Bev’s first vote

My father could have lived up to 12 months longer.

Hospital treatment under investigation By GARY HUTCHISON A GRIEVING daughter has criticised the treatment her father received at the Cooktown Hospital, saying her father could have lived up to 12 months longer if his terminal cancer had been diagnosed earlier. Belinda Wells has lodged a formal complaint to Queensland Health asking why Cooktown medical staff had not admitted her father, 67-year-old Lakeland resident Robert Wells, to hospital sooner to run the appropriate tests in diagnosing a cancerous tumour in his throat. Queensland Health has launched a “formal investigation” into the care provided to Mr Wells at Cooktown Hospital. Mr Wells died in Cairns Base Hospital on August 20 from what is believed to have been a tumour around his bronchial tube. Ms Wells told the Cooktown Local News she had been told by an oncologist in Cairns that her father could have lived

another six to 12 months. “The oncologist said the tumour they identified usually responded fairly well to ‘chemo’ and he could have had up to another 12 months with us,” she said. “And his life could have been a bit more comfortable too.” Ms Wells said she believed the Cooktown Hospital staff who had treated her father had assumed that her father, a former Tuberculosis and pneumonia sufferer and heavy smoker, was only suffering respiratory complaints and treated him accordingly. “The TB was seven years ago and he had given up smoking,” she said. “At one stage they did blood tests, but nothing was picked up - no one was testing for lung cancer.” She said her father’s ordeal started around late July when he was admitted to the Cooktown Hospital, when he was diagnosed with pneumonia.

 letters to the editor Local Gov’t Act authority questioned in ‘Locked Gate’ issue I TAKE this opportunity to congratulate Mayor Scott on his quick response to my recently published letter to the editor titled, “Lock the Gate”. The goal posts have not shifted and as previously stated trespass is illegal. The council is not legislated, and even if they were constitutionally recognised and had the right to legislate, it does not give council the right to take the law into their own hands and defy the law of the land, i.e. the law of the people, by the people and for the people. Council inspectors have no lawful right to enter private property against the will of the owner or occupier of the land, under section 133 of the Local Government act 2009. I draw readers’ attention to the fact that the Local Government act 2009 - which has not been enacted in the name of the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty: “i.e. Received Royal Accent” - as they are required to be, is that they are all dated after the 1988 referendum, the very referendum the Australian voters denied Local Councils Constitutional Recognition. These Local Government Acts were enacted, contrary to the “Will of the people”, therefore rendering all of these so called

acts null and void and of no legal force or effect. The referendum set to be held on September 14, 2013, and introduced by the Gillard Government concerning constitutional recognition of Local Government was for obvious reasons dumped by the then Rudd Government in July/August, 2013. Australia has two constitutionally recognised governments, i.e. the Federal Government and the State Government. Now to the surprise of the land owners and occupiers, the “Building act 1975” has been thrown into the ring as mentioned by the Mayor and published in the September 5 edition of the Cooktown Local News. nThis act has not been mentioned in any of the council’s previous correspondence to the affected land owners or occupants. The building act 1975 is under the jurisdiction of the Building Services Authority (BSA), which is a statutory authority established under the Queensland Building Service Act 1991 to regulate the building industry. Its primary function is to approve building standards on new dwellings and renovations, where as a licensed Building Certifier who is required to act

in the public interest, is required to carry out a specified number of inspections to ensure standards are met. The home owners are ultimately responsible for ensuring the inspections etc. are carried out, i.e. the home owner arranges with and gives permission to the QBSA Licensed Building Certifier to enter the property to carry out the specified inspections. There is no mention of building certifiers being able to carry out further inspections at their own discretion other than the specified inspections. Intrusion outside of these inspections requires a valid Search Warrant issued by a Magistrate. There is a clause which states, that if it is a farm building, it may be exempt from requiring a licence or permit under some

Full letter distributed FURTHER to the letter published last week regarding the inspection program, we wish to make it known that the full letter was not published. In the interest of the residents and ratepayers of Cook Shire, we have posted unedited copies on the noticeboards in town, distributed copies in the affected area and sent a copy to each currently serving Councillor. If you are unable to access the unedited letter and are concerned about this issue, please feel free to contact us PR and HC Rutherford, phone 4069 5461 or email: helen. rutherford@bigpond.com PR and HC Rutherford, Cooktown.

2 – Cooktown Local News 12 - 18 September 2013

THIS week’s winner of the $25 meat voucher in the Cornett’s IGA Cooktown and Cooktown Local News competition is a colourful landscape capture of Lakeland Downs from Kaz Price. Kaz was down at Lakeland on a work-related matter with her camera on hand and saw the photo opportunity. She said the composure and colour at the time she saw the image “just took her eye”. “So many good photos come from being in the right place at the right time,” she said. Photographers are reminded they now have until 5pm today, September 12 to submit their entries for this week’s stage of the competition. Kaz’s winning entry will be printed and displayed in a gallery the IGA has prepared in their store.

circumstances. It would be nice to have some positive feed back from our elected Councillors on the subject, after all, they were elected to represent you the elector. It must be noted that this “Approved Selective Inspection Program” was instigated under section 133 of the Local Government Act 2009 by the Cook Shire Council, and not under the QBSA Building Act 1975. It would be advisable for those who have had the inspection to obtain certification from the council department verifying the inspections that if you fail to do this, you leave the door wide open for further intrusion of your rights.

Cooktown Hospital treatment under investigation admitted. “They said they would send him to Cairns, but they kept him in Cooktown for three days,” Ms Wells said. It was there that a biopsy and CAT scan was done, and a large malignant mass diagnosed. “Backwards and forwards, all the time being unable to breathe, Dad went through hell,” she said. Susan Turner, Chief Executive, Cape York Hospital and Health Service said she would like to extend my sympathies to Ms Wells. “The death of a family member, especially a parent, is a particularly sad and difficult time

Mr Entsch said he was very proud of his increased majority and grateful for all those who had helped with his campaign and Saturday’s polling. “I greatly appreciate the support that came out of Cooktown and Hope Vale, along with the outstanding efforts of the volunteers who set up and manned booths, and

scrutineered the votes,” he said. “Everyone involved can share in Saturday’s success. “I think we are on the cusp of some great things and just looking at what is proposed to happen in this region, I think we’re in for some very prosperous times. “However if we - as a government - don’t assist in facilitating these opportunities, in three years’ time we will be judged accordingly. “I’d like to emphasise that Cape York is definitely open for business, and I look forward to working with the community in making sure we maximise our opportunities, particularly

in any person’s life,” Ms Turner said. “Dr Jill Newland, Executive Director of our Rural and Remote Clinical Support Unit contacted Ms Wells on Monday when we learned of her concerns. “Ms Wells has asked a number of legitimate questions about both her father’s condition and the care provided to him at Cooktown hospital. “As we have now begun a formal investigation into the care provided to Mr Wells at Cooktown Hospital, we are unable to make further comment on this matter. “We will share our findings with Ms Wells immediately our investigation is complete.”

“Five days later, the hospital discharged him, even though he was unwell and not a 100 per cent.,” she said. “Then a few days later, he was having trouble breathing at home, so he drove into Cooktown from Lakeland.” She said her father was so exhausted by the 80km trip, he could not walk past the hospital’s front gate, where he waited until his wife Vicki returned with a wheelchair. A former nurse, Ms Wells was highlycritical of what happened next.

Speaking with the Cooktown Local News, Ms Well said: “He was only seen by a nurse who sent him home with ventolin,” she said. “She didn’t call a doctor in, looked at his chart and made her own diagnosis. “It’s a call I wouldn’t have made.” Mr Wells found himself back in Cooktown the following day, but this time attending a private medical centre, where blood tests were taken and he was once again sent home. But within 24 hours, again suffering serious breathing difficulties, Mr Wells was forced to call an ambulance, which transported him to the Cooktown Hospital where he was

GAMBA Gamba (meaning Old Ladies in Guggu Yimithirr) was a celebration of contemporary art, ceremony and film held at The Tate Gallery in Glebe, Sydney from August 26 to September 1. The Gamba Gamba collective is made up of female Elders from Hope Vale and includes Madge Bowen, Wanda Gibson, Grace Rosendale and Dora Deemal. This was their first interstate exhibition and will by no means will be their last due to the roaring success of the show. The Gamba Gambas are quickly making a name for themselves in the contemporary Indigenous Australian Art Scene. Opening night of their exhibition attracted over 250 patrons through the door. Her Excellency Marie Bashir, the Governor of New South Wales officially opened the event and welcomed the Hope Vale Elders and community members to New South Wales. Other notable dignitaries included - Mrs Gina Fairfax representing the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation who kindly funded the whole event, Minister Victor Dominello for Aboriginal Affairs NSW, Noel Pearson, top Australian art critic for the Sydney Morning Herald John McDonald, numerous Australian art collectors, and commercial galleries from Australia wide.

Fairfax, leading Indigenous artist Tracey Moffatt and Australian art collectors. All Gambas, Hope Vale Art Centre staff, Directors Shane Gibson and Calvin Jack travelled to Sydney for the big opening event. Three-quarters of the show sold out on opening night with art collectors and commercial galleries going crazy over the works. A ll profits from the exhibition are returned directly to the artists and the Hope Vale Art Centre as The Tate gallery does not charge commission or hire fees for the space. The Tate gallery allowed the Centre to represent Hope Vale and the Gambas with no boundaries, making this exhibition a unique celebration of Guugu Yimithirr culture. This exhibition was 100% Indigenous owned and organised through the Hope Vale Arts Centre. All marketing and co-ordination for the event was managed by the Centre. The exhibition was co-ordinated by Centre Manager Tara Zaicz after the Gambas undertook a series of intense artist residencies with UK Sydney-based artist mentor Joel Dickens. Over 12 months, Joel assisted the Gambas in refining their contemporary designs and perfecting their production of extremely high quality Indigenous art. The overall aim was to bring Hope Vale artists’ professional profile to meet new

international standards. Over one year’s preparation paid off for the Gambas, staff and community. Due to the success of this exhibition they are aiming on bringing the Gambas to an International audience next. You can follow the Gamba Gambas on Facebook for regular updates on their creative adventures www. facebook.com/hopevalegamba.

Cooktown boatman Mark Mollison with his sons Riley (left) and Charlie (right). Story and photo By ERIC GEORGE IF you visit the Endeavour River mouth, one of the people you are very likely to meet is Mark Mollison, or Mollo as Cooktown knows him. He is a boatman and makes a living showing tourists the beauties of our river. I met him at his home in town for a chat about him and his way of life. I started by asking him how long he had been in Cooktown, and was surprised to find he has been here only three years. I had thought he was a permanent fixture. He laughed and said, “I probably am now. I was born in Bendigo, no where near the sea. My dad dealt in cattle and other stock. “I did a farm mechanics course in TAFE years ago. I did not like school very much. Then I had my own lawn mowing business. “I’ve always had itchy feet and I’ve been travelling since I was 18. I started in Tasmania on holiday, and that was when I decided I had to go and see it all. “I had a job in Sydney and stayed for a while. And in Melbourne for a while, then I had the opportunity to go to Darwin with a couple of friends. “I got a job on an orchid farm, of all things, working in a laboratory, growing plants in tissue culture. Orchids, mints, roses, and I got to go to Turkey with them. “I was in Istanbul for a month, showing people how to grow orchids. I loved it. Very friendly, and so much history around the place.” Mollo did not stay in orchids, because he had the opportunity to work on a pearl farm in Bynoe Harbour, near Darwin. “I started off just being a roustabout, looking after the shell grow-out. We would get the shells at about a millimetre in size, and it was my job to grow them up until they were big enough to operate on.” Mollo was growing the shells to the size of a human hand, and that involved keeping the shells clean, building growing panels and generally taking care of things. Initially the company was buying in the young oysters: “They look like a bit of pepper when they start growing in the tanks. “Once they get to a millimetre in size, we would take them out and make sure they don’t get eaten by crabs, or covered up by anything else that might kill them. “We just had to make them eat and grow, and not get killed. It takes about two years until they are big enough to be operated on, then they get their first bead inserted. “It takes two years to grow your first pearl. Then you can insert another bead and that will take about three years to grow into a pearl, which will be bigger again. “Eventually, after we worked out how to grow them out, we built a small marine hatchery at Bynoe Harbour. I had taken an Advanced Certificate of Applied Science in Laboratory Technology back in Bendigo. “I eventually told the boss on the pearl farm that I had done the course, and he said, ‘Why don’t we build

a hatchery?’ “I ran the hatche r y, l a b o r a t o r y a n d everything. We ended up selling that farm. The next one was up in Elizabeth Bay in north-east Arnhem Land. Then we built a brand new hatchery in Elizabeth Bay 30 miles north of Nhullunbuy.” It must have been a huge cultural shift for a boy from Bendigo to end up growing pearls in Australia’s north? “Well, I’m always out for adventure. I fell in love with the sea, and the ocean, and boats. It was pretty good. I just had to walk down the beach to get to the boat.” How does Mollo look back on his time in the pearl industry? “I loved it. It was the best part of my life, except for now with my kids. But it’s a single man’s job. I could not have done what I did if I had a family. “I moved back to Bendigo and grew a couple of kids, but that did not work out so well, so I came up here to drive my mate Andy’s boat. “He made it all possible for me to do dinghy hire and river cruises. I have got the Spex, a river cruise boat, and a couple of hire dinghies. We do scenic river cruises, for about two hours. “We find birds and crocodiles, it is just a nice relaxing couple of hours up the creek. “We mostly target the grey nomads, because we keep our prices down and we are nice and slow. The oldies appreciate my jokes better, I think. “We tell them a bit about the environment. We go up the Four Mile Creek or Marton boat ramp. My boys come with me too - they are good tour guides. “They know about the birds and the animals. They even know all my jokes, don’t you boys? What do you say when they ask you if you can swim in the river?” At this point, Mollo’s two sons who had been listening quietly to their father, joined the conversation and chorused, “Yes, you can, but you have got to swim fast!” I asked Mollo about Cooktown’s current drive to attract more tourists. “One way or another, everybody here relies on the tourists. We have just had a lot of good people pushing harder in the last couple of years. The whole town has been a lot busier than the last few years. “They are so many more people know about us and that is only going to grow and grow.” There is more to Mollo’s life than tourism: “My main job is being a single dad. That’s number one. The kids love it here. “They are both champion fishermen. When they grow up they will both have boats, I expect.” Then, as I get ready to leave, Mollo has something else to say. “I have to thank Andy Wilson, Bev Stone and Rex Button. They’re the ones who helped me and made it possible for me to get going here. “I’ve got to thank them.”

Wallaby Creek Festival

CAIRNS TO COOKTOWN

12th Wallaby to be bigger and better TO be nestled once again in the beautiful rainforest of Rossville’s Home Rule, this year’s 12th Wallaby Creek Festival will again be a three-day event held between Friday, September 27 and Sunday, September 29. And it just gets better and better, attracting more than 2000 visitors of all ages and all types, keen to enjoy celebration of music and arts in the North Queensland rainforest. From its humble beginnings back in 2001, the Wallaby Creek Festival has grown to be one of Australia’s best little festivals. The aims of the event has not changed since the beginning - to present new and emerging artists; to provide the opportunity for local artists to meet and network with others from the music industry and to have a mix of musical styles that will appeal to everyone and to bring music and the arts to far north Queensland. With excitement and anxiety bursting

at the seams, the hard working volunteers from the Cape York Folk Club have worked tirelessly to present a fantastic line up again this year. Appearing on the three stages is a brilliant line up of music from over 20 guests, including some of Australia’s well-loved festival bands such as OKA, Mason Rack and Rapskallion and Quique Neira, the famous reggae star from Chile, as well as showcasing artists from the surrounding towns and Indigenous communities. Breakfast with the Poets is always popular as are the many workshops, dance and fire shows, street theatre and vaudeville, sustainability and permaculture, bush tucker walks and walks to the spectacular Home Rule Falls. There is also a great children’s festival. Activities are plentiful and include storytelling, biodynamics for kids, craft, circus, dance, face painting, movies, the parade and much more! The festival provides an ideal September holiday destination for families. Free camping amongst the lush grounds at Home Rule Rainforest Lodge is available to all ticket holders. Food and market stalls are presented at the festival to tempt your viewing, tasting and shopping pleasures.

WATER WISE WEDNESDAYS Conserving natural resources Cook Shire Council is asking all residents to join together and get Water Wise. By instigating ongoing water conservation measures, Council aims to promote responsible and efficient use of town water. • • • •

Use sprinklers and hoses in the coolest times of the day when evaporation rates are lowest Put a bucket in the shower to catch excess water and use on indoor plants Turn the tap off when cleaning your teeth Designate one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle – this will cut down on the number of cups and glasses to wash

Put your hoses and sprinklers away for one day each week and commit to Water Wise Wednesdays A few simple adjustments to the way you use water around the home can make a big difference to your water rates – be water wise in the home, be water wise in the garden and help conserve Cooktown’s water by committing to Water Wise Wednesdays. For lots more great hints and tips on how to conserve water in your home visit www.nrm.qld.gov.au/waterwise.

Lyon Infrastructure has applied to the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) for funding to commence the Cook Shire Solar Project comprising around 25MW of the latest Solar PV technology. Cook Shire Council is very excited at the prospect of having such a massive renewable energy investment into our region, with many positive outcomes and economic benefits available, such as: Employment for up to 200 people during the construction phase, with ongoing operations and maintenance employment for 15-20 people World class research and development activities associated with the battery technology Opportunity for on-site training and education outcomes in the growth industries of renewable energy and advanced renewable storage technology Expanded profile of Cook Shire on national and international levels, delivering increased consumer and investor confidence in the FNQ region, with significant flow on effects Significant tourism growth expected for local communities and the whole Far North Queensland region At its July 2013 ordinary meeting, Council resolved to grant Lyon Infrastructure a three year option to lease over Lot 211 on RP 747574 (the old Lakeland Airstrip) with a further 18 month extension should it be required. This had been identified as the most suitable land area available to construct the solar generation infrastructure and associated facilities. Council also resolved that if the option is exercised, it would commit to working with the Lakeland community to provide access to a new or alternative airstrip in Lakeland.

100 Years On...

Early pioneer’s obituary after his 1913 death CAIRNS Post - Thursday, September 13, 1913 reported the death of one of the pioneers of Cooktown. DEATH OF MR PATCHING: “One of the oldest and most respected pioneers of the Cook district, Mr Charles Patching Senior, after returning from a holiday, apparently in the best of health, was seized with a fit of coughing and died of heart failure last night. He was 74years of age. Another newspaper report was more dramatic with a report of his son Mr C. Patching Junior, who was on his way home and was within a few yards of his father’s residence at the time, was quickly summoned to the scene, but the Angel of Death was swift, and all that could be heard in response to his pleading, “Father what is the matter?” was a quivering of the lips and a false mutter. The deceased gentleman was one of the oldest pioneers of the district, having come to Cooktown in 1873 by the second steamer that came here, bringing the first dray and pair of Draught horses.” Charles Patching was born c1838 at Brighton Sussex England to Benjamin Patching and Catherine Rogers. By the time Charles was 18, both his parents had died and he was living with his stepmother. At age 18, he arrived in Australia (Sydney) in July 1861,on board the Lord Worsley working his way over as an Officer’s Servant. It is possible that the discovery of gold in Clermont in 1861 lured Charles to the new field. The town reserve was proclaimed on March 25, 1864, although a gold field was declared in the area in 1862. Charles married Annie Elizabeth Crowley in Clermont, Queensland in 1867 and two sons, William Benjamin 1868, and Charles 1870, were both born in Clermont and daughter Elizabeth Helen was born in 1872 at Millchester (Charters Towers). The whole family arrived in Cooktown with Charles, and Annie gave birth to their third son Henry Endeavour in early April 1874, just six months after the arrival of the first miners. At first they lived in a tent, like most other early arrivals in Cooktown. According to the family story, this was opposite where the Captain Cook Monument is today. Charles was involved in a carrying business with William Webb. After a year or so, the family moved to Maytown where in 1880, Charles had a Wood and Iron store and dwelling, and also a lemonade factory in Maytown. In 1881, he owned a canvas shed at the Ida lease and in 1882, Patching and party had a 20 acre lease at Fountainville.

By 1886, they were back in Cooktown and lived in a cottage and also built a cordial factory behind the Seagren Building, where he lived and worked till his demise. His son, Charles Patching Jnr, was the first student to win a boy’s scholarship to the State school. He studied law and was articled to a Cooktown solicitor. From 1898 until 1930, he had his own practice in Cooktown. He married in 1898, and his daughter Mable was the only victim of the 1907 cyclone. By the time Charles Jnr died in 1935, the Patching family had been heavily involved with Cooktown for 70 years.

rodites. Females are the fruiters, one fella (for pollination) amongst 10 girls is a fair ratio (lucky boy), although the hermaphrodites can do it all by themselves! Now there are lots of theories on how to tell the sex of a Paw Paw before it flowers. One of the best is the old birthing one with the wedding ring hanging from a piece of thread circles for male or side to side for female. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste your time - thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sure way to tell, but the plants grow so fast they can produce flowers in as little as 10 to 12 weeks and thus begin forming fruit. Get them in the ground now, mulch and compost them and fertilise regularly for best results. They also prefer slightly alkaline soils so a regular application of dolomite wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, and once they start flowering, a bit of extra sulphate of pot-ash will give them a kick along. As the weather warms they will grow like the clappers. The plants may fruit for several years, although they will quickly grow beyond pickable reach, even with a ladder. You can either plant new seedlings and chop the old plant out, or alternatively, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a prolific producer you can

chop the plant back to a suitable level, place a tin over the cut (to stop rain/ moisture getting in), and the wound will heal and the plant will continue growing, more than likely multi-stemmed. They are tough plants that, once established will continue to produce fruit and flower if neglected. The trick is to find the correct place to plant. They seem to like growing beside concrete slabs or water tanks. And remember, if planting on the north side of a structure, it may be in full sun now but will be in full shade as summer nears. Paw Paws love the sun. And if that gentle Cooktown breeze encourages them to grow somewhat horizontally, then a stake or star picket may be needed until they develop bigger roots. Some interesting Paw Paw facts: Paw Paws (also bananas) are not trees but actually herbaceous plants; Paw Pawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s botanical name is Carica papaya - The Paw Paw tree is actually totally different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a native to North America and part of the Asimina family; Grated green Paw Paw contains an enzyme called Papain which is a good meat tenderiser; The same Papain enzyme has been used (injected) to treat herniated discs (not the exact same one that tenderised the meat though); and The white sap in the stems (and raw fruit) is latex. Oh . . . and the black spots I mentioned at the start. Strangely enough itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disease called â&#x20AC;&#x153;black spotâ&#x20AC;? (weird, ay). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually fungal spores which can be treated with Copper Oxychloride.

Along the BLOOMFIELD TRACK

‘Great Provider’ makes ‘Great Escape’

Story and photos By MIKE D’ARCY

ROLLO, the “Great Provider” and his Melbourne family Caroline, Liz, Sammy and Harry made a ‘Great Escape’ to Port Douglas last week, and an even ‘Greater Escape’ along the Bloomfield Track. They were, of course, escaping the Melbourne winter. The “Great Provider” is actually a St Kilda Restaurant overlooking the Marina. Great views but, hey, it is the big city after all and hard-working restaurateurs need a holiday in a peaceful, natural environment. And, they have to grab a break when things are quiet work-wise, even though it means dragging the kids out of school for a few days. The kids, Sammy and Harry, loved the bumpy ride along the Track, the croc down below, swimming at Woobadda, and the Wujal Falls with Francis Walker. Sammy even saw what she was sure was an emu or cassowary high in a tree, craftily disguised as a basket fern on a branch. Great spotting, Sammy.

Because we locals live amongst nature, we can sometimes get a bit ho-hum about it all, but we should never forget the simple natural things that are so wonderful and important for kids. Rollo and Caroline remarked on the unusual amounts of pumice floating on the beaches along the coast from Port Douglas to Cowie Beach. It’s left spectacular lines of pumice at the high tides marks. Pumice is what happens when volcanos erupt. The lava hits the water and cools into a fluffy grey substance which can float incredibly long distances through the oceans as a “raft” or “ark” and breaks up into useful little callous-removing blobs. They’re expensive to buy, so go and collect some in the next few weeks. In this case, the volcano erupted a year ago in the Pacific, about 8000 kilometres away, and a 20,000 square kilometre raft formed, gradually breaking up and spreading out through the Pacific Ocean and Coral Sea. What we do know about pumice rafts is that, over evolutionary history, they

have been able to carry large species (crabs and molluscs) long distances at sea. Many of our beaches have deposits of pumice and coral on, and up to a metre above the shoreline. One explanation is that about 5000 years ago, the earth was much warmer and the sea level was over a metre higher than now. So, what is now rainforest behind the sand dunes was once coastal mangroves. Strange but true. Local State member David Kempton announced that the Bloomfield Bridge will definitely not be completed before the Wet Season. It’s great to be kept informed. I also hear on the grapevine that the core testing for the re-designed bridge has shown results inconsistent with the earlier testing. Sigh. More delays on the way? Cairns Council has graded the bumpy Donavan’s Range and work is improving the Track greatly. Better news. Happy travelling!

Stress management: How to deal with the burdens of life

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?”. Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied: “The absolute weight doesn’t matter, it depends on how long you try to hold it,” he said. “If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem, if If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. “If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance.

“In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” He continued: “And that’s the way it is with stress management.” “If we carry on our burdens all the time, sooner or later, the burden will become increasingly heavy and we won’t be able to carry on. “As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. “When we’re refreshed, we can carry

HAVE you had anything to rejoice about lately? Did you know. . . . . “Joy is an obligation”. The apostle Paul repeats the call to “Rejoice in the Lord!” ie “keep on rejoicing”.(Phil 4:4) And yes, do it always! How can we? Consider these. . . . . “Joy is a mindset rather than a particular set of circumstances”. We can choose to live life joyfully! Happiness is tied to circumstances: we are happy when things go well, when we are promoted, when we hear the applause, when we know success. But happiness disappears when life is tough: when sickness comes, when someone we love

Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. So my friends put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don’t pick it up again until after you’ve rested a while. Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life: • Always keep your words soft and

dies, when we face an unpleasant task, when we have to endure criticism. We do not enjoy those times and frequently say, “I’m not happy about this”. But. . . . . “Joy is different from happiness”. Joy is an attitude, an approach to life rather than a reaction to life. Joy is a way of looking at life that is unaffected by circumstances. Paul rejoiced in prison (there because of his faith) and he rejoiced as he faced possible execution. Joy is independent of our circumstances. “Joy has its foundation in the Lord”. Joy comes into our lives because of our relationship with Christ.

VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd) You must be a little more careful with your health. You have been under a fair amount of stress recently and could be out of condition. Romance. You will have to cope with a problem that you thought had already been settled. This time around, you will have a more effective solution.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd) Don’t allow somebody with much less energy hold you back. You may be better off making your own decisions and letting them go their own way. Romance. Don’t spend too much time thinking about the past. You need to take into account changes which have happened recently.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd) Your parents may seem to be interfering in your life. Don’t be too hard on them. They are only trying to help. Romance. Your partner will introduce you to a new sport. If you aren’t initially good at it, don’t worry. Enjoy the time you can spend with your mate while perfecting your skills.

FOR KIDS

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st) A call from out of the blue may cheer you up. This person will want to talk for ages, but you will be glad they phoned. You may not have realized just how much you miss them! Romance. Your partner will be with you non-stop. Revel in this time together as next week will be busy!

CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th) Try to think up a pleasant surprise for a good friend. They are feeling a little down at the moment and could use a good deed. Romance. A romantic offer should be taken up. The person concerned will be serious, but if you don’t act immediately, you won’t get a second chance.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)

FINDWORD No. 165

Don’t make a decision based on emotions and against your better judgement. This is not the time for a rash move. Romance. Don’t get too wrapped up in your own thoughts this week. Your partner will be disappointed if you don’t communicate with them about your true feelings.

A LAUGH WITH LOTSA

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th) Your curiosity will be aroused by an article which you read in the paper. Try to ﬁnd out more about this. It will be the main topic at work in the coming week. Romance. Make sure that your partner supports any moves which you plan to make. You may need some moral support!

ARIES (March 21st - April 20th)

MUDDY RIVER

This week will bring you many ideas. You will be disappointed if your feelings are not taken seriously. Emphasize the importance of your words! Romance. A meeting will end up becoming more signiﬁcant than expected. Put your best foot forward by being thoroughly prepared.

TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st) The Moon/Mars Midpoint presently moving through your sign may make you a little too aggressive. Channel that anger into more useful forms. Romance. Your partner may be too lenient with their family. If you feel they’re being taken advantage of, be sure to speak up and support your mate.

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st) You will need to keep better track of your ﬁnances. You have enough coming in, but you are not sure how much you have going out. Romance. Your recent health improvements may have inspired your companion to go and do the same. Show your gratitude for their accomplishments.

CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd)

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

– Robert Frost

SOLUTIONS No. 165

One area of your life will be ﬁnishing and a new one starting. You must assess your options and make certain that you are heading in the right direction. Romance. A chance meeting with a friend will have important repercussions. Be careful not to confuse your own desires with their needs.

LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) An amusing incident at work will help to cheer you up. The person concerned might not ﬁnd it quite so funny, however. Curb your giggles in front of them. Romance. You will be concerned about a minor health problem. You can resolve the issue with diet and exercise improvements.

Kuku Nyungkal Traditional Owners along with South Cape York Catchments and Wet Tropics Management Authority representatives celebrating the unveiling of the Bana Yaralji visitor information booth. Photo submitted.

Shiptons Flat info booth now open THANKS to a joint effort from the Bana Yarralji Rangers, Wet Tropics Management Authority (WTMA) and South Cape York Catchments (SCYC), visitors and locals alike can now benefit from a new information booth located on Shiptons Flat Road. Signage displayed in the booth will educate visitors traversing onto Kuku Nyungkal bubu (country), which is also located within Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Kuku Nyungkal Traditional Owners of the area identified a need to inform visitors of their culture and bubu as visitation to these areas is on the rise. Traditional Elder, Alice Nandy spoke at the recent unveiling of the booth: “Our bubu here is good, this bubu belongs to everyone.”

My heavenly moment in time I used to live out Rossville/BloomWriters’ field way where we tin-mined Corner surrounded by the bush, boulders, bouncy roads, babbling brooks, beasties and bugs - and beauty, of course! Have you scribbled any reminiscences of rugged places, in verse or prose, suitable for our column? Email them to either: editor@cooktownlocalnews.com.au or thekellers@bigpond.com or send them to P O Box 645, Cooktown, 4895. Dianne Keller Cooktown Writers’ Group. “My Moments In Time” Took a rare journey along the Bloomfield Track. *m We rattled along the brown slashed through rainforest green With black bitumen a brief blessing for bouncing bones. This was a journey that evoked the past; Tin-mining days dredging in creeks and dwelling in bush; Open campfires in Wet Season or Dry; Learning, smiling, to live on a wish and a prayer When I adventured tough with nary a whine. My nicely nostalgic moment in time. Firstly, to The Bloomfield Show Pavilion. * I browse the exhibits, contrasting orchids exquisite With children’s vivid, naively dancing daubs; Fall in love with a canvas I ache to possess; Chat with a young Mum suckling her babe, Escaping to quiet, adrift from the crowd, While roosters, caged, ignore ribbons and protest poultry-loud; Then I exit, sliding slowly past photographs prime. My studiously thoughtful moment in time. Then time to go shopping at The Fair. * I buy bright embroidery, from foreign Indian climes,

With elephants rampant, trunks raised for fair times, And, in cheery orange, a birthday necklace to celebrate. Hungry, I feast on tropical fruit nectar And pies, tasty pies with crunchy, crunchy salads; Watch the wood-chopping as laughter tinkles in trees And carry home cake with character and chocolate meltingly sublime. My colourful culinary moment in time. Next, to The Gallery. * Called “The Black Cockatoo”, emblem on the glass doors; A habitat well-tended with wooden building well-blended. I enter, planning my walls adorned with works of wonder But consider the purse and thrust these hopes asunder. Nonetheless, I musingly, through objets d’art, meander Then partake of coffee, on silver salver, on verandah With shortbread, so creamy yellow and mellow and fine. My serenely sensual moment in time. Lastly, a jaunt to Weary Bay. * The piece de resistance! Here, Man, thankfully, refrained from refurbishing And the beachy crescent curves from sentinel to sentinel, Where The Old Bloomfield slithers into the sea, And the vista varies naught from what God dreamed in The Beginning. My toes in the sand I wiggle; the waves slap and I giggle. Homeward-bound, I am speckled in salty grit and grime. My happy, heavenly moment in time! By DIANNE KELLER

Round-robin to decide Three Rivers League season AFTER a season punctuated by numerous forfeits and suspensions of its competition, the Three Rivers Rugby League will use a roundrobin competition next Friday, September 20. to decide its champions. The competition, consisting of the Hope Vale Red Soil Rebels, Hope Vale Backstreet Warriors, Wujal Wujal Yindili and the Cooktown Crocs enjoyed two highly successful seasons in 2012 and 2013, but it all went haywire this year with players first objecting to paying their

own insurance costs, and then changes to their accustomed Friday night games. While Three Rivers and team officials exerted their best efforts to resurrect the competition at various stages of the season, they were not supported by the rank and file players. Teams and their supporters have been asked to arrive at the John Street Oval at 4pm for a 4.30pm start to the round robin. Each team will play three games, the duration of which will be 20 minutes.

There will be an unlimited interchange rule adopted for the afternoon, but all players must be registered and have turned 17 years of age. The winner will be the team with the most wins. In the case of a draw, the points for and against differential will decide the ultimate champions. After the games, the players, team officials and their supporters are invited to the PCYC Cooktown Events Centre for a NAIDOC dinner

and entertment. DRAW The round-robin program is as follows: . 4.30pm - Crocs v Rebels; . 5pm - Warriors v Yindili; . 5.30pm - Yindili v Crocs; . 6pm - Warriors v Rebels; . 6.30pm - Crocs v Warriors; and . 7pm - Rebels v Yindili.

Barbarians take Super 8s title

Hash rumour proved true YET another motley crew of Cooktown Hashers gathered for their Monday run, maybe walk, or could be stroll around the environs of beautiful Cooktown. The trail was set on good old toilet paper although the clues were a bit far apart and favoured the long sighted. The trail finally led to a hill top view of the Endeavour River which was worth the climb. What goes up must come down, so on we went to find the drinks stop which was rumoured to be at Hans Looser’s Look Out. For once the rumour was true and there really was a drinks stop, the fruit juice was good, but the ice was over done. Back at Stumbles’ and Xmas’ place, the tales of the Hasher’s Saturday Rock ‘n Roll party gave every one a laugh, but all agreed it was a great night. Soggy was voted the star of the night for her 60s style make over. Next, Queen Thermo called the circle and asked for charges. Nostrildumass got one for being Foot Loose, Granddad for not sticking his foot out, Soggy for first time sewing, Fakawe for a fake snake, Oyster for 12 cartons and Seweasy for 14 and1/2 cartons. Xmas got one for misleading information about the run and Titus didn’t get one for his new shoes. Next came the food. The pumpkin soup was great, the curry was very mild and we all enjoyed the ice cream, especially after the joke. Feel free to come and join us on our next run on Monday, September 16 at 5.30, which is at Fakawe’s. For more information, contact 4069 5180. Happy Hashing. On-on Crak Bak

THE annual Super 8s carnival was held on the weekend with entertaining cricket played at both the high school oval and the Botanic Gardens. On Saturday at the school, Mouldy Oldies, Sons of Guns and the Black Mountain Panthers faced off, with the Mouldies missing out on reaching Sunday’s finals, while down at the Gardens, Morton, Barbarians and MTC (Ladies) played their round robin games. Despite a valiant effort, the girls missed out on playing in the finals. It was all good fun, but there was still another exciting and fun day to be had. Sunday morning at the Gardens saw the Barbarians facing off against the Sons of Guns in the first semi final and Morton and BMP in the second. In the first semi, the Barbarians won the toss and elected to bat, with openers Brendan Payne and Mick Mason scoring freely before their run was stopped by Brodie Welsh. Despite losing a couple of wickets, the Barbarians were able to complete their allotted 14 overs to finish with a score of 136. The Sons of Guns opened fearlessly in their run chase, but fell just 11 short of victory in a great effort. Morton batted first in the second semi, but their innings was shortlived with only 95 posted to defend against the BMP big guns who eclipsed their score with five overs to spare. Bolstered by a great lunch whipped up by Helen, Katrina and their little helpers, the grand final combatants took to the wicket. The Barbarians batted first with Payney and Harry Bowen. Tight bowling in the first few overs kept

the scoring low until Harry went berserk in the fifth over, belting 32 runs off Clive’s first over. However, he was soon out for a quick fire 38, which brought Dom to the crease. Payney was out a couple of overs later for a solid 45 runs. This brought Captain Scott to the crease. Dom played a supporting role as Scotty teed off and belted 71 runs over the next six overs. Dom remained not out 23 with the total on an impressive 205. Eril and Geoffrey opened for BMP and started with their usual blazing shots, but Eril was out for four in the second over, which brought Lomas to the middle. He made seven before being brilliantly run out by Zane. Clive joined Geoffrey and kept the runs flowing with some lusty hitting. Geoffrey was eventually out for 60, which brought Adrian to the crease. The runs kept flowing to see Clive on 21 and Adrian on 36 before their wickets fell, which left Jias and Tyrell to take the Panthers to victory. And with 25 needed off the last over, the game was still not over until the last ball was bowled. Unfortunately the boys fell only a couple of runs short to end a run fest which saw over 400 runs scored over 28 overs. So the new team, the Barbarians are the 2013 Super 8s champions. A big thank you goes to all that helped over the entire weekend, and thanks to all the local businesses that supported the Cricket Association with their kind donations. This weekend will be a rest for the cricketers as some of them are going Hog Hunting. The next game will be on Sunday, September 22 at 10.30am when Marton take on the Council at the Gardens.

A REALLY good field competed in last week’s Italian Restaurant Weekly Stableford competition, with some good scores returned as well. Graham Burton just managed to win the event with a score of 36 points with Mick Mason just behind on 35. Only four teams came out to contest last Saturday’s Rainforest Real Estate Multiplier Stableford, with ladies making up the majority of players. The team of Julie Sauer and Tanya Eizenberg were declared the winners for the day on a count-back from Steve Butler and Graham Burton. Both teams returned with a combined Stableford score of 73. All of the nearest-the-pins were landed, with Graham Burton claiming 2/11, Steve Butler for 14 and Tanya Eizenberg for 9/18.

WE had another good turn up for last Wednesday’s Sunset Shoot, with 10 shooters taking part in a 45-shot Service Pistol Match. The rain tried to dampen our spirits and our scorecards, but we didn’t let it ruin our night. The competition was very close, with Janne taking out first position with a score of 395, second went to Mal with a score of 393 and third was taken out by Ross with a score of 362. September dates for your diary include: Saturday 14 - Service Shoot from1.30pm;

Stroke competition, with Graham the winner with his nett score of 32. With Steve and Graham only playing 9 holes on Sunday, this week’s Italian Restaurant Weekly Stroke competition is open slather. This week’s competition is being played off the white tees. This Saturday’s competition is the Cooktown Hardware and Italian Restaurant Monthly Medal competition. As with all Monthly Medals, the men are to play off the white tees and the ladies off the red tees. Just a reminder to members, the Club currently has a raffle going and you can purchase tickets from the Club House. The raffle is valued at over $120.

Chat with Matt

G’day again, Well, we made it. We’re in the final 8 on the back of what finished up being a pretty good win against the Tigers at 1300SMILES Stadium on Saturday night. But it took a half-time “rev” from our coach Neil Henry to get us in the right frame of mind for the second half, because we started pretty slowly. We were all over the place in the first half at times, and it all seemed as though our minds weren’t properly on the job. I know mine was, but I can’t really put it down to any one thing as to why we started that way. Some people have floated the theory that knowing we were safe in the 8 after the Titans and Warriors had suffered earlier defeats might have affected us. Personally, I didn’t know those results and I am not too sure that many of the other boys knew either. Then there’s the school of thought that maybe the pressure of the previous few weeks, having to win every game, might have played its role too. Again, I didn’t feel that way. The talk we had amongst ourselves at half-time and the rev we got from the coach got us on track though and the result showed on the scoreboard. Obviously, it was a very emotional night for me, being my last NRL game at home.

It was wonderful to be able to share it with all my family and friends and the fans who have been so loyal to us all these years. Being able to take Diaz, my daughter and ‘MJ’ my son out with me through the tunnel was extra special too. And it was special for the kids too - something they’ll remember the rest of their lives. Diaz was a little fazed by it to start with, but she seemed to be soaking it all up an enjoying it after it was all over. As for life after this season, I really expect that to be decided in the next week. You know, I don’t think I scored any points in my debut game when I was 18 going on 19, so finishing at Townsville with two tries and one conversion made me very happy. You never know if you will end up with any tries at the end of a game, so getting two was great. And I’ll be trying hard to get across again in Saturday’s knock-out game against the Sharks. Sudden death footy puts an extra edge on to everyone’s focus and attitude towards a game, but we’ve been playing sudden death for the past six weeks, so we should be pretty much used to it by now. We had a bit of a fumble with last week’s first half, so now it’s time to get back on with the business for the rest of the season. We have the momentum that successful finals teams need at this stage of the season, so that is a

confidence booster too. Injury wise, I’m OK, but still a bit sore after the game. I think the rest of the boys are all good too, but we won’t know until later in the week, or in Matt Scott’s case, maybe game day as to his availability. He’s still trying to get right from the surgery he had on his broken finger and if he does play this week, it will be a week ahead of the time frame his surgeon gave him. So at this stage, Matt’s availability is a bit of a wild card. But you’d be kidding yourself if you didn’t think that having the current world’s best prop back in the side wouldn’t be a big bonus. However, if he’s not there, like always, it’s a case of everyone having to lift that extrat notch, but in sudden death finals football you can expect that. The Sharkies have their injury problems too, but you can guarantee that regardless of who turns up for both teams, it’s going to be one hell of a game. Anyway, I’ll be out there doing my best. I don’t intend wondering, “what if” from my own perspective after the final whistle. Don’t forget to tune in. We appreciate your support. Until next week - Matt Bowen.

Wombat_101 is a clear winner in NRL footy tipping comp. WOMBAT_101 has won the Cooktown Local News/Hinterland Aviation/Inn Cairns NRL footy tipping competition after finishing six wins in front of the field. Wombat_101 finished the competition with 138 although scoring only four in the final round of the competition to finish well in front of joint second-placegetters TheFantasticMrsFox, who could manage only three winners in round 26, and Beagleb2, who scored five, with both scoring 132. Wombat_101 dominated the competition for so long, and seemed to have the competition won a long way from the end, with his lead at times out to seven.

On the tipping website, Wombat_101 said on Sunday: “Shocking tipping but enough is enough. Good form early in the year has done the job.” The final round proved to be one of the most difficult of the season for tipsters. Upsets started as early as Friday night when the Broncos downed the Bulldogs, followed by the Dragon’s win against the Warriors (only Gracie was right), and no one tipped the Panthers to account for the Sea Eagles. Although not regarded as an upset of significant proportions, most tipsters missed out when the Roosters down the Rabbitohs. Such was the nature of the round, no tipster

Tide times – Cooktown

got eight, seven or even six correct. The best was five wins by Beagleb2, Camf, Prickly, Wazza, FNQ_Chris and Harry the Bear. Final results were: 138: Wombat_101 (4). 132: TheFantasticMrsFox (3), Beagleb2 (5). 130: Eye of the Tiger (2), Nikki (4). 125: Camf (5). 123: Prickly (5), Matthew Thompson (4). 122: Wazza (5). 120: Maggie_P (4) 119: Pootie Tang (2). 116: Whiteyfunk (4), bubsie1981 (3).
