Call for support after young mother lost in horrific car crash Daniel Shirkie THE family of a fatal car crash victim have been left feeling ‘sincerely grateful’ thanks to an onrush of fundraised support for the woman’s parents. Holly Stewart was one of two victims of a four-car pileup that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning to the north of Townsville. A thirty-one-year-old man was arrested in relation to the crime after his car slammed into Holly’s vehicle, killing her instantly and causing her vehicle to crash into another two vehicles. One other occupant of those cars was killed, while several others were left with injuries. The tragedy has left Holly’s two young children without a mother and left Holly’s

mother and father, Jim and Erica, to pick up the pieces and care for the youngsters. A GoFundMe, set up by family friend Mikayla Reddie has so far raised $35,065 aimed at helping the family cope with the loss. “I’m just hoping that we are able to help with the funeral costs, car repair and also any other costs that may come up so that her family and her babies can just mourn the loss of the most beautiful daughter, sister, mother and partner,” Reddie said in an online statement. Despite the fundraiser only being up for five days, 216 donors have already contributed to the total at the time this story went to print, with the amount easily surpassing the targeted goal of $25,000.

Kelsey Shand and Courtney Hayward are running 100km this July for youth mental health

Locals to run 100ks for mental health Marina Trajkovich AYR residents Kelsey Shand and Courtney Hayward are warming up for what will be a gruelling challenge this July, completing 100kms of running for youth mental health. The pair will complete 100 km of running over the month through the Run for Life Challenge, raising money for Reach Out Australia, a

youth mental health advocacy and suicide prevention organisation. Courtney Hayward, a provisional psychologist at the Ayr Hospital who works in the youth and child mental health space, says the challenge is an excellent opportunity to spread awareness in the community. “For us, it’s about raising as much money as we can, but it’s more about starting

Especially for the young people in our community, they don’t really know where to go if they are struggling. They don’t know who to go to,” says Courtney. “I wanted to set myself this challenge because I need to look after my own mental health and spend some time for myself; otherwise, my job isn’t as effective. Kelsey, who began running for her mental health, has been looking forward to starting the challenge, encouraging others to get involved. “We certainly don’t claim to be runners at all, but we’re definitely consistent! If people want to come to cheer us on or donate or come for a run, that would be awesome.”

We can’t thank you enough.”

TOWNSVILLE PLUNGED INTO LOCKDOWN

In Brief Sport fixtures hit by fresh lockdown

Residents told to expect a seven hour wait for testing Daniel Shirkie A three day lockdown has been instituted in the Townsville area, following the news that a traveller with COVID-19 visited the area. The lockdown, instituted at 6 pm on Tuesday evening, will run for three days, until 6 pm on Friday, July 2. The measures, which also include several LGAs in the state’s south east following known cases in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, were put in place following a contagious individual who travelled to Townsville from Brisbane on Thursday, June 24. The individual, who was on flight

VA369, transferred to Magnetic Island and stayed there until Sunday, June 27. The infected person then travelled from Magnetic Island to Townsville, visited the Sunday Cotters Markets on Flinders street for an hour and flew back to Brisbane via VA374 at 2.55 pm. It’s understood that the individual in question was a health worker at the Prince Charles Hospital and had not been vaccinated. The Townsville lockdown also extends to Palm Island and Magnetic Island, and limits what people can and cannot do. Individuals who are in the three areas, or have left the area before the

lockdown came into force on Tuesday, are required to only leave the home for the following reasons: 1. In order to acquire essential groceries and medications. 2. In order to complete education or work that cannot be completed from home. 3. In order to exercise outdoors with one other individual while socialdistancing. 4. To visit their doctor, receive a COVID test or vaccination or to provide essential support to a vulnerable person.

any of the above reasons are required to wear a face-mask during their travel. It’s understood that the woman’s brother has also tested positive for COVID-19, and that the genome sequencing tests indicate that the woman was contagious with the more infection delta variant of the disease. CONNECT NOW: For further information and guidelines about the nature of the lockdown and how to comply, it’s best to head online to qld.gov.au/health for the latest information.

Education key in battle against Cystic Fibrosis, says local campaigner Daniel Shirkie WHEN Kimberley and Paul Musolino found out their newborn son Levi had been afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis, they were left in a state of shock. “He was starving, and he was very thin, his stomach wasn’t working, we didn’t know what was wrong, we were only first-time parents,” Mrs Musolino said. “Fifteen days later, we got a call from Townsville Hospital telling us he’d been diagnosed with CF.” The illness, which attacks the internal organs, particularly the lungs, requires a strict regime of drugs and treatments to keep the effects

under control, but one of the biggest shocks has been the lack of knowledge about the illness. “We were being asked a lot of very inconsiderate, horrible questions,” Mrs Musolino said. “I said to my husband, ‘we need to educate people because I don’t want my baby to grow up and have people asking him stupid questions’. “There are some things he doesn’t need to know; I don’t even want to come to terms with all the facts.” To that end, the couple and a group of dedicated volunteers have organised an effort to raise both funds and understanding. “It’ll be held at Plantation Park on Sunday, August 8,”

Mrs Musolino said. “We’re hoping to get started really early, hopefully around 8.30 am, and we’ll be doing a 3km walk around the park to raise awareness of the illness and really highlight how lucky we are to be able to breathe comfortably.” Information about the illness will be provided on the day, along with a sausage sizzle, pop-up stores and other pieces of live entertainment. “We’ll have quite a few raffles and a lot of CF awareness merchandise on sale,” Mrs Musolino said. The Musolino’s will donate funds raised on the day and through a concurrent online fundraiser hosted by the family to Cystic Fibrosis

A spree of cancellations have hit state level sport across the region due to the recently announced threeday lockdown. Players from the Burdekin hoping to travel for both Rugby Union and Netball State competitions have been rebuffed, with both competitions cancelled. The Junior State Motocross Titles in Brisbane, where multiple Burdekin riders were expected to represent the region, have also been cancelled.

Cowboys cancel training

The North Queensland Cowboys have had to shut down a planned training session after Head Coach Todd Payten was identified as a close contact of the infectious woman who visited the Townsville Markets on Sunday. While no COVID protocols were breached by players or staff, the entire Apollo Register has been sent home to self-isolate, with players Tom Gilbert and Gilbert Neame also undergoing testing due to a trip to Magnetic island over the weekend.

CONNECT NOW: Mrs Musolino encouraged anyone willing to help out with the effort or donate to contact the group at either her personal Facebook page ‘Kimberley Rose Musolino’ or the ‘Every Breath Counts - Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser’ event page

Queensland’s supply of the Pfizer vaccine are reportedly close to running out, with Health Minister Yvette D’Ath announcing on Wednesday during a press conference that stocks of the vaccination are running low. “We are running out of stock on Pfizer,” Ms D’Ath said. The Queensland Director General of Health has requested an additional 152,100 doses of the vaccine, reasoning that the state expects to run out of Pfizer at some sites by 5th July. “At some of our sites, we are due to run out,” Ms D’Ath said.

2021 BURDEKIN SHOW RESULTS

Show exceeds expectations Daniel Shirkie THE Burdekin Show has once again come and gone and many of the hard-working volunteers are enjoying the after-glow of another successful year. Despite being fraught with concerns due to the show’s absence last year, organisers

were ‘very pleased’ with the overall result of the show. Burdekin Show Committee President Christopher Lyne, who found himself in the top job for the first year while managing the show’s return, said he was ‘extremely happy’ with the show’s presence this year. “The gate taking and the

amount of people through, the crowd was as good as we’ve ever seen,” Mr Lyne said. “It was a really positive feeling from everyone.” The amount of returns in the show categories was impressive as well, with Mr Lyne calling the amount of entrants ‘a bit overwhelming’.

Daniel Shirkie A revised program for opening up to traffic has been handed down for the ongoing Haughton river floodplain upgrade project. The project is now targeting an early August opening to traffic in limited numbers and stages. Originally expected to open to the travelling public in the mid-July period, delays due to rain and the wet season inhibiting work have pushed that target back to August. Three staged traffic switches will introduce vehicles to the new Bruce Highway, with a section of road between Trembath Road and the Pink Lily Lagoon becoming operational in August. A mid-August, earlySeptember switch will occur between Link and Piralko Roads, while a final section, from Iron Bark Creek onward,

will become operational in mid-September if all goes according to the revised plan. Work across the previous month has primarily been focused on earthworks and concrete works to get the roadways ready for motorists to travel over. However, there’s still plenty planned for the intervening period, with property access and finalising works at Shirbourne Road high on the list of targets before the August usage date can be realised. In the Department of Transport and Main Roads and The Infrastructure Group provided June update, one central area of focus was improved safety standards at major intersections. One particularly troublesome spot singled out, the Woodstock-Giru intersection that intersects with the Bruce Highway, is already planned to be turned into a staggered T intersection

Gillian Stanbrook, Relay for Life committee member encouraged members of the community to participate in the walk, that will open the Cancer Council fundraiser. “We would really like to continue that tradition. It does show the community that money that we raise is put to good use and that it isn’t a death sentence anymore, people do survive and live with cancer today,” said Gillian.

Born to Cyprian and Greek parents, the local says that her affinity for business ownership stemmed from her family, who ran a corner store in Townsville. “They ran that back in the day for eighteen years and worked hard all their lives,” says Dimi. “My mum grew up in Home Hill, but

my dad came over from Cyprus in 1952. He worked in Melbourne for five years in an egg carton making factory, then came up to the Burdekin to cut cane by hand. “Mum was from Greece, Mitilini. I have four sisters, and we all had three children each. We were always very close-knit, and we’re still very close,” she says. After growing up in Townsville from the age of five, Dimi met her husband and moved back to the Burdekin, working for the National Australia Bank for nine years. She eventually moved from banking

Daniel Shirkie THE Burdekin Netball Association is preparing to celebrate a delayed anniversary milestone after COVID robbed them of the chance to mark the occasion last year properly. The group will bring together lifelong members and current-day players and staff for a belated 51-year celebration at an upcoming reunion event. We cancelled the event last year due to COVID-19 restrictions on the size of events, but plans have already been finalised for a two-day-long event on July 9 and 10 to replace it, according to President Cara Trindle. “Last year, during COVID, we were forced to decide to postpone our celebrations,” Mrs Trindle said. “We are lucky we have been able to plan it for this year, and it will all come

together in a couple of weeks when we welcome past and present members to join in on an entire weekend of activities to celebrate our 51st birthday”. The event starts on Friday evening, with a meet and greet and BBQ at the association’s clubhouse, from which they’ve produced a dominant year of netball action already, bringing the Townsville premiership back home and seeing several players star in representative competitions. “We hope to see as many past members as possible,” Mrs Trindle said. “We have events to suit everyone, from the family BBQ on Friday night, complete with a jumping castle for the kids.” Following the club meet and greet and BBQ at 6.30 pm, the organisation will pivot to old memories, with a Patroness High Tea taking place on Saturday

from 10 am, for life-long members and veterans to share memories and talk about the glory days. “This will be a time for people to look at our history books and see if they can see themselves,” Mrs Trindle said. Mrs Vass said the momentous occasion would be an important reminder of the bonds tied together on and off the court. “It is important to reflect and remember what our association is about, why we were formed, and what benefits we add to our community,” Mrs Vass said. “A celebration such as this reminds everyone how far we have come since our early days and what wonderful members we have seen throughout the years and what life-long friends have been made.” The Saturday night ball will be held from 6 pm at the Burdekin Memorial Hall, with live music and a provided dinner. “Lots of old stories will be told, and friends who haven’t seen each other for years will have a catch-up,” Mrs Trindle said. CONNECT NOW: To secure your tickets for any three events, or all three, head on down to the Home Hill Library, Burdekin Netball Association clubhouse, or NQIB on Young Street.

Giru QCWA celebrates 94 years in action Daniel Shirkie THE Giru QWCA have marked their 94th year in existence with a ‘wonderful’ day full of food and cheer, according to President Rosa Fru. The long-lived chapter of the Queensland Country Women’s Association held a Devonshire style morning tea and buffet, along with a raffle prize draw and live music on Saturday for the occasion. It was the organisation’s first large scale meeting since last year’s COVID-19 lockdown, something everyone in attendance could appreciate, with over 40 people stopping in at the chapter hall on Carey street. “We’ve only been able to have small gatherings, we haven’t had much of a chance to just sit down and have a natter, but the people who turned up were very vocal about how good a time they had,” Mrs Fru said.

“We did it just to have something for the community that they could come and do and gather, it was a bit chocka-block for us, it certainly blew us away. “We had a lot of the older residents and we even had one of the previous owners of the hotel in Giru; she’d heard about it while travelling through to Mackay and she insisted on stopping in.” Mrs Fru called the morning festivities ‘lovely’ and thanked all involved for making it a success. “We had a few things like that happen, but the plant sale which we’ve never done before, was completely sold out, so it was wonderful to have people help us with that,” Mrs Fru said. “It was a really, really lovely morning, we were very lucky because we had Demi Tudehope playing some live music for us, which was brilliant.”

Stephen Coutts

Mr Coutts still looks back fondly on his past success Daniel Shirkie WHILE the memory may have faded, the fond feeling of his artwork being recognised is still close to his heart for artist Stephen Coutts. Coutts, one of the first winners recognised during the Burdekin Art Society’s Exhibition in 1972, has since leveraged his passion for art into a successful career as both a teacher and an artist. Despite finding early success as a student, Mr Coutts did not immediately find himself carrying the ‘artist’ label. A resident of the Burdekin Delta for much of his life, Mr Coutts earned recognition as a young artist in grade 10 after taking out the top prize for his age range at the Burdekin Arts Society’s exhibition studying creative and visual arts at Burdekin Catholic High School. But it wasn’t until he began to pursue art and education that he really set his future path in stone. “I wasn’t quite bold enough to have a go at being just an artist, so teaching felt like the obvious step,” Mr Coutts said. “Someone talked me into going to TAFE and starting an art course there. Eventually, I went down to the College of Arts in Brisbane

at Seven Hills, and finished that up there.” While obtaining his diploma in 1979, Mr Coutts became enraptured with sculpture, ceramics and printmaking, focusing on those artforms while maintaining his interest in free-hand drawing. “I’ll usually start with pencil; if it’s not working out, I can erase that bit. Once I’m reasonably happy, I can start using inks,” Mr Coutts said. “Many of my works started as pencil scribbles on the page, and once I’m reasonably happy with that image, I use a pen to work over it. “Some of them ended up as drawings or prints, and then eventually, I used some of those as inspiration for sculptures.” Mr Coutts experimented with other art forms and stylistic choices during his years as a student and educator. He found a passion for the surreal early in his life and has maintained that throughout his works. Using what he describes as ‘semi-automatic’ drawing, starting from scratch and sketching free-form until he’s happy with the eventual image. “Even as a child, I was drawn to things that were unusual, out of the ordinary, or images that would make you wonder what

was going on there, rather than something you could identify immediately and appreciate for the skill,” Mr Coutts said. “We did a whole range of things in college, which is what you do, but surrealism always stood out to me as the way to go. “Symbolism, things like that.” The striking artwork, which starts as ‘scribblings’ and then becomes layered, complete pieces, has earned him praise. It saw him featured

in his own exhibition, with ‘Pareidolia’ at the Umbrella Studio of Contemporary Arts in Townsville. Mr Coutts said the feedback was most welcome and that the response to the artwork, although muted by COVID-19, had been inspiring. “It’s a nice bit of affirmation, to know that you’re not alone, that your work is appreciated and that it’s resonating and striking a chord with people.”

Groper Creek mural brings colourful new life to amenities Daniel Shirkie A Townsville-based artist has made the trek out past Home Hill to capture the beauty of Groper Creek in a new artwork. A sizable mural that will now adorn the amenities facilities at Groper Creek Caravan Park was designed and painted by artist John Bradshaw for the venue. The art, which depicts a vibrant spread of local wildlife and a backdrop evocative of the region, was created by Bradshaw in tandem for the Home Hill Boat Club. “I’d been doing a few murals around the Burdekin area, and I’d been contracted by the council about creating a sort of art trail around the region,” Mr Bradshaw said. “The boat club here emailed me about wanting to do a mural for their property after

seeing the work, and after that happened, council stepped in and offered to help fund it.” The artwork, designed after the kiosks and local wildlife at the Groper Creek Caravan Park near Home Hill, took visual cues from archival photographs of major events. “I had a meeting with Dan and Jeanette about what we could do, and they explained a bit of the history of Groper creek,” Mr Bradshaw said. “They had a lot of historic photos which were really interesting. One image they sent through was a photo of the kiosk area from when it flooded a few years ago, and it looked really interesting with the houses on stilts and the water rushing beneath it. “It looked very surreal, sort of like Venice.” Two spots were cleared on either side of the landscape painting for Bradshaw to add

some examples of the local wildlife. The process will take around a week before it’s entirely ready, but the compliments are already flowing in. “People are coming and going here all day, so I get a lot of feedback and comments about the work,” Mr Bradshaw said. “It’s been really positive for sure.” At various times, the project involved hand-drawing, templating, spray-painting and traditional painting techniques. The artwork results from the Groper Creek Mural Project, a collaboration between the Home Hill Boat Club and Burdekin Shire Council, funded via the State Government’s ‘Works for Queensland’ fund.

Organisers of the cultural dance performance Digvija and Joyce

Burdekin Indian dancers celebrate Sweet success The newly reformed Burdekin Indian Dance Group are still feeling the afterglow of their performance at the Sweet Days Hot Nights Cultural Festival and planning future community dance classes. Marina Trajkovich DIGVIJA Mukkamala has always loved to dance, and she remembers the colours and music that filled the classes in her home city of Ongole, in South-Eastern India. The 29-year-old recently moved to the Burdekin with her 11-month-old son Rudrateja, rejoining her husband, Dr Sivateja Mukkamala, in March after COVID border restrictions left

the family fighting to return to Australia from India. Upon arrival in the Burdekin, she became introduced to the many families that make up the region’s vibrant Indian community and the women who regularly meet to socialise, dance and connect with their culture. “Being a small town, I had no idea there were so many Indian families here. It was a bit of a surprise. We do plan get-togethers, parties,

where all the families come together,” says Digvija from her home in Ayr. Digvija had been dancing since she was five years old, and so when her friend Preeti Mehta Prayaga from the Burdekin Shire Council asked her to form an Indian dance group for the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival Cultural Fair, she jumped at the opportunity. Alongside Joyce Bhavani, she coordinated the dance group of six local women,

meeting multiple times a week for two months to perfect their routines that blended styles of classic, folk and Bollywood inspired dancing from Northern and Southern India. “I have prior experience in dancing. I’ve been dancing since my childhood. I used to perform at office events, flash mobs and also in my college and school days,” says Digvija. “I was in charge of choreography, and Joyce, who also has a dancing background, did all the coordinating,” says Digvija. In the lead up to performance day, the dancers sourced all of their costumes and jewellery. Digvija performed in one of her own lehangas, a traditional outfit worn at wedding celebrations and parties. “We love to represent our Indian culture, and we love

Digvija Mukkamala with her son Rudrateja

to share our dance with the Burdekin. That’s why we wanted to perform at this event.” She says that following the success of the Cultural Festival performance, she hopes to share a part of Indian culture with the wider community and plans to start her own Indian dance classes, with the potential to collaborate with local dance studios. “For me, dance is like meditation, and I like to

dance for relaxation. I also love to teach dance, and in these busy lifestyles, it’s like a stress buster for older people, people who have depression or anxiety or stress. “It’s good for young mothers like me suffering from lack of sleep! “I believe that leisure activities like singing and dancing are essential for our health and wellbeing, and this brings people closer to their families and their communities as well.”

One Home Hill farmer who found that someone had crossed onto their ground was left confused and looking for answers, and has called

on the community to come forward with any information about vehicles leaving the road and colliding with canefields near his Kirknie road property. Rows of cane-stalks were mown down during the incident, with the farmer saying he’s not yet sure what the exact cost would be to the business.

Padman Water Solutions works to improve the lives of local farmers The Padman Team

Shawn Padman, Managing Director of Padman Water Solutions

The family-run irrigation business expanded into the Burdekin fourteen months ago, bringing innovative water management and drainage solutions to our local farmers. The Padman Family

BORNE of John Padman’s drive for innovation, the Padman Group have been putting farmers first for thirtytwo years, providing tailor-made and cutting edge irrigation solutions for producers and their families. The family-led business started on a Victorian dairy farm with the ‘Padman Stop,’ invented by John Padman and has since gone from strength to strength, developing, improving and contemporising water solutions for the modern farmer. Managing Director of Padman

Water Solutions, Shawn Padman, says that the company’s focus is on making irrigation more efficient, saving farmers time and making farming more cost-effective. “We’re a hundred per cent focussed on agriculture. We supply Australian farmers with solutions for water management. We provide different versions of water gates and also provide options to operate them remotely, via telephones and other options,” says Shawn. “That’s what we bring to the

district. We hope to bring solutions to farmers up here, so we can help farmers be more efficient with their water, be more efficient with their labour, reduce pumping costs and improve their lifestyles. “Instead of having to chase and check pumps, it leaves people with more time to spend with their families or go fishing on the weekend,” he says. In addition to pre-cast concrete draining solutions, the Padman line of products includes automation systems so that farmers can operate technology remotely.

“We do see the biggest potential in this area as automation. Reducing pumping costs and creating lifestyle improvements with better automation of the irrigation system is by far the biggest improvement we can bring to the district. “We can do on-farm consultation, so happy to go out and talk about any irrigation or drainage challenges the local farmers have, and then we design a solution for them so they can understand what it is. We don’t just pick things from a catalogue,” says Shawn. “One of the things we pride

ourselves in is our ability to listen to farmers’ problems and turn them into solutions.” Padman’s Water Solutions have been operating in the Burdekin from their Beach Road headquarters for fourteen months. They have already seen the impact their technology and experience is having on farmers in the region. “The water here is of abundance, so we’re able to do a lot of drainage infrastructure. People are looking to get rid of water where the rest of the country is fighting to be as smart as they can with every drop that they’ve got.” “We support family businesses and Australian made products. We are a hundred per cent Australian owned; we’re a hundred per cent focussed on helping farmers.” Padman Water Solutions is located at 305 Beach Road Ayr.

Fashion history project seeks historical Burdekin Show photos The founders behind Delta Yarns are searching for old Burdekin Show photos to represent the show’s fashion and cultural history. Marina Trajkovich FOLLOWING the iconic Burdekin Show in Ayr last week, Delta Yarns founders Meg Carlsen and Christine Clark are calling for old show photographs to piece together a representation of the Show’s history. The photos will be used for their upcoming fashion project, which examines the role of fashion in shaping the Burdekin’s cultural memory, which will be shared through a digital publication and in a series of photoshoots. “We’re trying to create a representation of the Burdekin Show across the decades, really. Sensible 1930s sun hats, 1950s berets and who can forget all those hair bows from the 1960s and 1970s. “Particularly in the 40s and 50s, the ladies just looked

beautiful,” says Delta Yarns co-founder Christine Clark. The photos will be used as part of the wider Delta Yarns fashion project, with future plans in the works to facilitate a writing workshop that helps people portray aspects of their own family histories. “We want people to scan their Show photos but then also to write something so we might ask them to comment on perhaps memories of their mother before they were their mother, for example. “It might just be a hundred words, but it’s a great way to remember the history that way.” CONNECT NOW: Have an old photo from the Burdekin Show you’d like to share. Get in touch via deltayarns@gmail.com or for more information, visit deltayarns.org.

Where are they now?

Christine Clark Marina Trajkovich

Christine Clark is the exhibition manager of the National Portrait Gallery and co-founder of local organisation Delta Yarns.

Christine Clark’s passion for the art world has taken her down many paths, from assisting renowned French-Australian artist Mirka Mora in painting the Burdekin Library murals to working at the Queensland Art Gallery and leading exhibitions at the esteemed National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. The curating veteran is now turning her attention to creative endeavours closer to home, partnering with another creative and ex-local Meg Carlsen, and travelling from her home in Canberra back to the Burdekin. Christine catches up with Burdekin Local News to discuss her compelling career, early influences and delving into the region’s local history.

Childhood friends Christine Clark and Meg Carlsen co-founded Delta Yarns, a RADF funded organisation focused on sharing the regions history.

Can you tell me a little bit about growing up in the Burdekin and some of the early influences that may have sparked your love of art? I grew up on Pioneer Estate and then moved into Ayr. I guess anyone my age who grew up in that time can say there was a strong sense of community, and we had a strong appreciation for the natural environment as well. When we were in Year 12, in 1983, that Mirka Mora mural was painted for the library and myself and a few other students spent many a weekend painting with Mirka, and I think that definitely had an influence on me to some degree. It was incredible.

I noticed that you’ve worked with many galleries in Asia and that collaboration is a big part of your role. Can you tell me a bit more about this aspect of your work? Through my work at the Queensland Gallery, I’d developed relationships with artists mainly in Thailand, India and Singapore.

I did art through high school and used to have great art teachers, and it all culminated together in influencing me, I suppose.

In Indonesia, I’ve done a lot of workshops with capacity building. I’ve done workshops in Jakarta with the National Gallery of Indonesia, and people had come from all over Indonesia for that workshop.

Once you’d decided to pursue a career in art professionally, where did you go from there? What experiences led to your role at the Portrait Gallery?

I love doing that kind of thing because it’s a great way to share your knowledge but also gain it too. It’s all about collaboration. I’ve also studied Indonesian for about twenty years, I’m not that fluent, but I try!

I did love drawing, but I ended up going into the more theoretical side. I studied art history at the University of Queensland and was very fortunate to get a job at the Queensland Art Gallery pretty much straight away. I was at the gallery for many years, working mainly on big international projects with contemporary Asian artists. I also did a lot of freelance exhibitions. The Portrait Gallery is such an iconic hub for Australian art and portraiture. What do you enjoy most about your role as exhibition manager? I started at the Portrait Gallery mid 2004, and the thing that’s great is you can’t really call it a straight gallery. It’s really like a social history museum combined with art. A lot of the work is telling stories through people, and that’s what I do too. I love telling interesting stories and the stories that aren’t often told basically. What does the day to day look like in your job for someone who has no idea about the art world or what goes on behind the scenes? I do all the project management and manage a team of staff, a lot of logistic things. Within my team will be the exhibition designer and so they may think about things like the wall colour, as well as what’s going into the exhibitions.

What have been some highlights of your career?

Christine has been Exhibition Manager of the National Portrait Gallery for 17 years

We did get an ICON award, International Council of Museums Australia Award for International Relations for facilitating that workshop which is one of the highest honours you can achieve. What are you up to now? I understand you’re based in Canberra but currently working on a series of new culture and history projects in the Burdekin? I’ve actually gone on extended leave to focus on the Delta Yarns project with Meg Carlsen, who I actually went to Ayr State High School with. It’s been fantastic because I’ve been able to use the skills I’ve acquired over many years to do something I’m passionate about. It is still trying to retell stories that aren’t necessarily known and telling stories from other perspectives. Through Delta Yarns, I think we’re uncovering nationally important stories that should be told. CONNECT NOW: Delta Yarns is an arts and culture project started by Christine Clark and Meg Carlsen that documents and explores the Burdekin’s past, the first of which is centred on fashion.

thursday 01 july 2021

Where to go camping these school holidays Marina Trajkovich WITH state border closures putting a roadblock on potential travel plans and forcing last-minute booking changes, a trip closer to home could be an off-grid alternative for the whole family. There are several camping options a stone throw away from the Burdekin region to satiate your craving for the outdoors and provide some respite out of town. Here are some easy to reach spots perfect for a camping getaway. BARRATTA CREEK Close to home and in a scenic setting off Bowling Green Bay, the small camping site near Jerona is a breath of fresh air set on a beautiful creek.

Fun for all at Clare State School Under 8s Day Troy Patti

• Choice of subjects and study paths

IT was smiles all around at Clare State School recently with the small, rural school hosting other schools, kindergartens and the general public for its annual Under 8s Day. Students from Ravenswood, Millaroo and Airville State Schools joined in the fun and frivolity on the day. School Principal, Troy Patti, said that the day was great for the community and the school students relished the opportunity to catch up with their friends from other schools. “It was great to see the community support our Under 8s Day and we loved bringing activities and opportunities that are not normally available to the children in our community,” said Mr Patti. Activities on the day included a petting zoo, jumping castle, face painting, emergency services, water safety, art activities, robotics, woodwork, music, sports and many more.

“The petting zoo and jumping castle are always popular,” said Mr Patti, “but this year icing biscuits, the paper plane competition and the emergency services also proved very popular.” “We were also fortunate enough to have many local organisations and businesses provide stalls and the children really enjoyed meeting Big Blue, the Sunwater mascot, and Mick the Canecutter from the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival.”

Expert shares how to recognise cyberbullying in children Marina Trajkovich A CYBERBULLYING consultant from Parentline Queensland has shared how to identify when your children might be being bullied online and what to do about it. Online abuse in schoolaged children and adults is a pervasive problem, one that skyrocketed in the last year as more and more activities went online due to COVID 19. According to Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, reports of abusive behaviour online increased by 90% between 2019 and 2020. Aaliyah Talukdar, a cyberbullying consultant from Parentline Qld, regularly travels across the state conducting parent info sessions. “Our aim is to empower parents to feel comfortable talking to their children about what they’re doing online, particularly around cyberbullying.

“Often with young people, we will see changes in their personality, their mood, their friendship groups. It can be difficult to know when this is just “growing up”, or when something else is going on, so the best thing parents can do is ask when we notice changes and open up the dialogue,” says Aaliyah. She says that a common question asked by parents who are worried about their children online is whether devices should be removed or their use restricted but that this perceived fix can cause other problems. “Whilst it’s healthy to have boundaries around their use, long term removal of the device may prevent them from accessing formal support services and informal supports like friends or family as well as meaning that parents can’t contact them. “Additionally, for young people who experience cyberbullying, it may feel as though they are being ‘punished’ by having their

device removed,” says Aaliyah. She suggests instead discussing the issue with your child and considering reporting bullying behaviour to the child’s school or reporting online abuse to the eSafety Commissioner. She says that Parentline and Kids Helpline are great online resources and that trained counsellors are there to support parents and young people, access support and provide guidance for specific situations.

New AI research progress could help save premature babies JAMES Cook University scientists believe they have made a breakthrough in the science of keeping premature babies alive. As part of her PhD work, JCU engineering lecturer Stephanie Baker led a pilot study that used new artificial intelligence technology to accurately predict how much risk individual premature babies face. She said the JCU team’s research had developed the Neonatal Artificial Intelligence Mortality Score (NAIMS), a hybrid neural network that relies on simple demographics and trends in heart and respiratory rate to determine mortality risk. “This is the first work we’re aware of that uses only easyto-record demographics and

respiratory rate and heart rate data to produce an accurate prediction of immediate mortality risk,” said Ms Baker. Complications resulting from premature birth are the leading cause of death in children under five with over 50 per cent of newborn deaths occurring in preterm infants. “Preterm birth rates are increasing almost everywhere. In neonatal intensive care units, assessment of mortality risk assists in making difficult decisions regarding which treatments should be used and if and when treatments are working effectively,” said Ms Baker. She said that to guide their care, preterm babies are often given a score that indicates

the risk they face but that there are limitations to the current system. “Generating the score requires complex manual measurements, extensive laboratory results, and the listing of maternal characteristics and existing conditions,” said Ms Baker. “Due to the simplicity and high performance of our proposed scheme, NAIMS could easily be continuously and automatically recalculated, enabling analysis of a baby’s responsiveness to treatment and other health trends,” said Ms Baker. She says that with improvements in AI like the Neonatal Artificial Intelligence Mortality Score (NAIMS) babies can be better

monitored without the need for time-consuming and invasive procedures. Ms Baker said the next step in the process was to partner with local hospitals to gather more data and undertake further testing. “An ideal scheme would be

one that uses fundamental demographics and routinely measured vital signs to provide continuous assessment. This would allow for assessment of changing risk without placing an unreasonable additional burden on healthcare staff,”

said Ms Baker. “Additionally, we aim to conduct research into the prediction of other outcomes in neonatal intensive care.”

Students with overconfident parents perform better in school Marina Trajkovich A NEW study led by the Conversation and Society for Research in Child Development shows that overconfidence in your children’s academic abilities can actually help improve their grades. The study examined 2,602 Australian children and the attitudes of their mothers to determine the degree to which positive optimism would have an impact on a child’s academic performance over time. The study asked Aussie mums to rate their children’s numeracy and maths skills and their reading abilities as below average, average or above average, which determined parental optimism and pessimism in their kid’s abilities at school. These attitudes were then compared to the student’s actual results in standardised NAPLAN testing through years 3, 5 and 7 to determine whether parental views were accurate representations of student ability. The study found that students with parents who held overly optimistic perceptions of their grades actually improved significantly more over a two year testing period,

compared to students whose parent’s had more realistic or pessimistic views of their abilities. “We found, on average, mums were more optimistic about their child’s ability than their child’s school results suggested. We found this improved not only their kid’s later school results but also increased their interest in school,” wrote one researcher in the report published by the Conversation. By comparing NAPLAN results between a two year period researchers Philip D. Parker, Taren Sanders, Jake Anders, Rhiannon B. Parker and Jasper J. Duineveld were able to confirm that parental optimism consistently benefited students. “Overly optimistic parents could reduce their kids’ drive to work harder and give them a false idea of the opportunities available to them. Or this same optimism could fill the child with confidence, kindle their self-belief and give them the courage to try harder. “We set out to discover which of these possibilities is most likely, and we found a mother’s optimism about how good their child is in maths and reading consistently benefited children,” said the report.

Go Dry this July Marina Trajkovich

The study also revealed a degree of gender stereotyping amongst parents, where girls were perceived to be better in reading and boys in numeracy. There was no perceived link between a mothers optimism

and socioeconomic status as initially hypothesised. However it was found that mothers from non-English speaking background, had higher levels of optimism in their children’s academic abilities.

THE Dry July Foundation is encouraging Aussies to give up alcohol for the month of July, advocating the health benefits of skipping drinks for a month while raising money for cancer research. With most adult Aussies consuming alcohol to some degree, giving it up for the month can seem a daunting task, but one that has a myriad of health benefits, impacting your energy levels, quality of sleep and improving your overall mood and daily functioning. Reducing or curbing your drinking habits can also have a positive impact on your finances. Advice from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), suggests no more than 10 standard drinks a week and no more than 4 in a single drinking session. Tips for managing Dry July 1 If you’re considering giving up the grog for the whole month, DryJuly.com has several resources and ideas for how to stay on track, like alternative ways to socialise

that don’t involve a typical visit to a bar. 2 Set a goal for yourself and get moving, by using the month to focus on improving your lifestyle and your health. Cravings are natural and so experts recommend mindfully acknowledging the discomfort but ultimately using will power to refocus on what you are achieving for your body and mind. 3 Focusing on the health benefits can help you stay on track. After one week of giving up drinking, you might notice that your sleep quality is improving, you’re saving calories and you’re more hydrated. After a month, your skin will look visibly healthier and your liver function will have improved and the fat surrounding it reduced, impacting the 500 vital functions it performs from removing contaminants and converting food to nutrients within your body.

Training course aims to improve health care access for people with disabilities Marina Trajkovich A NEW online training course has been created with the aim to make mainstream health care accessible for people with disabilities in regional, rural and remote Queensland. The two hour online training course was created by CheckUP, a not-for-profit organisation working to better health outcomes for marginalised communities and is part of a three year project funded by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). The course is aimed at health care providers, to help reduce the barriers impacting people with disabilities and to improve access to care. The course was launched at the Rural Doctors Association of Queensland Conference in the Gold Coast, by Queensland’s Australian of the Year, Dr Dinesh Palipana, a doctor with the Gold Coast University Emergency Department and disability advocate. He says that educating health practitioners is crucial in making mainstream healthcare spaces more inclusive and has been using his own experiences in the health system to develop the online course. “In my own journey with a spinal cord injury and quadriplegia, I realised a lot of the barriers and assumptions people face when accessing the health care system,” said Dr Palipana.

“I’ve had instances where life threatening issues have nearly been missed, where I’ve had difficulty physically accessing health care environments, and experienced complications in the health care system due to my social circumstances. “It’s important that health care providers understand that the ways they may have traditionally approached a person with a disability don’t always work and they need to be treated as individuals.” CheckUP Chief Executive Officer Ann Maree Liddy said developing the Access For All course was a collaborative effort to ensure the content was relevant and outcome focused to improve the lives of people with disabilities. “We consulted with consumers who have lived experience of disability, service providers, health professionals, disability networks and advocates to identify the common issues and challenges experienced by people with disabilities and how we can build a more accessible and inclusive health care system,” she said. “It has become very apparent that while most health professionals and clinics are well meaning, many are inadvertently creating barriers or making assumptions about a person’s disability, which can lead to treatment errors or a reluctance for patients to seek treatment.” Ms Liddy said that for some health professionals and practices, the training

will reinforce the steps they are already taking, but for others it may prompt a transformation process for their organisation or service to be more accessible. “It starts with education, and Access For All is an introductory step for health care providers to ensure they are aware of their obligations under the Human Rights and Disability Discrimination Acts to deliver culturally and clinically appropriate care, whilst providing inclusive, accessible health services for people with disabilities.” CONNECT NOW: For more information about the course and to access resources, contact Alison Berigan at aberigan@ checkup.org.au.

The study was led by Dr Yaqoot Fatima from James Cook University and the University of Queensland as well as researchers from the JCU’s Murtupuni Centre for Rural and Remote Health, who analysed incidents at a Mount Isa remote emergency department. Dr Fatima said that it’s a trend that’s increasing rapidly, with misuse of emergency services for minor ailments creating potential delays for those in need of emergency care.

General conditions that can be seen by a GP: • viruses • cold and flu symptoms • open wounds, surgical dressings and sutures • prolonged illness or injury • eye injuries • abdominal pain • urinary tract infection

• vomiting • sprain - existing • acute respiratory infection, for example, pneumonia, bronchitis • bites, rashes, skin infections • severe headache • earache • tonsillitis

“National data shows that around 35 percent of ED attendances are for less urgent problems. In rural communities, the number of people using the ED for less urgent problems is up to 70 per cent,” said Dr Fatima. Dr Fatima said younger age, lack of information about local GP services, and perceptions of convenience contributed significantly to seeking ED care and that patients with tertiary education were also less likely to visit an ED for health

The top three presenting diagnoses were viral infections, upper respiratory infections and wound care. Dr Fatima says that raising awareness of when and when not to call emergency services could be a solution to the problem, so that paramedics can better utilise time for patients requiring urgent care. “The community needs

reassurance that GP clinics are resourced to manage the breadth of primary medical care, including immunisation and STI screening, adult health checks, and chronic disease management,” said Dr Fatima.

WILMAR’S PROSERPINE MILL OPENS NEW STORE BUILDING Wilmar Sugar PROSERPINE Mill’s new store building is officially open for business. Construction of the $2.8 million building was finalised in May, with Wilmar Sugar employees moving into their new offices last week. The two-storey, prefab structure replaces the store and offices destroyed by fire in January 2020. Wilmar Sugar General Manager Purchasing, Procurement and Supply Rohan Whitmee said the building was constructed in a new location on site to improve vehicle access and traffic management. He said the purpose-built

store featured a number of design improvements on its predecessor. “It has a substantial increase in racking and shelving in the main storage area and has a climatecontrolled storage space,” Mr Whitmee said. In addition to the store,

Comments: Throughput for the Burdekin mills in week three was just over 350,000 tonnes. This was above budget even though wet weather again had an impact on cane supply. Inkerman Mill had a mixed week, recording both good crush rates and extended stops. Wet weather from the previous week meant crushing did not resume until Sunday night (20 June). There was a 24-hour stop due to bagasse system issues, and more rain mid-week added to the already wet ground conditions. The north bank mills experienced some cane supply shortfalls from the rain on Wednesday evening but much lower totals meant growers were able to burn and harvesters were able to get back into paddocks sooner. Harvesting operators across the district are to be commended for keeping mud levels in the cane supply low, despite the wet conditions. Average weekly CCS was 13.45. This was above budget and a good outcome given the wet conditions experienced across the region in the middle of the week. The highest CCS sample was 16.3 from a rake of Q240 Plant cane in the Invicta Mill area. John Tait Cane Supply Manager Burdekin Region

the new building houses the site’s first aid room, a training room, some offices, and amenities, including an ambulant toilet. Mr Whitmee said that after more than a year working out of temporary store facilities, both on and off site, the store team was pleased to be back in a permanent home. “The site was without a permanent store for the best part of two maintenance seasons and one whole crushing season,” he said. “Despite the many challenges that presented, everyone on site worked well together to ensure there was no significant impact on operations. “It’s a credit to the whole Proserpine team.” A site barbecue was held on Thursday, 17 June to officially open the new building and to enable employees to check out the new facilities. Proserpine Mill will start the 2021 crushing season on Tuesday (29 June).

KAP: CROC POPULATION REPORT NOT A STATE SECRET Katter Australia Party THE Palaszczuk Labor Government is feeding North Queenslanders a load of croc as it continually refuses to reveal the findings of a detailed crocodile population survey that concluded in 2019. In 2016 then-Environment Minister Steven Miles committed $5.8 million to a three-year crocodile management program that would include a “comprehensive crocodile population survey”. At the time, the Minister said the survey was urgently needed to ascertain whether crocodile numbers were increasing in Queensland. The funding immediately provided three additional FTE staff to deliver that program, rising to five staff in 2017/2018. The report was touted at the time as “the most comprehensive crocodile population survey ever in Queensland”, with data promised to be compared to figures going back as far as 1979. Despite being completed around two years ago, the report has not seen the light

of day to date. Katter’s Australia Party Leader and Traeger MP Robbie Katter said he suspected the report was being kept under lock and key. He said it was undeniable encounters between humans and deadly estuarine saltwater crocodiles were increasing at astronomical rates in North Queensland. This includes one fatal and two serious attacks in the region earlier this year and reports of the predators moving into private properties in residential areas such as Tully Heads. “More people will die in North Queensland from crocodile attacks if the Government’s approach to this issue does not change radically,” Mr Katter said. “Saltwater crocodiles and human communities do not mix. “I find it mind-boggling that not wanting your pets, friends and family members eaten by crocs is considered radical these days.” KAP Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto said the State Government was likely stalling on releasing the report as it would reveal uncomfortable truths.

“I am of the opinion that once the truth comes out, Brisbane will have to accept that crocodiles may no longer be a threatened species,” he said. “For so long, the Government have relied on the conservation narrative as an excuse to failing to act – this report could be the end of that, and they need to come clean on the real numbers.” Queensland Government representatives have previously acknowledged there has been a rapid increase in croc numbers in the North, supporting long-running anecdotal reports from locals who have been encountering the apex predators in places never seen before in their lifetimes. Mr Katter said the KAP’s

Safer Waterway Bill, which has failed to receive support from both major parties in the past, was designed to address the crocodile issues in the North. Drafted and introduced twice into the parliament by KAP Hill MP Shane Knuth, this bill would seek to centre Queensland’s crocodile management framework to Cairns. Cairns-based staff would decide on the number of crocs - which posed a safety threat – that should be culled annually (or less often if not necessary) and Indigenous groups would be enabled to host crocodile-hunting tours and allow crocodile eggs to be harvested, as is done successfully in the Northern Territory.

LOOK OUT FOR LIMNOCHARIS

Department of Agriculture and Fisheries NORTH Queensland residents are urged to report any sign of the exotic weed limnocharis, which has been found growing from north of Mossman down to the South East Queensland area. Biosecurity Queensland’s Engagement Officer Kim Badcock said limnocharis was a highly invasive aquatic plant from South America. “It was first found here 20 years ago and we need to eradicate this serious pest before it becomes permanently established,” he said. “Limnocharis rapidly takes over waterways. It grows densely along the water’s edge to about one metre in height with pale green oval shaped leaves at the end of long triangular stems, and

yellow flowers about the size of a 50 cent piece. “The spread of this plant is partly due to people cultivating it as a vegetable, but you must not grow, sell, or keep limnocharis or you risk being fined. “It may look nice, but it’s an invader that chokes waterways and pushes out native species causing all sorts of environmental and agricultural problems. “Keep an eye out for it in ornamental ponds, dams, creeks, swamps, drains, backyards and being sold online, and immediately report anything suspicious to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23.”

QSL Market Update

current as of 30 June 2021

Sugar • After a choppy start to the week, raw sugar prices rallied following a bearish UNICA (Brazilian Sugar Industry Association) report, closing the week up 2.9%. The Jul21 ICE 11 contract reached its high of 17.26 USc/lb on the Friday and its low of 16.19 USc/lb on the Monday. • The latest UNICA report revealed multiple delays to Brazil’s harvest due to rain for the first half of June. Production numbers reported 35,959 tonnes of cane and 2192 tonnes of sugar were produced for the fortnight compared to 41,812 tonnes of cane and 2560 tonnes of sugar in the same period last year. This represents an approximate 14% reduction. The percentage of the cane crop used for sugar production is at 46.12% and the Total Recoverable Sugar (ATR) remains high, compensating for a portion of the crop reduction. • The latest Commitment of Traders data reported a sharper than expected liquidation of the net-long position as of 22 June. The net speculator position was down 35,000 lots to 185,000 lots net long. • The Brazilian currency made some gains last week and is now at 4.93 Reais against the US Dollar. Despite the efforts of the Central Bank of Brazil to keep the Real strong, there may be some periods of instability due to current investigations into the Brazilian government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Currency • The Australian Dollar (AUD) and equities markets are still to recover from last week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) speech (see our Jargon Buster). Last week the AUD traded from its a low of 74.78 US cents on the Monday to peak on Friday at 76.17 US cents. However, it has failed to hold above the 76 US cent level on a live basis.

Bravus personnel at the Carmichael site

Bravus Mining & Resources BRAVUS has now struck coal and exposed the first of the coal seams at our Carmichael Project. Bravus Mining and Resources CEO David Boshoff said it was an exciting day for the 2600+ people on the Project; a day that has been in the making for over a decade. “Throughout the last two years of construction and during the many years when we fought to secure our approvals, our people have put their hearts and souls into this Project – it is wonderful that we have now struck coal,” he said. “Nearly two years ago today we received our final approvals to develop the Carmichael Mine and Rail

Project. We have faced many hurdles along the way, but thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our team, we have now reached the coal seams. Mr Boshoff said Bravus was on track to export first coal as promised, in 2021. “We’re on track to export first coal this year, and despite reaching this significant milestone, we will not take our eyes off our larger goal of getting coal to market,” he said. India will be a foundation customer for the Carmichael Mine and is the fourth largest global user of electricity as well as the source of the biggest growth in global energy demand. Mr Boshoff said Bravus had already secured the market for the 10 million tonne per

annum of coal produced at the Carmichael Mine. “The coal will be sold at index pricing and we will not be engaging in transfer pricing practices, which means that all of our taxes and royalties will be paid here in Australia. India gets the energy they need and Australia gets the jobs and economic benefits in the process,” he said. Carmichael coal will contribute to Adani Group’s burgeoning energy portfolio that is designed to create a sustainable energy mix, incorporating, thermal power, solar power, wind power and gas. Mr Boshoff said, the Adani Group had secured its position as the world’s largest solar company, following last month’s announcement

that Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has acquired SB Energy Holdings Ltd, which will see AGEL achieve a total renewable energy capacity of 24.3GW. “The 24.3 GW would be enough energy to power more than 8.5 million homes, or nearly all the households in Australia (*9.2 million) each year. “Adani’s solar farm at Rugby Run in central Queensland is part of this portfolio, with a total capacity of 65 MW going into the regional Queensland grid, equivalent to powering about 27,500 homes each year. “As a global company we are walking the talk when it comes to delivering a sustainable energy mix,” Mr Boshoff said.

Marina Trajkovich TOWNSVILLE will soon come alive in a month-long creative feast of colour, music and celebrations, bringing together the best and most innovative of North Queensland’s artistic community. The North Australian Festival of Arts is an annual event led by the Townsville City Council. Boasting an array of fresh talent from throughout the region. Community and Cultural Development Committee chairperson Ann-Maree Greaney said that this year festivities are set to be bigger and brighter than ever with an impressive lineup of over 400 performances across

Townsville. “Last year, NAFA was named an Australian Event Award-winner. And it’s not hard to see why with some of Australia’s leading cabaret, comedy, theatre and circus performers all heading to Townsville to celebrate a month of art and culture with us,” Cr Greaney said. She encouraged locals from around the region to pay a visit to Townsville, check out the headlining performances, and see what the North Queensland creative community offers. “Tropic Sounds is going to be an incredible show, with local talent taking the same stage as ARIA Award-winner Tones and I,” Cr Greaney said. Another stand out will be

Dungarri Nya Nya Ngarri Bi Nya, a new collaboration between five Indigenous dance groups from the region, including the Burdekin’s own Bindal dancers. The Wulgurukaba Walkabouts, Big Eye Theatre Dancers, Komet Dancers, Obery Productions, and Bindal Dancers, alongside Townsville based dance company Dance North, will collaborate for the showcase of dance and culture of First Nations cultures in the region. Award-winning multilingual rapper Baker Boy from North East Arnhem Land will close the performance, held at the Ville Headland. Before the performance,

check out the Blak Art Markets to peruse the work of local Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander artists and taste traditional food. The North Australian Festival of Arts was initially planned for 2nd July to 1st August, however some events have been postponed.

Brandon Bowls

Wednesday the 23rd saw a game of triples played by Ann Newton, Lyn Farr, Rob Garner def Kaye Garner, Joy Woods, and Vanda Ballao. We attended pennants in Ingham, and all had fun. On Friday night, two matches

were played under the new lights put up by Coral Coast Electrical the previous night. Vision is no longer a problem, and it resulted in some excellent bowls being played. The trio of W. Stanley, Lyn Storrie and Gary Pearce put on a show of masterful bowls, leaving J Stanley, Wayne Coonan and Doug Kiehne in their wake. The trio of Merv Wilshere, Norm Storrie and Ray Paneccasio outmuscled their opponents in Tony Battaglia, Ross McLaughlin and Joe Ypinazar. On Sunday, the Brandon Club hosted the Queensland Railway Institute Club with 64 players on the green. Even though the QRI crew are a formidable bowls group, fellowship and fun was the order of the day. This coming Friday night, bowls will be on with names in by 6:00 pm for a 6:30 pm start. Social bowls will be on Sunday, with names in by 1:00 pm for a 1:30 pm start. Also, on Sunday, there will be a Rinks competition match between Gary Pearce’s team and Alan Garioch’s team.

Touch Football celebrates another successful season with breakthrough finals Daniel Shirkie BURDEKIN Touch Football Association’s competition director Michael Littlefield says the grand final efforts of the association’s various sides couldn’t have been better timed, with an unfortunate COVID-19 flare-up cancelling many sports fixtures. “It is good to get it out of the road with COVID and everything coming up again, but we’re all very happy with how things have gone, it’s been a really good season,” Littlefield said. “From the club’s perspective especially, it was great, everything went smoothly, everyone enjoyed the night and stuck around and celebrated the close of the season.”

While the fields were packed with teams battling for bragging rights, it was the Guardian Pharmacy sponsored men’s team and The Crew in the women’s fixtures who claimed the silverware for the season. “Both those teams have been around for a while at this point,” Littlfield, who plays as a member of the Guardian side, said. While the Guardian side have shown their strengths over the years, it’s been a case of missed opportunities for the side until now, losing out on title honours to their rivals. They ended the grand final drought with a 7 - 3 scoreline tipping in their favour

against a very talented and determined Trap Runners. “The men’s Guardian side have been a pretty dominant side for many years, they’ve broken the drought this year,” Littlefield said. “We used to have a team, Sports First, who were the most dominant over the last eight or so years and Guardian always ended up as the bridesmaid and never the bride, this year they got up and it was a cracking final against Trap Runners.” “There’s some real quality players on both sides of that game, so it was an incredible game to watch and be a part of.” The Crew took a 6 - 2 victory over Eathorne’s

Princesses in order to take home the trophy, with a number of cross-code players representing the touch association during the battle. “There’s been a really strong mix across the mens and womens sides both; a lot of league players and a couple of union players,” Littlefield said. “The mix of both sports is incredible, the talent’s always there and it’s good to see them all get involved.” The association’s focus is now shifting to their mixed season, where they hope to recruit a few more teams to compete when the game kicks off again following the school holidays.

Footy Tips Round 16 The second State of Origin has been run and won. Seems it’s the year of the Blues who head to Sydney (hopefully) for a dead rubber third game after defeating the Queensland Maroons 26-0 in Brisbane. Queensland had no answer for the hard running and very skilful New South Wales team with brilliance across the paddock. Coach Fittler was laughed at when he named three fullbacks in the team, but honestly, those three fullbacks have been very destructive behind a very dominating and aggressive forward pack. Queensland couldn’t stop NSW Captain James Tedesco, Tommy Turbo Trbojevic and the mercurial Latrell Mitchell, so without a few major changes to the QLD

with

Moon Man team, it’s hard to see how they’ll improve in Game 3. We’re now back where we started - all the way back to May 2020 with the NRL posting Level 4 Protocols again with all players and officials into a Covid Bubble. With all Sydney Clubs playing to empty stadiums and players locked down at home, training and playing with no outside contact allowed.

Roosters V STORM This will be one of two great games this week, providing all of the SOO players can back up after Sunday’s bruising affair. Storm hold the wood over the Roosters after winning the past three encounters and riding high at the top of the table. But even the Roosters can’t take advantage of their home game with all Sydney Clubs not

Carnes’ Call Carnage with

It was a disappointing week for the Burdekin Roosters and Hens with several reasons why players were unavailable for last Saturdays away games with Centrals. After being on a high the week before beating Norths in four grades, the Club sank to a low, going down to the Tigers in four grades with one of those losses by forfeit. With several players away with Confraternity in Brisbane plus others involved in Deb Balls and Origin, the Under 19 were forced to forfeit their match. That forfeit now puts them in fourth place, and they will have to rely on other results going their way if they want to get into the top two. In matches played, Brothers defeated Charters Towers in the Towers 38 – 12, and Western Lions had their first win downing Norths 29 - 20. Reserves coach Ben Smith said he had the bare 13 to take the field with Origin and work taking several away. Smith said one

player was injured, leaving him with 12 for most of the match. He said, under the circumstances, his squad tried hard to be beaten 56 nil by the top of the table Centrals. The coach named Alex Lennox as his best player, with under 19 player Brad Stevenson going hard. Brad’s brother Cameron went well for his first game for some time. “Alex Lennox hasn’t played for a couple of years, but he is finding his timing, and his defence is improving each week,” the coach added. Other results saw Brothers beat Charters Towers 18 – 10 with Western Lions too good for Norths 22 – 12. A Grade coach Chris Perry had to make positional changes to the team which beat Norths at Rugby Park a week ago due to players away with Origin, work and injuries. Last week, Jeffrey Searle returned after injury, played at five-eight, and was named players player.

Football Matters Cyclops with

In a big goal-scoring weekend Burdekin Football Club won three, drew one and lost one of their matches. The five games featured thirty-six goals, with the Panthers scoring 26 of them. Away to Ingham on Saturday, the Premiers won 7-1, the Reserves won 9-0, and the 3rd Division Funkies drew 5-5. On Friday night at home against Saints Eagles Souths, the Reserve Women won 5-0, but the Women Premiers lost 0-4. The 2nd Division team had a bye. In Ingham, the Kalamia Hotel Premiers looked shaky early on after the locals started strongly. The Panthers took the lead via a well-placed free-kick by Jeremy Dal Santo after 20 minutes. At halftime, the Panthers were 4-0 up thanks to a spot-kick, and some well worked goals through the middle of the park. In the second half, Burdekin continued to dominate. The

game finished 7-1 with Jeremy Dal Santo adding two more goals and Jay Leckenby, Mark Grasso, Kyle Taylor and Elliott Dal Santo scoring the others. Burdekin has now collected 10 points out of a possible 12 in their last 4 fixtures and face Brothers next weekend in a crucial fixture in the race for a top 4 spot. The Burdekin Tyre Service Reserves sorted out Ingham 9-0 after leading 5-0 at halftime. Adrian Saunders led the way with a hat trick. Casper Licciardello, and Brendan Mio scored twice, and Callan Sunderland and a Cody Betteridge screamer completed the scoring. This result moves the locals up to 6th place. The Austral Masonry Funkies away to Ingham on Saturday started well and were ahead 2-0 after 17 minutes with goals to Tarryn Smith and Chris Achille. Ingham received a penalty two

allowed to have fans at their field. Players are playing in demoralising empty stadiums. I think it will be another WIN for STORM- they’re in scintillating form at the moment.

Warriors V DRAGONS Tough game to pick with both teams having up and down seasons. You just never know what team will show up week to week. I think it will be a really tight game, but the Dragons seem to be a little more settled and with a little more form. Playing on the Central Coast and with no crowds allowed, the Warriors will really struggle. DRAGONS to WIN in a close encounter.

PANTHERS V Eels First plays third, and both teams looking for the Western Sydney Crown will create an eye-watering challenge. It will be a battle for the heart and soul of the West. This surely has to be the Game of the Round. While

expecting to miss their leader, Nathan Cleary, I still think the Panthers have enough talent to cover for him. Yet, without a packed stadium of screaming supporters, this could really be an anticlimax to a great game. PANTHERS to WIN only if all their players back up from SOO.

Bulldogs V SEA EAGLES The very much improved Dogs up against the destructive power of the Sea Eagles, who have been the leading light of the competition since Tom Trbojevic returned from injury. The only chance Bulldogs may have, is if the SOO players don’t back up - especially the Trbojevic brothers. I find it impossible to see anything but a WIN for SEA EAGLES and an easy one at that!

RAIDERS V Titans A game of rocks and diamondsbut which is which? Both these teams are up and down like a game of snakes and ladders at the moment. With the return

of Josh Papalili there’s been an improvement with their go forward, and with no spectators, the home ground advantage is still a premium. Who can pull the big game out this week is anyone’s guess. With Papalili’s return and the possible return of star and captain Jarrod Croker (away since Round 7), I’m tipping RAIDERS will WIN on the strength of returning players and home ground advantage.

KNIGHTS V Cowboys The Knights, after a good win last week and with the return of their injured star players, looked really good beating the Warriors. However, the Cowboys were off song going down in Townsville against a much-improved Sharks. A genuine 50/50 chance here with maybe a toss of the coin to decide. KNIGHTS to WIN mainly due to home advantage.

Broncos V SHARKS

Broncos V the ever-improving Sharks. Even at home, it’s hard to pick the Broncos reeling from stories of the coach/team not connecting or even communicating positively. On top is all the noise around current players being given their marching orders. There’s currently a huge broom going through the Broncos, and it’s not pretty. It will be tough to see the Broncos even getting close to the Sharks, who are on the recovery path after their early-season turmoil. SHARKS to WIN.

West Tigers VRABBITOHS Even with the prospect of Adam Doueihi back for the Tigers, I can’t see a Top 4 side in the Rabbits being rolled by cellar dwellers Wests Tigers. RABBITOHS to WIN, and they should win easily. The million-dollar question is; will their SOO stars back up to allow them to dominate the struggling Tigers?

The hapless dysfunctional

This week Searle showed his versatility by going to centre, making way for Kali Nauque coming back from lock. Kali enjoyed the move and showed he will be pushing Riley Horan for that number six spot next week. With centres Ethan Hagarty and Jerome Lacco not playing, Searle was partnered with Blackhawk under 21 player Zin Zan Martin. Martin was returning from injury and was allowed to play for the Roosters for only half a game. That was a pity as the former Kiwi was going well, and it appeared only a matter of time before he broke through to score. The match also saw the return of speedster Rainer Power having his first game for the season. Power, like Martin, went close to breaking through on a number of occasions. On the positive side, Mitchell Guy returned from injury, and his hard running up the centre was a feature. He joined in well with fellow forwards Blake Hollywood, Dylan Carew, Dylan Doak and Tate Brombal. Doak enjoyed the number nine and scored two tries in the first half for the Roosters to lead 10 – 6 at the break. Dylan was moved to centre in the second half but did not seem home against

a speedy under 19 player from Centrals. Going close to winning the Player’s Player was secondrower Tate Brombal. The nuggety forward has been coming off the bench but, given a chance at starting, took the opportunity with both hands as he wants the jersey. Brombal also burrowed over for a neat try. The Player’s Player was deservedly won by Daniel Beazley, who showed he is as tough as they come with the amount of punishment he received but kept coming back. Beazley also went close to crossing a couple of times. The locals led by 16 – 14 with 10 minutes to go but could not hold on with the Tigers coming home just a bit better for the 24 – 16 win. Coach Chris Perry said he thought his team had dug deep, although disappointed with the late loss. Joel Mason kicked two goals but was closely watched by the opposition. With Western Lions beating Norths, the Roosters are now equal fourth on the ladder although ahead of the Lions on percentages. In other A-Grade matches, Brothers beat Charters Towers 66 nil and have now scored 146

points for and 0 against in the past two matches. Western Lions beat Norths 28 – 22 in the other match. Hens coach Frank Beer said his team did not execute well towards the line. “Last week we threw the ball about like a hot potato, but this week we seemed to have white line fever with many chances going begging, especially in the second half,” the coach said. Hens led by 12 – 4 at the break but failed to bother the scorer in the second half going down by 22 – 12. Several players were missing, including Townsville fullback Shaniah Capper with the backline disrupted. Ashlee Aguuire went to number one and played well, as did Jo Morgan, who went to centre from her wing spot. Jo was one of the better players. Tamara White had an injured knee, and it was seen her direction around the rucks was missing. Paige Griggs again had a good one with Jess Clift close to players player. Jess scored a try and kicked a goal, and made plenty of ground in attack. However, the best player was again Stephanie Monday, who is practically unstoppable when she decides to go.

The girls are now equal third with two other teams, Brothers and Herbert River. They have a chance at going outright third, but they must beat Herbert River and hope Centrals beat Brothers next week. In other Ladies matches, Brothers beat Charters Towers 28 – 12 and Western Lions too good for Norths 38 nil. There will be no games played in the T D R L this weekend, with games resuming the following week when the Roosters host Herbert River at Rugby Park, Brothers host Centrals and Norths go to Charters Towers with Western Lions on a bye. That will be Ladies Day at Rugby Park, with well over 200 ladies attending Helen Viero Ladies Day. The day will also be a reunion for the 2001 teams who won the A-Grade premiership undefeated and the under 19 title whilst going down in reserve grade. The Club was also Club Champions that year. The Ladies have asked to be the A-Grade curtain-raiser that day, so the order of games will be under 19, reserves, ladies and A-Grade all against Herbert River.

minutes later, which seemed to lift them, and they scored another goal after 31 minutes and then took the lead on the stroke of halftime with another penalty. Shortly after halftime, Ingham went further ahead to lead 4-2, and the game seemed out of reach for the Funkies. However, two further goals to Tarryn Smith and Chris Achille once again evened things up only for Ingham to pull ahead again, scoring two minutes later. Burdekin equalised again in the 86th minute when Chris Achille completed his hat trick to give a 5-5 final score. This Friday, the ladies were at home playing Saints in front of a sea of purple, raising funds and awareness for pancreatic cancer. The CA Contracting Reserve women put on a stellar performance to win 5-0 after leading 3-0 at halftime. Loz Barra and Jade Nucifora both scored twice, with Claudia Pavone getting the other goal. This win keeps the Reserves in 3rd place. The Kalamia Hotel Premier women lost 4-0 to the physical

and fast-paced Saints outfit. Saints were two goals up after twenty minutes and scored two late goals. The final score flattered Saints as the locals created chances but could not put the ball in the net. The Ladies remain in 6th place. This weekend all six Panthers teams are in action in Townsville. On Friday night, the Women’s Premiers and Reserves are away to Olympic, and the Funkies play Ross River. On Saturday, the Premiers, Reserves and 2nd Division are all away to Brothers. As it is the school holidays, there were no Junior games. Fixtures will be resumed when the kiddies are back. In Monday Night Masters, numbers were still down, but in an exciting Euro-based match, Holland beat Ireland 8-7 in extra time after the scores were tied at 7-7. Next week it could well be Italy, if the blues turn up, against Belgium. The Mooney Cup is scheduled for Saturday, 17 July, when the Blue Balls will take on Rainbows once again. In Socceroo news, the World

Cup qualifiers, Round 3, will be drawn on July1. There will be two groups of six, with the top two teams in each group qualifying directly for the World Cup with the two third-placed teams playing off. The Olyroos have been drawn in Group C for the Tokyo Olympics. Their Group games start on 22 July against Aaarrrggentina followed by Spain on 25 July, and Egypt on 28 July. The Matildas are also getting ready for Tokyo. After a 0-0 draw with Sweden, they are due to play Japan on 14 July. After that, in Group G of the Olympics, they will face Sweden and the United States, in addition to their trans-Tasman clash against the Football Ferns. In The A-League Grand Final played in Melbourne, Melbourne City came from behind to defeat Sydney FC 3-1 and take home the trophy for the first time. Sydney FC had won the Grand Final for the past two years. In Europe, the Euro Nations competition is at the knockout stage, Round 16, with the eight

successful teams going through to the Quarter Finals. So far, France, Denmark. Czech Rep, Belgium, Switzerland and Spain have all won their games.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK This week’s quote is another gem from former England player and manager Glenn Hoddle “He is a goal scorer, not a natural-born one - not yet. That takes time.”

Purple Panthers pitch in for battle against pancreatic cancer Daniel Shirkie IT’S not often the Burdekin Panthers are seen outside of their trademark blue and red uniform, but the past week’s fixtures provided a heartwarming opportunity for the women’s premier league and reserve grade sides to switch things up. Both sides donned purple socks emblazoned with supportive slogans aimed at raising awareness of pancreatic cancer, while the club held a number of raffles in order to raise funds. Reserve grade player Lauren Barra, who lost her father to pancreatic cancer a few years ago, said it was special to see the two top-shelf

women’s teams, and the club, rally around the cause. “I’ve got two cousins who also play, and one of my cousin’s partners is a coach, so it’s a big family at the Panthers, they’re always super supportive of anything like that anyone wants to do,” Barra said. “They jumped straight on board, it turned out to be a really good night.” While her father’s passing was the impetus to do something in support of pancreatic cancer research, Barra proposed the purple sock day idea after seeing similar organisations find success down south. “There’s an organisation that runs the same idea down south in Sydney and I saw the

advertising this year and decided it would be a good idea to support it and raise some awareness,” Barra said. “The socks had ‘PanKind’ and ‘Play in Purple’ written on them and we wore them for the night. We’ve got more raffles coming over the next few weeks as well.” While the Premier League women put up a valiant losing effort in their game, and the reserve grade women maintained their spot in the top three with an emphatic win to keep their season rolling, the highlight of the evening for both teams was the fundraising effort. “A number of local businesses chipped in with prizes and such, so we’re very grateful,

Don West Toyota gave us a signed Cowboys jersey which we’ll raffle off and raise some money to go towards pancreatic cancer research,” Barra said. “That was really spectacular to see; the wider community getting behind it and being involved. “Even though it’s something that was really close to my heart, we aren’t the only ones who’ve been affected by it.” Players from across both sides wore the socks to support the initiative, in support of the PanKind charity foundation, which is in it’s seventh year.

Records tumble at Home Hill State High School athletics carnival Daniel Shirkie

STUDENTS and teachers alike at Home Hill State High School have pulled out all the stops to make their annual athletics carnival a success. The Interhouse sporting event was run over a few weeks in total, with pre-run events held during lunch times and the official full day held last Friday. Rain threatened to cancel the event, and heavily impacted events that were planned to be held on the preceding Thursday, with both the 800 metre run and a handful of triple jump events postponed until next term. Records were broken on the Friday across three categories, with new

standards set in the high jump, discus and shot put categories by three hardworking students. Fun, spirited activities were also contested between the houses, with fancy dress and relay races combined to provide some colorful flavour during the day’s events. HPE Subject co-ordinator Emily Poli earned praise for overseeing the affair, and was presented with flowers after the completion of the events by the school’s captains in order to both thank her and wish her well during maternity leave. Facilities officer Allan Styles provided spray-paint artwork for the various school houses on the green as well.
