The Cape will be protected By Giembra Busmer

DESPITE the Wilderness Society’s claims last week that “Cape York Peninsula is being converted into a mining zone� Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council chief executive officer Amos Njaramba is adamant mining exploration will not impact sensitive areas. The Wilderness Society’s warning came last week as public consultations ended for Cape York’s latest in a long list of mining proposals, Oresome Minerals’ Urquhart Point mineral sand mine on the Cape’s north-west coast. Northern Australia Wilderness Society campaigner Gavan McFadzean said, “It’s absurd that another mine is even being considered on Cape York while a World Heritage assessment is about to confirm the universal natural and cultural values of the region. “This new sand mine earmarked for the sensitive coastal dune systems of Cape York’s north-west coast is a concern in itself. But even more alarming is that the Environmental Impact Statement reveals plans for a massive mineral sand mining program that extends north from Weipa all the

way along the west coast to the tip of Cape York. “Oresome Minerals has been granted four mining leases and has applied for no less than ten more Mineral Exploration permits. The cumulative impact of this chain of sand mines would be devastating to the spectacular coastline and natural values of the north-western Cape.� Mr Njaramba however stated that the Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council, it’s Land and Sea Rangers and Traditional Owners were devoted to protecting the delicate Cape York areas under their jurisdiction and exploration would have no impact. “We are developing tourism strategies for areas such as Pennefather Beach so it would certainly not be in our interests to have these areas destroyed by mining exploration,� Mr Njaramba said. “Consent to explore has to be given by the Napranum Aboriginal Shire and we get dozens of requests, not just from the Oresome company.� “Each request is looked at on its own merits before permission is UU continued page 2 granted.�

Mr Njaramba said historical, cultural and environmental values were considered when an application to explore was lodged. “It is our job to protect both the land and sea in our area and we take this very seriously. If we felt exploration was going to impact these sensitive areas consent would definitely not be given.� Eight new bauxite, sand and coal mines are proposed for Cape York, with about a quarter of the region under exploration for further mines.

Eye f the

o Cyclone THE Solar Eclipse is coming yeah! On November 14 a wide band of shadow will cross Cape York and Arnhem Land as the moon gets in the way of the sunlight. It’s going to be a fantastic sight, as long as we have a clear morning. A once-in-a-life-time event and definitely worth getting out of bed for. In fact, it’s going to be a

big party. So big, that them up there have called in a team of international party experts to create a modern music festival. So far they have lined up at least 150 internationally reputable bands. At least, I suppose they are reputable. I don’t recognise any of them, but I guess Slim Dusty and Frank Sinatra are too busy to come. There’s going to be all sorts

of attractions that call themselves ‘alternative’. If you feel crook, you can wander down to the Healing Sanctuary and get your problems fixed using the curative powers of Sound Activation, Om Healing Circles or Australian Bush Flower Essences. If that doesn’t get you skipping around like a newborn lamb, then it is probably too late for you anyway. Now it’s important to understand that you are not allowed to do anything for yourself. You will have to camp (there’s a shortage of good motels at Maitland Downs), but the good folks building the facilities have been stripping the bush bare and burning it, to make sure you can’t have a fire to boil your billy. If you want a cup of tea or breakfast, they are available - at a price.

Yup, I’m afraid that money plays a big part in it all. If you rush, you can get cheap admission tickets right now. A bargain at only $350 each. Really - $350. A bargain, because if you want to buy a ticket at the gate it will set you back $500. That’s just pandering to the foreigners, of course. Us locals need something different and Cook Shire is completely ready to help us. They have released a really helpful fact sheet, listing exactly which planning regulations we will have to follow if we want to join in the fun. Really - look at http://www. cooktownandcapeyork.com/ news/media/eclipseguidelines and weep. Good to know that some-one has a sense of priorities.

Patient Travel Subsidy doubled THE Member for Cook, David Kempton, has welcomed the announcement that the Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) will double for Queenslanders living in rural and remote areas. Mr Kempton said the announcement means that, patients from the across the vast electorate of Cook, who had to travel long distances to see medical specialists now have more assistance than ever before. “The Premier and Health

Minister has committed $106 million over four years to ensure Queenslanders have greater access to the medical care they need,� Mr Kempton said. “We are doubling the accommodation subsidy from $30 to $60 per night per person, and the mileage subsidy from 15 cents to 30 cents per kilometre. This is particularly good news for people living in the remote communities and who need to travel to Cairns for treatment. “This is the first time since

1987 that the accommodation subsidy has been increased. “The previous government increased the petrol mileage subsidy by just 5 cents per kilometre in 2007, but this increase truly helps patients who have to travel long distances.� The PTSS provides financial support for public and private patients to access specialist health services that are more than 50km away from their closest public hospital, with patients from regional, rural and remote locations the main users

of the scheme. “I am pleased to see the representations I have been making to the Premier and Health Minister on behalf of the local residents of the Cook electorate have been listened to and acted upon so quickly,� Mr Kempton said. “This much-needed boost will help ease the financial burden and stress of travelling to access health services. “This is part of this government’s commitment to revitalising frontline services.�

Cape York Welfare Trials extended THE Queensland Government and the Cape York Institute have agreed to a 12-month extension of the Cape York Welfare Reform Trial in the Cape York communities of Aurukun, Hope Vale, Coen and Mossman Gorge. The trial commenced in 2008 with financial support from the Queensland and Federal Governments working with the Cairns-based Cape York Institute. Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs Glen Elmes said the State Government would contribute $5.65 million for the trial extension. The director of the Cape York Institute for Policy Development Noel Pearson said he welcomed the Queensland Government decision which would allow the four communities to build on progress made to date. Mr Elmes said the continuation of the trial would include changes to the overall governance arrangements and streamlined reporting requirements to ensure the greatest benefits for the communities involved. “The Queensland Government was committed to an extension of the trial but wanted to make some changes to the membership and role of the body which oversees

the trial’s implementation,” Mr Elmes said. “At a meeting with Mr Pearson last week, we were able to agree on those changes. “Community leaders from the four trial communities will be invited to be part of a new advisory board with State and Federal Government and Cape York Institute representatives to oversee the extension period.” Mr Pearson said the extension would allow the continuation of projects and programs which had proven successful and the introduction of some new health and social programs. “I’m very pleased that Minister Glen Elmes and I have finalised arrangements for the extension of the Cape York Welfare Reform Trial in 2013”, Mr Pearson said. “I am confident that we have the full support of the Queensland

Government for the reform agenda for the Indigenous communities. “I look forward to working with Minister Elmes and the Queensland Government to progress the reforms that are underway in Cape York”. A key component of the Trial is the Family Responsibilities Commission (FRC) which provides local community justice alternatives utilising elders in individual communities. “The FRC acts to restore local Indigenous authority and reinforce positive social norms by strategies such as making welfare payments dependent on behavioural obligations and referring offenders to rehabilitation programs,” Mr Elmes said. The Commonwealth Government has also committed funding to support the extension of the trial.

BE CROC WISE! How to be Crocodile Wise • Be aware of crocodiles – keep your eyes open, you might not be able to see them, but they are there. • Do not feed or otherwise interfere with crocodiles, small or large. • Avoid areas where large crocodiles or their nests have been seen • Camp at least 50 metres from the waters edge • Stand at least a few metres back from the waters edge when fishing and don’t stand on logs overhanging deep pools. • Do not clean fish, prepare food or engage in other activities on the waters edge and adjacent banks. • Dispose of food scraps (including fish) away from areas where people gather. • Keep arms and legs inside boat hulls.

Telco telemarketer penalised $2.5m for misleading Indigenous consumers THE Federal Court in Darwin this week penalised EDirect Pty Ltd trading as VIPtel Mobile $2.5m for telemarketing and ‘voice’ contracting with 350 customers from remote and regional communities across Australia who had no network coverage where they live. EDirect made misleading and deceptive representations to customers that it had verified that there was coverage at the customers’ nominated address when it had not verified this, and when there was no such coverage. This was repeat conduct by EDirect as the Federal Court gave Judgment against them in 2008 for telemarketing phone services into no coverage areas. The complaint which prompted the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) intervention came from the Indigenous community of Aurukun, where customers were having automatic deductions made from their bank accounts for a phone service unavailable in their community. The ACCC’s investigation revealed EDirect telemarketed phone services through the Optus network. Justice Reeves described the conduct as ‘unscrupulous’ and stated “I consider the amount of the total pecuniary penalty to be imposed on EDirect should be at such a level as to make it, to use the descriptor adopted by Logan J, commercial suicide, for any other operators in mobile telephone industry, or elsewhere, to even contemplate taking the risk of engaging in similar conduct. He further stated “I consider the penalty should act as a general

deterrent to companies who use telemarketers in the way that occurred in this case. If such companies, whether mobile telephone companies or others, do not properly supervise and control their telemarketers to ensure that they comply with Australia’s consumer protection laws they can expect to be dealt with severely� Rod Sims, chairman of the ACCC said “This is grave and intolerable conduct in the Telco industry. I call on the major telecommunications carriers to take appropriate steps to ensure that their resellers lawfully deal with consumers.� “The Australian Consumer Law protects people wherever they live. I have a message for traders who may think that they can get away with breaches of consumer laws in remote parts of the country. The ACCC conducts outreach and works collaboratively with community groups and State and Territory Government agencies with a presence on the ground in the remotest parts of Australia.� “Ensuring Indigenous consumers are well placed to exercise their rights is a major priority for the ACCC. We will vigorously investigate breaches and seek large penalties from the Court when breaches impacting on Indigenous consumers are detected.� Whilst EDirect is now in liquidation the ACCC successfully negotiated the payment of over $100,000 in consumer refunds from both EDirect and the company which took over the EDirect’s assets. Cape York communities affected by this conduct include: Kowanyama, Aurukun, Napranum and Pormpuraaw.

Beware, the box jellyfish

Bowlies photo comp winners THE winners of the Weipa Bowls Club photography competition have been announced. Local budding photographers Ross MacLaren’s crocodile photo and Melisa Adams’ sunset photo were chosen to be mounted on each side of the dividing wall in the club’s restaurant area. Weipa Bowls Club general manager, Nick Prus said the photo-wall should be completed in a couple of months.

A WESTERN Cape Bulletin reader contacted us to say he had caught two box jellyfish in his cast net under the Mission River bridge last week. The reader reports one jellyfish was a large adult, and one a juvenile. A timely warning to everyone to stay out of the water, and carry vinegar when fishing.

SANDIE and Greg Edwards, who own and run Torres Strait Tours, have been on Thursday Island for 25 years. And while the couple and their business are still going strong, Sandie says the time has come for them to put the wheel of their ferry service into new hands. “I’m interested in doing other projects now,� Sandie said. “Greg and I, while we love the ferry and tour work, believe it is for someone who is younger and energetic, who wants to use it as a stepping stone to build their own successful business.� So the Torres Strait Tours business is now up for sale, she said. The sale includes boats, buses and bookings, together with access to the private wharf, pontoons, and slipway. Along with the opportunity to work in one of the most beautiful places on earth, this adds up to an opportunity not to be missed. “Working on a our boats, meeting people, it is wonderful. I would not like being stuck in an office all day,� Sandie said. “Everybody we have working with us loves the variety. “Every day is a different day, and you are in beautiful surroundings. “The business would suit a variety of management styles.� Torres Strait Tours employs five full-time staff and five parttime staff, she said. “There is the cross-harbour ferry and the fast ferry, plus a water taxi business,� Sandie said.

She said they fell in love with the place after coming to TI from Sydney in 1987. “We saw this property, and it’s one of those areas you either fall in love with or you don’t like it, there is no middle road,� Sandie said. “It was a pretty barren property, selling bottled gas and fuel from the 60,000-litre Caltex fuel farm. “We upscaled the gas, started a proper chandlery shop, a Yamaha Agency, and started icing down lobsters to pack after the shop closed and sending them down to markets in Cairns.� She said the couple also started the first cross-harbour ferry to Horn Island. “Joe Sabatino Snr drove the boat, and we used to charge three dollars fare to cross the harbour in a Shark Cat,� she said. This was before the Dash-

8 aircraft could land at Horn Airport, she said. “Now, with a constant flow of tourists and workers flying in and out of the airport, we are kept very busy.� Sandie said Torres Strait Tours Ferry service also presented an opportunity for the new business owner to train people and increase island tours of Thursday Island. “This area is a very good base to build a very successful business,� she said. To lodge an expression of interest, email Sandie at info@ rebeltours.com.au. All correspondence will be treated as confidential. The business provides ongoing, scheduled transfers between Horn and Thursday Island, water taxi and charter operations to Friday, Hammond, Prince of Wales islands, as well as to the big island - the Australian mainland.

How to do a detox IF you are not feeling on top of your game, you feel exhausted, you’ve been playing a bit too hard, working long hours or just eating unhealthy food, you might find it beneficial to do a detox. Also your body is made to be a wonderful detoxing organ. It is bombarded daily with all sorts of toxins, see the picture below to get an idea.

Queensland Depots: Humbug Wharf, Weipa 24 Tingara Street, Portsmith

Customer Service: 1800 640 079 Weipa: 07 4069 7309 Cairns: 07 4038 7777

Benefits As you can see even when following a healthy diet and looking after yourself it can still be beneficial to let go of “waste� that you might unwillingly and unknowingly have accumulated in your body over the years. I have done a few detoxes and some made me feel great while doing them and others made me feel really sick and I could only see the benefits afterwards. The way a detox works for you will depend on how willing your body is to let go and how many toxins have been accumulated. At the end of a detox you should always come out having increased energy, clear eyes, skin and regulated moods and if needed, healthy weight loss. A detox improves your immune function and reduces the amount of toxins and pollution in your body and therefore lessens the burden on the detoxification organs so they can work at an optimum level from then onwards. The process of detoxification does not only eliminate toxins and free radicals from your body, it strengthens the body’s fight against cancer cells

and helps to generate healthy cells in our body. It can cleanse mucus, congestion, fermentation and inflammation in our digestive tract and help to purify your blood. It will also reform our lifestyle addictions to sugar, salt, highglycaemic carbohydrates, alcohol, junk foods, nicotine etc. Prior to commencing your detox It is a good idea to consult a naturopath before commencing your detox as they can help you to determine which detox is best for you. They can also do some pre-detox testing including a health appraisal, urinary indicant test, live blood analysis and bio-impedance analysis. These tests can help to determine the severity of toxicity and time it’s likely to take to complete the program. Make time for a detox In an ideal world, you would take time off work for a detox and be in a completely relaxed state. Because this isn’t always possible make sure you chose a time when you can do the following, depending on the length of your detox: • Get eight hours sleep every night • Make time for food preparation and shopping • Make time for gentle exercise such as walking, yoga and meditation • Cancel as many social events as possible and buy a good book • Be prepared to feel lethargic and foggy in the first few days • If you can, tie your detox in with some self-reflection activities like goal setting. The detox There is a vast variety of detoxs out there and I do highly recommend seeing a naturopath to figure out which one will best suit you. “A good detox should follow the principle of weed, feed and seedâ€? Carly the Naturopath from the Cape York Pharmacy says, and “It should remove toxins, drain the major detoxing organs and then rebalance the body and keep it strong and healthy.â€?

LAST week we learned of the Lord’s warnings about the “Awful Horror’’, that end up hitting Jerusalem around just thirty-seven years after he went back to heaven after his death and resurrection. We also learned last week that the “Awful Horror� was the Roman General Titus and his army who destroyed the Jewish Temple with its Holiest grounds. When we read these words of the Lord in Mark Ch 13 it’s a good idea to also cross-read (crossreference) all of Matthew Ch 24 and Luke Ch 21 v 5- 38 and in them we will find out more about the “The Awful Horror�. In them we will find

By Rev. Michael Connolly

three descriptions of the “The Awful Horror� and the times of their appearance. For instance, in Matt Ch 24 v 15 it quotes the Lord as saying, “You will see ‘The Awful Horror’ of which the prophet Daniel spoke. It will be standing in the holy place�. (Note to the reader: understand what this means!). So what did Daniel of the Old Testament have to say about the “The Awful Horror?� Daniel’s prophecies in Daniel Ch 8 vs 17-26 actually has two layers to it; the first layer happened long before the Lord’s time, in the year 168bc, when Antiochus Epiphanes, the then King of the region ruled by Syria,

built a pagan altar to the god Zeus on top of the sacred altar in the Temple in Jerusalem. A Gentile walking on the Jewish holiest grounds was deeply insulting enough. Epiphanes then had animals that were seen as “unclean� by the Jews to be offered on that altar, a big, big, insult to them and God. This was the same as Satan worship and black magic! This was after he went about killing Jews in their thousands. That was the first Awful Horror. More on this subject next week. The Lord loves you and me. Rev Michael Connolly.

PUZZLES

CROSSWORD No. 115

SUDOKU No. 115

Your Lucky VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd) Your positive mood will be picked up by a person who has not noticed you in the past. Share your cheer more often. Romance. Try to plan a small surprise for your partner. It will be appreciated much more than you expect. However, don’t let this appreciation be the driving force behind your surprise.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd) An interesting turn of events will put you at the centre of the action for a while. Don’t take on more than you care to handle! Romance. You may need a little extra emotional support from your partner at the moment. Try not to overwhelm them. It may be best to reach out to more people.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd) You may be more concerned about the way you look than about other, more important things. Trim your beauty time in half to ensure you stay balanced. Romance. The next week would be an extremely good time to get a new relationship underway. Use your time saved to spend on this venture.

FOR KIDS

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st) A strange situation at work might leave you a little confused. Trust to your intuition and you will be able to work out what to do. A colleague’s opinion may help. Romance. Try to get your partner to relax. A romantic get-away would do you both a world of good. Set out for a small adventure.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th) You will be in a very wild mood at the moment. At times, you may forget what you are doing. Try not to drive; if you can help it. Romance. A person that you have never met before will be very curious about your life. They may be a secret admirer! Keep some things secret to continue this curiosity.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th) A bad habit which you have wanted to give up for some time may finally be conquered. Make sure that you don’t start it again. Turn to healthier habits. Romance. This should be a very good week. A get-together with friends will put you in touch with someone new. Networking within your small group proves favourable.

FINDWORD No. 115

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th)

A LAUGH WITH LOTSA

Try not to let yourself be dragged into something that could be difficult to get out of. Be wary of things which sound too good. Romance. Don’t be too demanding with your partner, even if you feel that they are not pulling their whole weight. There will be a time when you need a break as well.

ARIES (March 21st - April 20th) Don’t waste time looking for something which you have lost. It will turn up in a few days. You may be surprised with how it returns to you. Romance. Be careful not to be too impatient with your partner. This could easily backfire! It may be best to simply give them space.

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

MUDDY RIVER

TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st) You will enjoy being the centre of attention. Don’t become too egoistic, however. Like all things, this will not last forever. Romance. Your partner would appreciate a gesture that shows how much you care. Don’t assume they would like the same things as you. Think about their needs.

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st) You have a distinctive way of doing things - don’t worry if this annoys other people at times. They will just have to adapt. Romance. Don’t let your partner make all the decisions for you. If you begin to do this, there may not be an end in sight and you will quickly lose control of the outcomes in your life.

CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd)

QUOTE OF THE DAY Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age. – Victor Hugo

SOLUTIONS No. 115

The Mars/Moon Midpoint moving through your sign might give you a little more energy than you need at the moment. Don’t waste it. Be creative with whom you help. Romance. If you want to criticise your partner for something they have done, try to do so as gently as possible. It’s possibly better not to say anything.

LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) Once you have started something, it is difficult to stop you! This momentum will be very valuable this week. Be careful not to burn yourself out! Romance. You will be very grateful for your partner’s support. It will be delivered just when you need it. Be sure to show your appreciation.

Electrifying start to NRL finals series

WOW, what a start to the finals series - four of the best games you will ever see. Each game was actionpacked and had everything from big hits , thrilling tries, players spilling blood for their beloved colours and fans turning out in droves to support their teams. Friday night saw a blockbuster with the Bulldogs and the Sea Eagles going to war. They bashed each other senseless with the Bulldogs finally coming out on top in the end with a solid victory. The second game was between the Storm and Rabbitohs down in

Melbourne in beautiful conditions for footy. The mighty Storm blew away the Rabbits with one clinical display and put themselves in a very good position for the grand final play-off. The bucking North Queensland Cowboys put the Broncos out of their misery with a big win in front of a massive crowd in Townsville. Matty Bowen and Jonathan Thurston are in devastating form at the moment , so I think it could be the year for the mighty Cowboys. The Raiders were too slick for the Sharks down in cold Canberra, and the

Scotty’s AFL round-up SO, the cricket season is here soon and we can all look forward to the sound of leather on willow and the scintillating repartee coming through the speakers on the AM dial. Thank goodness the footy season is over, and the repetitive week-in week-out grind of nine games and the fanaticism of finals will soon be put to bed. Who really cared about all that anyway? Not this little Cat fan let me tell you. Hang on, what am I saying? I think the lack of food has affected my brain more than usual and the barracking in front of the tele on Saturday night just wasn’t enough to get the boys from Corio over the line. The Purple Haze played like men possessed and left nothing on the park. They were deserved winners of the game and the Cats just didn’t perform when required and can pack

the bags for the end of season trip to Lorne. It was a challenging weekend in more ways than one with a couple of kids parties intertwined with the usual chores and challenges. The Deputy celebrated turning four on Tuesday and his party on Saturday saw a team of Superheros arrive and turn the house upside down for a few hours. The chooks had to be locked up, The Three-Legged Houdini took to the streets, and I took to what ever I was told. Azrael survived the events but came though a bit affected by the whole thing. She has developed a taste for parties, and they can be so impressionable at such a young age. The night following the party she decided it was party time at 3 in the morning and proceeded to meow the night away whilst rounding up the cockroaches from in the kitchen.

green machine could be the dark horses in this year’s final series. There is two thrilling games this weekend with the Bulldogs and Storm earning the right to have a weeks rest. Friday night will see the Sea Eagles and the Cowboys do battle with the winner to play the Storm the following week. If recent form is a indication the Cowboys should account for the Sea Eagles quite easily and progress another week on. Saturday will see the Rabbits and Raiders fight it out and this game will be a cracker with the green

Collingwood v West Coast @ MCG Might sound entertaining, and must have been fun for her. For me on the other hand it was just about the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve had to escape the scene for a few days and hit the streets of Brisbane for some peace and quiet and to get my fix of normal food (I’m still on the diet). The remainder of the footy went roughly to plan with the Swans knocking off the Crows at home the only slight surprise. Having said that, I think we’ve all suspected the Crows are lacking a bit for when September hits. Unfortunately, the only team that I think could beat the Hawks was knocked out this weekend so I think get your dough on the boys from Glenferrie for the big one. The Pies look shaky after a drubbing and with the Eagles flying high all is set for a ripper on the weekend to see who gets to face the Swans

SPORT all champs! Teens Gold v Green Green started strongly with a quick goal sunk by Conor. Gold responded with some amazing teamwork to kick three goals and take the lead at half-time. Both teams returned from the break eager to take the final spot against Blue in next week’s grand final. Conor was red-hot booting a goal within the first 10 seconds and this narrowed the score to just one goal the difference. Sammy and Jarvis in Gold returned fire with a goal each to take the score to 5-2. Another super boot from Conor in goalie took the ball all the way up the field and saw Green narrow the score again, however time was running out, with Gold winning 5 to Green’s 3. Best wishes to all teams playing in next week’s finals. It is important that all

players arrive 20 minutes before the start of their game. Presentations will be this Saturday, September 15 at 5.45pm – 6.45pm, starting straight after the Senior Titans game, and all players receive a trophy or prize.

WEIPA Squash Club survived the last two weeks without me, but I am back with the results from last week’s games and looking forward to the rest of the season! A Grade Team Boba Fett was defeated by Team Obi Wan Kenobi when A2 Jarrod Stockman (as sub for Jeff Berry) went down to Tom Murray (1-3). A3 Jarrod won his own game against Steve Lugsdin (3-0), while A4 Amanda McKenzie played well against Cole Dalton but only won one game (1-3). A5 Justin Hyytinnen played a tough game and lost against Adam Woodhouse (as sub for Ben Braun) pushing the second game to “long” (0-3). The teams to watch would have been Team Darth Vader, when they consistently won almost all of their matches against Team R2-D2, with A1 Dave Edward playing a well-matched game against Owen Witt (3-1). A2 Rod Bielby lost the second game to Aaron Schleich and then the third “long” game, but the match was Rod’s (3-2). A3 Jay Dumbleton met with much resistance from Dallas Goodwin (3-0), and A4 Jay Murray took the first game when she faced Josh (as sub for Sherie Hinschen), but then Josh stole the next two and the last one after Jay forced the game to “long” (1-3). A5 Jimmy Baira won the match against Adam Blocksidge (3-2), however lost the games if we counted points – Adam scored an incredible 41 against Jimmy’s 38 (which included 2 x 10s!) Team Luke Skywalker were the underdogs to Team Hans Solo when A1 Luke Dorsett lost to Grant Foster, although it looks like Luke was just warming up (0-3). A2 Ross Hyytinnen won the match against Nick Brookes but the scores were mirror-image (3-1). A3 Shane Spagnol won this very evenly-matched marathon against Glen Egan with each

player scoring a “10” (3-1). A4 Ben Tantau only lost by two points in this fantastic five-game match against Wendy Long (2-3), and A5 Michael Cridland went down to Joe Buckley, even though he pushed the last game to “long” (0-3). Still lots of subs and forfeits happening in B Grade but we will get there. Team Jabba the Hut narrowly lost to Team C3PO when B3 Ian Newsome (as sub for Fiona) won one game against Wayne Ailey (1-3). B5 Kristie Moran proved too strong an opponent for Kylie McDonnell (3-0) and B6 Brandon Waretini improves more each week and won one game against Shaun Heirdsfield (as sub for Chris Byers) (1-3). The matches to be watched on Thursday night were Team Yoda when they convincingly defeated Team Chewbacca, beginning with B1 Otis Drum who although he lost the only match of this battle, it was only by four points in his fivegame marathon against Tom Bellinger (as sub for Stephen Borg) (2-3). B2 Adam Woodhouse (as sub for Kerry Scales) won against Tom Bellinger (3-0) and B4 Andrew Glen won three games against Ben Ghee, but only by two points (3-1). B5 Cicely Baira met with some stiff competition against Dean (as sub for Kristie McManus) (3-1). Jess Hall is another who is improving each week and she defeated myself (as we pre-played before I went away) in four games, although the third game was forced to “long” (3-1). Team Ewoks and Team Leia were evenly matched out of the four matches played beginning with B1 Randall O’Neill defeating Chris Bienvenu despite the first game being forced to “long” (3-0). B2 Emma Thomas won against Josh Donnelly (3-0) and B4 Claudia (as sub for Luke Mann) lost to Tim Manning (0-3). B6 Charissa Hill was defeated by Lucy Boxall (0-3). Yours squashfully, Ruth Harris

scored before half-time. Blue scored again quickly in the early minutes of the second half bringing the score to a competitive two-all. Riley responded with a goal for Green, putting Green in the lead. Plenty of attack and defence and near misses from both teams continued the game. Just before full-time Sean scored for Blue making the score three-all at full-time. A five-minute break and a player briefing by Miss Jenny and the game went into extra time. Blue came out strongly and the Green team were on the defence, however two breaks up the field and Gary scored the golden point bringing the result to Green 4 Blue 3. A fantastic, well-spirited game from both teams, with good team work. A game worthy of finals season. Congratulations players – you are

Tykes Green v Blue Both teams hit the field running, keen to win this knock-out match. Great score by Gary in Green, followed a few minutes later by another goal. Blue tried hard to score with lots of near goals. Connor and Millie showed good footwork, kicking and blocking for Blue with Evander and Sean on the attack. Isaac, Gary and Riley showed great team spirit for Green with strategy and camaraderie. Evander for Blue finally

Wind plays havoc with golf scores Pro-BMX rider gives Weipa kids a few tips THE results from last weekend’s Carpentaria Golf Club competitions are as follows: Saturday’s event was a single stableford sponsored by Weipa Real Estate. The winner with 36 points, on a countback was Kerry Scales from Wendy Grainger also with 36 points. The NTPs went to Wendy, Michael, Gregg and Kerry. Sunday’s event was a single stroke, sponsored by Hastings Deering. The winner with a 73 nett was Kris Brooks from Steve Wust with a 75 nett - I think the wind played havoc with the scoring in this event.

The NTPs went to Brett, Jacko and Max. Thanks to our sponsors for the weekend. This Saturday the foursomes championship will be played. This event is a 36-hole event so please be at the club by 8.30am for a 9am tee-off. Lunch is provided between each 18-hole event. Sunday the event is a single stroke sponsored by Hayman’s. Just a reminder that the AGM is on Sunday, October 7 so please start thinking about nominating for the 2013 committee. – Wendy Grainger Club Captain

B grade: winner - Ned Brown, runner-up - Brianna Elms. C6 grade: winner - Mackenzie Elms, runner-up - Joshua Murray. C3 grade: winner - Lockie Hohn, runner-up - Kateland Murray.

Cairns pro-BMX rider and coach Ben Vandenhooven conducted a two-day coaching clinic at the Weipa BMX Club last weekend.

WEIPA BMX Club participated in a twoday coaching clinic last weekend, conducted by Cairns pro-BMX rider and coach, Ben Vandenhooven. When Ben was invited to come to Weipa to conduct the clinics by Sally Parr he jumped at the chance. “I love coaching and had never been to Weipa so I agreed to the trip,� Ben said on Saturday afternoon. “And if they invited me back again, I wouldn’t hesitate.�

The 19-year old rider has been on a BMX bike since he was six and has spent much of his time travelling to BMX events, competing in 52 two-day carnivals, along with state and national titles and representing Australia in Adelaide in 2009. A member of the Cairns BMX Club Ben also devotes much of his time to coaching young riders including one seven-year old girl who is ranked world number two, and her

Take care when identifying your catch FISHERIES Queensland is asking fishers to brush up on their fish identification knowledge before casting their next line. Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol (QBFP) officer Rob Ibell said Javelin and Mackerel were often misidentified. “For each of these species, there are different rules about how many you can catch and keep, and minimum size limits,� he said. “If you catch a fish and you aren’t sure what species it is, you might unknowingly be doing the wrong thing; for example keeping an undersize Barred Javelin when you thought it was a Silver Javelin.� How to tell the difference: Barred Javelin (Spotted Grunter) has a uniform goldengreen back with a silvery belly. To distinguish Barred Javelin from Silver Javelin, check the

body for traces of brown vertical bars and indistinct or no spots on the dorsal fin. Silver Javelin (Small Spotted Grunter) has a silvery body with numerous scattered dark brown to blackish spots. To differentiate Silver Javelin from Barred Javelin, look out for dark blotches on the dorsal fins and no vertical bars on the body. Check the dorsal fin to differentiate from School and Spotted Mackerel. School Mackerel have a white patch and Spotted Mackerel do not. Spotted Mackerel also generally have more prominent defined spots on the body. “Use these handy identification tips and make sure you fish within the limits,� Mr Ibell said. Call 13 25 23 to order a free Recreational Boating and Fishing Guide or download a copy from the Fisheries Queensland website.

For more information on fish identification and possession and size limits, visit www. fisheries.qld.gov.au or call 13 25 23.

Skytrans serves up tennis to Cape York communities EARLIER this month primary school students from the Cape York communities of Aurukun, Coen and Hopevale travelled to Cairns to participate in the Skytrans Cape York Indigenous Tennis Camp. The camp, operated in conjunction with Tennis Australia, Skytrans and Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy, was held during the Cairns Tennis International Pro Tour, exposing students to the best players and coaches Australia has to offer.

Send your ďŹ shing photos to: weipabaitandtackle@bigpond.com THE weather again proved to be a problem this week with high winds restricting boats to fish inshore, but when the winds dropped there were some good fish caught. Peter Hutchison and Greg Davis, ďŹ shing with Lee from Weipa Sportfishing, landed some good ďŹ sh on the days that they went outside, with Mackerel, Tuna and big Queenies on the surface. Dropping lines to the bottom they managed to score Coral Trout, Tuskers, but the Sharks again proved to be a problem. The dredging has now ďŹ nished and the water quality has been improving every day, and that’s probably why there are better showings of Mackerel now. John Coad from Gippsland in Victoria has also been getting amongst the Mackerel as well as the big Queenies. John has been trolling over the southern reefs to get his ďŹ sh. On the billďŹ sh front things have slowed a little bit, but Notso and Mark Parkes, ďŹ shing the Townsville competition, comprehensively won by tagging 21 ďŹ sh and the nearest boat had only tagged 12. The Weipa BillďŹ shing Club Inc is holding a tournament on the long weekend in September with the briefing on Friday, September 28 at the Carpentaria Golf Club and

Fishing off the shore has been pretty exciting for those who take the time to get live bait, with plenty of Barra and Salmon to keep them occupied. With the warmer water there have been numerous sightings of curious crocs, so keep a watchful eye out for them especially after dark. There are large schools of Bream moving around and are easy targets for the shorebased anglers using peeled Prawns and smaller hooks. A few Salmon have been caught, but these should improve with the warmer weather. The ever-reliable Evans Landing has been producing some mega Queenies but are again proving hard to land

but later in the day we put a couple of strip baits out to have a rest, and we still caught ďŹ sh including a 45cm Jack. One lure that stood out for us would have to been the Gold Bomber with a pink back, but I was having a lot of fun using a big Sugar Pen, walking the dog and getting smashed on the surface. Chris Allwood had similar results in the Mission River, knocking over 20 fish in a very short time and I think he was using his favorite soft plastic - a Zman Swimmer. There are still good muddies being caught in the rivers and creeks so let’s hope this phenomenal run continues. Not many reports from out of town this week or from the freshwater reaches so ‘til next week, tight lines.

once hooked. I also had a report of a nice Black Jew caught here as well, along with the ever-present Bream and Trevally, and the odd Barra hook-up. Mission River bridge, Andoom bridge and Red Beach have all given up good fish this week, but there is a lot of water between them so some perseverance is required. The rivers and creeks have been going off this week. I went out on Monday with Gary Mclean in his boat and we had day to remember chasing Barra. Sight-fishing cruising ďŹ sh, and nominating the one your going to catch, and then doing it is something to remember. We lost count of the ďŹ sh we caught but 70-plus from midgets through to 85cm would not be an exaggeration. Most of the ďŹ sh were taken lure casting
