Update on my accident

Mail: PO Box 1100 TULLY QLD 4854

I haven’t mentioned my accident for a while, so I just wanted to give the community a bit of an update on how things are currently travelling. On one hand, I am excited as it looks like 2020 is the year that I will finally get an offer for reparations to consider. On the other hand, 2020 has become a year of continuous revelations as to the differences between pre-accident Sari and post-accident Sari. I am now being trained by Girl Director in film production and Kareema from Online Services in website development. The most fascinating realization to me is that I used to be a person who was predominantly a support person to other people who struggled, but now I am a person who needs support. It is only when I am in the middle of attempting to complete tasks that I come to realise how much support that post-accident Sari needs to be able to complete the task. When I first come to completing the task, I foolishly believe it will happen with the same timeframe/skillset as pre-accident Sari. I wonder if this is the same struggle that everyone goes through as they get older when they compare their younger self to their older self? We all want to be able to do the same things we have always done, and with age and experience we know that we will do them better, but without the strength and resilience that we had in our youth, we often don’t deliver what we set out to.

Focus: Camera Obscura CONTINUED FROM PG1 Langtry has more than fifteen years of commercial experience in photography and has taught at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), also obtaining personal qualifications from RMIT. Langtry currently has an exhibition at the office of Virgin Australia. Langtry and his wife have now moved to Mission Beach and are managing a local resort. Langtry hopes to continue to be involved with Mission Arts in the future. Langtry felt that the name Focus is a good name for a community exhibition at Mission Arts. Langtry enjoyed the name Focus as “all the ideas, all the spirit of the people and community all come to focus in one spot, one

area and I think that is really, really exciting,” said Langtry. Cassey has an international portfolio of work from a young age. Cassey started his photographic journey at the age of 11, when he had his first camera. Cassey became a freelance photojournalist at the age of 15 and would sit on the tryline at matches in London and take photos that then made it into local and metropolitan newspapers in London. Cassey then moved to Australia and has since worked with the Cairns Post and other newspapers around Australia. At one stage of his professional career he worked for British media in Australia, South-east Asia and the pacific for the British tabloids. “I have had a wonderful time as a photojournalist over the years and as

a photographer over the years, and it is all about at this stage of the career, giving back your thoughts and your expertise,” said Cassey. The Focus exhibition had over eighty entries with a very large proportion of entries being seascape and landscape entries, and there was also a very large flora and fauna section. “Many of the entries were (from around our region) but some were from people’s travels,” said Lyndah Hannah a member of the Focus Exhibition Committee. The Focus exhibition had more than one hundred people in attendance, and this year the volunteer army that ensures that exhibitions are able to continue on a yearly basis, was celebrated with a gift of roses to the committee members.

Val Robertson Recognised for 32 Years as President of Innisfail & District Historical Society MARIA GIRGENTI A SURPRISE morning tea was held recently at Johnstone Shire Hall to formally recognise Innisfail & District Historical Society stalwart Val Robertson for 32 years of service as President, and celebrate some of her achievements since the museum started in 1984. As a further surprise, the Society’s long-standing Secretary Diana O’Brien was also honoured for 35 years of dedicated service. A wooden piece and plaque was presented to Mrs Robertson by Mayor John Kremastos, while Diana was presented with an engraved wooden bowl by the Society’s Patron, Herb Layt. Both items were made by Innisfail Woodworkers Guild and the engraving was done by Rik Russell of Russell Signage & Printery. Robertson, originally from New Zealand has

been living in Innisfail for 60 years, said this was a complete surprise to her, and it had been a honour to be part of the museum. “The museum has been my second life after I came to Australia and started researching my family history, but my interest was ignited after discovering the history of Innisfail had links to my birthplace in New Zealand through explorer Thomas Fitzgerald.” Val Robertson became a member of Innisfail & District Historical Society on April 24, 1987 and became President on March 3, 1988, so has held this role for 32 consecutive years until 2020. Over the years, Val has taken the museum from one room in the upper floor to eventual occupation of the entire two floors in the School of Arts Building. She has been a representative for Historical Society in Heritage North and attended meetings at

Port Douglas, Gordonvale, Tablelands, Innisfail and Mourilyan. In 1997, in partnership with Queensland Art Gallery, Val and then secretary Carol Huddy on behalf of Innisfail Historical Society arranged for the restoration of two valuable paintings of the See Poy children. Val has also been involved in the planning, setting up and manning of special displays in Central Arcade and Shire Hall such as Vale Johnstone Shire Council, 100th anniversary of name change from Geraldton to Innisfail, opening of new Jubilee Bridge and many others. Robertson, along with other members of the Society and Council staff, was involved in the production of a book and event at Shire Hall to mark the centenary of 1918 cyclone, which was named Event of the Year at Cassowary Coast Regional Council

Australia Day Awards in 2019. Over the years, Val has hosted countless children from various schools in the district who have visited the museum, even at one time making butter in the churn on display much to the delight of those students present. Val has been involved with acquiring grants for educational purposes, as well as for the purchase of additional equipment and display cases including two large glass cases complete with LED lighting to highlight the artefacts. The Society wished to thank Cassowary Coast Regional Council for hosting the event, along with long term resident Miss Thelma Mellick who played the piano whilst guests arrived and mingled prior to the morning tea.

Coronavirus: Don’t Panic – but Do It With an Abundance of Caution SEAN DENT Coronavirus is affecting us even beyond the death toll. In Italy, they’re playing top-flite soccer behind closed doors, suffering losses of millions of dollars. Athletes are being told not to sign autographs. People are being told to avoid shaking hands, and that includes the Catholic Church telling people they do not have to shake hands during the Sign of Peace. Schools are closing their doors in some places. The American stock markets are fluctuating wildly in the past week due to Coronavirus deaths. The Louvre in Paris has closed its doors. Travel bans are happening all over the world in an attempt to stay free of contamination, and it’s not working. It is serious, but it’s time to panic. Panic nev-

er helps. It is, however, a time to educate ourselves and to exercise an abundance of caution. Everything you read in this article comes from a reliable source that I have checked out. If you’re on social media, you’ll read a lot of misinformation. Be very cautious about that. If in doubt check with someone like your GP. Tip number one is wash your hands often and avoid touching your face. This week, Dr Jeannette Young, Queensland Chief Health Officer, said that the safety of Queenslanders is their number one priority. “Our health system is working to keep Queenslanders safe from the virus, but the best weapon the community can deploy against the virus is hand-washing. Washing your hands is the gold standard of health advice as far as coronavirus goes,” Dr Young said.

The US Surgeon General has told people to stop buying masks. The Australian government is screening everyone who comes into the country, but full details of the screening process are not available. Neither is anyone answering questions. I called Tully Hospital to get information about procedures if someone feels they may be in danger. I was told that Tully Hospital staff could not make any comment to the press at all, and to contact Cairns and Hinterland Hospital Services. I was advised by the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital Service to contact Queensland Health’s media department. That reminded me, I’d sent them an email with questions two weeks before and never got a response. They were pretty straightforward questions. I could have got the an-

swers from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website, but I wanted someone local to look my questions over and give me the thumbs up. We do pay these media people, after all, to provide information to the media. I have repeatedly been stonewalled by their media department – the answer I kept hearing was, go to our website. I kept calling until I got answers. The answer was basically, “We are too busy. If you suspect you may be infected, call the local hospital and get further instructions.” Here’s the thing. We’re Australians. We look on the bright side. We don’t assume the worst. She’ll be right, mate. The phrase, “an abundance of caution” does not enter into our daily discourse. Also, this is a region where a lot of travellers come to get their 88 days. These

people get paid by the hour and they’re tough. Humping bananas is not for the weak. They don’t take days off work just because they have the sniffles. Other people told me they would not be running to the doctor just because they are exhibiting flu

My unofficial sources tell me that if a patient calls the hospital, they will diagnose you on the phone to see if you need to come in. The potential problem is, part of the diagnosis is asking you if you have been to China, Iran, Italy or South Korea. That’s

symptoms. They’re also not avoiding being in contact with other people, and that is how viruses spread.

a problem because more than 60 other countries have reported cases of the Coronavirus.

I’d have more confidence that they know what they’re doing if they weren’t so reluctant to answer questions. The best advice they’ve given is, wash your hands. I have been researching this in-depth for the past few weeks, so I’m going to tell you to also watch for flu symptoms: Headache, cough, fever plus any kind of breathing difficulties. If you have these symptoms, call the hospital and insist on an examination. If they tell you you’re okay because you haven’t been to certain countries, remain calm and insist again. Various people representing our state and federal health bodies told me not to incite panic. This is not panicking; this is exercising an abundance of caution and potentially protecting not just yourself, but everyone you come into contact with.

CCRC

Legal Bill Continues To Climb Illegal Dumping Addressed

Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS In contrast to the previous meeting, the Local Council meeting in Innisfail on 27 February 2020 had a fairly light agenda and was all over by 11:00am. The financial report for the seven months to January 31, 2020 was tabled and discussed. Council is travelling well year-to-date, with the Net Result, both before and after Capital Items, being over $2m ahead of budget. There was the usual chat about legal costs in the CEO’s Department with these reported as a hefty $467,000 for the seven-month period. The Chief Financial Officer waved around the 2018/19

Annual Report claiming it showed clearly why the legal costs relating to Council/CEO’s defamation and related legal adventures “could not be the $1.8m thrown around on social media.” The logic of this claim escapes CCIN as the total legal costs for the past two years are $1.76m, plus the $467,000 so far this year totals $2.23m, well above $1.8m. CCIN accepts the cost is likely less than $1.8m because of other cases, but why CCRC refuses to clear the air and simply inform the public what it has/is spending on the defamation matter is difficult to understand, particularly given that the Office of the Information

Commissioner (OIC) informed Council back in December 2019 that they saw no reason why the figures could not be released in the public interest. The good news is that there was reference to an insurance recovery of $151,000 actually being received. A long way to go to recover the 100% of legal costs from insurance as the Mayor claimed back in September 2019, but certainly a step in the right direction. Again why Council simply does not release the insurance letter is perplexing. Council appears to fail to understand that by keeping the truth from the public, the suspicion is that they are covering up something.

A benchmarking report comparing 2018/19 financial data from CCRC with Livingstone, Hinchinbrook, Whitsundays and Tablelands Regional Councils was tabled. In summary, while some of CCRC’s indicators are slightly below and some above average, overall, its financial position compares favourably. This generated some discussion about CCRC’s comparatively high level of rates. The report noted that the value of CCRC’s asset base per rateable property is 36% higher than the average, so that related depreciation costs are a prime factor in our high rates. The most disappointing

agenda item related to the actions deemed necessary to curb illegal dumping. In July 2019 the State Government introduced a waste levy increasing the cost of all waste going to landfill. While mechanisms were put in place to ensure household domestic waste is not affected by the levy for three years, no scheme was put in place for commercial waste. And it appears that illegal dumping of mostly green waste, white goods and old furniture has increased as a consequence. Identified illegal hotspots include Waldock Road, Kurrimine Beach, Jubilee Bridge, Ella Bay, Sundown Road and Polly Creek. Many had also seen

the recent photos on social media of the dumping at Jackey Jackey St., South Mission Beach. To combat this dumping, the State introduced two grants for local councils. And CCRC has been successful in obtaining funds from these programmes, enabling it engage a new full time employee to undertake illegal dumping investigations along with waste education. Cr. Kimberley also suggested that it could be economically better overall if opening hours at transfer stations be increased, as often frustrated ‘visitors’ simply dump their rubbish nearby if the station is closed when they arrive. The Infrastructure Servic-

es Capital Report was tabled, and it was interesting to note that for the recently completed Cowley Creek Bridge Replacement, the original start date for this had mysteriously jumped forward 12 months from October 2018 to October 2019. Does someone’s bonus depend on timely completion? As reported elsewhere the meeting concluded with the Mayor announcing the marketing coup in having the Targa Great Barrier Reef include sections of the Cassowary Coast in this year’s event. And matters not reported from the previous meeting include…

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Last Thursday I attended the meet the candidates forum in Tully where all the candidates from division 1 and 2 and the three mayoral candidates faced set questions arranged by the Tully Chamber of Commerce. This format gave the candidates, it seems, plenty of time to come up with their set responses to these questions. I could not help but assume the questions had been heavily quarantined as there were no questions on the really big issues like Port Hinchinbrook and the dredging of one mile creek, and I know the candidates from this division we’re feeling a bit left out on the southern end of our region In my opinion, Card-

well is one of the most important areas as it’s a point of first contact if driving north. Once all prepared questions were answered, the forum was opened up to a limited number of questions from the floor. In view of the scandal and misconduct of councillors and senior staff that voters have had to put up with over the Kremastos tenure and the bullying of other councillors – and I refer to the 30 complaints against councillor Nolan, all of which were dismissed – I asked the following question of all candidates present with a view to at least allowing all those present to clear the air of any possible repercussions against them following or during the

election lead up. My question was: Are any of the candidates standing for election or re-election involved in any type of legal action or under any investigation by any state local government authority? I said all I wanted was a simple yes or no answer. All candidates answered no except for Deputy Mayor Kimberley and Mayor Kremastos, who both answered yes. So voters, here we have two senior sitting councillors at a public meeting advising those present that they are asking for your support and are presently under investigation. With postal voting opening this week and pre poll voting opening very soon also, it appears we

still don’t have full disclosure from the leader of the unity team who was elected on a ticket of open and transparent governance. If you vote for a councillor who is under investigation you could very well be facing a bi-election in your division if that particular councillor is made to stand down by state government i.e., more expense for ratepayers. Voters need to know the full story before going to the polls and any grey areas certainly need to be made public by those concerned. I know how I would feel if I wasted my vote.

CCRC HIGH RATES

With reference to an article in the Cassowary Coast Independent News 27th Feb 2020 it was stated the reason our Council believes we have high rates in the Cassowary Coast was because it does not have a big enough rate base. Before the amalgamation of the Johnstone and Cardwell Shires, the Cardwell Shire Council with a small population and a small rate base were able to keep their books on the right side of the ledger. This was not the case with the Johnstone Shire Council, through mis-management over many, years they built up a massive debt. If they were a private company, they would have

been declared Bankrupt many years ago. The Johnstone Shire Council had a larger population base and a larger rate base. With the amalgamation the Cardwell Shire rate payers were left to carry the burden The Premier Peter Beattie decided to throw most Councils into the one melting pot. Smiling Premier Peter said by amalgamation of some of the Shires they would operate more efficiently; this has not been the case. He walked away and left the incoming Councils to sort out the mess. Since the amalgamation you cannot blame the incoming Councils for the high rates, they had a difficult job lowering the debt and trying to get things back in order. We have

many experts out there sitting on the fence thinking they know all of the answers. LACHIE RICK WONGALING BEACH

Innisfail Greek Church and Parish Community Celebrate 85 Years MARIA GIRGENTI THE Dormition of Our Lady Innisfail parish and church celebrated its 85th anniversary with a Divine Liturgy by His Eminence, Archbishop Makarios Primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia at the Dormition of Our Lady Church, Innisfail followed by a luncheon at Brothers Leagues Club. Archbishop Makarios Primate of the Greek Orthodox of Australia addressed the 200 strong congregation with his words of faith and wisdom. Parishioners of St John The Baptist and Saints Theodore’s community also travelled by bus from Cairns and Townsville to be part of the celebrations. Other distinguished guests

present on the day included: Father Dimitri Tsakas, from St George’s Parish, Brisbane, James Raptis, OBE, Honorary Consul of Greece in Queensland and his wife Helen, visiting clergy and presidents from Cairns and Townsville parishes, executive members of Greek Orthodox Community of Innisfail/North Queensland and Greek Philoptohos Ladies. In the early 1900s, many Greeks came to North Queensland in search of work in the sugar cane industry to achieve a better life for themselves and their families, and by the 1930s there was a large Greek community in Innisfail and surrounding districts. During a visit to the region by Metropolitan Timothe-

os, the idea was conceived to construct a church. So, in January 1934, the constitution of the Greek Orthodox Community of Innisfail and North Queensland was written and approved at a meeting

held on May 5, 1934. The original church was constructed at a cost of £1,000 or $2,000 and was completed in 12 months. A young iconographer, Vlase Zanalis from Perth, was engaged to paint the large

icons that still adorn the church. The Dormition of Our Lady Church, Innisfail was consecrated on November 10, 1935 by Metropolitan Timotheos and was the sixth church to be

built in Australia, and only the second in Queensland. Rev Elias Cotiades was the first serving priest until 1937, although many present still fondly remember the Very Rev Isodoros Sideris, the longest serving priest of the Innisfail parish who provided 26 years of faithful service. In August 1969, the old church that served the community for 36 years was demolished and replaced at a cost of $32,500 by a new church which is the one that stands today. It was officially opened on January 25, 1970 by His Eminence Archbishop Ezekiel and the Ayia Treapeaza and Econastasio of the old church were preserved and reinstated in the new church. Even though the parish

has not had a resident priest for some 20 years, with help from the Parish of St George in Brisbane and the Archdiocese, Rev Fr Tsakas has been serving the parish and holding services once a month for close to 20 years. Archbishop Makarios and John Kotzas President of Greek Orthodox community of Innisfail/North Queensland had the honour of cutting the special anniversary cake. In its 85th year, the Dormition of Our Lady Church remains a symbol of the Greek migrants who, in their love for the glorious Theotokos, were determined to maintain their faith and culture in their new home.

Good Crowd Turns up in Tully to Meet the Candidates – Rewarded With Fireworks SEAN DENT The local election for positions of Councilor and Mayor took a major step last Thursday when candidates for Divisions 1 and 2, plus the three mayoral candidates got together to meet a good-sized selection of voters at Butler’s Restaurant in Tully. Two members of the audience, Trudy Tschui and Hilary Watson, will not be voting for any of the council candidates who sat in front of them because they are running in Division 3, but their presence showed they are taking this election seriously with some prep time. One of the candidates onstage, Wayne Kimberley, announced a few days after the event that he is withdrawing from the Division 2 election and will instead be running against Tschui and Watson in Division 3. It makes sense for a couple of reasons. One, there’s less competition in Division 3 with now three candidates versus the five that were in Division 2. Secondly, Kimberley’s division last time around, before the realignment, included Mission Beach. During the evening, Kim-

berley openly bemoaned the fact that he was faced with a difficult choice due to the realignment that “they did not consult him about.” The downside is, he loses his El Arish voting base. Overall, the night went predictably. The candidates answered the questions the way you’d expect them to, avoiding controversy and promises. Because most questions had 13 responders, you often heard candidates literally saying that they agreed with everyone who’d spoken before them. It seemed that most of the questions were answered in the same order, so Ross Sorbello from Division 2 had the chance to speak first, followed by his divisional rivals. Then came the three mayoral candidates, followed by the Division 1 candidates, ending with Barry Barnes, who was at a bit of a disadvantage because most everything had been said by then. One exception to the manner of answering

questions seemed to be that current councilors up for re-election addressed the questions from a more defensive point of view, essentially saying nothing will change because they’ve been doing it right all along.

separate event for Division 1, allowing the evening to focus more on purely Division 1 issues. Another idea may be to consider not having formal questions, but rather to allow candidates to just mingle amongst the voters.

concerns. The open question part of the evening also seemed to provide more lively interaction, likely due to Joe Citizen having the chance to ask his/her own questions. These exchanges seemed more interesting and spon-

Christine Boric, President of Tully Chamber of Commerce, gives instructions prior to questioning of candidates Some felt there were too many candidates on the same stage and maybe there should have been a

I say this because after the night was over, a lot of people went straight to the candidates to press their

taneous because the candidates were not provided with the questions beforehand (giving them a full

six days to prepare their answers). The only question that provided any kind of fireworks came from Matt Dyason, who isn’t even a resident of Divisions 1 or 2. He asked, “Are any of the candidates standing for election or re-election involved in any type of legal action or under any investigation by any state local government authority?” He requested a simple yes or no answer, but got more than he bargained for. Kimberley, who had to answer yes, jumped into the fray immediately accusing his nemesis, Dyason, of hitting them with a loaded question. He said later that he had only that morning received notice of charges being levied against him, although there have been rumours going around that Kimberley and Mayor Kremastos were going to be facing some kind of new legal questions in the weeks leading up to the election on March 28.

While Kimberley was openly lashing out at Dyason, Kremastos appeared to be sweating as he awaited his turn. Everyone else just said no, but when it came to Kremastos, he lashed out, saying, “If you’re going to question my integrity, be really careful.” I’m not sure any candidate should be above having their integrity questioned, but with Kremastos propensity to avoid answering hard questions over the past 12 months, he more than anyone should expect scrutiny. He ran on a campaign of transparency, but has point blank refused to answer questions, sending this reporter to one of his PR executives, Anne Pleash, to get answers. If he doesn’t know that Pleash has refused to respond to upwards of 20 questions to date, he should. He’s the Mayor of this council. Even if the night drew some yawns by the end, it’s a good idea to attend these Meet the Candidate events, and to stand up as several in the audience did, and ask them a question. Then watch their demeanor and grab them before they leave and tell them what is on your mind.

MORE FROM DIVISION 4 CANDIDATES DOMINIC MOBBS Dianne Mauloni is another independent and self-funding candidate for Division 4 for which she has previously stood. In the last election, she nominated for mayor receiving a credible 18% of first preference votes and coming second to eventual Mayor Kremastos in Divisions 4, 5 and 6. She has lived in and around Innisfail her whole life and is currently running ‘Spurwood Springs’ at Mena Creek, where she and her family are graziers and host weddings and private parties. “I still have a ‘fire in my belly’ about local council issues including the high rates and the fact that the state of the local economy continues to be ignored when framing budgets. I am determined, if elected, to leave no stone unturned to grow the region’s rate base and have rates set at a fair and equitable level,” Mauloni told CCIN. When asked about the main issues facing the Cassowary Coast, other than rate levels, Mauloni replied with a list too long

to publish, that included “unsealed roads, too much reliance on primary producers for rates revenue, the high ratio of staff, and costings that compare unfavourably with similar areas such as Hinchinbrook and Tablelands, plus likely difficulties should Panama TR4 gain a stronghold.” To address these issues Mauloni suggested two approaches…First drop the 15% discount while simultaneously reducing the general rate in the dollar by 15%. She believes, “This would at least ‘look good’ from a real estate perspective.” Second, that a moratorium be placed on rates for twelve months, giving the new incoming council enough time to really scrutinize each department’s budgets. “Why can’t council for once consider the economy of the region and put a hold on rates for 12 months and adjust their budgets down where possible, particularly as our Council is debt free?” she posed to CCIN. As for the Innisfail Master Plan, Mauloni sees this as just a, “Grand plan including a marina

and it’s not the right time for it when the riverbed is not yet dredged as promised. Council cannot be ‘everything for everyone’. If rate dollars cannot provide a good road network, reliable water supply etc. it should only be considering future projects for beautification on the back of grants with no use at all of ratepayer funds.” Dianne’s final message was, “Get the basics in order first”. Bonny Bauer is also campaigning as an independent, self-funding candidate for Division 4. She told CCIN that she is standing because, “given the widespread secrecy of this Council her conscience demands it.” Bauer was schooled at Tully and Feluga, and in later life studied counselling, environmental management, trauma therapy for children, and social ecology. Bauer has always been outspoken and active in the community. She has previously stood for council in the Cardwell Shire, but is probably best known for her coordination of the ef-

forts for appropriate compensation when Powerlink Queensland proposed a new high voltage power line from Tully to Innisfail in 1999. For five years she was ‘Coordinator of Power to the People Action Group’, representing over 280 landowners in the Johnstone and Cardwell Shires. Bauer told CCIN “I have extensive experience dealing with Federal, State and Local Government representatives. I know how to work across all three tiers of government for the best community outcomes, and that is a rare skill.” “Affordability, liveability, trustability. These are the main issues facing the Cassowary Coast Region,” she told CCIN indicating that her campaign theme was “Back to Basics”. Bauer added, “A raft of assets previous councils protected have been sold off, workforce downgraded and that means no pays going into shops and fewer families in schools, yet outside contractors abound. Parks and Gardens are hamstrung and roadside

slashing is now months apart and only when grass is thigh high.” “I am concerned about the non-flexible rating of lands where an owner has to pay the highest rate category on vast acres of property sections they legally cannot and do not use. The scheduling of sealing of dirt roads is a hot topic when you see nearly half a million wiped off a developer at Mission Beach and yet not a shovel full of blue metal thrown in a pothole. What sort of priority is this?” Bauer asked. As for the Innisfail Master Plan, Bauer expressed some scepticism and said she would certainly be asking questions about it. In conclusion, Bauer told CCIN that the performance to date of this Council was questionable, “Doing something well also means doing something right morally, cost-worthy and in the best interests of the community. We have seen these aspects totally overlooked during the term of this current Council.”

Candidate Question:When Will Boil Water Alerts Stop? SEAN DENT READERS submitted questions to be posed to candidates, and we are publishing the results from those candidates who chose to respond. This week the question we’re covering relates to boil water alerts. This is a difficult one because there are facts in play that are not general knowledge. The question was: I would like to know when the Tully water supply will be improved so that we do not have to boil our water for days after a shower of rain. They

should also be able to give us a timeline as to when it will be fixed, and push to have the timeline brought forward until it is done. The first fact is that the Queensland government decided at some point to force local government to adhere to strict turbidity standards that were not previously in place. Many people are already aware that our local water supply has been largely no worse in terms of turbidity than previous years when there were fewer boil water alerts and everyone was fine. A lot of people in the re-

gion ignore the boil water alerts because they know this. The second fact is that even after the Bulgun Creek reservoir is up and running, the amount of water we use in the area is so high that after a couple of days, there will need to be another boil water notice if it hasn’t rained during those two days. My sources tell me that inside the council, there is disagreement about whether to claim boil water alerts will stop completely because the fact is, they won’t stop completely. That said, below are

the best answers we received to this question. Mark Nolan: Tully urgently requires a “water treatment plant” similar to Innisfail. Boiled water alerts will continue, following heavy rainfall, as drawing Tully water from Boulder Creek. Installing more storage capacity is not going to fix the boiled water issue alone - ONLY a water treatment plant will deliver on this urgent need & a newly elected council could move this vital project forward in the future asset management planning. Important to remember that Innisfail water treatment plant

received 80% subsidy from state govt & that’s what is required for Tully NOW. Bryce Macdonald: Water is one of most valuable assets of which the Cassowary Coast has available . I will be working towards minimising the boil water notices and minimising water restrictions as a priority. I will also work closely with the State Government to help speed up the process, as all of our water resources come out of National Parks. Our water resources should also be used as a marketing strategy for our area to at-

tract population growth. Trudy Tschui: The State Government changed the requirements for turbidity and water quality, thus causing the increase in the boiled water notices for the public. If elected I will have a greater understanding and access to the relevant information, to better answer this question. Wayne Kimberley: I have raised the issue personally with Minister Steven Miles and his senior health advisor that forcing council to alert residents to boil water until an independent result is received has cre-

ated a negative message to residents and tourists when the water quality has not changed, only the monitoring timeline has. The Minister’s response was along the lines of ‘it is what it is, and you need to comply.’ Gabi Plumm: Interestingly, although Cardwell has (mostly) good water quality, we are still directed to boil our water after a heavy downpour even though many think it is unnecessary.

DIVISION 3 CANDIDATES MEETING KIMBERLEY SWITCHES DIVISION DOMINIC MOBBS THE Mission Beach Community Association

(MBCA) held its traditional ‘Hear from the Candidates’ meeting for mayoral and Division 3 councillor

candidates at the Mission Beach Resort on Tuesday evening. It was well attended with about 85

persons coming to listen to candidates pitching for their votes. These included the three standing for may-

Division 3 candidates at the MBCA meeting. Trudy Tschui; Hilary Watson; Cr Wayne Kimberley.

or; incumbent Mayor John Kremastos; Cr Mark Nolan and previous deputy mayor, Bryce Macdonald.

The surprise of the night was the appearance of current Division 3 Cr. Wayne Kimberly. He had

previously indicated his intention to stand for Division 2 (Tully/El Arish) given the 2019 boundary changes had moved El Arish, where he lives and has his business, from Division 3 to Division 2. Cr. Kimberley had actually attended the Tully Chamber of Commerce candidates meeting the previous week. The gathering was fairly uncontroversial with no candidates making any contentious promises and all provided measured responses to the questions posed. Perhaps the most notable comments were made by Cr. Kimberley who indicated that he was “tired of all this talk about transparency”, and that “there was now more transparency than the past”. CCIN in coming weeks will publish a special report on this Council’s record of transparency and readers will be able to judge for themselves the accuracy of Cr. Kimberley’s comments on this topic.

RURAL REPORT

Mandubarra Indigenous Rangers Join Forces with CCRC – Cowley Beach Cleaned up for Hatchlings SEAN DENT Last Sunday, about 60 people turned up at Cowley Beach to do a bit of a clean-up for the turtle hatchlings under the leadership of the Mandubarra Indigenous Rangers. The number was far more than they expected. A representative said they normally expect about 10 volunteers. A local, named John, spoke to us beforehand. Apparently, the locals feel a bit underappreciated and even outright attacked regarding the maintenance of Cowley Beach even though they go to great lengths to keep it clean. He took me for a walk along the beach about a kilometre up and down. Along the way, we found just two pieces of debris. He said,

“This is our beach, and we keep it clean.” He also pointed to tyre tracks from four-wheelers that many locals use to drive along the beach, and which non-locals claim destroy the habitat of the turtles, but demonstrated how the tracks barely make an indentation in the sand compared to human footprints. He took me to a nesting area that seemed totally undisturbed and intact. He then showed me another so-called nesting area that certain critics have claimed is proof that the locals don’t respect the environment. In fact, it wasn’t a nesting area at all. A lady nearby told the real story. “There was a family here and they were digging holes and making sandcastles. The dad even took pictures of the kids

playing there. There was no nest there at all.” John told us that it is extremely difficult for the uninitiated to recognise a nest, but the locals are good at it, and they mark them by registering their GPS positioning, and check it from time to time. He is certain that there have been no hatchlings to date. He suspected that a three-metre high tide came in recently, which destroyed the nest. One of the representatives of Mandubarra Indigenous Rangers, Carmen, said that the locals do a pretty good job with big things like cans and bottle, but the task before them on Sunday was to find and retrieve photodegraded pieces of plastic, which are small and difficult to detect. She showed me a few pieces in the sand, and

it does seem to take a bit of expertise to find them, partly because they are so small and partly because it can be difficult to tell the difference between rubbish and a piece of naturally occurring pieces of shell. Mandubarra Indigenous Rangers provide the basics like collection bas, gloves, sunblock, and water, and delivered a short instruction session on what to look for and what to avoid: sharpies, for instance. Then the team of volunteers spread out and combed the beach, diligently cleaning up so the turtle hatchlings will be safe. The event was hosted by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council and attended by Cr Jeff Baines.

Yellowing Cane If you’re driving around the district at the moment, chances are you will see some cane blocks starting to go a bit yellow, especially from the base of the plant. Yellowing in cane in Tully can be caused by several factors. In some cases it can be caused simply by the old cane leaves dying off after the dry end to 2019. This is evident when the lower leaves of the cane crop go yellow and are quickly replaced by fresh new growth. Later on, around late April we can also get a leaf disease known as “Yellow

spot” which can cause some yellowing before the leaves go red then die off. This is a seasonal disease, which doesn’t always occur; it is favoured by a long wet season. During winter we can also get yellow bands running across leaves in the canopy; the banding occurs due to the overnight presence (previous days) of cool water in the spindle of the shoot. This stops the leaf developing properly leading to yellow patches (rather than normal green leaf tissue). So it is not a disease at all, just the impact of cool nights and again it depends on the

weather. However the other cause of yellowing in cane can be Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) which first appeared in the Qld sugar industry in 2012; there have been few suspected cases in Tully since that time. SRA have dedicated a lot of resources and energy into finding out just what causes YCS and how to manage it in cane crops. Typical YCS leads to leaf yellowing that does not start from the leaf tips (it affects the whole leaf at once) with the yellow leaves often only present in the middle of the can-

opy. In severe cases, the whole canopy can largely remain yellow. Symptoms come and go with environmental conditions; badly affected crops can suddenly turn green in response to ideal weather conditions. In the worst cases, the canopy remains yellow right through the growing season leading to very significant yield losses. Another local observation is that it seems to follow a prolonged dry period, such as the dry period we had last November. Over the past week in particular there have been some suspected cases in Tully. We don’t know just how

much YCS can impact yield here because there has been very little of it in the past, and what we have had has had a variation in crop response. As an industry we are keeping a close eye on it and one of the options growers will have is to have us test the cane suspected of having YCS for CCS levels using the mobile mill prior to harvest. We did this in a few cases that occurred in 2013 and there was no noticeable difference in CCS. Any growers who are concerned can call TSL on 0400 586 968 or TCPSL on 0429 022 702

Government Milking Aussie farmers Dry for Their Chinese Masters KAP LEADER, Robbie Katter said it’s quite clear major businesses and government are closely aligned with China after the ACCC cleared the way for China Mengniu Dairy to takeover Lion’s dairy and drinks portfolio.

“Unlike Australia, China’s government looks after the Chinese people first and foremost,” he said. “It’s no secret that they have an insatiable appetite for our goods and industry, and when it comes to their interests compared to ours,

of course we will lose. “Governments have proven time and again that they are less than willing to correct that imbalance.” The State Member for Traeger said it was a bad outcome for the nation’s dairy farmers. “While for-

eign investment is nothing new to the dairy industry, it still remains a characteristic of the government culture in Australia,” he said. Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter said he was sick of the blood suck-

ing Sydney suits selling their country out. “They get their 30 pieces of sliver for selling their country but I am certain they will rot in Hell,” Mr Katter said. “The government is a joke. It’s not a government. It doesn’t bear any

resemblance to a government. “They are not reflecting the will of the people. The only will Australia’s governments reflect is the one they see in the mirror.” Mr (Bob) Katter said he was taking his fight

against the foreign takeover of Australia to the Parliament; just last week he introduced the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Amendment (Strategic Assets) Bill 2020.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Good Counsel Primary School Induct Leadership Team MARIA GIRGENTI OVER 300 students have started the school year in earnest at Good Counsel Primary, including 44 new Preps who began their education journey. GCPS has seen healthy enrolment numbers in 2020 with 27 new students and 223 new families joining the school community. New students from Year 1 to 6 have come from local areas, interstate and Queensland, with some returning to GCPS after a stint away. Beth Haley, who has previously worked locally was welcomed to the Learning Support team as the EAL/D (English As A Second Language) Dialect teacher. At the start of the school year, there has been much excitement as major construction works

of the new building extension nears completion. The impressive three storey building encompasses a state-of-the-art Science and Technology Learning Centre, a spacious new senior classroom, extended Prep teaching space and covered area, and will be ready for occupancy at the end of this term. GCPS offers students an excellent academic education in all key learning areas, and the key goals in 2020 include improving Mathematics, Science and Writing standards. Student leaders, sports house captains and members of Student Council were inducted at the opening school Mass held recently at Mother of Good Counsel Catholic Church. The Mass was attended by many parents, grandparents, carers, friends and community members who joined in the celebration.

During the ceremony, Preps and new students were welcomed and Year 6 Student Leaders received their badges after they were blessed by Parish Priest, Fr Kerry Crowley and made their pledge. Years 1 - 3 were given a special blessing by Fr Crowley while students in Years 4 - 6 either received a blessing or the Eucharist with Preps being led by their Year 6 buddies for a special blessing. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school captains are Meg Hurney and Cameron Barnes and sports house captains are: Darnel Stagg and Charlotte Cook (Clancy); Leo Briggs and Heleana Kuhn (MacKillop); Tyrell Forbes and Kyra Locastro (Marcellin) and Callista Masina and Ned Negri (Polding). Juwel Joy Tobin, Ryan Maccarone, Ainsley

Cavallaro, Veral Tiwari, Grace Wone and Hannah Dryden are members of the Student Council.

While there are limited enrolments for 2020, with many classes at capacity, enquires for 2021 school

year are welcomed. Further information on GCPS can be found by contacting 4063 0600, via

the website www.gcps. qld.edu.au or visit Good Counsel Primary School Facebook page.

Innisfail Leps Senior Women Prepare for New Rugby League Tackle Competition MARIA GIRGENTI INNISFAIL Leprechauns senior ladies have hit their straps at preseason training in preparation for the inaugural Cairns District Rugby League Open Women’s tackle competition. Any ladies aged 17 - 40 wanting to give rugby league a try can come to training at Callendar Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6.00pm, with a focus on game drills, fun, fitness and endurance. Eight ladies have been putting in the hard yards training alongside the Innisfail Leprechauns senior men’s squad for four weeks, before splitting up

and training for the past few weeks alongside the Reserve Grade team. There are a number of familiar faces who were part of Innisfail Leps team to win the inaugural Cairns District Rugby League women’s touch competition in 2019. Lisa Sue San said the Leps seniors have been great with encouraging the girls to keep moving and providing positive feedback which is promoting a fantastic club culture carried on from last year. “Barriers are being broken down as ladies are part of the Innisfail Leprechauns team and wider rugby league family. Rugby league is

a great game for meeting new people, team building and improving general fitness.” Alex Ambrum, who played in the first Pat Bailey Cup in 2013 brings with her a wealth of playing experience and maturity, said there is no bigger adrenaline rush than playing at the same level as the men and being part of rugby league – the greatest game of all. Senior women haven’t taken to the footy field since 2011, and the tackle format is set to make an exciting comeback this season. Teams will be 13 per side, and pretty much every club is working on build-

ing numbers so they can field a team. It is expected the tackle competition will kick off in with CDRL in March and run for a number of weeks, then representative games, tackle grand final in June followed by league tag to end the season. This new division provides a great opportunity for women, especially juniors aged 17+ in the region and is creating pathways for talented women in the region to take their footy to a higher level, especially now with the introduction of Cowboys Women’s Academy. A number of girls took part in the 9-a-side High

Schools Challenge for girls and boys held recently at Callendar Park, while a number of local girls will combine with Cairns to play Western Lions in the curtain raiser game before the trial match between Innisfail Leprechauns v Western Lions at Callendar Park on March 14. Any girls who may be interested can come to training and those wanting to play can speak to assistant league tag coach, Lisa Sue San, team manager Melissa Clubb or contact Lisa on 0419 772 756

Innisfail Leps senior ladies are hoping more ladies will join the team which will take part in the new Cairns District Rugby League Open Women’s tackle competition due to kick off later this month

Tigers News with Shane Muriata With the Tully District Sports Carnival putting on the greatest show on earth last Friday with a smorgasbord of Rugby League and Netball, let’s start by giving some huge raps to the people who made it possible and enjoyable. First off the rank, the parents. It never seems to amaze me that you continue to keep turning up and encouraging your child to play active sport at a time when people are complaining over child obesity and bullying. People ask me, “Why do you keep coming back to coach football?” Well, I will give you the answer right now on behalf of all the legends who played a part in Friday’s action. We do it because your children make it worthwhile and you the parents make it possible. We don’t care how talented they are, if they are half keen and want to give it a try, throw them a bib or a jersey and we will find a spot for them. The most satisfying part of the day as a coach is seeing the kids

who could not pass, catch or play a slightly watered down version of the game walk off the field with the biggest smile and hug the parent who knows they have had a good day. Every now and then, a talented player comes along who is on a superior level to most students, but the ones I deal with are the most humble students ever, and that’s because the parents don’t care to much about fanfare or glory, they just want the child to smile when it’s home time. Thank you parents. Next on the list are the staff and teachers of the surrounding school cluster, form Cardwell, Murray River Upper State, right up to Silkwood and down to Gordon Robertson country that is Mission Beach, thank you. Without your dedication and patience, we would not have the standard and behaviour level that we can count on every year to pull off a great carnival. And last but not least, Sandra legend Thomas and Stuart Master Coach

Russell. You guys were awesome and have tightened the shackles of being the convener for the next decade at least such was your ability. One of the hottest topics in all of sports at all junior level is a subject called ‘Trophy Parents”. So what is this so called trophy parents I hear you say? Whether we like it or not, everyone single one of us in our lifetime have come across at least one TP. They are in every sport, or anything to do with competing and if there is a first place ribbon up for grabs, you can guarantee that they will show their faces. Are they good for us? Yes and no, I say. The worst example I have seen of it was a parent many years ago yelling at his kid, the opposition and the ref about everything that was happening in the game, then when the game was over, took his kid aside and tore shreds off him like he lost an Olympic medal. What happened to that kid, well, as soon as he hit high school, he never played a sport ever again. Look, there’s a border you have to set up for yourself so not to cross it, so your child can see a person who encourages them, regardless of the talent you have. I have seen literally

hundreds of students get so much put on them at an age where making friends and getting a part time job should be the goal, not lifting trophies. The first questions I ask when I see a talented sportsperson is always this “Is he coachable and will the parent let him play?” I want the kids coming to me wanting to play, not because their mum or dad thinks they are future Hall of Famers. If you keep trying to relive your glory through your child, then I’m afraid that path has a sad ending with no more roads to it. One of my favourite parent who encourages the hell out of her children is Katie Ann Flegler. She may appear to be harsh, but her players are testament to her ability to coach and reach higher honours. Kids who have been under her guidance all walk away with an extra string in their bow. So come this weekend parents, encourage you child, scream your lungs out and maybe even give them a hug when they come off, because I guarantee you, getting a nod of approval with a smile from you has more rewards than a medal. Don’t forget this weekend the Tully Tigers will have their season launch at the Tigers Leagues Club

where jerseys will be auctioned off. Every year our great club receive some generous donation, and it is that kind of love that keeps our team going. Make sure to get down to the Leagues Club this Friday night for an action packed evening of laughter and jokes, even if it’s at the expense of the MC

of the night. This Saturday night will see head coach Paul Ketchell’s first test with his troops against a Townsville side when we line up for our first trial of the year at the Tully Showground. The boys have been training hard, and this game will see where we are at in terms of progress.

CARDWELL GOLF Ladies played on Thursday, but the challenging conditions made scoring well difficult. Leading the way and greedily also taking the N.T.P. and approach shots was Jackie Olditch. Thursday’s 12-hole Sporters’ winner was Dean Beech (25), who was back for a visit, followed by Phil Pentecost (23), and Phil Wyatt (22) on a countback. The rundown

was John Hoare (22), Len White (21) and Keith Hoare (20). N.T.P.s were Phil Pentecost, who took two, and Ian Burchell. Saturday’s Stableford was interrupted by a bit of a wild storm, the rain probably wouldn’t have stopped play, but the lightning definitely did. After some mathematical calculations to work out averages of the scores for completed holes, Hugh

Henry was declared the winner with Tony Sorohan and Ian Ingram tied for second followed by Kev Martin and Mick Hurcum. N.T.P.s were Anne Jodrell, who also got close enough to take the Members’ Jackpot, Mandy Carucci, Rowly Mott and Kevin Tombs, who took Smithy’s N.T.P. Thursday, Ladies play a Stableford (register

at 9.00am), followed by Sporters, register by 12.45pm. Saturday is the March Monthly Medal. Register by 10.30am. The March Ambrose sponsored by Milini’s Panel and Paint, Cardwell Beachcomber and Devietti Holden. Ingham is on Sunday 15th March. See the cardwellgolfclub.com website or Facebook page for details.

Beautiful conditions greeted players last Saturday at the Tully Country Club where 30 members played a single stableford event for prizes donated by Bryce and Sally Henry. Winning the day with a score of 36 points was Mick Baillie who won on a countback from Johnno Dean and Mike Ellicott, who both also came in with 36 points. Taking out fourth place on the day

was John Pender, only one shot back with 35 points. This Saturday, members will play off for the March Monthly Medal, and a reminder to players that they can score double points towards the golfer of the year award this weekend. Registrations start at 11.00am with an 11.30m tee off. Good Golfing.

GONE FISHING REPORT Again I haven’t heard of anyone managing to travel out to the main reefs, however conditions have not been that bad and the trout should be getting hungry. Closer in around the islands the fishing was tough with boats reporting modest catches of Grass Sweet Lip, Nannygai and some nice Fingermark. The small run in the tide made fishing tough for most boats, however as the tides build this week the fishing will improve. So, by the time the paper comes out

anglers will have experienced much improved fishing. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, this time of year, we have very big tides around the new and full moon. So, we only have a few days of ideal tides. Last weekend tides suited fishing the deep holes in the Hinchinbrook Channel for Fingermark. However, we certainly could have done with a little more run. The tides also affected the quality of the fishing in the estuaries over the weekend. However, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week the fishing was phenomenal with plenty of Barra and Mangrove Jacks caught both in the estuaries, but in particular the Hinchin-

brook Channel and Missionary Bay. Derek my manager had an absolute blinder, catching Barra to 82cm and a string of Jacks over 40cm. Local guide, Dave Bradley and his son Jake managed some nice barra and Dave caught a nice triple tail, a reasonably rare catch. The mud crabs have also been around in reasonable numbers especially in the Hinchinbrook area. However, I am sure they are praying for more rain to get the crabs out of their holes and moving. I have been hearing of some very big Barra being caught by live baiting in the lower fresh water reaches of the Tully and Murray rivers. Reports are that most of the fish have been large, hopefully they

will soon experience a run of 60 to 80cm fish: they are better eating and not as valuable as a breeder. There has also been plenty of Sooty Grunter, Tarpon and the odd Jungle Perch caught in the middle and high reaches of the Tully river. Reports have come through of some good Barra being caught in Tinaroo dam. The fishing should improve as we get closer to the full moon on Tuesday. At the time of writing, very early in the week, the forecast is for light winds for this coming weekend. The tides are huge, and boats will have to try to keep out of the worst of the current. Anglers that fish for grunter like these tides for fishing up on the flats

in the Hinchinbrook area. There has also been plenty of reports of Fingermark being caught up on the flats especially along the Cardwell foreshore. One regular mentioned looking for rubble and grass beds. Of course, a boat is an advantage but not a necessity. There have been plenty of grunter and Fingermark caught via land based fishing in the Cardwell region, especially on these big tides. Another option is fishing the upper tidal reaches of the coastal rivers: the Barra push right up into the fresh with the big tides. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

Cardwell parkrun in its Third Year Every Saturday morning between 7am and 8am, the Cardwell foreshore path becomes a 5km fitness track for runners and walkers from this region, Australia and beyond! parkrun is a worldwide phenomenon that is held every Saturday morning in hundreds of towns and cities around the world. Because of the heat, the Queensland start time is always 7am. It is a free, fun, timed 5km run or walk, monitored each week by a team of orange-clad volunteers. People of all ages and fitness levels are welcome. At Cardwell, our youngest parkrunner was 4 years old and our eldest regular is in his 80’s. You only need to register online once at www.parkrun. com.au and bring your printed barcode with you

on the day. We all meet at the Cardwell jetty at 6.50am for a pre-run brief, welcome to visitors, and explanation of the course and the rules. Families and dogs are encouraged, however children under 11 years of age must stay with their designated adult, and dogs on a short leash. As you cross the finish line, having completed the 5km at your own speed, you will be handed a numbered token which you hand to a volunteer scanner with your barcode. That day, you will receive an email advising you of your time, whether it is a new personal best for you, and where you fit compared to other parkrunners in your age range worldwide! There is always a volunteer ‘Tailwalker’ whose role is to finish last.

As the Cardwell parkrun Event Director, I first witnessed parkrun in the Brisbane bayside suburb of Sandgate. The bringing together of people of all ages for the common purpose of improving their fitness in a friendly, healthy environment convinced me that “this would be just perfect for Cardwell”. The Cassowary Coast Council have been very supportive of our initiative, giving us permission to use the pathway each Saturday morning; funding & erecting signage for us, and each week, keeping the track as debris-free as possible. Cardwell parkrun is currently the only one between Cairns and Townsville, and we get many regulars from Ingham, Mission Beach & Tully. parkrun “Tourists”

now target Cardwell on their travels, often staying overnight Friday, and joining us for breakfast or coffee at a local café after the parkrun. On Saturday 14 March, Cardwell parkrun will be celebrating our 2nd birthday! Turning two in 2020, our dress -up them is ‘TuTu’, as in the ballerina dress – not compulsory, but it adds some fun to the morning, AND there will be cupcakes afterwards…… Our inaugural parkrun had 80 participants, the first birthday 78, so we are hoping for 100 for our 2nd birthday! We encourage you and your friends and family to join us Janet Arnold Cardwell parkrun Event Director 0415 261 340 All ages are welcome at Cardwell parkrun
