Giving Covid the Boot(hill) The Live at the Grounds - Mega Tribute Show drive-in concert was a welcome return to live music featuring Boothill Express. A FEW months of hibernation as the music scene ground to a halt this year failed to dampen the spirits of Boothill Express, a modern country cover band in the local music scene. Despite the temporary death of live music across Australia this year, the band was excited to reconnect for Live at the Grounds - Mega Tribute Show hosted by the Burdekin Theatre, a drive-in concert and the first of its kind in Ayr. The concert featured cover bands of music legends Queen, Fleetwood Mac and Creedence Clearwater Revival, with attendees socially distancing in their cars, facing the stage. Boothill Express’ resident drummer and Ayr local Nick Gray, has been

playing the drums since he was ten years old. He says that the Live at the Grounds drive-in concert was the perfect way to reenter the music scene after the cancellation of several gigs the band were set to play this year. Including the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival in the Burdekin and the Charters Towers Country Music Festival. “It was just great to play in front of a live audience again; it was a little bit different not having the crowd right at the stage, but it was a really good experience,” he says. “All the other bands, they were professional guys from down South and the standard of music was awesome. It was an excellent

UPDATE

Records reveal Mr Webber logged the first of three phone calls at 12.24am on October 1, with a call for help to assist Ms Locke with her injuries. Emergency services were still not on the scene by 1am, and at that point, it was too late for all involved. In a future edition, we will report the findings of the inquest once released.

GEORGE CHRISTENSEN MP and the LNP’s plan to rebuild our economy and create jobs

Supporting Queensland Jobs Under our COVID-19 response the Morrison Government has provided $10.7 billion in JobKeeper payments saving thousands of Queensland jobs. The Australian economy is now fighting back. Our plan to grow the economy and create jobs includes: The JobMaker Hiring Credit that will provide an incentive of up to $200 a week for employers to hire new workers aged 16-35; supporting around 450,000 jobs for young people. Establishing the $1 billion JobTrainer fund to create free and low-cost training places for school leavers and job seekers. 100,000 new apprenticeships and traineeships, with a 50 per cent wage subsidy for businesses who employ them.

Lower Taxes for Households and Businesses Queenslanders will have more of their own money to spend on what matters to them, generating billions of dollars of economic activity and creating new jobs. Putting more money into the pockets of Australian households, with a tax cut backdated to 1 July 2020 benefitting 2.3 million Queenslanders. Lower and middle income earners will this year receive tax relief of up to $2,745 for singles, and up to $5,490 for dual income families compared with 2017-18. Thousands of Queensland businesses will be eligible for business tax incentives, helping 99% of businesses to immediately deduct the full cost of eligible assets.

Supporting Regional Recovery Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program – $1,479,882 direct to Burdekin Shire Council for roads, bridges and community infrastructure. Bruce Highway Upgrade Strategy – $20 million to determine four-laning the Bruce Highway strategy. Priority Road and Rail Projects – $64.7 million for the Burdekin Bridge rehabilitation project.

Bite bandages a summer essential First Aid item could save your life Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au WITH Summer fast approaching, there are renewed calls for residents to prepare for wildlife on the move.

Farmers, growers and industrial workers are urged to get prepared, by investing in bandages and first aid supplies and placed in kits and work vehicles. Local farmer Evan Chapman recently had an encounter while going about his everyday job, inspecting a rockmelon plantation at Rocky Ponds. On a windy day, he was unaware that he had stepped on or very near a suspected large brown snake until the bite had struck. Biting three times, he felt a sharp pain to see the snake latching on. Before worse damage, he was, fortunately, able to move away in time. “I was lucky because we

It was impossible to stay still for more than a minute, that’s when we needed antivenom,” Mr Chapman said. “The staff in the hospital were unfaultable. They were on the phone to a toxin specialist, helping us through the process. Everything they did put me in the best care I could have been.” Evan was transferred to Townsville, as is usual with snake bites. “The doctor came with me to monitor the situation, and in case it was needed, had spare antivenom, but luckily it wasn’t.

Meet the Candidates Dale Last

LNP Liberal National Party

Marina Trajkovich marina.trajkovich@burdekinlocal.com.au

AS part of our Meet the Candidates series in the lead up to the upcoming State Election, we spoke to Dale Last of the Liberal National Party about his plans for the Burdekin electorate. Can you tell me a bit about your professional and personal background? I was born and educated in Bundaberg before joining the Queensland Police Force. After 25 years of serving in stations throughout regional Queensland, I was appointed to the role of Officer in Charge of the Townsville Police Station. After leaving the Police Service, I was elected to Townsville City Council, where I served as a Councillor and Deputy Mayor until 2012. Between being a Councillor and standing for the state seat of Burdekin in 2015, I worked with Emergency Management Queensland, worked in the employment services sector and also operated my own small business. Away from work, my main focus is my two young children and my wife. Because I spend such a lot of time away from home, spending time with them is a priority for me when I have the opportunity. What do you hope to bring to this year’s election and what makes you

stand out from other candidates? Since the redistribution in 2017, the Burdekin electorate has grown geographically. It is a massive undertaking to travel the length and breadth of the electorate and make yourself available to listen to people face to face when they need a hand or have an idea. Since the last election, I have averaged more than 10,000kms of travel each month. In fact, my family often joke that I live in my car and visit my home. What I bring to the election is a proven track record of covering the entire electorate throughout the term of parliament, not just for a few weeks. As the Shadow Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Water, I also bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding of both the Agricultural and Resource Industries, which are such an essential part of this electorate. What have you been up to in preparation for the election, and what policies are set to benefit people in the Burdekin? My preparation for the election has been exactly the same as the last five years; getting out in the electorate, working and listening to people. The LNP’s plan for the Burdekin

Council update Extended rates due date on the horizon Burdekin residents are being reminded that the extended due date for payment of 2020/21 rates and charges is approaching, with rates payments due on Monday, 26 October 2020. Burdekin Shire Council extended the due date in response to the economic impact of COVID-19 on the community. Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said the extension provided residents with extra time to pay, easing financial pressure. “While residents have appreciated the extended deadline for rates and charges to be paid this financial year,

the change to routine may mean rates may have fallen off people’s radar, with notices distributed in early August and usually due in early September,” Cr McLaughlin said. “I want to remind residents that the due date for rates is Monday 26 October, and very importantly anyone experiencing difficulty paying needs to contact Council as soon as possible to discuss a payment plan.” Burdekin Shire Council 2020/21 rates notices are due on Monday 26 October, and can be paid in a number of contactless ways. For more information, visit burdekin.qld. gov.au or call 4783 9800.

electorate is about creating and supporting jobs and getting Queensland working again. Our small businesses and households deserve a better deal than they have now and that’s why bringing down the cost of electricity is a major win for regional Queensland. I often say that the Burdekin electorate is the powerhouse of the Queensland economy and, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it definitely has been. The LNP is focussed on a better deal for primary producers and the resources sector because, when those industries flourish, our communities flourish. In the western part of the electorate, especially, health care is a major issue. It took years of knocking on doors to get a second doctor for Collinsville, but my fight for more doctors in places like Clermont will continue. Mental health services and dialysis are just two of those services that need a boost, and the LNP is 100% committed to doing something about it. What can we expect from you if you are elected and what issues, in particular, are you hoping to address? If re-elected, people can expect to see me hit the ground running and continuing to fight for those projects and services that matter.

Changed traffic conditions as Council restores Queen Street drainage lids A minor loss of carparks will occur along Queen Street, Ayr next week as some ageing drainage lids are replaced by Burdekin Shire Council from 12-16 October 2020. The works will be undertaken following asset management camera surveillance identifying several drainage lids showed signs of deterioration, with some being up to 30 years old. Several car parks along Queen Street will be barricaded for the duration of the work, however Council will try to minimise disruptions to pedestrians, traffic and businesses. Replacement of lids prior to further deterioration or breakage is safer and more cost-effective, and is possible thanks to asset management camera surveillance identifying the deterioration early. Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

The LNP will be visionary. We have thrown our support behind SunRice to provide farmers with the option to diversify and, just down the road at Bowen; we will build a rocket launch facility. That project means Australian built satellites can be built and launched from Australia, not America. It will provide an opportunity for our current students to consider a career that was previously out of reach for them. People often say that Queensland, and regional Queensland especially, doesn’t innovate and doesn’t aim high enough anymore. The LNP’s vision is to supercharge the regions and give regional Queensland the opportunity to return to its rightful place as the powerhouse of the Queensland economy. Despite being a part of the opposition, I have delivered major projects for the entire electorate and, if I am part of an LNP government, I will continue to do the same.

Why should people vote for you? Do you have anything else you would like to add about yourself or your party? Since 2015 I have used the slogan “Working for You”. To me, that is exactly what a member of parliament does. It shouldn’t matter whether you live at Mount Coolon or Giru, your local member of parliament should be available to help. People know that when it comes to the big fights, I am there to fight for them. If re-elected, I will keep fighting for our primary producers because, frankly, the treatment they have received from the current government is treacherous. I’m proud to have led the farmer’s rally when parliament sat in Townsville as well as the rally against the Vegetation Management Laws. I have always considered it an honour and a privilege to represent the Burdekin Electorate and my track record over the past five years proves that I can and will deliver for this electorate.

Water savings hit sweet spot IT’S one of Australia’s biggest and thirstiest crops, lapping up millions of litres of water every year. But sugarcane growers in the Burdekin region could soon be increasing their productivity and profitability thanks to researchers from the University of Southern Queensland. After a bittersweet start to the year – with farmers batting drought and heavy rain – irrigation experts are teaming up with locals to help produce bigger yields. It’s part of the Australian Government’s Smarter Irrigation for Profit (Phase 2) project, tackling some of Australia’s water issues. University of Southern Queensland project lead Michael Scobie is encouraging anyone in the sugar industry looking to refine their skills to

get involved. He’s working with a range of experts to develop the skills and capacity of local extension and service providers which will ultimately help farmers produce more cane. “As crushing season nears nearing its end, now is the perfect time for people to upskill,” Mr Scobie said. “From consultants to extension officers, individuals work one-on-one with our researchers to develop their skills. “Whether it’s assessing pumps and irrigation systems, developing new technologies or implementing better strategies to reduce water loss, it’ll mean delivering bigger profits for sugarcane growers.” “The sugar industry is facing some difficult problems at the moment,” Mr Scobie said.

“Challenging weather conditions coupled with low sugar prices across the world has the potential to reduce productivity and profitability. “Improving irrigation and water management on the farm, is one key approach to making sure that the industry remains vibrant and viable.” There are around 3,000 canegrowers in Queensland with the industry estimated to be worth more than $2 billion dollars. It’s hoped the new research partnership will deliver a sweeter outlook to the future of sugar To find out more about the Smarter Irrigation for Profit (Phase 2), visit https://www. crdc.com.au/smarter-irrigationphase-2.

The Conversation

burdekinlocal.com.au

Had Ingrid West not pushed for a lumpectomy after an initial misdiagnosis from her doctor, her situation could have been very different. What followed was a battle with breast cancer and chemotherapy she wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Marina Trajkovich marina.trajkovich@burdekinlocal.com.au

WHEN Ingrid West from Home Hill had the rice-sized lump in her breast checked in 2011, her doctor convinced her there was no need to worry. When she returned two years later voicing similar concerns, she insisted upon a lumpectomy. “I went in to see the nurse, and she took me by the hand, and she’s patting my hand. She said, ‘Oh love, you’ve got to see the doctor about this one.’” “You can’t even describe how everything just... your gut sinks,” she says. Although the doctor had initially suspected the lump in Ingrid’s breast to be a case of fibroid edema or hardened breast tissue, the lumpectomy revealed a diagnosis of stage 2 lobular carcinoma. “The whole process, when you look back on it, you go ‘I should have done that, I should’ve done this.’ But you put your life in their hands because they’re the professionals and know what they’re doing.” “Everyone says to me, ‘How did you know to push it and say, no I want it cut out?’ and I think it was just instinct. I wanted it gone.” Previously a teaching assistant, Ingrid was excited to start a

new position as a locomotive driver, an opportunity she was forced to decline to undergo treatment for her cancer, a full mastectomy and intense chemotherapy. “I have nothing nice to say about chemo; it was awful and debilitating. The hair loss rocked me more than losing my boob,” Ingrid says. Despite a trying treatment period Ingrid was determined to be ok for her son’s wedding, attending the event mere weeks after her chemotherapy. “When you go through cancer, you get this inner strength that you never knew you had. You turn into a soldier, and you think ‘No, I’ve got too much to do.’” “I had two kids and four grandkids at the time, six now. And I just thought ‘I’m not going anywhere; I have to be there for them.’” A breast reconstruction then saw her back in the surgery room. After finally completing all her procedures, she learnt that her father had been diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. “They offered chemo, but he said, ‘No, I’ve seen what it’s done to my daughter. I’m not going to go down that path.’” “It was really hard to go through that, it’s gut-wrenching to watch,” says Ingrid West.

From the heartbreak of diagnosis, the confrontation of treatment and grieving the loss of her father, she was determined to rebuild her life, turning to natural and alternative medicine and a healthier, chemical-free lifestyle. Now an avid golfer, she is determined to stick around and to be a role model for her children and grandkids. She is incredibly grateful to Shirley Gilmore and the support of the Breast Cancer Support Group within the Burdekin community. “The strength that you find, you’d do anything for your kids. You just fight, fight, fight.”

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH CANCER, YOU JUST GET THIS INNER STRENGTH THAT YOU NEVER KNEW YOU HAD. Ingrid West Cancer Survivor

Regional Queensland Abandoned. We must be having an election. Suddenly the Burdekin is being visited by a stream of southern politicians with money to spend and promises to make. When this election is over, North Queensland can’t expect the lolly dropping to continue because the voter base of the two major parties is firmly anchored in Brisbane. Worse still, to appease the conscience of city voters, both Labor and LNP are competing for the Green vote by supporting environmental laws founded on hype rather than science that are slowly strangling real wealth producing industries like Mining, Grazing and Agriculture. In the Queensland Parliament on the 11th August, just 9 weeks ago, the LNP supported 2 joint Labor/Greens bills relating to Reef Regulations. The Member for Callide, Colin Boyce was the only LNP parliamentarian to stand his ground and refuse to vote with Labor. Dale voted against us. Dale Last’s vote couldn’t have prevented the legislation but he could have stood up for his constituents like Colin Boyce. This defiance may have cost Dale his position as a Shadow Minister in the LNP opposition, but the Burdekin could have been more confident that our welfare took precedence over a Cabinet position in the LNP. This is a clear indication that Dale Last and Mike Brunker share a common problem. The Queensland parliament has 93 seats and 74 of those are in the South East corner. There are only 19 regional members in parliament so it is no surprise that wealth created in the farming and mining areas of the north are going towards building expensive cross river tunnels and eight lane highways to the holiday spots on the north and south coasts.

201015COX13

If Brunker votes against his party, he faces immediate expulsion from Labor. If Dale votes against his party, he condemns himself to the backbench of any LNP government. Both can promise anything they like during election but when it comes to big decisions in Brisbane, they’re easily outvoted and have to toe the party line or face the consequences. I have long advocated the formation of a North Queensland Regional Party to form an alliance between One Nation, Costigan and Katter. By some grand coincidence, all of these people plus the added voice of Colin Boyce opposed the Reef Regs legislation designed by Jackie Trad and the Greens to prevent any future development of resources in the North. Although soundly defeated by 78 votes to 6, that team of Katter, One Nation, and Costigan showed a foundation of people willing to fight for the North regardless of the odds. I begged Sam Cox to stand in this election and I’m supporting him as the Katter candidate for the Burdekin in the longterm hope that we eventually gather a big enough team of Northern parliamentarians to hold both Labor and LNP accountable at every future election and demand a fair go in the North. We can all stand back and complain about what’s being done to us but we have to start somewhere and now is as good a time as any to send a message to Brisbane that we aren’t going to cop it forever. At the upcoming election, the people who voted for you in parliament should be up the top of your preference list and the people who didn’t should follow in descending order.

Where are they now? René Le Feuvre Musician

From the rural scene of Giru to the busy streets of the Gold Coast, one of our up and coming artists talks of how playing Peter Pan in high school lead to releasing his first album. Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au

What made you decide to take a career in music? I went to uni and was studying physiotherapy, and wanted to be a football player as well. With physio, nothing really fit for me, I just hated university. It was interesting, but I felt like I didn’t want to work a 9 to 5 job. I started busking, because I had no money, that’s really why I started music. I had just moved out of home and loved busking, the response I got from people was really good. It’s amazing how you can change someone’s day, or even whole life, with music. For me, it’s really fulfilling when someone understands the music I’m writing, and it helps them in some way. I’ve got a backing band now, and have just done my first show. I sing all originals. I’ve just scored a manager, so we’re trying to book more shows in Brisbane and get things rolling so it’s pretty exciting. How did a young lad from Giru end up giving Boy George mangoes on The Voice?

What are some of the challenges you have faced breaking into music?

In the long-term future, I want to move overseas to America, they love music and love supporting artists and musicians.

I moved to the Gold Coast when I was 17, and couldn’t get a job. I ended up working in a café, and was recommended by the manager to go on The Voice.

It’s hard to start, like any business, that’s why I’ve been busking and performing, so I can put that money back into music. Money is the big one.

How can people support you?

I submitted an Instagram video, and was accepted to go through the rounds. I couldn’t believe it. It was pretty cool; you get treated like an actual professional when you go on those sort of things. It was a real insight, and that was when I decided I wanted to do music. Through The Voice which took place in Sydney, I got to meet people, do interviews, and perform onstage. For me it was a great experience. I was working with Boy George, who is very funny and eccentric. He gave me some great advice which was good.

The mental side of things is hard. Comparing yourself to other people, comparing timelines. The highs are great, when you’re at your top, but when you’re low it’s hard to get out of. The mental side of things is really hard, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

What’s been happening in Rene’s world recently, leading to releasing Watch Me Fall? It was so relieving to actually release an EP. That was my goal for the year, I spent a lot of time writing the songs and then recording for a few months, and in between COVID it was a nightmare. When it was released, I was like “Wow!”, it was a huge achievement for me. How has the industry surprised you? It’s funny to see which songs do well online, compared to others. One of my singles, Second Hand Soul, is going really well and getting Shazamed a lot, which means if it’s on the radio people are actually going out of their way to listen to it. People don’t use CDs much anymore, but for my shows people can take something home with them. It’s all coming together. I’m hoping to land some songs in movies and TV shows, that’s what I’m looking at, at the moment. There are so many different things you can do in the music industry, it’s crazy.

Has the COVID-19 pandemic impact your performing? I was meant to go perform at a huge festival in Texas in March, at South By Southwest. The day before I was meant to leave [Australia], I had to cancel those plans, because they cancelled the festival due to COVID. I had four TV interviews lined up and the performances, so that was a huge opportunity missed. My local shows are back happening though, which is great. How has growing up in the Burdekin helped you through your career? It’s kept me very grounded. My whole branding is being authentic, in my music, in my performance, how I present myself. Being from a tiny town is a part of who I am, but is a part of my music. I’m never going to pretend like that isn’t. Coming from a small town gives you perspective… people’s mentalities are a lot different in the city, and experiencing the different mentalities makes me really happy I grew up where I did. What’s next for Rene? I want to do shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and of course the Burdekin next year. As well as releasing more music.

The biggest thing people can do is to follow me on Spotify. That, and adding my songs to their playlists. If Spotify’s algorithms are picking up that people are listening to my songs, it will spread out my music to thousands more people. Of course there’s CDs and merchandise available on the website too.

Questions for Sam...

burdekinlocal.com.au

hy did you give preferences to LABOR in 2017?

The Labor party was blaming farmers for damage to the reef before the 2017 election but you still gave Labor your preferences.

hy will KAP increase our costs?

The KAP wants to reduce the rebate we receive for our solar panels, increasing everyone’s costs!

hy are you stealing the credit? Local farmers went to Canberra to negotiate the Sugar Code of Conduct, not you.

hy won’t you tell the full story?

The recent amendments to the Reef Regs included some positives for farmers. The August 11th changes, which the KAP opposed, mean:

BEFORE A permit was needed for farm

expansions of more than 5ha Farms required the same type of rehabilitation plan as a mine! Rehabilitation of mine sites was inconsistent, meaning much of this land was unusable.

AFTER Permits for farm expansions are not

currently needed Rehabilitation plans are no longer needed for farms. The Rehabilitation Commissioner will ensure mine sites are left in good condition, perfect for agriculture!

These changes are better for farmers! Queensland Country Life

Shedding locks for a good cause Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au

TWO brave young ladies have taken to the challenge of losing their luscious locks for a good cause, to raise funds for cancer research. Home Hill State High School Year 12 students Laura Loizou and Aiyana Robinson created the “Ponytail Project,” as a way to give back to the broader community. After months of growing, Laura and Aiyana got the chop on Monday, October 12th, surrounded by peers and teachers, with Townsville

hairdresser Taylah Smith donating her time for the cause. The girls have been fundraising hard, to contribute to the much-needed research. “This year’s been a bit rough, so I wanted to do something good, not only for the community but for those fighting with cancer. Raising money to go to a cause is a great feeling. Cutting it is scary, but it’s going to go to good use,” Aiyana said. A personal connection to the disease made it an easy

decision to do the project. “I’ve had cancer in my family, so I just wanted to give back to people,” Laura said. “We’ve raised $1,400 at the moment, and we’d like to thank everyone who has helped fundraised or donated.” Holding onto their locks of hair after the cut was unusual but satisfying. “It’s a little bit weird, a bit different, but a good feeling,” the girls said.

Congratulations to Alyssia Guy for taking out the State Title in the song writing category of the Queensland Schools Poetry and Song Writing Competition. The theme for this year’s competition was “The Senses” and applicants were asked to share their stories through poetry or song. Amongst the judges for the competition was International renowned Australian poet Rupert McCall OAM. Judges noted the high quality of the entries and celebrated the wealth of talent & creativity of students from across QLD.

Past students share life after high school Hayden Menso THE end of high school is a daunting time, working out what you want to do and making the step into the ‘adult’ world. As part of its graduate program for senior students, Ayr State High School held its annual I’m Outta Here workshop evening on Monday

12th October. Current Year 12 students and their families discussed their concerns about life after senior school, brainstorming ideas and ways to navigate the tricky end to twelve years of education. Then they were treated to a guest panel of former students,

those who have graduated in the last four years, who shared their experience of what it’s like to live university life and work in local trades. The workshop aims to give students a smoother transition from high school, hearing valuable first-hand stories and tips to help along the way.

Tour brings dance to the classroom Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au

As local as you can get! Call 4422 0518.

DANCENORTH has been sharing their passion for dance by bringing their regional workshop tour to local schools this week. The professional contemporary dance company, based in Townsville, brought its final loop of their Community Experience Program to Ayr, visiting Burdekin Catholic High School and Rhythm Edge Dance Studios yesterday.

The workshops for students offered an opportunity to be exposed to the potential of dance, especially to students who may not think dance is for them. “Dance has the potential to inspire, and enable people to connect with friends and peers,” Dancenorths’ Alice Holland said. “Students come up with their own dance ideas, and have a

great time. The content is always new and fresh each year.” Sessions were focused on the needs of student groups at each school. “We work with the schools to tailor the program, sometimes it’s a general class for prep students or a class for drama students, the workshops are different to what’s required,” Ms Holland said.

Strategy to maintain Burdekin beaches

Redevelopment plans a positive step forward for coastal preservation

Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au

THE creation of a Dune Management Strategy for coastal areas across the Burdekin will see improvements made to our favourite recreational spots. Alva Beach, Wunjunga and Beachmount Reserve will all receive much-needed upgrades, thanks to the management and revegetation strategy recommended by JBPacific and spearheaded by Burdekin Shire Council. The strategy was open for public comment via an online survey and drop-in sessions and is now being updated, in line with feedback provided from residents. Upon its return, the strategy will be workshopped by the council before being brought up for adoption. The strategy set to implement revegetation, is new fencing, improved signage and improved access to beaches, all to ensure longevity for our lifestyle and local attractions. The strategy will also examine the reasons why our beaches have become eroded to a poor state, including coastal processes, the impacts of weather systems, and vehicle access and usage on dunes and beaches. The action initiated within the strategy also holds the potential to create partnerships with local organisations, involving residents and interested groups into the restoration process. Further development of the strategy is expected soon.

Over the last four months, Farmacist have implemented a trial to investigate soybean varieties across a number of different planting dates. The aim is to fine-tune the winter planting window for high yielding varieties that are currently being grown in the Burdekin.

Farmacist also had the opportunity to demonstrate two varieties of safflower which have shown promise in the Mackay region. Farmacist invites you to their field day next Wednesday, 21 October at the Ayr DPI. You must RSVP in order to attend to this event. Please contact Simon Dunlop (0427 471 491) or Heidi Hatch (0448 621 994).

Copperstring benefits from budget funding Hayden Menso FUNDING from the federal budget to progress the Copperstring 2.0 project is coming in, meaning greater electricity security across the north. The project will see a 1,000 kilometre long high-voltage transmission line built from Townsville to Mount Isa, connecting the north west minerals province to the national power grid for the first time. CopperString will allow expansion of the national electricity grid, creating more affordable electricity for the north and north west. The amount of money allocated from the federal budget is commercial in confidence, but it brings to light a greater reality for the resources sector. “We will now have a very clear pathway toward a final investment decision in the middle of next year” Joseph O’Brien, CopperString 2.0 Director has said. Set to pay great dividend through job creation, the project is headed to begin construction in early 2021,

once government approvals are reached. “With up to 1000 km of high voltage transmission line between Mount Isa and Hughenden, CopperString will deliver 750 direct construction jobs and connect North Queensland with the National Electricity Market to help deliver lower cost power,” Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, Angus Taylor said. The project will allow greater opportunity for the exploitation of minerals and renewables. The Queensland Government in May announced $14.8 million to help fund the project, as part of its COVID recovery plan. Now the joint funding between governments and

Authority is holding the seminar as part of a campaign to reduce weather-related accidents. CASA’s Peter Gibson says correct decision making by pilots is crucial. “When flying visually, accidents continue to happen as pilots get into deteriorating weather,” Mr Gibson says. “Local pilots will learn

Aquaculture industry sees green Seaweed has been dubbed the new frontier in aqua science and innovation, used to treat wastewater on farms, fertilise crops and create climate-friendly alternatives for livestock feed. Marina Trajkovich SEAWEED is set to be the next hot commodity in aquaculture science, as innovative implementations of the humble marine plant set groundbreaking standards in everything from waste water management to agriculture. Seaweed production is already an eight billion dollar industry overseas and on the rise in Australia, as scientists and producers continue to develop new technologies and applications for the oceans natural superfood. Sam Bastounas is the CEO of Pacific Bio, the mother company of Pacific Reef

Fisheries in the Burdekin setting a global standard in wastewater management. He says that the implementation of harvested seaweed in the farm has the potential to allow significant and sustainable expansion in aquaculture across North Queensland and provide hundreds of jobs in the Burdekin. “One of the challenges to on-shore prawn farming is being able to manage the discharge from the farm,’’ he says. “What we’ve developed in tandem with Pacific Reef Fisheries and Pacific Biotechnologies is to use seaweed effectively to clean water and enable the growth of the industry. “The seaweed acts like a sponge so basically mops up all the nitrogen and the

Pacific Reef Fisheries aquaculture farm located in the Burdekin

phosphorus that’s in the wastewater. We’re then able to release clean water back into the ecosystem and back into the ocean.” The seaweed is a natural, sustainable and low energy alternative to expensive water treating facilities. Bastounas says that the company aims to utilise the research implemented on the prawn farm in Ayr for the treatment of wastewater in sewage systems across Queensland, currently lagging behind the international standard. “It’s using seaweed basically as nature’s factory, it’s such an incredibly novel concept, and we’re keen to deploy it.” “We need people to believe in innovation,” he says. Seaweed used to treat wastewater at Pacific Reef Fisheries is also converted into a biostimulant and fertiliser delivering powerful

growth results for farmers in the Burdekin. The company is also funding research into asparagopsis, a red coloured freshwater seaweed that when added to livestock feed, significantly reduces the amount of methane produced by cows, currently responsible for ten per cent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. By adding asparagopsis to cow feed, the amount of methane produced in the digestion process is almost eliminated, a huge step forward for climate science innovation. “This is the stuff that we feel is powerful and can change the way that the world and these industries operate; it’s just a smarter way to do things.” “We’re looking to develop those areas as the seaweed industry is growing.”

Not dingo-ing anywhere Giru’s new conservation project aims to educate visitors about local wildlife and the importance of healthy ecosystems in Australia. Marina Trajkovich SHAKIRA Todd speaks casually from inside her newly built wildlife enclosure, not taking pause as her tancoloured dingo Austin leaps onto a log and affectionately licks her ear. Wildlife Surrounds Conservation Centre is the zoologist’s new business venture, aiming to educate visitors on the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems and protecting our wildlife. Austin is one of two inhabitants she has raised from pup-hood, along with his life partner Aayla and new additions to the enclosure Jarli and Jiemba, a rare black dingo. The conservation site has been newly completed adjacent to her home in Giru, a fully self-sufficient and sustainable property on the outskirts of Bowling Green Bay National Park. “Wildlife surrounds aims to be a community hub for education and research and collaborative work with other organisations to achieve conservation goals,” she says. “I’ll never be open like a zoo to the public, everyone who comes through here will be listening to an educational presentation whilst interacting with our wildlife.” A key purpose for Wildlife

Surrounds is to educate the public on the importance of apex predators in Australian ecosystems, including dingoes. “Our dingoes are ambassadors for their species so people coming here are able to learn about why they’re important to the ecosystem and what we can do to conserve them and to create awareness about the threats to dingoes.” She says that dingoes play a crucial role in maintaining balance in the Australian outback, particularly when over populated by Macropods like kangaroos and wallabies, and introduced species like rabbits, cats and foxes. With baiting, shooting and trapping designed for “Wild Dog”control putting dingoes and other wildlife at risk, this balance is disrupted. “When you remove apex predators out of an ecosystem, the ecosystem collapses and that’s what’s happened and is happening in Australia,” she says. “Australia is responsible for a significant portion of the world’s mammal extinctions in the last few hundred years.” Commonly perceived as a threat, stable Dingo populations have potential to benefit livestock owners and the agricultural industry. Macropods grazing on properties in plague

proportions are an aggravation for the agriculture sector, resulting in heavy fencing at the expense of farmers that create barriers to vital wildlife corridors. Dingoes keep native and pest herbivore populations in check, reducing competition for grazing livestock. “What we’ve been doing for the last 200 plus years is persecuting dingoes and it’s not working and in many situations the issue is getting worse.” “A lot of cattle graziers are finding now that if they don’t interfere with natural dingo populations on their property that they’re often better off economically, by reducing herbivore competition and saving money on control efforts ,” says Shakira. “There’s viable predator friendly farming practices and that’s where we need to find a balance with grazing agriculture, which is such an important industry in Australia.” The Wildlife Surrounds Conservation Centre is set to be open for visitation towards the end of the year, with plans to expand into other conservation projects as need arises. “All wildlife kept at Wildlife Surrounds contributes back to the conservation of its species somehow.”

Rep basketball success Burdekin Amateur Basketball Inc Our U16G Austax Burdekin Wildcats competed at two Queensland North Junior Basketball Carnivals (QNJBC) before Covid caused the cancellation of their third carnival in March. These girls played in Cairns and Mackay against teams from Mackay, Cairns and Townsville. Under Sandra Wight’s coaching and guidance the girls took out the Northern Competition, beating Townsville for the top position. The U16 Austax Burdekin Wildcat girls then participated in the State Championships in Brisbane during the September Holidays. They were undefeated going into quarter finals, but a strong Rockhampton Cyclones side ended their winning streak and the girls hopes of a gold medal game. Semi finals saw them take on Brisbane Capital Silver and the girls showed their dominance defeating them 64 - 40. Their final game at the State Championships was against Townsville Lightning. This game was to decide 5th and 6th position in the state. It was not the girls day going down to lightning 71 - 44. The girls finishing 6th out of 17 teams in Division 2. Awesome effort! (The first photo is from Sandra Wight and the girls names are left to

Covid cancelling all other competitions for our U12 and 14 teams. The boys fought hard during this competition winning 3 out of five games against finishing third. They competed against teams from Townsville, Cairns, Mulgrave and Mackay, The Boys, under Coach Shanay Castello’s guidance, prepared for State Championships in Cairns during the September Holidays. This competition was extremely tough for our U14 boys. The fought hard, had several close games but did not manage to achieve one win. They finished 13th out of 13 Division 2 Teams. These boys showed the Burdekin spirit, they dug deep, never gave up and continued despite not getting a win. Not an easy feat. They learnt some valuable lessons in teamwork and persistence.

Our U12 Sports Power

Burdekin Wildcat Boys competed at the only QNJBC carnival in Townsville in August. They finished the weekend winning two out of five games. Narrowly losing two in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Brett Eathorne (Coach) used this experience to hone the boys skills and teamwork in the lead up to the State Championships in Townsville during the September Holidays. The boys played well as a team winning 2 out of 6 preliminary games. There were two very close games, but the boys just couldn’t manage to bring the wins. The boys final match was for 9th or 10th in the State playing Southern District Trojans. They were triumphant, winning 41 - 29. Awesome effort from the boys. There were 14 teams in Division Two. (Third Photo -Back Line Belinda Tinus - Assistant Coach, Brett Eathorne - Coach, middle line - Jax Tinus, Brandon Schlieff, Hogan Smith, Anthony Rinella, Sam Eathorne, Front row - Chase Power, Daniel Cornelius, Mason Munn, Ryke Haller, Nicholas Cathcart) Our U12 Sports Power Burdekin Wildcats girls competed in Townsville at the QNJBC in August. They dominated the Division 2 competition finishing undefeated and taking out the QNJBC title for 2020. This is

the third year in a row that Burdekin has the honour of holding this title. Coach John Bonnano continued to prepare his team for the State Championships, however injury hampered their lead up, with Zandi Bonnano falling at school and fracturing her arm two weeks before the competition. The girls went into the competition with seven players. This number would dwindle further, when Holly James sustained a fracture to her wrist from a hard fall during their game against Bundaberg. They competed strongly in the competition winning three from six games - tying for third position on the ladder - however for and against saw the girls end up playing for ninth and tenth instead of 5 and sixth position. The girls played with six players against a strong Gladstone Power side. Bringing home the win 70 - 36. The girls finished 9th out of 14 teams. Awesome effort (Fourth photo - Back Manageress Shannon Pirrone and John Bonnano - Coach.

They shot out to an insurmountable lead before anyone could figure out what was happening. This weekend international mental health day was celebrated with Brandon Bowls Club ticking all the boxes. Get healthy focus was there with healthy conversation and healthy food choices. Keep Learning focus was there with variable wind causing the contestants to continually adapt and the many conversations starting with “did you know”. Show kindness was there with the regular comment from the skips “good try” when everyone could see it was a terrible bowl. Connect More focus was there as it is a staple of bowls with all social bowls teams made up of a diverse range of people and rarely the same group week to week. Take notice mindfulness was required as due to the variable conditions the opponents bowl had to be watched carefully for changes to line. The last mental health focus is ‘embrace nature’, and that is what everyone did, getting out in the sunshine and having a day out. In the mental-health focussed matches, there were some excellent contests. The Mindfulness Medal was contested between the duo of Gary Nosworthy and Len Feeney and the duo of Ken

Ferguson and Alan Garioch. The zen-like nature of Len and Gary was too good for Alan and Ken, resulting in a calm victory. In the Stressfree Shield Mick McCloskey and Peter Henderson had a care-free contest with Merv Wilshere and Ray Panecassio, big on laughter and relaxed banter resulting in a draw. In the “Connect More” Cup the trio of Dave Sheehan, Jamie Woods and Gary Pearce played out a noisy fun filled affair with the trio of Doug Kiehne, Rino Lazzarin and Dave De Francis. Doug, Rino, and Dave ended up victorious, courtesy of a couple of outstanding ends especially when they took the connect more mantra to be bowl and kitty. The highlight of next weekend will be the A Pairs final between the duo of Tony Bayliss and Steve Nellestein and the duo of Rino Lazzarin and Ray Panecassio. A B Pairs match will be played between the duo of Wayne Coonan and Vince Beitia and the duo of Doug Kiehne and Leo Kenny. These matches will be at 1:30pm on Sunday the 18th of October. Prior to that, on Sunday morning, a triples competition match will be contested between Gary Pearce’s team and Tony Bayliss’ team. Next Sunday, the jackpot must go off, so to be in the draw you must be playing. Names in by 1:00pm for a 1:30pm start. Call Gary on 0488214222 or the club on 0456727061 close to the times above.

Our Under 13 and Under 15 teams had their first T20 games in Townsville on Sunday, with mixed results. Under 13 Blue scored 8 for 64 and won their game against Brothers 8 for 42. Cooper Lando stood out with the bat with his 32 runs but it was in the field that Home Hill re

Home Hill Junior Cricket

Last ally played as a team with 6 bowlers getting wickets. Ethan Pengelly was the best with 3 wickets for only 2 runs.

The other bowlers to get wickets were Eamon Casey 1/1, Sienna Lago 1/5, Emily Town 1/3, Aidan Butler 1/10 and Cooper Lando who got into the action with the ball as well, 1/4. Eamon Casey also got 2 catches, with Sienna Lago and Thomas Cardillo snaring 1 each. Perry Munro and Leo Olditch bowled economically and were unlucky not to get in the wickets also. Our Under 15 team, who were the Under 13 Townsville Cricket T20 Champions last season went down to Sub Parks by 8

runs. Low scores were the order of the day with 21 runs being the highest score in the whole game. Home Hill’s highest scorer was Nate DiBartolo, who retired on 13 runs. Corey Heidke and Rian Berryman also retired after scoring 12 runs each in the 90 run total score. The Home Hill boys fielded very tightly knowing that they needed to, with not many runs to play with. A catch each was taken by Kailan Tustin and Salvatore Cardillo and 3 bowlers got wickets. Jacob Machin 2/10, Joey Southwell 2/11 and

Nicholas Pengelly 1/19.

Home Hill Tennis

Home Hill Tennis Fixtures Round 1 Spring Season It was great to see 50 players sign up for the final season of fixtures. The committee was very pleased as this is at a time when numbers are often less during the crushing. We look forward to 2021 when we will have 3 more courts lit with LED lights as the club was fortunate to pick up a Gambling Community Benefit Trust Fund in the recent rounds. This will be timely

as we anticipate full courts to start the year. The club welcomed a few new players and some former players back to the courts. Patrea Bojack and Angie Milburn stepped back on the courts which was great for the competition. Angie has teamed up with her granddaughter Megan which will be an awesome pairing for the Dale Last Team. Patrea still gives the ball a good thumping and when she has gotten rid of a bit of rust, she will certainly give those men a run for their money up on the top line.

Newcomer to the district Travis will also be a strength in line 3 for Bendigo Breakers. Chris Becke and Robert Trail will also be strong players for their teams. Saury Kanthivar, Sheryn Woods, Sophie Rickards, Robert Trail, Ben Moran and Donna Sgroi all won their 3 sets. Saury was particularly pleased with his close win over Kate Casswell 4-2, 5-3, 4-3. Home Hill Car Wash defeated Dale Last 60 game to 53, while Bendigo Breakers defeated Home Hill Surgery 69 - 45.

Local athletes take on greulling Cairns event

BURDEKIN locals recently took to the streets and roads of Cairns to compete in the Ironman 70.3 triathlon event. Battling hot conditions, Glenn Wassmuth and Heidi Hatch, took on the event on Sunday 27 September. “We were aiming at doing Busso [Busselton in WA] at the end of the year, but that got cancelled because of COVID, so I made a lastminute decision to sign up for Cairns,” Heidi said. Both placed well, with Glenn finishing tenth overall, and fourth in his age group. Heidi placed in the top 100, and third in her age group. Although numbers were down, the event attracted athletes from across the north, comprising of a 1.9km swim, 90km ride and 21.2km run.

Glenn’s finish awarded him a place in gaining a world championship slot for 2021, to be held in the USA, however, due to COVID concerns decided to decline. It’s hoped his placing will transfer to the New Zealand event the following year. Heidi has decided to go to Utah in September next year, pandemic situation permitting. “As I made the top four in my age group, I qualified to go to the Ironman 70.3 World Champs in Utah in September next year. Hopefully, we can travel by then,” Heidi said. “I’d like to thank the FirstIn Physio team for all their support in training.” Burdekin Rugby Union player Violet Edwards also made a last-minute decision

Hayden Menso

to participate in a team event, taking part in the run leg of the tri-event.

FULL CIRCLE The Kalamia Hotel Premier League side rejoined the winners circle this week with a strong showing against Wulguru. The Panthers were keen to set the record right after conceding points to the Roosters in the first round a result that cost the Panthers a place in the top four.

LAST-MINUTE HEROES The Burdekin side started the stronger of the two teams and claimed most of the first half possession however it was 0-0 at halftime. It was the home side who opened the scoring after the break with Jeremy Dal Santo’s chip leaving the keeper with no chance. Louis Zabala doubled the advantage moments later with a scintillating strike. At 2-0 the Panthers looked to be cruising to victory but the spirited visitors found two quick goals to tie things up and put pressure back on the Panthers. However Kelly Mienicke added a third goal for the Panthers and Ryan

Scodellaro a fourth, scoring his first goal for the Seniors, adding to his impressive achievements this year.

PROWLING RESERVES The Burdekin Tyre Service Reserve Grade remains in contention for the minor premiership with a last minute 2-1 win over Wulguru. The Panthers opened the scoring through Jay Leckenby and constant pressure resulted in many chances but the Wulguru keeper was having the game of his life and kept his team in the game. Wulguru equalised before half time to lock the scores up at 1-1. The second half saw the Burdekin team dominate possession but they couldn’t get the ball in the net. Then in the 87th minute a long throw from Corey Catanzaro was met by Jayden Lambie-Fabbro who headed the ball past the keeper to give the Burdekin a 2-1 win and keep them alive for the minor premiership.

The Burdekin Panthers had a relatively quiet weekend with just three Senior games, all against Wulguru, all victories and two Junior games, again, both won. after evading the advancing goalkeeper. The second half saw a lot more attacking football from both teams and it wasn’t long before Burdekin doubled their lead. Roncato beat her defender before being fouled in the penalty area. Tegan Johnson calmly scored from the spot to give for Burdekin a 2-0 lead. Burdekin continued playing very well and controlled the game until full time winning 2-0. The defence was outstanding with a lot of strong tackles and the girls working together to contain the speedy Wulguru attackers. Tegan Johnson and Jennifer Fotinos both very good games. The Ladies finish the season in 6th place but only 4points short of playing finals football.

JUNIORS SCORE The Under 13s won 8-0 against Brothers White after leading 4-0 at half time. Kyle Parravicini lead the way with three goals, other scorers were Logan Gulgiano, Michael Mayor, Ethan Caltabiano, Kya Quagliata and Nate Di Bartolo.
