Volunteer army cleans up beaches By JULIE KERESZTENY and GARY HUTCHISON AN army of more than 100 volunteers was assembled on local beaches on Sunday to scour for rubbish as part of the annual Beach Clean-Up Day. More than 1500 items of rubbish, weighing 74kg was collected from 374 metres patrolled at beaches at Walker Bay, North Shore and the north and south beaches of the river at Archer Point. And at Weary Bay, it was reported that five cubic metres of rubbish was collected - mostly debris left behind from campers. Students from Lakeland School participated in a clean up of their area on Friday, while Laura State School has planned a clean-up day for term three. Plastic bottles, other plastic products, foam packaging, pieces of weather balloons and thongs dominated those items collected, while there were some novelty pieces catalogued one of which was a New South Wales Fish Market Authority crate, along with some messages in bottles. This year’s event was organised by the Cooktown State School’s Earth Science Program which encourages the school to work towards sustainable projects within the community. Cooktown State School Teacher Julie Kereszteny said she, Nicola Smith and Dominic Aprile met with Jason Carroll, from South Cape York Catchments; and Sheils Barra, from Cook Shire Council, earlier in the year at an Earth Smart Science Workshop. “We then collaborated with other organisations to plan a successful event,” she said. “Planning meetings were attended by myself, Jason, Andrew Hartwig (Landcare and representing Cape York Feral Animals and Weeds Program, Russell Bowman, Mick Hale (Yuku-Baja-Muliku Ranger Team), Sheils, Peter Kilshaw (Marine Parks) and we had a phone link to Heidi from Tangaroa Blue in Port Douglas.” Ms Kereszteny said the meetings highlighted what a dynamic and strong community Cooktown and declared the clean-up a huge success. “Working together and with the support of our Country Women’s Association, Lions Club, Fishing club and local businesses including the Mobil service station, bakery, Iceworks, newsagency, the Lure Shop, and the Italian restaurant our community beach clean up was a huge success despite the howling winds and ominous cloud cover,” she said. “Volunteers came from all spectrums of the community and a big thank-you has to go to everyone who was involved in any way. “They all made a huge contribution to our environment and the cleanliness and presentation of our beaches.” Ms Kereszteny said that, while there was less rubbish collected this year than in 2011, there was still room for a lot more improvement. “One positive from the exercise is that the message seems to be getting out there,” she said.

Flood waters leave travellers stranded at Mt Molloy WHILE Cooktowners, who stayed home over the weekend and shivered in the gusting winds that shook the town for days, those who ventured south towards Cairns and the Tablelands found themselves stranded by flood waters at Mt Molloy. Heavy rains in the Cairns and Tablelands areas resulted in flooding to Rifle Creek and Spear Creek, and caused mud slips which forced the closure of some roads south of Mt Molloy. Rossville resident Sandy Lloyd estimated most traffic had come to a standstill near the Mt Molloy pub at about noon on Friday afternoon. “I arrived there at about 2pm, but traffic was banked up on both sides of the flooded area,” she said. “Half of Cooktown must have been there.” Sandy said she realised she was in for a long stay, so booked a room at the pub, which soon reached capacity. “They filled up pretty quickly and there were no rooms left,” she said. Sixteen golfers headed to Cooktown for the Open failed to make the trip, but contacted Cooktown Golf Club Manager Kelly Barnett to assure her they would try again in 2013.

Accustomed to local river and creek levels dropping as quickly as they rise, that was not the case on Friday and Saturday. But, while most at the site were prepared to wait more than 12 hours to attempt safe travel, there were still the foolhardy who attempted to cross with varying degrees of success. “Some of the bigger vehicles got

through as the water levels subsided, but there were others who stalled and had to be pushed out,” she said. One of those was a Cooktown 4WD hire vehicle with Asian occupants. “They got stuck and by the time they were pushed out, a lot of water had flowed through their car; it was pretty wet inside,” she said.

Special equipment recommended to view Transit of Venus By GARY HUTCHISON ASTRONOMER James Barclay has warned against trying to view Wednesday’s Transit of Venus event without special equipment. Mr Barclay is the managing astronomer at Kingaroy’s Maidenwell Astronomical and has recommended special glasses for viewing with the eyes, or the application of a solar film to camera lenses, binoculars and telescopes. “The glasses I’m referring to are relatively cheap, while the solar film is fairly inexpensive too,” he said. While some sources are recommending welding glasses, goggles and masks, Mr Barclay said those items had to be of a particular standard before damage to the eyes and equipment could be avoided. “Welding opticals would have to be a Level 14 before they will be effective,” he said. “And sunglasses, regardless of how good they are, are not recommended for use either.” There are other home-made methods

which are both safe and effective and information on these techniques can be found on the Maidenwell website: http://www. starsabove.com.au/transit-of-venus-2012. html Mr Barclay has also volunteered himself as a source of information for anyone who wants to call him on 4164 6194. The safety equipment to which he refers is available for purchase from the observatory, but buyers will have to make immediate contact in the hope it arrives by post in time for Wednesday’s event. The Transit will occur over a six hour period, which will start at about 8.16am. The next Transit will not occur until 2117. To celebrate the Transit and its relevance to Captain Cook, the Cooktown Re-enactment Association will hold a breakfast at the James Cook Museum from 7am, where a play will be performed to explain the significance of the event. Following the performance, those in attendance will be invited to move to Grassy Hill for the 8.16am start to the Transit. Re-enactment Association President

IT is great to see that work has commenced on the footpath between the Events Centre to the Prep room. This was a project that was discussed at several P&C meetings before council agreed to the work and is now happening before the time we were told. So a big thank you to Cook Shire Council for making this project a success, now grades prep to two will no longer have to walk through the mud to attend parade and their music lessons.

Loretta Sullivan said her group had bought a few pairs of special glasses, which could be shared by those going to Grassy Hill. “It takes six hours, so everyone will get a chance to have a look at it,” she said. A special price of $17 for the breakfast, play and a tour of the museum will apply to visitors, while locals will pay $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Locals get behind kids’ free art workshops Henderson, Waratah Nicholls, Gavin Roach and Gwen Pini. School of Arts Society member and one of the organisers of the program Fini Pini made five separate pledges of $20 since last Thursday’s Cooktown Local News article. “We’re just thrilled to bits with the response we’ve received,” Ms Pini said. “It’s been quick and it’s been wonderful, we owe a big thank-you to everyone concerned. “We know just how much the kids enjoy the workshops and what it means to them.”

By GARY HUTCHISON COOKTOWN’S response to the plight of the Cooktown Art Society’s free kids’ workshop program has been both quick and decisive, with enough money pledged by Monday afternoon to ensure the program goes ahead. The majority of pledges were made by individuals and families, but leading the attack on the required total of $1600 were the Endeavour Lions with their donation of $1300. “We’re only too glad to be able to help out with any program likely to give our local kids something to do,” Endeavour Lions Treasurer Peter Whipper said. “It’s something we do whenever we can, and this program being free and available to any children who want to participate is an appropriate recipient for our donation. “I’m sure the kids will enjoy it.” Recovering in Cooktown Hospital from a recent hip replacement operation, George Theobold added $300 to the tally, while Loretta and

We’re all tourist ambassadors for Cape By GARY HUTCHISON AS the first tourists of the season start to trickle into the region, Cooktown Chamber of Commerce & Tourism President Max Nulley has called on all businesses and employees to consider themselves to be tourist ambassadors for the Cape. “It’s vitally important for anyone who deals with customers to give visitors the best possible impressions of the place,” Mr Nulley said. “The reality is anyone, who offers a service or a product, is in fact a tourist ambassador.” Mr Nulley said it is too easy for service providers not involved directly with the tourist industry to under-estimate the roles they have to play during the season. “Everyone has to remember that tourists don’t only spend their money on just accommodation, fuel, souvenirs, food, drink and alcohol.”

Cooktown Chamber of Commerce & Tourism President Max Nulley is calling on all business owners and employees to leave visitors with the best possible memories of the region. Photo submitted. “They buy groceries, reading material and stationery and because they’re on the road, invariably might have to buy hardware supplies, camping equipment or spare parts.” And he stressed that sometimes it is the little things that give the longest-lasting impressions of a tourist destination. “Friendly greetings, the smile from the person behind the counter,

a happy disposition and the ‘pleases’ and ‘thank-yous’ are so important,” he said. “Taking that extra step to be as helpful as you possibly can, will mean so much to someone’s experience of Cooktown and its surrounds.” He said word-of-mouth advertising is the most potent form of advertising and warned that one disgruntled customer usually sent a negative message to at least five of their friends - especially among the “Grey Nomads”. “All of us have to remember that the one thing Grey Nomads do when not driving and sight-seeing is talk among themselves,” he said. “It’s their main form of communication, so we want them talking positively about us up here. “But it’s not only the Grey Nomads we have to consider, it’s every visitor who comes here and that should really include the whole year around.”

MEMBERS of The Queensland Indigenous Family Violence Legal Service were invited by Betty Woibo from the Cooktown District Community Centre to participate in the Domestic Violence Awareness Month event in the Cooktown Rotary Park on Thursday, May 17. A mixture of service providers that operate and provide services throughout Cape York contributed to a positive day with communication and awareness that domestic and family violence will not be tolerated in our communities. The CDCC provided a fresh and nourishing lunch of various salads and the freshest bread rolls from the local bakery, while the chef did a great job cooking the sausages for the barbecue. One of the highlights of the day was the enormous green cake to celebrate the ladies, men and children joining together to get the message out. Gift bags were distributed from the ladies of Remote Area Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Care. QIFVLS supplied information brochures with two staff attending the event; Jan Methven, Solicitor and Derrick Oliver, Client Support Officer. Jan and Derrick handed out information pamphlets and were on hand to share the message of a victim’s right to speak out against domestic and family violence. Newly appointed Deputy Mayor, Penny Johnson was also present on the day to oversee the community barbecue and information exchange.

Tess Buhmann running a Zumba class while she was living in Cooktown, will return next weekend to hold a Zumbathon to raise money for the Cooktown Dialysis Unit. Photo submitted.

Festival Zumbathon to raise money for the dialysis unit A ZUMBATHON to raise funds for the Cooktown Renal Service has been included in this year’s Discovery Festival program. Former local Tess Buhmann will return to run the charity event, which will be held on Saturday, June 9, at the Fishing Club Lease between 5pm and 6pm. Tess said she had been motivated to try and raise money after many years of seeing her late father-inlaw, Wayne Buhmann, undergo both Haemo dialysis and Peritoneal dialysis in the Cooktown Dialysis Unit. “My husband, Daniel, lost his Dad in late March,â€? she said. “Wayne was diagnosed with kidney disease over 30 years ago, struggled, had a transplant, underwent treatment and then endured much pain and sickness, circulation and loss of a limb up until the end.â€? She said it was only ďŹ tting the event be held during the Discovery Festival. “Wayne was one of those icons of the ‘June Weekend’, a born-andbred Cooktowner,â€? she said. “And whether he liked it or not, always played a part. “From the Grand Parades and Re-enactments since he was a kid, the Tug-O-Wars and Fishing Comps he coached since a young adult and Dad, through to the ferrying of Minuet and Belly Dancers since he

became a Grandad. “And he always made the time to give you a hand, go out of his way to help or at the very least give you a wave and say, ‘G’day Mate’ in that famous old town Cooktown drawl.â€? Tess said she hoped enough money could be raised to provide TV/CD stations for each one of the eight dialysis chairs. “Karen Coad the Dialysis Unit Manager had mentioned that at the moment there are only two big donated TVs shared by all, which as you can imagine can be quite hazardous,â€? she said. “Two big boxes with cords running along the oor or up to the ceiling, and the volume loud enough so all can hear and yet not so much as all the bells, whistles and alarms needed to be heard by the nurses.â€? She said provision of that equipment would at least in some way minimise the discomfort of patients conďŹ ned to treatment between six and eight hours in a session. A suggested donation of $5 is being asked to participate in the dance/ fitness event, but there are also prizes to be won by participating. “There’s some great goodies up for lucky door prizes - fuel vouchers, goodies from local shops and even a 12 megapixel camera,â€? she said. “And it will be lots of fun along the way.

“We’ll be playing lots of new and old funky ZUMBA songs/ dances, so people will be easily able to Merengue, Salsa and Hip Hop away.� For more information call Tess on 0437 691 664. But while the ZUMBA dancers are expected to turn up in all forms of exercise garb, Cooktown Reenactment Association President Loretta Sullivan said Captain Cook’s marines would not be turning up in uniform to perform. “They’ll be saving their best performances for the Re-enactment,� she laughed. And on that subject, Mrs Sullivan reported her crew was well on track for next weekend. “Everyone’s enthusiastic, we’ve been getting turn-outs to our rehearsals, which have been going like clockwork,� she said. “We’re ready, we can’t wait, this is our time of year.� Similarly, Discovery Festival organiser Bronwyn Sieverding reported that while she was extremely nervous, the Festival was looking very good for the weekend. “I’ve been getting wonderful support, and while there’s still a bit to do, we’ll be ready too,� she said.

bigger. It’s not a business that you can exist off - thank heavens - we don’t have enough funerals.� Is undertaking a good profession to be in? Would Kym recommend it? “You’ve got to be able to deal with a whole raft of things. Some deaths aren’t as easy as dying of old age, so you’ve got to be trained. It’s not a profession you can just take on. Infectious diseases training is a must. “The Cairns Coroner approached me to do transfers to the Cairns morgue, coronial transfers where there is an investigation. If it is a suspicious case, the police follow us all the way. There is to be no interference by anybody in any way until the coroner has done his investigation. “So I don’t feel the profession is something you can just walk into

organising a child’s funeral.� Cooktown has a pioneer cemetery dating back to the beginnings of the town. How does Kym feel we are managing it? “When I first arrived, I had concerns. People could come and go and there was no real control. It disappoints me that the tourist buses have a free hand there. It is a tourist asset, but we have to keep in mind that it is still an open cemetery. “My concern is that there should be a fee charged to the tour operators. When I talk to the bus tourists, they pay for all their trips in their tickets when they start their tour. The tour operators are getting paid for their tours, but I don’t think we are. We now have a dedicated person in the shire for the cemetery and we are now starting to put

the cemetery plan on disk, and to record everything electronically. It shouldn’t be up to the ratepayers to totally maintain the cemetery if it is a tourist centre.� Most of Kym’s time is taken by her work for the Regional Organisation of Councils for Cape York, better known as ROCCY. “I came up to be the coordinator; I’m now the CEO. It’s an interesting job. I get to travel to the communities and assist them with governance.� So what does Kym actually do in her official capacity? “I assist them with issues that affect them, both state and federal. Cook Shire Council not so much, because they have staff, but the others don’t have that capacity. I assist with human resources, management matters, local laws, subordinate matters. I’ll be going to Cairns to meet with the ATSI minister, and then we have a couple of days with various other ministers. All the councils will be down in Cairns. We’ll be talking to the new state government, so we could be looking into Alcohol Management Plans, or Welfare Reform, or general council business.� What does Kym think Cape York will look like in 50 years time? “What the Indigenous leaders are looking for is their towns to be called towns, no more missions or communities. “)They want to have business and industry. “It worries me that there is a government industry based on the Indigenous people. For the amount of money that has gone into the Cape, nothing much has changed. “We believe there is more than 3500 people employed in state and federal government outside the Cape. We should be in pristine condition with that much assistance, and we aren’t. “There’s just billions of dollars in projects and programs, and we’re seeing little outcome for it. It’s not hitting the ground. It’s being eaten up before it gets to do anything.�

You’ve got to be able to cope with grieving people and take them right through to whatever it is they need to do to grieve.� What does Kym find is the most difficult part of the job? “When young people pass away.

KYM Jerome (pictuired) is well-known around Cooktown as someone who really understands how government functions on Cape York. She now works as the Chief Executive Officer of the Regional Organisation of Councils of Cape York and spends much of her time travelling between the various councils. When she is not doing that, she often travels south to Cairns and Brisbane to represent our councils’ interests with sate government and beyond. She did not start out like that. She was born in Atherton and brought up there, and did not move to Cooktown until 1985. She was involved in the construction industry in Cairns: “Cairns at that stage had an influx of builders, and everything was quite cut-throat. We were doing the backpackers up here. We liked it, and we decided to sell everything and move up. The children went to school here. We lobbied and got a bus to bring children in from Rossville to increase the numbers, and eventually got our high school. “I left the building trade in 1994, and I moved away then to be with my daughter. “She was going to school in Rockhampton. I decided to study and get some business qualifications, which I did not have when I was up here. “I was doing my books with double-entry book keeping. We couldn’t have computers at that stage because the power used to go down all the time. “I needed to have a job while I was studying and went to do some ‘temp’ work at a funeral parlour and stayed for three and a half years. I learned all that comes with funerals, right through to coffin trimming and so forth.� After studying, Kym took a variety of jobs including time working with the Hope Indians in America, and another in the north of Thailand in Chiang Rai.

TWO boisterous and very funny twins, Alison and Jenny Hughes from Newcastle joined up with Mary Tuohy, a school faculty head from Melbourne ,to enjoy a refreshing Woobadda Creek dip last week. With her quirky humour, Alison joked: “ I travelled up here on my own a few days ago. When I saw how good it was, I decided to clone myself to get twice the fun.” Alison has a good point and deserves a change of fortune for her team, the languishing Newcastle Knights. On-the-spot cloning would be a marvellous boost for business and the community along the Track, so we ask government to please look into it. You can clone yourself anytime Alison - or Jenny. As a local, I gain special pleasure sharing the rainforest workings with children and positive parents. This week, the Oliver

family did a day trip up from Port Douglas and their three kids Kate, Thomas and “Claire Bear” asked questions and scribbled notes all day. They were very curious about the different piles of animalinduced sands on the beaches. I explained it this way - worms swallow sand to extract nutrients and leave the twisting heap (like an ice cream cone) behind as their “doo”. Crabs don’t swallow sand but sift out the detritus, leaving behind lots of little sand balls. Tiny, transparent, bubbler crabs are the artists. They leave tiny perfect spheres behind them, but as they often retreat to their hole and forage out again, the pattern can become quite complex. Ghost crabs (white with dark tops and eyes on sticks) are the ferals. They are larger and make two types of sand markings. One is the blobs of sand when they dig

out their holes and disperse the sand, then they roam out, leaving long herringbone scratch marks where they pick up the sand, sift it in their mouths, leaving a larger, more oblong sand mark behind. Finally, the soldier crabs are the farmers. They move along together along a wide front, but in rows, scarifying big patches of sand like a farmer ploughing a paddock. You can see the workedover areas of sand as soon as you hit the beaches on the outgoing tides. There have been some unseasonal bird sightings over the last few weeks. I’ve seen flocks of Torres Strait pigeons and metallic starlings along the Track. As both birds are migratory and most journeyed up to Papua New Guinea a month or so ago, they are among the rare groups that either stay behind or have migrated from further south. While unusual, it is also a regular annual event.

There are plenty of cassowaries from Cow Bay to past Emmagen Creek to the north. The high water levels and lack of sun have forced the crocs to keep their heads low, and we haven’t been spotting any in the Bloomfield River. The roads are wet but holding up well. One spot past Emmagen is a bit slippery with the increased rain and increased 4WD travellers driving the Track. There are some really low afternoon tides coming up over the following few days, so beachwalking will be sensational. The day tides are not so high and will not affect the Bloomfield River, unless there are heavy rains. So, take the family out to enjoy crab art, high tide debris and the wonderful flowers and trees along the beach edges.

ANZAC Cemetery care

‘labour of love’ to RSL C O O K TO W N R S L S u b - B r a n c h ’s commitment to those who lie at rest in Cooktown’s ANZAC Cemetery has seen members diligently revamping its lawns and gardens. A team of workers which included Jim Fay, Barry Clarke, Peter Sanderson and Julie Oliver were had at work on Tuesday, adding new plants and weeding and aerating the existing gardens. Jim said maintenance of the ANZAC Cemetery was the responsibility of the Sub-Branch and one which was taken seriously. “Council looks after the rest of the

cemetery, but this is ours to look after, and we take it as a matter of pride that we provide the most picturesque and peaceful resting place possible for Australian Defence Force personnel who have passed away and are at rest here in Cooktown,” he said. “As in anything to do with the RSL, we take these duties very seriously. “It’s a labour of love.” RIGHT: Cooktown RSL Sub Branch has been busily revamping the ANZAC Cemetery.

Council to insure Discovery Festival AT the last general meeting of the Cook Shire Council, it was decided that Council would take on the role as official organiser of the Discovery Festival and would subsequently purchase insurance for the event. The decision was made because the Festival is not an incorporated organisation, and is at present being organised by a volunteer with the funds being auspiced by the Cooktown Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. Council has agreed to assuming the role as a “one-off” to enable this year’s Festival to proceed, but on the condition that a decision is made at a debrief meeting shortly after the event to determine if it is to continue, and if so, which organisation will be responsible for it. Council has authorised Bronwyn Sieverding to run the Festival, as a volunteer on behalf of Council. Other Council decisions include: Cooktown Harbour Dredging Maintenance Permit: BMT were chosen as they have done all the modelling for the Department of Transport’s Long term dredging strategy - Port of Cooktown and this information will be used to formulate the model base for the permit application. The quoted cost is $48,000 excluding GST. Donation Policy: Council moved that a Draft Major Asset Donation Policy be developed and that a request by the Cooktown Community Church for a donation of land for a church and (in the longer term) a centre available for the church’s youth, is further considered after the Policy is adopted. The Church has been in Cooktown for 16 years residing in temporary or donated facilities. A builder has committed to the construction of the proposed facility on a block offered under either a freehold arrangement or a long-term lease (99 years). Admission fees change: Council approved a sixmonth trial to a change in admission fees to Nature’s PowerHouse from June 1. General visitation to the Cooktown and Cape York Visitor Information Centre in the PowerHouse has increased, yet the proportion of visitors viewing the museum and gallery is declining. A proposal was put forward to change the current admission fee of $3.50 to a gold coin donation. Evidence from other museums indicate that more income is often received through a voluntary donation rather than setting a fee. A decision will be made at the end of the trial.

Lizard Island listed as a top dive spot NOT only is Lizard Island deemed one of Australia’s best scuba diving locations, it is frequently listed as one of the top spots in the world. Cod Hole is a favourite dive spot in the splendid coral underworld, as it provides the chance to cruise around with the several stately potato cod, which can weigh in at between 6-30 kg. Many of the waters in the area remain relatively untouched and in addition to the cod, divers are likely to see everything from manta rays, reef sharks, to giant 150-year-old clams.

Pain-relief vine creates headache for fruit growers WELCOME plant lovers. This week’s profile from the Cooktown Botanical Gardens is on the Snake Vine (Tinospora smilacina) - a vine with triangular to arrow-shaped or heart-shaped leaves up to 10cm x 6 cm in size. These can be distinguished by small glandular patches, usually found near the base of the leaf blade, and with five prominent veins which rise from the base of the leaf. The flowers are unisexual, the males are greenish while the females are white. The fruits are round, red berries up to 10mm x 9 mm. This vine is a specimen in your Botanic Gardens and can be found in the Solander Gardens as it was collected by Banks and Solander in 1770 when they were here with Captain Cook. It was also painted by the botanical artist Vera Scarth-Johnson - the painting can be seen in the gallery and belongs to the community. Communities in central Australia used to crush sections of the vine to treat headaches, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory-related ailments. The sap and leaves were sometimes used to treat sores and wounds. There was a paper done on the “Anti-inflammatory activity, cytotoxicity and active compounds of Tinospora smilacina” (Li RW, Leach DN, Myers SP, Leach GJ, Lin GD, Brushett DJ, Waterman PG), as the plant has been used in Australian Indigenous medicine for the treatment of headache, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. The study to investigate the anti-inflammatory potential of plants using an ethnopharmacological approach, also sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tinospora smilacina, and suggested that the anti-inflammatory activity is due to triterpenefatty acid esters and free fatty acids. Endemic to Australia, it occurs in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Cape York Peninsula, North-east Queensland and southwards, as far as north-eastern New South Wales. However, the vine is also one of our vines that are host to the Fruit Piercing Moth. The adult moth is considered an agricultural pest, causing damage and destruction to many fruit crops by piercing it with its strong proboscis in order to suck the juice. Attempts have been made to control them using baits for the adults, egg parasites and larval parasitoids. The Fruit Piercing Moth (Eudocima phalonia) is a moth found in large parts of the tropics, mainly in Asia, Africa and Australia, but was introduced into other areas such as Hawaii, New Zealand and the Society Islands. The wingspan is about 90 mm. The caterpillars feed on various plants, especially vines in the Pea family (Fabaceae), distinguished by pea-shaped flowers, and including the Coral Tree (Erythrina crista-galli), Coral Bean (Erythrina fusca), Tigers Claw (Erythrina variegata). They can also be found on the vines of Menispermaceae or the moon-seed family (the seed is in the shape of a half moon), including the Carronia Vine, Hypserpa vine, (Hypserpa decumbens), Roundleaf Vine (Legnephora moorei), (Pleogyne australis), Pearl Vine (Sarcopetalum harveyanum), Prickly Tape Vine (Stephania aculeata), Southern Japonica (Stephania japonica), and Snake Vine (Tinospora smilacina), which are mostly tropical vines and grow here. Keep an eye out for this vine and moth, as your neighbours may have fruit trees if you don’t. Sandy Lloyd 4060 3102 sandylloyd@skymesh.com.au

Harry Webb’s dream of driving from Cairns to Cooktown PART three of the story of Henry (Harry) Step Back Albert Webb and his family. WITHä And so to Harry himself. On January #OOKTOWNä 28, 1905 Harry Webb married Mary Clara (ISTORIALä 3OCIETY Catherine Young in a civil ceremony at the court house in Coen, North Queensland. Both the bride and groom were listed as residing in Port Stewart, which was then the port for Coen and their respective occupations were miner and domestic. Harry was born in ‘Staffordon’/ Stafford, Kedron, Brisbane, and was 25-years-of-age when he married, while his bride Mary was a true North Queenslander, having been born in Maytown 23 years prior to her marriage in 1882 during the heady days of the gold rush. No record has been found of any children from this union.

Let your light shine

BILL, a town local with a “reputation” became a Christian and everything changed. His new focus in life was to brighten the lives of many in his town through his caring actions. He did it all with a heart of gratitude. One evening, after a church service the minister called for people to decide to make a break with their Godless ways and turn to God. One sorrowful character was heard to plead in tears: “O God make me like Bill! Make me like Bill!” The preacher leaned over and said: “Wouldn’t it be better if you pray, make me like Jesus?” After thinking about it for a few

‘a small town of homes and shops’. “The place isn’t the same any more,” he said. Mr Webb included Southport and the Northern Rivers of New South Wales in his itinerary and experienced ‘two very important highways, having driven over the Hornibrook Highway to Redcliffe and flown over ‘the proposed Cook Highway to Cooktown’. Harry expressed the hope that he would be able to travel the Cook Highway by car on his next visit south. Unfortunately, it was to be the late 1950s before passable roads from Cairns to Laura and Cooktown were completed. And it was only during the dry season that trucks and some other vehicles were able to drive the already declared ‘State Highway’

seconds, the man looked up and asked, “Is he like Bill?” We might smile, but what a character Bill must have been. A great Bible verse helps us understand where Bill was ‘coming from’. Jesus said: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) Young Tommy went with his folks to Europe on a trip. As he visited various historic cathedrals, he saw some huge stained glass portraits of the disciples of Jesus. When he returned, his teacher asked what he liked most about his trip. He thought for a moment and said, “I loved

the awesomeness of who God must be.” The conversation continued during which she asked for his definition of a Christian. As his mind went back to those massive stained glass windows, he said, “A Christian is a person the light shines through.” Jesus, the Light of the World (John 8:12) called his followers to be the Light of the World commanding that they reflect the light of his love and care in a world that seems so dark at times, letting the light “shine through”. It’s like Jesus passed “the torch” to us - a challenging task for each one of us. Pastor Peter Cooktown Baptist Church

True Eyes

Our bodies are miracles, wondrous and fine, And we can plan, design, write and do summing But eyes, ears and heart of the spirit are blessed With the magic that knows angels’ wings humming. Lord, Grant me true eyes that see when doubt blurs my vision And true ears that hear when anger is drumming; A true heart that feels when the mind has gone cold And a true soul that knows Your footsteps coming.

POLICE are warning the public of a fraudulent email purporting to be from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) offering recipients a tax refund of $210.75. People are receiving an official looking ATO email including the ATO insignia from an email address containing the information @taxation. com Subject: ID: 46 - Tax Refund Notice! The email advises the recipient to wait 6-9 working days for their “refund” to be received and they are directed to click on a link which appears to start as a genuine “ato. gov.au” email address, but on closer inspection contains a “@hotmail. com” address within the link. The fraudsters tell

the recipient they will record their IP address, date and time and threaten that deliberate wrong inputs are criminally pursued and persecuted. When directed to the website, recipients are confronted with an authentic looking web page and are required to enter an array of identity details, credit card number, credit card estimated credit card balance and amongst other things to upload a scan of their driver’s license. After submitting these details the final page of the fraudster’s website redirects the recipient back to the “authentic” ATO website. Anyone with information which could assist police should

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th) A friend whom you have not seen for a long time will shortly come back into your life. This person has changed a lot since the last time you saw them. Romance. Your emotions will be especially strong at the moment. You will respond well, so long as your partner treats you gently and with respect.

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th) A friend whom you can normally rely on may suddenly let you down. This might not be the best time to put pressure on them, however, as they have other problems which you are not aware of. Romance. Your relationship will gradually strengthen over this week, so long as you are patient. If you try to rush things you will lose more than you gain.

Your Medicare and Health Care/Pension cards will be required each time you visit the Health Service. To see any of the above Specialists you will require a doctor’s referral, and then make appointments through the Hospital on 4043 0100, or Community Health on 4043 0170.

We’ll treat your temperature, but not your temper. An emergency department sees fractures, injuries, accidents, incidents and sometimes, even deliveries. So you’ll see there’s just no room here for anger or hostility. It’s for your own safety.

No horsing around during equestrian workshop By GARY HUTCHISON

THERE was no “horsing around” in Sharni Macor’s workshop for Cooktown Horse Sports Association members last weekend, but there was lots of information and helpful hints for riders of all ages and abilities. Conducted over the two days, original concerns about the Smoko Lane venue being too wet were allayed as the strong, gusting winds soon dried out the area set aside for the event. Designed for both beginner and advanced riders, Ms Macor assessed the technique and style of the equestrians and provided them with helpful hints for the improvement and correction of any faults she detected. “Sharni’s been very helpful, working with groups and individuals,” said Association member Keelan Veivers. “We’ve all been looking forward to this weekend, so we weren’t going to let a bit of weather deter us.”

Ashleigh Jerome concentrates during this walking exercise.

Hashers thought they were in Antarctica THE recent flurry of Antarctic weather made life difficult for the Hash this week. For a start, many Hashers were snowbound in their houses and unable to come to Base Camp and the start of the trail. Only the Hashers with good dog-sled teams were able to get that far. Things did not get much better once we had arrived. A bitter wind was whistling up Hidden Valley and the wind chill had dropped the thermometer far into minus territory. Only when we were all rugged up in parkas and snow boots did Sherpa

Titus check everyone’s ice axe and crampons and lead us out into the weather. It was a long trek to the base of the South Col where the serious climbing starts, but the team kept together and conserved their energy for the big effort. Just as we began climbing, the weather broke and we forced our way up through a storm of icy pellets to the pre-positioned supplies on the col. Unfortunately, the weather was just too much and we could not even open the supplies. Instead we beat a quick retreat to lower altitude and took shelter in the Keatings Lagoon car park.

Here we found the supplies consisted of a very fine fruit punch, which set us up for the long trek home. (Except for Sewezy and Wet Check who managed to get a lift home from a passing yeti.) Back at Base Camp, Sherpa Titus lit a huge fire and we gathered around it trying to get some warmth back into our bones, while Wet Check produced some cheese toasties to warm our tummies. Setting aside the hallowed traditions of the Hash, Titus decided to replace the circle with an old folks singalong.

I’m not sure why, but I think he feels he must get used to the idea for the future. Of course, we all went along with him, but I missed the witty cut and thrust of a proper circle. Plenty of time to sit around mumbling and drinking warm tea when we’re all a hundred years old or more. Next week’s run is at Offal’s place, from 5.30pm on Monday, June 4. To join the fun, call Moses on 4069 5854 or 0409 686 032 for details. On-on! Lye Bak

Shooters’ plans misfire Cooktown success in zone shoot LAST weekend’s inclement weather played havoc with the plans of members headed elsewhere for shooting events, while locally, strong, gusting winds and chilly temperatures made conditions on the range unfavourable. Jason W. just managed to negotiate flooding to get through to Cairns on Friday just after lunch by 4WD as the Williams family were heading to Normanton for their weekend annual Shotgun Shoot, but Toby and Lina were not so lucky. They ended up sleeping in their car overnight waiting at Rifle Creek, before turning back on Saturday morning to return to Cooktown - missing the Zone Shoot at Mareeba. At the SSAA Cameron Creek Range Shotgun DTL Trap Shoot is scheduled for Saturday at 1pm. For details call 4069 5173. Anne Williams Secretary

THE Cooktown SSAA, represented by Mal and Janne finished second from a field of eight in the Zone Pistol Shoot shoot held in Mareeba during the weekend. To achieve this, Mal achieved two first places while Janne finished with two second places. Another of our shooters was stranded by flooding at Rifle Creek at Mt Molloy and was not able to represent the club. In Cooktown results for the week home, we contested a 30shot Sports Pistol event during last Wednesday evening’s Sunset Shoot. Mal took out first a score of 267, second went to Clint with 252 and Janne took out third with 217. The Firearms Safety Course is confirmed for Saturday, June 16 in the afternoon and Sunday, June 17 in the morning. Please phone 0417 817 536 for details. June dates for entry into your

diary include: Sunset Shoots Wednesdays - June 6, 13, 20 and 27 from 5.30pm; Saturday Shoot - June 9 from 1.30pm; Firearms Safety Course - June 16 and 17; Practical Shoot - Sunday, June 24 from 9am; and General Meeting - Wednesday - June 27. If you would like to have a try, please come out on a Wednesday at 5.30 with photo ID and closed in shoes. Very importantly, members are reminded of the working bee we are holding at the range this Saturday, June 2. Please come along and help out. Chris Stewart Publicity Officer

Sons combine to take dad’s wicket in weekend cricket

Can the Warriors put a stop to Rebels?

By AMBER WELSH Black Mountain Panthers keeper Eril Kulka is ready for a snick off Hope Vale’s Nigel Bowen’s bat, but this delivery was dispatched to the boundary. Photo: GARY HUTCHISON.

SUNDAY saw another Twenty20 double-header in the Cooktown District Cricket competition, with Hope Vale playing the Black Mountain Panthers first. Hope Vale batted first and had a steady start, but BMP took a few quick wickets to put the pressure on the Hope Vale batsmen. Selwyn came out and made a great 53 to steady the ship before being out to a great catch taken by Bulla. After 20 overs, Hope Vale had posted a respectable 124. BMP opened their innings with Glen and George who took to the Hope Vale attack with vigour before George lost his wicket, caught by David, bowled by Craig for 22. Clive followed, and along with Glen 51 not out, made the necessary runs to chase down their target in the 15th over, with Clive not out on 45. The second game was a low-scoring affair played by Marton and Council. Council won the toss and batted first with no one really doing much until Scott came to the crease and smacked a quick 25 before being knocked over by sons Zane and David who combined to take the old man out. After 20 overs Council had made 103 runs, and. after a short break, Marton went into their innings pretty confident of reaching their target, but it was not to be. And with the top order collapsing, and only three batsmen making double figures, Marton were unable to score the required runs and finished on 92. Many thanks to everyone who helped out on the day - Amber on bar, Robyn and Katrina on the barbecue and Ray and Muzza as umpires. On a special note, junior players of the day were Jacob Whitman and Dave Curtis both with great bowling performances. Junior training is on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 4pm and 6pm at the Gardens. In Sunday’s games, Hope Vale Vale will take on Council and Marton will face up to BMP.

Squid action on the Wharf THE fishing season in Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park opens tomorrow, Friday, June 1, but with restrictions. Check this web site for details: http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/ parks/rinyirru-lakefield/about. html The word is the fish have been biting for the early birds heading into Pandanus Park, however, the road is still a bit wet, so be sure you drive to drive to the conditions. Locally, the rivers are still a bit tough with the weather not

helping. Queenfish, mud crabs, mangrove jacks, grunter and barra have been the catches. Last week the Wharf produced some great squid action on the dark moon, with barra smashing the surface chasing these tasty cephalopods. Some anglers were on the ball and went away with a large feed of tasty squid caught on jigs. Anglers fishing in the Annan River have enjoyed plenty of action without achieving much of a result. Many were busted up by blistering runs and were way un-

der gunned. Better luck next time. T h e seven-day day forecast indicates that Sunday or Monday might be the best days to head out. I would love to get out with reports that there are big spanish mackerel around and the coral trout are having a chew. Good luck and tight lines Russell Bowman The Lure Shop

Hope Vale’s Jayden Bowen swats this delivery straight back into the Queen’s Gardens pitch under the watchful eyes of BMP’s Eril Kulka.

New team takes aim at darts title COOKTOWN’S monthly darts competition is on again this year with three rounds already played and the fourth to be played on June 19, and each month thereafter until the grand final at the end of the year. Last years’ competition included teams from the RSL Sub Branch, The West Coast Hotel, The Sovereign Resort Hotel and The Cooktown Hotel, known by locals and visitors alike as “The Top Pub”. The RSL Sub Branch crowned champions after beating the Westy in the grand final. This year, Trinity Petroleum’s Cooktown Mobil service station has joined the competition, not so much replacing the Westy’s team but affectionately revamping the team with the Mobil making the Westy its home turf. The four-team competition is played on the third Tuesday of every month at selected pubs and clubs throughout the town, with players and spectators experiencing a competitive, but fun and enjoyable evening. Mobil Cooktown team skipper Dan Skyring, along with myself as team founder on behalf of our talented team, would like to take this opportunity to thank Mobil Cooktown’s Sandy and Paul Westernhagen and Trinity Petroleum’s Sandy Hocking for their ongoing support and our fantastic team shirts. Lastly we’d like to make special mention to competition organiser Jim Fay and all the players and host venues for making this competition an amazing event showcasing an array of talent for all to enjoy.

CAN the Hope Vale Red Soil Rebels continue their unbeaten run during season 2012? That is the big question on everybody’s lips as the Three Rivers Rugby League competition approaches its mid-way point. At the 6.30pm tomorrow night on the John Street Oval, they will take on the Hope Vale Backstreet Warriors who are still recovering from their last-start loss to the Crocs. A much better side than their recent form has shown, the Warriors are currently running third in the competition, but have the playing talent and style capable of beating the Rebels, but it will be the age-old question of whether they have the stamina and discipline to go the full 80 minutes - a trait which has become the trademark of the Rebels. And in the match of the night at 8pm, the Cooktown Crocs will be looking to string back-to-back victories when they take on a Wujal Wujal Yindili outfit that so far, has had a very disappointing season. But on their night, the Wujal mob have the talent to take advantage of the Crocs if they are not on their game. Patrons are reminded it is an alcohol and drug free event.

G’DAY again. The Tigers were just a bit too good for us on the weekend in a funny sort of game. We didn’t start well, me included with missing that bomb I should have caught which led to their first try. I’ll be doing some work on that to correct my technique so it doesn’t happen again, but, like the ball, the milk has been spilt and it’s no good dwelling on the past. Like the loss, we all have to get on with what we have control of, and that’s our preparation for Friday night’s game against the Titans on the Coast. Obviously we’re all disappointed, no one likes to lose. I thought we defended well, but didn’t do enough with the ball to score the points to secure the win. And why do we tend to start slowly when we play away? Again, that’s something we’re all thinking about and will be working on. Ultimately, it’s all about attitude and again, I include myself in that. I know critics have had something to say about our ability to win away from home, but I think we’ve put that theory to bed already this year with a couple of victories on hostile ground. The bottom line though is, if we want to win a competition, we have to improve our away-game performances. After all, we won’t be playing the grand final at Dairy Farmers. One highlight of the game that’s had everyone talking about is Jimmy Tamou’s chase on Benji Marshall. You’d think the big fella would be talking himself up, but he’s a pretty quiet type and hasn’t said anything about it. That chase just goes to show what athletic talent he has. On the subject of attitude, we won’t be falling into a ‘holiday mentality’ during this coming week on the Gold Coast in preparation for the game against the Titans. We’re all professional enough to know what’s required to prepare mentally for the game, which is sure to be a tough one. While we’ll be looking for the right formula to start better than what we have been, I’m sure the Titans will be riding high on the confidence of back-to-back wins from their last two games. It doesn’t matter where they are on the ladder, they’re always tough at home, but with those two wins under their belts, we’re under no illusions as to what we’ll be up against on Friday night. I pulled up good again after last week, as is the rest of the team, with the bonus that Jimmy was cleared of his late tackle charge. So we’re going into this match with an undisturbed squad. The Three Rivers boys are going around again at the same time we are, so I hope they enjoy their games. The two Hope Vale teams are up against each other and that should be a great game. I know the Warriors are keen to knock the Rebels off, but can they? And sooner or later the Yindili have to find some good form, but will it be against the Crocs?

Carol McKinna seen here driving off the 10th was Cooktown’s best performer in the Cooktown Open. After 36 holes, she finished with awards for best ladies’ nett score and C-grade title and the nearest-the-pin on 2/11.

Flooding leaves Open hopefuls stranded * By KELLY BARNETT WOW! What a weekend the 2012 Cooktown Open was? After 36 holes of golf played in gusting winds and chilly temperatures which made for very difficult conditions, Atherton’s Gary Thompson emerged as the winner of the men’s best gross and A-grade titles, while Gordonvale’s Rob Thomson finished with the best nett score. And in the ladies, Caitlyn Hendrie from Gordonvale finished with the best gross and A-grade titles, with Cooktown’s own Carol McKinna finishing with the best nett, C-grade title and the award for nearest-the-pin on 2/11. More results and photos for this year’s Open appear on Page 22 in this week’s edition of the Cooktown Local News. Due to heavy rainfall down south, 16 people didn’t manage to make it up to this year’s Open, but they have assured me they will be nominating again for next year’s event. In what was a very demanding and hectic weekend, I would like to thank Doug McKinless for helping me set up the three course bars and for also manning one of those bars all weekend. Thanks also goes out to Richard Steele,

Sam and Keith Smith for manning the other two bars and also to Otto Hirsh for being the spotter all weekend. Thanks also to Kate Thomson who did a fantastic job as starter and getting all teams out on time or even earlier. The competition flowed really well with no hold ups. Thank you also to Phil Witheridge for assisting me in all ways possible, especially the dismantling of the course bars and the counting of remaining stock on Monday morning. The winner of the annual Chipping Competition, which is run by Michael Benjak of Paradise Palms Golf Club was Lance McDougall of Gordonvale. The Italian Restaurant Weekly Stableford competition ended last Thursday and the winner for the week was Kim Copland who had 36 points. Runner-up was Dave Collie on 35.
