ONE thousand birthing kits have been delivered to the Birthing Kit Foundation Australia by the Burdekin’s Zonta Club, following a successful Assembly Day at St Francis Primary School. Isabel Stubbs, the President of the Burdekin Zonta Club, says she’s been blown away
by the support from the community, with double the number of volunteers than in previous years. “We had a very successful day with wonderful support from the community. We finished the 1000 kits in record time,” says Isabel.

Ayr’s Mary Arrate appointed Honorary Spanish Consul Daniel Shirkie IT’S not everyday the Burdekin gets a visit from a representative of the Spanish Consul. But that was just what happened over the weekend as Ayr’s Mary Arrate was officially recognised and acknowledged as the Honorary Spanish Consul of North Queensland. The local chapter of the North Queensland Basque Club gathered at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall in order to mark the occasion, with plenty of Spanish food enjoyed during a luncheon held to welcome Juan Manuel Molina Lamothe of the Spanish Consulate in Sydney, to the region. “The Basque are three or four little provinces in Spain and three in France, we’re just a little part of the larger whole, it’s a little bit like Queensland and Australia,” Mrs Arrate said. “But the Spanish Consul covers all of them and all of us.” Mrs Arrate called the recognition an ‘honour’
and was grateful for the recognition of work she’d been doing amongst the community before she’d been nominated as an honorary consul. “I’d been doing a lot of the sort of work beforehand, and that’s why he nominated me I think, he’s probably been seeing my name on things done there forever and ever,” Mrs Arrate said. “Sometimes it’s helping people get their pension or making sure they have their passports and their documentation. “He asked me a few years ago when I first met him when he came up and I thought ‘oh yeah’ but assumed nothing would come of it and now it’s all happening, talk about being thrown in the deep end.” “No, but seriously, it is a very good honour and I can only hope that I do justice to it and their trust in me.” Mrs Arrate was quick to thank Mr Lamothe for the recognition and the new role and all who’d supported her. “I’ve told them they’re all welcome to ring me with their

questions and problems, and that whether I deliver or not is a different matter,” Mrs Arrate joked. “But no, we’ll try and help whoever needs it.” Much of the work so far has been helping young expats get
their Spanish passport, and helping older residents get their Spanish pension, but just as important is making sure the cultural connections are still alive. “It’s always easier if you have children who want to
study overseas or pursue sport overseas, it’s a lot easier if you have that Spanish passport on hand,” Mrs Arrate said.
before running into trouble. Lionel Tappenden says conditions were rough when he got to the stranded mariner.
“It was windy, and it was an outgoing tide. They certainly were grateful when we towed them back in,” says Lionel.

Local diver and VMR assist stranded boaters Marina Trajkovich TWO Cairns men who had been travelling up the coast by boat are grateful to the Burdekin’s Volunteer Marine Rescue after their anchor chain got caught in the boat’s motor, causing the vessel to drift out to sea. Vince Papale says he received the rescue call on Monday morning on the seventh of June, before Lionel Tappenden and 23-year-old Aiden Favero attended the
scene, approximately 15 miles north of Cape Upstart. “One of the men actually managed to get his anchor chain caught in his propeller. When you’ve got the anchor around the propeller, the motor is disabled, and your anchor isn’t working. So he’s at the mercy of the wind,” says Vince. “We were assisted by a local, Russell Beresford, who had seen the incident, and he rang and offered to help. He had diving gear and was actually
able to dive down to the motor and untangle it. “He realised there was something about the boat that didn’t look right and had noticed that it had drifted off into the distance,” he says. The two men travelling in the vessel appeared to be in their late 30s and 60s, travelling from Hervey Bay

In Brief Teenager dies in Bowen crash
Cowboys visit local young rugby players Ex Cowboys player Michael Morgan, current player Ben Condon and manager Michael Luck visit Don West Toyota in Ayr for a Q and A with school students
Marina Trajkovich CURRENT and ex-North Queensland Cowboys stars paid a visit to Ayr this week for a Q and A session with some budding rugby players and awe-struck students. Cowboys player Ben Condon, ex-player Michael Morgan and manager and explayer Michael Luck stopped by Ayr’s Don West Toyota on Thursday, June 3rd, to discuss the highs and lows of their
careers and what life is like as a professional athlete. Select students from Ayr State High School, Home Hill State High School, Burdekin Christian College and Burdekin Catholic High School had the opportunity to submit questions to their idols and meet them face to face. Michael Luck said that the day was a great opportunity for the players to get out there and interact with the public off the playing field.
“It’s a great opportunity to go out in the community, which we haven’t really been able to do this year,” said Luck. “It’s great for me to be able to bring these guys down. The kids can get a bit of a snapshot into what they do day to day in all aspects of life and not just our sport.” He said it was a pleasure to get to meet the young local rugby league players before continuing on to Proserpine and Mackay.
“It’s good for our guys. Ben, in particular, is one of our younger players who is now immersed in that full-time professional environment, which can be a bit of a bubble or a fishbowl at times. It’s good to get out and about,” he said. Ben Condon and retired star Michael Morgan discussed some of their best moments with the team, training schedules, working with dieticians and how they stay in competitive shape ahead of a big game. Lisa Todeschino from Home Hill State School said that students were excited for the opportunity to hear from their role models first-hand. “The students were selected
if they were high performing Rugby League players in their local club, the Burdekin Roosters, and it was very difficult to narrow down that selection,” she said. “The students were really excited to touch base with Michael and to be able to learn about his career and what he’s doing now as well as to get some tips for their performance and their future in the sport. “They’re very excited to meet them, and they’ve brought some caps for Michael to sign. They are keen Cowboys fans as well, so this really is a highlight for them.” SEE ALL THE PHOTOS FROM THE DAY ON PAGE 19>
Burdekin Delta Cinemas closes the final curtain Marina Trajkovich
ROB and Evelyn Webb have announced their bittersweet retirement and a final closing date for the iconic Burdekin Delta Cinemas after listing the business for sale. Evelyn Webb says that following a family decision to sell the business, the time has come to close its doors, announcing an official closing date in five weeks. “I think there’s a lot of people in town who don’t want to see it closed, but we’re both at
retiring age. When we put it up for sale we were, in the back of our minds, thinking of a closing date for it,” she says. “I think that Rob is probably taking it harder than me because he was in charge of building the whole thing and putting it back together. “I’ve worked at the front counter, and there have been customers who have been with us for twenty years. I do feel a little sad. I’ve watched kids going in for years, and I just think, what are they gonna do now?” she says.
The Delta Cinema has been owned and run by the Webbs for the last twenty years, with world-renowned golfer and Evelyn’s daughter Karrie Webb involved in the final decision to put the business up for sale. Evelyn says that buyers are interested in the property but that she doesn’t know what the future holds for the Queen Street complex. “There has been interest. We will be closing on the 14th July,” she says. “It’s up to the next people now to pick it up.”
A thirteen-year-old boy has died with another fourteen year old passenger facing non-life-threatening injuries following a single vehicle crash in Bowen on Wednesday the 9th of June. The teenager had been driving the vehicle before it rolled and caught fire at the intersection of Queens Road and King Street. Superintendent Glenn Morris from the Mackay Whitsunday Police District said police believe the vehicle was stolen with investigations pending.
Sapphire recruits set to debut on court Two of the Burdekin’s best Netball players will get a chance to continue their success when they run on with the rest of the Northern Mendi Rays. Kimberley Bourke and Mackenzie Linton, who both had a hand in the Burdekin Silverlinks premiership win earlier in the year, will debut for the Rays after being signed at the start of the season. The Rays take on the Bond Bull Sharks this Saturday at 6pm at the Townsville Stadium.

Marina Trajkovich SOLICITOR Erlinda Nunn lives a dual life, whether working on estate contracts within her Law firm or patrolling Alva Beach with the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club. The 26-year-old has lived in Home Hill since she was seven years old, developing a fascination with the legal system from a young age before studying law at James Cook University in Townsville. “I think I had a weird obsession with crime shows and documentaries, but now I’m in a completely different area of law. I work with property and wills and estates,” says Erlinda from her office at Connolly Suthers Lawyers in Ayr. “My dad passed away when I was eleven, and after that, because my mum is Filipino, she sometimes has trouble understanding legal documents. So I took on that role.” She says that when her father died, Erlinda became exposed to the importance of the legal system and the effect it could have on a family. She says that although her role can be challenging, she’s passionate about helping other people through the legal system, working in the field of residential and rural property contracting, and managing the legalities of wills. “It’s a career I’ve always

administration work. Sometimes you don’t see the best of people in that area, but it’s also nice to help people through those tough times,” she says. When she’s not evaluating
property claims, Erlinda can be found down at Alva Beach, inspired by the opportunity to assist others in the surf. She says that a near-death drowning incident in a pool when she was five years old inspired her to get her Bronze Medallion as an adult, gaining valuable life-saving skills with the potential to save other lives. “My cousin actually pulled me out of the water just in time. A lot of them had been involved with swimming and had been lifesavers, and I just thought what a good way to give back to the community.”
Now, she’s getting ready for the Gold Coast next year as the Ayr Surf Life Saving Clubs 2022 Surf Girl of the Year entrant. The Surf Girl of the Year competition is a chance for women around Queensland to have their volunteer efforts celebrated, raising money for their local clubs. “It is really exciting. I’m excited to bring Mum to the Gold Coast for the competition. Everyone in the club is so supportive,” she says. And it won’t be the first time Erlinda will be dressing up for the stage. She reminisces on being selected for the Dolly Magazine Model Search as a teenager, travelling to Brisbane for the competition, which saw Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr rise to fame. She’s been a recognisable face as a cover star of Townsville’s DUO Magazine, partaken in local runway shows and been a previous ‘Faces of the Races, for the Burdekin Growers Race Day. “It was always just something fun on the side. I did realise eventually that I would have a better career in law than modelling!” says Erlinda.

One such figure is Alison Milani, the very first Queens personality winner, who won the crown in the Harvest
Festival’s debut year in 1963. Mrs Vollema-Creek said that while the project had started as part of an attempt to commemorate and keep the spirit of the festival alive during COVID, it quickly grew into a study of what she sees as an integral part of Home Hill’s culture. “Last year made a lot of things very difficult, that’s why we were very desperate to make sure it came back this year.

Burdekin Shire’s Citizen of the Year remembered for his giving spirit
Col Casswell at the family’s property in Proserpine.
Daniel Shirkie COL Casswell, a passionate member of the North Queensland Tennis community, has been remembered for his contributions to the sport and his local community. Col was a former Tennis Queensland Board Director and life member of the Home Hill Tennis Association, as well as a Bendigo Community Bank Director for over 15 years. He was recognised by friends and family following his untimely
passing due to brain cancer. Casswell was an advocate for regional tennis during his time that he was on the Tennis Queensland Board. He was also acknowledged for his volunteer work in the Burdekin with the Shire Council 2021 Citizen of the Year award. Tennis Queensland President Warwick Nicol also shared his thanks for all that Casswell accomplished during this tenure with the organisation. “Col Casswell was a genuine bloke who loved his sport and
wanted to give all of himself to make sure everyone else, no matter age or gender had the opportunity of experiencing this great sport,” Mr Nicol said in a statement. “Col’s support of tennis was a package deal. Surrounded by his wife and children, the Casswells have been unstoppable in their quest to promote this great game. I am sure the entire tennis community mourns with the Casswell family today. Col may not be with us in person, but his legacy will live on for
generations to come.” The Burdekin and wider North Queensland community turned out in force for Casswell’s funeral on Friday, with friends and family paying tribute to the much-loved figure. Those from further afield were able to pay their respects and say goodbye via the livestream. “Col would have been humbled with his farewell celebration. He was not one for the limelight and preferred his role as the quiet achiever,” Mrs Casswell said.
“He would have particularly loved the guard of honour that the tennis family formed. There was just so much love for Col that we all saw as we said goodbye. He was my best friend, a great father and friend to many and we were truly blessed to have him in our lives.” Lara Brotto said Col was one of the most extraordinary and beautiful souls she could ever hope to know. “We loved his razor-sharp mind, his grace, his integrity and fabulous wit, with such wisdom that never failed, his gift for bringing people together, and his ability to make each of us feel special,” Mrs Brotto said. Former Burdekin MP Rosemary Menkens said Mr Casswell was someone who ‘volunteered without hesitation’. “Col was a wonderful friend and a very valued employee,” Ms Menkens said. “He had a keen sense of community and volunteered without hesitation. He was a great mentor to many, and he made such a difference in many people’s lives in many ways and on many levels. He often referred to the people who supported his life’s work as his family and treated everyone around him as such.” Mr Casswell is survived by Kate, Andrew, Hannah and James.

Donna’s Groovy Booby Bus on tour for cancer awareness Marina Trajkovich
A Groovy Booby Bus swung through Ayr in a flash of pink this week, driven by breast cancer survivor, author and advocate Donna Falconer during her six-month road trip around Australia. The trip is part of Donna’s advocacy mission, as she stops in towns throughout regional Australia to spread awareness about breast cancer, leaving in her wake an important message, an infectious energy and iced pink biscuits shaped like breasts. While on the road, she’s stopping with locals to discuss
A breast cancer survivor and breast screening advocate is sharing her story while on the road through regional Australia. the importance of breast checks and early detection, recently paying a visit to the Gudjuda Deck Cafe in Ayr. She’s also selling her book, My Time Through Breast Cancer and Beyond, with money raised contributing to the Breast Cancer Network Australia and the McGrath Foundation. “I get out and raise awareness because it’s a conversation that saved my life and made me go get screened for breast cancer,” says Donna.
“I wrote my book hoping that people would read it and it would encourage them to get a breast screen and hopefully save their life as well.” Back in 2009, despite being awarded a local Woman of the Year award for her volunteer work with breast cancer survivors, the Dubbo local realised she had never had a breast screen herself. When friends and family urged her to get tested, she never anticipated a positive result.
“My thoughts were, I’m 44, I’ve breastfed three children, I have no family history of breast cancer and I don’t have the time,” she says. “I was just blown away. It was a total shock. I thought this can’t be true. Like anyone who’s been through it, it’s a very hard journey to go through.” Donna says there were no signs of the disease and seemingly no reason for concern when the returned scan revealed that she had Stage 3 Breast Cancer.

very small café originally. The original owners ran it for three years and then we’ve had it for six,” says Suzy Loader, who runs the café with her husband Nick. “It used to just be a takeaway place with only a handful of seats and it’s really been only in the last three years that we’ve extended into the extra space next door,” she says. “We just really wanted to acknowledge the great team we have and next year, for our 10th anniversary, we’d like to throw an even bigger party.”

calling on Queensland’s Sports Minister Stirling Hinchliffe, as well as local government representatives to back the idea. Kennedy MP Bob Katter also lent his support to the idea, noting that the statue of Jonathan Thurston that stands
at the entrance to the stadium draws plenty of interest. “I think JT’s statue is looking a bit lonely out there by itself so it would be wonderful if he could be joined by his mate, Matty Bowen,” he said. “The statues are a great tourist attraction and everyone
loves getting their photo taken beside them.” CONNECT NOW: To express your interest in seeing a statue of Matty Bowen erected at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, head online to https://bit.ly/3zdnEPl
Traeger MP Robbie Katter and petitioner Steven Martin
A community-driven push to erect a statue of North Queensland Rugby League legend Matty Bowen has been given a second breath at life thanks to Townsville’s Origin coup. Traeger MP Robbie Katter, who last year sponsored an official parliamentary petition run by Townsville man and NQ Cowboys fanatic Steven Martin, is bringing the idea back in response to Townsville securing hosting rights for the 2021 series’ first bout. The petition called for a statue to be erected in honour of Bowen next to his Cowboys and Maroons playing partner and fellow legend Jonathan Thurston out the front of Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
The initial petition on change.org received around 4,000 signatures, with another petition brought before parliament receiving a further 1,000 signatures. Bowen’s fantastic performances during the early 2000s, helped lift the North Queensland Cowboys to their first grand final and helped establish the Maroons as a force to reckon with. His efforts for both sides earned him Dally M Fullback of the Year honours in 2007. “Matty is a home-grown talent, a country boy from a remote town who realised his potential right here in our region and remained committed to the Cowboys right throughout his career,” Mr Katter said.
OUR ECONOMY IS ON TRACK TO COME BACK Australia’s economy is on track to come back. In fact, our economy outperformed all major advanced economies in 2020. In the second half of 2020, it grew at the fastest pace on record and there are now more people in work than before the pandemic.

I do get emotional,” he says. “It’s definitely a satisfying thing just to be a part of it, and you meet a lot of people from all over the place.” Julie Pavone, the founder of Laurie’s Love, says that she was humbled when Brad reached out to her, offering to fundraise for the cause. “It is very heartwarming, and it really does encapsulate the message of Laurie’s Love of giving to others.

You don’t have to be mad to walk 100km
The 100k’s Mad Mob has joined forces with Laurie’s Love to walk 100kms from Ravenswood to Ayr for brain cancer research.
Logan Hayes, Christopher Perry, Lisa Perry, Brad Perry and Sam Clements will be walking 100 kilometres to support brain cancer research
Marina Trajkovich WHEN Ayr local Brad Perry organised his first fundraising charity walk thirteen years ago, he had no idea the popularity it would gain, nor the challenge it would present. Hundreds of kilometres later, he’s kicking off another walk, with the aim of undertaking the 100 km from Ravenswood to Ayr, raising money for Laurie’s Love, the local organisation dedicated to brain cancer research. After experiencing a heart attack, Brad was inspired to take action within the community, raising money for local charities in the process. “I just thought it’d be a fun challenge, something to do,” says Brad. He says that the walks have gained significant popularity over the years, with walkers joining from all over Australia for the cause. Among regular walkers are Merle Rosadi, a 61-year-old nurse who regularly travels from Ingham and Kellie Elton
from the Kalamia Hotel, who once completed the gruelling 100kms in a moon boot. “The oldest we’ve had join us is a 79-year-old woman who’s doing it again this year,” says Brad. “We wanted to do it again because we weren’t able to do it last year. It is something to look forward to, and the original group wants to keep it going. Past recipients of fundraisers have been the Queensland Cancer Council, The Golden Octopus Foundation and suicide prevention organisation CORES, the recipients of the last walk in 2019, where 64 people partook in the trek. Brad says that although the 100kms is challenging, it’s an experience that is equally rewarding, with emotions running high as participants cross the finish line. “If you can make it to the dirt, you’ve got a good chance of doing it. Your muscles get sore. You’re tired. You get blisters, you’re walking for forty hours straight. “Sometimes, when you

John Furnell is as proactive as they come, having worked across several health industries and volunteer organisations in the community. Marina Trajkovich
Faces of the Burdekin:
John Furnell
HE’S a familiar face in and around the Burdekin but many don’t know that swim school owner, councillor and nurse John Furnell got his start as an eighties jazzercise and fitness instructor. The health professional from Sydney had been working in the fitness and aerobic dance industry before moving to North Queensland’s Whitsundays region to be a swimming teacher where he met his now wife, Ayr local, Lisa on South Molle Island. The pair then decided to move to the Burdekin where John decided it was time for a career switch, or two. “I did phys-ed and dance education which morphed into the general health and fitness area. There were a lot of dance classes back in the Jane Fonda days,” says John reminiscing. “Lisa’s family had lived in Ayr and we decided to buy a business here, LJ’s Pizza, for Lisa and John which was
across the road from the theatre. “We ran that for five years and whilst we had that business, I went and did my nursing course. I did my enrolled nursing at Ayr Hospital and did my studentship at Townsville Hospital in 1989,” says John. He discusses his passion for the medical profession from outside the Burdekin Swim School, which he co-runs with his wife in Ayr. John worked as a registered nurse before training and working as a paramedic at the Ayr Station for twenty years. He was also a captain with the Australian Army Reserve in Townsville as a nursing officer and still works as a registered nurse. “There’s a lot of times where you come home, you sit down and just think ‘wow, how lucky am I to do this great job,’ I’m making a difference in people’s lives or helping them through a particularly rough period,” says John. “I think it’s good because

you develop a connection with people that no one else can really understand. It can take its toll but I do enjoy it. It’s hard to explain but I love it,” he says. John talks about how, in 2016, he suffered from a stroke when training for the Burdekin Sugar Rush, collapsing while training on a treadmill at the gym. It’s his perseverance through the slow and challenging three year recovery and continued positivity that’s made him an inspiration to many. “I was medically discharged and so that was basically three years of learning to walk again, to talk, getting those movements back. It was very challenging. Not something I want to go through again but it was just step by step,” says John. “When you do first aid training you talk about a sense of impending doom. When you actually go through something like that you understand what impending doom feels like. I did think
vehicles that are unlocked and/or have valuables in plain sight. Locking your house and car and securing valuables including money, keys, wallets and mobile phones will deter opportunistic thieves. If you see someone acting suspiciously AT ANY TIME, ring Ayr Police Station on 4790 3555 or after hours phone 131 444, unless life threatening, then call 000. Don’t let yourself become a victim of crime – Lock it or Lose it!
during that time, this is it. “Very slowly I started nursing again,” he says. Despite the challenges he’s been through, his enthusiasm for the community remains palpable. When he’s not volunteering with the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre and the Burdekin Community Association he’s life guarding with the Ayr Surf Lifesaving Club, using his experience in the medical field on the beach. If he’s not on the beach or in the Council chambers, he’s on the stage with the Burdekin Singers or the Home Hill Choral Society, MC-ing at community events or dressing up as Santa to entertain children and seniors at retirement homes at Christmas. “My mother was a very hard worker. She brought up five kids on her own and she had a lot of strength and was a great role model. It’s really made me want to do a lot of things and fostered that love of community,” says John. “I just love the community and I’m happy to be involved. I think that if you want things to change you’ve got to go in and change them.”

LOCAL HISTORY 11
thursday 10 june 2021
Genealogy expert maps Home Hill’s family history Marina Trajkovich MOST families are unaware of the intricacies of their own history, but for ex-Home Hill local Joanne Gibson, it’s fitting together the missing pieces of the puzzle that makes genealogy so exciting. In her free time, the 59-year-old is going through the records of over 400 families from Home Hill in an effort to map the region’s history, creating an accessible family tree as part of a long term personal project. Joanne is currently studying genealogy online through the University of Toronto and living in Brisbane while digging through the records of Home Hill’s first families. She says that the project started a couple of months ago when her mother handed her a box of old records, letters and photographs that had been collected to piece together her own family history. She says she became enthralled learning about her predecessors and connecting the dots of previous generations and
Joanne Gibson
hopes to eventually share that knowledge of Home Hill with other locals. “I used a lot of that information. It’s like a puzzle and requires so much organisation. I just became fascinated,” says Joanne. “My mothers family were early settlers in the Burdekin around 1913. Both families came very early to the Burdekin. “The first Gibson that came to Australia was from London, and he was a mariner who came out in about 1840 to Sydney. He was the first signal master at the South Head Signal Station on Sydney Harbour. “One of his daughters married a man called Robert Johnstone, who I then learnt the freshwater crocodile was
named after. [Crocodylus johnstoni.] I just became so fascinated by all of this stuff,” she says. Joanne says she’s slowly chipping through early Home Hill records, from residents maps of the Inkerman Mill, to old primary school admission records, in the hopes of piecing together a representation of the town’s early days. “I think a lot of people are probably not aware of the history, and I would like to track down some of the original families and be able to say, what were the original farms, who did these people marry. To tell the story of the beginning of Home Hill,” says Joanne. Joanne says she uses subscription websites like ancestry.com and the platform Find My Past to dig up and verify old records. She’s approached the Burdekin Shire Council for a map of the Home Hill cemetery to learn more about who is buried there and who can be traced back to Home Hill’s origins. “I’m not exactly sure where
all the information is going to go yet, really, but it is going to increase my abilities in researching and finding information. “It is a very long term project because there is so much to go through. One family could take you months of work. It’s just a case of putting in names and plodding along,” she says.
Joanne is also inviting locals to get in touch and has already dug up the records of families who have contacted her on Facebook, in one instance tracking down the gravestone of a lost grandfather buried in Devon, England. “It is the puzzle aspect when I’m looking for records, particularly the further back
you go, the fewer records there are. When you actually find that bit of proof and find out who that person was, it’s an exciting moment,” says Joanne. CONNECT NOW: To get in touch with Joanne about your family history, find her on Facebook via https://bit.ly/3pufrlx

Uncle Tom Kelly
MOST locals know of Mt Kelly in the Airville area, but how many know how it got its name. My mum’s father, James Kelly, a little Irishman from Portadown, County Armagh, left his homeland and all of his family to come to Australia - the land of promise. I don’t know the year, but he eventually landed in Bowen. There he worked as a blacksmith and did fencing. He and a mate heard of the land opening up in the Burdekin in the area now called Airville, so they set off to acquire some land. James selected the area near a creek and called it Laurelvale. It also included the land near the hill. His mate called his area Applecross, also on a creek. James married Wilhelmina Payard, whose family had been at Bowen and who were neighbours again in the new territory. James and Minnie had thirteen children, three of whom had died young while George died at 31 from the Spanish flu. They grew crops and grazed cattle around the hill area, which became known
as Kelly’s Hill. It was wild scrubby country with lots of rock, even when I went there in the 1950s. James’ son Tom took it over. Tom had married a teacher called Fanny Knot. They had no children. My brother Keith Elliott acquired it. He had been a stockman most of his working years. His son Graham Elliott tells me there was even a prospector looking for gold up there, without success, obviously. Keith later sold the territory to an investor who created the five-acre blocks for housing around the hill. Somewhere, sometimes it was declared a mountain, and Mt Kelly became a township
that provided new pupils for the old Airville school. When the school commenced in 1890, it was called Airdale. The first pupils were Parker’s, Kelly’s, Ross’, Boyd, Kann, Holmes, Towers, Pilcher’s and Aitcheson’s. At one stage, the teacher was Hannah Kelly, a cousin. James eventually got his parents and siblings out to the area for his older brother William and his wife, who remained in Ireland. However, many of that family came, mostly settling in other states. There are still Kelly names in the local phone book. However, not all come from that little Irishman James Kelly – but I can say that I do.

PERFORM TO BRING BACK ANNUAL CONCERT
Daniel Shirkie
THINGS are heading at breakneck speeds for the students and teachers at Perform Music Studios as they prepare for their upcoming concert on June 19. Amaia Licciardello, the studio’s director, says things have been ‘very crazy’ following a performancepacked few months. “We had over one hundred entrants into the Eisteddfod and now we’re straight into preparing our concert stuff, there’s even kids preparing for exams, so it’s all happening right now,” Ms Licciardello said. Despite the intense workload and the immense amount of preparation, the young cohort that make up the performance studio have been handling it well. “There’s actually three school musicals going on right now as well, so we’ll have kids who’re preparing with us for a few hours and then heading straight to their East End or BCH or Ayr High rehearsals,” Ms Licciardello said. “They’re putting in a massive amount of effort, their commitment is really to be commended, they’re always coming in with a
positive attitude. “I thought we’d have to work really hard to keep their spirits high, but they’ve been absolute champions, hats off to them and hats off to their parents and teachers as well.” This year’s performance, which will be split into two halves, will feature a headlining act inspired by The Greatest Showman, followed by a musical concert involving pop music. “Early on, we look at what the kids are loving and we pick themes and pieces from there, the stuff that we think they’ll enjoy,” Ms Licciardello said. “The Greatest Showman was very popular when it came out, we were planning to do it last year before COVID hit and that cancelled our plans.” The first half of the concert will be ‘all Greatest Showman’ with dialogue and performance for the studio’s musical theatre students to sink their teeth into, while the second half will involve live music including pop songs and tributes to boy bands and girl groups. “It’s good to get them singing and exposed to different styles of music,” Ms Licciardello said. “Even our piano kids, who
The crew from Perform Music
are preparing for exams at the moment, which involves more traditional playing, they’re going to be involved in the first half and then playing songs from Imagine Dragons and the like later, which is great experience for them.” Aside from the continued development of the students, the return of the concern
is also a great showing for the continued growth of the studio, with them now set to host their fifth concern after six years in operation. “We started with one small concert, just in the Burdekin Singers Lighthouse, and now we’re doing them in the theatre,” Ms Licciardello said. “I like to have the whole cast on the stage for the
opening, this year we’ve got about 160 kids, so it’s going to be tricky, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, it’s such a beneficial experience for them.” Ms Licciardello and the other teachers are also looking ahead to the future, knowing the kids will be full of energy as soon as the final curtain drops.
“The difference we see in them the week after they do the concert, the passion is just so much bigger and they’re definitely singing louder and smiling more,” Ms Licciardello said. “We’re very grateful whenever we see our town having that kind of passion for the arts.”

thursday 10 june 2021 Bernice Zaro helping East Ayr State School Students with their wearable art designs
East Ayr State School creates Indigenous Reference Group Marina Trajkovich A new initiative from East Ayr State School is working towards a more supportive and inclusive environment for Indigenous students, seeking help from members of the community via their Indigenous Reference Group. Deputy Principal, Damien Ricketts says the group has been running since November last year to increase student’s awareness and understanding of the regions local indigenous cultures.
“What we really wanted to do this year at the school was to look at the way we engage with the Indigenous community at East Ayr, and so we sought out some feedback from community members,” said Mr Ricketts. “We thought that there was an opportunity for more proactive work to be done in that space, so we created the Indigenous Reference Group. We invited some parents and carers of Indigenous students to have a bit of a yarn and to chat, I suppose, about how we’re going from their
perspective. “We really want to create an environment that creates belonging for our Indigenous students as well, and we started that conversation with them about where we go next. He says that through community feedback, the school began working on creating more inclusive classrooms that acknowledged and celebrated diversity among students. “I think the main thing was making sure that our school environment is reflecting the indigenous voices that
we’ve got. That involves the physical environment, the classroom environment and what we teach at the school to make sure those voices are reflected,” said Mr Ricketts. “One of the recommendations was to create Indigenous recognition days throughout the year. We’ve recently acknowledged Reconciliation Week, and we’ve now got the ‘adopt a ranger’ program with Gudjuda. Tracey Solomon from the Gudjuda Reference Group has been visiting the students,” he said. Mr Ricketts says that the new initiatives have been made possible by the dedication of teachers and teachers aides, like Naomi Lampton, Maureen Eaton and Kellie Lampton who are passionate about inclusiveness. This week, students worked on creating their own wearable art pieces to go towards the the People, Culture and Country Project, a North Queensland arts initiative led by Emily Nash. “It’s called the People, Culture and Country Wearable Art Project. It’s an ongoing project where students are encouraged to design and create a piece of wearable art that will be displayed in Townsville alongside work from other North Queensland regional schools,” said Mr Ricketts.
“It could be a suit, a headpiece. Our local totem here is the Gubulla Munda which is the snake, and so kids have already begun to look at using snakeskin and creating something that reflects the local indigenous people,” he said. “We have now engaged
local indigenous artist, Aicey Zaro, to work with the ten Year 5 and 6 students who have committed to developing the artwork. “It’s an opportunity to learn about their local culture and to develop a piece of artwork that reflects some of those local stories.”
BCHS READY TO ROCK
Marina Trajkovich
BURDEKIN Catholic High School is getting ready for their production of School of Rock, based on the hit movie and noughties classic featuring Jack Black. Director Elisa Rigano says the production will be a real treat with talented students bringing the movie to life. “It’s going really well. I have a group of about thirty students, and they’re amazing. They’re the ones who are experienced theatre performers, but we’ve also got a couple of newsies, new students who’ve never been on stage before,” said Ms Rigano. “They came to the audition and sang, and we all just went ‘oh wow.’
The students have been preparing for the show, for the big performance at the Burdekin Theatre on July 16th. “It’s a bit different to what we’ve done in the past. It’s got a lot of rock which we haven’t really done before. It’s the kind of show that will appeal to both kids and adults, especially if they’re familiar with the movie,” said Ms Rigano. “If you love the film, you’ll love the stage show because it’s just high energy all the way through.” CONNECT NOW: Tickets for the show can be purchased through the Burdekin Theatre website www.burdekintheatre.com. au.

We finished the 1000 kits in record time,” says Isabel. “Everyone I spoke to was very happy to help and were keen to assist women in third
world countries to save lives. “We do not know where the kits will be needed yet. With the thousand kits we prepared, we can save 2,000 lives. I think that should make anyone happy for two and a half hours of work.” The kits will be donated to an in-need community chosen by the Birthing Kit Foundation in the coming months, with each kit containing the basic tools required to give mothers safer access to childbirth. Data from the World Health Organisation reveals that 295,000 women die on average a year as a result of childbirth complications, 94% of which are preventable. Infection remained one of the top causes of mother and
child mortality, occurring in developing countries and communities impacted by poverty and poor access to health services. Each kit costs just five dollars to produce and contains basic items that reduce the risk of infection during labour, dramatically reducing the risk of both mother and infant mortality. A plastic sheet separates the mother from unclean surfaces during delivery while soap, gauze, gloves and a clean scalpel for safe umbilical cord removal add to the chances of a healthy birth. “The $5,000 needed to purchase the kits from the foundation and to then assemble them comes from our International Women’s
Day fundraiser, which is a great fun day,” says Isabel. “We are also helped by Jo Gabiola, who takes one of the biggest steps out of the process by folding all 1000 pieces of plastic sheets, which makes the job on the Assembly day so much faster and easier. “We are very grateful to the community that has supported us locally so that we can supply these kits internationally.”

2021 crushing season gets under way
Invicta Mill Production Superintendent James Wallace on the first day of crushing for 2021.
Wilmar Sugar INVICTA Mill in the Burdekin has kicked off the 2021 crush for the Wilmar Sugar group, with the first bin of cane tipped just after 6am today.
Production Superintendent James Wallace said Invicta’s B-side started crushing operations an hour ahead of schedule at 6.04am. The factory’s A-side milling train started at 10am.
He said start-up operations had run smoothly, and he was looking forward to seeing the first raw sugar produced tomorrow morning. “Our maintenance teams have done an excellent job over the past six months in getting the factory ready for the 2021 crushing season. “Our people have also done some really good work in the pre-commissioning process over the past fortnight to enable us to have such a smooth start today. “Now it’s time for the production team to take over and start making sugar.” Burdekin Regional Operations Manager Paul Turnbull said Wilmar’s other three Burdekin mills – Pioneer, Kalamia and
Inkerman – also started crushing today. He said the Burdekin mills would process a total of 7.97 million tonnes of sugarcane this year – more than half of the total throughput for the Wilmar group. Wilmar’s eight mills will process a total of 15.29 million tonnes of sugarcane this year. Wilmar’s Herbert and Plane Creek Mills will start crushing next Tuesday (15 June). Proserpine Mill will kick off on 29 June. The start of crushing means cane trains are now operating around the clock. Residents and visitors are urged to approach all level crossings with caution and look out for cane trains.
REEF REGS DISASTER HIGHLIGHTS NEED FOR OFFICE OF SCIENCE QUALITY ASSURANCE AgForce AS agriculture industry representatives prepare to give witness statements at a public hearing in support of a Reef Regulation Reversal Bill, AgForce is stepping up calls for a national Office of Science Quality Assurance to guarantee there isn’t a repeat of the Reef debacle that has hit farmers hard. Landholders living in six Reef catchment areas have been stung by a raft of new regulations implemented by the Queensland State Government over the past 18 months despite little proof agricultural practices have any impact on the Reef and water quality. AgForce CEO Michael Guerin said an independent Office was the only way to protect the hundreds of farming families and regional communities from onerous, unfair regulations forcing some out of the industry. “Clearly the Reef is an emotional issue, but allowing outdated, flawed, nonpeer-reviewed science and pressure from green groups to dictate government policy is not the solution,” Mr Guerin said. “Farming families in Reef catchment areas are leaving
the industry because they have had enough of taking the blame for something they’re not responsible for – enough of the red tape and bureaucracy hindering their farming efforts to lead us in our post-COVID recovery. “An independently run Office of Science Quality Assurance isn’t only for the Reef. Once established, it would be able to oversee every aspect of policysetting science related to vegetation management, the environment, air quality, and much more. “Agriculture has nothing to hide. If it is the same for the people pointing the finger, then why not get on board and support our continued calls for an Office to guarantee legislation is created on evidence-based facts, not opinions?” AgForce Reef Taskforce Chair Alex Stubbs said the public hearing in Brisbane on Friday and the Reef Regulation Reversal Bill put forward by Katter’s Australian Party was a chance to go back to the future on Reef regulations. “This Bill, if passed, will take us back to the level of regulation and penalties units we had in 2009,” Mr Stubbs said.
QSL Market Update
current as of 9 June 2021
Sugar
• Following the ICE 11 raw sugar market closure on Monday last week for the US Memorial Day public holiday, sugar prices traded towards the higher end of the 17 USc/lb range, with the July 2021 contract reaching a high last Wednesday of 17.93 USc/lb before closing the week at 17.71 USc/lb. • West Texas Intermediary (WTI) crude oil gained a respectable 5.0% week on week, and together with a stronger Brazilian Real pushed spot ethanol parity up to 17.82 USc/ lb by the end of last week. At the time, this was above the level of the prompt July 2021 ICE 11 contract. With this in mind, the market will be paying particular attention to the raw sugar/ethanol split in the upcoming UNICA (Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association) harvest reports to check if Brazilian mills are changing their production to producing ethanol over sugar. • The Indian government announced a major policy target change whereby gasoline blended with 20% ethanol (E20) will now be sold from 2023. This accelerated target should incentivise Indian millers to consider investing in ethanol distilling capacity and has the potential to absorb a portion of the Indian cane crop. • The latest Commitment of Traders report dated 1 June revealed speculators had back-flipped and added an additional 27,000 lots to their position. They now hold 244,000 lots net long. • Outlook: Short-term consensus remains that the prompt ICE 11 price should spend most of its time within the 17-18 US cents range, as 17 US c/lb is below approximate Brazilian ethanol parity and 18 USc/lb is the current level were India can begin exporting additional volume without the need of their export subsidy.

Currency
• The Australian Dollar (AUD) traded in a very narrow range for the majority of last week, only taking a brief dip below 77 US cents to its low of 76.46 US cents on Thursday after independent American research institute ADP published strong US employment numbers for May. The following day, official US non-farm payroll data was released and disappointed the market by printing a figure of 559,000 jobs, well below the consensus of 675,000. The Australian Dollar subsequently recovered all of its losses and closed the week at 77.44 US cents.
“It would mean regulating three Reef catchments instead of six – Burdekin, Wet Tropics, and Mackay Whitsunday. “It would still require producers in certain situations and locations to operate within an accredited Environmental Risk Management Plan, but one with many more practical farm plan options. “And producers would still have to apply only the optimum amount of fertiliser, based on a soil test. “Importantly, the Bill proposes that all producers have a ‘duty of care’ to notify authorities of any environmental harm to water quality while carrying out activities under their Environmental Risk Management Plan, as well as to appoint an
independent regulator to oversee enforceable actions and development of ERA standards. “If AgForce’s calls for an independent Office are finally accepted, we can prove once and for all that land-based runoff of fertilisers and pesticides are not harming the Reef and there is therefore no need for the current level of regulation in Reef catchments.” CONNECT NOW: People interested in watching the public hearing on Friday 11 June can tune in online at: www.parliament.qld.gov. au/work-of-committees/ committees/HEC/ inquiries/current-inquiries/ RGBRPM2021 or https://tv.parliament.qld.gov. au/committees
• On the domestic front, Australian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data surprised to the upside, reporting a 1.8% change quarter on quarter compared to 1.5% expected by the market, and 1.1% change year on year vs 0.6% expected. Despite this data confirming GDP is now back above pre-pandemic levels, the AUD paid little attention to the domestic information and remains focused internationally. • The Australian trade position strengthened in April as total exports increased and imports decreased, leading to a trade surplus position of $8 billion, up from $5.8 billion in March. This position indicates there is continued high demand for Australian commodities (as can be seen in the strong price of iron ore) which should lead to economic growth and may help to strengthen the AUD.

THE Home Hill Choral Society is bringing back one of its most popular productions, performing three shows of Harem Scarem. Dress rehearsals are underway for the new and improved show, which was first performed last year, blending comedic sketches and vocal performances from the Home Hill Choral Society choir. Director of the show and Vice President, Erin Brennan, says she’s looking forward to sharing the performance once more. “Not everyone got to see the show last year with the reduced numbers, so we thought we’d revamp it. We do have a couple of new faces,” says Erin. “It really was a fun show to do for all of us as well, so we thought we would do it again.”
The show is a mixture of old and new songs, drawing off familiar Arabian stories and mythologies like the genie. “We’ve got Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now, so we enjoy performing different songs and adding some more modern ones as well,” says Erin. “Our choir love being on stage, and everyone that’s been has raved about it. We do have a couple of people coming back. “We encourage people to just come along and relax, have fun and enjoy the show.”
CONNECT NOW: Head to Brennan’s Tyrepower to purchase a ticket for shows held at The Vault, 93 Eighth Avenue Home Hill, from Friday 11th June to Sunday 13th. Dinner is included with the show.

Centrals in all four grades in the western city last Saturday, so they will be out to put points on the board. Hens coach Frank Beer was not happy with the effort from his forwards last week, and the return of Jess Clift should strengthen them, although they will miss the injured Shakira Carr. The best game of the day could be the under 19 match with the high flying Miners keen to get back on top after having their wings clipped by Centrals last week 22 – 8. The young Roosters had a good win over Western Lions 24 – 16,
playing well second half. They will have to play all game to get on top of the second-placed Miners, with the Roosters sitting fourth. This game starts at 3 pm. The Rooters reserves broke through for a win over Norths but have not been able to put points on the board since then. The Miners are in a similar position, although they are yet to record a win and sit at the bottom of the table. Coach Ben Smith knows he will have a few players missing with work, but he should have the same squad which pushed the Brothers
second half two weeks ago. This game starts at 4.30 A Grade coach Chris Perry says he has a few sore bodies from last weeks win over the Western Lions, but he expects to put out close to the same team. He was still waiting to see if he had Ethan Hagarty back from the Blackhawks under 21, and he does know Jerome Lacco is missing this week with work. Perry said he thought Jeff Searle would be back from an ankle injury for the centres to replace Lacco, but top forward Mitchell Guy will still be missing. The sixth-placed Miners are
always hard to beat and like nothing better than to knock off the Burdekin at home. Depending on other results, a win by the Roosters could see them go from fifth into the top four. The Roosters played exciting football last week and will hopefully do so again, farewelling stalwart Kurt Perry. Perry plays his last game on Saturday before departing for Canberra on work commitments. He has been a good servant for the League over the years and will be missed... hair bun and all. The match gets underway at 6 pm.

CANETOADS JUNIORS PAVE THE WAY FOR FUTURE SUCCESS Daniel Shirkie THE Under 16s Burdekin Canetoads are riding high after a standard-setting performance that earned them Team Of The Round honours for their recent patch of form. The Under 16s have proved their class by climbing into the second-ranked spot on the junior ladder, nestled just behind the competitionleading Brothers Under 16s. The two sides are set to lock horns in the coming weeks, with Burdekin in a prime position to spark an upset thanks to their recent display of attacking prowess. The side scored nearly 150 points in their three most recent turns on the turf, and have proven themselves able in defence as well. Coach Stephen Keryk says the side is gelling well, thanks to the continuity between the players, all of whom have been performing well individually. “The core of this team, they’ve been together for about six years now, they’ve been playing together since 2015 and we’ve got a squad of 24 there who constantly turn up to training,” Keryk said. “They’ve been playing some really good football and

The Under 16s have been experiencing a strong run of success, and some tough battles, in recent weeks
they’ve come together really well. “It’s all coming to fruition to a degree.” It’s not just tight-knit camaraderie that’s driving the team, but commitment too, with a strong sense of discipline seeing the under 16s line up on the paddock for training early this year. “They’re all there, they’ve been there from the pre-season, we’ve had a minimum of about twentyodd players showing up during the pre-season, they’ve started the year off really well off the back of that,” Keryk said. “My co-coach, Christian Lago, we’ve been together for
burdekinlocal.com.au
all the way through those six years, because our sons are both in the team, so it’s been good to be a part of it.” Keryk says the ultimate goal is to ensure the sport remains enjoyable for his and Lago’s young charges, with the hope that they’ll stick with Union, and the Canetoads. “That’s one of the goals for us is to have those lads follow through and be senior Canetoads eventually, that’s what we’re trying to do and we want to make sure they enjoy it and they can go further,” Keryk said. “It’s across the board too, because I know the 12s are doing astronomically well at the moment as well, they’ve
got really strong numbers and they’re doing really well in their age group.” In addition to their success in the local competition, a few members of the Under 16s playing group are set to make the step up to the representative arena after being selected to train as Townsville Brolgas. “Six of the boys in our squad have made the rep team and they’ll be heading down to Toowoomba across the June and July holidays,” Keryk said. But in the immediate future, Keryk’s focus is at home, where the Canetoads will soon take on Brothers in a top of the table clash.
Friday night social bowls consisted of two triples games. The trio of Norm Storrie, Doug Kiehne and Gary Pearce fought out a tight contest with the trio of Chris Griggs, Rob Jorgensen and Joy Woods. The lead changed several times but in the end, Gary’s team won. In the other match Margaret McLaughlin, Lyn Storrie and Simon Griggs combined to make the night a misery for Jo Griggs, Ross McLaughlin and Steve Nellestein. Two A Grade Pairs matches were contested. In game 1, Dave Brown and Rob Garner put paid to the hopes that the erratic pair, Jamie Woods and Peter Henderson, had of winning the contest. In game 2, Nev Dickinson and Len Feeney had a good win over Damian Morello and Steve Nellestein. Len Feeney, the man with more skin taken off him than a burns victim, played out of his skin to take the match by the scruff of the neck, and be in control, till the end. Sunday social bowls saw the trio of Mick McCloskey, Norm Storrie and Leo Kenny put in a flurry of precision bowls at times to scrape home against the trio of Merv Wilshere, Doug Kiehne and Peter Jorgensen. In game 2, Trevor Elton, Henry Hazel and Alan Garioch were dazzling in their victory over Dave Sheehan, Wayne Coonan, and Doug Robins. In game 3,
Gary Nosworthy, Vince Beitia, and Richard Mau had a python like grip on their contest with Ken Ferguson, Rob Jorgensen and Gary Pearce. Richard’s team slowly, but surely strangled the life out of Gary’s team’s chances of winning the contest. Bowls will be on again next Friday night with names in by 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start and on Sunday with names in by 1:00pm for a 1:30pm start. The following Friday night on the 18th of June, Peto’s Marine will be hosting a night of relaxation, fun and laughter playing lawn bowls. Ladies: Wednesday 2nd June a game of rinks were contested Ann Newton, Lyn Farr, Darelle Pearce and Joy Woods def Kaye Garner, Lyn Storrie, Vanda Ballao and Bev Garioch.

The competition at the Home Hill Golf Club on Wednesday 2nd June saw Beth Prescott, the winner with 34 points on a count-back from Jeanette Camer for a club trophy. Larry Sgroi won the nearest the pin on 9/18, with Megan Barbagallo taking out the chip shot on 3/12. Beth also won the raffle.

The winners for the day were Max Musumeci and Mick Scuderi, with a score of 46 points. Some great scores came in and James Johnson and his partner Paul Krause shot a 44 and were the runners-up on a count back.

Mark Dale and Carol Betteridge were the pin shot winners on 9/18, with Nipper Forno and Fred Morcom taking the ones on 4/13. This Sunday, the club will be playing in Rabobank Day with great prizes up for grabs.

Footy Tips Round 14 Here we are after the first Origin! How did you go? Have a win? Abused by the neighbours for running the wrong flag up the flag pole? Back to the serious stuff, now full rounds for 14 and 15 before we grab the tent, boat and head fishing with a whole bye for round Round 16 starting on Thursday Night, 1st July. But don’t stress there’ still football with the second State of Origin in between on Sunday 27th June at Suncorp Stadium. SEA EAGLES v Cowboys With both teams having a bye this weekend and players backing up from the State of Origin, it is a tough game to pick. High flying Manly on the back of a loss to the Knights two weeks ago sure bought them back to earth in a hurry. The Cowboys had a heart-stopper against the Warriors, where the magic boot of Val Holmes once again kicked us to victory. It’s hard, though, to go against the Sea Eagles at home, where they hold a 16–13 winning
with
Moon Man advantage against the Cowboys. This game is a 50/50 bet waiting to see how both sides start back up after Origin. Narrow WIN to the SEA EAGLES is pure and simple; it’s their home field so they have more to play for. Sharks v PANTHERS A one-way romp if the seven Panthers survive their State of Origin midweek game in beautiful Townsville. Panthers lost their first game of the year but they’re still dangerous premiership favourites. The West Tigers struck gold when they played the Panthers reserve grade side last week, but the Sharks don’t get that chance. Against the Panthers filled with superstars all over the paddock, the Sharks will struggle to compete. Panthers riding high at the top of the table will be too tough for the hapless Sharks.With Cleary and Luai back in the team, it will be a walk in the park for the Panthers! PANTHERS to WIN and win easy. Titans v ROOSTERS With the Titans only just going
Carnes’ Call Carnage with
A dominant display by the Roosters halves Riley Horan and Joel Mason with under 19 fullback Declan Dowson chiming in paved the way for the Chris Perry trained Roosters to finish on top of Western Lions 32 – 18 at Rugby Park last Saturday. Played before a crowd of 100 Old Boys, the Roosters were dominant for practically the whole of the match except for a short period in the second half when the visiting Lions appeared to be making a stand. Riley Horan and Joel Mason were outstanding in the halves, completely dominating their opposite numbers. Horan scored a good try right in front of the bar, with the Old Boys appreciating the effort. He was awarded the players player for his efforts.
Promoted last week to A-Grade against Brothers fullback Dowson gained the man of the match award. He would have done so again had it not been for Horan, Mason and forward leader Dan Beazley. Beazley is the tonic the Roosters have been looking for with the Fijians stranded as he leads by example and the other forwards follow him. Riley Granshaw and Tate Brombal played another match with passion while Kali Nauque played at lock, and a few Lions were going home with sore ribs from Kalis defence. The Forwards have been screaming out for a big man, and with Blake Hollywood, their prayers have been answered. Hollywood may be short of a gallop, but his size and weight are

The Burdekin Panthers played Estates, Saints Eagles Souths and Mundingburra Aitkenvale Olympics across the various grades. The Austral Masonry Funkies got the weekend underway at home on Friday night to bottom team Saints Eagles Souths Red. Another slow start saw Burdekin go behind after just four minutes as SES took advantage of a poor clearance in the Burdekin goal box to take the lead. Burdekin struck back quickly with a goal to Zac Park in the 7th minute and took the lead a minute later when Nick Di Marzio scored. Tarryn Smith added a third ten minutes later. This saw the Burdekin going into the halftime break with a 3-1 lead. Burdekin scored at regular intervals in the second half, with Zac Park, Chris Achille, and Sam Nucifora scoring a goal. Tarryn Smith chalked up another two goals to complete his hat-trick. The Funkies were running out

convincing 8-1 winners by full time. Tomorrow night they are away against the Warriors. The CA Contracting Reserve Grade Ladies were away on Friday night to 3rd placed Estates. The Burdekin ladies got off to a flyer when Loz Barra scored in the 8th minute. Barra then increased the lead with her second goal in the 22nd minute. More was to come before halftime when Reid put the Burdekin 3-0 up with a goal in the 38th minute. Burdekin went into halftime, leading 3-0. The second half was an even affair, with Estates pulling one back in the 70th minute. This saw the Burdekin tighten up their game, and they held on to run out winners 3-1. The win now sees the CA Contracting Reserve Ladies move into 3rd place on the ladder. This weekend they take on the top team, Brothers, at home on Friday night. The Kalamia Hotel Premier
down to the depleted Storm side, you might think they’re a chance to role the Rooster. But sorry, that’s where the luck runs out; the Titans played a ravaged Storm team and could rarely break the depleted Storm defence. It’s hard to see how they will back up against an almost full Roosters team on the back of a week’s rest. It could be another 50/50 dependent on the SOO stars returning unscathed from their Wednesday night outing in Townsville. But with the Roosters perched top of the table in the 5th spot and the Titans floundering near the bottom in the 12th spot with only five wins to the Roosters 8, they could be a little too strong for them. The Rooster has a strong record against the Titans, winning all the last four games; I think the Titans will struggle to hold the attacking brilliance of the Roosters. ROOSTERS to WIN but not by much if the Titans turn up but only because both teams get a few stars back. RABBITOHS v Knights Here we go, another walk in the park for a top 5 team against a team struggling to stay in touch, especially after the flogging they got from Parramatta Eels last week. The Knights have crashed down
the ladder finishing up in 14th spot. With the Rabbits getting all big money this week, the punters are really talking up and fresh from a week off and seeing the return of few players back from injury and playing at home will be an easy win across every facet of the game for the Rabbitohs. No way the Knights will get within 30 points of the Rabbitohs - RABBITS to win and to win easy. RAIDERS v Broncos On the back of another flogging, it’s hard to see any hope for the ailing Broncos ever getting off the bottom of the table. In fact, if it weren’t for the Dogs, Broncos would be Wooden Spoon favourites. The Bulldogs could string a few wins together, then Kevie and Broncos would certainly go back to the back wooden spoon. We all know the Raiders have their demons at the moment, but after a weeks rest and only one player backing up from the SOO, I think the Raiders will be too strong. Also, playing at home, it’s hard to see the Broncos getting close to Ricky’s Raiders. This will be a real tough battle in the opening minutes, but I expect the RAIDERS to WIN on the back of home ground advantage as well as getting key person-
nel back in from injury. Warriors v STORM It is hard to see the Warriors, even after a week’s rest and coming up against a red hot Storm who are blessed with talent right across the park, even has a chance. I have never seen a club that keeps giving when it comes to superstars missing due to Rep Game, Injuries or Suspension. Bellamy has a special touch in developing ordinary players and fringe players into representative superstar players. With the Storm expecting some of their big guns back after Origin, I can’t see anything but misery for Nathan Brown and his boys. With the Storm winning the last five games over the Warriors, it’s going to be a long hard night. STORM to WIN easy. EELS v West Tigers With both teams having great wins last week, Tigers over the undefeated Panthers and the Eels over the Knights at home celebrating old boys day. Looking to be possibly the match of the round with both Western City Clubs going head to head. Even with the Eels holding the winning hand in the Stats department with five consecutive wins over the Tigers, it is hard to see the
Tigers getting up. Eels are currently sitting in the 3rd spot with ten wins while the Tiger languish near the bottom in 11th with only five wins, two being in the last two rounds. It will be challenging for the Tigers to overcome a full-strength Eels at home and with their huge pack and skilful backs. EELS to WIN. Bulldogs v DRAGONS First Monday game for the year and possibly not the spectacle the league would hope for; the hapless Bulldogs playing the up and down Dragons. The question is, were the Dragons red hot last week in beating the Broncos by 50 points or were the Broncos terrible poor? Maybe with the Bulldogs having a week off, Trent Barret might have weaved some magic and found the tooth fairy, and she has blessed them with some talent?? If only, I’m sorry, I really can’t see the Bulldogs beating the Dragons, especially on last weeks performance DRAGONS to win and win easy – the million-dollar question is? Will they get another 50 points on the back of Hunt, Norman and the current superstar speedster Matt Dufty Show.
a great advantage. Kurt Perry and Jerome Lacco were above their opposite numbers, and both scored tries when their team needed them. Dylan Doak has shown promise now for some time, and this week he delivered along with Caleb Noah, Dylan Carew and Zac Heron, Doak scoring two good tries. Whenever he plays, he scores a try, and this game was no exception, with Jared Thorley crossing for a beauty. Perry was a happy man after the game, saying his team delivered what he asked for. “I asked them to dig deep in front of their loyal supporters, and they did just that ... I couldn’t be more pleased,” Perry said. Dylan Doak scored two tries with one each to Jerome Lacco, Jared Thorley, Riley Horan and Kurt Perry; Joel Mason kicked four goals. In other A-Grade matches, Brothers beat Herbert River in
Ingham by 22 – 6, with Centrals downing Charters Towers in the Towers by 26 – 12. Reserves coach Ben Smith says he has too many chiefs and not enough Indians out on the paddock. Smith said his team worked towards scoring a try but fell at the last hurdle with nobody putting their hand up to score. He said that they completed one set of six in the second half, and you can’t win games by dropping balls. Smith said they work well and then do something silly when it looks like the try is coming up. The coach added Lochlan Winston tried hard all day, as did Tyrone Sims. Peter Fotinos scored the try in the 20 - 4 loss, with the Lions leading 10 – 4 at halftime. In other Reserve grade matches, Herbert River defeat Brothers 28 – 16 and Centrals were too good for Charters Towers 58 – 16. In a fiery under 19s game which
saw three players, two from Western Lions and one from Burdekin, sent off; the young Roosters came from behind to win the game 24 – 16. The Lions went out full of running and soon had points on the board to lead 12 nil with three unconverted tries before the Roosters scored through a brilliant try by fullback Ethane Hill. Hill showed a clean pair of heels plus a good step to be a danger all day. At halftime, Lions lead by 16 – 6. The second half was all Roosters as they scored three more unanswered tries to none by the opposition. The Lions helped the locals by the two send-offs to one, with the young Roosters taking advantage of the overlap. Co-coach Jason Williams said his team started to slow and will have to address that. Apart from Ethane Hill, who was practically unstoppable, Brett Stephenson and Braden Cotter
had good games for the locals. For the Roosters, Ethane Hill, Noah Kepper, Jaidyn Thomasson and Jack O Keefe scored tries, with Ethane Hill kicking four goals. In other Under 19s games Brothers remain undefeated winning 58 – 10 over Herbert River while Centrals beat Towers 22 – 8. Hens coach Frank Beer said his team has to do some soul searching in defence after they were beaten 22 nil by top side Western Lions. The game was cut short by a few minutes, with Hens player Shakyra Carr receiving what looked like a serious injury. Thankfully everything was OK, and she is back at training. Beer said his forwards did not face up, except mainly Shakira and Indee Everett they were found missing. It was pleasing to see Shay Kratzmann having a go and mixing it with the bigger Lionesses.
League Ladies were also away at Victoria Park playing Estates. They conceded a goal in the first half and went to the halftime break 1-0 down. They gathered themselves for the second half and thanks to Bianca Pontarelli, who equalised early in the second half. The game was evenly contested until Estates scored to give them a 2-1 lead, which they held through to the final whistle. Tomorrow night, the Kalamia Hotel Ladies are at home and take Brothers, who are undefeated through 7 rounds and are sitting at the top of the ladder. Saturday saw our Junior sides in action against Brothers and Mundingburra Aitkenvale Olympic. The Under 12s had a tough game and went down to Brothers 7-0. The Under 14/15 team took MAO apart 5-0. Sebastian Mio and Alec Contzonis scored two each, and Lucas Goodman picked up the other. The win keeps them in the first three on the ladder. This weekend the Under 12’s play Rebels, and the 14/15s take on another MAO team. The Fabbro Diesel Services 2nd Division Team moved into second
place with an 8-0 domination of Estates. The team started very well when Jack Shears gave Burdekin the lead in the 4th minute. Chris Achille, Jack Gimson and Damien Casella scored before halftime for Burdekin to lead 4-0 at the break. Lucas Sunderland and Duane Huynh both scored incredible goals from near the sideline after halftime to give the boys a 6-0 lead before Ben Ruskin and Travis Butler got late goals and finished off the 8-0 win. This Saturday, they take on 3rd placed Brothers in the 3 pm game at home. The Burdekin Tyre Service Reserve Grade team took on 4th placed Ross River JCU. The Panthers dominated the first half and rewarded their efforts in the 36th minute when Licciardello was fouled in the penalty area resulting in a penalty. Castiglione converted from the spot to give the Panthers a well deserved 1-0 lead at halftime. Ross River JCU came out of the blocks early in the second half and equalised in the 51st minute. Ross River JCU then had a player sent off soon after they scored and were reduced to 10 men. But the
situation got worse for the locals when the visitors increased their lead in the 68th minute when they scored directly from a corner kick. Try as they did, the Burdekin conceded the 3rd goal right on full time to eventually go down 3-1. This Saturday evening, they take on Warriors at 5 pm at International Park. Kalamia Hotel Premier League Men’s team finished the weekend’s games when they took on Estates. The Burdekin completely dominated the first 20 minutes, and if it wasn’t for the woodwork or some very good saves by the Estates keeper, the scoreline could have been very lopsided. Burdekin scored first when Jeremy Dal Santo hit one from outside the box and finally beat the keeper. Estates were reduced to 10 men, with a player sent off for a deliberate foul on Elliot Dal Santo. Nick Ede scored from the resulting free-kick to give the home team a 2-0 lead at the break. The second half saw the Burdekin enforce their domination and attack on the Estates goal. Grasso was next to score to put the Burdekin ahead 3-0 in the
63rd minute. Kyle Taylor added to Estates’ woes when he scored soon after to make the final scoreline 4-0. This weekend the Burdekin begin the second round when they host 2nd placed Warriors.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK The quote for this week comes from an old favourite, David Beckham. In an interview he was asked if he was “volatile”; he replied… Well, I can play in the center, on the right and occasionally on the left side.” I think he got ‘versatile’ and “volatile” mixed up or he has a hearing problem!”

IT’S not often a former world champion gives you tips on how to prepare for battle. But that’s exactly what happened for a group of young boxing fanatics and committed community members when Jeff Horn came to town last week. The man who bested Pacquiao, Zerafa and Bailey may have been in Ayr to kickstart the launch of a local anti-bullying program, but he gave plenty of time to the Burdekin PCYC’s young boxing students, helping them with tips on weightcutting, diet and nutrition. “It’s great to be able to be here and to be able to talk to young boxers like that, other people, they look like great, fit kids and I feel like they need that information early to get better,” Horn said. “We don’t want to see anyone stunting their growth, so I think it’s important to try

JEFF HORN ENLISTS LOCALS FOR ANTIBULLYING PROGRAM and share that information that’s going to help people.” Aside from boxing tips, and handing out plenty of signatures, Horn was also providing information in the battle against bullying, hoping to lead the fight against the scourge that drove him to first take up the gloves. “It’s the most important time of their lives to get this kind of information,” Horn said. “It’s good to have this many people interested in the program, it’s obviously making waves, which it should, we’re really the only program that is doing this sort of thing, getting in front of the kids and training them with the resilience and confidence that they need.” The visit was made possible thanks to the generosity and community spirit of eight local businesses, with the group banding together to raise $24,000 to bring the program to life.
burdekinlocal.com.au
David Cox of Davco Farming was one of the key minds who made it happen, and was joined by Robert Oar from Rural Quip, Lew Brandon from Brandon BMS, Jason Guy from Burdekin Tyres, Peter Carcary from Honeycombes, Gary Furlong from Furlongs, George Populin from Populin Builders and Richard Bonato from Razer electrical. All of the businesses donated $3,000 towards the goal, with the hope of ensuring bullying is eradicated from the Burdekin. To that end, Horn said the fast-growing Martial Arts and combat sports community in North Queensland would be one of the biggest assets being leveraged by the AMAYDA team. “We need the locals to get involved with the program, to be the ones who are going to implement it, we’ve got trainers to come train the people who’ll do the
program,” Horn said. “Martial artists, boxers, they’ve got all the basics that we revolve the program around anyway in self defence and in school and we work with that for the kids.” The program, and the Jeff Horn Community Hub in the Burdekin that will launch alongside it will cater to 100 local children over the first year of it’s operation and will be administered by Youth Development Mentor Tracey Booth. It’ll run out of the Burdekin PCYC, where the children participating will learn about self defence, negotiation and ways to boost their confidence while role playing through different scenarios.

SATURDAY’S home game against Charters Towers might just seem like any other round in the Townsville and District Rugby League competition, but it’ll come with a special bit of significance for father-son, player-coach duo Chris and Kurt Perry. Kurt, a live-wire out on the wing and a former junior Cowboy, will play what will likely be his last game for some time for the Burdekin Roosters first grade side this weekend. “It’s been great to play in the Burdekin jersey again, even if it was only for a handful of games,” Kurt said ahead of his departure from the side. “There’s a lot of young talent getting around and I’m grateful to get that opportunity to play alongside them.” The younger Perry will be moving to Canberra soon at the behest of his partner for work, and while he’s already lined up a side to continue playing with, he’s not ruling out eventually pulling back on the hometown jersey. “I’m definitely going to miss running around with the boys but this won’t be the last time you see me in Roosters colours,” Kurt said. “I’m very excited for the move and have already lined up a football team down in Canberra with the Gunghalin Bulls, just not sure how I’m going to go running around in minus temperatures.” “It may be a little bit different to playing footy up here.” The Bulls, who play as one of the nine sides in the

Kurt’s father and coach Chris Perry said it would be a definite blow in losing Kurt, but said he had the whole club backing him. “Kurt loves his league, it does make it a little harder on the family, but he’s a fantastic kid and he’s done really well with his league,” Chris said. “It’s always hard when you lose a player like that, he’s very talented and he gives a lot to the team. “He’s one of those guys who helps everyone out , he’s a very good talker and a strong leader as well.” The Roosters next take on Charters Towers at home, on Saturday, June 12, with the games starting from 1.45pm and the first grade fixture kicking off at 6pm.
