Top 5 Sports Movies of all Time

THURSDAY night used to be so simple, 7pm turn on the tellie, sit back, feet up and scream at the television, ‘watch the 10…. He’s been doing it all night…. Come on ref… kick your guide dog… he’s gone to sleep’.

Now we get excited watching Gordon the gecko slowly inching his way up the outside wall as he stalks that complacent moth.

Will Gordon win? Will Monty the moth fly off before Gordon can pounce? Is that moth doomed to be consumed? What are the current odds on Sportsbet? If Monty is up by half time will Sportsbet pay out?

Thursday night has forever changed, and some could say for the better, so long as you do not cheer for the moths.

With the cessation of live sports on television I thought I would be timely to review the Top 5 Sports movies of all time.

Log onto your streaming service, dust out the old dvd’s and lean back, feet up, cold beverage in hand and settle down to scream and cheer just like the first time you watched these classics.

Number 5 – White Men Can’t Jump.

A 1992 American sports comedy starring Woody Harrelson (Cheers) and Wesley Snipes (Coming 2 America).

A streetball comedy where unsuspecting chumps and duped into thinking a bumbling white boy could not possibly play basketball, primarily because of the colour of his skin. A great feel good movie great basketball action, 3 pointers and heaps of hangtime and more air than Jordon.

Number 4 – Karate Kid. Wax on… wax off, he was taught the secret to karate lies in the mind and hearts and not in his hands. Released in 1984 Karate Kid tells the story of a bullied teenager desperately seeking to win the affections of a beautiful girl. Starring Ralph Macchio (My Cousin Vinny), Pat Morita Arnold in Happy Days) and Elisabeth Shue (Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future Part II and III).

A classic, boy meets girl, boy falls in love, boy get in fight, gets the living suitcase beaten out of himself, but comes back with a highly unusual move, ‘the crane’, smashing his opponent into the a quivering mess and wins the affection of the girl forever, and chaired out of the ring by an adoring public, what’s not to like.

Gee sounds like a Rocky Movie.

Number 3 – Chariots of Fire. Winner of 4 Academy Awards from 7 nominations, Chariots of Fire was a memorable movie from 1981. It’s title was inspired by the line “bring me my chariots of fire’, from the William Blake poem And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time.

Chariots of Fire tells the story of two great runners from the University of

Cambridge who compete in the 1924 Paris Olympics. In an era before drugs in sport, Chariots of Fire blends willpower and natural talent along with a stirring storyline and a great soundtrack. Still one of my favorite all-time movies.

Number 2 – Ali. Perhaps the greatest sporting bio-pic of all times, definitely about the greatest boxer of all generations, Muhammad Ali. It might have bombed at the box office but Will Smith captured the essence of Ali and transferred it to the big screen with class and power.

Ali will always be remembered as the greatest boxer with a sharp wit and unflinching belief in himself as well as the social issues that surrounded America during that era.

I can remember the opening ceremony of Atlanta Olympic 1996, with Ali lighting the Olympic Flame, seeing a proud and strong man, 36 years after winning gold in Rome. This biopic could never do justice to the career of this fighter, nor could it adequately underline the generations who grew up seeing and believing in a man who symbolised equality for all men in the ring, but Will Smith breathed life into Ali and left a lasting indelible legacy to this once great man.

Now, stop the alarm clock, crack the raw egg heart-starter, dust out the old grey sweat suit and cue the music from Bill Conti – Gonna Fly Now, it’s time for Number 1 Rocky, and all seven sequels.

Now the plot is a bit twee, with the same depth as the vocabulary of its star Sylvester Stallone, but this movie has some of the greatest action fight scenes of all times.

Slow motion, closeups of pain and flying sweat and a storyline that is guaranteed to draw you in tighter and closer than a clinch with the ear-bitter ‘Iron Mike’.

Rocky follows the fortunes of a poorly educated, well-meaning Italian-American boxer Rocky Balboa as he is offered a shot at the top by Apollo Creed. Surrounded by his community his girlfriend Adrian, Trainer Mickey and friend Paulie, Rocky launches, lurches, falls, rises, falls again and again and eventually wins the fight on a split decision.

This judge’s decision is clearly Rocky is a knockout, a true heart thumping soul stirring winner, guaranteed to have you out of your chair, doing star jumps in the lounge and one armed push-ups by the tens, or maybe less in this case.

Well that’s the Top 5 Sports movies; next week maybe we should consider the Top 5 Bathurst Races and moments.

Until then, ease back into that lounge, feet up and drift into blissful sleep dreaming of past sporting glories and eagerly awaiting the return of the NRL.

Mayfair Strikes Problems With Regulator CONTINUED FROM PG1 DOMINIC MOBBS THE Mayfair Group’s $1.6bln ‘Project Paradise’ plans to transform Mission Beach and Dunk Island into “the tourism mecca of Australia” took another turn for the worse on Friday 3 April 2020 with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) taking action against it in the Federal Court for alleged misleading or deceptive advertising.

ASIC alleges that Mayfair Platinum and Mayfair 101 made statements about their M+ and M Core Fixed Income Funds that were false, misleading or deceptive, claiming that “Mayfair products were marketed to inexperienced investors” by representing that:•Mayfair debenture products are comparable to bank terms deposits, and have a similar risk profile to bank term deposits, when they are debentures with a significantly higher risk profile; •the principal investment will be repaid in

full on maturity, when investors may not receive capital repayments on maturity or at all, and because Mayfair could elect to extend the time for repayment for an indefinite period; •Mayfair debenture products were specifically designed for people seeking “certainty and confidence in their investments”, when investors may not receive interest and/or capital repayments, and could lose some, or all, of their investment; and •Mayfair debenture products provide capital growth opportunities, when they do not.

ASIC is seeking injunctions to restrain the publication of statements of this kind, plus penalties.

ASIC is also concerned that Mayfair’s sponsored link internet advertising conducted via the Google AdWords program and Bing Ads program included the use of: (a) meta-title tags such as “term deposit rates – best term deposit options”; (b) domain names such as “term deposit guide”; and (c) ‘adwords’ for sponsored searches including “bank deposits” and “term deposits”.

CCIN has previously reported that lack of cash has forced Mayfair to suspend settlements on numerous of its purchases of Mission Beach property. CCIN also understands that Mayfair’s work on upgrading the Dunk Island Spit is also on hold.

On 11 March 2020, Mayfair Platinum also suspended payment of capital redemptions to investors in its debenture products due to liquidity issues. The ASIC Statement reports that as at 1 April 1 2020 12 investors in Mayfair’s M+ Fixed Income Notes have been unable “to redeem their investments at the maturity date totalling $4.4m.”

ditional perspectives on the Mayfair funds as at 1 April 2020.

For the Mayfair Fund entitled…M+ Fixed Income Notes:185 investors have invested a total amount of $72.9m. 63 investors have reinvested their funds at the end of the investment term representing $13.9m, while 16 investors have redeemed their investments totalling

$3.9m. As referred above 12 investors have not yet been able to recover their investments.

For the Mayfair M Core Fixed Income Notes Fund:96 investors have invested $67.5m with no investors having reinvested their funds at the end of the investment term. 6 investors have redeemed their investment (representing $1.6m) and no in-

vestors have not been able to redeem their investments at the maturity date.

In a statement issued by the Mayfair 101 Group in response to the ASIC action, it “maintains its financial products are fully compliant with all relevant legislation and will vigorously contest proceedings by ASIC against its advertising”, and, “The Mayfair 101 Group confirms that no investor in

any of Mayfair Platinum’s products has had a capital loss and all interest distributions have been paid in full.”

While Mayfair may allege that investors have made no capital loss the fact that some investors apparently cannot currently actually access their funds will not be making these investors feel particularly comfortable.

In light of this, ASIC is also seeking an interim injunction to restrain the defendants from promoting and issuing the Mayfair debenture products while redemptions to existing investors remain suspended. Mayfair was still taking out full-page advertisements stating, “Is your money earning less than 3%pa?” over a week after freezing existing investor refunds. ASIC’s application for an injunction will be heard by the Federal Court on 14 April 2020.

The ASIC statement also provides some ad-

votes will all be here by Thursday, hopefully.”

THE Local Government elections were held on 28 March 2020 but nearly 2 weeks on and no positions for mayor or councillor, for the Cassowary Coast Regional Council, have yet been declared by the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ).

Given that preferences will also need to be distributed, Thursday will be very busy for ECQ if results are to be posted before Good Friday and the Easter break. Officials could likely be working over the Easter holiday period.

No results by booth are yet available either, when in previous elections these could be viewed on election night.

The ECQ Cassowary Coast Returning Officer informed candidates on Tuesday 7 April that, “Due to the need to increase postal voting services to accommodate COVID19 precautions, a number of postal votes for all Local Governments were returned to ECQ in Brisbane. These now need to be delivered to my office and submitted to the count. I do not know the exact number of these postal votes, I am estimating approximately 250 across all divisions. Some of our elections, particularly Mayor, are too close to declare without these last postal votes. These

Readers can see the latest state of play at https:// prodresults.elections.qld. gov.au/lga2020 Currently the mayoral race based on counting up to noon Wednesday 8 April is very close with Mark Nolan receiving 5583 first preference votes, leading Bryce Macdonald by just 254 votes. Previous Mayor Kremastos is trailing with 3718 votes so is unlikely to catch Macdonald and enter the preference allocation exercise.

Based on previous elections only about 25% of voters actually indicate a preference when they are optional, so if this applies to this election then Macdonald will need over 65% of Kremastos’ preferences to overhaul Nolan. This will be a

difficult, but not impossible, task and explains the ECQ caution in moving forward prior to all postal votes being received.

In Division 6 Kylie Farinelli is ahead of Harry

CCIN

should hopefully be able to report fully on the election result and how preferences turned out.

Either way it appears the Cassowary Coast will have a new mayor.

CCIN was unable to contact Nolan for a comment prior to publication but Macdonald told CCIN that he “was looking forward to an outcome soon and had not given up hope”.

As for outcomes in the councillor competition, it appears that Barry Barnes in Division 1, Trudy Tschui in Division 3 and Jeff Baines in Division 5 were all leading reasonably comfortably before preference allocations and should be successful candidates.

In Division 2 Teresa Millwood with 911 votes currently leads Peter Reed by just 98. This should be just sufficient to get her over the line, even if Ross Sorbello’s preferences substantially favour Reed.

Sorbello who had a preference swap arrangement with Reed had 560 votes.

Nicholas Pervan holds a slim 28 vote lead over

Perspective – try to see this time as unique and different, not necessarily bad.

Connection – think of creative ways to stay connected with others, including social media, email and phone.

Be generous to others – giving to others in times of need not only helps the recipient, it enhances your wellbeing too. Is there a way to help others around you?

This week I would like to share some strategies put forward by Lifeline on how to support emotional wellbeing through this difficult time.

Manage your exposure to media coverage as this can increase feelings of fear and anxiety. Ensure you are accessing good quality and accurate information.

Follow a “calm yet cautious” approach – do your best to remain calm. Ensure you are following directives issued by the government, medical advice and observe good hygiene habits.

Show compassion and kindness to one another – these times of fear, isolation (both physical and social) and uncertainty are when it is most important that we strengthen our sense of community by connecting with and supporting each other.

Remind ourselves that we can manage this much better together in solidarity, and that COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate – it can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, nationality or ethnicity.

Actively manage your wellbeing by maintaining routines where possible, connect with family and friends (even if not in person), staying physically active, eating nutritious foods and seeking additional support as required.

Strategies to cope with social distancing, self-isolation or quarantine Going into a period of social distancing, self-isolation or quarantine may feel daunting, overwhelming and scary. In addition to the above, try the following;

Stay connected with your values. Don’t let fear or anxiety drive your interactions with others. We are all in this together!

Daily routine – create a routine that prioritises things you enjoy and even things you have been meaning to do but haven’t had enough time. Read that book, watch that show, take up that new hobby.

Limit your exposure to news and media. Perhaps choose specific times of day when you will get updates, and ensure they are from reputable and reliable sources.

For those of us with children this time is especially difficult. Queensland Health has some great information for parents during this time www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/ covid-19-family-information/ The TSC has reduced our opening hours to Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 4pm and Tuesday 9am to 1pm. However, the TSC is still here to help, and we are transitioning to more telephone-based delivery to provide better accessible support to families. Please call us on 40 681 004 to speak to a support worker.

the history of how clubs are initially formed.

CLOSE to 80 Innisfail Probus members recently celebrated their 35th birthday with a luncheon held in Russ Hinze building, Innisfail Showgrounds which featured a Valentine theme.

Members also tested their grey matter with a word game where they had to find as many four letter words from the word Valentine in a 10 minute period.

Peters informed members this was her final duty as Liaison Officer as herself and husband Graham were going to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle.

Innisfail President Col Ritchie welcomed Probus members from Innisfail, as well as special guests Probus Regional Liaison Officer Faye Peters and Innisfail-Fitzgerald Rotary Club President Sam Pagano.

Member Richard Rees gave an informative talk on the club's history over the past 35 years including details of the formation on February 28, 1985 with men only, before the ladies were welcomed in 1996 to form a combined Probus club.

All these activities kept members smiling while a great selection of background music was provided by Eddie Dimech.

Several highlights of the day included the presentation of two 35th anniversary congratulatory certificates and the cutting of the special birthday cake.

Del Pennefather was the first lady president in 1998 and a framed photograph of foundation members brought back fond memories for many members.

Firstly, Regional Liaison Officer Peters presented President Ritchie with a certificate and letter from Probus Association of Queensland, followed by the presentation by Innisfail-Fitzgerald Rotary President Sam Pagano of a 35th anniversary certificate from Probus South Pacific to Ritchie and Secretary Marianne Pearce.

MC Lew Phillips kept proceedings moving along which included lucky door prizes, raffle, sing-along and Valentine

Council To Give Cardwell Beach & Boat Ramp A Face Lift • Council receives DRFA funding to rehabilitate sand erosion on Cardwell foreshore due to 2019 storm activity • Simultaneous Cardwell boat ramp repairs on behalf of QLD Dept.

community With new measures in place to adjust workplace practice according to COVID-19 recommendations from Prime Minister and Queensland Health, the Cassowary Coast Regional Council is pleased to be able to continue delivery works throughout the community.

Cardwell Beach and

boat ramp will receive a much deserved face lift with Council to begin a sand nourishment and ramp repair program worth $132,000.

The program (starting today) will replace 4,000m3 of sand which was eroded from the Cardwell shoreline in 2019 due to storm activity, with $102,000 received

from the jointly funded Queensland and Australian Government’s Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DFRA).

Sand nourishment programs are designed to protect road and other public assets by providing a buffer to erosion and protect water, sewerage and stormwater infrastructure, additional to

walking tracks and vegetation on the foreshore.

Main Roads to repair the Cardwell boat ramp.

Sand will be mainly sourced from the Catcher Groyne located at the Northern end of Marine Parade to be spread from Scott to Sheridan Streets.

Through the establishment of its Pandemic Committee, Cassowary Coast Regional Council assures residents that business continuity plans have been developed to ensure critical services such as water, rubbish and sewerage will continue throughout the COV-

Simultaneous works worth $30,000 will also take place by Council on behalf of Queensland Department of Transport and

Furthermore, public delivery works such as the Cardwell beach and boat ramp face lift will continue where possible under new workplace health and safety guidelines to retain employment of its workforce and ensure public areas do not fall into disrepair.

Bob Katter: There has never been a better time to discover Unlock the Clean the magic of books and the joy of reading Energy Finance Corporation and build Australia out of this coronavirus recession THERE’S literally thousands of books at your fingertips, a plethora of amazing authors to delve into and spend hours each week escaping reality and exploring some of the world’s best stories.

KENNEDY MP, Bob Katter says Australia can recover from the economic downturn caused

by COVID-19 by initiating a major public works program for the regions, funded by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) with expanded investment parameters to include all types of infrastructure and industry.

“There will be a depression cycle over the next two or three months; the Federal Government has realised this and is acting - but it is only offering a short term solution,” Mr Katter said.

“We must go into public works and we must fund ‘make money projects’ rather than ‘absorb money projects’.”

“The Clean Energy Finance Corporation is a banking authority that has already showed extraordinary success even though it’s confined to environmental developments.

“The CEFC’s investment parameters must be expanded by Scott Morrison with the flick of a pen and its capital could be increased to $50b allowing it to invest in up to $500b worth of nation building projects.”

Mr Katter said regions, such as north Queensland with low numbers of coronavirus and low commu-

nity transmission were optimal for the program.

“Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne are contagion areas and therefore bringing workers together on public works programs is problematic and inhibited,” he said.

Council Libraries.

All it takes is a Cassowary Coast Library membership, a computer connection and a few minutes to browse and explore the thousands of titles available for download to read.

To meet the rising demand of online resources following recent closures of library buildings to the public, each Council has contributed funds toward an additional 15 titles to be available on BorrowBox which can be simultaneously downloaded by up to 500 users for a period of 90 days with no waiting time for adult, teen and children’s titles.

This expanded eLibrary resource is a shared initiative between Cassowary Coast, Tablelands, Mareeba and Burdekin

Existing titles which have multiple reservations have also been increased to reduce the wait time for loans.

Home to the greatest Australian and international authors, BorrowBox makes it easy to browse, borrow and read or listen to e-books and e-audiobooks from any location and across a huge range of new and popular fiction, non-fiction, children and teen titles.

If reading is not your thing, Cassowary Coast’s eLibrary can access magazine and film platforms including National Geographic, RB Digital Magazines and Kanopy with versions tailored for both kids and adults.

With the extra time on your hands as we self-isolate, perhaps a bit of family heritage research in on the menu now, as we delve into our past to research the family tree.

The State Library of Queensland has now also granted external access to the library edition of Ancestry.com which was previously only available within library buildings.

Access to this feature is granted directly through the State Library’s site (https://www.slq.qld.gov. au/), with e-membership sign up required in ad-

vance.

Physical book borrowing ceased following the closure of library buildings, and due to concerns of health and safety will not be re-established until restrictions of COVID-19 are lifted. In lieu of this, current Cassowary Coast Library book loans have been extended to 1st May 2020.

Residents seeking to access the eLibrary who aren’t already a member can sign up from home at www.cassowarycoast.qld. gov.au/membership.

“Surely now is the time to open up the massive resources of north Queensland. Quarantine us and then mobilise your public works.

“North Queensland has shovel-ready projects.

Copperstring 2.0 will open up the mines in north-west Queensland with cheap and reliable electricity.

“The rail line into the Galilee Basin coalfields will allow for production of over $20b a year.

“The Hells Gate Dam with its zero emission bio-technologies will be worth $3.5b a year to Australia’s economy.

The Member for Kennedy is also calling for a tailored solution for small businesses in response to the coronavirus caused recession.

“The Prime Minister must insist the banks support small business. If they 100% guarantee immediate loans then these businesses run by ordinary Mum and Dad Australians will survive in the short term.”

Work Continues Regardless

Well with the current Covid 19 pandemic social isolation protocols in place, the way we do business is changing but the work is continuing regardless.

Along with the rest of the sugar industry TSL is taking very seriously the self-isolation and safety procedures around this

health pandemic and this includes the way we do field work and communicate with growers.

At the moment field measurements for fallow legume crops is still happening. Soon growers will be spraying out fallow crops in preparation for planting.

The fallow crop meas-

uring is a fairly simple process which can give growers an estimation of potential Nitrogen from a fallow legume crop that may be a benefit to the new plant crop.

the ingenious work of the TSL farm manager who developed an attachment to hang the scales from.

This makes the sampling a single person operation with results emailed.

To make it a single person operation so that growers do not have to be present, scales have been fitted to the Ute thanks to

Another field operation that has just started in the last week is the pre - harvest Mobile mill sampling.

This work has started earlier than normal because we want to offer a new service for those growers who plan to use the crop ripener�Moddus�. Moddus is a ripener that works over a 6-10 week period to increase the CCS levels in the cane.

We are also starting the general pre -harvest sampling for crops earlier than normal. This process usually starts in early May but this year we will start after Easter to maximize the information growers have about which paddock to harvest first in the season.

The idea is we sample the paddocks where Moddus is planned to be used, to give growers assurance they are the best ones to use ripener on for the best possible result.

To conform to Covid 19 protocols we ask that any blocks growers want to test through the mobile mill, they take 6 stalk samples and deliver them to a designated collection

points clearly labelled with variety, farm and block number. Once the samples are processed, the results can be emailed.

The exact locations of these designated collection points will be advised next week.

Different times, with slightly different procedures reflecting the current situation we find ourselves in but our enthusiasm to get the job done has not changed.

MEMBER for Hill Shane Knuth said that yesterday’s [March 31st 2020] announcement by the Minister for Agriculture was all huff and puff as primary producers are still refused access to ammunition to control feral animals.

Mr Knuth said there was a huge gap in the cur-

the many recently unemployed North Queenslanders who have put their shoulder to the wheel and taken up work in the packing sheds.

“I thank everyone for their support for this

“A lot of people who’ve been out of work have applied for jobs on our farms. We thank them for making themselves available to work in the packing sheds; ensuring Australia’s food security during this pandemic.

Seafarms Group rewarded for its biosecurity efforts

SEAFARMS Group has been recognised for its focus on biosecurity after being named the Farm Biosecurity Producer of the Year at the 2020 Australian Biosecurity Awards held at Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARES) Outlook Conference in Canberra last month.

Seafarms’ Cardwell farms are Australia’s oldest operating prawn farms and the company has made major investments to retrofit infrastructure to enhance biosecurity.

James Cook Univer-

sity nominated Seafarms for the award for being an industry leader in all aspects of biosecurity and for implementing protocols beyond those required to meet government regulations, which benefit the entire prawn farming industry.

Over the past five years Seafarms has invested in training, improvements and developing controls and infrastructure to improve biosecurity at its sites based in Cardwell, Ingham and Flying Fish Point in North Queensland and Exmouth in Western Australia.

Seafarms’ focus on improving biosecurity

includes: developing an on-site microbiological laboratory to increase turnaround time on pathogen surveillance; collaborating with James Cook University, CSIRO and University of Sydney to target selective breeding for disease resistance and identifying novel approaches to managing prawn health, as well as optimising production methods to limit exposure and improve grow out timings.

Seafarms Chief Operating Officer Dallas Donovan said Seafarms was thrilled to be recognised for its focus on biosecurity.

"Biosecurity is vital to

the success of Seafarms’ operations and it requires continued focus and improvement - it is a process that never stops.

Seafarms is pleased to be recognised for the work it has done so far and we will continue to focus on biosecurity as a top priority.”

"Seafarms’ Queensland operations is a pilot to develop and test the best practices for Project Sea Dragon – a billion-dollar project to build a 10,000 hectare prawn aquaculture farm in the Northern Territory.

We are taking lessons learned from our Queensland operations to the Top

End, and from the start of Project Sea Dragon we have incorporated modern approaches to biosecurity in the design of all stages and facilities.

To reduce pressure on wild broodstock, our world class breeding program has developed Seafarms’ first generation of specific pathogen free (SPF) prawns for Project Sea Dragon - another key biosecurity measure," said Donovan.

Seafarms Group Limited is a sustainable aquaculture company, producing the premium Crystal Bay® Prawns and developing the Project Sea Dragon prawn aquaculture

project in northern Australia.

Seafarms Group uses environmentally sustainable culture processes and is currently Australia's largest producer of farmed prawns, its Crystal Bay® Prawns and Crystal Bay® Tigers are available year round in fresh and frozen formats. More information can be found by visiting: www.crystalbayprawns. com.au.

Seafarms Group is investing in sustainable aquaculture for export through Project Sea Dragon, a large-scale, vertically integrated, land-based, prawn aquaculture project being developed in north-

ern Australia.

There is a hatchery at Flying Fish Point, while grow out facilities including 148 ponds covering 160 hectares across three farms in Cardwell and Ingham with a processing plant, maintenance division, farm administration, technical services and laboratory in Cardwell.

The stand-alone marine prawn production system will be capable of annually producing over 150,000 tonnes of prawns and the high-quality, yearround volumes will target export markets. To learn more please visit: www. seafarms.com.au

Mena Creek State School to celebrate 100 years of education in 2020 MARIA GIRGENTI

jor improvement agenda.

MENA Creek State School finished the first term of year strongly with 35 students having settled in well to routines and showing they are eager to learn.

A new technology suite of Lego Mine Storm, a programmable brick that allows students to code, program and built various robot systems through design and digital technology which students are enjoying and displaying enthusiasm in learning.

Principal Cameron Wedgwood said reading will be a core focus in 2020 with staff members Jennifer Abbott and Sarah Taifalos having travelled to Brisbane to participate in professional development on reading and this information will be used to inform the school's ma-

Education is first and foremost at Mena Creek which is tailored to ensure each students' individual learning needs are met.

Principals from schools in the Canecutter Cluster are involved in intentional collabora-

tion and are working together to make a positive difference in the lives of students and ensure they have every opportunity to succeed in the future.

The working relationship between the cluster schools and Innisfail State College is exemplary as it is a great group of like-minded professionals who are working for the students.

This year the school will celebrate its centenary on September 11 - 12 and while student academic growth is at the forefront, the centenary milestone will be weaved

into the curriculum in subjects such as English and History, reading material, as well as budgeting.

Social media platforms such as Facebook have been fantastic in helping the centenary committee track down past students of Mena Creek State School for the centenary and, who have also been working hard on compiling the centenary book.

On March 13, the official birthday of Mena Creek State School was celebrated with the wider school community, which included the cutting of a special cake and unearth-

ing of the time capsule buried at the school's 75th anniversary in 1995.

Any former pupils, staff, parents and extended family members are invited to be part of the centenary celebrations with over 200 expected to attend a semi-formal meet and greet evening at Mena Creek Hotel on Friday, September 11, followed the next day with a morning of formal celebrations at the school with activities, live music and entertainment for families.

Anyone with an association with the school who has photos, memo-

rabilia, stories and information etc are encouraged to contact the school as they will be displayed at the centenary celebrations and a commemorative book will also be released.

Name and years of attendance

The Mena Creek State School centenary book committee are also looking for short stories on past students who have carved successful careers in a range of different fields.

What games did you play?

They are also looking for memories from across the years on things such as:

What was in your lunch box?

How did you get to school?

Your favourite memory?

All past students/families/staff who wish to submit stories/content for the Centenary book please contact Sandy Williams via email: sandymaywill@hotmail.com.

WE have all seen the social media memes, Day 1 of isolation, trim, taunt, well groomed, Day 10 of Isolation, bulging gut, flabby butt and in need of a shave – legs and arm pits.

But it does not need to be like that. Treat the COVID-19 event as an opportunity to spend some real time working from home, on yourself.

Your home is a simple work-out gymnasium, everything you need to loosen up and also tighten up. No fancy machines needed, just a chair, beach towel, bottle of water and some music, and you have your own fitness gym.

The following set of exercises are designed to slowly stretch the major muscle groups as well as strengthen your core muscles. Core strength refers to the muscles that surround your middle, the abs, obliques and spinal muscle groups. These muscles all help to hold your posture strong as well as assisting the neighbouring muscles to work more effectively.

The most basic of all core exercises is the Plank, or as some call it, Front Support position.

Planks strengthen the entire body, from your chest, upper back to lower body and legs.

Gymnasts and dancers strengthen their core muscles every day, this strengthening prevents and protect them from injury as well as enabling them to perform the seriously death-defying skills you see in their routines.

What equipment is needed for a plank, nothing really, except what you see around you in your lounge room, plus a bit of music to gee you up and allow you to divert your focus from the exercise to the euphoric rush that music produces.

The Basic Plank. - Commence in pushup position, with hands shoulder width

Time to loosen up Stretching needs to be approached gently.

It’s no good rushing into stretching and feeling sore as the next morning and not being able to participate in your home workout due to soreness and stiffness.

The key to the following exercises is to gently perform them, loosening up the major joints and muscle groups, building the platform to then consider a more challenging exercise and stretching regime.

Be sure to start loosening up when your body is warm, and the blood is flowing freely. You can do this by firstly walking briskly around the outside of your house, try to walk for at least 5 minutes to ensure the muscle groups have warmed-up.

Nine simple stretching exercises you can do to loosen the major muscle group.

Side Stretch – starting with feet shoulder width apart and the weight distributed evenly over your base. Reach up with your right arm and slowly bend sideways to your left. The weight will start to transfer more to your left foot nor and slowly stretch over to your left.

Keep reaching with your right arm so you feel the stretch down your right side. Move slowly and hold the stretch for 20 seconds.

Lower Back Stretch – lying on your stomach, hands shoulder width apart and under your shoulders and upper chest, Push up now leaving your hips on the floor, looking up towards the ceiling and slowly hold that position for 20 seconds.

Next is the Hamstring Stretch. This is an easy stretch you can do anywhere, try it whilst you’re watching TV. Start by lengthening one leg and tucking the other leg in. Gently tipping forward from hips, reaching towards your toes you should feel this stretch up through the back of your straight leg.

Do both sides!

Number 4 is the Groin Stretch. This is a basic stretch you can do in bed, on the couch or on the floor watching tv tonight.

Start by bringing the bottoms of your feet together, letting knees fall out gently to the sides, pushing down on the knees with your elbows or gently fluttering the knees, you should feel this stretch through the groin & inner side of your leg. Do not bounce in this stretch.

We move to the Hip Flexor Stretch. Start by kneeling on the ground, stepping one foot forward gently lift one or both arms and push hips forwards, you should feel this stretch through the front of your hip and top of your quads. Do both sides.

Moving to the forearms. Start by lengthening your arm out in front of you, next pulling fingers down or up with your other hand, you should feel this stretch gently through the lower part of your arm. Repeat for the opposite forearm.

Time to loosen out your shoulders after working at your computer for a length of time.

Start by taking your right arm across the body, then hook your left arm underneath, pulling the

apart, fingers facing forward, and hands directly under shoulders.

Push down on the ground to create a hollow chest, but keep your neck long and eyes looking straight down at the ground.

Squeeze butt and suck tummy in, whilst pressing legs tight together, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times. Note: your butt should not be sticking up, a straight line should be from head to toes.

There are many varieties you can do with the plank.

Elevated Plank (upper body), This is where you hold your plank position whilst leaning on an object for support. This could be a kitchen bench, or as your strength develops a low chair. This form of plank is easier to perform and should then be held for a longer period of time.

Elevated Plank (lower body) For this version of the plank the feet are elevated on a raised surface, such as the couch, This variety of plank will increase the pressure of the upper body and be harder to hold.

Low Plank. This variety is same as the normal plank except you are resting on

arm further across the body. You should feel this stretch through the back of your shoulder.

Try and hold this for 30 seconds.

This is a basic stretch you can do to stretch out thought your triceps.

Start placing your right hand in the middle of your back, keeping the elbow high, then gently with your left hand pushing down on your right elbow to feel the stretch through the tricep muscles. How good does that feel.

The final stretch is your upper back. You can do this whenever you are feeling tight through the upper back and shoulder blades.

Start by clasping hands together, lengthening arms out in front of you, pulling shoulder blades apart, you should feel this stretch across upper back and shoulder blades.

So there we have a few simple stretching exercised designed to loosen up and relax.

Hope you are enjoying your self-isolation and the time away from the outside world is of benefit to you physically.

elbows, still with a strong hollow chest and rounded back.

It’s important to strengthen the entire middle section and the Side Plank will assist in building the strength of the obliques.

This exercise can be done either one elbow

or resting on on arm. Care should be taken to ensuring the body does not sag in the middle, a strong body shape should be maintained whilst pushing down strongly on the support arm.

The Rear Pank, is the reverse of the Basic Plank.

The Rear Plank can be done with feet on the floor as shown or with feet elevated on a small raised surface, be it a chair or the couch.

With core strengthing exercises posture is important. The key is to strengthen the muscle groups whilst in correct postural alighment.

Variety is also important, the exercises can be combined and modified to suit and challenge. Start in Low Plank, (on elbows) step up to Basic Plank, hold for 10 seconds and then step back down to Low Plank.

Top 5 Sports Movies of all Time THURSDAY night used to be so simple, 7pm turn on the tellie, sit back, feet up and scream at the television, ‘watch the 10…. He’s been doing it all night…. Come on ref… kick your guide dog… he’s gone to sleep’.

Now we get excited watching Gordon the gecko slowly inching his way up the outside wall as he stalks that complacent moth.

Will Gordon win? Will Monty the moth fly off before Gordon can pounce? Is that moth doomed to be consumed? What are the current odds on Sportsbet? If Monty is up by half time will Sportsbet pay out?

Thursday night has forever changed, and some could say for the better, so long as you do not cheer for the moths.

With the cessation of live sports on television I thought I would be timely to review the Top 5 Sports movies of all time.

Log onto your streaming service, dust out the old dvd’s and lean back, feet up, cold beverage in hand and settle down to scream and cheer just like the first time you watched these classics.

Number 5 – White Men Can’t Jump.

A 1992 American sports comedy starring Woody Harrelson (Cheers) and Wesley Snipes (Coming 2 America).

A streetball comedy where unsuspecting chumps and duped into thinking a bumbling white boy could not possibly play basketball, primarily because of the colour of his skin. A great feel good movie great basketball action, 3 pointers and heaps of hangtime and more air than Jordon.

Number 4 – Karate Kid. Wax on… wax off, he was taught the secret to karate lies in the mind and hearts and not in his hands. Released in 1984 Karate Kid tells the story of a bullied teenager desperately seeking to win the affections of a beautiful girl. Starring Ralph Macchio (My Cousin Vinny), Pat Morita Arnold in Happy Days) and Elisabeth Shue (Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future Part II and III).

A classic, boy meets girl, boy falls in love, boy get in fight, gets the living suitcase beaten out of himself, but comes back with a highly unusual move, ‘the crane’, smashing his opponent into the a quivering mess and wins the affection of the girl forever, and chaired out of the ring by an adoring public, what’s not to like.

Gee sounds like a Rocky Movie.

Number 3 – Chariots of Fire. Winner of 4 Academy Awards from 7 nominations, Chariots of Fire was a memorable movie from 1981. It’s title was inspired by the line “bring me my chariots of fire’, from the William Blake poem And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time.

Chariots of Fire tells the story of two great runners from the University of

Cambridge who compete in the 1924 Paris Olympics. In an era before drugs in sport, Chariots of Fire blends willpower and natural talent along with a stirring storyline and a great soundtrack. Still one of my favorite all-time movies.

Number 2 – Ali. Perhaps the greatest sporting bio-pic of all times, definitely about the greatest boxer of all generations, Muhammad Ali. It might have bombed at the box office but Will Smith captured the essence of Ali and transferred it to the big screen with class and power.

Ali will always be remembered as the greatest boxer with a sharp wit and unflinching belief in himself as well as the social issues that surrounded America during that era.

I can remember the opening ceremony of Atlanta Olympic 1996, with Ali lighting the Olympic Flame, seeing a proud and strong man, 36 years after winning gold in Rome. This biopic could never do justice to the career of this fighter, nor could it adequately underline the generations who grew up seeing and believing in a man who symbolised equality for all men in the ring, but Will Smith breathed life into Ali and left a lasting indelible legacy to this once great man.

Now, stop the alarm clock, crack the raw egg heart-starter, dust out the old grey sweat suit and cue the music from Bill Conti – Gonna Fly Now, it’s time for Number 1 Rocky, and all seven sequels.

Now the plot is a bit twee, with the same depth as the vocabulary of its star Sylvester Stallone, but this movie has some of the greatest action fight scenes of all times.

Slow motion, closeups of pain and flying sweat and a storyline that is guaranteed to draw you in tighter and closer than a clinch with the ear-bitter ‘Iron Mike’.

Rocky follows the fortunes of a poorly educated, well-meaning Italian-American boxer Rocky Balboa as he is offered a shot at the top by Apollo Creed. Surrounded by his community his girlfriend Adrian, Trainer Mickey and friend Paulie, Rocky launches, lurches, falls, rises, falls again and again and eventually wins the fight on a split decision.

This judge’s decision is clearly Rocky is a knockout, a true heart thumping soul stirring winner, guaranteed to have you out of your chair, doing star jumps in the lounge and one armed push-ups by the tens, or maybe less in this case.

Well that’s the Top 5 Sports movies; next week maybe we should consider the Top 5 Bathurst Races and moments.

Until then, ease back into that lounge, feet up and drift into blissful sleep dreaming of past sporting glories and eagerly awaiting the return of the NRL.

Local riders perform well at Western Dressage Show in Malanda

Local rider Hanna Corica and Haverbecks Luna finished as (Youth) Introductory Level Champions, as well as Sanctioned and Non-Sanctioned Youth Champions at the Western Dressage Show in Malanda

Judge Vivian Wearing with some of the ribbon winners from the Western Dressage Show held in Malanda MARIA GIRGENTI THE North Queensland Quarter Horse Association recently held their Western Dressage Show #3 Series Three at Malanda Indoor Arena. The day before the show, a one-day Western Dressage clinic was held with Maryborough judge and clinician Vivian Wearing, to assist competitors of all ages and skill levels to prepare for the show.

The majority of clinic participants were competitors in the show and most notable were Hanna Corica (Youth) and Paula Byrne who finished as champions at their respective levels, as well as newcomer to the sport Rita Carey who was named Reserve Champion in her level at her very first try at Western Dressage.

All those in the association greatly appreciate all the efforts of their committee members for executing such a smoothly run event as it certainly wouldn’t have been so successful without everyone pitching in to help throughout the weekend, including club members and spectators.

A special thanks to the pencillers, scorers, callers and everyone who helped make the weekend run smoothly. An extra special thanks went to Vivian Wearing for flying to Far North Queensland to teach riders and to judge the show, as everyone certainly appreciated her wisdom and insight, along with her ability to sit through and judge all 47 tests.

For riders to be eligible for the club's end of season Western Dressage Series

awards they must attend a minimum of two out of the four shows.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, there is no show scheduled for April with the next event tentatively booked for Sunday, June 14.
