An Interview With John X: Suicide Is Not Painless SEAN DENT

JOHN X is a fairly successful person living among us in plain sight. People who know him or work with him never have any concerns about him or worry that anything is wrong. In fact, he comes across as jovial and pleasant most of the time. Several years ago, a series of incidents impacted his life and he got diagnosed as depressed. When the doctor delved a little deeper, she found that John’s depression was not an isolated incident caused by a few recent traumas. “She said they just reduced my ability to cover up my depression and that it had been there probably my whole life.” John asked to remain anonymous for this story because, he said, “It’s not about me.” He wanted to get the message out to others who deal with depression, but don’t know how to talk about it or they don’t want to talk about it. However, he doesn’t deny that he dislikes the stigma of ‘depressed person’ being something people would put on him if they knew. CONTINUED PG3

The council election is on its way.

Mail: PO Box 1100 TULLY QLD 4854

IT is difficult to make the best choice regarding who to elect as we all have busy lives. In western society we are all educated, and we then take a career which becomes our focus. We expect that our local governments are educated people making the best choices with the money that the community pays them. Sadly, this hasn’t been the case for multiple electorates throughout Australia. The biggest question that communities have is,“how do I know that they are doing the wrong thing with our money?” This is a difficult question to answer as the community isn’t present in the meetings where the decisions are made regarding what will be done with their money.

Councils have a media team that produce media releases to inform the public. In a media release the council decides who can speak on the topic and what they can say. As a business owner I expect to be provided with all the information regarding my business so that I can make an informed decision on the best way to move forward and ensure that my business can stay economically viable. I feel the same transparency needs to come from council, as the decisions being made are for the electorate. The electorates managed by the local council make decisions that affects everyone’s business. If the decisions being made are bad for the electorate than the electorate needs to ensure that the decisions improve. This may mean changing their representative. We cannot all be there to decide on the day in day out decisions that the council makes, but what we can do in a democratic society is elect a representative that shares our values so we can ensure we have a voice. When there is a sense that a community’s money is not being managed as well as it should, then it is time to ensure that you do your own research to ensure that the representative that is elected is a member of your community that shares your own values. Yes, it is difficult to do more research when you are already working hard. It is also difficult when you feel that a person is your friend, but they just are not or will not be a good council representative for your region. It is tough in a small community where everyone knows everyone and you don’t want to be known as a ‘difficult person,’ but it is your region, and you deserve to see your money well spent. You decide!

CONTINUED FROM PG1 “In our Aussie culture, and it’s the same for men or women, depression is seen as whinging or being weak. People will wave it away with a, ‘cheer up, things could be worse’ or sometimes a roll of the eyes as if to say, here he goes again. They try to shame you into being happy.” John particularly felt it over the holidays, as he does every year. “It’s such a happy time and any other feeling comes across as bringing everyone down, being selfish. I’ve learned to put on a mask. It’s like that movie where the kid says no one ever gets told off for drawing pictures of rainbows.” John said that he doesn’t see a doctor these days, doesn’t take medication, and doesn’t talk about it. “I’ve learned to deal with it myself. Work helps. Not just my job, but doing stuff around the house or doing something for neighbours. I also came to understand that sometimes I just need to be alone and let myself feel depressed. You can’t fight it all the time.” He said the question that almost makes him laugh is when doctors or counsellors ask him if he ever thought about hurting himself. “I always thought everyone thought about that. It doesn’t mean you do it, but I just thought it was natural to think about it.” He hasn’t ever attempted suicide even if he’s

thought about it. “I used to try to think of ways to do it, not that day or anything, but like I’d think if things got worse, I might do it and so I needed a plan. But I could never figure out a good way to do it. For one thing, I knew it would hurt people who know me. Suicide isn’t painless. And I always thought if I was going to kill myself, I wanted to do it in a way that no one would have to clean up after me, but I couldn’t come up with an idea. So, I never seriously considered actually doing it, no.” Part of why John doesn’t tell anyone is he doesn’t want them to treat him any differently. “I’m coping, I’ll be okay. It’s like some people lose a leg or a finger, but they figure things out. I have depression and it’s my job to cope with it.” Another reason John agreed to tell his story was he wants everyone to know that people like him exist, “And you may know some of them even if you can’t see any signs of depression. Everyone thinks I’m happy. I’d bet my house that no one knows I have depression. So, people shouldn’t assume their friends are okay. Like I said, I’m fine, but people should reach out to their family and friends they haven’t seen in a while and ask how they’re doing, invite them round for a barbecue or a beer for no reason at all. It can make a difference. And even if they don’t have depression, what’s the worst that can happen?”

Licuala WINQ:What is happening in 2020? SARI HYYTINEN LICUALA WINQ writers group met last Saturday to discuss the changes set to come in 2020. The group is set to launch its website, which will host work of members of the group. A founding member of the group, Barbara Bufi, will have her work collated into a collection that will be published later in the year. The group will be hosting a workshop with Monique MacDonald, who is a nationally and internationally acclaimed writer.

member who is creating the website and organising the competition, what writing he had felt he most enjoyed creating he said, “I recently wrote a poem for one of the big businesses that I work for. I email out a poem every Christmas. Basically, just to put a smile on the faces of people in the group for Christmas, and that poem was shared by the national manager of the company and emailed out to all employees. I have had quite a lot of feedback from employees across the company just saying that they

really enjoyed the poem, and it did exactly what I had planned, which was to make them smile for Christmas.” Younger people who feel that they have a flair for writing can join Licuala WINQ and find people who can assist them to develop their skills. More details of the launch date of the website, the details of the workshops and the competition will be provided once they are finalised.

Katter, Knuth: Latest TR4 Outbreak Means It’s Time for the Boxing Gloves to Come out SEAN DENT

Bob Katter walking through banana plantation

BOB Katter and Shane Knuth are on the warpath following the news of the latest Panama TR4 outbreak, not content to merely sympathise with the affected farmers nor to talk about how the community will pull together. Katter, the Federal Member for Kennedy who recently handed over the reins to the party to his son, Robbie, is uniting with Knuth, State Member for Hill, in a campaign to pursue both State and Federal Governments for immediate funding to support the farmers fight against the exploding feral pig population in North Queensland. Knuth is calling on everyone to support this cause, which contributes massively to the area and to the nation. Recently, Knuth managed to get funding for the dangerous Feluga intersection, which has caused count-

less scares to drivers in that area, and also deaths and injuries. Rather than celebrating getting the funding, Knuth decried the fact that he’d been looking for this funding since 2014 and doesn’t want the same delay with feral pig funding. “Politicians don’t always jump to it right away, and you many times have to get out the boxing gloves,” said Knuth. He us asking that we start sending letters and e-mails to the minister in question, and copying Knuth himself: exercising what he called the people’s power. “It worked in the end with the Feluga intersection and with the Grandstand. That helped get us over the line.” Few will be surprised to hear that Katter is outraged about the situation. You get the feeling is he’s up for a few more fights before he rides off into the sunset of his long career, and this community

MISSION BEACH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION AGM

The Annual General Meeting of the Mission Beach Community Association was held at the Mission Beach Resort on Tuesday evening, 11 February 2020. The meeting was addressed by Mayor Kremastos, Deputy Mayor Kimberley, State member Shane Knuth, the new Mission Beach Police Station Sergeant Rob Smith, the new Tropical Coast Tourism CEO, Patrick Bluett, and Jamie Dalton, the owner of the Mission Beach Pharmacy.

and this issue is close to his heart, if for no other reason that it provides so much economically. “This is an industry worth $600 million to the Australian economy. Without serious State and Federal Government input, this outbreak will get worse. “There are 25 million pigs running around North Queensland and quite soon that number will explode to 30 million! The pollution that is seen to flow onto the Barrier Reef it is almost certainly because of the pigs coming down out of the national parks and yet there is absolutely no program to restrain their growth let alone reduce their numbers.” In fact, there were many “southern protests” in 2018 following a Facebook post about a feral pig hunt by North Queensland farmers. Protesters called for political pressure to end the practise. Knuth did not back

shooting on a weekend, will be able to make a few quid out of it and have a bit of fun at the same time.” Katter also said that Australia’s biosecurity was failing at the borders allowing foreign diseases in and that in the case of the black sigatoka outbreak, the industry had moved swiftly to quarantine the relevant area and eradicate the disease, which it had been said could not be eradicated. “I’ll be seeking discussions with the industry leaders on the case of eradication in the coming weeks. The Australian Banana Growers Council (ABGC), which has been incredibly proactive and successful in the TR4 eradication program to date, also took a very aggressive position that we should do everything humanly possible to eradicate Black Sigatoka – and we did.” “I've said it once,

twice, I've said it a thousand times! If you import fruit, vegetables or raw produce, you will introduce diseases into our country.” Knuth is calling on State Government to fund the program to cut the number of feral pigs in the area. "Extra funds must be allocated to an aerial feral pig shooting program to reduce the number of feral pigs coming out of state land onto neighbouring properties and spreading TR4." "Bananas are a $600million industry with 94% of production in Far North Queensland. I don't think its to much to ask for additional funding to help reduce the spread of TR4 through an aerial feral pig shooting program." He’s also asking locals to send e-mails to Shane Knuth hill@parliament. qld.gov.au and Minister for Agriculture, Hon Mark Furners agriculture@ministerial.qld.gov.au

down, saying, “I take my hat off to the local pig hunters, who in their own time and at their own expense work to manage the feral pig population. The Productivity Commission determined in 2004 that there would be a cost to the state of $10 billion if there was an outbreak of foot and mouth disease, and these pigs contribute to that disease.” Katter feels it’s not enough to leave it to local farmers though. “It will take a combination of efforts to make a dint in the pig numbers whether it is aerial shooting, ground shooting, pig dogging, fencing or trapping and the aerial funding allocated as part of a wider TR4 surveillance program is due to dry up in June next year. “You can’t trap 25 million pigs but a simple return to heavily controlled gun licensing to allow the young blokes in these country areas to go

The youngest dancer is Beau Privato. Privato turned up at the Hotshots office one day looking for a job as a paper pusher. Hughes took one look at him and said no, that’s no office boy. They had Privato on stage that night. “He was a bit raw.

MARIA GIRGENTI

THIS year's Feast of the Senses was officially launched at Sapore di Italia last Friday evening, where a number of changes were outlined to sponsors and stakeholders by the new volunteer committee who have been working hard to re-vitalise the region's popular annual festival. The festival which runs from March 26 - 29 showcases Cassowary Coast region’s impressive variety of rare and exotic fruits. Events kick off on Thursday evening with a Tropical Cocktail Sunset Cruise on the scenic Johnstone River with Snapping Tours. The first of the popular food trails on Friday allows guests access to properties of some of the region’s best food producers not usually accessible to the public. Friday night's Gala

DAVEY Hughes is 40 years old. He goes by the profession titles emcee, host, and boss of the Sydney Hotshots. He considers himself the dad of the show and he is also an ‘entertainer’. That means he takes off at least some of his clothes. “Why not?” he said. “I still have a good body.” Hughes used to work for Thunder Down Under in Las Vegas. He will be in Tully to do another show at the Tully Tigers Leagues Club on Thursday, 19 March 2020, and if you get a chance to talk with him, you’ll find him down to earth, witty, and friendly. “You can’t take yourself seriously in this industry. We’re meeting people from all walks of life and from every imaginable age group.” He was insistent that this is not a one-size-fitsall business. “You want

the audience to participate because that makes it more fun for everyone, but you have to learn what they find acceptable, and every town has its own quirks.” They currently visit over 100 towns Across Australia, and I had to wonder, is Tully a big enough spot to make it worth their while? Hughes admitted that it may not be the biggest show in Australia, but it does fit their schedule nicely because they can do weekend shows in places like Cairns and Townsville, and then have a more intimate show in Tully on a Thursday night in Tully. “We love Tully,” he said. “We stay overnight at the pub (Top Pub), and it’s a very relaxed town, so a great place to recharge our batteries.” He also like the shows at the Leagues Club.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR “YOUR RATES DOLLARS” Your very colourful rates notices will have arrived. The “How They Work For You“ information flyer provides a breakdown of where your money is spent. After many months of public conversation and speculation on legal costs, it would have been an ideal opportunity to have a "Legal Costs" item identified, so that rate payers and interested persons could see for themselves how much has been spent on legal fees during this term of Local Government. I understand that it is not general practice to show this item, but in the interest of the public I would have thought the timing would have been right. Maybe the current council just don’t want you to know how much their legal fees are! Bryce Macdonald Mayoral candidate Cassowary Coast Regional

Council WELL I KEEP SAYING IT CAN’T GET ANY WORSE for the Kremastos-led unity alliance team. but it just does I refer to a local paper and as reported, exposes Cr Ben Heath’s latest bullying and threatening outburst against a local shop owner, which Heath denies but was actually caught on audio and video. So, no doubt to voters about the event taking place Dismal performance from an elected councillor, say no more Just as well he has not put his hand up for re-election (or will he at the last minute) as I feel he would have very little chance of re-election Let’s move on to the CCRC’s 30 registered complaints against Cr Nolan the only councillor who it seems has the region’s best interests at heart and truly is worth voting for at the next election

Yes voters all of the 30 complaints against Cr Nolan have been cleared by the government Dept and found to be frivolous and mischievous These complaints have been made against Cr Nolan by the CCRC many of who have been convicted of councillor misconduct and fined by the state government authority In my view, and many others’, a blatant misuse of authority which had been found to be abused by the individuals concerned So I am sure the members of the unity alliance team – those that are standing for re-election – may as well not waste their time and money After exposing just how vindictive and bullying and money-wasting the unity alliance team have been and still are here is my prediction for the mayoral result at the coming election Nolan 56 percent McDonald 26 percent Kremastos 18 percent Matt Dyason

Innisfail MY NAME IS GABI PLUMM. I am an independent candidate for CCRC Division 1. My experience in politics is patchy, but my experience with people is deep and lengthy. I have worked in many industries during my life, from travel and tourism to sport and movies, but rarely have I heard of such appalling mismanagement of public funds. I am quite deliberately not pointing any specific bone, but the issues that have been raised with me by those who might one day become my constituents have shocked me. It must be understood that I represent, even only as a candidate, the residents of Cardwell up to East Feluga and all those hamlets in between, and I have heard many times that the quality of drinking water, especially after a good downpour, is disgusting; full of sediment, turbid in the ex-

treme. I have researched the solutions for water delivery for Tully Heads, Hull Heads, E. Feluga, Silky Oak, Lower Tully and on down to Euramo and Murrigal and can see that the new intake reservoirs at Bulgun Creek and Wheatley Hill had start dates only in July 2019 and are still not finished at the beginning of 2020. It’s possible I suppose that they might be up and running by Election Day, just in time for those councillors responsible for their eventual delivery to crow about their achievements. I must simply cry, ‘Too little, too late!’ There are a hundred issues that have been laid at my desk over the last few weeks during which I have been canvassing the locals for comment. One such that drew my concern was the inability of the sky dive company owned by Experience Co., to organise their flight paths to fly over dense forest (which would be more interesting to tourists than peering down at

residential roofs) instead of virtually buzzing the residents and children of E. Feluga. But the one that finally pushed me to put pen to paper, or fingertips to keyboard, was that of the state of the road grading maintenance program. What road grading maintenance program? There clearly isn’t one! In Cardwell itself, there is no grader, no roller in the depot, no water. There is no supervisor except for a couple of times a week, no local contractors, so they have to come in from other towns, meaning that work for local lads goes elsewhere. Any work that needs to be done has to go through a lengthy evaluation system, and the farmers who wait for their roads to be graded end up deciding to do their own, incurring higher insurance costs for their business. How can a council run on such basic inefficiencies? I could go on, but right now, it simply beggars belief. Gabi Plumm Cardwell

A TIP FROM OUR WASTE TEAM

Why is separating waste so important?

If wet waste (red/blue lid bin) is put into the dry waste bin (green lid) it contaminates our landfills and increases the risk to our environment. If dry waste is put into the wet waste bin, this waste then has to take the long, costly, and unnecessary journey all the way to Mareeba! For more information on CCRC kerbside collection visit:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FREEDOM AT WHAT COST? THERE are several constitutional monarchies in Europe. They were instigated because the people wanted a say in who should rule them. The people no longer wanted the monarch to rule like a dictator. So to avoid a revolt, the monarch decided to let the people rule by themselves without the monarch’s interference. To let that happen the monarch demanded that a contract be drawn up, so that the people would not end up in another dictatorship by the people’s chosen government, and this contract is the constitution, a contract between the monarch and the people. The Australian monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has stated that she no longer has anything to do with Australia and our constitution because our governments in the past

have introduced legislation contrary to constitution. The Queen washed her hands on Australia. She failed. She was the head of our defence forces for a very good reason: If the government doesn’t rule according to the contract, then she, the monarch has the power to use the defence forces RAAF, RAN etc., to remove a dictatorial government. Australia is now a dictatorship without constitution. There are people, and I will not name them, who are fighting for the upholding of our constitution, but let me tell you they are urinating into the wind. Australia’s economy is dependent on China, so who is in control? China don’t give two wriggles of a fly’s arse about our constitution. China has only one rule, and if you don’t like the rule, you get a bullet in the back of the head. So all of you guys fighting for upholding our constitution,

where will you go? The High Court, the Privy Council, the Queen? you have nowhere to go except to the ballot box. Forget left and right. Just vote for a candidate who will stand for your convictions, namely, to get Australia back from China before it is too late. Cease all trade with China and deport all mainland Chinese passport holders. Better lose money than your freedom. Don’t forget: When injustice becomes law, resistance become duty. John Nielsen Silkwood RED CROSS CALLING 2020

CASSOWARY Coast Council Region This March, locals from El Arish, Mission Beach, Tully, Feluga, Euramo, Tully Heads, Hull Heads, Murray Upper, Cardwell and surrounding ar-

eas will join a wave of action across Australia to raise money for Red Cross. Red Cross Calling is taking place in March again this year, bringing communities together in a show of support for people in Australia and overseas who have fallen on tough times. In big numbers, Australians everywhere answer the call. I am hoping that your readers may be able to help us do Red Cross calling this year. They could help by volunteering to call on residents in their street or nominate an area to call on. We have several callers who have been door knocking for years but we still need more so please give me a ring. They may wish to have a special event to raise funds. We would appreciate whatever they may wish to do. On behalf of Australian Red Cross I assure you we will

appreciate whatever you do toward our annual Red Cross Calling campaign in March 2020. Red Cross supports thousands of people each year by responding to communities affected by natural disaster; helping isolated elderly people via our Telecross service, blood donations, providing breakfast to children as part of our Good Start Breakfast Program visiting people at home and nursing homes and many other services that need funding each year. With the unprecedented amount of natural disasters we have experienced over the previous years, and currently experiencing, our resources have been stretched to the limit. I would urge you and your readers to consider making a financial contribution towards Red Cross Calling 2020 so that we can continue our vital community work.

There are many ways to get involved with Red Cross Calling and show support for people experiencing hardship. You can support our local event, register your own fun activity, or make a donation. All donations and help will be appreciated. If you can do anything please get in touch with me direct as I am the local convenor, Jean Vallianos, at Nick & Jeans, 2 Butler St., or ring me on 0414253230. Red Cross calling begins March 1 and goes for all of March till the March 31. Thank you for your consideration of this request and please call me should you require any further information about Red Cross Calling, or register as a Red Cross Calling collector. Yours sincerely, Jean Vallianos OAM Local Convenor. Tully Red Cross,

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS CCIN continues with its brief introductions to councillor candidates for the 28 March 2020 Local Government elections. This week we focus on the two candidates for Division 3, Trudy Tschui and Hilary Watson. Division 3 is centred on the Kurrimine and Mission Beach region, including Carmoo. Neither Tschui nor Watson are part of a team and both are self-funding their campaigns. Trudy, the owner/ operator of ‘The Hair Strand Salon’ at Mission Beach, which she opened in 1995, also stood in the 2016 election when there were five candidates. She

obtained 613 (23%) first preference votes against the 706 (27%) polled by the eventual winner, Cr. Wayne Kimberley, who following the boundary change is standing for Division 2 this election. She told CCIN that she was born and educated in Tully, working in hospitality and retail, before opening her Mission Beach business. “I have been involved with many and varied local community groups over the years. I enjoyed my time as a Girl Guide leader, a member and President of the Tully Lioness Club, and Fete Coordinator for St Clare's Primary School in Tully. More recently, I initiated The Handbag Project,

which saw people from the length of the Cassowary Coast unite to send filled handbags to women in need,” Trudy informed CCIN. Tschui said, “I have put my hand to up to stand for local government because I feel that I have more to give and more to offer to our community. I have been involved in the community for many years, as a resident of both Division 3 and the wider Cassowary Coast, and I feel I can be of more service in this role.” Trudy concedes that she has no direct experience within local government but “I have attended at least a dozen, if not, more CCRC meetings over the past four years to learn and observe. I recently hosted an informal evening with residents to discuss what was important to them,” Trudy said. “The issues that were presented most frequent-

ly were the lack of transparency with the current Council, and the misinformation of media, in particular the exaggeration of weather events and the flow-on effect to our tourism industry.” She added, “Those who attended also expressed concerns about the feeling of division with the region. I believe that a stronger Council can work towards fostering a more united Cassowary Coast.” I would love to see our beaches busier than they have recently been. For a variety of reasons, the landscape of shops and services have changed. While this is not directly a council issue, I think that working closely with tourism bodies and doing more to promote our unique region would reap significant benefits for Division 3,” Trudy said to CCIN. “I believe the current Council have performed reasonably well. In the meetings that I have attended, discussions

Trudy Tschui

seemed positive and progress was being made. I think that it is important that the plans for Mission Beach and Jacobs Road, Kurrimine proceed.” And she feels that “Residents also want to see their representative actively involved and present in the community, which is why communication and approachability are such topical issues going into this election.” Tschui finished by saying, “If I am voted in on March 28, then my business will be 'For Sale'. I will be a full time Councilor.” Hilary Watson told CCIN that she was standing because she loves “where we live and our region, is passionate about the community, is driven to provide strong representation and wants to make a positive difference.” She grew up in Mission Beach and after studying business and marketing in Brisbane and Cairns, “couldn’t wait to

Hilary Watson

move back” where she is now part-owner of the Helen Wiltshire Gallery and works with her husband in running Mark Watson Constructions. Hilary has been one of the principal liaisons between the local, especially business, community and Council in developing the Mission Beach Masterplan. She has also been involved with a number of community events at Mission Beach, including The Village Green Christmas Parties, the New Year Eve Fireworks as well as the recent Finale event for the World Rafting Championships. “Our region is still suffering after a string of major economic impacts, 2 cyclones, the Global Financial Crisis and continued economic instability. These affected our main industries of farming and tourism,” Hilary said, saying that moving forward, “Council’s role is to support industry led initiatives and develop strategies to support progress.” Specifically for Division 3, she believes that the Mission Beach and Kurrimine areas “thrive on tourism and are in my opinion the jewel in the crown of the Cassowary Coast and North Queensland.” She wants “Council to support these towns’ tourism growth by pro-

viding basic necessary infrastructure upgrades and beautification, by ensuring development is done in a way that protects and promotes the natural beauty of the area and by investing in tourism promotion.” Watson believes “the current council have continued the work of the previous council in reducing debt and keeping rate rises to a minimum and they have helped to deliver and plan for much needed infrastructure improvements. They have also focussed positively on growing tourism in our region. Going forward, I think it is important to listen to the community as it calls for greater transparency within council, and this is something I think is vitally important to a successful council.” If elected Hilary is ”looking forward to her commitment to serving the community” but plans to continue at the Helen Wiltshire Gallery as “my work there is currently hands on only 1 day per week and it is a great way to keep in contact with the community and in touch with the issues faced by local businesses. I will also continue in my capacity as part of Mark Watson Constructions, which is also totally flexible,” she said.

Bob and Cheryl Shaw Celebrate 50 Golden Years of Marriage MARIA GIRGENTI

LOCAL couple Bob and Cheryl Shaw (nee Elliott) recently celebrated their golden anniversary and marked the special milestone with a surprise intimate gathering of 40 family and close friends at a private residence in East Innisfail. On the day, the happy couple were cheered on as they cut a replica of their wedding cake which was masterfully re-created by local cake artist Kris Pierantozzi. They first met at a dance studio in Nundah in 1963 where Bob was teaching dance and Cheryl came along as a student. From 1967 to 1969, they moved to Taroom in the Western Downs Region of Queensland which had a population of less than 1,000 where Bob was a high school manual arts teacher and Cheryl worked as a nurse. In 1969, they returned to Brisbane and were married at the Methodist Church in Albert Street. Soon after they were married, they moved to Innisfail where they first settled into a large Queenslander

at Scheu Street, a renovator's dream, which they took to with gusto while Bob also built a boat. This was followed by a move to Freeman Street where another renovation and a boat was built before they moved and built their first new home at Coquette Point. During the earlier years of their marriage, they also embarked on travel adventures throughout southeast Asia. The couple lived at Coquette Point for 15 years where Bob built three large boats, and during those years, they were blessed with two children, Jackie born in 1972 and Michael born in 1977. Bob worked at Innisfail State High School as a manual arts teacher, while Cheryl continued her nursing at Innisfail Hospital, and both completed 30 years in their chosen professions. In 1966, they saw an opportunity to retire and take life a bit easier. Bob then went on to build their current home at Edgerton Road, however a serious back injury at work meant Cheryl could only look on as Bob continued building

their home while balancing the childcare role. An outdoor lover, Bob has always enjoyed spearfishing, boating and fishing, while Cheryl has always been his right-hand mate and second mate. The couple have travelled by caravan twice around Australia covering all different terrain and made lots of friends all over the nation. Bob has shown a real passion and talent for woodworking, while Cheryl continues to produce beautiful applique and patchwork, not to mention her baking, with both having won prizes and championships in the Innisfail Show.

More recently, the pair have combined their love of caravanning with the excitement of outback horse racing meeting and Fashions of the Field. They are well known locally and throughout the western regions of Queensland after having won many individual and couple prizes. Their love of travel has also seen them tick New Zealand, Japan, Europe and their favourite destination, Canada, off their bucket list. When asked what it takes to make a long-lasting and successful marriage, both said 'love, communication and compromise.'

As the publi- the decision-making proSEAN DENT THERE’S a form of indoor cycling that the first time you see it, you can’t understand why no one is going fast. It’s as if they are trying to lose the race, going as slow as possible and staying just behind the leaders until the very last moment, when they ramp things up and go for the win. That’s what Division 2 in the upcoming Council election feels like. We spoke with Peter Reed this week, who has been contemplating a run for councillor for years, with none other than the well-regarded Mayor Bill Shannon urging him to have a go. Last week, he thought he might announce in “a couple of days”. This week, Reed has decided to take a holiday in Tasmania and leave his announcement until the final date for nominations, Feb 22. Wayne Kimberley has also been extremely quiet and didn’t return my call, asking him if he’d made up his mind. Kimberley’s situation is a bit complex. Firstly, he ran in Division

can in El Arish, that made sense. Now, with the rezoning, El Arish is now in Division 2. In a normal election year, that might have set off an interesting matchup because he would be standing against one of his co-councillors. In 2020, however, the incumbent in Division 2 will not be standing for reasons pretty much known around the area, giving Kimberley a noncontroversial run in Division 2 if he wants it. A couple of weeks ago, I asked him did he want it? The rumours early last year were that he felt his re-election chances were weak, and that he was one of two people (Mayor Kremastos being the other) who felt threatened, and so the story goes, they brought on board the woman behind Bob Katter’s many re-election successes, Anne Pleash. (It should be noted that Kimberley went to great pains at the Tully Transparency Now Rally last year to say he had nothing to do with the Pleash hiring. He said he was conflicted out of

cess because he once had a drink at Pleash’s house.) In 2016, Division 2 was essentially El Arish and Mission Beach, and Kimberley won by just 65 first-preference votes, beating out Alister Pike, with Trudy Tschui a close third place. In 2020, Division 2 is predominantly El Arish and Tully. Speaking to people around Tully, not even the Katter ex-Chief of Staff can help him this time. It may be why he prevaricated when I asked him if this will be his division, slipping off into tangents. Then again, the intensity is not there for most of the Division 2 candidates, Ross Sorbello is also on holiday at the moment, and Teresa Millwood has her hands full with moving house. Leonie Barra also has a few things she’s sorting out, although she does seem at the very least, keen to not just get her message out but to get it out in her own unique way. Watch this space.

A special section for Valentine’s Day SEAN DENT A friend of mine recently said to me that libraries are going the way of the dinosaurs. I asked him, “Didn’t you have a trial subscription at Audible?” Audible is a service that provides audio books. You can listen to them on your phone. He’d enjoyed it, but found it expensive ($16.45/ month) for the amount of time he used it. I told him about the free audio books he can get, and he doesn’t need to even go to the library. “You pay for Netflix too?” I asked him. I told him about the movies he can get free. He’s an IT guy, so I told him about Lynda.com (a LinkedIn

company) that offers thousands of courses on web development, software development, design, business, photography, marketing, etc, normally $39.99/month but free to Cassowary Coast residents. I could tell he was taking it all in. By the end he said, “I definitely need to get to the library!” Recently, Tully Library started doing a survey which closes tomorrow (Friday), but you can still access it online, and there will be a second round of feedback from the community. Over 150 people responded to the survey which basically asked, “What changes do you want to see at the library?”

istrator at Tully Library, “We got a lot of responses where people asked for things we already do. We had other people who just said to keep doing what we’re doing, it’s perfect.” Of all the things the Council does, the library is one of the most underrated facilities it provides. “A lot of people don’t even know it exists,” said Marsh. “One day I was getting work done on my car, and they offered me a lift back to the library. Then the person asked me where the library is.” It’s unknown how much money Council will provide for new services, but when people stared at the survey sheet blankly, Marsh asked them if they wanted a bigger car park or a covered walkway so people could park their cars and walk to the library without getting wet. That sounds like there’s significant money. If you’re looking for an excuse to go there, tomorrow (Valentine’s Day) is Library Lovers’ Day. Bring along a plate (and

ers. They currently have a section called “Blind Date” where you can borrow a gift-wrapped book without knowing the title. Another Valentine’s option is called, “Why don’t you love me?”: a selection of quality items that haven’t been checked out in a while. On Feb 26, they have Barbara Wood coming in to discuss her book latest book. If you haven’t heard of Wood, she’s a public speaker who helps people cope with the emotional side effects of cancer. Or you can just pop in for a look at the many historic photos and works of art. It’s the closest thing we have to a museum in Tully. The staff are super-helpful, and I give you my personal guarantee, you will not leave there without something: a book, a movie, an audiobook, free membership to one resource or another, and this applies to all the libraries along the Cassowary Coast.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10 TRAFFIC OFFENCE, INNISFAIL ESTATE At about 3am on Saturday morning (February 8), a vehicle was observed by police to be allegedly travelling back and forth over the Geraldton Bridge. As officers drove over the bridge, the 31-year-old Innisfail Estate man has allegedly hit the brakes hard, causing his vehicle to skid and cross over onto the wrong side of the road.

RURAL REPORT

Soil pits help farmers dig deeper into soil health Farmers are excavating on their properties to learn more about soil health. Tully cane growers John and Kate Knight, Fishery Falls cane farmer Glen Anderson and Mutchilba lime and tea tree growers Michelle and Ante Milicevic are among the numbers digging deep pits for field days that have brought primary producers together from all over Far North Queensland. Mr Knight said the variety of soils on properties highlighted how important it was to manage different areas of farmland in different ways. “We’ve learnt through this that some of our soil is high in aluminium and we need to add more lime in sections to make things

more balanced,’’ he said. “For us this is all about looking after the ground better, at a time when the margins are getting tighter.” The soil pit on his land highlighted different issues. “You could see the crosscut of cane rows, how deep the roots went down, and the difference in top soil depth in the cane and inter-rows because of compaction,’’ he said. He is one of 18 farmers in the latest six-month Digging Deeper Plus soil health course delivered by Terrain NRM for primary producers ranging from cane and dairy farmers to beef cattle, tropical fruit, lime, tea tree and flower producers.

Terrain NRM’s Rowan Shee said farmers received a free soil test and on-farm soil health advice as part of the program, which is led by soil fertility specialist David Hardwick and is based on all the participants’ properties. “The soil pits days are a great way to start – we are used to paying attention to just the surface soil but there’s a lot going on deeper down and pits can help answer questions about crop development, compaction, soil quality, structure and variety,’’ he said. “In the Wet Tropics, we have everything from fertile red volcanic soils to light granite soils but many of the take-home messages are the same – about know-

ing your different soil types and learning how to build soil health across all of them. “Learning how to better understand soil tests results and apply them to land management is also a big part of this program.” The Digging Deeper Plus program is supported by Terrain NRM through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program. Farmers who want to learn more about their soils can watch a series of Wet Tropics videos featuring David Hardwick at www.terrain.org.au/projects/digging-deeper/soilhealth

Taking to the skies in the fight against Panama TR4

Recent Weather Bodes Well for Cane Crop

Biosecurity Queensland has called in air support in its war against the biggest threat to Australia’s $580 million banana industry. Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said drones were being used to check compliance activities on farms infested with the soil-borne fungus, Panama disease tropical race 4 (Panama TR4), in Far North Queensland. “Banana plant regrowth is not permitted in a destruction zone on a farm infested with the disease, Mr Furner said. “Drones are particular-

With the recent rainfall followed by sunny days, it is impossible not to notice the healthy green colour and growth of vegetation around the district and this includes sugar cane and fallow crops. The rainfall for January was in fact almost half the long-term average for the month but it was very effective rain, falling regularly with sunny days in between and no floods, and crops have reacted accordingly. To date, February has been more of the same, good steady rain followed by sunny, hot days. Perfect plant growing weather. This time of year we start to measure the sugarcane crop and this is done in several ways. Firstly we count the stalks/10m on sample are-

ly useful for inspecting large areas of land or locations that are difficult to access. “It’s important that the number of people going onto farms with Panama TR4 is minimised to reduce any risk of spreading the disease. “Using a drone allows us to quickly map an area and take detailed photos of the destruction zone. This eliminates the need for boots on the ground. “If the drone detects any plant regrowth in a destruction zone, the grower is advised so they can remove the plants in accordance with strict bios-

ecurity protocols.” Mr Furner said vigilance was the key to containing Panama TR4. “It is great that the disease is still confined to just four farms within close proximity of each other after four years,” he said. “This is largely due to the combined efforts of government, industry and research bodies working together,” he said. “I urge growers to maintain their efforts with on-farm biosecurity as it remains the best way to protect their farms from Panama TR4.”

as throughout the district. We try to have at least one site per sub district, and this count is used to determine the cane stalks per hectare. In broad terms a normal sugar cane crop will need to have around 90 000 stalks/hectare. This time last year there was more like 80 000 stalks/ hectare which is part of the reason the 2019 crop was slightly smaller than an average crop Then we start measuring the crop height and growth rate. To do this, we measure the cane height to what is known as the “first visible dewlap’, the area on the cane stem where the leaves all start to emerge. By measuring the cane height to the first visible dewlap every day over a selected 7-10 day period

we can get an idea of the average growth rate. This growth rate can go as high as 18mm or nearly 1.8cm a day under very good conditions. Currently in Tully, in areas like Riversdale the crop that is being measured is growing 12mm a day which is far more realistic. That equals close to 8cm a week which is to be expected when we get rain followed by hot, humid sunny days. If this seems like a lot, just watch how houses and sheds disappear quite quickly from view when driving the Bruce highway! Of course, this growth rate doesn’t happen every day; some overcast days there will be very little growth. We don’t just rely on physically measuring of

cane crops though. Over the past few years we have been working with the University of New England who have run a four-year project in the sugar cane industry to perfect satellite technology as a way to estimate crop growth. Another way is to use drones. By matching the technology to the physical measurements we try to get as accurate estimate of the crop as possible. Whatever the measuring technique used, it is all reliant on the crop growing and the kind of weather we have been experiencing since December is exactly what we need, plenty of moisture and plenty of sunlight!

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Mourilyan State School off to a Bright Start MARIA GIRGENTI MOURILYAN State School had a positive start to the 2020 year, with 154 students, 22 of whom were new Preps having started their first year of formal schooling. This year the school welcomed a new full-time Learning Support and Special Education teacher Shane Mayberry, from South Australia who is looking forward to connecting with students, helping them to get along and be successful. A stable teaching staff has helped everyone settle quickly into the school year with lots of positive feedback from parents on the Prep transition program as they have observed their little ones stepping easily into school life. The school’s motto is Seek, Discover and Learn, with the school community aiming to follow the four main expectations of respect for self, others, environment/ property and learning with a philosophy of ‘Every stu-

dent successfully learning and achieving today for ongoing success tomorrow.’ In 2020, there will be a core focus on the explicit teaching of writing from Prep to Year 6, as well as continuing with STEM initiatives encouraging thinking and problem solving of students in the 21st century. Teaching staff will continue with quality reading aiming for consistency across the whole school, with a balance of curriculum learning, as well as sports and camps, with a focus on the social and emotional well-being of students so they enjoy coming to school, have friends and are learning whilst building them up to be confident and resilient young people. It is shaping up to be a busy year, starting with an Obstathon on March 6, a student Council fundraiser with monies raised going towards the cost of camps and excursions. All camps have been booked for Years 3 - 6 in Term 3 while Years 1 - 2 will have a sleepover at the school. On Monday, March 9 at

Mourilyan State School Principal Susan Hoad and Year 6 teacher Edmond Starkey with Michael (vice-captain), Clayten and Estelle (school captains) and Shyla (vice-captain) 5.30pm the school’s P & C Association will hold their AGM where all positions will become vacant and parents/carers are encouraged to put their hand up and be part of the committee. Cross country will be held on Friday, March 27, and there is plenty on the calen-

dar, including ANZAC Day ceremony and popular annual school fete later in the year. There is much excitement in the air, as students have started script reading, and rehearsals will start soon in preparation for the school musical performance of

‘Porridge’ to be held at the end of Term 3 which will be staged by Year 6s, although the whole school will be involved. A Parent Information evening will be held on Monday, February 17 from 5.30pm - 7.30pm which will enable parents to hear about

the school’s priorities and individual classroom expectations where teachers will also explain their work plans and routines to parents and students. The evening proactively promotes bringing the community together by working closely with students and

their families, so every student has the opportunity to be successful. New enrolments from Prep to Year 6 are welcome and further information can be obtained by contacting the school on 4063 0222.

With the duo tied on the last hole, both golfers had 20 foot putts to snatch the win. Jake sunk his 20-footer for birdie to put the pressure on, but Caine remembered his Junior Golf training to roll his ball right in the centre to win by a shot! Great work Caine, for another win on the course! 1st – C Cockle 38pts 2nd - J Cockle 37pts SATURDAY 1ST FEB Cairns Golf World Monthly Medal The course was packed for the Monthly Medal. Thirty-four players set out to get their name on the board for the Medal of Medals at the end of the year. The new handicapping system certainly put the pressure on the players, with all the men losing a shot or two with the new system. The best of the morning groups was a tie on 73 nett by Andrew Rose, Jason Edmonson & Paul Tattam. The afternoon groups struggled & likely that a par score of 70 nett, could take the win, John Lombardi had one bad hole to shoot the winning score 70 nett over Darryl Wall 71 nett.

GONE FISHING REPORT The weather conditions have been fairly consistent over the last few weeks: flat seas of an early morning with the northerly winds picking up as the day gets hotter. Last weekend we saw a northerly pick up during Saturday afternoon, however Sunday the winds picked up earlier and were a lot stronger. I wish I had the formula to pick these variations; the weather bureau certainly can`t. The only answer is to get out early and return early. The reports that have been passed on to me have been of very good reef fishing with good numbers of Coral Trout and assorted other species such as Stripeys and Red Throat Emperor. The wrecks and shale patches have also fished well with good numbers of Nannygai, Tea Leaf Trevally and Cobia. There has even been a few out-of-season Spanish Mackerel caught. As normal, most boats encountered problems with Bull Sharks taking hooked fish. There has also been the odd boat travelling out wide with some fantastic reports of big Nannygai and Red Emperor taking baits read-

ily along the edge of the continental shelf. Wasn`t that an incredible photo of a Flame Snapper that was published in last week’s paper. Apparently, they live in 200 to 300 metres of water, quite an effort. For those after some fun, there have been schools of both Bluefin and Mack Tuna working the current lines in the shipping channel – just look for the birds. Closer in around the islands it has definitely been an early morning affair with strong northeaster lies in the afternoon. The fishing has been good for those prepared to be out there for the sunrise, with some very good Fingermark and Coral Trout being caught. The Grass Sweet Lip have been around in huge numbers along with the occasional big Grunter and Gold Spot Cod. The Spanish Mackerel have been very scarce in close, however, there is still a few Grey Mackerel around if you put in the time. The huge tides we had last weekend made fishing the estuaries almost impossible, with your only realistic chance being to fish either side of the change of tide. There were a few Barra caught and there has been some big Tarpon feeding on patches of jelly prawn in the shallows. I have also

managed a few flathead by fishing any irregularities along the edge of the sand bars around the mouth of the rivers. Mud crabs have not been plentiful, and the large tides made keeping the pots on the bottom difficult. The smaller tides this week will be a game changer. The lower freshwater reaches of the Tully, Maria and Liverpool rivers have been fishing really well, with good numbers of Barra, Jacks, Sooties and Tarpon. These big tides push water right up into these pools and the fish move up with it. At times it can be amazing with big Bull Sharks often mov-

ing along with the tide. I keep harping on about Bull Sharks but the State Government really has to recognise that we have a big problem and do something about it. The middle and upper freshwater reaches of the Tully are fishing well with good numbers of Sooty Grunter and small Barra. The latest lot of rain seems to have got the Jungle Perch on the move as there have plenty turning up along the whole length of the river. The J.P.s need to travel down to the brackish water to breed. At this early stage of the week the forecast for this weekend is for 5 to 10 knots. I would be surprised if there

isn`t an afternoon breeze, so as said earlier, unless you have a large boat, get out early and return early. The tides this weekend are great, especially if you are into fishing for Barra and Jacks, try either side of the morning low tide. These tides will also suit those who can manage the early predawn rise and fish for Fingermark, Grunter and Grass Sweet Lip around the headlands and islands. A warning there have been numerous sightings of box jellyfish along the beaches. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

the day was St. Clare’s School. The Age Champions were: 9yr Boy: Lachlan Andersen - Mission Beach State School, 9yr Girl: Giaan Williamson - St. Clare’s School, 10yr Boy: Liam Quabba - St. Clare’s School, 10yr Girl: Simone Clarke – Mission Beach State School, 11yr Boy:
