (Fisheries Research and Development Corporation) bursary to attend the Global Seafood Expo in

Brussels, the most significant seafood trade fair in the world. It was a great opportunity to see what other box technologies were available. Kath went looking specifically for alternatives to polystyrene. “I went from stall to stall, looking for the magic box for our fish to go in. But there wasn’t one.”

They did see some interesting packaging developments but nothing like what they’d hoped to find. So, they decided to invent one. Their own design is now patent pending and involves triple layer protection and more effective cooling for the seafood inside the box, which is also reusable and recyclable. Tom took me through his lab and showed me his prototype designs. He explained how, after returning from Brussels, they went step-by-step through the process of creating a state-of-the-art fish packaging

system.

To call it a box would be an insult. They didn’t just create a box that would stay cold longer without using Polystyrene. They added to the new design an NFC chip that is capable of recording the temperature inside the box, recording the location of the box, and sending that information to a phone app, which uploads it to a database. The sender of the box can get access to all that information. TomKat is getting support from various sections of the Australian government, and also chefs around Australia, and even from international organisations such as WWF. The solution the Longs have invented has the potential to totally replace the use of polystyrene shipping containers. You might look at this as purely a clever way of cleaning up one of our

environmental problems, but it’s more than that. Australia uses about 10 million polystyrene boxes a year, that’s a huge business opportunity for TomKat Global Solutions. Then take it to the next step. Worldwide that number is somewhere between 500 million and a billion boxes a year. That makes this no longer a business, small or big. That’s an industry. That’s an Australian export industry. Maybe that’s why Tom and Kath are getting such strong support from the government. Trust me when I say, this is only a tiny snapshot into their business. Calling them businesspeople would be like calling Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, a bookseller. These are visionaries, and I assure you we’ll be following this story for a while.

2019 Mission Arts Awards Cassowary Coast Car Show Hailed a Huge Success

MEL BOWMAN-FINN LAST Saturday evening was a must see for all people arty at the 2019 Mission Arts Awards & Exhibition Gala Opening Night. Over 140 people attended the event, where the artworks were considered amongst some of our regions finest. If you have not had a look at this exhibition yet you are in for a pleasant surprise. Most of the works have quite the Australiana feel, which easily became part of the judging criteria, many of which significantly portray the tropical nature of our region, including our beaches, flora and fauna. Guest judge Noel Mason of Tyto Gallery, Ingham (four years management), had his work set out for him expressing how, “it’s important to have a number of different artists be able to showcase together in a

gallery setting. This is a great opportunity for artists to have a stage to showcase their work.” The Open Award category went hands down to Deanna Conti, with her glasswork ‘Dichroic Magic’ (pictured). This 3D sculpture set covered all aspects of the award-winning criteria. Conti had her moment in the light when her life’s work and contribution was acknowledged during the award ceremony. As a well-respected resident artist of Mission Beach, all I have spoken to applaud this accolade of ‘Established Artist Recognition Award’ for outstanding achievement and service to the arts in the Cassowary Coast Region. On behalf of the CCIN team we congratulate all entrants including the winners listed. The sponsors, Mission Arts and community members for embracing our local arts and making it possible for such exhibitions to showcase the high calibre of art from this region. Be sure to visit Mission Arts, where this exhibit will remain until the October23 , open 10:00am - 2:00pm daily, situated at Marcs Park.

PCYC is a not-for-profit organisation and all funds raised allow the centre to run youth and crime prevention programs within the local community. Maguire congratulated all event organisers, sponsors and those who gave their own time and efforts in making this year another great success and giving the families of our community a special day out. Despite the inclement weather earlier on, approximately 500 people streamed

through the gates and over $2,000 was raised. Throughout the day, rev heads and motoring enthusiasts, spent a relaxing day checking out over 50 different classic, hot rods, utes and muscle cars in undercover and outdoor areas. All those who attended were also treated to a huge wheelbarrow raffle, lucky door prizes, market stalls, men’s health stalls and show bags for the first 100 people through the gates. There was also a variety of food stalls: decadent hot coffees and tantalising cupcakes. Mamu Health Service Men’s Group cooked up a storm with a sausage sizzle and had icy cold drinks for sale.

The Great Moscow Circus is Back in Innisfail SEAN DENT

WHEN the Great Moscow Circus arrives in town, it sets of a bit of a romance among people who loved the circus as a child, maybe even had exotic dreams of joining one and travelling the world. It appears to be a real family affair. For his part, promoter, Mark Edgley didn’t have much choice. His dad was a promoter for the great Moscow Circus before him, so he was born to it and certainly seems to love it. Even his wife is an acrobat/ gymnast from Belarus. Edgley recognises that the children of circus performers need a bit of stability in their lives, that it can’t be all circus, all the time. There are quite a few children of the current performers on tour at the moment. They have travelling teachers, and the performers are disciplined enough to take time to do normal things with their families in between shows. The Great Moscow Circus first visited Australia in 1965 and has returned every three to five years since. They premiered this tour in Wollongong

way back in May 2017, and the tour was set to roll through New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania. Northen Territory, Australia Capital Territory, and obviously Queensland. Each time the Great Moscow Circus returns to Australia, it is with a completely new show, and the theme for this tour is an All New Extreme show featuring Australia's top trial riders, The Flair Riders, the Extreme Wheel of Death, High Wire, the world's best dare devil motorcycle cage riders, breathtaking aerial performers, and Walkers (all performing without a net, for extra drama). The programme includes artists from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Colombia, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. One thing people should not expect to see from the circuses of decades past is the exotic animal collection. There are no elephants, no lions or tigers, no bears, no seals balancing beach balls: just some ponies. Part of it comes down to us as a planet becoming more aware that animals are not to be exploited.

Part of it is a matter of cost, according to Edgley. “We don’t need them, people don’t expect to see them, it’s too expensive, too much carting around,” he said. “Nowadays it’s basically all human based. We even have a live singer from The Voice named Taylah Harrington, who was on Boy George’s team.” Since its first visit in 1965, over 7 million Australians have attended the Great Moscow Circus. The show in Innisfail will run September 4-8 (two shows on Saturday). Ticket prices range from $25-$55 depending on age and how close you want to be to the action. The highest-priced tickets will have spectators seated just inches away from the performers. Family tickets are available for $140.

Pat, who has lived in Innisfail. all her life moved around from Cowley to Innisfail and did her primary schooling at Moresby and Goondi State Schools. As a young girl, Pat worked at Willles, and later in life, after she was married, cooked lunches and smokos for canecutter gangs. She also worked as a cook at Black Marlin,

She has always made beautiful tarts and sweets for parties and functions, as well as her delicious Italian cooking and has passed on her knowledge to many others by teaching them to cook her signature dishes. In January 1947, Pat married Lawrence Pensini in Innisfail, and they were blessed with four children, Stephen, Johnny, Louise and Lawrence. She loved living on the farm in Wangan and Garradunga. She has 11 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren and counting, with the eldest aged 25.

Throughout her life, Pat also enjoyed the many trips to Sydney to visit her younger sisters and for her honeymoon. Her passion for cooking saw her gain a lot of satisfaction from seeing other people enjoying food she had cooked at the restaurants where she worked. Even now in her 90s, Pat still cooks occasionally at Villanova aged care home where she resides. Pat's philosophy in life is to "Enjoy yourself, eat healthy and often, don't be shy, be friendly, kind, generous and helpful.” She also said it's important to enjoy a compliment every now and then.

Commission Finalises Local Council Boundaries

19%.

THE Local Government Change Commission has now finalised its review of the divisional boundaries of the Cassowary Coast Regional Council. There will be six divisions with each electing their own councillor.

Council conducted a survey earlier in the year to determine whether residents would prefer to stay with the current system of six divisions, or move to an undivided arrangement. This poll resulted in an overwhelming vote to continue with the current divisional system.

Each division of the Council is required to have relatively the same number of voters (quota) to uphold the key democratic principle of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one vote, one valueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This review was required after it was revealed that the growth in population in Division 3, focussed on Kurrimine and Mission Beaches, meant that it was nearly 17% over quota and heading for over

So the Change Commission considered the boundaries of the Cassowary Coast Regional Council. The Commission deliberated on both current and projected enrolment data as well as the views expressed in public submissions. Most of the public submissions suggested that the 4852 postcode should be united within the same division, and that Carmoo had

In summary, for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections, Carmoo will move from Division 2 (Tully) into Division 3. El Arish will move from Division 3 to Division 2. And Cowley Beach will move from Division 3 to Division 6 (Mourilyan; Etty Bay; South Innisfail). The boundaries of the other three divisions remain essentially unchanged. With El Arish moving to Division 2, one wonders if Deputy Mayor Kimberly, who resides in El Arish and is the current member for Division 3, is now likely to change and stand for re-election in Division 2, or perhaps he will decide to have another go at the top mayoral job? Interesting is the Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view that the enrolled population of the region will only increase by 463 persons (2.4%) in the 5 years to 2024.

Council Chooses Proven Contractor With Lowest Tender

CASSOWARY Coast Regional Council has awarded the contract for the construction of the Tully Multi-Use Sporting Complex and Grandstand to Far Northern firm WIP QLD Pty Ltd. CEO James Gott said WIP was one of nine tenderers for the project, including two Cassowary Coast businesses. WIPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tender of $5,622,810 was $1,143,018 and $654,990 respectively less than the two local tenders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This tender represents value for money from a proven contractor, who will be proactive in engaging local Cassowary Coast sub-contractors and suppliers during the 45week build,â&#x20AC;? Mr Gott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tender Evaluation team recommended Cairns-based WIP QLDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tender be accepted, based on their

high quality submission, detailed methodology, price advantage and considerable relevant experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WIP QLD Pty Ltd has a proven track record with similar projects for Cairns City Council at Barlow Park and West Barlow Park, and sports grounds amenities, carpark and subdivision at Petersen Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WIP QLDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S submission was thorough and satisfied the information requirements for all criteria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We received good feedback from referee checks and provided a detailed response on their approach for the construction. Their program and proactive management of procurement demonstrate that they understand the local conditions and the need to be proactive in maximising building time in Tullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment.â&#x20AC;?

The transformations

AFTER TULLY Drapery has been in the curtain and blind business for almost 20 years. In June 2017 we decided to specialise in curtains and blinds only. This was a big step for us, but it has worked well. We now have a beautiful air-conditioned showroom where clients can sit and look at samples and check out the different styles of blinds and curtains. We also encourage our clients to take samples home; it is much easier to pick a colour in the actual installation environment rather than trying to choose in our showroom. In the last few years, our Outdoor Range of blinds and awnings has increased. We now offer straight drop, zip track, side channel and pivot arm awnings that suit a wide range of style and technical installation requirements. We also offer shutters (indoor and outdoor), aluminium louvre awnings and Ozroll Rollershield Shutters. All indoor and outdoor blinds and curtains help with our extreme summer heat by blocking out direct and reflected sunlight. This helps air conditioners work more efficiently and helps protect furniture and floor coverings from fading and discolouration. We are true locals and our business supports local community and sporting clubs and schools. Go Local to grow Local.

Your phone, music, kids being rowdy, food, the newspaper, setting the GPS or something happening outside the vehi-

cle? Distractions are one of the components that make up the Fatal Five and is just as dangerous as speeding, fatigue, drugs and alcohol or failing to wear a seat belt. Driving a car requires all of your attention. Remove distractions and prepare for your journey. Set things like the GPS and music before you drive so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put you, your passengers and other motorists lives at risk, and leave your phone alone. DAY FIVE OF QLD ROAD SAFETY WEEK, DRINK AND DRUG DRIVING Drinking alcohol or consuming drugs and then driving reduces our ability to drive safely. Your ability to concentrate is diminished along with judgement, coordination and reflexes. Reducing your ability to drive safely and increasing your risk of having a crash. If you do plan to drink when you go out, make alternative arrangements to driving home. It is possible to still be over the limit after sleep and eating a big meal, only time will reduce the level of alcohol in your system. You should never drive if you are taking prescription or over the counter medication that can affect your driving or after taking illegal drugs. If you are concerned about how your medication may affect your driving, you should consider alternative transport arrangements and consult your doctor. If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day. You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppersqld.com. au 24hrs per day.

Queensland Police Broach Road Safety with Cassowary Coast Community MARIA GIRGENTI

QUEENSLAND Road Safety Week events in Innisfail and Babinda received plenty of support by members of the community. At the Cassowary Coast Car Show, PCYC Branch Manager Sergeant Mick Maguire took the opportunity to speak with motoring enthusiasts about road safety. Last Tuesday, local police, Kidsafe inspectors and staff from Department of Transport and Main Roads

(TMR) were set up at the Innisfail Disaster Management Centre on Flying Fish Point Road and offered free advice on the correct fitting of child restraints in a vehicle. This was followed up on Wednesday with Babinda Police, transport inspectors and Department of Transport and Main Roads road safety team setting up at Rotary Park, Howard Kennedy Drive, Babinda. This provided a great opportunity for travellers to have their caravans weighed, as well as gather information on how to

check the GVM of caravan and vehicle, safe towing, fatigue management, driving local and remote roads in North Queensland, general road rules and the Driver Reviver program. Transport inspectors were kept busy with approximately 35 caravans weighed. Senior Constable Jane Moran spent the morning with the TMR Road Safety Team where they spoke to many of the travellers who not only delighted them with stories of their journeys, but also told them of some terrifying things

they have encountered and witnessed with motorists while on the road. Then the Innisfail Road Policing Unit (RPU), Police Crime Prevention, Cassowary Coast Patrol Inspector Steve Kersley and members of TMR congregated at Innisfail Driver Reviver at Fred Drew Park rest stop where a BBQ was fired up for a free sausage sizzle, and cuppas were shared while discussions were held with caravaners on managing driver fatigue and safe travelling for motorists. Here, caravaners had their

spatial perception put to the test with a 'staying wider of the rider' activity. A bicycle had a corflute 'person' placed on the bike and from the driver's seat, people were asked to judge where they thought the 1 and 1.5 metre distances were. It turned out not to be as easy as it sounded and created great discussions on perception. Queensland Road Safety Week is all about helping people understand how they can keep themselves and others safe on the road. Road safety is about what people are going to

do every time they get in their car to put road safety first, and it is hoped these

activities will bring road safety back to the forefront of everyone's mind

Cassowary Coast Events Dominate the Weekend SEAN DENT

LAST Saturday was a busy one on the Cassowary Coast, mainly focused in and around Tully. It started on Butler Street at 8:30am, where the Tully and District Chamber of Commerce hosted an Art Deco event for residents and visitors, and there were plenty of both bustling around. People had been advised to head down for breakfast to either the Flame Tree Coffee Lounge or Petals and Beans, and did they ever! Both venues had an amazing morning businesswise. We were promised Jazz at Violet Smith Park if there was no room to sit at the coffee shops (and there was little if any room, as it happened), but the band was a little late arriving. Good Vibrations picked up the slack with a trio of instruments, playing old favourites outside their music store. People could listen to it in the background as they admired a bevy of old-time classic cars parked along Butler Street, some dating back as far as 1908. When the jazz band did take flight, well, they were pretty good overall with one standout performer: a 14-year-old on keyboards, a student at Tully State High School named Luke O’Neill. Most of the musicians in the band were north of 40, so this young man stood out because of his age and because of how composed he looked, especially when he was called upon to do a solo, which fazed him not one bit. No time for autograph collecting though because down at the Showgrounds, there was a flower exhibition, specifically the annual Tully Horticultural and Garden Club Flower Show. The word on the street was that people were suggesting they stop doing the flower show after this year. The large crowd obviously had their own opinion about that idea. There were hundreds of flowers and plants on display, and at 11:00am, a couple of experts demonstrated how to arrange a flower setting. Unfortunately, the large crowd worked against them and their instructions and advice were difficult to hear unless you got very close. Meanwhile, outside, a bus driver sat reading a novel. He told us that he’d brought a bunch of aficionados from Townsville, and they were already loading his bus with plants to take back home. Maybe the flower show has a little life in it yet. Quick, quick, though, no time to stop because back up at the Golden Gumboot, they had decided to attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the highest proportion of a Shire’s population wearing the same shirt? Plenty of people were in attendance wearing the shirt that Ray Evans designed for the Tame the Tully Rafting event a couple of months back. (Over 500 of the shirts were sold.) Evans orchestrated the crowd for the photographs beside the massive Golden Gumboot. Guinness declined the opportunity to ratify a world record, but a lot of fun was had nonetheless. Some may have wondered if Evans has a twin because he seemed to be everywhere that weekend. One of

those places was the Red Bull Defiance event in and around Mission Beach. We raced down there to see if we could catch any of the action, but were too late and had to settle for a better-planned visit on Sunday when the bike race would start on the beach near Castaways, and it has to be said, it did look spectacular. Among the spectators was Shane Knuth, the Member for Hill. Knuth is renowned for his prolific presence at events in the region. So ever-present is he, that when he’s not at an important event, you wonder what happened. When I saw him sipping a coffee outside Castaways as we all awaited the Red Bull cyclists, I mentioned to him that he missed a very interesting event at the MPC at Tully State HS the previous Thursday. He immediately apologised and told me his daughter had come up to see him, so he was unable to attend. I felt terrible: I was neither suggesting he should attend every single event, nor that he should miss time with his daughter on Father’s Day weekend. Some of our elected representatives go above and beyond for their constituents and should know that we appreciate all they do. Then, like the weekend it was, the cyclists were ready to take off, and we all raced down to either witness it or take photos. The cyclists raced along the beach, which was quite a spectacular sight for the onlookers and I’m sure for the cyclists, as it was a remarkable weekend weatherwise on one of our most beautiful beaches. I then raced up to the road back to Tully where the cyclists had to do a tricky manoeuvre across the main road, and there was a bit of a comedy of errors when several of them took a wrong turn, no fault of their own. It was comedy for us, but not so funny for them as they lost a lot of time in doubling back. Then it was up to Tully State HS for the Little Athletics, which I write a bit about in another section of this edition of the Cassowary Coast Independent News. In the middle of all that rushing around, many took advantage of movie night at the MPC in Tully State HS. They were showing the latest instalment in the How to Train Your Dragon series, which is a great movie, and they made it clear that they are looking for signs of interest from the community to see if they should continue to show movies on a regular basis. In fact, it’s more than just a movie and some fairly tasty grub: there were door prizes and raffles too to get the crowd excited. Before the main feature, they also had dancing for those interested in showing their moves. The kids probably loved it more than a visit to a regular movie theatre. Some brought blankets and the like to lay on the floor, and most of them got there early and were able to run around and blow off some steam. All in all, it was a fun if exhausting weekend in the region on an absolutely perfect day.

Tully Tightass Boogie Team Attempts Bouncy Castle Landing SEAN DENT

Tully Tightass Boogie Team member just barely misses the castle

COLOURFUL parachutes littered the skies above Tully the weekend before last, when a bunch of out-of-towners made their way to the camping ground and building beside Tully Airport for a couple of days of freefalling from 12,000-15,000 feet. About half of the skydivers are visitors from NSW and the outer reaches of Queensland, and from a community point of view, it’s great to see anyone coming for a visit to our little slice of paradise, but I have to admit that this particular group is more intriguing than most for me personally. I’ve done a few parachute jumps in my life, and there’s not a lot of experiences I’ve had that quite compare. It’s an adrenalin rush, obviously, but the one thing that stood out for me when I did it was just how quiet it is up there. I’ve read about the quietest places on earth, and they are defined by how far they are from mechanical devices that make noise, including planes, but usually there are animal sounds intruding on your silence. Within 30 seconds of jumping, the plane

is out of earshot, and you’re still 10km from the ground, and there is nothing up there to make a sound. It’s a few minutes of pure uninterrupted peace. That said, these skydivers are different. They call themselves the Tully Tightass Boogie team. They all have a minimum of 50 jumps recorded and they have passed tests that allow them to land in tight areas, for example, at Mission Beach. In other words, they’ve reached a level of proficiency where we can trust they won’t kill some poor unsuspecting member of the public out for a beach walk. On this particular weekend, they set up a bouncy castle in the middle of the field beside Tully Airport, and thenskydivers attempted to land in the castle. It was a difficult challenge that I didn’t witness anyone achieving, but it was fun to watch them try. For the out-of-towners, they also got to see the beautiful mountains and rainforests from a perspective even multi-generational locals have not seen.

RURAL REPORT

Barrier Reef Protection Act SARI HYYTINEN

THERE appears to be lots of controversy on the impact on farmers from proposed changes to regulations in the Barrier Reef Protection Act. The Queensland government Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Minister for Science and Minister for the Arts, The Honourable Leeanne Enoch released a report Friday 30 that states why more action needs to be done to improve water quality. The findings of the report “shows the quality of water flowing into the Reef was not improving fast enough.” CCIN spoke with Peter Jackson (Jacko) a primary producer of sugar cane with a farm in the Murray Upper area near Euramo, QLD. Jacko informed CCIN, “I spent several years on a steering committee and a couple of years on a water board back in the 90s and it was at that time that these water quality issues, and other issues raised their head. I have been able to put what I believe in place to come up with the outcomes that the government at the time wanted.” Jacko was part of a program where they electro fished on his farm back in 2004. A fish was tagged at 345mm and recaptured five

months later 508mm. He grew 163mm in five months, which speaks to the health of the water on the farm. In the last year, Jacko hit a healthy-looking Barramundi in this farm as he deepened the main drain. In a casual observance of the drain Monday 2, it has ribbon weed and freshwater muscles, which are an indicator of a healthy water system. Over the years Jacko has found the different groups were not discussing their finding with each other, and due to the lack of appropriate communication between the different groups, Jacko decided not to become a member of BMP. Jacko reports that he is using an app called farm guardian to record the nutrients and pesticides utilised on his farm which in turn ensures his water quality and wonders why this system doesn’t receive as much attention as BMP. CCIN had looked at some of the research provided by Jacko, and notes that the evidence in the report from the Australian Institute of Marine science in 2001 states that “River sediment delivered to the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon from the Herbert and Burdekin River is almost totally contained in coastal embayments near the river mouth (Hinchinbrook Channel, Mis-

sionary Bay, Rockingham Bay for the Herbert, and Upstart, Bowling Green, and Cleveland Bay for the Burdekin).” Recently Dr Peter Ridd has been touring Queensland to express alternative information on what he reports are questionable claims that have been made during the creation of new legislation being proposed to farmers.

Dr Ridd is not the first academic to question whether the science is being correctly interpreted when investigating the impact by farming on climate change, on the Great Barrier Reef and bleaching. Gregg J. Brunskill a professor from James Cook University wrote a letter to Jacko in 2016 stating, “This bleaching is not the result of river runoff, which in any case is small and little

shire. Three police cars, an ambulance, and a fire truck had to turn up when a young man attempted to reverse his boat down a boat ramp, losing both to the Murray River. Someone at some point clearly designed and built the concrete-based boat ramp, but it’s treacherous and can be intensely

slippery. Additionally, a few steps into the water, the shelf drops suddenly about 20 feet.

On this occasion, the 18-year-old’s boat seemed to slip over that sudden drop just in the Murray River, and then dragged his vehicle in after it, leaving both boat and vehicle virtually totally submerged. According to Wiltshire, the vehicle had been uninsured for about a week, leaving the young man devastated by the financial loss. The situation could have been even worse as the young man and a passenger were in the vehicle at the time it disappeared under the water. Apart from the danger of drowning, there are several crocodiles in the area that might have sensed dinner was calling them. While CCIN was investigating the area, a gentleman and his wife turned up and said they were looking for the boat ramp in the area that they’d found on Google.

This is what was left of the car that the Murray River sucked in

er from mass mortality events such as cyclones and bleaching, and the science supposedly showing damage to the reef has been properly checked, tested and replicated. When CCIN asked Jacko what his view on the current new changes to the reef protection act he answered, “I'm sure that there's other legislation out there that has been set aside and rejected because it doesn't tell the story that they want to tell.” Farmers held a protest in Townsville Tuesday 3 where they talked about how regulations need to adhere to science. CCIN will keep you informed of how things are progressing with farmers.

affected by agriculture for most of the Cape York coast north of Cairns.” Dr Ridd has provided research to contradict claims that the reef is being smothered by mud/sediment from farms; plumes of mud carried in river floods are killing the reef, fertilizer is causing Crown of Thorns Starfish plagues that eat coral, Crown of Thorns Starfish plagues are unnatural, pesticides from farms are killing the reef, pharmaceuticals from human waste is a risk to the reef, the water quality of reefs waters is degraded, coral cover has declined, coral growth rates have slowed, coral does not recov-

and working option for fishermen in the area. He called Cr Glenn Raleigh, who said he’d gone down to look at the scene to see what could be done. Raleigh told Wiltshire, “We’ll have to get Tom to come and do a study of it and put in a proposal.” Wiltshire stressed to the councillor that the people who use the boat ramp do not want it shut down, and he said Raleigh agreed with that principle. Wiltshire also told Raleigh that the residents along Bluff Road would be happy to do any work necessary if council would provide the materials. We contacted Raleigh. He told us that the man named Tom that he referred to is Tom Sanders, Manager Asset Maintenance at Cassowary Coast Regional Council, and that Sanders would assess the risks and set out a plan to move forward. Raleigh believed that the boat ramp would not need to be shut down, and in fact also suggested that if refuse collection goes that far, that council would install rubbish bins for the use of fishermen. At this point, there is nowhere to put rubbish and campers and/or fishermen leave their rubbish at improvised locations near the river.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Silkwood State School Community Benefit From Upgrade

Circus of Life Takes St Clare’s Kids on a Journey of Self-Awareness SEAN DENT

Mrs Speziali and Silkwood State School students at the front of the school which shows the new fencing

Teacher aide Mrs Speziali and Silkwood State School students check out the school’s newly upgraded tuckshop MARIA GIRGENTI THE Silkwood State School community has started term three sporting a few changes with new fencing around the school grounds, complete tuckshop upgrade and installation of nine air conditioning units in A block. After the June/July holidays, the school also welcomed back Principal Mrs Khadeeja Mohammed who paid tribute to Sandra Clarris for doing fabulous job as Acting Principal during Mohammed’s absence. Since last term, Ken Hamill from Tully State School has been team teaching Years 4, 5 and 6 in collaboration with Mohammed. Hamill has also been training students in League tag in preparation for Billy Slater Tag Challenge in November, as well as softball/teeball carnival being held at Chappa Chappa Park this month. With financial assistance from Department of Education and Silkwood State School P & C Association, the school now has new fencing supplied by Terry Murray Constructions from Cairns, a complete tuckshop refurbishment and nine air conditioner units installed by D’Urso Air Conditioning & Electrical in A Block in preparation for summer. The P & C Association contributed $6,000 towards the full refit of the tuckshop which included new stainless-steel benches, while the Education Department contributed to the new cabinets, counter tops, resealing, painting and new floor. Last year, Tuckshop Ladies Auxiliary secured a $2,500 volunteers grant through Department of Social Services which was used to purchase a new commercial grade sandwich press, slicer and barbecue. A Colour Explosion Fun Run and Market Night, which is a P & C fundraiser, is scheduled for September 13 and after feedback received from last year it will start from 5:00pm to avoid the heat of the day. Registration is open to everyone and entry to the obstacle course colour explosion is $5 per person or $20 per family with the event providing a great opportunity for some colourful family fun. It is recommended to wear white for the best effect of the colour powder and participants might like to bring a towel and spare set of clothes as there will be optional water stations as part of the obstacle course. A 3 x 3 metre market stall site will cost $10, and anyone wanting to book a stall site for the night markets can message Silkwood State School Facebook page or phone the school on 4065 1333. Year 4 - 6 students are also looking forward to going on camp from September 18 - 20 at Mont Albion cattle station in Irvinebank which is owned by Mena Creek residents Tom and Dianne Maulo

IF you want to get kids to listen to a lecture about subjects such as respect and kindness, step one is to get them to sit on a hardwood floor in a group of about 150 for about an hour. Don’t worry, they’ll all be quiet and listen to your every word without fidgeting or talking amongst themselves. No! Child psychologists suggest speaking with our children without looking them in the eye or asking directly about topics. For example, ask a kid if bullying is wrong and you’ll get the same answer 150 times out of 150, and you’ll never know what they really think. You need to circle around to the subject, which takes skill. Llynda Nairn visited St Clare’s Primary School last week. She is not a child psychologist; she’s a juggler and a master of misdirection. She had to be to get all those kids to not just sit quietly for nearly an hour, but to have them enraptured, hanging on her every word and act, and at times, waving their hands furiously at the opportunity to go up on stage with her. Her skills extend way beyond juggling (which once saw her come in seventh place in a worldwide juggling competition in New York City). She writes, she produces, she performs, she’s won multiple Mo awards, multiple Frater Awards, has been performing since she was 14, and she never makes a mistake. So when she fumbled within the first ten minutes, sending a couple of juggling clubs hurtling toward the kids in the crowd, we

should have known something was up. Likewise, when she interrupted her show to read a text message on her phone. I’m not sure how many kids suspended disbelief or were outright fooled by these foibles, but count me among them. We got sucked in to a story about a woman who cruelly dismissed a friend who’d wanted only to be a part of her show, and that friend retaliated by shaming her on social media, sending out the video of Nairn dropping the clubs, threatening her self-esteem and her livelihood. Nairn took a bit of a break and brought us all backstage where she could regroup and regain her calm by engaging in various games with the kids and, over the course of 40 minutes or so, getting their advice on how to deal with the situation. Nairn pondered, “Why would she do that to me?” One astute young man raised his hand and pointed out that her friend probably felt hurt and rejected, and probably lashed out. Yeah, Nairn had to agree, that was probably what happened, and a perfectly normal reaction it was. The crowd then helped Nairn to figure out that she ought to apologise to her slighted friend, which seemed to please everyone. I’m sure many of them bought into the idea that they were helping to teach Nairn about how to be a better person and a better friend, and they did it with remarkable wisdom and humour. The adults in the crowd also seemed to enjoy the process, with smiles pasted to

The kids could not take their eyes off Llynda Nairn

Kids came up on stage to help Nairn promote some worthy qualities their faces for most of the show, and hats off to Nairn for keeping everyone entertained as she introduced some concepts we’d all do better to practice.

New Tartan Surface Delivers Personal Bests for Little Athletes

SEAN DENT TULLY State High School hosted a Little Athletics event last weekend, with contestants from all around the region turning up to take part in a host of events on both Saturday and Sunday. The big attraction was the introduction of the newly installed Tartan long jump track. For events like these, the kids are always pushing for a personal best (PB). For instance, in the longer distance races, the frontrunners were often way, way out in front. They could have easily coasted home for the win, but none of the runners slowed down. Medals were cool, but PBs ruled the day. Now, usually when these events offer a long jump event, the kids are jumping off grass, which doesn’t provide the best launch pad. It’s a bit slippery even when it’s dry, especially compared to Tartan track, which is an all-weather surface used since 1968 for the

A huge jump off the world class Tartan surface

Taking flight to a new PB off the Tartan surface

most elite competitions around the world. This track itself was donated to the school by the Australian Commonwealth Games Committee, and the school officials worked hard to get it ready in time. In turn, a couple of the athletes seemed to be licking their chops in anticipation. One girl was doing her preparations before her long-jump event and marked a spot in the sand. One of the dads asked, “Is that her PB?” A man who appeared to be the girl’s dad smiled and said, “No, that’s way past her PB.” In other words, she was going for it! Her first jump, usually the most tentative in such events, matched her PB. Her next one beat that by a significant margin, and while she was pumped with that result, she was not finished – you could see it in her eyes. The next four successive jump surpassed each one before, sending a jolt through her body each time, and eventually she beat her PB by about

20cm: a huge margin in the long jump. A boy in the triple jump, using the same tartan track, had similar ambitions. Nobody was really challenging him for the gold, but again, he was competing against himself and very aware when he landed that he’d completed a great jump, even if not entirely sure until the judges announced his scores that he’d crushed it. He left the track feeling proud and happy, but seemingly unsurprised. These are our future champions, and it’s great to see them get the chance to excel on a world class surface. But there were sweet moments too. At one medal presentation, the silver medal winner took the time while on the podium to fix the ribbon that draped around the gold medal winner’s neck. And as they stepped down, the silver medal winner wrapped her arm around the overall champ, and gave her an affectionate and sincere hug, sportsmanship being the winner in that event.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Families flock to Mundoo State School Fete

The Good Counsel College Cultural Dance Group: Maree, Angel and Marjorie Tagget along with Nam and Nat Namma entertained the crowds with their traditional Thai and Filipino dance performances MARIA GIRGENTI HUNDREDS of families took advantage of the fine weather and streamed through the gates at the annual Mundoo State School Fete held recently and organised by Mundoo P & C Association. The evening was kept buzzing with stalls, cent sale, monster raffle and banana eating contest while the amusement and tractor rides proved hugely popular. Six students aged between 12 and 14 from Tait’s Family Martial Arts put on a Hapkido demonstration which they worked on for months. There was also live entertainment by Danceworks Academy and Innisfail State College jazz and string concert bands. Good Counsel College Cultural Dance

Group also enthralled the large crowd with their traditional Thai and Filipino dance performances, including the popular Tinikling. Maree, Angel and Marjorie Tagget along with Nam and Nat Namma, encouraged members of the audience to join in and learn this favourite Filipino folk dance. The annual family event has been hailed a huge success with takings up, and all funds raised going back into the school for students’ education. In the past couple of months, Mundoo State School has been a hive of activity and is looking fresh and new. The entrance boasts a brand-new school sign funded by the P&C Association.

The school community wished to thank Mr Les Moule for painting the existing posts and erection of the sign. Moule, with the assistance of Mr Bartlett, has also been busy with the removal of stumps and trees from the gardens in preparation for planting new vegetation. Old sand in the Prep to Year 3 playground has been removed and replenished with fresh new sand, thanks to the P&C Association, and the school is extremely grateful to these two men who volunteered their services for the day. The school has been given a refreshing facelift after having been painted with striking white and blues which has really brightened up the buildings. At the Cassowary Coast Baby and Children’s Expo at ANZAC Park on September 14, Mundoo State School P & C will be running a sausage sizzle as a fundraiser. Mundoo State School is now taking enrolments for Prep 2020 with the Get Set For Prep program starting on September 4 and runs every Wednesday until September 18 from 9:00am to 11:00am. The transition program supports a positive start to school and also promotes children’s well-being, social and academic success. It aims to minimise children’s experience of adjustment difficulties and highlights the importance of working and building positive relationships with families. Enrolment packages are available and further information can be obtained by calling the school on 4064 2250 or via email: admin@mundooss.eq.edu.au.

TUFFA Awards Night Inspires a Talented Generation

TSHS band with Topology members after a successful show. CLARE WATSON THE 2019 TUFFA Awards night presented by Topology and Tully State High School (TSHS) at the TSHS last Wednesday August 28 was an amazing collaboration of hard work and talent. Local Cassowary Coast schools had the privilege of learning from esteemed Brisbane based leaders in the Australian music industry, Topology. Working in collaboration with Topology through a program called “Top Up”, where Topology travels throughout rural QLD and Northern Territory, the students from schools in and around Tully put on a spectacular film-making and music writing show, bigger and better than anything they had done before. “Tonight was a compilation of original music, with original movies,” said Karen Stewart, Instrumental Music Teacher at TSHS. The concept was a 1930s style film festival where the TSHS band played the entire musical backing tracks for short films

created by Mission Beach State School (SS), Lower Tully SS, TSHS music club, and locals from the community. Mission Beach SS showed their film Lockdown, a short drama where all the children at school went into lockdown (and extreme panic) because there was a stranger spotted at school. Turns out the stranger was a character’s sister bringing her lunch that she forgot! Another film called “Lloyd” was an artistically shot music video. Stewart sang the audio in real life whilst keeping perfect time with the lip syncing in the corresponding video. It was an emotional story about a local cane farmer, Lloyd, who got cancer and left his beloved hometown to go to Cambodia in his last days. Mission Beach’s film rendition of Romeo and Juliet was an especially well made piece of drama, along with TSHS Music Club’s Macbeth. Lower Tully did a musical number

with well-rehearsed choreography to a beautiful film playing alongside about how great their school life is. “The lower Tully school song was great. They were super keen, and I hope they keep singing,” said John Babbage, who is the Program Director for “Top Up”, a professional Saxophonist, and a Composer. MC for the night Dr. Gecko handed out Awards, which were bananas, and some were already eaten before the talented youngsters returned to their seats. Towards the end of the night the banana stock began to dwindle (much to Dr. Gecko’s shock, being in Tully and all), and some of the award receivers had to do a Banana Split, as Stewart put it. Topology has been doing composing and music workshops with TSHS since 2014. “It’s all about the kids and forcing them out of their comfort zone to create new music and ideas” said Babbage. This particular event has been in the works since early this year, when Stewart said to Babbage, “Why not do a Film Festival!” The students have been working on weekends and spent the last four days rehearsing with Topology to play everything perfectly. Lining up the band music with the movies was especially finicky, so Stewart and the members of Topology had a click playing through their ear pieces to keep the entire band in perfect timing. From the audience’s perspective, the 2019 Tuffa Awards were an amazing show of musical and media talent that flowed seamlessly. “It is creation, it is original music, and it is culture,” said Stewart. Richard Graham, the Principal of TSHS, said “It was such a simple concept with spectacular results!” Families, friends, proud parents, and community members cheered on the students and other entrants, marvelling at their hard work. “That’s what’s great about these projects, they are a platform for kids who want to take it to another level,” Stewart said.

Deadly Bush Dinner

Provides Life Lessons to Tully State HS Students

Clarke acknowledges the great work done by all the kids

800 plates were served during the course of the night SEAN DENT WHEN we send our kids to school, we hope it does more than teach them equations and conjugations, geography and history. We hope it prepares them somewhat for life in the real world. Sometimes, it can be asking too much. Teachers have a curriculum to follow with boundaries that restrict them. That’s what makes these Deadly Bushfoods Dinners so valuable. Bend your mind for a few minutes around the concept of hosting a dinner party where you feed, let’s say eight people. That’s a significant amount of work that tends to leave most hosts exhausted by the end of the evening, staring at the dirty dishes and thinking, “Tomorrow!” Version two of the Deadly Bushfoods Dinner took place a year ago and fed 100 people. Cat Clarke, the Tully State HS teacher who orchestrated the event had plenty of hands, no argument there. But those hands had to be coordinated and motivated to provide multiple courses to 100 people. Having more people working around each other creates more challenges, not less. Last week, in version three, they doubled the number of guests to 200! Going back to our dinner party analogy, that’s like changing the number of guests from eight to 16 at the last moment. Tell me that wouldn’t send most hosts into a mild panic attack. It’s what they call a teaching moment, and Clarke embraced it. They have a decent-sized kitchen at the MPC, but the door space in and out of that kitchen is limited, and there’s no doubt they prepared for this challenge. Cooks were getting plates ready, and servers were filing in and out, bringing the plates from the kitchen to the tables where hungry, curious guests awaited their meals. One of the objectives of our own CCIN Cadet Program is to give students real-world opportunities and experience that they can not only take with them, but also put on their resume. Cat Clarke has the same idea. She tells them, “Based on what we are doing here, I believe all of you can have your own kitchen, restaurant, wine bar, or whatever one day.” She also tells them they’ll have to work hard to get there. “They have to put in the time, washing dishes, etc. And they get no sympathy from me because I had to do it.” (She said she loved being a chef, but acknowledged it was hard work and she left it behind and went to teaching so she could spend more time with her son, who incidentally was part of this evening.) Of course, a huge part of the Deadly Bush Dinners is the reconciliation side of things, and the many tribal elders in attendance were impressed with not just the meals, but the language used to describe the various courses. On top of that, Bumma Biper Media (98.7 FM in Cairns) was there to broadcast the whole event live, including interviews with Principal, Richard Graham and Clarke herself. The signal was broadcast back to Cairns and then repeated from the studio there to various indigenous populations around FNQ. In wrapping up the evening, Clarke acknowledged that it had been challenging and exhausting, but she was proud of her students and brought them all on stage to deflect any accolades from the guests away from her, and in the direction of the kids who pulled the evening off masterfully. You could see in their faces they were proud of what they’d accomplished and grateful for the opportunity to show what they could do. It will take them as far in life as they choose to go, and that applies even if they decide not to open their own restaurants. As Graham pointed out, the lessons of teamwork and cooperation learned here are transferable to any future occupation.

TALENTED INDIGENOUS CHILDREN ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR FNQ SOCCER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

JAMIE Gosling Football Academy is proud to announce the next round of Far North Queensland’s first ever soccer scholarship program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The 12-month scholarships, which begin in Term 4 (October-December 2019) and are valued at $800 each, will see local Indigenous children aged between 6-12 years offered free elite coaching and mentoring at the region’s number one soccer academy. The program, which began in 2017, has already seen four Indigenous children successfully complete the year-long scholarships, based at Stratford Football Club. Last year’s recipient – Julianna-Bree Talbot-Cooke – has since made the Under 15 Girls Peninsula representative team, as well as starring for Cairns State High School as they made history by becoming the first Cairns school to qualify for the Bill Turner Trophy national fi-

nal. JGFA is now calling for nominations from FNQ football clubs and the local football community to identify other talented Indigenous players, as well as sponsors for the innovative program. JGFA Director of Football Jamie Gosling said Cairns Colonial Club Resort had already come on board as a sponsor of the program in 2019, with the hope of further sponsors signing on to help expand the program. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity for junior Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander football players in the Cairns region," said Jamie. “I’d like to say a huge thank you to Cairns Colonial Club Resort for coming on board as a program sponsor and helping to make it happen. “We’re also hoping to attract extra sponsors, so we can provide more Indigenous players the chance to train and play at a higher level.

“When I’m at Endeavour Park on a Saturday watching junior games, I always notice how many talented Indigenous players I see playing football. "I've also run football programs for Indigenous children at Cairns West State School and have previously held clinics for children from Weipa, and I really enjoy enhancing their love for football. “Often, these children are not offered the same development opportunities other children are through academy programs such as JGFA. “I’m passionate about making sure kids get equal opportunities, especially those displaying a natural talent for the beautiful game. “JGFA’s mission is to develop these young players with extra specialist coaching for the ultimate benefit of their local clubs and FNQ football in general. “We want to develop them as individuals, and ultimately strengthen junior soccer in the

region. “Through this exciting scholarship program, we can offer soccer-mad Indigenous children the chance to develop their game like never before, and will be looking to expand the program in the coming years." Cairns Colonial Club Resort General Manager Damian Lyth said he was delighted to partner with JGFA on the innovative opportunity for Indigenous children. “We’re excited to be part of such an awesome program. Great work Jamie and the team at JGFA,” he said. Parents, guardians, coaches and community members are now encouraged to send in applications for interested children. Deadline for applications is Sunday 15 September 2019, with successful applicants to be notified by Friday 20 September 2019. Applications can be made at www.jgfa.com.au/ indigenous

During the year, Camilleri hits the road for a few months to run squash coaching camps and clinics throughout Queensland and would love to return and conduct a clinic in her hometown of Tully if there is enough interest. Recently, Camilleri was involved in coaching 10 juniors for four days at the Queensland Junior Championships held at Daisy Hill Squash Club. In 2017, Camilleri was awarded 2016 Female Player of the Year Award at the Q Squash Annual Awards in Townsville in the same year she retired from professional squash tour after 17 years. Camilleri who grew up on a banana farm at Murray Upper, started playing squash at the age of six for the Tully Tigers Squash Club and at the age of eight first had dreams of playing for Australia in the Commonwealth Games. Every year from the age of nine, Camilleri won the Queensland junior championships in an unbroken run throughout her junior career. This success culminated with her being selected to lead the Australia team at the 2001 World Junior Women's Championships in Malaysia. She completed her education at Murray Upper State School and Tully State High.

Her highest world ranking was 28 and she represented Australia five times, once in her junior years at the Women’s Junior World Championships and three times during her senior years in World Doubles, Women’s Senior World Championships, as well as two Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 2014. Since 2001, after her career commenced on the Women’s International Squash Players Association tour (WSA), Camilleri has won 21 titles. Ideally, Camilleri said she would love to pass on a lot of her experience and knowledge to others in coaching and help improve their game. Camilleri still has strong family ties in Murray Upper as her parents still live there, and her brother Mark now runs her parent's farm which has been converted from bananas to sugarcane and cattle. Last month, she returned to her hometown for four days to visit family and for aunties, uncles and grandparents to meet her baby. Anyone interested in attending a future coaching clinic in Tully can register their interest by sending a message via Lisa Camilleri’s Facebook page.

SPORT to bring home the bacon.

Tigers News with Shane Muriata AS the footy season ended early for the Tigers, there wasn’t much complaining going on when I found plenty of time to snag a couple of metre barras in icy conditions up the Davison, but I quickly checked a few scores regarding the CDRL Final series that was happening on the weekend which sprang a few surprises. Self-proclaimed Vin Diesel lookalike and great mate Leon Hallie’s Leps cruised past the Yarrabah Seahawks in controversial style (he wouldn’t have it any other way) when they put themselves one game away from another grand final

appearance. Yarry have always been their own worst enemies in these type of games, so they have a week to sort out what they need to do when they face an in-form Atherton side, full of confidence after they smashed the Brethren 34-4 in their elimination final. Mossman had the week off, and will be vying for Innisfail, but I won’t write our Cassowary Coast cousins off just yet. My pick a few weeks ago was the Roosters of the tablelands, but if the Jubilee Bridge mob can get one over the Sharks and move into the 2019 decider, then I will back our neighbours

With the NRL story coming to the final chapters of the 2019 showdown, let’s all be reminded of the Broncos beating Parramatta in golden point. No reason to bring it up, just the fact that we won, that’s all. It was a sad night at Cowboys headquarters last weekend, not because they almost got the wooden spoon, but it was the last time the famous ground out at Willows will host an NRL game ever again. It’s been a testing 20 something years for the faithfuls of the north, making the trek to the once-famous stadium that had a few name changes over recent years. Stockland Stadium, Dairy Farmer Stadium and finally 1300Smiles. When it came time for the last lap of the grounds for our heroes, it brought back one of my favourite memories

of all time when I was just 15 years old. My dad came to me and my brother one afternoon when we got home from school and announced “Boys, we are going to Townsville for football.” As we arrived, it was a scene like no other. This was the night North Qld could lay claim to their own team and cheer for them as they played. Of course, Terry Lamb’s Canterbury Bulldogs may have been too strong that evening for our guys, but I still get goose bumps thinking back to night one when the crowd went off when Lee Kernaghan belted out that famous tune. Watching the boys run out and hear that roar is something I won’t ever forget. There was no disappointment, no sorry faces that the Cows had just lost, but a feeling of fulfilment that the north had arrived in the big show. Truly a highlight

of a young man’s footy life. One of the most asked question I receive from many parents is, “Is it even really important to have my kids involved in sports?” Well, it’s not compulsory, but it’s something I recommend, is always my answer. Probably more than ever in today’s society, many kids now have so many distractions and temptations to take a path that does not lead to a good life, which in turn leads to a difficult situation when things turn pear shaped. Sports offer fitness, but the growth of endurance should be only a bonus. Working with others, getting along and accepting people’s ability in any field are the real lessons. Knowing a person’s background and their struggles was one of the greatest blessings I received playing sport,

because it taught me not everyone is dealt good cards in life. It gave you a chance to walk a mile in someone else’s shoe, and that’s how we become decent human beings, just understanding your fellow man. Sure you can get this lesson elsewhere, but not as fun and readily available as a Tuesday arvy kicking a soccer ball down at Kim Carrol Oval or bowling a few leg breaks at the legendary Miller Oval. I’m not saying you have to join a sport to have a good life, but making friends through coaching, cheering, playing, meeting or just washing the jerseys, well, that’s a gig I think I might love more than fried chicken itself. So, if you’re out and about spear fishing, fishing, skiing, hiking or just out getting the heart pumping, enjoy it, because life is to short I reckon.

Golf

Tropical Coast Veterans R ESULTS August 27

The Tropical Coast Veteran Golfers hosted a return visit of the Rowes Bay Veterans on Tuesday at the Ingham Golf Club. The Ladies event was won by local golfer, Sue Cameron with an impressive 41 Stableford score from Rowes Bay’s Margaret Shultink on 38. Top of the run down was Cheryl Lloyd (Ingham) 37, followed by Lyn Martin and Joan Lloyd of Rowes Bay, Kass Marshall (Tully) 36, Betty Favier (Tully) 35, Angie Simpson (Rowes Bay) 35 and Wendy Gibson (Hawkes Nest) on 34.

THE sea conditions were good enough over the weekend for the larger boats to travel out wide to fish the main reefs. The next two months are the best time of year to fish for Coral Trout and most boats reported reasonable to very good catches. Most boats also managed some nice Red Throat Sweet Lip and the odd Spanish Mackerel. Boats that fished the deep water also did well, mostly Nannygai and the occasional Red Emperor. Closer in around the shale patches in the shipping channel, it has been a little hit and miss; most are reporting seeing good numbers of Mackerel but are having problems getting them to bite. There are still a few Spotty Mackerel around but mostly the catch has been made up of school sized Spanish and Doggy Mackerel. There has also been some nice Grass Sweet

Lex Coutts from NZ caught this Spanish Mackerel slow trolling a wolf herring at the family group islands

Lip and just legal Nannygai reported caught as well. Spanish Mackerel are still around the Family Group of islands, however the numbers have dropped off over the last week. I have heard of some good Spaniards hooked and lost to sharks at Forty Foot. This is normal now and proving to be a real problem at most of the more productive spots. Cathedral Rock is still producing some nice fish, but you have to work for them. My boat managed a nice 15kg Spaniard on Saturday, but we put in a couple of hours trolling to hook it. I think it is too early for them to start migrating south, so I am hoping the fishing will improve this weekend. This is the time of year we catch the big Spanish Mackerel. Those bottom fishing have managed some nice Grass Sweet Lip and a surprising number of Island Trout. I have not heard of any Fingermark or Grunter caught around the islands, but we are coming in to the prime time and we should see some good catches shortly. The estuary fishing has been very good for this time of year with some fantastic catches of

both Mangrove Jacks and Barra. My Manager Derek and Tony Mossop managed some cracker Barra in the Hinchinbrook area on Sunday; the fish responded to both soft vibes and soft plastics. There have also been plenty of Bream, Flathead and some nice grunter being caught. The mud crab numbers have dropped off but there are still a few being caught. I have heard of some good numbers of Sooty Grunter and Jungle Perch being caught in the freshwater reaches of the Tully river. Despite this I struggled; maybe the fish are still lower down in the river and haven`t started to move upstream to breed yet. At the time of writing this report, the weather forecast for this weekend is for near perfect conditions on Saturday and the wind rising through Sunday to 10 to 15 knots. If this is correct, there is a great opportunity for the larger boats to travel out to the main reefs. Either side of the midday low tide will suit chasing Barra and Jacks in the estuaries. If you wish to chase Grunter try either side of the early morning or evening high tide. The midday low tide will cause some problems at the shallower boat ramps.

Still ONA Mission

SARI HYYTINEN

ONA Mission ran part of their course in collaboration with Red Bull’s weekend events last weekend. This is the first year of a three-year partnership. The partnership of the two events was complementary to the different types of competitors who participated on the events. “We even had competitors who had their mates doing the Red Bull and they gave ONA Mission ago. They complemented each other really well,” said Richard Blanchette, President of Cassowary Coast Multisport club. The purpose of running the two events in conjunction with each other is to “put Mission Beach on the sporting map,” said Joel Savage the Event Director for the Red Bull defiance/ONA Mission weekend. ONA Mission’s multisport event is the

biggest event for their year and being able to hold it in conjunction with Red Bull has the potential to increase the branding of ONA Mission. “Seven years ago we were literally a bug. We were a bicycle users’ group which is called a bug. After a few years a couple of locals got courageous and put their hand up to start a club, and here we are in 2019, and we have had our little club logo sharing space with a world rafting championship and now Red Bull. This is unbelievable!” said Blanchette. There was some disappointment from the local businesses based in the hub at Mission Beach as the end of the track had been changed last minute from the Hub to Castaways Resort. The local businesses had gone to an effort to set up a market based on the agreement that the Hub would be the end point of the races.
