Coast Guard has that sinking feeling By GARY HUTCHISON

WILL Cooktown’s Volunteer Coast Guard remain afloat? The answer to that question lies in the hands of local boaties, with current Commander Helen Greaves deciding to step down after nine years at the helm. “I feel I have done my share, and, with changing work circumstances, I no longer have the available time to do the job properly,” she said. “I also feel a bit of new blood in the organisation would go a long way.” Ms Greaves said Cooktown’s nautical community needed to find two people prepared to stand for election as Commander and Deputy Commander of the local group, after no one stood for either position at the

Coast Guard’s recent flotilla election meeting this month. She said she was prepared to continue as Commander in a caretaker role until the next Squadron Board meeting in August by which time she hoped there would be nominations for the vacant positions. If no nominations are received for Commander and Deputy Commander by then, a public meeting will be held to discuss options and the possibility of winding up the Cooktown Flotilla. “If that happens, there is a real threat that the Cooktown Coast Guard could fold,” she said. Helen said the flotilla cannot run without an executive, which consists of Commander and Deputy Commander, which are elected

positions, and a Training Officer, Administration Officer and Purser, which are all appointed positions. “While one member has put up her hand for the position of Administration Officer, that is not enough executive positions filled to continue the running of the flotilla. “In particular, there must be a Commander.” She said the work commitments of the Cooktown group’s members was affecting the situation. “We are in an unusual position that almost all of our members work full time. “Other flotillas generally have a larger percentage of retired and semi-retired members who have the time to ensure the administrative side of things are dealt with.

“I know everyone in town who enjoys boating activities appreciates the Coast Guard, but it’s up to us locals to ensure its viability. “Coast Guard is a great service, and an important one.” Statistics cited by Helen for the last 12 months highlighted the Coast Guard’s contribution to the safety of the boating public. “In the past year we have had 11 rescue activations, 41 training activations, taken around 100 VHF radio calls including one Mayday, 5 pan pans and had 39 vessels log on,” she said. And, although she intends stepping down as Commander, Helen said she intended to remain an active member and promised her full support to her successor.

“I will, of course. give full support wherever and whenever it is needed,” she said. “Rest assured, those willing to take on any of the executive positions will be given every assistance.” She said her time as Commander had been particularly rewarding for her. “I’ve been privileged to meet some fabulous people both locally and from other flotillas,” she said. Membership application and nomination forms are available at the Lure Shop or call Helen (4069 5655) for further information. The next general meeting of the Cooktown Volunteer Coast Guard will be held on Monday, July 8, at the Cooktown RSL Memorial Club from 7pm.

 letters to the editor Flouride debate needs balance: Share your opinions AS a mother of four small children and plans to stay in Cooktown long term, the fluoride debate is one I watch with great interest as like most parents I want the best for my children, with short and long-term safety considerations in mind. I also like to be informed and will research independently before accepting and following advice which I encourage others to do also, before supporting one side or the other. From what I understand, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in soil and therefore also in water world wide in varying levels. This is actually what led to its “discovery” in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which had higher-than -usual fluoride levels in its water, and fluoride’s connection with dental health in the early 1900s in the United States (US). A great deal of research was conducted into finding the right amount of fluoride to add to water - enough to reduce dental decay and improve the health of teeth, while not causing mild to severe symptoms of fluorosis or fluoride “poisoning”, which is seen when excessive amounts of fluoride are ingested, usually because of naturally occurring high levels in local water supplies. The first town having fluoride artificially added to its water was Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA in 1945. Now most people in the US, Australia and New Zealand have access to fluoridated water. The dental benefits are huge, and the initiative has been supported worldwide with multiple organisations endorsing water fluoridation. This includes the World Health Organisation (WHO), which states that fluoridation of water is, “the most effective public health measure for the prevention of dental decay” and Centre for Disease Control and Prevention l listing water fluoridation as ‘1 of the 10 greatest Public Health Achievements of the 20th century’. I find it hard to believe that

organisations such as the WHO would make strongly supportive statements if there was legitimate cause for concern. Fluoride is now naturally and artificially in water sources world wide. Those with water fluoridation in safe levels, (not causing symptoms of fluorosis) have seen the expected decrease in tooth decay, without a rise in other health issues including no evidence of cancer. It would seem after 40 years of use by millions of people, it has been well tested and should be considered safe. Even within Queensland, the benefits can be seen with children in Townsville - which was one of the first towns to have water fluoridation (since 1964), having 45 per cent less dental decay than children in Brisbane (which only started fluoridating in 2008). How fluoride works includes helping to harden the protective enamel on developing teeth, and helping maintain enamel on adult teeth. Tooth decay is the destruction of the enamel. Those who are considered at higher risk of tooth decay include those: who have little or no access to a dentist; who snack a lot; who do not brush/floss regularly; have a high sugar/carbohydrate diet; have bridges/crowns; or have previous tooth decay. Given we have limited dental services, all people in Cooktown would identify with the first of those risks alone, and therefore our entire community would benefit from the fluoridation of water. I have no problem with thiamine being added (as it has since 1991) to bread to prevent rare diseases such as WernickeKorsakoffs syndrome, nor with iodine being added to salt to prevent cretinism. Both additives have benefits to the wider community. Fluoridation in my mind is similar, but with the advantage that it is for a much more common problem. For those who do want to avoid water fluoridation, there are alternatives such as rain water or

writing to the paper or local council to give some balance. For such an important issue, the entire community should look into the issues, and become part of the discussion and decision so that the actions of the council reflect the majority of the communities desire, and not just an outspoken minority.

Support for flouridation

MY family lived in the Newcastle area before and after fluoridation of water in that area. Prior to fluoridation I and my young friends were continually having cavities and dental problems with our teeth no matter how well we maintained our oral hygiene. When fluoride was to be introduced in the water, the local newspaper was also full of illinformed, ignorant and negative articles. After fluoridation and with the birth of my children, my personal observations were: my kids had no oral decay and had strong and trouble free teeth. Also, in the 40-odd years after fluoridation we lived in the area, not one person was reported with fluoride poisoning from a population of over 300,000 people. So people of Cooktown, do not listen to these accusations and innuendoes and false science. Do yourself, your children and grandchildren a favour and accept fluoridation. From one who has been through this before and knows the truth. Peter Whipper, Cooktown.

Take a bow Cooktown

WITH the June long weekend behind us . . . and having had the time to take a deep breath . . . I would like to take the time to pass on some feedback from the Festival. Time and time again, people came up to talk to me . . . wearing a big poofie dress encouraged that. They wanted to tell me how wonderful our town was.

bottled water. But for those of us who would want our children to have the benefits of fluoride when the town does not have fluoridated water, the options are not as easy or cheap. There are a few compound pharmacists that sell concentrated sodium-fluoride in different forms. A bottle of sodium fluoride solution (0.5mg/50mls) costs about $12.50 and would last a six-yearold child about one month. For my four kids, that would be $50/month or $600/year. Hardly an affordable solution. Alternatively, you can get larger amounts (cheaper) and add it to your own water tank, but given a lethal dose for an adult is 5g, it does not seem safe to have it in bulk in the house with the risk of accidental ingestion by a child. To me, Council fluoridation of water is the safest (and cheapest) way to ensure the right amount is available with greatest benefit to the whole community. The lifetime cost for those who can’t afford to buy fluoride alternatives if water isn’t fluoridated is also great. From an independent study cited on the Australian Dental Association website it states that “for every dollar invested in fluoride, $30 is saved on dental treatment” and that if every town with a population > 5000 was fluoridated in Queensland, over $1 billion would be saved in 30 years (see link below). That is a significant amount of money that will be worn by individuals as well as our government over a lifetime. Fluoride, like many things, in the right amount is incredibly beneficial, but in excess it can cause harm. That is not a reason not to exclude its use in safe amounts, and to deprive those at greatest risk the safest, easiest and cheapest means to improved dental health. For those who have similar feelings and concerns for their own families, and want to see town water remain fluoridated - please make your opinions known by

New facility adds to Laura race-goer comfort By JON ORTLIEB THERE will be no racing around to find a toilet or somewhere to have a shower this year at the Laura thoroughbred meeting. The Laura Amateur Turf Club has just put the finishing touches on a new ablution block. The $60,000 project, fully funded by the club, has delivered seven new toilets and four showers including an ensuite-style handicap-friendly cubicle. The besser-brick ablution block, fired by a gas water heater and wired into the course’s electric grid, is a significant addition to the facilities offered to racegoers planning to attend the June 28 horse sports and the June 29 races. The club prides itself on its bush camping grounds with the new facility adding to the charm of its other ensuite, donga-style facilities and the traditional “donkey-fired” wood-heated showers. The new block is situated roughly halfway between the racing facilities and the rodeo grounds to allow campers more room to spread out and still have facilities nearby. “We’ve also refurbished some of the other toilets and showers, so this new block just adds to the facilities

Laura went it alone, funding its own races, until its efforts were recognised by the state’s racing authorities and prizemoney was reinstated in recent years. “There have been a lot of people, putting in a lot of time and effort to keep the race meeting and keep it moving forward,” Williams said. “It is so vital to the district to have this once-a-year event retained with the horse sports on Friday, the races on Saturday and the rodeo on Sunday. “We only charge a nominal camping fee for our family-friendly grounds and the chance to be involved in some traditional horse sports and racing. “We expect even more trainers will nominate horses for this meeting this year to make it an even bigger event and a significant event on the thoroughbred calendar. “Laura is an important component of the Far North racing circuit and we are proud to be continually improving our facilities for racegoers, trainers, horses and jockeys to keep it as a signature event every year.”

Funding a boost for local shires LOCAL shires are set to receive a funding boost of almost $816,000 from Regional Development Australia Round 5. The announcement was made at a forum held in Canberra over the weekend, which was held in conjunction with the Australian Local Government Association’s Regional Cooperation and Development Forum, where participants discussed the challenges and opportunities of regional development. Cook Shire is set to receive $655,537, with Hope Vale and Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Councils to receive $98,262 and $62,192 respectively. As part of the agenda, RDA Chairs, Deputy Chairs and Chief Executive Officers shared information and case studies from across the national network and heard from experts in the field of regional development. The Forum focused on human capital, sustainable communities and population change, access to international, national and regional markets, comparative advantage

and business competitiveness. Key outcomes for RDA FNQ &TS include: • Announcement that RDA Fund Round 5 will provide over $5million to to the FNQ &TS region; • The ongoing focus and support for collaborative approaches like the Northern Queensland Strategy, which is a joint effort between RDA FNQ & TS, RDA Townsville and North-West, RDA Mackay Isaac Whitsunday and RDA Fitzroy and Central West; • Enabling RDA FNQ & TS to promote the region’s competitive advantage in the building and exporting of tropical knowledge within sustainable development, agriculture, education, health, natural resource management and municipal management fields; and • Increased collaboration with the RDAs across Northern Australia to strengthen the RDA network.

FOR the past six months the children of Hope Vale have been busy practising their dance routines in the lead up to last weekend’s 20th Laura Dance Festival. The Hope Vale Arts and Cultural Centre’s Cultural Youth Program gave community youth the opportunity to learn traditional dance and songs four afternoons a week. Working with community Elders, the children also contributed to creating their traditional dance costumes including traditionally made grass skirts. It was the first time in decades that grass skirts had been made in the traditional method out at Hope Vale. The children stripped bark from the beach hibiscus trees to create their traditional costumes. As a result of new festival rules, only 20 children from the community could be chosen to form the Yimbaala Youth Dance group who travelled to the Festival. These children were chosen by Hope Vale Arts and Cultural Centre staff as well as Hope Vale State School staff, with the children’s attendance at dance practice and their behaviour at school included in the criteria for selection.

Last Thursday after school, the children travelled to the Laura Dance Festival and camped out under the starts for three nights. Yimbaala Youth and Elders performed three times over the course of the Festival and did their community proud. A special thanks is much needed to Hope Vale Arts and Cultural Centre staff Lawerance Deemal and Melanie Gibson who co-ordinated the event, as well as Heather Alexander from the Royal Flying Doctors who catered for the event and CYAAA (Hope Vale State School) Principal Finn Buckley and teachers Ms Brownie, Mr White and Miss White who provided endless support over the preparation and duration of the event.

We would also like to thank the Elders who dedicated their time and efforts to teaching the children dance and song - Coleridge Bowen, Trevor Bambi, Fred Deeral, Malcolm Bally and Mervin Yoren. Thanks must also go to Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Councillor Carmen Pearson for her continued support of the Centre, and also to Council for its contribution to catering. Also congratulations to Harold Bowen, from Hope Vale Arts Centre, who won the overall Laura Dance Festival Art Award for 2013. A fantastic example of young people representing their Guugu Yimithirr culture and Hope Vale community.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin? DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ...................................People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW ............................................People aged 0-64 South Australia ......................................................... Children aged 0-14 Tasmania .......................................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT .............................................................................................People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ....................................................People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

COOK Shire Councillors and invited guests attended an official launch celebration atop Grassy Hill on Tuesday, June 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a significant difference this WELC OME redevelopment Chas T to one of our OOmade KTOWO N Peter Scott most-iconic landmarks,â&#x20AC;? Mayor told those in attendance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All those involved in this project are to be congratulated on creating such wonderful enhancements to this well-used and well-known local attraction.â&#x20AC;? The Grassy Hill redevelopment project commenced in 2010, with upgrade works and sealing of Hope Street up to the lookout. Solar lighting was installed into the road surface as an energy-efficient safety feature. Landscaping of areas leading up to and including the middle and upper lookouts included the installation of tables and bench seats, community pavers, a water bubbler, new parking areas and completely revamping the upper lookout area, with disabled access. The lighthouse was refurbished and an artwork concept was developed by local artists through the Regional Arts Development Fund. Interpretive signage depicting our local history and heritage was the final element installed which completed the project. The Grassy Hill redevelopment project was funded through Cook Shire Council and the Queensland Government (Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme and Regional Arts Development Fund). Council would also like to acknowledge

Council stated that the airstrip remains available for aircraft operations, however, users will be responsible for maintenance. The use of the Lakeland Airstrip will be continue to be reviewed by Council as required. 1.5km of road works Local residents and commuters of Rossville and the Bloomfield Valley will soon see Council work crews in the area conducting 1.5km of sealing works on Bloomfield Road. Work will take place from Rossville to the Shiptons Flat turn-off and will commence late June to early July. Travellers are urged to take care during these upgrade and sealing works and drive according to conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During consultations for the Cook Shire Community Plan, local residents and ratepayers told us that roads infrastructure was their number one priority, said Mayor Peter Scott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud to say that Council is continually seeking opportunities to improve road access across all areas our Shire.â&#x20AC;?

Schools competition spurs recycling efforts COOK Shire Council promoted recycling in a very different way with the introduction of a competition between the local schools on March 1. Endeavour Christian College, Cooktown, Rossville, Laura and Lakeland State Schools accepted the challenge, enrolling 15 teams comprising a total of 293 students. Their task - to collect PET (type1) and HDPE (type2) plastic containers as they are the most-common types of plastic. But it was not just a case of collecting the containers, a rule of the competition specified that all containers had to be rinsed off, with the lids removed. The competition lasted for three

months with the purpose of creating a recycling habit and finished on May 31. Council Waste Management Coordinator Kristina Kossinskaja said that in the short three months of the competition, the students had done wonders. “Within three months the kids collected 26,819 containers,” Ms Kossinskaja said. “That is equal to 94.5 cubic metres of plastic diverted from landfill.” Ms Kossinskaja said the top five students alone collected 8825 containers between them, which was one-third of the total. The “Best Recyclers” were: • Tanya - Cooktown State School -

Prep /Year1C - 2830 containers; • Trinity - Endeavour Christian College - Year 4/5 - 1660 containers; • Lacey - Cooktown State School Year ½ - 1613 containers; • Kerlin - Lakeland State School - Prep - Year 6 - 1595 containers; and • Jennifer - Cooktown State School - Year 5 - 1127 containers. Each of the winning students received a Kindle E-book for their efforts. On May 19, as part of their normal classroom activities, the students participated in the annual Cooktown Beach Clean-Up, which saw the students busy collecting plastic bottles for their competitions. “It was an educational day for them

to see how much rubbish ends up on our beaches, and that unfortunately, most of it is made of plastic,” Ms Kossinskaja said. “The kids were allowed to take eligible containers home, which diverted at least 2 cubic metres of plastic from the landfill.” Cash prizes, donated by Cook Shire Council were also given in the “Best Team” category, with all winners coming from Cooktown State School. The winners were: First - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE - Prep/ Year1C - 42 bags (15.75 cubic metres); Second - 5T’s Recycling Machines Year 5 - 41 bags (15.375 cubic metres):

and Third - Rockin Recyclers - Year ½ - 29 bags (10.875 cubic metres). Ms Kossinskaja said she would like to thank all the teachers for their patience and hard work, with special thanks to the winning team leaders: Kelly Callcott, Alice Taylor and Kiah Johnstone. “Plastic containers are easily recyclable and have a value,” Ms Kossinskaja said. “I hope that this is the lesson all of those 293 kids learned. “Hopefully our streets and beaches will remain free of plastic because kids are everywhere and they now know better.”

Mixed response to High Court decision on AMP restrictions THE High Court decision on Wednesday, June 19, to dismiss an appeal from a Palm Island woman against her conviction for breaching Alcohol Management Plan (AMP) restrictions on the island has been met with mixed reactions. Queensland Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs Glen Elmes said the decision “confirmed the lawfulness of Queensland’s AMPs”. “The Queensland Government believed it had a strong case which the Queensland Court of Appeal had upheld twice

previously.” A spokesperson for the Queensland’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Legal Service, which ran the appeal, said the decision was disappointing and that nearly 600 appeals against sly-grogging charges, put on hold while the challenge was heard in the High Court, would now need to be withdrawn. Yarrabah Mayor Errol Neal says the High Court’s decision is a setback for democracy and that alcohol issues should be managed locally. “There’s alcohol issues all around the world and the only

remedy I see is to get our people and create more opportunities for our people and employment - it’s common sense really,” he said. Following the High Court ruling Member for Cook David Kempton said the Queensland Government would now get on with the process of working with communities to continue the review of AMPs in the Indigenous communities where they are in place.. “I would like to see more restrictions on the movement of alcohol into Indigenous communities. Allowing communities

to control alcohol supply through local taverns would be a better way to deal with sly-grogging,” Mr Kempton said. “There seems to be no control about the flow, the volume, the quantity of alcohol, that’s going in to the region from whatever distribution point,” he said. “That’s where we need to get tough on the sly-groggers but we also make sure there’s some responsibility around the sale of alcohol from outlets into the region. “I would much rather see it sold and consumed in the community where it’s controlled.”

Jobs well done by the Shire SOMETIMES I think people have no idea at all how hard it is working up here in the Shire. There is so much going on, and we are under pressure all the time. There are so many things people want us to do for them, we hardly have any time to get any real work done. From first thing in the morning, the phone is ringing off the hook with people wanting us to repair holes in the road, holes in their water pipes, holes in the footpaths, even the hole in the Endeavour River bed (they want that one made bigger, not repaired). I think we need a department just for fixing holes. And another for mowing grass. We would need fleets of mowers to stay ahead of all the grassy verges, and now we have to go out to Lakeland

and mow the airfield. Really - the whole airfield! Do they have any idea how big that is? Honestly, it would be cheaper to lay concrete everywhere. All the time we are running around fixing things for noisy ratepayers, our real work is being neglected. Money doesn’t just flow in from Brisbane, you know. We have to apply for it and that is very, very difficult. You would think installing little walkways to get from the street over our heritage curbing would be cheap and easy. Just get one of the tradies around town to do it for $500 each, but if we did that, Brisbane would not pay for them. They want to see design studies, environmental studies, heritage assessments, safety audits and we have to

get all those things ready for them. View Just hiring the from exterior decoratthe Hill ing engineer to select the paint colour costs thousands, let alone the other complicated experts. It is all worth the effort in the end. We work hard, and are rewarded by lots of money from Brisbane to pay for modern, safe. colourful walkways. All our guys have to do is nail them to the floor (or however they are fixed in place), and everyone should be happy. Well, we in the Shire are, because it is a job well done and money well spent. I just wish more people appreciated the effort that goes into a project like that.

Compost: Gardening gold COMPOSTING is beneficial in so many ways - whether you’re growing a few greens or tomatoes in a tub on your verandah, or you have acres of tropical gardens. And it’s so easy to do. Simply put, it’s recycling waste matter from our kitchen and garden, which breaks down into highly desirable organic matter to be added to our soil. It supports a biomass of life and provides a plethora of nutrients for our plants. Successful composting relies on a suitable balance between “green” and “brown” ingredients. The browns are carbon-rich materials such as dead leaves, shredded paper, bark chips, straw and aged grass clippings, while the greens are nitrogenrich ingredients like veggie scraps, fresh grass clippings, coffee grounds and horse (or cow) manure. This mixture needs to be kept well-aired, with oxygen flow, and an optimum moisture level. It can be a bit like baking a cake getting the mixture of wet and dry ingredients right. A moist, well-aired compost is the ideal environment for compost critters that go to work for you. Microbes need a moisture film in which to work effectively.

GARDENING with MARTY PATTIE

An efficiently constructed compost pile, maintained correctly will heat up fast, killing most weed seeds, and break down uniformly. While most mixtures of green and brown will break down eventually, for the fastest and most efficient compost it helps to strike the optimum balance between nitrogen-rich and carbon-rich ingredients.

Quiz answers

AFTER the Federation of Australia in 1901, the Commonwealth Naval Forces was formed on March 1, 1901, by amalgamating the six separate colonial navies. The first Australian warship, the destroyer HMAS Parramatta, was launched in Scotland on February 9, 1910, and her sister ship HMAS Yarra was also launched in Scotland on April 9, 1910. Both ships were commissioned into the Royal Navy on September 19, 1910, and sailed for Australia, arriving at Port Phillip on December 10, 1910. A year later, July 10, 1911 King George V fixed his signature to the approval for the Commonwealth Naval Forces to be renamed the Royal Australian Navy, and for RAN ships to carry the prefix, “His Majesty’s Australian Ship” (HMAS). The manpower of the fleet stood at four hundred officers and men. On Saturday, October 4, 1913 the first Fleet Review of the RAN took place, when the battlecruiser Australia, the cruisers HMAS Melbourne and HMAS Sydney, the protected cruiser Encounter, and the torpedo-boat destroy-

ers Parramatta, Yarra and Warrego entered Sydney Harbour. On the same day, responsibility for the protection of Australia and surrounding waters was transferred from the Australia Squadron of the Royal Navy to the RAN. The Cairns Post on Monday, June 23 1913 reported that, “At the present time Thursday Island is unusually gay, the result of the visit of the Australian fleet, consisting of the armored cruiser Melbourne and the destroyers Parramatta, Warrego, and Yarra. The Melbourne remains at an-

Super moon

chor, while the destroyers cruise around the various islands, and one or two of them have visited New Guinea.” Apart from sailing past, it seems Cooktown was not included in the festivities, (A little like being missed today really), however in Cairns it was a different story. The Cairns Post, Monday June 30 1913, “The Australian fleet will arrive in Cairns this afternoon about 4 pm, and the suggestion has been made that owners of motor boats and small craft go out into the inlet and meet them. The citizens of Cairns

will certainly not be lacking in the warmth of entertainment and fervour of welcome. The Citizens Committee appointed last week has been working hard completing arrangements. Tuesday (10.30am) Civic reception to officers of the fleet at the Council Chambers. Palms and evergreens for decoration purposes, both for the Drill Hall and the Hibernian Hall on the occasion of the Citizens Ball, which takes place on Wednesday night, will be obtained. On Tuesday afternoon there will be various honor of the occasion, in order that back-country people may be afforded the opportunity of seeing the warships, and taking part in the festivities. Mr Ormsby, of the Palace Theatre, having offered a free night to the officers and men of the fleet tonight, at that popular theatre, the news will be conveyed on the arrival of the vessels. One of the big events was a ‘smoke concert’ on the Thursday night. For

aquatic events, consisting of rowing and sailing races, etc., the arrangements for the latter being carried out by the Aquatic and Rowing Clubs. Wednesday, a Free Excursion to Barron Falls. Thursday afternoon, two football matches arranged, and the Rugby Union will select teams to meet teams from the warships. Cutlass drill and other events should form a pleasing feature of the afternoon’s entertainment. On the same day there will be hundreds of visitors from the hinterland in Cairns, special trains having been arranged in those, (like me) “Smoking concerts were live performances, usually of music, before an audience of men only; popular during the Victorian era. These social occasions were instrumental in introducing new musical forms to the public. At these functions men would smoke and speak of politics while listening to live music.” The ships may have looked forward to sailing again, just to have a break!

GOOD SPORTS at SMALL SCHOOLS’ CARNIVAL

PHOTOS: LOUISE BASSON

By JANNIE BASSON THE Endeavour Christian College recently hosted the annual Small Schools’ Sports Carnival at the John Street Oval. Great weather encouraged students form Endeavour Christian College, Rossville State School, Bloomfield River State School, Lakeland State School and Laura State School to do their best and have an enjoyable day. The day was jam-packed with events that included straight races, long jump, shot put and high jump. Younger students competed in sack races, egg and spoon races and block and bucket races. To complete the events for the day, team games were played, including captain ball, tunnel ball, leader ball and in-and-out file. Organiser Louise Basson said the students displayed very good sportsmanship during events and it was great to see everyone cheering each other on and congratulating each other for their achievements. She would also like to thank Jana Whittaker from the Cooktown Bakery for donating all the bread for the food stall on the day and also the parents from all the schools who volunteered their time. Without the support of helpers, a day like this would be impossible to run. Congratulations to Bloomfield River State School who won the 2013 Shield for the best results per student ratio.

Age Champions for the carnival were: (Back row from left) Ethan Wilkin (Endeavour) 2000 Boys, Karoleen Lowdown (Laura) 2002 Girls,Trent Duncan (Rossville) 2002 Boys, Jade Snell (Rossville) 2001 Girls and Serg Allan (Rossville) 2001 Boys.

CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd) This would be a very good time to start a diet. You will have to convince yourself that it is worth doing, however, or else you will lapse within the week. Romance. Do not give up on your relationship, just because you have had a small set-back. Your luck is about to turn. Hang in there!

LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) Don’t allow anyone lead you away from your dreams. They won’t understand your needs as well as you do. Stay on course! Romance. You will have to make progress by yourself. The partner you have been depending on has much less energy than you. You need to take the lead.

VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)

FOR KIDS

You may have to compromise your beliefs in order to ﬁt in with other people. Try to see things from their point of view and you will feel enlightened. Romance. Your partner will need to be treated fairly gently at the moment. They have more things on their mind than you realise.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd) You may be thinking about going overseas for a while. This is not the best time for anything rash. Make sure you know what you really want to do ﬁrst. Romance. Your ability to sense what is happening to your partner will enable you to keep one step ahead of them during the week.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd) Other members of your family may need to be called in to help. There is too much for you to do by yourself. Don’t be afraid to state your needs. Romance. You may be a little too strongly inﬂuenced by fantasy at the moment. Try to keep your feet ﬁrmly on the ground and be happy with reality.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st)

FINDWORD No. 154 A LAUGH WITH LOTSA

An unexpected chance to get away should not be missed. You may not have a similar opportunity for some time. Pack light! Romance. You may be interested in getting a long-term friendship onto a slightly less platonic footing. Try to ﬁgure out what your friend feels before moving ahead.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th)

Your conﬁdence will receive a muchneeded boost this week. Be sure to have conﬁdence in yourself and not rely on others for your self-worth. Romance. Your partner will be in a strange mood. Encourage them to spend time with friends. They may simply need an outlet for their feelings.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)

For all your printing needs – www.lotsa.com.au

MUDDY RIVER

Make sure you don’t miss an opportunity to get together with some friends. You have been working hard recently and deserve a break. Romance. Your love-life will shortly be on rocky ground. Heighten your awareness and you may be able to prevent any upcoming disparities.

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th) Be careful not to lose your temper over an issue that is not really very important. It’s best to pick your battles wisely and save your energy for more important things. Romance. You must be careful to consider your partner’s needs because they may not be expressing them directly to you.

ARIES (March 21st - April 20th) A new friend will shortly be coming into your life. This person is quite different from most of the people you have known. It’s a good change of pace for you. Romance. Your energy levels will be very high this week. This will be an excellent time to put more effort into your current relationship.

TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st)

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“

New discoveries in

science will continue to create a thousand new

frontiers for those who still would adventure.

– Herbert Hoover

SOLUTIONS No. 154

An offer to get together with some people that you do not know very well may seem daunting. You will be glad that you went along, however. Romance. Make sure that you have your partner on your side before you make any important decisions. They will have to deal with the results.

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st) Something that you feel is right may seem quite illogical on the surface. Trust to your intuition and things will come together smoothly. Romance. A chance to make new acquaintances should not be missed, however busy you may be. You need someone to spend your free time with.

Choose lower fat versions Week 3 Challenge Goal - Choose lower fat versions of three foods you regularly eat. Some fat in our diet is essential to provide us with fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. A diet low in saturated fat that includes moderate amounts of polyunsaturated and mono-saturated fat meets these needs easily. Tips for reducing fat in your diet: Labels • Look at the nutrition labels of similar products and choose the one with the lowest fat content. • Serve sizes vary so compare product by looking at the column (per 100 g). • Check other ingredients of recipe/ meal and swap for low-fat alternatives • Avoid adding extra fat in food preparation. • Choose lean cuts of meat and lowerfat products • Cut visible fat off meat during preparation. Try these healthier cooking methods such as: • dry frying, grilling, roasting on a rack or stir frying; • drain and discard fat from the pan before making gravy/sauce with remaining juices; • skim fat from casseroles and stews before serving; and • dab any grilled or fried food before serving with a paper towel. Which Fat is which? Saturated fats: Eating greater amounts of saturated fats is associated with an increase in heart disease risk. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and include animal fats such as: Fat on meat Fat in chicken skin; Butter; and Cream Some plant-derived fats are high in saturated fat such as: Cooking margarine; Palm oil; and Coconut. These fats are often used in commercial, processed and packaged foods. Foods that may contain significant amounts of saturated fat include:

Sausages; Hard cheese; Cakes and biscuits; Snack foods; and Takeaway foods Trans fats are found in some: Margarines; Oils; and Processed foods. Eating more trans fats is associated with an increase in heart disease risk. Poly-unsaturated fats Omega-6 and omega-3 fats are types of polyunsaturated fats. Omega-6 poly-unsaturated fats are found in the following oils: Sunflower; Safflower; Soybean; Grape seed; and Many nuts and seeds These fats have been found to reduce heart disease risk when they replace saturated fats in the diet. Omega-3 poly-unsaturated fats are also known as “fish oils” as they are found in oily, deep-sea fish. These fats have been found to reduce the risk of heart disease. Try to include two fish meals each week. Mono-unsaturated fats found in the following oils: Canola; and Olive Margarines made from these as well as some nuts and seeds, olives and avocado. These fats have been found to lower levels of bad cholesterol when they replace saturated fats in the diet. Fat is higher in energy (kilojoules) than any other nutrient. Eating less fat can assist with weight loss and eating less saturated and trans fats can help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. The information provided is based on the recommendations given by the National Heart Foundation and the Australian Government National Health and Medical Research Council, kindly provided by our previous registered senior community nutritionist/dieticians Richard Ball and Grace Campbell. Wishing you all a healthy and wholesome week.

Psalm 25:15-18 AS believers, we have a Father who loves us and desires the best for us. We are part of a large spiritual family with many brothers and sisters. But if that’s the case, why do we sometimes still feel lonely, even when there’s no major crisis in our lives? The greatest loneliness man can experience is due to separation from the Father. This is a spiritual problem whose source is sin. We experience a break in our close fellowship with the Lord when we disobey Him and go our own way. The remedy is confession (1 John 1:9), which leads to restored fellowship with God. If we refuse to admit our sin, the separation grows worse. Busyness and preoccupation with earthly affairs also cause this isolation. Sometimes we push aside time with God in order to fulfill our obligations. Or we might focus so heavily on daily living that we ignore Him. To overcome

loneliness, spend time reconnecting with God through His Word take in the knowledge From the Pulpit of His deep, abiding love, and meditate on His great promises (Eph. 3:16-18). Being in harmony with the Lord renews our purpose and energy for life. Then that sense of isolation lessens, hope replaces discouragement and our focus shifts from “self” to others. It’s important to reconnect with people, so look for opportunities to practise the “one anothers” - encouraging, serving, loving, and supporting those around you. When David felt isolated and lonely, he turned to the Lord and sought His help. Intimacy with God is both the antidote to loneliness and protection from it. Have a great week Pastor Wayne Brennan Cooktown Community Church
