Urgent Peninsula People’s Forum called to discuss

LOCKING UP THE CAPE

AN urgent Peninsula Peoples Forum has been called to allow people to learn about their rights, and what they can do to stop an inappropriate and rushed eight-week consultation process that will see the World Heritage nomination of the majority of Cape York by February 2013.

“In the interest of openness and transparency in conjunction with Cape York Landcare, and ROCCY Regional Organisations of Councils Cape York & Torres Shire) and the North Queensland Miners Association, Cape York Sustainable Futures (CYSF) is bringing key stakeholders together on the Cape to discuss

the issues facing the community, both social and economic,� said Cape York Sustainable Futures, CEO, Trish Butler. “The Commonwealth’s intentions are by no means hear say, as all was revealed in the recent Senate Estimates in Canberra where the Government admitted to forcing a World Heritage

Listing by February 2013, and confirmed that it intended to rush the consultation process to meet this deadline no matter what,� Mrs Butler said. Hundreds of distressed stakeholders worried about their livelihoods and that of future generations, are expected to attend the open forum to voice

their concerns. “We are concerned about the ‘selective and biased’ consultation that has occurred to date and we urge the Australian government to take a more inclusive approach by engaging the whole of the community openly and transparently,� Mrs Butler said. UU continued page 2

Forum to discuss possible World Heritage listing of Cape York UU from page 1

In a joint statement issued by John McDowall (Chair, Cape York Sustainable Futures), Greg McLean (Chair, Regional Organisations Councils Cape York), Mary Shephard (Chair Cape York Landcare), and Ralph De Lacey (North Queensland Miner’s Association) concerns are expressed that “the Australian Government is determined to get a nomination by February 2013 no matter what, and they are talking about the WHOLE of Cape York in relation to natural values. “Does this mean they are looking to the WHOLE of Cape York for their nomination?â€? The statement lists several desired outcomes from the Peninsula People’s Forum, to be held at Musgrave Roadhouse, on Saturday, November 3, 2012 from 10am, including: • That the current consultation process cease immediately because we believe it is flawed

and is not following the UNESCO operational guidelines* and we further believe it is being used for political gain • We believe that there is NO part of Cape York that is under any immediate threat that requires this level of protection • That no one is in a better position than the people of Cape York Peninsula to determine what is best for their region as they have been looking after their country and managing their land in some cases, for thousands of years. • There is already sufficient legislation in place for any development application to protect Cape York Peninsula’s important conservation and environmental values. The statement also suggests “The people of Cape York and the Torres Strait: • Need to be educated first and that PRIOR to engaging the communities, any potential

QUEENSLAND has been out of the news recently, and I wonder why. I know news magically ceases to happen when our pollies are taking their holidays, but they were actually in parliament for three days last week. Large exclamation mark here, please. That’s not all; they have now racked up an impressive 12 days of work since last May, and that deserves several

in their comfortable homes by bedtime. If you think that sort of thing is depressing, look at this. Queenslanders have long been proud of their tradition of taking more unofficial days off that anyone else, not to mention more less-than-necessary sickies. Now we have lost our leading position, probably due to the Oberfßhrer firing anyone he doesn’t find slaving away at his desk. Those slackers in the ACT turn out to be even worse than we are and have carried off this year’s trophy. In fact, the Oberfßhrer has fired so many people recently

Cape Bulletin that “the consultation process is flawed.� “CYSF and the Cape York Peninsula Councils object to the people of Cape York Peninsula being used as a political tool in a campaign for the Australian Government elections due next year. “Such an important decision that involves land use designation in perpetuity needs careful and considered decision making. “Therefore, a comprehensive plan needs to be developed in conjunction with the local community prior to any final approval process being undertaken.�

* The UNESCO Operational Guidelines July 2012 suggests: II.C Tentative Lists 64. States Parties are encouraged to prepare their Tentative Lists with the participation of a wide variety of stakeholders, including site managers, local and regional governments, local communities, NGOs and other interested parties and partners.

that Joe Hockey had to lend him some moral support. He has urged Queensland unemployed not to worry, because the state budget predicts the creation of 15,000 new jobs this financial year. I’m sure that makes everyone feel very much better. I’m sorry, but although we have a little news again, none of it seems relevant to us up here. Nothing on wrapping up the Cape in World Heritage. A circus over alcohol management plans that will probably end badly. No sign that any of the 15,000 imaginary jobs will be sent up here. I guess we are on our own. Again.

exclamation marks. It is good to think that our intrepid representatives are earning their keep. I feel they are happy too, because the cabinet has decided to meet in what they laughingly refer to as “the remote Queensland town of Goondiwindi�. Do you know where that is? You will find it right down at the bottom of Queensland. It has slipped so far down the state that it might as well be in New South Wales. Yes, well, but it is only a hop and a skip from Brisbane.

A potential World Heritage nomination is not necessary to protect these values.â€? Other issues likely to be raised at the forum include: • Prior to consultation commencing there has been no boundaries, nor a management plan discussed or determined. • The non-renewal of grazing leases inside Wo r l d H e r i t a g e boundaries. • Continued expansion of “buffer zonesâ€? around World Heritage areas. • The undefined use/ activities of “transition zonesâ€? which border buffer zones. • Management of World Heritage areas in Cape York.

CHAMP Ventures has acquired a majority interest in Sea Swift.

CHAMP Ventures has acquired a majority interest in Sea Swift, Chief Executive Officer Fred White has announced. Investing alongside CHAMP Ventures is leading global private equity firm HarbourVest Partners, LLC. Mr White said the exciting partnership with CHAMP Ventures will allow the company to continue its growth plans. “We have already enjoyed an exciting first 25 years, and this is now the right time to position our company for the next 25 years of growth,� said Mr White. “This agreement with CHAMP Ventures provides us with many new opportunities, and it’s a great time for everyone at Sea Swift, with our growing company entering

a new and exciting era. “For our existing clients, it’s business as usual. “Our fundamental values of service, safety and reliability, that form the basis of our professional reputation, will never change.� Mr White also confirmed that he, along with members of the senior Management team will acquire a stake in the business and he will assume the role as Managing-Director under the new ownership. “I would like to thank all our customers, clients, staff and partners for providing us with the amazing support to build Sea Swift’s business foundations over the last 25 years,� he said. “ We a r e n o w l o o k i n g forward to partnering with CHAMP Ventures as we enter

the next phase of our growth plans.� Paul Readdy, CHAMP Ventures Director, said: “We are delighted to partner with Sea Swift and assist in developing the next phase of a business that has a quality management team, strong safety and business systems, and excellent growth potential in the marine logistics industry. “CHAMP Ventures has a strong track record for supporting the capital and strategic requirements of high-growth companies, and Sea Swift is a great example of that.� Mr White said Sea Swift has a five-year horizon to significantly improve marine cargo and project services associated with remote coastal communities and infrastructure projects.

“This agreement with CHAMP Ventures will allow us to continue to grow and expand our operation around Queensland, northern Australia and beyond,� he said. Sea Swift evolved as a result of the company’s founder, Sid Faithfull, transferring his business activities from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Cairns in 1987. The original fleet of four vessels has since grown and Sea Swift now has more than 300 staff and 25 vessels, with current turnover of about $100 million. Sea Swift is the industry pace setter in marine transport in northern Australia, with its fleet of purpose designed vessels delivering vital supplies and services to remote island and coastal communities and resource development outposts.

Election promises have disappeared AN elected member of parliament is required to do three main things: 1. Listen to and act for those who live in the electorate; 2. Represent their constituents in Parliament, and 3. Represent their party in both the community and Parliament. Our current State member for Cook is doing none of those things. For six months now I have sat back, listened and watched in great disappointment as those

many promises that were made have to no surprise, simply gone and disappeared into the space between many politicians’ ears. I can remember those flyers in the mail and the many advertisements that said that the good people of Mareeba and Mossman/Port Douglas would, in 90 days of being elected, have the opportunity to vote on de-amalgamation. We are now at 200 days and counting. I can also remember that the good people of North Queensland were promised a review and action immediately on

Lachlan Bensted.

Alcohol Management Plans. I can also remember that the good people of Queensland were promised less red tape for small business. However, I can’t remember being told that the Mareeba airport funding would be cut

beneath our feet within 90 days of being elected. I also cannot remember issues like deamalgamation and the like would be dragged out to the next election, and most probably be scrapped. L a s t l y, I c a n n o t remember being told that thousands of jobs, including many of my friend’s jobs, would be scrapped. Now, to be fair, I guess our current Member is doing something. He is representing his Party which is delivering a multi-million dollar office building in Brisbane.

He is representing a Party which have and will sell assets quicker than any Labor government could ever do, and most importantly he is representing a Party which has forgotten about towns like ours, who are made up of thousands of families who just want a real fair dinkum member of Parliament who won’t tell porkys and who will deliver the much-needed services and support that we need to prosper, and that will allow us to be competitive with our urban cousins.

LAST Friday evening, my daughter Kellie and I held a “Girl’s Night In” at our home, dedicated to our friends and relatives who are currently suffering from cancer and undergoing extensive treatment, and to those who have lost someone to cancer. We had a healthy turnout of twenty “girls” who made the evening the huge success it was. All had a great night with lots of laughs from playing party games, cocktails and jelly shots, and we partied on ‘til the wee hours of the morning. We apologise for the agonising jaw pain. The girls donated a staggering $600 (and there are still donations coming in) for women’s cancers, which equates to funding a grant

for new research into ovarian cancer, and providing a room for the night for women who need to stay away from home to access treatment. Well done girls! We wish to sincerely thank

all those who attended, and generously donated towards this worthy cause and for also being good sports. We are still accepting donations until November 9, 2012 if anyone wishes to track me

down at squash or work to hand it to me, or wishes to donate online at http://qld. cancercouncilfundraising.org. au/distractionbydaiquiri. Ruth and Kellie Harris Nanum

IT was nice to have rain yesterday, it really cooled things down in Weipa. The children were having heaps of fun playing in the drains. It was so considerate

of Weipa Town Authority to make so many different types of drains for them to play in. Why have a BMX track when the drainage jumps are so much more fun? And the mud, what a pleasure it was to get it out of their clothes, and for them to track it through the house - so

Faith restored following kind donation RECENTLY Weipa Community Care Association Inc. (Weipa Community Centre) was broken into by some juveniles. During the break in some items were stolen including a POS that contained $50, drinks and chocolates, and worst of all the Royal Flying Doctors donation tin from our front counter that was almost full. Along with stealing from Weipa Community Care Association Inc., one of Weipa’s only registered charities for some 26 years, they trashed our home, Weipa’s only Neighbourhood House/Community Centre venue This breaks the heart of both those paid and volunteer staff, who work so hard to manage the many services delivered from our venue like the Western Cape NILS, Weipa Family Day Care, Western Cape Women’s Crisis Shelter, Weipa North West Cape Healing Service, food parcels, along with the Book Exchange, Community Centre Op Shop and Coffee Shop. When we work each day with people in need and crisis it is hard to fathom why anyone would do this to a place that provides shelter, emotional support and assistance to some of those in our community that are marginalised in some way.

much better than the dust. Nothing like walking home, just loved getting my shoes wet, and slipping and slopping through the mud. A male chauvinist has always stated that a women’s place is in the home, cleaning and looking after the kids - must work at

After your story in the paper about this misfortune, a ray of light shone through for those affected by this event, restoring our faith in the good of people and the community we love, live and work in. Susanne Gane read about this in The Western Cape Bulletin last week and generously donated $50 to replace some of the money stolen. Weipa Community Care Association Inc. wants to publicly thank Susanne for her kindness and generosity. To all of those who love this place if you see Susanne please take the time to stop, and say thank you from our community, our home. Tamara Freeman, CEO, Weipa Community Care Association Inc.

Pride in local operators at Tourism Awards ATTENDING the 14th annual Tropical North Queensland Tourism Awards recently, I was extremely pleased and proud to see the success of Cape York and Torres Strait Island operators. My congratulations must first go to Torres Strait Heritage Vanessa and Liberty Seekee have put their heart and soul into this project and for a small, Horn Island-based business to take out the trifecta is just amazing.

Weipa Town Authority I reckon. The picture abovetaken at least two hours after the rain yesterday. So much for drainage, and the wet season has not really started yet. We are in for so much fun this year. Name and address supplied

It was also particularly rewarding to see the number of Cape York organisations that were recognised – from Cook Shire Council to Bloomfield Lodge, Cape York Motorcycle Adventures, Hinterland Aviation and Sea Swift – and great to see Torres Shire Council Mayor Pedro Stephen and Cook Shire Council Mayor Peter Scott representing their regions. All these businesses are key to the success of the Cape York and Torres Strait regions; in taking out so many of the awards between them, it bodes very well for the future of tourism development.

Possible reintroduction of Weipa birthing services THE Cape York Hospital and Health Service (HHS) is investigating the possibility of reintroducing limited, low-risk birthing services at Weipa and Cooktown. Cape York Hospital and Health Service chief executive, Ms Susan Turner said a review of the capacity of the Weipa and Cooktown hospitals to deliver such a low-risk service currently is under way and a report is expected to be completed in December. “The findings of this report will determine the next stage of the process. “This will include the investigation of various suitable models of care to determine how appropriate they might be for Weipa and Cooktown. “A lot of work still remains to be done and it is very early days yet,� Ms Turner said. No birthing service can be introduced unless it can be shown to be both safe and sustainable over the long-term. “Low-risk’ is defined as applying to women who do not have a complex medical and obstetric history and who do not experience a complex antenatal period. Women who are deemed to be of higher risk will need to continue going to Cairns, or another major centre, to give birth safely even if a low-risk birthing service is introduced on the Cape. Birthing services at the Weipa Integrated Health Service and Cooktown Multi-Purpose Health Service were

scaled back progressively between 2001 and 2003. This was due to a lack of doctors available locally with the additional procedural skills in anaesthetics and obstetrics necessary to perform emergency caesarean sections should the need arise, or to deal with any other major medical complications during birth. This makes it unsafe to offer elective deliveries. “The investigation currently under way will look at what can be done to develop the additional procedural and anaesthetic skills necessary within the general medical staff at Weipa and Cooktown to sustain a low-risk birthing service,� Ms Turner said. Such a service also would require both the Weipa Integrated Health Service and Cooktown MPHS to attract and retain suitably qualified midwives and provide ongoing opportunities for maintaining and upgrading their skills. “The Cape York HHS’s priority in the development of any low-risk birthing services at Weipa and Cooktown is the safety of participating mothers and their babies,� Ms Turner said. For the present, all Cape York women should continue to go to Cairns, or another major facility, at 36 weeks – or earlier if so advised – to give birth to their babies safely. The Weipa Integrated Health Service and Cooktown MPHS still provide full ante-natal and postnatal care.

Sizzling fundraiser for sick kids THE sausages and onions were sizzling and the facepaint was flowing last Saturday morning at the Weipa Woolworths carpark fundraiser for the Fresh Food Kids Hospital Appeal. The Appeal has been running for over 20 years and has helped hospitals all over Australia (including the Cairns Base Hospital) and the Weipa Woolies crew were keen to jump in and raise some funds for sick kids. “A lot of our staff gave up their time to help at the fundraiser and it’s a credit to the whole store that we raised over $1000 from the sausage sizzle and face painting, thanks to the generosity of the Weipa community,� Weipa Woolworths store manager Jenny Everist said. “The social club also donated $400 which covered the cost of the sausages.�

With over $8 million raised last year, the Appeal has assisted hospitals and wards in buying heart rate monitors, ambulatory care facilities, medical imaging equipment and more, and funds raised at the Weipa Wo o l w o r t h s s t o r e during the appeal go

directly towards helping change sick kids’ lives. Pictured above are Thanawan Bophuet and Grace Sisson manning the barbecue, ably assisted by Heather Seaborn and Weipa Woolworths store manager Jenny Everist.

WESTERN Cape College Weipa Campus students will join half a million others from around the country to participate in an event called Music Count Us In. This event, to be held on Thursday, November 1 is funded by the Federal Government, and aims to highlight the importance of music education in Government schools. Every year the song choice reflects a different genre, WCC have included reggae, pop, and rock anthems in previous years. In 2012, the song to be sung is “Different People� which has more of a folk-y feel. “Different People� was written by Josh Pyke and music students in a song writing workshop held especially for the event. WCC music teacher, Jennifer Dakuna says “students have been really enthusiastic, learning the song during choir rehearsals, and music lessons, as well as during their lunchtimes.� Students, staff, parents, and community members are welcome to join us at the Croc Stage at 12.30pm November 1 to participate in this event.

Spooky dances to raise Kindy funds WEIPA’S finest witches, ghosts and other gothic mystical creatures will once again converge on the community centre for two nights of halloween entertainment. The Assembly Hall will be transformed into a scary dark disco haven with lots of tricks and treats for all. Starting Friday, November 2 kids from playgroup age right up to Year 9 can attend if they dare. Entry costs $5 per child which also includes a Popper and chips. The live DJ will have our local kids pumping to the latest tunes before he steps it up a notch for the ladies disco on Saturday, November 3.

Scary fashions: The 2012 Kindy halloween dances were a hit with the kids and ladies.

THE first meeting of the Weipa Governance Working Group since February 2012 was held on Wednesday, October 10 in Brisbane. The Working Group (RTA, the State Government and WTA) was established in 2009 to investigate the sustainability of Weipa as a stand-alone Council or incorporation with Cook Shire. The Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) has been assigned to analyse

For $15 entry the gals of Weipa can raid their dress-up boxes once again and head out for a night of full on dancing and socialising. Food and alcohol is available for purchase and there’s a stack of prizes up for grabs. Ensure your babysitter is booked in, dust off your dancing shoes and head along to help raise money for Weipa’s local kindergarden. The girls night out starts at 7.30pm on Saturday. The kids disco times for Friday, November 2 are as follows: playgroup to Year 1: 4.30 - 6pm; Years 2, 3, 4 and 5: 6 - 7pm; Years 6, 7, 8 and 9: 7:30- 9pm.

the financial implications of both models. Minister David Crisafulli the Minister for Local Government fully supports the process of the Working Group as it moves forward. Part of the economic modelling has been completed; we anticipate the QTC will complete the final report early in 2013. Once complete, we are planning an engagement process to seek the views of the

broader community to inform the decision making. We will carefully consider the options and implications of any changes to the governance of Weipa on all stakeholders; this will take time. I am also very happy to report that the new road alignment over Bertiehaugh has been graded, and an inspection of the road was undertaken on Thursday, October 18, 2012, by Cook Shire and Natural Resources. This is the final inspection prior to a final survey and dedication. To u r i s m Q u e e n s l a n d , Tourism Tropical North Queensland and our own soon to be operational Local Tourism Organisation (LTO)

will play critical roles in promoting the new road opening to tourists next season and the years to come. The Stones Crossing road, as it is known, was one of Cape York’s iconic ‘drives’ prior to its illegal closure in the late 1990s. It will provide a significant boost to the drive through tourism to Weipa which was badly impacted when the road was closed. Business will need to be mindful of the potential increase to visitation due to the road re-opening; the Chamber and WTA will need to collaborate closely on meeting potential demand for new infrastructure and services in Weipa.

Next round of site surveys for SOE Project starting soon AS part of Rio Tinto Alcan’s ongoing feasibility study into the South of Embley (SoE) Project, the next round of site survey work is due to commence during October. SoE Project Director, Laurie Hicks said Weipa residents may notice activity associated with the survey works over the next two months. “Site surveys are a normal, and critical, step in the feasibility stage of a major project such as the South of Embley,” Mr Hicks said. “While we will have work crews active in the South of Embley Project area as we firm up the engineering and design aspects of the Project, it is important to note that this does not indicate the Project construction has started. “The survey work is really all about getting the engineering details right, so that the Project can be built as planned, and as efficiently and as safely as possible.” Mr Hicks said residents

may notice traffic associated with the survey works on the Peninsula Development Road, with equipment such as backhoes and drill rigs being brought to site. “Local contractors will be used for much of the work, while we will also need to bring in some people and equipment from outside the local area.” The work crew will be based on site for the majority of the survey period, which is expected to commence in mid-October and be completed within two months. The lease area during the survey period will be closed to the general public from October 1 to ensure public safety. The feasibility works will include: • Further geotechnical surveys to assist with the construction of Project infrastructure; • Further geotechni cal surveys to determine the extent of any naturally occurring materials that

can be used in construction; and • Work along Amban Road at Coconut Creek crossing to establish a realigned section of road to enable the safe and efficient passage of large vehicles during construction. Mr Hicks said construction on the project will not commence until all regulatory approvals have been received and an internal investment decision has been made. “ R i o Ti n t o A l c a n i s working to provide the Commonwealth government with the information they need to approve the Project,” Mr Hicks said. “We anticipate the Commonwealth EIS will go on display in November this year, and we look forward to offering stakeholders the opportunity to take part in that process. “Of course, anyone with questions in regard to the Project can contact us at any time on 1800 308 938.”

Weipa residents may notice activity associated with South of Embley survey works over the next two months.

Dry season fires THE Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image (at right) on October 10, 2012 as it passed over the Cape York region. Dozens of fires can be seen burning across the Cape York Peninsula, many accompanied by large plumes of smoke which is blown to the west. Closer to home, a deliberately-lit fire filled the air with belching smoke near Nanum on Saturday afternoon (pictured below).

“With only 200 tickets to be sold in the draw the odds are pretty good, and if all tickets are not sold the raffle will still go ahead so the odds increase even further.� The raffle will be drawn at the Weipa Bowls Club this Friday night, October 26 from 7.30pm. Second prize is $500 cash and third prize is $100 cash. Tickets can be pre-purchased by phoning 4069 7535 and if all tickets are not sold prior to the draw they can be purchased at the Bowls Club on the night.

QUEENSLAND community and volunteer groups who help others can now apply for a share of $1.35 million to buy essential items to help their local communities. Communities Minister Tracy Davis said a total of $4 million would be made available for small grants over the next three years as part of the State Government’s Caring for our Community election commitment. “We understand the invaluable contribution community groups and their volunteers make to Queensland and we’re providing $1.35 million

this year for these small grants to support their terrific activities,� Ms Davis said. “Grants of up to $5,000 are available for the purchase of small equipment items and materials, such as computers, upgraded software or white goods. “Bigger grants of up to $15,000 may also be considered for more substantial projects, such as making food preparation areas compliant with regulations. “These small grants can go a long way to helping community organisations who are helping others.� Organisations can

apply for funding from now until 4pm, Monday, December 3, 2012 at www.communities.qld. gov.au Ms Davis said applying for funding under the new Caring for our Community program would be simple, effective and online. “We are keeping it simple so community organisations aren’t hit with onerous paperwork requirements,� she said. “Whether it’s for a printer, computer, a fridge or microwave, the cost of equipment mounts up quickly for community groups and a small boost like this can go a long way.�

HEALTH / OPINION

SCOOP

The Newshound Sniffing out the stories about our four-legged friends... WELL, what an adventurous October I have had! In the first week of the month my human mum and dad disappeared saying they were going “camping� and would see me when they came back. I don’t mind telling you I was pretty devastated, but my K9 mum Crispy kept me company and even though she doesn’t supply treats like my human mum does we still had some fun. When my mum and dad finally returned (looking and smelling rather interesting I must say after a week “on the road�) they grabbed my blanket, bowl and lead and put me in the car with the promise of the “time of my life�. It was my turn to go camping! I was very excited except for one small problem...turns out that in order to “go camping� you have to spend a couple of hours in the car...something I hate! Before we left home my human mum shoved something she called “a car sick tablet� rather uncermoniously down my throat, but I still felt queasy and nervous as we bounced along a red dirt road full of nasty little lumps my dad said were “corrugations�. After about an hour in the car there was a terrible smell coming from the engine and we pulled over as the car had overheated. My dad popped the bonnet and after a while was able to put water in some tank thing at the front of the engine so we could be on our way again. While we were stopped two strange looking dogs my mum called “dingoes� came out of the bush, and although they kept their distance they were circling around our car and checking me out...I was actually quite pleased to be on the move again as I don’t think they really wanted to be my friend. When we finally got to “the camp spot� I thought I must have died and gone to doggy heaven! There were no fences, no other people and plenty of clear, fresh crocodile-free water to swim in. My mum and dad set up something they called “the tent� but I could tell it was really a state-of-the-art dog kennel made just for me! My K9 mum Crispy and her humans came and visited us at “the camp spot� for a couple of days and we had so much fun together...I was a bit miffed I had to share my dog food and treats with her though. My dad took me to “check the pots for yabbies� each day...don’t know why he wanted to catch these things as when I tried to make friends with them they latched onto my nose with their big scarey claws! I was worried my humans wanted to keep them as pets, but it seems they ate them with garlic, so my position as number one pet is secure for now. After a blissful week of “camping� it was time to pack up and drive home again. My mum did the “car sick tablet� thing again but this time I actually relaxed and enjoyed the ride. Putting up with a few hours in a car with my human’s terrible singing is definitely worth it when you get to “go camping� and I can’t wait for our next adventure!

Good Life with Jeany Schall

Exercise and nutrtion for two ON an uplifting note quite a few families in Weipa are experiencing the joys of being pregnant and/or raising a little person. If you are one of these lucky ones you will find that during these times you get accustomed to reading a lot and get lots of information from pretty much everyone on what to eat and what to do. As a personal trainer and studying nutritionist I am here to help you out to make sure you get sufďŹ cient nutrients and exercise. During pregnancy and breastfeeding the female body is a powerhouse for not only maintaining itself but a second person as well. So for your body to work as the most efficient powerhouse it can it is important you give it the right fuel for the right tasks – e.g. supplying the foetus and/or infant with the nutrients it needs to have the best start in this world. As many of us know it is highly suggested to let go of all legal or illegal drugs while being pregnant, this includes cigarettes and alcohol. Reducing and eliminating the consumption of caffeine and any unnecessary drugs is also suggested. During my studies as a Nutritional Therapist I feel there are many other things to consider while being pregnant. They are easy to follow and may help you and your family to learn more about your body, foods and to lead a healthier lifestyle in the long run. D u r i n g p re g n a n c y y o u r body needs approximately 300 calories a day more than it would usually do. This varies during stages of development of the foetus and your personal calorie expenditure.

It is important to know that 300 calories is not that much and that being pregnant does not necessarily mean the green card to eat whatever quantities you want whenever you want, particularly if those cravings include things such as soft drinks, ice coffees, lollies, chips and other foods that are neither contributing to your or the baby’s health. And I am not talking about a piece of chocolate or a handful of chips, but more so pigging out on a whole block of chocolate (190g = 968 cal)or a bag of chips (175g = 891 cal). Instead of following cravings of the unhealthy sort it is important to supply you and the baby with healthy nutrients from a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy products and meats. A balanced diet is the key to healthy nutrition during pregnancy and a great variety of food will help you to succeed. Don’t be scared to try out new and exciting dishes as your food choices are likely to change a lot during the next year anyhow. So why not have fun with it? You have special needs for vitamins, minerals and ďŹ bre during this time and here are some suggestions to help you keep a balanced and nutrient-rich diet for you and your bub. Make sure you eat lots of fibre This will not only help your digestion and heartburn but it also helps to transport any toxins out of your body. Fruit, vegetables and whole grains are a great source of healthy foods. Try oats, chia, buckwheat, seeds, lentils, chickpeas, broccoli, peas and spinach. Skip the white processed bread as is has too much sugar

and too many additives. Vitamins and minerals These are found in vegetables and anything that has only one, or maybe two ingredients. Do you wonder what I mean? A banana only contains banana, a broccoli only broccoli, a steak only steak.  In order to eliminate harmful additives, sweeteners and stabilisers you will be on the safe side if you stick to this rule. Make sure that you wash your foods properly, cook, and store them properly to avoid any food-borne diseases. Calcium Calcium is a very vital mineral during this special time. Good sources are green leafy vegetables, almonds and dairy products. Try to choose healthy dairy products such as high quality, organic cheeses, pasteurised (but not homogenised) milk and Greek yoghurt. Iron is important Find good sources of iron in lean meats such as turkey, steak, chicken and eggs. Spinach, lentils and organic brown rice are great sources as well. Quinoa is my favourite iron-rich food. Vitamin C Found in a great variety of foods. While living up here ďŹ nd vitamin C in fresh fruit such as the local pawpaw, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, grapefruit and lemons. Folate One of the B vitamins, folate is essential development of the foetus in your belly. Folate-rich foods are beetroot, broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts, avocado and okra.               Vitamin A Vitamin A is also important for the development of your baby. It is found in a great variety of foods such as fish, eggs, and dairy products. Beta carotene

is a precursor of Vitamin A and therefore vital as well. Try to include some dried apricots into your diet. Drink plenty of water You need to drink at least two litres of water a day while being pregnant, and more if you’re retaining fluid or if it’s very hot. Your need for fluids also increases as your body’s uids increase in the course of the pregnancy. An adequate uid intake will help in the prevention of early labour, stretch marks, and constipation. Some foods to avoid are certain soft cheeses, cold meats which may be found at the deli as long as they are uncooked, and raw ďŹ sh and meat. Although you are encouraged to eat ďŹ sh at least once a week it is suggested that you stick to smaller ďŹ sh and ďŹ sh low in mercury. Make sure your ďŹ sh is fresh and has been well stored. In his book Conscious Eating, Michael Cousins suggests following super foods to boost your nutrition while being pregnant: natural brewers yeast, chlorella, spriulina, kelp and bee pollen. Although pregnancy is not a time to run marathons and exercise vigorously it is of high importance that you keep moving to avoid diabetes and for overall well-being for youself and your bub. Strengthening of the back and legs help you to keep mobile in the later stages of pregnancy and swimming will help you to relieve the heavy weight. Walking, stretching and swimming are highly recommended. And if you were doing sports before you can keep doing them until you feel uncomfortable. The important thing to look out for, especially in the ďŹ rst trimester and being in a hot climate, is not to overheat you body. Ask your personal trainer for an exercise regime which is tailored to your needs and the needs of your baby. Sitting around and not moving will certainly not contribute to either your or the baby’s health. In a nutshell, I suggest you treat your body with respect, love and care but keep in mind you are not sick, you are giving or preventing the best start for a healthy life with every choice you make.

Work Start participants step up PARTICIPANTS of the Indigenous PathWays Solutions Work Start Program recently took the opportunity to practice their communication and leadership skills. Each person was given the chance to run the morning safety meeting and to carry out other activities to build confidence. All participants have worked very hard to overcome barriers and perform to a high standard during the first four weeks of the program.

Meet the IPS Work Start Team TELENA WAIA I was born in Townsville and grew up there. On school holidays the family came to Napranum and Mapoon to be with family and loved ones. After Year 10 I decided to move to Napranum and look for work. I stayed here for about eight years and then moved backed to Townsville for a better education and

lifestyle for my son – at that time I was twenty one. So 19 years later I‛ve come back to Weipa to hopefully get work at Rio Tinto Alcan. My hobbies are making my own Indigenous jewellery, pottery and art work on canvas, which I sell at the markets. I also enjoy fishing, cooking, gardening and going on long walks on the beach or in the bush. I also like listening to music.

LOCAL lad Jack Dalla Costa celebrated his tenth birthday last weekend in a very special way, with some very special friends. Jack has always dreamed of forming a quad bike club so his parents, Emma and Jason Dalla Costa granted his wish, creating the “Wild Dogs” Mates of Jack Quad Club and held their inaugural get-together at the Lakes last weekend. Kicking off their quad adventure at 8am Jack was joined by ten of his four-wheeling buddies for a morning of quad bike riding around the Lakes followed by a barbecue lunch. Before they took to their fourwheelers the kids were presented with “Wild Dogs” Mates of Jack Quad Club T-shirts. “We were so overwhelmed by the kindness of Debra Ferarris at Cape

Dingo Embroidery for her support and the fantastic Wild Dog shirts she created and donated for Mates of Jack,” Emma said. “Deb not only supplied the shirts, but did an awesome job of the vinyl prints. Jack was so proud handing them out, and the kids were over the moon receiving them.” The quad-riding youngsters were also treated to a visit from Susanne Gane, the local ice cream lady, who generously cooled down the riders with deliciously cold ice creams. And to finish the celebrations Jack’s dad Jason, and fellow adult quad patrol rider Ashley Ginn, were thanked by the members of Wild Dogs with cream pies to the face...truly a birthday to remember for Jack. You can show your support for Jack by visiting the Mates of Jack facebook page.

“Wild Dogs” Mates of Jack Quad Club members get ready to have some four-wheeled fun.

Proudly wearing their new T-shirts (donated by Cape Dingo Embroidery) “Wild Dogs” Mates of Jack Quad Club members enjoy Jack’s 10th birthday celebrations at the Lakes last weekend.

ACCOMMODATION THE place to stay in Cairns!

Weipa Motel & Resort: a home-away-from-home By Corey Bousen

WEIPA Motel & Resort general manager Mary Bruno admits to some home-sickness when she and her partner, head chef Stephen Eyles, moved to Weipa in June to run the resort. But the experience also inspired the duo to put their heart and soul into providing the best possible experience for guests. “For our first week in town we struggled with missing our family in Brisbane so we set out wanting to make the Weipa Motel a home-away-from-home for our guests as we knew they would be missing their families too,” Mary told The Western Cape Bulletin. After it’s first full year of operation, the Albatross Bay Resort off-shoot has recently branched into offering function and conference services at it’s modern dining room. “We’ve done 10 functions in the past two months, including

seven conferences, while our take away catering platters are also proving popular,” Mary said. The function centre has a contemporary design a look that is appreciated by patrons attending events at the dedicated facility.

“The people who’ve come here for conferences often walk in and comment that they thought they’d walked into somewhere in Cairns or Brisbane. People walk in and say ‘wow’, and that was our intention,” Mary said. With the end of the year

fast approaching, the function room is proving popular for festive season celebrations with available dates for Christmas parties are almost exhausted. “We’ve already got seven Christmas parties booked so remaining dates that are available for parties are about to run out.” After a recent breakfast meeting at the Weipa Motel & Resort, The Western Cape Bulletin was impressed with the quality of the meal received, so I’m sure a big part of the recent success of the function and conference centre can easily be attributed to the amazing food prepared by Stephen Eyles, and Weipa is certainly lucky to have him in town. But Mary and Stephen both say they are grateful for the warm reception they’ve enjoyed over the last couple of months. “We would really like to thank the locals and our guests for making us feel welcomed in Weipa,” Mary said.

NUMBERS were slightly down this year for the local potters pre-Christmas exhibition which was held last Saturday evening. Those that turned out enjoyed the fabulous range on offer and the chance to purchase a unique handmade gift. The good news for those that couldn’t make it on Saturday night, is that there is still a fantastic range of pottery and paintings for sale at the Pottery Shop, from chimes to bakeware, functional pottery and art. The Pottery Shop (behind the WTA Offices at Rocky Point) is open every Thursday night at 7.30pm or arrangement can be made for times to suit with Jenny on 4069 9091, Debbie 0428 832 355 or Lyn 4069 7236. For those wishing to join a pottery beginners class, register your interest by leaving your name and contact details at the Pottery Club. We are hoping to hold a class before Christmas and will kick off again after the school holidays in the new year.

Cape York teams prepare for Allblacks carnival Alf Wilson story

A SIDE from Napranum and Mapoon called the Kookathii Natives will compete at the huge Cairns Allblacks carnival on October 27 and 28. Carnival organiser Sarah Addo said that Minh Kular from Kowanyama has also nominated (see story below). Sarah is confident more than 30 men’s teams and at least six women’s sides will compete as well as under 18 teams. Badu Island side Argun Warriors which is the defending Cairns Allblacks champions and also winner of the recent Murri carnival at Ipswich will also be there. Numerous players who competed at the 2012 Cape Cluster

comp will line up for various teams to which they have family connections. A carnival ball will be held at Michaelmas Cay ballroom, Pullman Reef Hotel Casino on the evening of October 25. Entertainers will include the Gunganyi Aboriginal Dancers, Malu Kiwai Sunset Dancers, Sita Ban Parade and the Wujal Wujal Band. Meanwhile the Palm Island Barracudas won the grand final of the 25th anniversary Bindal Allblacks carnival in Townsville earlier this month. Nineteen men’s teams and eight under 18 sides contested the popular carnival held at Brothers League’s Club’s Jack Manski Oval

on October 6 and 7. Barracudas last won the carnival way back in 1994 and its players and hundreds of supporters wept and celebrated after the side defeated Yungi Boongi 22-8 in the decider. “We played good hard Mission Murri football ‘cause we come from Palm Island and we are proud of that. All the boys played well and we thank all the supporters who are here,” Bulsey said. Yungi Boongi was coached by Jimmy Doolan and captained by former Newcastle Knights NRL star Milton Thaiday. “We had no excuses and the Barracudas were just too good for us. But my boys played their hearts out,” Thaiday said.

Cairns Allblacks carnival organiser Sarah Addo was at the Bindal carnival in Townsville.

CAPE Cluster premiers Kowanyama will field a side at this weekend’s big Allblacks carnival at Cairns (October 27 and 28). Players trained hard at Kowanyama on Monday night under coach Dave Kennedy who said there would be some different players from the team which won the Cape Cluster final. “There will be some different names in the forwards, we have lost our entire forward pack except Johnno Kennedy to a memorial team and that is going to hurt us,” Kennedy said. “I am trying to recruit a couple of big fellas to fill the gaps. “We are still going down there to try and win it, and we got the experience in 2011 and there will be no excuses regardless of who the other

teams recruit, even if some are NRL players. “It would be nice to win with a community-based team,” Kennedy said. The side is: Fitzroy Lawrence, 2 Ishmael Birchley, 3 Terry Tommy, 4 Cameron Josiah, 5 Tony Gibbo, 6 Stanley David (vice captain), 7 Elron Lawrence, 8 Dale Brumby, 9 Maxwell Luke (captain), 10 Raphael Lansen, 11 John The Kowanyama side prepares for the weekend’s Cairns Allblacks carnival under the watchful eye of coach Dave Kennedy.

Take Pride Program blitzes Cape communities SKILL360 Australia Northern Pride, through the Take Pride Program, has begun its latest community blitz, visiting more than 2,500 youngsters across Far North Queensland over a six-week period. The annual blitz sees Pride players visit 27 communities and 25 schools in the region, promoting junior rugby league, and delivering inspirational messages to children. The visits include communities and schools in the Torres Strait, Northern Peninsula Area, Cape York Peninsula, the Gulf of Carpentaria, Mount Isa, and remote outback towns such as Richmond, Hughenden and Cloncurry. Former State of Origin, North Queensland Cowboys and current Pride captain Ty Williams, along with retiring

Checking the depth: Just one of the challenges of bringing rugby league to Cape York communities.

full-back Chey Bird, are just two players visiting local schoolchildren. “The visits are aimed to further increase participation rates for the greatest game of all,” said Northern Pride chief executive officer Chris Sheppard. “The players will be holding rugby league clinics, but they will also be highlighting other important everyday

activities for children, such as good nutrition, reading programs and supporting school attendance. “It’s a real thrill for the kids to meet the players, and they love visiting the communities and putting some smiles on youngsters’ faces, as well as delivering important messages. “I’d like to thank our Take Pride Program supporters,

who make this really important program possible,” Mr Sheppard said. The blitz will see the Pride visit every community in Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf of Carpentaria, including the two-day under 11s Western Cape Development Camp in Weipa on October 25 and 26, and the Central Cape Suns (Weipa Junior Rugby League) season break-up.

Squash teams vye for finals berths ONLY one week to go before fixtures finish for the second season of Weipa Squash Club and then the preliminary, semi and grand finals during the following two weeks. A Grade teams in the last couple of weeks have tipped the scales and most teams seem to be on an even footing, but the placements for the finals depend on their performance during the whole season, not just in the last round. Team R2-D2 crumbled beneath Team Bobba Fett except for Sherie Warrior Woman. A1 Owen Witt was crushed by Shane Hearps (0-3) and A2 Aaron Schleich played a tough contest against Jeff Berry winning only one game (1-3). A3 Dallas Goodwin slowly petered away against Jarrod Stockman’s onslaught (0-3) and A4 Sherie Hinschen showed no mercy against Justin Hyytinnen (3-0). Team Han Solo narrowly

defeated Team Obi Wan Kenobi with A1 Grant Foster convincingly defeating Rod Wawryzniak even though Rod picked up and took the second game from him (3-1). A2 Nick Brookes beat Tom Murray by only one point in their five game marathon – what a game that would have been to witness! (3-2). A3 Glen Egan defeated Steve Lugsdin in a very sporting and lighthearted game (3-0), and Alex (as sub for A4 Wendy Long) certainly did not disgrace Wendy’s name when he lost the five game marathon against Cole Dalton (2-3). A5 Joe Buckley was warming up and won one game against Ben Braun in the third game but Ben won the other three (1-3). Team Darth Vader narrowly defeated Team Skywalker with the exception of the first and third lines. Rod (as sub for A1 Dave Edward) was defeated

by Luke Dorsett despite the second game being forced to long (0-3). A2 Rod Bielby faced stiff opposition in Ross Hyytinnen especially initially when the first game was long, then Ross took the second game, but it was Rod’s match (3-1). A3 Jay Dumbleton played well to win two games but could not take the match against Shane Spagnol (2-3). A4 Jay Murray went down in the first game to Chrisden Russ (as sub for Ben Tantau) then struggled to win the next one, easily won the third, then Chrisden forced the fourth to long (3-1). In B Grade, Team Yoda proved the strongest team of the night, but does this mean they will be the grand final winner? Team Chewbacca was the underdog against Team C-3PO but B1 Stephen Borg won his match against Wade (as sub

for Donna O’Neill) with Wade forcing the second game to long (3-0). B3 Melissa Ghee and Wayne Ailey played an athletic game with lots of wall and floor action (0-3), and B4 Ben Ghee gave Katie Delfs a scare in the third game when he won but the match was hers (1-3). B6 Yours Squashfully only lost by three points in an enjoyable but lengthy five game match against Shaun Heirdsfield (2-3). Team Ewoks put up a good fight in winning half as many games as Team Yoda, but could not match their skills except Jordan. B1 Randall O’Neill won by a staggering seven points but lost on games against Otis Drum (2-3). B2 Emma Thomas only lost by two points to Kerry Scales and would have been a good game to watch (2-3). Sam O’Neill (as sub for B3

Bianca Borg) lost to Brooke Gwynne (0-3), and B4 Jordan Browning lost the first two games but this is only because he was warming up to take the last three in this exciting five game match against Andrew Glen (3-2). B6 Charissa Hill won one game against Jess Hall in their usual friendly style (1-3). Team Leia proved far superior to Team Jabba with the exception of B3 Nicole Dearling who lost by only one game, not two games (2-3). B4 Tim Manning went down in the second game to Ian Newsome but came through victorious (3-1) and B5 Renee Williams also went down in the second game to Kristie Moran but won the match (3-1) B6 Lucy Boxall lost the third game against Brandon Waretini but she claimed victory (3-1). Yours squashfully, Ruth Harris

plastics. Grandmas has been a bit slow but there has been a few muddies for the taking along with a few Bream and small Trevally. It’s a good time to get your reels serviced or service them yourself as the bauxite dust gets in everywhere and it is so abrasive. A little rinse off after every trip and a full service every couple of months should

do the trick. There are some new lures and Daiwa reels in stock at Tackle World so call in and have a look at them. Don’t forget the big fishing comp up at Seisia this weekend with some really good prizes. Until next week, light breezes calm seas and tight lines.

two clients landed their prizes to become members of the Weipa Sailfish-on-fly club. The leads are worth a try for Trevally and Fingermark but there are some big Cod that want to steal your catch. I haven’t had any reports of Mackerel but it is always worth a troll between the markers. The Mission River has been fishing fairly consistently with the bridge being the pick of the spots, but work the tides. There are big Threadies and Blue Salmon taking soft plastics with Gulp 7” nuclear chicken being the pick. The first of the rain is due and with the rain the Grunter should put in a showing. The bridge has been holding some good-sized Queenfish taking live bait during the day, and at night the Blue Salmon come on the chew taking surface lures with a gusto. Red Beach has Blue Salmon and Queenfish, the odd Grunter and Catfish. Evans Landing is still producing some good fish with the better fish coming in the night on live bait. The main species being caught are Queenfish and Tarpon but be prepared to loose a few to sharks. The deep water of Hey Point has Fingermark and a few Grunter on baits and soft

ANOTHER week has come and gone with mixed weather conditions, and the lucky ones who had the time off found some hot fishing on the good days. Fishing offshore there have been some spectacular catches. The trouble is finding the fish, as some of the reefs are holding good fish while others seem to be devoid of life. Although I’m getting reports I’m only getting a general area so just get out there and keep trying until you find the fish. Down towards Red Cliffs and Piera Headland reefs are giving up some big Trout, Red Emperor and some large Stripies. Out on the three-mile reef there has been Longtail Tuna, and some Mackerel and Cobia, along with Fingermark and Tuskies. Notso Bright was out with two clients wanting to land a Sail and had to travel 40 miles to find the blue water, and find it he did. There were whales bait schools everywhere with birds and fish hammering them ‘til they formed up as bait balls around his boat. He was actually catching some of them by hand, and Tuna were hitting the side of the boat. With this much activity his

urday, October 27 and like me, the Weipa Dirt Karts like to try different or exciting things and are linking with the motocross club for a combined meeting. The meeting will start at 9am, that’s right in the morning, and you will have the chance to watch both forms of racing. We also have a sausage sizzle on the day to raise money for Finn Gordon,who was hurt while riding on a quad bike a

few months ago. The day will be a gold coin donation day and all monies raised will go directly to Finn and the Gordon Family to assist in his rehabilitation. So stay tuned race fans and remember, buying a dirt kart is more than a purchase, it’s a lifestyle purchase...plus its damn loads of fun. See you all Saturday morning at the track. – Derek

In a joint statement issued by John McDowall (Chair, Cape York Sustainable Futures), Greg McLean (Chair, Regional Organisations Councils Cape York), Mary Shephard (Chair Cape York Landcare), and Ralph De Lacey (North Queensland Miner’s Association) concerns are expressed that “the Australian Government is determined to get a nomination by February 2013 no matter what, and they are talking about the WHOLE of Cape York in relation to natural values. “Does this mean they are looking to the WHOLE of Cape York for their nomination?â€?

and is not following the UNESCO operational guidelines* and we further believe it is being used for political gain • We believe that there is NO part of Cape York that is under any immediate threat that requires this level of protection • That no one is in a better position than the people of Cape York Peninsula to determine what is best for their region as they have been looking after their country and managing their land in some cases, for thousands of years. • There is already sufficient legislation in place for any development application to protect Cape York Peninsula’s important conservation and environmental values. The statement also suggests “The people of Cape York and the Torres Strait: • Need to be educated first and that PRIOR to engaging the communities, any potential

QUEENSLAND has been out of the news recently, and I wonder why. I know news magically ceases to happen when our pollies are taking their holidays, but they were actually in parliament for three days last week. Large exclamation mark here, please. That’s not all; they have now racked up an impressive 12 days of work since last May, and that deserves several

in their comfortable homes by bedtime. If you think that sort of thing is depressing, look at this. Queenslanders have long been proud of their tradition of taking more unofficial days off that anyone else, not to mention more less-than-necessary sickies. Now we have lost our leading position, probably due to the Oberfßhrer firing anyone he doesn’t find slaving away at his desk. Those slackers in the ACT turn out to be even worse than we are and have carried off this year’s trophy. In fact, the Oberfßhrer has fired so many people recently

Cape Bulletin that “the consultation process is flawed.� “CYSF and the Cape York Peninsula Councils object to the people of Cape York Peninsula being used as a political tool in a campaign for the Australian Government elections due next year. “Such an important decision that involves land use designation in perpetuity needs careful and considered decision making. “Therefore, a comprehensive plan needs to be developed in conjunction with the local community prior to any final approval process being undertaken.�

* The UNESCO Operational Guidelines July 2012 suggests: II.C Tentative Lists 64. States Parties are encouraged to prepare their Tentative Lists with the participation of a wide variety of stakeholders, including site managers, local and regional governments, local communities, NGOs and other interested parties and partners.

that Joe Hockey had to lend him some moral support. He has urged Queensland unemployed not to worry, because the state budget predicts the creation of 15,000 new jobs this financial year. I’m sure that makes everyone feel very much better. I’m sorry, but although we have a little news again, none of it seems relevant to us up here. Nothing on wrapping up the Cape in World Heritage. A circus over alcohol management plans that will probably end badly. No sign that any of the 15,000 imaginary jobs will be sent up here. I guess we are on our own. Again.

I feel they are happy too, because the cabinet has decided to meet in what they laughingly refer to as “the remote Queensland town of Goondiwindi�. Do you know where that is? You will find it right down at the bottom of Queensland. It has slipped so far down the state that it might as well be in New South Wales. Yes, well, but it is only a hop and a skip from Brisbane.

CHAMP Ventures has acquired a majority interest in Sea Swift.

CHAMP Ventures has acquired a majority interest in Sea Swift, Chief Executive OfďŹ cer Fred White has announced. Investing alongside CHAMP Ventures is leading global private equity Ăžrm HarbourVest Partners, LLC. Mr White said the exciting partnership with CHAMP Ventures will allow the company to continue its growth plans. Ă’We have already enjoyed an exciting Ăžrst 25 years, and this is now the right time to position our company for the next 25 years of growth,Ă“said Mr White. Ă’T h i s a g r e e m e n t w i t h CHAMP Ventures provides us with many new opportunities, and itĂ•s a great time for everyone at Sea Swift, with our growing company entering

a new and exciting era. ÒFor our existing clients, itÕs business as usual. ÒOur fundamental values of service, safety and reliability, that form the basis of our professional reputation, will never change.Ó Mr White also confirmed that he, along with members of the senior Management team will acquire a stake in the business and he will assume the role as Managing-Director under the new ownership. ÒI would like to thank all our customers, clients, staff and partners for providing us with the amazing support to build Sea SwiftÕs business foundations over the last 25 years,Óhe said. ÒWe a r e n o w l o o k i n g forward to partnering with CHAMP Ventures as we enter

the next phase of our growth plans.Ă“ Paul Readdy, CHAMP Ventures Director, said: Ă’We are delighted to partner with Sea Swift and assist in developing the next phase of a business that has a quality management team, strong safety and business systems, and excellent growth potential in the marine logistics industry. Ă’CHAMP Ventures has a strong track record for supporting the capital and strategic requirements of high-growth companies, and Sea Swift is a great example of that.Ă“ Mr White said Sea Swift has a five-year horizon to signiĂžcantly improve marine cargo and project services associated with remote coastal communities and infrastructure projects.

ÒT h i s a g r e e m e n t w i t h CHAMP Ventures will allow us to continue to grow and expand our operation around Queensland, northern Australia and beyond,Óhe said. Sea Swift evolved as a result of the companyÕs founder, Sid Faithfull, transferring his business activities from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Cairns in 1987. The original fleet of four vessels has since grown and Sea Swift now has more than 300 staff and 25 vessels, with current turnover of about $100 million. Sea Swift is the industry pace setter in marine transport in northern Austral ia, with its fleet of purpose designed vessels delivering vital supplies and services to remote island and coastal communities and resource development outposts.

Election promises have disappeared AN elected member of parliament is required to do three main things: 1. Listen to and act for those who live in the electorate; 2. Represent their constituents in Parliament, and 3. Represent their party in both the community and Parliament. Our current State member for Cook is doing none of those things. For six months now I have sat back, listened and watched in great disappointment as those

many promises that were made have to no surprise, simply gone and disappeared into the space between many politicians’ ears. I can remember those flyers in the mail and the many advertisements that said that the good people of Mareeba and Mossman/Port Douglas would, in 90 days of being elected, have the opportunity to vote on de-amalgamation. We are now at 200 days and counting. I can also remember that the good people of North Queensland were promised a review and action immediately on

Lachlan Bensted.

Alcohol Management Plans. I can also remember that the good people of Queensland were promised less red tape for small business. However, I can’t remember being told that the Mareeba airport funding would be cut

beneath our feet within 90 days of being elected. I also cannot remember issues like deamalgamation and the like would be dragged out to the next election, and most probably be scrapped. L a s t l y, I c a n n o t remember being told that thousands of jobs, including many of my friend’s jobs, would be scrapped. Now, to be fair, I guess our current Member is doing something. He is representing his Party which is delivering a multi-million dollar office building in Brisbane.

He is representing a Party which have and will sell assets quicker than any Labor government could ever do, and most importantly he is representing a Party which has forgotten about towns like ours, who are made up of thousands of families who just want a real fair dinkum member of Parliament who won’t tell porkys and who will deliver the much-needed services and support that we need to prosper, and that will allow us to be competitive with our urban cousins.

LAST Friday evening, my daughter Kellie and I held a “Girl’s Night In” at our home, dedicated to our friends and relatives who are currently suffering from cancer and undergoing extensive treatment, and to those who have lost someone to cancer. We had a healthy turnout of twenty “girls” who made the evening the huge success it was. All had a great night with lots of laughs from playing party games, cocktails and jelly shots, and we partied on ‘til the wee hours of the morning. We apologise for the agonising jaw pain. The girls donated a staggering $600 (and there are still donations coming in) for women’s cancers, which equates to funding a grant

for new research into ovarian cancer, and providing a room for the night for women who need to stay away from home to access treatment. Well done girls! We wish to sincerely thank

all those who attended, and generously donated towards this worthy cause and for also being good sports. We are still accepting donations until November 9, 2012 if anyone wishes to track me

down at squash or work to hand it to me, or wishes to donate online at http://qld. cancercouncilfundraising.org. au/distractionbydaiquiri. Ruth and Kellie Harris Nanum

IT was nice to have rain yesterday, it really cooled things down in Weipa. The children were having heaps of fun playing in the drains. It was so considerate

of Weipa Town Authority to make so many different types of drains for them to play in. Why have a BMX track when the drainage jumps are so much more fun? And the mud, what a pleasure it was to get it out of their clothes, and for them to track it through the house - so

Faith restored following kind donation RECENTLY Weipa Community Care Association Inc. (Weipa Community Centre) was broken into by some juveniles. During the break in some items were stolen including a POS that contained $50, drinks and chocolates, and worst of all the Royal Flying Doctors donation tin from our front counter that was almost full. Along with stealing from Weipa Community Care Association Inc., one of Weipa’s only registered charities for some 26 years, they trashed our home, Weipa’s only Neighbourhood House/Community Centre venue This breaks the heart of both those paid and volunteer staff, who work so hard to manage the many services delivered from our venue like the Western Cape NILS, Weipa Family Day Care, Western Cape Women’s Crisis Shelter, Weipa North West Cape Healing Service, food parcels, along with the Book Exchange, Community Centre Op Shop and Coffee Shop. When we work each day with people in need and crisis it is hard to fathom why anyone would do this to a place that provides shelter, emotional support and assistance to some of those in our community that are marginalised in some way.

much better than the dust. Nothing like walking home, just loved getting my shoes wet, and slipping and slopping through the mud. A male chauvinist has always stated that a women’s place is in the home, cleaning and looking after the kids - must work at

After your story in the paper about this misfortune, a ray of light shone through for those affected by this event, restoring our faith in the good of people and the community we love, live and work in. Susanne Gane read about this in The Western Cape Bulletin last week and generously donated $50 to replace some of the money stolen. Weipa Community Care Association Inc. wants to publicly thank Susanne for her kindness and generosity. To all of those who love this place if you see Susanne please take the time to stop, and say thank you from our community, our home. Tamara Freeman, CEO, Weipa Community Care Association Inc.

Pride in local operators at Tourism Awards ATTENDING the 14th annual Tropical North Queensland Tourism Awards recently, I was extremely pleased and proud to see the success of Cape York and Torres Strait Island operators. My congratulations must first go to Torres Strait Heritage Vanessa and Liberty Seekee have put their heart and soul into this project and for a small, Horn Island-based business to take out the trifecta is just amazing.

Weipa Town Authority I reckon. The picture abovetaken at least two hours after the rain yesterday. So much for drainage, and the wet season has not really started yet. We are in for so much fun this year. Name and address supplied

It was also particularly rewarding to see the number of Cape York organisations that were recognised – from Cook Shire Council to Bloomfield Lodge, Cape York Motorcycle Adventures, Hinterland Aviation and Sea Swift – and great to see Torres Shire Council Mayor Pedro Stephen and Cook Shire Council Mayor Peter Scott representing their regions. All these businesses are key to the success of the Cape York and Torres Strait regions; in taking out so many of the awards between them, it bodes very well for the future of tourism development.

Possible reintroduction of Weipa birthing services THE Cape York Hospital and Health Service (HHS) is investigating the possibility of reintroducing limited, low-risk birthing services at Weipa and Cooktown. Cape York Hospital and Health Service chief executive, Ms Susan Turner said a review of the capacity of the Weipa and Cooktown hospitals to deliver such a low-risk service currently is under way and a report is expected to be completed in December. “The findings of this report will determine the next stage of the process. “This will include the investigation of various suitable models of care to determine how appropriate they might be for Weipa and Cooktown. “A lot of work still remains to be done and it is very early days yet,� Ms Turner said. No birthing service can be introduced unless it can be shown to be both safe and sustainable over the long-term. “Low-risk’ is defined as applying to women who do not have a complex medical and obstetric history and who do not experience a complex antenatal period. Women who are deemed to be of higher risk will need to continue going to Cairns, or another major centre, to give birth safely even if a low-risk birthing service is introduced on the Cape. Birthing services at the Weipa Integrated Health Service and Cooktown Multi-Purpose Health Service were

scaled back progressively between 2001 and 2003. This was due to a lack of doctors available locally with the additional procedural skills in anaesthetics and obstetrics necessary to perform emergency caesarean sections should the need arise, or to deal with any other major medical complications during birth. This makes it unsafe to offer elective deliveries. “The investigation currently under way will look at what can be done to develop the additional procedural and anaesthetic skills necessary within the general medical staff at Weipa and Cooktown to sustain a low-risk birthing service,� Ms Turner said. Such a service also would require both the Weipa Integrated Health Service and Cooktown MPHS to attract and retain suitably qualified midwives and provide ongoing opportunities for maintaining and upgrading their skills. “The Cape York HHS’s priority in the development of any low-risk birthing services at Weipa and Cooktown is the safety of participating mothers and their babies,� Ms Turner said. For the present, all Cape York women should continue to go to Cairns, or another major facility, at 36 weeks – or earlier if so advised – to give birth to their babies safely. The Weipa Integrated Health Service and Cooktown MPHS still provide full ante-natal and postnatal care.

Sizzling fundraiser for sick kids THE sausages and onions were sizzling and the facepaint was owing last Saturday morning at the Weipa Woolworths carpark fundraiser for the Fresh Food Kids Hospital Appeal. The Appeal has been running for over 20 years and has helped hospitals all over Australia (including the Cairns Base Hospital) and the Weipa Woolies crew were keen to jump in and raise some funds for sick kids. “A lot of our staff gave up their time to help at the fundraiser and it’s a credit to the whole store that we raised over $1000 from the sausage sizzle and face painting, thanks to the generosity of the Weipa community,â€? Weipa Woolworths store manager Jenny Everist said. “The social club also donated $400 which covered the cost of the sausages.â€?

With over $8 million raised last year, the Appeal has assisted hospitals and wards in buying heart rate monitors, ambulatory care facilities, medical imaging equipment and more, and funds raised at the Weipa Wo o l w o r t h s s t o r e during the appeal go

directly towards helping change sick kids’ lives. Pictured above are Thanawan Bophuet and Grace Sisson manning the barbecue, ably assisted by Heather Seaborn and Weipa Woolworths store manager Jenny Everist.

WESTERN Cape College Weipa Campus students will join half a million others from around the country to participate in an event called Music Count Us In. This event, to be held on Thursday, November 1 is funded by the Federal Government, and aims to highlight the importance of music education in Government schools. Every year the song choice reflects a different genre, WCC have included reggae, pop, and rock anthems in previous years. In 2012, the song to be sung is “Different People� which has more of a folk-y feel. “Different People� was written by Josh Pyke and music students in a song writing workshop held especially for the event. WCC music teacher, Jennifer Dakuna says “students have been really enthusiastic, learning the song during choir rehearsals, and music lessons, as well as during their lunchtimes.� Students, staff, parents, and community members are welcome to join us at the Croc Stage at 12.30pm November 1 to participate in this event.

Spooky dances to raise Kindy funds WEIPA’S finest witches, ghosts and other gothic mystical creatures will once again converge on the community centre for two nights of halloween entertainment. The Assembly Hall will be transformed into a scary dark disco haven with lots of tricks and treats for all. Starting Friday, November 2 kids from playgroup age right up to Year 9 can attend if they dare. Entry costs $5 per child which also includes a Popper and chips. The live DJ will have our local kids pumping to the latest tunes before he steps it up a notch for the ladies disco on Saturday, November 3.

Scary fashions: The 2012 Kindy halloween dances were a hit with the kids and ladies.

THE first meeting of the Weipa Governance Working Group since February 2012 was held on Wednesday, October 10 in Brisbane. The Working Group (RTA, the State Government and WTA) was established in 2009 to investigate the sustainability of Weipa as a stand-alone Council or incorporation with Cook Shire.

For $15 entry the gals of Weipa can raid their dress-up boxes once again and head out for a night of full on dancing and socialising. Food and alcohol is available for purchase and there’s a stack of prizes up for grabs. Ensure your babysitter is booked in, dust off your dancing shoes and head along to help raise money for Weipa’s local kindergarden. The girls night out starts at 7.30pm on Saturday. The kids disco times for Friday, November 2 are as follows: playgroup to Year 1: 4.30 - 6pm; Years 2, 3, 4 and 5: 6 - 7pm; Years 6, 7, 8 and 9: 7:30- 9pm.

the financial implications of both models. Minister David Crisafulli the Minister for Local Government fully supports the process of the Working Group as it moves forward. Part of the economic modelling has been completed; we anticipate the QTC will complete the final report early in 2013. Once complete, we are planning an engagement process to seek the views of the

broader community to inform the decision making. We will carefully consider the options and implications of any changes to the governance of Weipa on all stakeholders; this will take time. I am also very happy to report that the new road alignment over Bertiehaugh has been graded, and an inspection of the road was undertaken on Thursday, October 18, 2012, by Cook Shire and Natural Resources. This is the final inspection prior to a final survey and dedication. To u r i s m Q u e e n s l a n d , Tourism Tropical North Queensland and our own soon to be operational Local Tourism Organisation (LTO)

will play critical roles in promoting the new road opening to tourists next season and the years to come. The Stones Crossing road, as it is known, was one of Cape York’s iconic ‘drives’ prior to its illegal closure in the late 1990s. It will provide a significant boost to the drive through tourism to Weipa which was badly impacted when the road was closed. Business will need to be mindful of the potential increase to visitation due to the road re-opening; the Chamber and WTA will need to collaborate closely on meeting potential demand for new infrastructure and services in Weipa.

Next round of site surveys for SOE Project starting soon AS part of Rio Tinto Alcan’s ongoing feasibility study into the South of Embley (SoE) Project, the next round of site survey work is due to commence during October. SoE Project Director, Laurie Hicks said Weipa residents may notice activity associated with the survey works over the next two months. “Site surveys are a normal, and critical, step in the feasibility stage of a major project such as the South of Embley,” Mr Hicks said. “While we will have work crews active in the South of Embley Project area as we firm up the engineering and design aspects of the Project, it is important to note that this does not indicate the Project construction has started. “The survey work is really all about getting the engineering details right, so that the Project can be built as planned, and as efficiently and as safely as possible.” Mr Hicks said residents

may notice traffic associated with the survey works on the Peninsula Development Road, with equipment such as backhoes and drill rigs being brought to site. “Local contractors will be used for much of the work, while we will also need to bring in some people and equipment from outside the local area.” The work crew will be based on site for the majority of the survey period, which is expected to commence in mid-October and be completed within two months. The lease area during the survey period will be closed to the general public from October 1 to ensure public safety. The feasibility works will include: • Further geotechnical surveys to assist with the construction of Project infrastructure; • Further geotechni cal surveys to determine the extent of any naturally occurring materials that

can be used in construction; and • Work along Amban Road at Coconut Creek crossing to establish a realigned section of road to enable the safe and efficient passage of large vehicles during construction. Mr Hicks said construction on the project will not commence until all regulatory approvals have been received and an internal investment decision has been made. “ R i o Ti n t o A l c a n i s working to provide the Commonwealth government with the information they need to approve the Project,” Mr Hicks said. “We anticipate the Commonwealth EIS will go on display in November this year, and we look forward to offering stakeholders the opportunity to take part in that process. “Of course, anyone with questions in regard to the Project can contact us at any time on 1800 308 938.”

Weipa residents may notice activity associated with South of Embley survey works over the next two months.

Dry season fires THE Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image (at right) on October 10, 2012 as it passed over the Cape York region. Dozens of fires can be seen burning across the Cape York Peninsula, many accompanied by large plumes of smoke which is blown to the west. Closer to home, a deliberately-lit fire filled the air with belching smoke near Nanum on Saturday afternoon (pictured below).

SCOOP

The Newshound Sniffing out the stories about our four-legged friends... WELL, what an adventurous October I have had! )N THE l RST WEEK OF THE MONTH MY HUMAN MUM AND DAD disappeared saying they were going “camping� and would see me when they came back. I don’t mind telling you I was pretty devastated, but my K9 mum Crispy kept me company and even though she doesn’t supply treats like my human mum does we still had some fun. 7HEN MY MUM AND DAD l NALLY RETURNED LOOKING AND smelling rather interesting I must say after a week “on the road�) they grabbed my blanket, bowl and lead and put me in the car with the promise of the “time of my life�. It was my turn to go camping! I was very excited except for one small problem...turns out that in order to “go camping� you have to spend a couple of hours in the car...something I hate! Before we left home my human mum shoved something she called “a car sick tablet� rather uncermoniously down my throat, but I still felt queasy and nervous as we bounced along a red dirt road full of nasty little lumps my dad said were “corrugations�. After about an hour in the car there was a terrible smell coming from the engine and we pulled over as the car had overheated. My dad popped the bonnet and after a while was able to put water in some tank thing at the front of the engine so we could be on our way again. While we were stopped two strange looking dogs my mum called “dingoes� came out of the bush, and although they kept their distance they were circling around our car and checking me out...I was actually quite pleased to be on the move again as I don’t think they really wanted to be my friend. 7HEN WE l NALLY GOT TO hTHE CAMP SPOTv ) THOUGHT ) must have died and gone to doggy heaven! There were no fences, no other people and plenty of clear, fresh crocodile-free water to swim in. My mum and dad set up something they called “the tent� but I could tell it was really a state-of-the-art dog kennel made just for me! My K9 mum Crispy and her humans came and visited us at “the camp spot� for a couple of days and we had so much fun together...I was a bit miffed I had to share my dog food and treats with her though. My dad took me to “check the pots for yabbies� each day...don’t know why he wanted to catch these things as when I tried to make friends with them they latched onto my nose with their big scarey claws! I was worried my humans wanted to keep them as pets, but it seems they ate them with garlic, so my position as number one pet is secure for now. After a blissful week of “camping� it was time to pack up and drive home again. My mum did the “car sick tablet� thing again but this time I actually relaxed and enjoyed the ride. Putting up with a few hours in a car with my human’s TERRIBLE SINGING IS DEl NITELY WORTH IT WHEN YOU GET TO hGO camping� and I can’t wait for our next adventure!

Good Life with Jeany Schall

Exercise and nutrtion for two ON an uplifting note quite a few families in Weipa are experiencing the joys of being pregnant and/or raising a little person. If you are one of these lucky ones you will find that during these times you get accustomed to reading a lot and get lots of information from pretty much everyone on what to eat and what to do. As a personal trainer and studying nutritionist I am here to help you out to make sure you get sufďŹ cient nutrients and exercise. During pregnancy and breastfeeding the female body is a powerhouse for not only maintaining itself but a second person as well. So for your body to work as the most efficient powerhouse it can it is important you give it the right fuel for the right tasks – e.g. supplying the foetus and/or infant with the nutrients it needs to have the best start in this world. As many of us know it is highly suggested to let go of all legal or illegal drugs while being pregnant, this includes cigarettes and alcohol. Reducing and eliminating the consumption of caffeine and any unnecessary drugs is also suggested. During my studies as a Nutritional Therapist I feel there are many other things to consider while being pregnant. They are easy to follow and may help you and your family to learn more about your body, foods and to lead a healthier lifestyle in the long run. D u r i n g p re g n a n c y y o u r body needs approximately 300 calories a day more than it would usually do. This varies during stages of development of the foetus and your personal calorie expenditure.

It is important to know that 300 calories is not that much and that being pregnant does not necessarily mean the green card to eat whatever quantities you want whenever you want, particularly if those cravings include things such as soft drinks, ice coffees, lollies, chips and other foods that are neither contributing to your or the baby’s health. And I am not talking about a piece of chocolate or a handful of chips, but more so pigging out on a whole block of chocolate (190g = 968 cal)or a bag of chips (175g = 891 cal). Instead of following cravings of the unhealthy sort it is important to supply you and the baby with healthy nutrients from a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy products and meats. A balanced diet is the key to healthy nutrition during pregnancy and a great variety of food will help you to succeed. Don’t be scared to try out new and exciting dishes as your food choices are likely to change a lot during the next year anyhow. So why not have fun with it? You have special needs for vitamins, minerals and ďŹ bre during this time and here are some suggestions to help you keep a balanced and nutrient-rich diet for you and your bub. Make sure you eat lots of fibre This will not only help your digestion and heartburn but it also helps to transport any toxins out of your body. Fruit, vegetables and whole grains are a great source of healthy foods. Try oats, chia, buckwheat, seeds, lentils, chickpeas, broccoli, peas and spinach. Skip the white processed bread as is has too much sugar

and too many additives. Vitamins and minerals These are found in vegetables and anything that has only one, or maybe two ingredients. Do you wonder what I mean? A banana only contains banana, a broccoli only broccoli, a steak only steak.  In order to eliminate harmful additives, sweeteners and stabilisers you will be on the safe side if you stick to this rule. Make sure that you wash your foods properly, cook, and store them properly to avoid any food-borne diseases. Calcium Calcium is a very vital mineral during this special time. Good sources are green leafy vegetables, almonds and dairy products. Try to choose healthy dairy products such as high quality, organic cheeses, pasteurised (but not homogenised) milk and Greek yoghurt. Iron is important Find good sources of iron in lean meats such as turkey, steak, chicken and eggs. Spinach, lentils and organic brown rice are great sources as well. Quinoa is my favourite iron-rich food. Vitamin C Found in a great variety of foods. While living up here ďŹ nd vitamin C in fresh fruit such as the local pawpaw, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, grapefruit and lemons. Folate One of the B vitamins, folate is essential development of the foetus in your belly. Folate-rich foods are beetroot, broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts, avocado and okra.               Vitamin A Vitamin A is also important for the development of your baby. It is found in a great variety of foods such as fish, eggs, and dairy products. Beta carotene

is a precursor of Vitamin A and therefore vital as well. Try to include some dried apricots into your diet. Drink plenty of water You need to drink at least two litres of water a day while being pregnant, and more if you’re retaining fluid or if it’s very hot. Your need for fluids also increases as your body’s uids increase in the course of the pregnancy. An adequate uid intake will help in the prevention of early labour, stretch marks, and constipation. Some foods to avoid are certain soft cheeses, cold meats which may be found at the deli as long as they are uncooked, and raw ďŹ sh and meat. Although you are encouraged to eat ďŹ sh at least once a week it is suggested that you stick to smaller ďŹ sh and ďŹ sh low in mercury. Make sure your ďŹ sh is fresh and has been well stored. In his book Conscious Eating, Michael Cousins suggests following super foods to boost your nutrition while being pregnant: natural brewers yeast, chlorella, spriulina, kelp and bee pollen. Although pregnancy is not a time to run marathons and exercise vigorously it is of high importance that you keep moving to avoid diabetes and for overall well-being for youself and your bub. Strengthening of the back and legs help you to keep mobile in the later stages of pregnancy and swimming will help you to relieve the heavy weight. Walking, stretching and swimming are highly recommended. And if you were doing sports before you can keep doing them until you feel uncomfortable. The important thing to look out for, especially in the ďŹ rst trimester and being in a hot climate, is not to overheat you body. Ask your personal trainer for an exercise regime which is tailored to your needs and the needs of your baby. Sitting around and not moving will certainly not contribute to either your or the baby’s health. In a nutshell, I suggest you treat your body with respect, love and care but keep in mind you are not sick, you are giving or preventing the best start for a healthy life with every choice you make.

Each person was given the chance to run the morning safety meeting and to carry out other activities to build conÞdence. Al l participants have worked very hard to overcome barriers and perform to a high standard during the Þrst four weeks of the program.

I was born in Townsville and grew up there. On school holidays the family came to Napranum and Mapoon to be with family and loved ones. After Year 10 I decided to move to Napranum and look for work. I stayed here for about eight years and then moved backed to Townsville for a better education and

lifestyle for my son – at that time I was twenty one. So 19 years later I‛ve come back to Weipa to hopefully get work at Rio Tinto Alcan. My hobbies are making my own Indigenous jewellery, pottery and art work on canvas, which I sell at the markets. I also enjoy fishing, cooking, gardening and going on long walks on the beach or in the bush. I also like listening to music.

on October 6 and 7. Barracudas last won the carnival way back in 1994 and its players and hundreds of supporters wept and celebrated after the side defeated Yungi Boongi 22-8 in the decider. ÒWe played good hard Mission Murri football Ôcause we come from Palm Island and we are proud of that. All the boys played well and we thank all the supporters who are here,ÓBulsey said. Yungi Boongi was coached by Jimmy Doolan and captained by former Newcastle Knights NRL star Milton Thaiday. ÒWe had no excuses and the Barracudas were just too good for us. But my boys played their hearts out,ÓThaiday said.

SKILL360 Australia Northern Pride, through the Take Pride Program, has begun its latest community blitz, visiting more than 2,500 youngsters across Far North Queensland over a six-week period. The annual bl itz sees Pride players visit 27 communities and 25 schools in the region, promoting junior rugby league, and delivering inspirational messages to children. The visits include communities and school s in the Torres Strait, Northern Peninsula Area, Cape York Peninsul a, the Gul f of Carpentaria, Mount Isa, and remote outback towns such as Richmond, Hughenden and Cloncurry. Former State of Origin, North Queensland Cowboys and current Pride captain Ty Williams, along with retiring

full-back Chey Bird, are just two players visiting local schoolchildren. ÒThe visits are aimed to further increase participation rates for the greatest game of all,Ó said Northern Pride chief executive ofÞcer Chris Sheppard. ÒThe players will be holding rugby league clinics, but they will also be highlighting other important everyday

activities for children, such as good nutrition, reading programs and supporting school attendance. ÒItÕs a real thrill for the kids to meet the players, and they love visiting the communities and putting some smiles on youngstersÕfaces, as well as delivering important messages. ÒIÕd like to thank our Take Pride Program supporters,

who make this really important program possible,Ó Mr Sheppard said. The blitz will see the Pride visit every community in Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf of Carpentaria, including the two-day under 11s Western Cape Development Camp in Weipa on October 25 and 26, and the Central Cape Suns (Weipa Junior Rugby League) season break-up.

Squash teams vye for finals berths ONLY one week to go before fixtures finish for the second season of Weipa Squash Club and then the preliminary, semi and grand finals during the following two weeks. A Grade teams in the last couple of weeks have tipped the scales and most teams seem to be on an even footing, but the placements for the Þnals depend on their performance during the whole season, not just in the last round. Team R2-D2 crumbled beneath Team Bobba Fett except for Sherie Warrior Woman. A1 Owen Witt was crushed by Shane Hearps (0-3) and A2 Aaron Schleich played a tough contest against Jeff Berry winning only one game (1-3). A3 Dal l as Goodwin slowly petered away against Jarrod StockmanÕs onslaught (0-3) and A4 Sherie Hinschen showed no mercy against Justin Hyytinnen (3-0). Team Han Solo narrowly

defeated Team Obi Wan Kenobi with A1 Grant Foster convincingly defeating Rod Wawryzniak even though Rod picked up and took the second game from him (3-1). A2 Nick Brookes beat Tom Murray by only one point in their five game marathon Ð what a game that would have been to witness! (3-2). A3 Glen Egan defeated Steve Lugsdin in a very sporting and lighthearted game (3-0), and Alex (as sub for A4 Wendy Long) certainly did not disgrace WendyÕs name when he lost the Þve game marathon against Cole Dalton (2-3). A5 Joe Buckley was warming up and won one game against Ben Braun in the third game but Ben won the other three (1-3). Team Darth Vader narrowly defeated Team Skywalker with the exception of the Þrst and third lines. Rod (as sub for A1 Dave Edward) was defeated

by Luke Dorsett despite the second game being forced to long (0-3). A2 Rod Bielby faced stiff opposition in Ross Hyytinnen especially initially when the Þrst game was long, then Ross took the second game, but it was RodÕs match (3-1). A3 Jay Dumbleton played well to win two games but coul d not take the match against Shane Spagnol (2-3). A4 Jay Murray went down in the Þrst game to Chrisden Russ (as sub for Ben Tantau) then struggled to win the next one, easily won the third, then Chrisden forced the fourth to long (3-1). In B Grade, Team Yoda proved the strongest team of the night, but does this mean they will be the grand final winner? Team Chewbacca was the underdog against Team C-3PO but B1 Stephen Borg won his match against Wade (as sub

for Donna OÕNeill) with Wade forcing the second game to long (3-0). B3 Mel issa Ghee and Wayne Ailey played an athletic game with lots of wall and ß oor action (0-3), and B4 Ben Ghee gave Katie Delfs a scare in the third game when he won but the match was hers (1-3). B6 Yours Squashful l y only lost by three points in an enjoyable but lengthy Þve game match against Shaun HeirdsÞeld (2-3). Team Ewoks put up a good Þght in winning half as many games as Team Yoda, but could not match their skills except Jordan. B1 Randall OÕNeill won by a staggering seven points but lost on games against Otis Drum (2-3). B2 Emma Thomas only lost by two points to Kerry Scales and would have been a good game to watch (2-3). Sam OÕNeill (as sub for B3

Bianca Borg) lost to Brooke Gwynne (0-3), and B4 Jordan Browning lost the first two games but this is only because he was warming up to take the last three in this exciting Þve game match against Andrew Glen (3-2). B6 Charissa Hill won one game against Jess Hall in their usual friendly style (1-3). Team Leia proved far superior to Team Jabba with the exception of B3 Nicole Dearling who lost by only one game, not two games (2-3). B4 Tim Manning went down in the second game to Ian Newsome but came through victorious (3-1) and B5 Renee Williams also went down in the second game to Kristie Moran but won the match (3-1) B6 Lucy Boxall lost the third game against Brandon Waretini but she claimed victory (3-1).

plastics. Grandmas has been a bit slow but there has been a few muddies for the taking along with a few Bream and small Trevally. It’s a good time to get your reels serviced or service them yourself as the bauxite dust gets in everywhere and it is so abrasive. A little rinse off after every trip and a full service every couple of months should

do the trick. There are some new lures and Daiwa reels in stock at Tackle World so call in and have a look at them. Don’t forget the big fishing comp up at Seisia this weekend with some really good prizes. Until next week, light breezes calm seas and tight lines.

two clients landed their prizes to become members of the Weipa Sailfish-on-fly club. The leads are worth a try for Trevally and Fingermark but there are some big Cod that want to steal your catch. I haven’t had any reports of Mackerel but it is always worth a troll between the markers. The Mission River has been fishing fairly consistently with the bridge being the pick of the spots, but work the tides. There are big Threadies and Blue Salmon taking soft plastics with Gulp 7” nuclear chicken being the pick. The first of the rain is due and with the rain the Grunter should put in a showing. The bridge has been holding some good-sized Queenfish taking live bait during the day, and at night the Blue Salmon come on the chew taking surface lures with a gusto. Red Beach has Blue Salmon and Queenfish, the odd Grunter and Catfish. Evans Landing is still producing some good fish with the better fish coming in the night on live bait. The main species being caught are Queenfish and Tarpon but be prepared to loose a few to sharks. The deep water of Hey Point has Fingermark and a few Grunter on baits and soft

ANOTHER week has come and gone with mixed weather conditions, and the lucky ones who had the time off found some hot fishing on the good days. Fishing offshore there have been some spectacular catches. The trouble is finding the fish, as some of the reefs are holding good fish while others seem to be devoid of life. Although I’m getting reports I’m only getting a general area so just get out there and keep trying until you find the fish. Down towards Red Cliffs and Piera Headland reefs are giving up some big Trout, Red Emperor and some large Stripies. Out on the three-mile reef there has been Longtail Tuna, and some Mackerel and Cobia, along with Fingermark and Tuskies. Notso Bright was out with two clients wanting to land a Sail and had to travel 40 miles to find the blue water, and find it he did. There were whales bait schools everywhere with birds and fish hammering them ‘til they formed up as bait balls around his boat. He was actually catching some of them by hand, and Tuna were hitting the side of the boat. With this much activity his
