Woolworths coming to Gordonvale After a long drawn out battle the decision to bring Woolworths to Gordonvale has finally been decided with construction of the 3200 square metre shopping complex expected to commence soon. The Mulgrave News first reported on the issue in January 2011 and, after a long drawn out battle between the shopping giant, Cairns Regional Council and the Mulgrave Chamber of Commerce, the decision by the Planning and Environment Court has finally given Woolworths the green light to proceed with an application. The construction will be at the intersection of Draper Road and the Bruce highway on the Western side of the highway. This has disappointed many Gordonvale traders and the chamber of commerce as they feel it will be detrimental to trade in the town centre and take business from the town centre. Residents of the town have been divided over the construction with many residents on the western side of the highway in favour of the centre. The closest shopping complex to date is Mt Sheridan Plaza. The centre has promised to bring many construction jobs to the town and

You can also send this link to your family and friends as Entertainment books are also available for most capital cities in Australia and New Zealand, hosting restaurants and activities specific to that region. Books can be purchased on line by accessing the link below. If customers would prefer to pay cash, they can do so with the correct money at the tuckshop and pick up the book at the school office. Thank you for your help and support. - Julie Amadio, P&C President www.entertainmentbook.com.au/orderbooks/27038w4
up to 200 full time and part time jobs when the centre is functioning. During an initial meeting Woolworths assured the chamber they would only complement the majority of the existing businesses and create jobs for local residents once opened and during the construction phase. Woolworths are currently advertising for expressions of interest in relation to leasing opportunities on their website: woolworthsshoppingcentres.com.au. Included in this expression of interest are 8-10 specialty shops including Medical, Liquor, Fast Food, Bank, Fashion, Cafe and Hairdresser.

The Joy of Understanding Local Business Guide
Leonardo da Vinci was famous for his paintings and drawings. He painted ‘The Last Supper’ in the 1490’s and ‘Mona Lisa’ in the first decade of the 1500’s. However da Vinci also studied the sciences during this time and was employed as an engineer who designed bridges and flying machines. As the national curriculum is implemented across Queensland schools, there can be a tendency for governments, educators and parents to focus more on subjects such as Mathematics, English and Science. However, da Vinci’s brilliance is possibly due to the balance between science & art and logic &imagination. Perhaps subjects such as music, art, languages and physical education are more than just pleasurable past times but can help develop our brain to improve our understanding of the world. “The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding”. - Leonardo da Vinci

Testimonial - Robyn’s Bowen Therapy “In general I am an active person, get plenty of sleep and eat well. But I do suffer from two things: poor digestion and pain in either my back, shoulder of hip; sometimes in all three areas. While I do not live in Gordonvale, I look forward to visiting and the opportunity to get a treatment from Robyn. Robyn's mixture of Emmett Technique and Bowen Therapy immediately relaxes me, and over the next few hours the pain eases and my energy level increases. The treatments have also helped my digestion and relieved my stomach aches. Robyn is passionate about relieving people’s pain and her caring gentle manner just adds to the experience. I’ll be visiting Gordonvale again in October so I have already made an appointment to see Robyn. While I'm not in pain now, I just want to keep on top of things.” Gay Marsden Kingscliff, NSW.

Pyramid Power Premiers Classic Beauty and Spa In a landmark day for Australian Rules football in Gordonvale, the local Pyramid Power Junior AFL Club won, not one but two premierships on the weekend.
After having steered both their Under 14 and Under 16 teams into the respective Grand Finals, the teams took to the field last Sunday to compete for the greatest prizes on offer for those age groups. The Under 14’s were the first to savour success when they defeated their rivals, Cairns Saints, by 14 points. The finals score saw Power 9 14 58 defeat Saints 8 6 54. Local boy, Lachlan Smith, won the John Hollander Medal for best on ground in a Grand Final. Soon afterwards, the Under 16 team took on the North Cairns Tigers. To the sound of the grandstands at Cazalys Stadium rocking, the Power boys defied their underdog status to win the club’s second premiership of the day. Final score saw Power 9 17 71 defeat Tigers 7 8 50. Djarragun College student, Jordan Toikalkin won the Bob Shaw Medal for best afield in a Grand Final. Earlier in the day the club’s younger age groups got into the spirit of Grand Final day with a roster of games to see out their own special year. Pyramid Power now proudly boasts 3 Premiership Cups and flags now, having added to their previous success in 2010 with the victorious Under 14 team. This club which comprises players from Gordonvale, Yarrabah, Djarragun College, Aloomba, Babinda, southern Cairns suburbs and more has now become a powerhouse of AFL football in the south, if not the entire region.
Gordonvale skate park closed for upgrade Cairns Regional Council advises that the Gordonvale skate park is closed to allow for upgrade works to take place. New ramps are being installed and the area is fenced off. For safety reasons, park users are not to enter the construction zone. The new park is expected to be complete in early September, weather permitting.

Gordonvale resident turns 100 years of age
(Information supplied by Mulgrave Settlers Museum) Mrs Rita (Margherita) Poglio (nee Ghidella) turns 100 years of age on September 7th 2013 and this is an excerpt of her life so far. The complete story will soon be available in bulletin form at the Mulgrave Settlers Museum. Rita was born in Ayr in 1913 and lived in a cane barracks with her parents, two uncles, 5 brothers and one sister. Her father had a job cane cutting in Ayr for local farmers for a few months. It wasn’t long before he heard news that land was being developed up north and a new mill (Babinda) was being built. So at the end of the cane cutting season of 1913, her father took the family by boat up to Cairns, where he purchased land at Mirriwinni. The family boarded a wagon train in Cairns, loaded with iron and timber to build a dwelling on their newly acclaimed piece of land. It was raining so heavily at the time, that the train driver left the wagon for them to live in, until they could build a hut. Their dirt floor hut was very basic and apart from the supplies they had brought, they made good use of the scrub timbers around them for the rafters. They had no electricity or running water. Rita’s mum had a wood stove and would cook and wash and clean for 4 men and at that stage 3 children, make her own bread and hand sew all Rita’s dresses, hats and do all the mending. Rita says she was a mighty woman. Rita’s mum also had her own remedies for different ailments. If Rita had a sore throat or a cough, her mother would take her socks off and put the socks around Rita’s neck. Rita remembers the stinking socks and says it seemed to fix the problem. After a few years they sold the farm they were on and bought a farm at Bucklands Road near Bramston Beach. Her father had just built a new cane barracks for the cane cutters and the 1918 cyclone blew it away. The family stayed another year and then decided to go back to Italy as Rita’s father was very disheartened after the cyclone, as they had lost everything. Rita was 7 and spent the next two years in Italy learning to read and write Italian. Her father then had a falling out with his two brothers and decided to return to Australia with his family. Rita was then 9 and went to Mirriwinni School and remarkably, could not remember a word of English.
Robyn’s Real Estate Read Welcome to this month's update on all things Real Estate. Are we there yet? I think that the market is turning based on the huge number of enquiries, multiple offers and contracts coming through my desk for all types of properties from units, to land, large acreages and family homes over the past 3 weeks. The buyers are also from all walks of life including people relocating to the area with their families, retirees, first home buyers and local families wanting to buy something for their retirement down the track and utilise the property as an investment in the short term. There is definitely an up beat feel around the region with the announcement of the multi billion dollar Aquis Development proposal and with the Elections likely to change the political landscape for the region, whoever gets voted in, we may be out of the doldrums sooner rather than later.

During the WW1 in 1918, all Italian men were required to front up at the police station to be placed in internment camps. The police would ask Rita’s mum “How to do you say in Italian come out?” But she would trick the policemen and say ‘don’t come out’ in Italian. Rita met her husband Ermenegildo on the bus that went from Mirriwinni to Babinda. They married on 12th February 1930 in Cairns and moved out on their own farm at Charinga south of Aloomba. They had 5 children, 4 girls and one boy. They lived in Moller Street for 7 years, and then got that house rented and moved out to Packers Camp on the corner of Redbank Road. Rita lived there for 25 years and after her husband died, she moved back to Moller Street. Rita still enjoys crocheting, knitting, bingo and the odd cent sale, is a member the Italian Club and still lives in happily in her own home. She has 19 Grandchildren, 30 Great Grandchildren and 6 Great Great Grandchildren.
