Golfers dig deep for Legacy

TWENTY TWO golfers in 11 teams attended the inaugural Carpentaria Golf Club’s Remembrance Golf Day last Saturday. Golf carts were auctioned before the tee-off and the bidding was fast and furious, with some golfers even winning bids for carts they did not intend to use, happily donating to the Legacy cause. Following the ninehole, two-ball ambrose goose club raffles were held at the clubhouse and a total of $1690 was raised for Legacy throughout the day’s activities. Event organisers Sharon Gardiner (Carpentaria Golf Club manager), Wendy Grainger (club captain) and Justin Hyytinen (president) said the day was a great success. “We would like to thank all the people, and local businesses in Weipa, who donated prizes to the goose club raffle, and all the people who bought carts at the auction,” Sharon said.

GOLFING FOR A CAUSE: Weipa RSL Sub-Branch member Ian Pressley, Carpentaria Golf Club manager Sharon Gardiner, Carpentaria Golf Club president Justin Hyytinen and Weipa RSL Sub-Branch members Shirley Russell and John Evans.

Just a little more help needed to get Les mobile W E I PA m a n L e s Borthwick is well on his way to receiving a new set of wheels – albeit on a mobility scooter - thanks to the generosity of Far northern locals. Federal MP Warren Entsch launched an appeal for Mr Borthwick last month after hearing about his traumatic series of surgeries that resulted from what should have been a routine knee replacement. After battling a super bug and major complications from the seven operations he has gone through, Mr Borthwick now has a metrelong steel rod in his leg and is restricted to a wheelchair. “He has been in and out of hospitals in Cairns and Gordonvale for almost 24 months now, and would return to Weipa in a heartbeat – but for his leg, which he can’t bend or put any weight on,” Mr Entsch explained. As of November 6, the

Les Borthwick Scooter Appeal had received donations totalling 40 per cent of the cost of the new mobility scooter, which is being provided by the Scooter Shed in Cairns. “This is a fantastic response and I thank Far Northerners for digging deep for Les,” Mr Entsch said. “But the journey is not over yet – Les has now had to leave hospital and is living in a unit in Edmonton temporarily while he continues to receive physiotherapy. “He still wants to get back to Weipa as soon as possible and this is where he will really need the scooter, as otherwise he will be virtually housebound. “I strongly encourage anyone who can make a donation to do so – the scooter is ready and waiting at the Scooter Shed and it would be fantastic if we can give it to Les by Christmas.”

Talking of bed, you will be pleased to know those politicians are now back to business as normal. The head of the CIA, a multi-starred general, has just resigned. He has been charged in the court of public opinion with being unable to keep his trousers on. He cuts a strange figure for a Casanova; slim, frail, a little bent under the weight of all

the stars and medals adorning his uniform. He certainly does not have a scandalous twinkle in his eye. There must be something more to him, because his biographer has fallen for his charms. Now, I think of biographers as grandmotherly figures, but this one is the ultimate Action Girl. Attractive, dynamic, and given to doing push-ups on television to demonstrate her fine physique. She once modelled for a company that sells machine guns, of all things. So there we are - love is blind. I expect the General will now be glad of the chance to relax and take an afternoon snooze.

Entire community must be consulted on World Heritage listing DAVID Kempton, the Member for Cook, has called upon the federal Environment Minister, Tony Burke, to stop playing politics with the people of Cape York. A meeting of more than 150 people at Musgrave on Saturday, November 3, including federal, state and local representatives, Indigenous leaders, elders and other Cape residents were unanimous in their resolve to stop Mr Burke’s bid for an urgent nomination for World Heritage listing of Cape York. “There is no case for urgent World Heritage listing as there is no landscape or system under immediate threat. Indigenous elders have claimed the Cape is in pristine condition because they have looked after it for 40,000 years and don’t need Tony Burke’s help now,” Mr Kempton said. “Mr Burke is in the business of doing preference deals with the Greens when he should be looking at the long-term economic and environmental sustainability of Cape York.” Mr Kempton said Mr Burke should abandon his process of paying nonrepresentative groups to undertake selective consultation to support his ill-conceived World Heritage nomination. “For generations successive Labor governments have used Cape York for failed policies at the behest of green groups

to pick up votes,” he said. “An independent report earlier this year revealed the Labor Government’s environmental management record for Cape York, even by its own admission, was a critical failure. “While Traditional Owner consent is a prerequisite for nomination, it is time all governments listened to the elected leaders of Cape York and talked to all of the community, and not only select groups put forward by consultants. “It stands to reason that if an organisation such as Balkanu is paid by the Federal Government to obtain Traditional Owner consent for a nomination for World Heritage listing then they will not spend much time talking to people who are not supportive of that outcome,” Mr Kempton said. “That Balkanu, with its history of support for economic development in Indigenous communities in Cape York, would be lured into this process by Mr Burke is disappointing. “Mr Burke is undertaking a shallow and cynical approach to a process that will not only lock-up huge tracts of land in Cape York under international control, but will surely foreclose on the economic potential of the entire region in respect of resources and opportunities not yet realised. “There is a new landscape on the Cape and Mr Burke had better take note that the

elected leaders are united in their resolve to be listened to on all matters affecting their people or he may well suffer the same fate as Wayne Goss nearly 20 years ago when he tried to lock-up Cape York to appease green ideology,” Mr Kempton said.

Burke must get Cape York World Heritage right THE Wilderness Society has called on Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke to ensure all Traditional Owners on Cape York Peninsula are provided with the opportunity to be part of a World Heritage nomination. Some Traditional Owners and Indigenous communities are concerned about being left out of a nomination, and the opportunities for conservation, jobs, economic development and resources for land management this will provide. “We know that the natural and cultural values on Cape York Peninsula are world class and widespread, capable of meeting the criteria for World Heritage listing”, said The Wilderness Society’s Northern Australia Campaigner Gavan McFadzean. “Minister Burke is right to push ahead for a nomination for February 2013, but he needs to Thursday Island

get Cape York World Heritage right. “Two separate processes have been underway to seek Traditional Owner consent for World Heritage – one led by Balkanu Aboriginal Corporation and a separate process of ‘Country Based Planning’ previously supported by both the Federal and the Queensland Governments.

“We are deeply concerned that Minister Burke has not been meeting or talking to all of the Indigenous communities who are interested in considering support for World Heritage,” Mr McFadzean said. “All Traditional Owners who consent to World Heritage by next February through either process should be included in an initial nomination. “For Traditional Owners who need more time, Minister Burke should reassure them now that they will not be forgotten, and that if they consent to World Heritage he is committed to a second stage nomination. “We are also aware that there are some Traditional Owners who are interested in the option of World Heritage protection but have not had the opportunity to participate in either process to date.

ers can participate in a Country Based Plan process and be part of a further nomination. “Cape York is of global significance on many fronts: natural values, cultural heritage, unique biodiversity, and a rare opportunity to protect intact landscapes and ecosystems on a large scale. But at the same time, is threatened by the highly destructive mining of bauxite, sand and coal. “What Minister Burke needs to deliver on is a long-term and comprehensive framework for both protecting and managing the landscapes, wild rivers and coastlines of Cape York, and creating environmentally sustainable economic opportunities. “A World Heritage listing of signiﬁcant parts of the region with the consent of Traditional Owners can deliver on these outcomes,” Mr McFadzean concluded.

Environment Minister Tony Burke has handed the pen to Traditional Owners to decide Cape York World Heritage listing boundaries. Photo: Giembra Busmer. By Stefan Armbruster

TRADITIONAL Owners will draw the boundaries for any World Heritage nomination in Cape York, Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke says. “If Traditional Owners came back to me with speciﬁc sites within Cape York that they would like to have nominated for World Heritage listing, I will not change their boundaries by a millimetre. “And if they come back and say ‘we want more time’ then they get more time. If they come back and say ‘we don’t want World Heritage’, then it won’t happen,” Mr Burke said. The Minister spent last week touring Cape York to discuss World Heritage listing with various groups and address the fears expressed by many about the February 13 UNESCO nomination of the area. He said there was much confusion among the people of Cape York about the World Heritage listing. “Word had got around that somehow I had a map already drawn up of what I thought

Page 4 Western Cape Bulletin November 14, 2012

World Heritage listing should be, and I was going around trying to sell it and wanted to rush something through for next year. “People were surprised when I actually didn’t have a map, I didn’t have a specific proposal and I was relaxed about whether or not things were ready for next year.” “But when that real moment of pride came into the conversation was when I said that ‘for the first time in the world, as Environment Minister I’m wanting to hand the pen to the Traditional Owners and I want them to draw the boundaries for any World Heritage nomination’.” Prior to Mr Burke’s visit Cape York mayors had expressed concern about statements from the Minister’s office that they wouldn’t be consulted about the World Heritage process, and that the cultural listing of the Wet Tropics could be seen as a ‘peace offering’. “The cultural listing of the Wet Tropics is something that has been on the table for some time,” Mr Burke stated. “I didn’t want that to be a decision that was signed-off

in Canberra and then a media release just went off. I wanted it to be a decision that was made on country.” “If there was a message that I’ve received over the last week loud and clear it’s that the cultural values of Cape York are inseparable from the environmental values,” he said. Mr Burke said that in meetings with Cape York mayors and Traditional Owners he attempted to correct some of the misconceptions held regarding the World Heritage listing. “A lot of the meetings enabled me to correct some of the

misinformation that a couple of local politicians have put about and has managed to spread fairly quickly,” he said. “Some of the mayors themselves are Traditional Owners, but in terms of what the boundary will be, I made clear to them that the status they have because they are Traditional Owners, where as normally what by law would be entirely my fault, I want them to be able to hold the pen. It’s not their status as mayors that gives them that say on the boundary,” Mr Burke said. Mr Burke said he was relaxed about the upcoming deadline for nomination in February, 2013. “It is a big decision that as Environment Minister I’m very proud of. Whether or not a listing goes forward I am very proud that for the ﬁrst time we have said to Traditional Owners this decision, on boundaries, is one that you own. “Whether it results in a World Heritage listing or not, I’m relaxed. That’s a decision for Traditional Owners,” Mr Burke concluded.

Fun and games for all: Parents and children enjoying their time at Weipa’s Pebbles Playgroup. By Anna Oakley

WEIPA’S Pebbles Playgroup has seen a signiﬁcant increase in new starters to the Playgroup this year, so much so that it is now Cape York’s largest playgroup, and again looking to expand and open an extra day. In the past 12 months Pebbles has increased its membership base by almost 20 per cent and has commenced opening from two to three days per week, with discussions currently taking place to determine whether a fourth day is feasible. Pebbles Playgroup coordinator Janeen Swanson said the centre was experiencing a large increase in numbers, making it now the busiest playgroup, catering for the needs of 0 – 5 year olds and their parents on the Cape. “This year marks one of the largest and most successful years we have had at Pebbles since the centre opened around 20 years ago,” Janeen said. “We have increased our membership by around 20 per cent since last year alone, and recently commenced opening the centre an extra day a week to cater for children with special needs in the area”. “Around 40 per cent of all children who are currently attending the centre have been living

in Weipa for 12 months or less, which demonstrates the importance of having a facility that can provide families with an avenue to meet others, whilst providing their children with enjoyable educational opportunities in a secure and relaxed environment” she said. Pebbles Playgroup provides a safe, fun educational experience for all children aged 0 – 5 years, as well as an avenue for new parent residents to Weipa and surrounds to meet other parents and form new relationships. Earlier this year, Pebbles formed a partnership with Weipa CapeAbility and Western Cape College to introduce an ‘All Abilities’ Playgroup which caters for families and their children who participate in the Early Childhood Development Program (ECDP). A multi-disciplinary team works together to provide a variety of play and structured learning experiences that focus on the language, social, emotional and physical development of each child. Both the ‘All Abilities’ playgroup and traditional playgroup groups have beneﬁted from the hard work and dedication of parents who coordinate art and craft sessions, physical educational activities and social interactions which beneﬁt both the children and their carers.

Pebbles Playgroup relies on volunteer parents to run the centre and contributions from families and the business community. Pebbles in turn supports the Weipa community by providing a venue and use of equipment from the centre to community and business groups, as well as supporting local events such as the Weipa Fishing Classic. This year the group contributed over 100 man-hours to community events, with Playgroup parents cooking over 2500 doughnuts at the Fishing Classic to raise funds for the centre. All children aged 0 – 5 years and their parents are welcome to drop in to the centre between 9am and 11am on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The centre is located adjacent to the town library, with car parking available at the front door. Pebbles would also like to make a special thanks to Toll for their support of Pebbles during the Fishing Classic this year, and to the Weipa Town Authority, who have just provided funding to the group to purchase some much needed new furniture for the centre. If you would like more information on Pebbles Playgroup, or are interested in supporting the group, contact Janeen Swanson (0439 402 740).

ACCC introduces fee free ATMS in remote Indigenous communities The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has authorised an initiative to reduce total ATM fees in very remote Indigenous communities, involving a number of banks and ATM deployers. “The ACCC has authorised a project coordinated by the Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) to provide fee free ATM withdrawals and balance inquiries at 76 selected existing ATMs to the customers of participating banks,” ACCC chairman Rod Sims said. “This will help to alleviate financial and social disadvantage for Indigenous people living in very remote communities by addressing the issue of high ATM usage and removing fees for certain transactions.” The authorisation

has been granted for five years, as sought by the ABA, and does not extend to deposits or other ATM transactions more broadly. The project is a response to the ATM Taskforce Report which found that people living in very remote Indigenous communities pay relatively high levels of total ATM fees, due to frequent ATM usage and a lack of access to alternatives. Queensland fee-free ATMs are located at: Ayton IGA, Doomadgee Retail Stores No. 1 and 2, Island & Cape - Hope Vale, Island & Cape - Badu Island, Lockhart River Retail Store, Mapoon Aboriginal Council Store, New Mapoon Store and Takeaway, Umagico Supermarket, and Wujal Wujal Store.

Funds were raised for the Breast Cancer Foundation through fines for those Hatters who forgot their PJs, hats or comforters (teddies), mini cent sales and raffle prizes. The next Red Hatter event will be held on Wednesday, December 5 from 7pm at the Albatross Bay Resort.

Bridging the gap between primary and high school In 2013 the Western Cape College (WCC) is introducing junior secondary into the high school by giving the Year 8 and 9’s their own identity, and preparing for Year 7’s to join the high school in 2015. A range of support mechanisms will be added to better meet the needs of the students, as they navigate their way through a crucial stage in their education and face the challenges that adolescence provides them socially, emotionally and academically. These support mechanisms will include: • Training for teachers to specialise in this area of schooling, • Individual case management, • Extension, core and literacy and numeracy focused classes in english, maths, science, geography and history, • Specialist trained staff in specialised subjects (the arts, HPE, manual arts, home economics), • Virtual schooling opportunities

• The ‘QuickSmart’ program for students with low levels of literacy and numeracy achievement. Junior secondary at WCC will be focused on being the bridge between the primary school, where students are highly supported, to senior secondary where the students are expected to have a high level of autonomy as they enter the workforce or enter tertiary education. Data shows that many students struggle through these years of their schooling and are more at risk of becoming disengaged. WCC is putting in place a system that will give every student the chance to reach their potential. WCC wants parents and guardians to make an informed and appropriate decision about their child’s secondary education. We feel that we have a great product to offer and through this strategy, we will continue to showcase the best education in the State.

BE CROC WISE!

Sushi Tuesday at Weipa Bakery HANGING out for fresh sushi? The Weipa Bakery crew (including Lisa and Jen, pictured at right) are excited to announce the introduction of fresh sushi at the Weipa Bakery. Garry The Baker says the sushi is made fresh on the premises every Tuesday and is proving very popular. With a range of sushi flavours available, along with all the necessary condiments, and of course chopsticks, the tasty and nutritious snacks are sure to be a hit in Weipa. Catering is also available.

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

Community focus for biodiversty projects THE regional natural resource management body for Cape York has welcomed this week’s announcement of the Federal Government’s Biodiversity Fund. Cape York Natural Resource Management’s acting CEO, Peta-Marie Standley said the fund will have a strong focus on North Australia and that the organisation is already working with a number of communities on some signiﬁcant projects for Cape York. “Cape York Natural Resource Management strongly believes that people know what is important for their country and their land. Together with landholders, we have the knowledge to guide projects with environmental benefits, while also improving the economic livelihoods for the people of Cape York” Ms Standley said. The biodiversity fund is encouraging a strategic, coordinated approach to proposals. Ms Standley said that groups and individuals who need help with, or advice on their projects, should contact Cape York Natural Resource Management to discuss their applications. Expressions of interests for northern Australia projects are being called for that will help Indigenous communities, farmers, environmental groups and land managers to protect and manage

biodiversity values. The Biodiversity Fund will fund projects which best target the three themes: • Protecting and enhancing existing native vegetation • Managing invasive species in a connected landscape • Biodiverse plantings. “North Australia is a place of outstanding ecological and environmental value, and Cape York is the jewel in the crown” Ms Standley said. “The people of Cape York who care for the land are renowned for maintaining the delicate balance between environmental protection and sustainable development. People here respect the environment, understand its value and work hard to maintain the ecological balance, while living, working and farming here. “The Biodiversity Fund could provide opportunities to further some of the great work already being undertaken by Traditional Owners, Indigenous ranger groups, land managers and environmental groups” she said.

uarding your health...naturally How much fresh fruit and veg do you eat? EVER skip meals, do shift work, suffer from digestive issues, or have days when you just feel flat? Taking a good quality multivitamin could tick all the boxes and give you a push in the right direction. When deciding on a nutritional supplement look for a hearty amount of B vitamins, as they play a major role in cellular energy production (which is basically the conversion of the food you eat into fuel for your body). The inclusion of herbal, fruit or vegetable extracts like ginseng, elderberry or broccoli is also an excellent addition, providing the benefits of these ‘super foods’ without having to consume the actual food or plant, or if food quality is low. A broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals like Magnesium and Vitamin C is also important to support your food intake, and current research on Vitamin D supplementation is showing

it to be a hugely underrated component for the immune, hormonal and metabolic processes of the body. It is also important to note that you can eat all the spinach you can handle and take buckets of supplements daily, but if you don’t have the right balance of digestive enzymes in the stomach, and gut flora throughout the intestines, it is very difficult to absorb and utilize the nutrition from your diet. A probiotic or digestive aid can help to remedy the problem, depending on your requirements. Blackmores new ‘Alive’ range gives you the energy to tackle the day head on with a smile on your face and is also an easy way to cover your bases without having to take a handful of vitamin pills to support your daily needs. Due to its comprehensive composition of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and 20 super-food extracts, it is

SINGLE ACCOMMODATION Double danger as wet season approaches • Minimum one month WITH the wet season quickly approaching it’s time to take precautions against two of Far North Queensland’s nastiest inhabitants, marine stingers and mosquitoes...

Jellyfish can deliver deadly sting THE waters off Cape York contain many creatures, including some dangerous jellyfish, known commonly as marine stingers. They are easily avoided provided correct precaution is taken; however if stung, they can cause mild to severe discomfort, and may potentially be lethal. Marine “stinger season” generally runs from November through to May/June. During this period, the dangerous jellyfish are of particular concern. Marine stingers include the most common Box Jellyfish (Chironex) and Irukandji, and The Western Cape Bulletin recieved a report from Weipa SES controller, Trevor Snodgrass, that Box Jellyfish have already been spotted in waters in and around Weipa. Box Jellyfish are pale blue and transparent and bell or

cubed shaped with four distinct sides, hence box jellyfish. Measuring up to 20 cm along each side of the cube or bell, the Box Jellyfish has up to as many as 15 tentacles on each corner which can be 3 metres in length with up to 5,000 nematocysts (stinging cells). The box jellyfish seem to move towards the shore in calm waters when the tide is rising and gather near the mouths of rivers, estrays and creeks following the rain. Severe stings may cause the victim to stop breathing or their heart to stop, potentially resulting in death. Irukandji are a group of jellyfish know to cause Irukandji Syndrome. Some can be found coastally, on reefs and islands, and at times can occur close to shore. Irukandji jellyfish are very small transparent jellyfish with

a “box-shaped” bell (4 corners) ranging from 1-2cm and up to 10cm in diameter (depending on the species). They only have 1 thin tentacle arising from each of the corners (4 tentacles). Initially the sting of the Irukandji is just felt as a minor skin sting. This is followed by severe generalized muscular

pain, anxious behavior, headaches, vomiting and sweating, from 5 and up to 40 minutes post initial contact. The sting from some species can cause very high blood pressure or affect the heart, potentially resulting in death. These symptoms are referred to as Irukandji Syndrome.

PREVENTION • Not that too many people would be swimming in the waters off Weipa, due to the presence of crocodiles, but the presence of stingers at this time of year makes this even more dangerous, and potentially deadly. • About 90 per cent of Box Jellyfish stings occur in less then one metre of water, and are typically around the lower legs, so wear protective clothing when launching a boat or throwing a cast net. • Always carry vinegar with you when fishing from either a boat or the shore in case of jellyfish stings.

Rid your home of mosquito breeding sites DENGUE Fever is caused by four different strains of the dengue virus that can cause mild to severe illness in people, who are infected via mosquito bites. Classical dengue, the most-common type of the illness, is characterised by a high fever, splitting headaches, vomiting, a rash and body aches. It’s referred to colloquially as “breakbone fever”. The severe form of the illness, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), is rare and its symptoms include blood plasma leakage, which may lead to shock and, potentially, death. There’s no vaccine or specific medication to prevent dengue but both types can be treated with early diagnosis and ﬂuid-replacement therapy. While fatalities are rare (less than one per cent of cases), dengue epidemics can bring illness to thousands of people within weeks, causing chaos in communities and costing millions of dollars. Although the illness was once common in eastern Australia Dengue Fever is now limited to the urban areas of north Queensland, where ample rains provide breeing sites, and the only region in Australia that has the carrier Aedes aegypti mosquito. Highly urbanised and feeding almost exclusively on humans, this mosquito loves unscreened old Queensland houses, and the area is increasingly subject to outbreaks of the illness. The best way to protect yourself and your family from Dengue Fever is by getting rid of Dengue mosquito breeding sites around your home and yard. Just remember - Tip It, Store It, Throw It. Dengue mosquitoes can survive in

very small amounts of water, meaning that anything around your home that can hold water could contain dengue mosquitoes. Some places the dengue mozzies love to grow include: • buckets • tyres • kids’ toys and wading pools • gardening equipment (e.g. wheelbarrows, lawnmower catchers) • tarpaulins and plastic sheeting • yard rubbish (e.g. fallen palm fronds) • pot plant bases and self-watering pots • boats and box trailers • roof guttering and drain traps • garden accessories and bird baths • tin cans, drinking containers and plastic containers • rainwater tanks with damaged or missing screens. Store anything that can hold water undercover or in a dry place, including tyres, gardening equipment, toys, buckets, trailers or boats. It’s important during the wet season to check around your yard every week because it takes about seven to 10 days for dengue mosquitoes to develop in the water.

How to plank properly

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

IF you have been coming to my fitness classes regularly you probably find that we are not doing crunches much, and if we do they are modified to a safer level for your back and neck. These exercises make you incredibly sore in the abdominals, but are not necessarily a very functional exercise which will help you in daily life. My favourite core exercise is the plank. Just as the word implies, you will have to be as still as a plank, from your toes to the shoulders and the neck, which is not only working your core, but also your key muscles. Planking is an easy exercise which you can do anywhere (not on a high-rise building though – its been done, and you get in trouble) for as long as you want, depending your fitness levels, core strength and on what you would like to achieve. It may also help you out with back pain, posture or other weak core muscle-related problems.

Come in and see us

How to do the basic plank • Get in the push-up position, only put your forearms on the ground instead of your hands. Your elbows should line-up directly underneath your shoulders. Toes on the ground. • Squeeze your glutes and tighten your abdominals. • Keep a neutral neck and spine. •Create a straight, strong line from head to toes – a plank, if you will. • Hold that position Remember • Don’t let your hips sag down to the ground. Sagging hips makes the exercise initially easier, but it’s not a plank and it defeats the purpose of the exercise. • Look down at the ground. This is a good prompt for maintaining a neutral neck position. • When your form begins to suffer, pull the plug. You’re only beneﬁting from the plank by actually doing the plank.

When the Lord was telling his followers about things that were going to happen in the near future and the far future, it was only a couple of days before the Passover Festival and Unleavened Bread. For those of you who are not aware what those Festivals are all about, read Exodus Ch 12 and there you will see how serious what the background to the Festivals are all about.

The two Festivals are mixed together. Even after all the good things that Jesus did, and the good teachings he gave, murder was still on the hearts of the Jewish spiritual leaders as shown in Mark Ch 14 v 1-2. It goes to show that hatred and jealousy can cloud anyone’s judgement. But the Lord was aware that a trap was being set for him, as he

already spoke of it so often to his disciples, and more importantly, he knew that Father God is always in charge of all circumstances. So he left his future in the Father’s hands, as he always did. God is all-knowing (omniscient) and nothing, nothing, nothing escapes his eyes. And he loves us and watches over us too. Rev Michael Connolly

When the dingoes are away, the cats can play

Are dingoes the top dog in the Australian bush and do they have a role in protecting our native biodiversity against the impacts of feral cats? A new study, led by James Cook University researchers and published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, suggests that dingoes may be keeping feral cats at bay in northern Australia, and preventing them getting free access to native wildlife. Leila Brook, a PhD Candidate in JCU’s School of Marine and Tropical Biology, said previous studies had suggested dingoes could suppress foxes and feral cats by attacking and killing them. However, cats could still be found where there were plenty of dingoes, she said. “That makes it easy to argue that dingoes make no difference to cats. But cat behaviour might be limited in the presence of dingoes, in ways that could reduce their impact on native animals,” she said. Researchers from JCU, the University of Tasmania and Deakin University surveyed pairs of large cattle properties across northern and central Australia, where one property controlled dingoes using1080 poison baiting and sometimes shooting, and the other left dingoes alone. “This design allowed us to measure the effects of predator control on dingoes, and test how reduced dingo numbers might affect feral cats,” Ms Brook said. “We found that predator control may be doing more than just reducing dingo numbers, it might actually change their behaviour and effectiveness as a top predator in the Australian food chain. “We found that as dingoes were removed in higher numbers using poison baiting, cats were recorded at higher rates, suggesting that cat FORESIGHT 12 - AD 2 populations can be larger in areas CATEGORY: with fewer dingoes.” The researchersHIRE also looked at BOBCAT

the predators’ activity patterns. “Dingoes and feral cats both eat nocturnal mammals that come out at dusk. Where dingoes were left alone, they were mainly active in the evening and at dawn when they hunt wallabies and kangaroos. But dingo activity was much lower in the evening where dingoes were baited. “Feral cats on the other hand, had higher activity levels in the evening in the baited areas, filling the time gap when dingo activity was low. This suggests they can take advantage of the reduced risk of dingo encounter, to hunt at an ideal time for finding and killing small mammals and nocturnal reptiles such as geckos.” Ms Brook said that if dingo activity declined in the evening, feral cats could hunt wildlife when

they were mostactive, without the threat of harassment from the larger predator. With free access at these times, they could exert a stronger negative impact on wildlife such as small mammals.” Ms Brook said the study suggested that the interaction between dingoes and cats was more subtle than previously thought. “It involves behaviour as well as numbers of cats. This also means that dingoes could have a bigger role in preventing cat impacts than has been thought, which is good news for native wildlife. “These interactions may be particularly important in northern Australia, where feral cats are likely contributors to the recent widespread decline in mammals across the Top End.”

GIVE THE ‘EXPERTS‛ A CALL

By Corey Bousen

This week’s eclipse may not be the end of the world, but the 10,000 strong festival goers on southern Cape York are partying like it’s the end of the world, just in case. Some are calling Eclipse 2012 Australia’s version of the famous ‘Burning Man’ Festival in the Nevada Desert - except there’s a total fire ban here, so no fire, but there is plenty of dust and desertlike heat during the day. Thousands of the world’s hippie

jet-set have made their way to Maitland Down’s Station on the Palmer River to celebrate the full solar eclipse in a mass party of the likes never seen on Cape York. Musical acts from around the world keep the party crowds dancing 24 hours a day, while the property’s dam is providing welcome respite for a swim during the day. The party ends this Saturday.

The town of Weipa began as a Presbyterian Mission outpost in 1898, where it was to remain until an outbreak of malaria caused the community to be relocated to nearby Jessica Point, now known as Napranum, situated around 12 kilometres south of present-day Weipa. As with similar relocations, as much as possible was saved and moved to the new settlement, leaving little apart from permanent structures behind. Weipa was to be the first Mission Station in the Spring Creek area, at the headwaters of the Embley River. Today, the area is known locally as Twenty Mile. Weipa’s early history has, to a significant extent, been overshadowed by the onset and development of mining, with bauxite being discovered here in 1955, however the area’s history is rich and diverse. The Weipa area’s European history

actually pre-dates the establishment of the Presbyterian mission by nearly 300 years with the Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon, sailing aboard the Duyfken, sighting the coast here in 1606. Janszoon, as well as the later English navigator Matthew Flinders, both noted the prominent red cliffs, later to be identified as a major source of bauxite. This photograph above shows the original Presbyterian mission church in 1933, only about a year after the community had been relocated to its alternate site, Napranum. The building was of pise or rammed earth construction and, as can be seen, was a large and imposing building, dominating the settlement. We are able to speculate that the lone figure standing in front of the building and posing for the camera, may be one of the early Presbyterian missionaries.

Epic squash season to be decided Friday night Tuesday night at Weipa squash Club was preliminary finals night when Teams yoda (in B grade) and Obi Wan Kenobi (in a grade), teams born of wisdom not pain, defeated their rivals Chewbacca and Luke skywalker respectively each winning four of their five matches. In A grade, Team Obi Wan Kenobi outsabred Luke Skywalker, with the exception of the first game between A5 Ben Braun and Michael Cridland when Michael struck a low blow early in the peace taking the match (0-3), but Team OWK went on to victory when A4 Cole Dalton after going down in the first game, then went on to win the next three albeit the fourth game went to “long” (3-1). A3 Steven Lugsdin won the first two games against Shane Spagnol, then Shane forced the third to long and won it, then surprisingly easily took the fourth game. Steve then remembered

that his team may need this other game to claim victory so won the fifty (3-2). A2 Tom Murray easily defeated Ross Hyytinen on paper, but watching the game, you realised it was not like that, with lots of alternating possession in handouts (3-0). A1 Rod Wawryzniak and Luke Dorsett had a marathon match full of athleticism and sportsmanship but even if Luke had won his team would still have missed out on proceeding to grand final night (3-2). B grade was just as exciting to watch as the A grade because of the calibre of all the games at this stage of the season. B6 Jess Hall (Team Yoda) and Yours Squashfully (Team Chewbacca) played an awesome five-game match with some excellent rallies (even if we do say so ourselves) however despite my winning the second game and the third going to “long”, Jess won the match (3-2).

B5 Cicely Baira forced the second and fourth games to “long” against Dean Eastgauffe but only won one of them (1-3). B4 Andrew Glen and Ben Ghee played the best B grade match of the night with many fantastic rallies, and in fact Ben’s points score was 40 to Andrew’s 34, however it was games that mattered (3-2). B2 Kerry Scales and Tom Bellinger played a sprightly match (3-0), and B1 Otis Drum let Stephen Borg get the better of him in the first game, but then came right back at him and took the next three (3-1). Friday night will see Teams Obi Wan Kenobi up against the Millenium Falcon of Han Solo in A grade, and Teams Yoda and Princess Leia will negotiate to see which B grade team can win. Will see you next week with the grand final results! Yours squashfully, Ruth Harris

Moore completes switch to Cowboys engLand international scott Moore (pictured at right) will be a north Queensland Cowboy for the next two years after finalising his move from super League to the nRL. The 24-year-old hooker will arrive in North Queensland at the end of this week to join his new club with the goal of becoming only the second Brit to play with the Cowboys in the game’s premier competition. Welshman Jonathan Davies played nine games for the Cowboys in their inaugural season in 1995. Moore comes to Australia after playing 138 matches in Super League and the Challenge Cup with St Helens, Castleford, Huddersfield and Widnes. He became the youngest ever Super League player when he made his debut for his hometown club St Helens at age 16 in 2004 and was named at hooker

in the Super League Team of the Year in 2009. It was also in 2009 that Moore played two Tests for England against France. In the recently completed season, he turned out in 17 Super League and two Challenge Cup matches. “Our coaching staff has identified Scott as a player who is very capable of doing well in the NRL,” Cowboys general manager - football Peter Parr said. “He sees joining the Cowboys as the chance to take his

game to even higher levels and we’ll do everything we can to ensure that happens. “We’re sure he’s going to fit in well here and challenge for a place in our 17 for round one.” Moore is the second player the Cowboys have signed from Super League for 2013. Ex-St George Illawarra fullback Clint Greenshields will also arrive in North Queensland next week after moving back to Australia following a successful career with the Catalan Dragons.

Courtney Proud, Raezahn Sam, Dane Tyson and Donald Tyson. Sabrina Koina broke her own club record in the girls 11-year old 100m butterfly and broke Kirstie Buchholz’s 200m backstroke record, set back in 2001. Congratulation also goes to Sabrina for qualifying for the Queensland Long Course Championship in the 200m Individual Medley at a recent meet in Dimbulah. She also narrowly missed out qualifying for the 100m freestyle (0.15 seconds) and the 100m butterfly (two seconds) at this meet. Sabrina will be competing in the Queensland Championships to be held at the Chandler Aquatic Centre in Brisbane in December, and hopes to make some other qualifying times this weekend at the Mareeba Carnival. Other members of the club will also be travelling to Mareeba this weekend to compete in the Mareeba Carnival on Sunday. Good luck to Alyssa Taare, Natalia Nash, Katelyn McCahon, Tom McCahon, Kirra Koina, Sabrina Koina and Alissa Koina in Mareeba – go Weipa Lightening! Have fun kids. Congratulations also to Coach Lynette, who has been awarded a scholarship from Swimming Queensland and Swimming Australia, to complete her bronze coaching accreditation in May next year. See you all next club night, November 16. - Wade Koina

FRONT 9 – Tee OFF BY 0730 LAST SUNDAY – CHAMPIONSHIPS

ANOTHER week has come and gone and guess what? The weather hasn’t stabilised as yet and the wind is still blowing every other day. There have been a few fish caught, but before I begin, I need to get something off my chest. I was down at Evans Landing and there was rubbish everywhere. I was told by the Ports Authority that they will close the gates so no one will be able to fish here, so how about it - clean up your rubbish and put it in the bins at the Landing. Now, talking about Evans Landing, Grant Phelps and his mates fished here at night using live Squid that they caught at the Landing. Grant bagged a good Queenie and one of his mates landed a 45cm Mangrove Jack.

During the day, using live Herring, there are small Queenfish, which are fun to catch, but put them back to fight another day. I had a fish with Rob Jeffries and his wife Jo up at the Pine and we only caught a few fish, mainly Queenfish, Fingermark and small Barracuda. Up at Cullen Point Chris from Tackle World landed some nice Grey Mackerel off the beach spinning. The Mackerel were chasing little Flying Fish. The Mission River is still fishing well and the bridge is probably the pick of the spots, for both land-based and boat anglers alike, catching Queenfish, Bream and the odd Grunter during the day, and you can add Salmon to these at night. Over at Red Beach it’s

the same story - Queen fish, Salmon and Grunter are taking baits, with livies being the pick. The offshore anglers are doing it rather tough however there are a few fish on the reefs, but it might take a few moves but you will get a feed. Allan Philliskirk only found a Marlin for one of his clients, but he said it’s like a desert out there with no bait schools or bird life. Kelvin Ireland and his wife Tracey fished up off Duyfken Point. Tracey landed her largest Black Jew along with some good Tuskers, but it fished a lot slower than usual. There have been some excellent captures of Saratogas in the freshwater section of the Wenlock River and in some of the lagoons. While the change of seasons

is happening the fishing has slowed down, and it could be a good time to service your gear, and check the trebles on your lures. I still need feedback for this columm so send me an e-mail with your captures. ‘Til next week smooth seas, calm breezes and tight lines.
