The sweet sounds of our children’s voices
COOKTOWN State School’s Choir achieved a “Highly Commended” rating in each of the four sections in which they competed at the Cairns Civic Theatre on June 18. Looking fantastic in matching shirts, shorts, shoes, socks and even matching ribbons (for the girls) donated by the Cooktown State School P & C, the youngsters did their school and their town proud.

Call for ‘music precinct’ amid noise complaints By GARY HUTCHISON AMID personal fears Cooktown’s entertainment venues could stop providing live band music, local musician Michael Shay (pictured) is mustering support for his call for a “music precinct” to be established in Charlotte Street. Michael’s concerns come from interruptions he has experienced to performances at the Sovereign Resort Hotel because of noise complaints.
A “music precinct” could be looselydescribed as a designated area in a location, that is afforded special dispensation for noise levels and the times to which music can be played. “It’s not as though the music has been ‘that’ loud when the police have come to tell the Sovvy’s management to turn it down,” Michael said. “Sound travels at night, especially on a
very still night or when there is a strong wind. “But considering the pubs are providing entertainment that is being enjoyed by a lot of people, I think people have to accept that. “And that applies to other bands from out of town too.” He said that since the noise complaints have started, he has noticed a reduction in his band’s engagements.

Have water workers been tested for fluoride poisoning? REGARDING the current fluoride debate, I would like know some important facts. The Code of Practice for the fluoridation of public water supplies January, 2000 states; • A regular intake of fluorine above 6mg, .006gmsa day is likely to result in toxic effects that are collectively known as fluorosis. As it has a very slow onset, workers may notice nothing but increasing stiffness in the back; and • Fluorides exert their “toxic effects” by inhibiting vital body enzymes, disturbing many of the bodies chemical processes. Joints should be assessed for

On X-ray, the bones of affected individuals show increased density(arteriosclerosis) and some calcification of spinal ligaments may be noted. This report is just for the workers applying the chemicals to your water! One wonders what qualifications in chemistry do these workers have, have they been made aware of these conditions? How are the doses to be gauged as regards to body mass and age, e.g. children versus adults, different water consumption,
Rigs ‘not complying with Shire RV rules’
REGARDING the RV Park, Cook Shire Council - what have you done? Get your act together and honour your council rate payers. I think you have done a grave injustice to the rate paying caravan park owners of Cook Shire. What an insult to have a RV Park backing onto an existing caravan park that is paying rates to the Cook Shire. I have been observing the area over a threeweek period, and only two rigs complied with the criteria of not being able to fit into a caravan park. Why are you allowing other free loaders to take advantage of the RV Park? People who pay council rates to the Cook Shire are being denied the right to make a fair living. Shame on you Cook Shire! Please reconsider. Audrey Nicholson, Cooktown.
RECENTLY your readers will have seen comments from militant Trade Unions regarding proposed reforms of the electricity industry. The facts are that the Newman Government has commenced consultations on recommendations that have been made from an expert panel for reform in the electricity sector. The Government has not made a final decision on many of these recommendations and is seeking input from the community. The purpose of these reforms is to find ways to lower the cost of electricity. This will flow on to reducing the cost of living. The biggest question being asked is whether we can continue to do business the way we always have which has led to massive

public con can easily obtain the necessary fluoride for their purposes from chemists, whilst not requiring mass medication of the rest of us to follow some created agenda, apart from the heavy costs for its application by ratepayers! Cities all over the word have realised the folly of the fluoride con and are removing this toxic poison from their water supplies. The evidence is voluminous and can be viewed by any open minded individual on the net. It appears the Cook Shire Council still require it applied to keep the public brain impaired. B. Noyce, Cooktown.
‘If you don’t stand for something you fall for anything’ AS a member of the “outspoken minority” on the subject of fluoridation of town water supplies, I would like to point out that decades ago asbestos, thalidomide, leaded paints, petrol and tobacco were considered harmless. Now we know they are all killers. Some just take longer than others to present symptoms. Man-made chemical fluorides resulting from the waste production of agricultural chemicals (also highly toxic), have been and/or are used in rat poison, and as a neurological toxin

characteristics and physiological responses to this chemical? The generic name fluoride applied is a misnomer, the chemical used is hydrofluorosilic acid and is not even reagent grade, containing impurities such as lead, arsenic and mercury, and has never been tested for safety!

I believe it is important to have a conversation with Queenslanders about what is being proposed to find a way forward. In order to make sure Queenslanders are fully informed on this issue I have released the recommendations so everyone can see what changes are being recommended and how they will help to lower the cost of living. I would encourage your readers to have a look and make up their own minds.

in germ warfare. Even in minute doses fluoride not only weakens bones and teeth over long term use, but kills brain cells. I have not used a fluoride toothpaste (sodium fluoride) for 30 years, and recently found warning labels in the small print on a tube of Colgate. Is this new labelling? If I was told that five grams of a freely-given daily used substance was lethal - that would be enough to scare me off. A lot of websites pro-
A reason to buy local
I RECENTLY bought some equipment at Cooktown Everything Electrical and I wish to thank Neil and his staff for the wonderful service received. Not only did they answer all my queries, but also came to my house to solve some teething problems. Cooktowners, do not go to Cairns or further south to purchase items that you can purchase here, as you will not only help the local economy, but also be given hands-on support at home.

Cook Shire backs rejection of new job provider choice COOK Shire Council has thrown its full support behind Aurukun Shire Council in the fight to overturn a recent Federal Government decision to remove existing employment providers My Pathway from Aurukun and JobFind from Coen replacing them with Noel Pearson’s Cape York Institute (CYI). Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott (pictured) and Aurukun Shire Mayor Dereck Walpo are extremely dissatisfied in the decision and are adamant that My Pathway and JobFind are the most-appropriate agencies to deliver employment services to the Coen and Aurukun communities. An excellent working relationship had been established with JobFind and My Pathway, seeing many Coen and Aurukun residents in steady employment, rather than “training for training’s sake” as Aurukun Mayor Walpo described the prior situation. My Pathway has a proven structure to deliver maximum services on the ground of these predominantly Indigenous communities.
After a recent Remote Jobs and Communities Program (RJCP) meeting in Coen, Mayor Scott reported a majority rejection of the appointment of CYI. The existing provider, JobFind, had delivered excellent results in training and employment growth over many years and is a trusted organisation in Coen. “A resounding theme at the meeting was that Cape York Institute is seen as only a policy and strategy body with no practical experience in job provider services, creating unnecessary middlemanagement,” Mayor Scott said. “The economies of scale and network capabilities of existing providers across the Cape are obvious. “I urge the Federal Government to reconsider this blatantly uninformed decision which will be a backwards step for job placement and industry growth in the Coen and Aurukun communities.” Cook Shire Council has formally begun lobbying the Federal Government requesting that JobFind be reinstated as the job services provider for Coen.

The other is a 21-yearold Cooktown man who was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment after being found guilty of an assault committed on May 8. In details provided to the Magistrate by the prosecutor, it was alleged the man had assaulted a 39-year-old old woman by punching her in the face, causing bleeding to her mouth and pain to
her jaw. The defendant who did avoid actual jail time was a 50-year-old Cooktown woman who was sentenced to nine imprisonment with immediate parole, after she was found guilty of an assault committed on February 23. It was alleged the woman struck an associate over the head with a piece of wood, which caused a wound to the 33-year-old victim’s head, exposing the skull.

NEWS Max Giese was in the driver’s seat of the prize won by mum Kim, while big brothers Lucas and Archer were waiting their turn. The toy car is a replica of an old ute used to deliver tea. Photo: GARY HUTCHISON.
Giese kids now have their own car TEA drinker Kim Giese thought she’d take “pot luck” and enter a competition after seeing a display in Cornett’s IGA Cooktown store for the Bushell Tea Company’s celebration of 139 years of operation. On offer were 139 miniature replicas of the sort of utilities used to deliver its iconic beverage. So with her enthusiasm “boiling” over, she bundled up her three boys, Lucas, Archer and Max, and took them home where she set to work. But it wasn’t a simple case of putting pen to paper to enter, she had to “draw” on her computer skills to complete the application. However, with the right “blend” of keystrokes, she managed to “brew” up an entry worthy of one of the utes. And last Wednesday, she went to the IGA to show her boys what they can expect in the mail in about three weeks. Baby Max took an instant liking to the ute, as did Lucas, but big brother might just be a little too big to sit comfortably in the driver’s seat. Middle brother Archer was non-committal about his mum’s Australia-wide success. “It was a big surprise to win, that’s for sure,” Kim said. “But you’ve only got to look at the expressions on the boys’ faces to tell you it was worth a try. “And to top it off, Max celebrated his first birthday on Friday (July 5).” IGA store manager Paul Scott said there would have been thousands of entries in the competition. “Kim’s won one of only 139 of these cars right across Australia,” Paul said. “So she’s done very well.”
Inspection Program to start this month COOK Shire Council’s Approved Inspection Program, in an area bounded approximately by Endeavour Valley Road, Poison Creek Road, Oakey Creek Road and Wilton Access Road, will start later this month. Inspections will start on Monday, July 29, and conclude by Friday, October 25. The decision for the inspections was made at the February, 2013, meeting. The program was initiated for: • Monitoring compliance with the requirements of the Building Act 1975; • Monitoring compliance with the requirements of Cook Shire Local Law No. 3 Temporary Homes; and • Identifying issues relevant to the levy of rates and charges under the Local Government Act 2009, such as the current occupation and use of properties, structures on properties and kerbside collection levies. In conjunction with the purpose of the selective inspection program, a survey will be undertaken by authorised persons to ascertain: • If properties are vacant or occupied; • What form of buildings are erected on the properties; and • If the property is residential, commercial (farming or other commercial use), or a combination of residential and commercial uses.

Call for ‘music precinct’ amid noise complaints << From Page 1 “There are ‘music precincts’ all over Australia,” he said. “So why can’t we have one here in Cooktown, even though it’s a small place?” Michael said he accepted there would need to some discussion to agree on an allowable increase in decibel levels, along with leeway given to times for those levels to be acceptable. Sovereign Resort Hotel Manager Sally Kaye supported Michael’s proposal, saying the complaints against the venue have gone straight to the police, without the aggrieved persons contacting her. “We have been getting some, but it’s always been a case of the police turning up, telling us there’s been a complaint and that we need to turn it down,” she said. “But it would be good if people rang us so we could talk to them about their issues.” Sally said that when complaints have been made, they haven’t had to turn the music down a lot to satisfy the police requirements. She offered the opinion the number of complaints seemed to have increased since the hotel started having its bands playing on the new verandah. “In a bid to try and please those making the complaints, we’ve now got the bands playing back inside,” she said.
“But we also have the occasional sessions with soloists playing some mood music on the verandah for a few hours from four until eight o’clock on some weekend afternoons. “Will we also get complaints from that too?” She said the Sovereign provided a variety of different sorts of entertainment for the benefit of the whole community, but, that if continuing to provide that entertainment started to become too difficult, they would have to “seriously” consider their options. “If it all becomes too hard, it could end up in the ‘too hard basket’ and we’d have to think about dropping the number of band nights back dramatically, or stopping them all together,” she said. Cooktown Hotel (Top Pub) proprietor Brenda Krop said she and her husband, Eddie, also supported the concept, even though they had not experienced any complaints. “You’d have to have the ‘precinct’ run from where we are, right down to the Wharf where 1770 (Restaurant) is,” Brenda said. Inquiries made by the Cooktown Local News with the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulations (OLGR) have revealed that identity is responsible for the establishment of regulations in relation to noise and their policing in licensed venues. However, the establishment of a “music precinct” would be within the realm of the local government

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.

Exhibits draw high praise from the 1913 Show judges
The Cooktown Show committee of 1913. Photo submitted.
WITH our Show Day coming up shortly, I present here, portions of a report about the 1913 Annual Show, which appeared in the Cooktown Independent and other papers of the day. “The Cooktown annual show for the Year 1913 now past, stands as another item in the record of the energetic citizens of the town and district. A number of visitors came from Thursday Island, Port Douglas and Cairns, but owing to beneficial rains that fell in parts of the tin fields, there was not the usual quota from that locality. The old proverb of ‘Make hay while the sun shines,’ has been amended by the tin miner to ‘get tin while the rain falls’, ‘The races run a full Head.’ The weather was threatening on Wednesday morning, a strong south-easter blowing, bringing occasional slight showers, but after lunch the wind moderated and the attendance at the ground was quite satisfactory. On the ground everything went off well, the ring events in some instances causing keen competition and in others a good deal of amusement. The cattle section was well up to previous years in quality, although not as large a number was exhibited. The horse section was well represented, and the judge spoke in high terms of the quality of the animals.” The sections in the field were too numerous to report here, however I thought this event, Novelty Event, was the best of the bunch. The conditions of the competition were, horses to be ridden barebacked; riders to dismount, sign their names, mount and ride to a dummy figure, dismount shoot the dummy, mount and carry the dummy over three flights of hurdles back to the starting point. It resulted in a display of good horsemanship, the horses, most of them being ridden without spurs, jumping much better than in any of the other events of the day. With six competitors, Percy Wallace did the fastest time of l min. 7/10th seconds. “On Wednesday evening, a large number awaited the opening of the doors to inspect the exhibits of the 1913 show, and in a few minutes, the hall was crammed with interested spectators. Although the Cook is looked upon as a mining district only, the agricultural exhibits, on the authority of Mr Newport, were equal to those at the Ayr show, and superior to those of Townsville. English potatoes and cocoanuts, tomatoes and citrus fruits were to be seen side by side with the tropical Jack fruit, cotton and sugar cane. The exhibit of maize was equal in quality to anything produced in Queensland, while peanuts, certainly the most profitable crop for the amount of labor required were in evidence. An exhibit of coffee drew praise from Mr Newport. The quality was good, both in the bean, and manufactured article. One grower in Atherton clears on an average £60 per acre from his three acres of coffee, a result that should silence the bogey of ‘cheap labor’ that parrot cry of those who contend that this cannot be a white man’s country.” The women’s Industries section was well filled with the useful and artistic needle work. The school sections deserved the tribute paid it by Mr Douglas in his opening speech, for the work was fit to go to any show in the Commonwealth. In declaring the Show open, Mr H. A. C. Douglas, M.L.A., said it afforded him the greatest pleasure to be amongst them to fulfil that duty.
Legionella results delay A GLITCH in the delivery of Legionella samples has required re-testing of Cooktown Multi-Purpose Health Service, which will see a delay in the notification of results. Cape York Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Susan Turner said last week that results for Cooktown had been expected this week but, because of delivery delays, when the samples arrived at the testing laboratory in Townsville, they were found to be non-active and could not be tested. “We have therefore re-tested Cooktown again, but it will now be another five to seven days before the lab can complete the testing,” she said. “We do not now expect the Cooktown results to be available until at least July 12,’’ she said. Ms Turner said primary health centres and clinics were not being tested as they were not included in the directive from the Department of Health and were regarded as very low-risk as they did not have inpatients or inpatient showering facilities.

Kel showcases his hand crafts By ALF WILSON KEL Williams is a descendant of the Gugu Yimithirr and Gugu Yalanji peoples from the Cooktown and Laura areas and hand crafts wood sculptures. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture is showcased to visitors from around the world and many parts of Australia at the recent Indigenous Night Markets in Cairns. The Cooktown Local News was at the markets on the Cairns Esplanade where Mr Williams was displaying his excellent craft. Mr Williams had one of about 20 stalls which enables tourists and locals to purchase Indigenous art and craft from the people who make them. “I make boomerangs and use rainforest wood for my sculptures of barramundi and kangaroos, it has a beautiful wood grain and is soft to carve,” he said. “It is good to have an opportunity for us to display our work at these markets.” The markets are organised by UMI Arts, the peak Indigenous arts and cultural organisation for Far North Queensland, covering an Kel Williams with his sculptures hand-crafted from area that extends north of Cairns rainforest wood. tourists. to include the Torres Strait Islands, On August 16, UMI Arts will host the “Big south to Cardwell, west to Camooweal and Talk One Fire Concert” in proud partnership with includes the Gulf and Mt Isa regions.

COOKTOWN AMATEUR TURF CLUB’S 100 DRAW
Cooktown Caltex Manager Michael Czarnecki was on hand to help Cooktown Amateur Turf Club President Peter Staig present Mat Carey with his first prize trophy and cash for winning the men’s handicap race.
MORE than 150 people attended the Cooktown Amateur Club’s inaugural 100 Club Draw and celebration, which has been declared a huge success by its organisers. Held at the race course on Saturday night, the feature event was the drawing of the winner of the 100 Club and its plethora of prizes and advantages. Poison Creek’s Rick Reed was the lucky winner and he and his team will now enjoy a Marquee Package at the CATC’S November 9 meeting. Included in the package are a marquee, gate entries, race books, seating, tables, ice and a $500 drink tab at the bar. Rick, his partner and mates will be given the privilege of sashing the winning horse in a race named on the program after his business or self. But the benefits of the package don’t stop there. The prize also includes advertising for Rick in the program, along with relevant media advertising for the race meeting. Frivolities on the night included men’s and women’s handicap races down the straight under the headlights of strategically-placed headlights. While vision of the races was limited, there was no doubt as to the women’s winner with Sabrina
Ebermann on “Blonde Bombshell” taking out first by a short-half head from Melissa Thomason on “Split Pin” with Alice Taylor on “Teacher’s Pet” in third place. There was some controversy in the men’s race with some “jockeys” preferring to carry their ‘horses’ rather than ride them, which apparently was against the “rules”. Mat Carey on “Theodolite” was ultimately declared the winner, Clancy Ganfield on “Power On” was second with Michael Czarnecki on “Diesel” in third place. Fashions on the Field prizes were won by Alice Taylor and Tommy Dagg. Another winner on the night was Sonya Murphy, who outbid everyone in an auction for a bottle of Black Caviar Shiraz. CATC Treasurer Barry Innes said the club owed votes of thank to many people. “Firstly, there are the members of the ‘100 Club’ who supported us,” he said. “Then there are all those volunteers who found time to help. “Cooktown Caltex for their continued sponsorship must be included. “And we’d also like to thank all who attended on Saturday night and joined in the fun.”

IF you were asked who the Holy Spirit is, would you say He’s a ghost, a power, or a person? The Bible clearly teaches that God’s Spirit is a person, and He: • Is a member of the Godhead. The Trinity includes God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; • Acts like a person. He lives, testifies, teaches, convicts, guides, and speaks; • Has a personality, shown by knowledge, thoughts, will, and language (1 Cor. 2:13); • Has many names, including Spirit of Holiness, Spirit of Christ, and Spirit of God, which all indicate His divine nature; and • Can be treated - or mistreated - like any person: He can be lied to, resisted, obeyed, and called upon. Yet many believers don’t think of God’s Spirit as someone they can know. Perhaps these Christians have misconstrued verses that speak of the “Holy Ghost,” or received

These unseasonal flowers are not enough to deplete the spring’s display, but are welcome as an unexpected curiosity.

incomplete teaching about Him. Or maybe, when reading about His power, they assume “power” is all He is. It could even be that their church may have focused on the Father and/or Son to the exclusion of the Spirit. If we believe anything less than what Scripture teaches about the Holy Spirit, then we will experience far less of the victorious Christian life than God intended. That would delight Satan, because he doesn’t want us to know the whole truth. The remedy is easy: Ask the Spirit to illuminate the Scriptures about Himself so you can know Him in all His fullness. He’s the one who will help you find in Christ a life that is radiant, powerful, fragrant, satisfying, and victorious. What are you waiting for? Have an awesome week. Pastor Wayne Brennan Cooktown Community Church.
our Valley Road, I noticed no other mango tree experiencing this strange unseasonal phenomenon. So that throws up the theory of the mini-micro-climate that surrounds the tree at the wharf. Perhaps there “was” a cold snap in Cooktown in April, but this tree is unique: it gets a regular dosage of seagull crap fertiliser, and has a consistent torrent of warm (maybe even hot) air emitted from the flapping gums of the old fellas who gather beneath it? Who knows?
Entsch backs foster, kinship care program FEDERAL MP Warren Entsch, a longtime advocate for foster carer services, has backed a state government campaign to recruit new foster and kinship carers in Leichhardt. Recently launched by the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services, the “Is there room in your life to foster a child?” campaign is aimed at recruiting new families, couples and individuals to help care for the thousands of vulnerable children across the state. “In Far North Queensland alone there are over 900 children on child protection orders,” Mr Entsch said. “All these vulnerable young people need is a safe and supportive home environment, something many of us take for granted every day. “If any of you have the capacity to open your hearts, and your homes, to these children then I believe it’s something worth thinking about.” To find out more about the “Is there room in your life to foster a child” campaign visit www.qld.gov.au/fosterachild or phone the Foster Carer Recruitment Line on 1300 550 877.

There was fierce denial But yesterday, when searching for ham, He’d unearthed some whiskery strawberry jam And there’d been a resident ghastly smell. “It’s just something splashed. You can always tell.” “Are you sure about that? It’s pretty ripe.” “Of course I’m sure! Give the shelves a wipe.” So, with cloth in hand, and less conviction than hope, He began top shelf with a tentative grope; That exploratory probe bringing forth a, “Yuk!” “It’s gluey here. This dish is stuck. It’s yoghurt; the date’s 2-double 0-5; Guarding-ahh-cheese, I think, no longer alive. Hey, look! Cocktail Onions we shoulda ate About 5 years back, by the ‘use by date’.” Then, on second shelf, his face becomes stricken. “Here’s your smell; some long-extinct chicken. Whoops! Here’s a bit of dry, cracked custard Next to some pie which is gravy-encrusted. Here’s some old cake that’s wrapped in plastic, Stuck in beetroot juice (the colour’s fantastic) And hey, further down, here’s milk that’s spilt.” But his wife’s debunked with her shame and guilt. Then his voice drops into a horrified whisper, “Whh-oh! How about this vege crisper? Some cabbage and lettuce leaves have come loose And are drowning in an unspeakable juice; Probably from this pumpkin’s slime, The mildew from which has begun to climb. This tired celery looks lost and bereaved And, with these sick carrots, has gotta be heaved.” Thus a family conference where, both agreed, They needed new strategy, yes indeed! So, to ensure their fridge was a health food oasis, They’d clean it out on an - mmm - annual basis. By GREG SLACK
problem of birds invading their crops. Three farmers, one from Lakeland and two from the inner Tableland area will open the discussion and information from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection on what strategies they advise. “There is no doubt that birds foraging on newly planted crops can, and do, result in significant loss of productivity, but that is not all there is to the story,” BNQ representative Virginia Simmonds said. “What are the benefits the birds deliver and are there ways of dealing with the birds that enable humans to co-exist with them?” Ms Simmonds said that undoubtedly their benefits extend beyond their activities on crops. “Which brings in the interests of the wider
community, thus adding more complexity to the problem,” she said. She said BNQ had itself initiated a trial of one possible solution which needs to be evaluated. “It is our hope that by considering as many suggestions as possible, that some solutions will be found that suit all interests,” she said.
“And who better to turn to than the people who are grappling with the problem on a regular basis. “It is hoped that by bringing together as many ideas and solutions as possible that some viable and acceptable solutions will be found.” Tea and coffee and cakes will be served at the function.

Ban on sales of puppies, kittens in pet shops DOCTOR Patricia Petersen, Leader of the Australian Independents, says her party will introduce new legislation banning pet shops from selling puppies and kittens. Dr Petersen said the legislation will be introduced to protect animals harm and will also involve the introduction of harsh penalties towards animals. She said around 70% of puppies and kittens bought from pet shops end up at animal shelters. “We need to ensure that animals are properly protected,” she said. Dr Petersen said the Australian Independents would also introduce new legislation, which will see those who abuse animals see significant prison sentences.

CROSSWORD No. 156
SUDOKU No. 156
Your Lucky
Stars
CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd) Don’t spend too much time worrying about yourself. A friend has more serious things to worry about and needs your support. Romance. A trip away from home will give your relationship an unexpected boost. Leave all of your personal baggage behind and allow yourselves time to mend.
LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) Don’t turn down an offer to go out with friends. You need to “let your hair down” a little and give yourself the chance to meet new people and let off steam. Romance. Your partner knows exactly what you need later in the week. Don’t put up a fight. Instead, allow them to pamper you.
VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)
FOR KIDS
Try hard to be as easy-going as possible. Recently, you become annoyed over very small things; especially when you feel that people are wasting your time. Romance. You will be able to get on much better with your partner this week. Use this time to catch up on lost time together.
LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd)
A friend may put you in a difficult position this week. Make sure that, whatever happens, you do the honourable thing. Trust your instincts! Romance. Your enthusiasm for new activities is encouraging to others. Be sure to engage yourself fully in each endeavour and include your partner.
SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd) You may be feeling a little restless because the people around you are not quite as “hyped” as you are at the moment. It will be up to you to motivate them. Romance. Be careful not to smother your partner with too much attention. They may need more time to “do their own thing”.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st) Make sure that you are completely clear in your own mind before you act. You won’t want to be upset with yourself for making the choice that you did. Romance. Your partner may be feeling a little distant this week. Try to engage them and find out why they are spending time alone.
FINDWORD No. 156 A LAUGH WITH LOTSA
CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th) You will have to spend some time catching up with work around the house. In the process, you could make an interesting discovery. Romance. Other people will be much less concerned about your appearance than you think. Save your energy for more deserving tasks.
AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)
For all your printing needs – www.lotsa.com.au
MUDDY RIVER
Your work-life needs a boost at the moment. Change up your schedule to put new excitement into the day-to-day requirements. Romance. A promise which your partner made recently will soon be fulfilled. You need not doubt their intentions nor their ability to complete an agreement.
PISCES (February 20th - March 20th) A burst of energy during the week will help you to get on top of things. You will have enough time to complete all tasks; both dreaded and desired. Romance. A quiet evening at home may not end up quite as placidly as it began! Leave your expectations behind and enjoy what happens.
ARIES (March 21st - April 20th) You will have to report a colleague for their mistakes. It may be difficult for you to do, but it must be done. Romance. The Moon/Pallas Midpoint in your sign this week will help you to understand your partner’s recent concerns. They are concerned about you and have reason to be!
TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st)
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“
“
I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.
– Marie Curie
SOLUTIONS No. 156
A disagreement with colleagues at work will soon be resolved. Don’t take this misunderstanding too seriously. Learn from it and move ahead! Romance. You will become frustrated if you don’t manage to find a new outlet for your energy. You will achieve a lot if you direct your dynamism properly.
GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st) You may do things differently from other people at times. There is no need to change just to suit them. It’s good to have a variety of opinions. Romance. You may be a little quiet and uncommunicative this week; especially with someone you normally get on well with. Don’t worry too much!

Along the BLOOMFIELD TRACK
Woobadda Creek Bridge permit approved
TRAVELLERS come in all shapes and sizes. It’s school holiday time, so the average is smaller and family-sized. The Gorman family from San Francisco are passionate about conservation and nature. They loved hearing from Francis Walker at Wujal Wujal, learning a little about Indigenous culture, and chasing crabs along the beach. It’s what all kids, including Trip (11 years) and Elizabeth (7 years) do best. Learn while having fun. They loved trying new foods, so they tasted black palm fruit, green tree ants, salty mangrove leaves and the wonderfully-named snotty gobble fruit. Both kids are enormously interested in nature, and researched their trip well-before they came. Trip even writes his own blogs, yes, blogs, on technology. After their Australian experience, the family will spend 12 months schooling in London. These are parents who want to make a difference and are prepared to be different for the kids’ sake. Let’s have more of them in the Far North. This last Monday was windy
enough to blow Archer Point into Cooktown. The high winds made the magpie geese keep their heads well down under cover. Nowhere to be seen among the trees at Keatings Lagoon, they were instead, settled down on the opposite side of the Mulligan Highway, munching through the reeds. So, look around. Wildlife moves around in ways that are perfectly sensible to them, if not always to us. An overturned 4WD between Cowie and Donovan Range reminds us that the Bloomfield Track is busy with travellers, many of whom are unfamiliar with conditions, so please take the time to advise safety and caution to your visitors. Otherwise, the Track has been okay. A few ruts and corrugations are developing, so sidewise movement is inevitable at times. The final hurdle to the Woobadda Creek Crossing upgrade has been overcome. The Wet Tropics Management Authority (WTMA) has just announced they have issued a permit to Cairns Regional Council for the Woobadda Creek bridge. “A bridge design that will provide
greater safety measures and access, particularly in times of flooding, whilst minimising the impact on Woobadda Creek’s significant environmental values is greatly appreciated,” said WTMA Chief Executive Officer Andrew Maclean. “It is vital that we manage the Cape Tribulation Road Link to ensure that the remote, wild and undisturbed natural attributes remain an integral part of the driving experience - whilst protecting the integrity of the unique environmental and cultural heritage values of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. “It is envisaged that the Road Management Plan will provide further opportunities for self-reliant travellers and small tour groups to enjoy and appreciate the area. “The plan also recognises opportunities to raise the awareness of the environmental and cultural significance of the region to visitors

and community members. “The Authority looks forward to working with the local councils and communities to create a safer and more enjoyable experience for all road users including improving signage and interpretation along the Bloomfield and Daintree Roads.” It’s good news for locals and travellers seeking a wilderness experience. Improved safety, access, and enhanced appreciation through better

• Plan your treats and plan to have a reduced amount of your favourite snack food on a weekly basis. Completely avoiding high calorie foods for a long period of time will increase the likelihood of succumbing to binges and eventually “giving up” on your diet. • If chocolate is your vice (like mine), then buying smaller quantities of better quality chocolate might be an idea that works for you i.e. I use Green & Blacks Dark 85% Cacao, just a couple of squares takes that chocolate craving away, as long as you savour the moment and let it melt in your mouth; not wolf it down like there is no tomorrow! • Ensure that you don’t miss any meals. If you are hungry you might be tempted to snack on high energy foods.
If snacking in the evening is a problem, make sure you have got a good supply of more appropriate snack foods (see list below) in the house and no other foods to tempt you. Ensure that you have healthy snack options at work. Get yourself a good lunchbox with compartments for healthy snacks. Make sure you don’t forget to take your lunch. Plan your shopping trips. Ensure that you plan healthy snacks for the entire week. Make sure you have a meal before shopping. If you are unsure how you will go with reducing your less healthy snack foods, start off gradually, choose smaller serves of your less healthy snacks and eat snacks every other day
instead of daily. Here are some healthy snack ideas: • Fruit - include fresh fruit as quick, easy snacks. Also choose dried fruit or fruit canned in natural juice; • Fresh fruit skewers served sprinkled with cinnamon and a little sugar; • Baked or grilled fruit served with low-fat ice cream or custard; • Nuts - a small handful of nuts are a tasty, quick and easy snack choice; and • Crushed nuts sprinkled over low fat yoghurt or fruit. And here’s another tip - Flat breads can be heated in the oven as ‘chips’ or as a base for ‘roll ups’ or ‘wraps’. Keep up the good work everybody, if you have been following these challenges methodically you are over half way and you WILL be seeing some improvement!

Don’t lick your golf balls ALL golfers, please be aware that Phil fertilised the greens on Monday morning using a granular fertiliser, so the greens will be a little bumpy. Phil will also be doing a lot of watering this week to ensure the fertiliser soaks into the greens. Please try to refrain from licking your balls! A handful of members competed in last week’s Italian Restaurant Weekly Stroke competition. Competition was fierce between Kim Haskell and Peter Shields, who played together, both scoring a nett 63. Kim ended up being the winner for this competition on a count-back. Wayne King is the only member so far who has competed in this week’s Italian Restaurant Weekly Stroke competition.

Prizemoney comes at right time PRIZEMONEY from winning the Volunteer Organisation Obstacle Race at this year’s Discovery Festival could not have come at a better time for the Cooktown Horse Sports Association. President Raeleen Veivers said the $1500 from the Sovereign Resort Hotel-sponsored event was earmarked for the purchase of trophies and sashes, along with some other expenses, which will be incurred in the running of their two-day, 10-event weekend in August. “It’s been a big bonus winning that money,” Raeleen said. “It minimises the pressure on our usual sponsors.” To be held at the racecourse on the weekend of Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18, equestrian events for age groups ranging from 5-yearsand-under to over-35 include: bending,
stake race, flag race, double figure of 8, snakes and ladders, straight barrels, key hole, stump race, an age group barrel race and an open jackpot barrel race. Nomination fees and dress standards will apply, along with other rules. Camping and stables on the grounds are available, but those wanting to take advantage of those facilities will have to book. Charges will apply. Food and drinks will be available, while a bar will also be running. And not only will there be an extravaganza of equestrian skill, but a live band will be playing on the Saturday night to provide some musical entertainment for the occasion. For further information contact Raeleen Veivers on either 0428 695 609 or by email: rkvei@bigpond.net.au

Oyster manages rare achievement OYSTER was our host for this week’s run, and we haven’t been there since the famous night when she served us green spaghetti bolognaise for St Patrick’s Day. She had picked a wild and stormy day this time and the Cooktown breeze was being even more boisterous than usual, blowing over chairs and laying trees hard over. It was so windy that Oyster was seriously worried for her shredded paper trail. She was afraid it had all been blown away. The trail set off up the hill in the direction of the Events Centre, and sharp-eyed Hashers could follow it from the odd strands of paper caught in the grass. Of course, the rest of the pack were too busy gossiping as they walked, to bother searching, and they wandered all over the place. The trail dived into the bush behind the skate park, where we passed a secret smoking station complete with seating and a bong ready to go, then on through the bush until we emerged to a check near the school oval. Thermo quickly found the trail and we were off into the
bush again, this time on the other side of the oval. It is remarkable just how much bush there is around Cooktown, and we picked our way through the gloom to get home not a minute too soon. Back at the bash, GM Thermo was quick to celebrate Granddad’s 39th carton run (936), and No Name Kelly’s 6-pack run. She is leaving Cooktown this week, and to cheer her up, we gave her an embarrassing Hash name to take back to the USA. Next came Oyster, who managed to get lost on her own run - a rare achievement. Then there was F*&t who is practising for his 1400th run next week, and Sewezy and Offal who were indicted for their attack on the freedom of the press. They had tried to censor the truth about their misbehaviour last week. It was time to adjourn and try Oyster’s hearty stew, followed by a traditional baked dessert. Next week’s run will be at Moses & Yo-Yo’s. Just turn up at 5.30pm on Monday, July 15 to join the fun. Contact Moses on either 4069 5854 or 0409 686 032 for details. On-on! Lye Bak
Big shooting carnival starts Saturday SHOOTING enthusiasts are reminded the SSAA Cameron Creek Range will host the Northern Zone Sporting Clays Carnival this weekend. Competition starts with the 100-target Cairns Hardware Event on Saturday, July 13 at 1pm and continues on Sunday, July 14 at 9am, after which a barbecue lunch is planned followed by the Maranos 25-target Handicap Event. Trophies will be presented after that. It will be helpful if all members could attend and help. Contact Anne on 4069 5173. Congratulations to our club members Andy Gardner and Toby Graves who
represented Cooktown at the recent SSAA Zone Shoot held at Kurramine Beach, where they took out the top honours in the Combined Services Rifle event with Andy 1st and Toby 2nd. Toby also picked up two third places - one in the open class Rimfire Field Rifle and one in the B grade Metallic Silohouette Event. Toby Graves, Rifle Discipline Captain reports that practice and sighting-in for the Rifle Shooters was held last Saturday, then at Sunday’s practice, the Shotgun Discipline welcomed two visiting New South Wales shooters at the practice trial run at the Sporting Clay Range. Graeme and Stuart read the Cooktown
Local News and ventured out to join in the activities at the range. Wi t h t h e windy conditions, no one was able to target the mini clays and a number of the rabbit targets were safe - they were just too fast. Jim got a bit too close and personal with a snake that wasn’t very friendly, which is another reason why covered shoes are recommended when out on the ranges. Anne Williams Secretary

Ducks galore in double header

By WAL WELSH A T20 double header was the order of the day at the Queens Oval last Sunday. First up the Black Mountain Panthers took on Marton, with the latter winning the toss and electing to bat. Dom Aprile and Mitch Roe opened and were unstoppable and very lucky during their stint as they went on to put on144 runs in 16 overs. Glen Kulka put an end to that in his first over by bowling Mitch for a well-made 66. Pat Sorenson had been padded up waiting all this time, but could only manage a second ball duck as Glen rattled his “furniture” later in the same over. Rob joined Dom and the pair saw out the innings with the total at 177. Dom remained not out 72 and Rob 9 n.o. BMP in reply never really got going as a steady flow of wicket losses restricted any batting momentum. They were all out for 89 with sundries top scoring on 28. Robert Wilcox was Marton’s best bowler with 3-5 followed by Zane Stallan with 2-12, while Pat, Jackson, Ray, Dom and Rob finished with one wicket each.
The second match of the afternoon between the Council Diggers and Hope Vale Heroes was a very low scoring affair. Diggers won the toss and elected to bat. Not a lot can be said about this innings as only Jade McGowan 31, Steve Law 18 and Scott Stallan 16 made any real contribution to the score. Six batsmen scored a duck as the Diggers limped to a total of 87. Hope Vale did lose four wickets in chasing this total, with Preston Demaal 31, Phillip Walker 0, Harry Bowen 11 and Tim Rosendale 5 contributing for their team. Selwyn McIvor was not out 19 and Dylan n.o. 1. Best bowlers for the Diggers were Cameron Forward and Steve Law with two wickets each. Thanks to all who came down and supported the day. It was good to see a lot of spectators around the ground. Thanks also to all who helped the day go smoothly. This weekend will see another T20 double header at the Gardens with Council facing up to Marton at 9.30am and BMP and Hope Vale taking to the pitch in their match at 12.30pm.

Chat with Matt
G’day again, Well, this week sees us pitched against the Manly Sea Eagles on Monday night with both sides affected by State of Origin selections. Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott and Brent Tate will be doing their best to take Queensland to its eighth consecutive series victory, while big Jimmy Tamou will be donning the Blues’ jersey again in an effort to stop the Maroon tide. Is there anything more exciting than game three drawing close in a drawn series? I wish I could be there, but at this stage, I don’t even know if I will be lining up against the Sea Eagles at 1300SMILES stadium next week. I will be facing a couple of late fitness tests to see how my knee holds up after some running with the squad. Although I have been doing some running, how I’ve pulled up afterwards hasn’t been consistent. It’s been good and it’s been sore, so again, it will be a case of “better being safe than sorry”. The final decision will be in the hands of the medical and coaching staffs. I’m doing my best with my rehab. and other training, so now it’s up to them. Regardless of who lines up for them or us, the fans can expect a tough and exciting encounter, with the win enormously important to both sides. Manly just had a big victory against Parramatta on Monday night, but before that, they were on the end of a five-game losing streak, while we’ll be coming off the back of a disappointing loss against the Raiders. We will be lining up for our second win at home though. Anyway, look forward to some desperate football from both sides. People have been asking me about any future signing I might have with the Cowboys. All I can say at this stage is, that negotiations are still continuing between my manager and the Cowboys, but hopefully I will know something soon. I’ve been hearing the Three Rivers competition up home has been going through some tough times with thoughts at different times it might shut down. Apparently, it’s still going and there are new steps being taken to be sure it continues, but I’d like to encourage everyone up there to get right behind this competition. I know just how much everyone loves their rugby league there and it would be a shame to see the competition shut down for the lack of a few people putting their hands up to keep it going. Anyway, I’ll sign off for now, but don’t forget to tune in on Monday night and give us all the support you can. We do appreciate it. - Matt Bowen

Three Rivers League gets another life ALTHOUGH last Wednesday night’s Three Rivers Rugby League crisis meeting was poorly attended, those in attendance declared the competition was too good and too important to let die, vowing to do their best to resurrect it. President Peter Scott agreed to absorb the vacant Treasurer’s role, while Gary Hutchison agreed to becoming the Secretary until the end of the season. Fixture games were scheduled to have been
played last Saturday night, but the late notice prevented from that happening. However, there were enough players between the Backstreet Warriors, Wujal Wujal Yindili and Cooktown Crocs who did turn up at John Street Oval for a “scratch match” to be played. But for what was supposed to be a “fun run”, a tough, hard, fast and exciting encounter ensued, ultimately won by the Yindili, 42-24. The competition proper is expected to be re-started on Saturday, with officials from the Hope Vale Red Soil Rebels, Backstreet
Warriors, Yindili and Crocs having been contacted and advising they will have teams ready to play. A decision as to whether the juniors will be incorporated into a rugby league bonanza and a great family afternoon is still pending, with contingency issues surrounding the availability of enough transported still to be sorted. At this stage, the games scheduled for this Saturday will see the Rebels and Yindili doing battle from 5pm, with the match of the day between the Crocs and Warriors starting at the conclusion of the first game.
Upsets continue to thwart NRL tipsters TIPSTERS again struggled to find winners in round 17 of the Cooktown Local News Hinterland Aviation/Inn Cairns NRL footy tipping competition on the weekend.

the Tiger, TheFantasticMrs Fox, Kintaine, Maggie_P and Cameron Neill.
