GET JABBED, SAYS LEGEND

Australian tennis royalty Evonne Goolagong Cawley has encouraged Cape York residents to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated against COVID-19. The champ was in Weipa on Saturday for the opening of the new sports centre. Full story and pictures – Page 9

Closure concerns

The federal government says it would likely allow Cape York and Torres Strait communities to be closed off to the outside world if local vaccination rates don’t increase. As the nation strives for an 80 per cent uptake before opening up, there are concerns that lower vaccination rates in our Indigenous communities could leave vulnerable residents exposed.

Huge police presence in Cape to revisit cold case By MATT NICHOLLS

AROUND 20 police officers and 30 SES personnel descended on the Archer River Roadhouse on the weekend as part of a cold case investigation. They were there to conduct a secondary search for missing woman Allison Bernard, who was last seen alive in February 2013. That night, she left the pub in Coen with a man and went to the Archer River quarry. She has not been seen since.

The 23-year-old mother was on her way back to Kowanyama. In January this year, calls for an inquest were finally agreed to by the coroner, who set the date for June. However, Queensland Police made an eleventh hour bid to do more investigating, suggesting that perhaps the initial investigation was not as thorough as it should have been. Cape York Weekly contacted police on Monday but the Cairns media unit was tight-lipped. Senior Constable Heidi

Marek said she could not provide any comment until cleared by the Detective Sergeant in charge of the investigation. It is understand that around 20 police officers arrived from Cairns on Thursday and teamed up with SES members from both Cairns and Cape York, including the Weipa unit. They stayed at the Archer River Roadhouse from Thursday night until Monday morning. Anyone with information about the case should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The police vehicles were put through their paces on the Old Telegraph Track.

Did they go hard or did they take the chicken tracks?

Police show up on remote Cape track FOUR-WHEEL drivers on the Old Telegraph Track received a shock when a convoy of police popped up for a visit. Officers from Weipa, Cairns Tactical Crime Squad and Cairns and Cooktown Road Policing Units embarked on a three-day traffic operation along the track. There were some surprised motorists when they discovered the police presence.

The operation targeted drink and drug drivers, illegal vehicle modifications, unregistered and uninsured vehicles, as well as antisocial behaviour involving buggies, ATVs and motorbikes. Police said they were pleased with the conduct of most motorists. Around 100 breath tests were conducted and just a few tickets were issued. A 22-year-old Stratford man

was charged after he allegedly returned a reading of 0.07 per cent BAC and is expected to appear in the Weipa Magistrates Court on October 12. A 51-year-old Umagico man was issued with two traffic infringement notices after being intercepted driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. He received two tickets totalling $992.

While the Old Telegraph Track is only 350km long, the officers clocked up around 800km by the time they returned to Weipa station. The Weipa division is part of the Cape Patrol Group which comprises the Aurukun, Coen, Kowanyama, Lockhart River, Pormpuraaw and Weipa police divisions and covers 99,491 square kilometres.

TWO moronic tourists nearly lost their lives in Cape York last week and cost taxpayers thousands of dollars with a rescue that ended up being cancelled. The tourists, from Brisbane, launched their boat near Mapoon on Friday and clearly underestimated the wind conditions on the western Cape. In a flash, it all went wrong and they were in the water, with

the boat sinking fast. They were able to dial triple-zero and call for assistance, but managed to swim safely to the shore. But that didn’t stop a rescue from being undertaken. The Thursday Island Water Police summoned VMR Weipa for assistance, as well as Rescue 700, a helicopter based in the Torres Strait. The Challenger jet from

Cairns was also sent to try and locate the men. “We lost contact with them and we didn’t know if they were adrift or in the water,” Senior Constable Neale Whalley said. “The rescue helicopter arrived on scene just as we heard the two people had made it safely to the shore.” A police vehicle from Weipa drove up to the site, believed to

be around the Janie Creek area at Mapoon, and were flagged down by the two stranded men. “They obviously didn’t have time to get to their lifejackets, which just goes to show that you need to have them within arm’s reach at any moment,” Senior Constable Whalley said. “Having an EPIRB and activating it in an emergency is also really helpful.”

Partnership helps bring CT scanner to Cape York AFTER a false start as a result of lockdowns, the rescheduled official opening of Weipa’s CT scanner was held last week. The CT scanner project, which was announced last year, was funded by a $1.15 million partnership between Rio Tinto and Old Mapoon Aboriginal Corporation, together with a $1.35 million contribution from the state government. Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service chief executive, Bev Hamerton said the opening of the CT scanner service was a major milestone for the Weipa Hospital. “The new CT scanner means

between 40 and 50 patients a month from Weipa and the wider Western Cape region will no longer need to travel out of the region for clinical investigation,” she said. “To date, 84 patients already have been able to have a scan at Weipa instead of having to travel away. “With the scanner on site, Weipa doctors and visiting specialists can perform more services here in Weipa. “This will allow the continued delivery of high-quality health care within the Western Cape region and faster access to potentially lifesaving scans for

cancer, stroke and other medical conditions.” Rio Tinto’s Michelle Elvy said the company was proud to be a part of the pioneering partnership. “This project has been a true reflection of the value of partnerships and the importance of continuing to work together for sustainable community outcomes,” she said. “Our priority is the safety and wellbeing of the people and communities in which we live and operate, and it is fantastic to see all parties working together to provide more accessible and sustainable health services.”

Old Mapoon Aboriginal Corporation chair William Busch said the delivery of the new CT scanner services would be a great benefit for all the communities around the Western Cape. “I know of people that just don’t want to go to Cairns when they should to have scans and other services. It will be great to see better access to necessary services up here.” Ms Hamerton said the introduction of a CT scanning service at Weipa would help attract and retain staff. She said a full-time radiographer was being recruited to support the new service.

Council’s initiative aimed Cooktown welcomed at easing housing burden to the fold By MATT NICHOLLS

COOKTOWN’S housing crisis could be alleviated somewhat with a new subdivision that council hopes will draw investment to the community. Cook Shire mayor Peter Scott said a parcel of land off Boundary Street, in between Garden and Power streets, was being worked on to get it ready for a subdivision. “There is a terrible lack of rental accommodation in town at the moment and this is something we have identified to see if we can do something about it,” he said. “We’ve been talking to super funds and investment companies about the prospect of investing money into the blocks and building them for rent.” Queensland Health is one of the biggest employers in Cooktown and Cook Shire councillors don’t want to see houses built or bought by them as the state government doesn’t pay rates. “Everything is pointing to a major redevelopment of the Cooktown Hospital in the next five years and that means we could be seeing an additional 20-30 staff based here,” Cr Scott said. “That’s our pitch to these developers – build houses for the rental

market because there is a high demand. The Queensland government is more interested in renting houses than buying them.” In the meantime, the council is preparing the land to make it easier and quicker for potential builders, providing access to water and sewerage at the site, which is just two blocks from the hospital. Cook Shire is also building access roads and streets in preparation for a subdivision.

Cr Scott said there could be as many as 30 plots to build on, but predicted the number of residences to be slightly less than that. “It would be up to the developer as to how they want to configure the land and package it up,” the mayor said. “Everything will still need to meet council planning laws and state regulations.” While Cooktown’s rental market has been stretched for several

years, Cr Scott said the pandemic had applied even more pressure. “What we’ve seen is that a lot of people who had investment properties here haved moved back and are living in them now, plus a lot of properties that were being rented were sold and are now owneroccupied,” he said. “The positive for Cooktown is that people enjoy living here and want to live here, but there’s just not a lot of options at the moment.”

WELCOME to our newest readers in Cooktown, Lakeland and the southern Cape. Cape York Weekly has officially expanded into your part of the region due to growing demand. “We started this paper one year ago out of Weipa and it was a small publication that focused mostly on the western Cape,” said editor and publisher Matt Nicholls. “Following the closure of the Cape & Torres News, we introduced a liftout called Strait Talkin’ and expanded our circulation into the NPA and Torres Strait. “The addition of Cooktown and Lakeland, as well as Mt Carbine and Mt Molloy, makes us a genuine regional newspaper that covers the entire Peninsula.” Mr Nicholls said the paper would naturally evolve over the coming weeks and months. “We know we are a regional newspaper and we want to cover stories in all corners of the Cape, but we also want to make it feel like a local paper for our readers,” he said. “That’s why we need you to let us know about what’s happening in your community and be on the lookout for stories because we are now covering a huge patch.” Email editor@capeyorkweekly. com.au or call 0477 450 558.

Bus a game changer for the bush By MARK KNOWLES

CAPE York residents now have unprecedented access to specialist medical care and diagnostics via a new mobile health clinic operated by Heart of Australia. Its new truck, “HEART 4” will see specialists from all over the country unite to give residents in Cooktown and the southern Cape access to cardiology, sonography, cardiac monitoring, sleep diagnostics and respiratory services. Planning is also underway for Palm Island and Weipa residents to access similar facilities via static clinics. Construction of the new $2.5 million mobile clinic in Brisbane started in late 2019 following a $12 million three-year federal Government funding commitment announced in Mackay in 2019. Cardiologist and founder of Heart of Australia Dr Rolf Gomes said HEART 4’s first visit to Cooktown was a resounding success. “The clinic was fully booked; I don’t think we would have been able to see any more patients than we did at the time,” he said. “A lot of passers-by were enquiring about what the service delivered and how they would access the service.” The wheelchair accessible mobile clinic has two consulting rooms, two tech rooms, a full kitchen, AV systems with screens and projectors, a reception area,

full air conditioning and toilet facilities. Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch said it was a great service that brought city facilities to the bush. “The people of Cooktown are really lucky to get access to these services and we’re hoping the truck will get up to Weipa at some stage,” the MP said.

“It does require a referral from a doctor, usually a GP, so it would be up to the Weipa-based GP to make those referrals. “As far as the federal government is concerned, this has been a great investment that is delivering really good health outcomes across regional Queensland and we’re proud to be a part of it.” There is more than $1 million

worth of medical and IT equipment on board the truck, which is driven by a DAF XF 530 prime mover and can be self-powered for up to 10 days using diesel, batteries and solar panels. Heart of Australia provides specialist medical services including cardiology and respiratory medicine, so patients will need a referral from their GP to make an

appointment. Once a GP referral letter is obtained patients can call 3162 5310 or email reception@ heartofaustralia.com to make a booking. When attending their appointments patients should bring their GP referral letter, a list of medications they are taking, any recent radiology scans and their other specialist or doctor’s contact details.

MESSAGE from the MAYOR

Council turns up the heat at the pool

Works to install a heating system at the popular Cooktown Swimming Pool are now complete, and community members, hydrotherapy patients and swim fans are diving right in to enjoy the warmer waters with the swimming pool seeing an increase in visitor numbers since the system was installed. With $90,000 in funding from the Queensland Government’s COVID Works for Queensland program, the project also included installation of 20kW solar panels to offset the energy required to heat the pool; potentially offsetting more than 70% of the venues total electricity costs.

We have been receiving many positive comments about Cooktown and the Shire, and I acknowledge the pride shown by Council staff and the community in delivering the wonderful events and works programs that showcase our beautiful place.

“The installation of the solar panels is a positive step towards managing Council’s rising operational costs, but the real winners here are the community who have wanted this for a long time,” said Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott.

There have been great improvements and sealing of roads in the urban area, up the valleys and out in our regional areas. The upgraded entrance to Charlotte Street and the condition of the Waterfront and the Botanical Gardens has prompted many compliments about the tidiness and amenity of Cooktown. The Indigenous community and our neighbouring councils continue to contribute to fabulous Expo Legacy projects like the Gamaay Dreaming Track, the Walambaal Biri Cultural Centre, Reconciliation Rocks and the Gateway to Cape York project at Lakeland. We are all anticipating the completion of our beloved Shire Hall and the children’s playground at Lion’s Park. Thanks to all those who have chosen to keep their community safer through the COVID vaccination program – we are still COVID free on the Cape and it’s the best place to live and visit.

More vax clinics added to rollout RESIDENTS in Cape York and the Torres Strait will get additional opportunities to get vaccinated against COVID-19 with 23 new Pfizer clinics added to the region’s rollout. After completing at least two clinics in all Torres Strait Island communities by the end of July, and the Northern Peninsula Area by the end of August, the rollout now continues across Cape York. Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service chief executive Bev Hamerton said that, with the addition of the new catch-up clinics, every community in the region would get a minimum of three visits from a COVID-19 vaccination clinic by mid-November. “Our vaccination teams have been working hard visiting regional and remote communities up and down the Cape, often travelling hundreds of kilometres between clinics,” she said. “In fact, by the mid-November timeline some communities will have received even more than three visits. “We’ll have run seven clinics on Thursday Island of various lengths ranging from as short as one day through to two weeks at a time. “We’ll also have visited some of the smaller Torres Strait island communities four times including Badu, Yorke, Iama (Yam), Warraber, St Pauls (Moa Island), Kubin (Moa Island). “If you still need to get vacci-

nated it’s easier than ever. It’s best if you make a booking first, but if you just walk in we’ll always do our best to accommodate you.” COOKTOWN VISIT THE Cooktown Events Centre will act as a vaccine hub, starting later this month.

“I’d like to take a moment to remind people in Cooktown that we’ll be visiting from September 27 through until October 8 to issue the first dose to anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated yet,” the CEO said last week. “We’ll be back again later in

October to issue second doses to anyone who came in during our first visit. “Finally we’ll be doing catchup clinics from November 15 to 18 for anyone who misses out on our second visit. “There are plenty of bookings available so call now or talk to the local health service in Cooktown to get your appointment locked in. “The dates, times and address of the Cooktown clinics, and all of our other planned clinics in Torres and the Cape are available on our website. “If we’ve been to your community already and you missed out on your first or second dose don’t worry, there’s still things you can do. “First, check the rollout schedule on the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service website.

“If there is another clinic planned for your community you can book an appointment by calling (07) 3497 3442.” Vaccination rates across the region are progressing at various speeds. In the Northern Peninsula area 54 per cent of the eligible population have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination with 33 per cent fully vaccinated. In the Torres Strait, 69 per cent of the eligible population have received their first dose, and 51 per cent of people are fully vaccinated. Cape York has seen 44 per cent of the eligible population receive their first dose, with 12 per cent fully vaccinated. However, these numbers are expected to increase dramatically following the upcoming planned clinics for the region.

NEWS IN BRIEF Busy week for police

A biosecurity bubble was enforced in Cape York last year but only individual communities will be closed off if vaccination rates remain low.

Low vax rates could see biosecurity zones return By MATT NICHOLLS

INDIVIDUAL Cape York and Torres Strait communities could be shut down to protect vulnerable residents if vaccination rates don’t improve, a federal government minister has warned. The states are pushing for an 80 per cent vaccination rate in a bid to open up again, but there are concerns the lower numbers in Indigenous populations could put Cape and Torres Strait people at risk. Minister for Indigenous Australians Ken Wyatt said last week that he was open to the idea of individual communities locking down to protect their residents. “If we open up with 80 per cent for the general population, it doesn’t matter which state and territory, and indigenous Australians are only vaccinated at 40 per cent the rate, then they will be extremely vulnerable,” he told ABC Radio. “And I know communities are scared because I’ve been talking to people in communities and their leadership.” Mr Wyatt said last year’s experiences had given him faith that Indigenous communities

were in good hands at a local level. “I have every faith in chief ministers and premiers to make the right call (regarding opening up). Because when COVID first came to Australia we applied the Biosecurity Act, but we didn’t apply it until we had a discussion with all of the ministers for Indigenous Affairs in each of the jurisdictions that were particularly affected,” he said. “We had conversations with each and every one of them seeking their approval to put the

measure into place which locked Aboriginal communities down for a period of time. “I have no doubt that Premiers, and Ministers for Health, and Ministers for Indigenous Affairs will be very aware of the risk that is facing Indigenous Australians if our vaccination rates aren’t at the same level as Australia’s. “So that’s why this period gives us the opportunity to do some very concerted focussed activity that will bring the vaccination rates up.

“I will strongly advocate for the protection of Indigenous communities and for concerted efforts throughout this period. “If we reach that point and if our numbers are low in any area then we will look at measures to prevent that opening up as we did at the beginning of COVID; we used the Biosecurity Act. “And I know some communities themselves will lock their borders to external people and they did it superbly right at the beginning of this whole COVID-19 process and they’ll do it again.” Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch said he would back individual communities to protect themselves, but urged all Cape York residents to get vaccinated. “We can’t be closed forever and this virus will spread when the states open up,” he said. “Not being vaccinated could prevent you from coming back home and putting your community at risk. “We won’t see a biosecurity bubble over the whole Cape like last year, but we might see individual communities closed if the vaccination rates don’t lift in some places.”

POLICE in Cooktown had a busy week, with a number of drivers caught over the alcohol limit or with drugs in their system. On Tuesday, police intercepted a 51-yearold man who blew .102 and nabbed a 47-year-old man with a relevant drug in his system. Two more drug drivers, men aged 35 and 45, were nabbed on Wednesday and Thursday. On Sunday, a 57-year-old man was caught driving almost three times the legal limit with a BAC of .146. Cooktown officer in charge Sergeant John McArthur said police would be out in greater numbers in the upcoming school holidays, warning motorists to do the right thing in the busy period.

School bans phones WESTERN Cape College is putting a complete ban on mobile phones and personal electronic devices. “Students have been notified at school and we will continue to advertise until the end of the term and into next term,” said secondary principal Dan Tonon. “We value technology at Western Cape College, but also need to teach our students how to have balance and restraint with technology. “Research into phone bans in educational settings show improved academic results and beneficial social outcomes for students. Students will be explicitly taught our policy and supported to manage this change.”

Major Lakeland meeting LAKELAND residents are invited to attend the quarterly Lakeland Irrigation Area Scheme community meeting next Monday on September 20. The LIAS project is progressing a major dam which will more than triple Lakeland’s irrigable area and provide water security for landholders. Regional Development Australia Tropical North chair David Kempton and principal project manager Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation will provide a project update and answer questions. “This is an exciting project which will underpin jobs and growth in southern Cape York. This project will benefit the Lakeland community by providing access to an affordable and reliable water supply,” Mr Kempton said. The meeting will be at the Lakeland Town Hall from noon until 1.30pm. Contact RDA Tropical North for more information.

LEGENDARY Australian artist Normie Rowe will arrive in Cape York this week for a weeklong booking of gigs at Bramwell Station. It’s the third time he’s visited the popular tourist park over the years and he’s eager to return to entertain tourists and catch up with manager Ken Godfrey. “I was the best man at his wedding over 40 years ago,” Rowe said on Monday. “When I first knew him, his hair was black and thick and he looked like Fred Flinstone. “My wife at the time got the

cartoon characters mixed up and called him Barney Rubble, so his nickname has been ‘Barney’ for the last four decades.” Rowe, who lives on the Gold Coast, has been like most Aussie musicians during the pandemic. “It’s been bloody hard for us with a lot of cancelled gigs and not a lot of ways to make money,” he said. “It’s pretty stupid because my partner lives on the other side of the border and I can’t drive 20 minutes south but I can drive north for days.” Tourists camping at Bram-

well over the next week will be entertained by his classic hits as he prepares a 90-minute set each night after dinner and Kenny’s famous station talk. “I love being out in remote places because it gives you a chance to clear your head and gather your thoughts,” said Rowe, who had his first number one hit in 1965. And while younger people may not recognise his name, he says they’ll know some of the tunes. “Once I start playing people are familiar with the songs.”

Nursing student enjoys challenges of working in the Cape and Torres Strait THE picturesque beauty of tropical Far North Queensland makes it a traveller’s paradise, but for Shekina Plowman, spending two weeks on placement in remote Cape York and Torres Strait communities offered the CQUniversity nursing student more than she could have dreamed. “I have always wanted to help and care for people. I wanted an exciting career where I can work in a variety of different settings and have many different areas of expertise, and nursing offered me this,” Ms Plowman said. “I knew that the opportunity to complete my placement in a regional location would be an indispensable experience in helping me to further develop my skills and reach these goals.” She said that given her placement experiences were all so rewarding, it was hard to choose only one highlight. “Alongside the Thursday Island community mental health team, I attended multidisciplinary team meetings, patient

consultations, and travelled to a remote Aboriginal community in Bamaga. I met many locals and gained some long-lasting friendships. “Throughout my stay I attended six different islands and conducted cares in the primary health care centres and within patients’ homes. “I was able to meet and talk with the primary health care workers and local Indigenous people, and learn many invaluable nursing skills.”

Ms Plowman has always desired to work as a community mental health nurse in a rural or remote locality, and after completing the trip, her passion has only grown stronger. Since completing her Bachelor of Nursing, the Noosa resident said she has taken every opportunity to travel north. “I am currently living and working in the Cape as a registered nurse, helping with the COVID vaccination rollout. It has been extremely rewarding

to put my nursing skills to good use,” she said. “In between my busy work schedule, I am also completing my graduate certificate in mental health nursing online with CQUniversity. This qualification is another steppingstone towards my mental health nursing career. “Although I am only in the Cape for a three month stay, I hope to be back once I complete my post-graduate qualifications.”

Hundreds flock to WASP opening By MATT NICHOLLS

WEIPA Town Authority chairman Michael Rowland says he was blown away by the response to the town’s new sports facility at Saturday’s official opening. Hundreds flocked to the Weipa Aquatic Sports Precinct for the festivities, which saw tennis legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley cut the ribbon with Rio Tinto Weipa boss Michelle Elvy. “It went really, really well,” Mr Rowland said on Monday. “I didn’t get a single negative comment ... I think the gym blew everybody away. “I think the facility went above and beyond the expectations of the community.” Mr Rowland praised Rio Tinto for funding the new facility, at a cost of around $12 million, and thanked the WTA staff for putting together the opening event. “The team in the town office de-

serve a lot of praise for their hard work to make it a special day,” he said. The WTA chairman said having tennis royalty at the opening was an added bonus. “Evonne was such a lovely person and very approachable. She was also blown away by the courts and the facility,” Mr Rowland said. The next challenge for the WTA, which will manage the new centre, is to make sure it doesn’t become a burden for ratepayers. “It needs to be used and we have amalgamated the facility with the pool to make things as efficient as possible to try and find savings. “We hope the gym memberships increase and that people join up to the squash clubs and tennis clubs to make the most of it. “I had one woman ask me if it could be hired out for dance classes and that’s the kind of thinking we need to make sure it is used as often as possible.”

Hunters prepared for their Candidate getting to biggest event of the year know Cape DOZENS of hunters will take to the Cape York bush on Friday night for the annual Weipa Pig Hunt. The event was called off last year due to the pandemic, but makes an comeback in 2021 to help tackle the feral species. “There are a lot of pigs out there this year and you should see good numbers at the weigh-in station,” said committee member Steve Head, a long-serving publicity officer of the Weipa Pig Hunt. “This is a locals-only event with teams coming from Weipa, Mapoon and Napranum. You can have one visitor, but they must be on a team with a local.” The committee said this year’s event had been bolstered with some great prizes for the winners, as well as other giveaways for entrants. “The sponsorship we’ve had this year is amazing and we are grateful for the support,” said Mr Head. “We’re thrilled to have Ecotone come on board this year. They are a flora and fauna consultant based in Weipa. “Senior ecologist and business owner Lauren Dibben approached us offering sponsorship, which included the tremendous supply of snake bandage kits.” The kits will be distributed to

the hunters as they leave on Friday night. Other kits will also be available for sale. “The kit includes a 10-metre pressure immobilisation bandage, which is the currently recognised first aid for all snake bites in Australia,” Ms Dibben said. “We use bandages with the handy rectangle/square indicator on them to show the correct application for tightness. “They are cryovaced so they last a tough life of pig hunting and adventures in the Weipa bush. “We also threw in a handy little guide to snakes of Western Cape York, made by Ecotone just for the Weipa Pig Hunt.” Hunters are reminded they must have permission to be on the land they choose to hunt on. Weipa Pig Hunt president Rodney “Redman” Brett said: “With the cooperation of landholders, local councils and QPS we are looking forward to a safe, incident-free event. “Pigs are to be hunted fairly and dispatched quickly and humanely.” The 24-hour event starts on Friday at 5pm from the Carpentaria Golf Club. Weigh in starts at 1pm Saturday and the entertainment will run throughout the afternoon and into the evening.

Gary Head is always keen to pick off a boar or two at the Weipa Pig Hunt and will have another crack this year. INSET – Snake bandages that were donated by Ecotone.

JOBS and skills, housing and COVID were among the hot topics raised during a recent road trip to Cooktown by Labor’s candidate for Leichhardt, Elida Faith. “It’s been terrific to hit the road again and head up to Cooktown to hear directly from locals on the ground about what’s important to them right now,” she said. “It’s been reassuring to hear that a lot of people are keen to get vaccinated and do the right thing by their community to beat this pandemic, but there is still a lot of work to do.” Ms Faith thanked the Cook Shire councillors for taking the time to brief her on the council’s challenges, opportunities and priorities, covering issues from housing, employment and sustainability of local government funding. “Housing is clearly a major challenge facing the Cooktown region and in fact, it continues to be raised with me in communities right across Leichhardt,” she said. “I am incredibly pleased that Labor has already made a significant policy announcement which includes a commitment to build thousands of new homes.” The candidate also met with local workers, including a number of apprentices, at workplaces around the region.

Sea Swift offers career pathway A GROUP of Indigenous students took their first steps towards a career in the marine industry when they visited Sea Swift’s Cairns operations as part of a new partnership with AFL Cape York House. Around 20 senior students from AFL Cape York House toured the facilities of northern Australia’s biggest shipping company. The visit, organised in conjunction with North Marine, is part of a reinvigoration of Sea Swift’s highly-successful marine cadetship program, which recruits young trainees into the company. Sea Swift CEO Rochelle Macdonald said the company was delighted to invite AFL Cape York House to tour its facilities, highlighting the importance it places on investing in future generations, including young Indigenous people. “We’re really pleased to be able to partner with AFL Cape York House and provide its students with an insight into a possible career with Sea Swift,” she said.

“Our cadetship program is our way of giving young local people a head start with on-the-job experience and formal training. “It has always made perfect sense to Sea Swift to appoint locally where we can, and one of our aims is to provide long-term job opportunities to local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.” AFL Cape York House careers and transitions officer Peter Cushway said the organisation’s Ca-

reers and Transitions Program focused not only on post-schooling career pathways, but also provided the tools and knowledge required to transition into working life. “We have a great base of local businesses that are supportive of offering our students both work experience and casual employment opportunities,” he said. “We also encourage and assist our young people to upskill and make themselves more employ-

able through licences (car and marine), White Cards, Blue Cards, First Aid and other qualifications. “By providing opportunities for our young people to visit businesses and industries, we hope to open up new pathway options and allow our young people to investigate the industry and look at the potential opportunity of the environment. “We are continually looking to build positive relationships with key industries and organisations

like Sea Swift, who are culturally appropriate for our young people given the connection to community through Cape York and the Torres Strait.” The tour was the brainchild of North Marine director Courtney Hansen, who helped connect Sea Swift and AFL Cape York House to provide the opportunity to students. Ms Hansen was the first ever female to join Sea Swift’s cadetship program, was named Cadet of the Year in 2013, and created history in 2015 after being appointed Sea Swift’s first permanent female captain. “I know from my time as a cadet and then captain at Sea Swift that it set me up for a career in the marine industry and helped get me to where I am today,” she said. “I think this is a great opportunity for young First Nations people who might be finishing school to explore a possible career on the water.”

Students from Weipa’s Clontarf academy with Elders and staff from the Western Cape Communities Trust at last week’s official opening of the program and new building at Western Cape College.

Clontarf Foundation branch officially opened at WCC WEIPA’S Clontarf Foundation academy was given its official opening at Western Cape College last week, with visiting Clontarf students flying in for the occasion. In a $3 million partnership between Western Cape Communities Trust, Rio Tinto and the federal government, the Clontarf Foundation established an academy of achievement this year. The Clontarf academy is a men-

torship program that aims to build self-esteem and self-discipline among participating young Indigenous men to foster educational engagement, behavioural change and adaptive life skills. The brainchild of former AFL coach Gerard Neesham, the academy uses sport activities, especially rugby league, to motivate students to attend and remain at school and improve their life choices.

Cooktown team making a splash By MELISSA GUNSTON

COOKTOWN sent 22 swim club members aged from 6-17 to Cairns earlier this month to compete at the Central Cairns Swimming Carnival. This is the first time we have had a large group attend this carnival. Three junior tadpole members and one future member joined the 10 years and under swimming carnival, starting the morning off with some fun 25m events. At 12pm the competition began with all competitive swimmers aged from 8 and up battling it out against some of FNQ’s and Queensland’s best swimmers. All Cooktown members did extremely well with some incredible personal best times and placings. We finished the eventful day off with a group dinner at Cazalys where all our families got to reflect on the day’s events and celebrate their children’s achievements. The winter training sessions have helped our members to keep fit and prepare for this event. Coach Donald has been training our competitive members for the past three months on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 6.45am to 7.45am. It was a real struggle at first for the majority of the children but they are all now settled into the routine. We need to say a massive thank

you to Cooktown RSL who gave our club a generous donation which helped us pay for the cost to attend this carnival. We were also able to purchase new, better quality swim caps which have been personalised with the RSL logo as our sponsors for our competitive swimmers. The next carnival we will be attending will be Dimbulah in November, followed by Malanda in December.

If things settle down with COVID, we will be having two well known, former Olympians visiting Cooktown in October to host a coaching clinic for us. We are planning on having lots of fundraising activities and raffles to help raise funds for our club and competitive swimmers. The Cooktown Swim Club signon for the summer will be on October 5 at the pool and will be open for two weeks for future members.

SPORT IN BRIEF Squash club recruiting FOLLOWING the opening of the Weipa sports centre, the Weipa Squash Club is looking for people of all skill levels who are interested in participating in the first season at the new facility. “We are also looking for anyone who is willing to join the Weipa Squash Club committee,” Alex Kinsey said. “A meeting will be held in the next month to decide how the season will be run.” If you are interested in playing or getting involved, send your phone number and email to weipasquashclub@gmail.com

The league tag squad had some fierce battles in 2021. The Cooktown Crocs under-8s team.

Wackers goes to Aaron AARON Singleton beat the wind and 20 rivals to salute at last week’s Wednesday Wackers in Weipa. He had a nett 30.5 in the nine-hole competition to beat Viv Chan, who beat Jon Dall and Ross Craven in a countback to be the runner-up. Nearest to pins went to Scott Triffit on the 15th and a bloke called Thorn, who was closest on the 18th. Matt Keillor picked up the Bradman’s. Dawnies results arrived late and Lucas Duvenhague was the winner on Sunday, beating Jon Dall. The Hoffman’s went to Mick Fairall, while Grant Crossley had the longest drive and Derek Tata won NTP.

There are some future stars in the Crocs’ under-12 team.

Cooktown junior league finishes season strongly

Wal is wily in the wind CUNNING golfer Wal Welsh is warming up at the business end of the Cooktown Golf Club season. Sensing an opportunity with a small field scared off by gale-force winds, Welsh enabled his super-up card in the Race to the Bay competition, which would give him 1000 points for finishing first. The gamble paid off as Welsh fired a brilliant stableford round of 36 points, which would be the equivalent of 48 in calm conditions. Welsh moved from 17th to 9th in the Race to the Bay standings and, with a few super-up cards to play, he could still chase down the leading pack. John McArthur won a countback to be runner-up and added a fair chunk of points to move into second in the Race to the Bay. Nearest to the pins went to Steve Butler 2/11, Rick Butler 14 and McArthur 9/18.

The under-10s squad showed plenty of skill against Hope Vale.

Rising star Jonathan Coventry.

Trevor Gibson is one to watch.

Jett Ryder had a stellar season.

Ned Sail led by example.

COOKTOWN Junior Rugby League wrapped up its season on Sunday with grand finals against Hope Vale. The junior players duked it out with their neighbouring rivals all season, but a big crowd of parents and friends gathered at John Street Oval for the final outing of 2021. Cooktown Crocs publicity officer Jacynta Hunt said it had been a successful season, with more than 130 players registered between Cooktown and Hope Vale. “We introduced league tag for the first time and it was also really popular,” she said. One of the highlights of the year was the visit of the Mossman juniors last week. “We don’t get many visiting

teams to play against so it was a real buzz for the kids to play against someone new.” 2021 AWARD RECIPIENTS Best and Fairest U8: Jonathan Coventry U10: Max Giese U12: Jett Ryder League tag: Shaelanee Hegamaea League tag: Rocco Thomason Encouragement Award U8: Henry Godfrey-Roberts U10: Trevor Gibson U12: Ned Sail League tag: Owen Delahunty League tag: Amber Frame Most Improved U8: Miles Dunkerton U10: James Coventry U12: Carrick Macmillan League tag: Teila Hunt League tag: Lakea Hegamaea

Residents left without internet for nine days

Telstra fails Seisia SEISIA residents and business owners have criticised Telstra for a lack of service after the Northern Peninsula Area community went nine days without internet service. Community members reported the outage at 3.45pm on Tuesday, August 31 but it was not until last Thursday, September 9, that the problem was resolved. A Telstra employee wasn’t able to confirm the issue when Cape York Weekly contacted them last Tuesday, but followed up and confirmed that there was a problem. The telco then sent technicians to Seisia to investigate the issue on Wednesday and the problem was fixed by Thursday. “Telstra technicians have today completed repairs on a broken optic fibre cable that was impacting the ADSL services of approximately 40 properties in Seisia since the start of September,” said Rachel Cliffe, Telstra’s Queensland regional general manager. “Fixed line telephones, NBN satellite internet and Telstra mobile coverage were not impacted during this time. “The impacted cable solely served Seisia, which explains why other communities in the area were not affected. We try and fix problems as quickly as possible and our technicians had visited the site on a number of occasions but the cause had proved elusive to find.” Continued – Page 5

Region ready for festival’s return By MARK KNOWLES

THE Winds of Zenadth Cultural Festival for 2021 is set to take place on Thursday Island this week on Thursday and Friday. The theme of this year’s festival, which will be on a smaller scale due to COVID-19 restrictions, is One Mat, Many Patterns. Torres Shire Council mayor Vonda Malone said the decision to go ahead was only confirmed last week and that the festival would be confined to the Thursday Island community. The decision is in line with public health advice discouraging large gatherings and interactions between island communities during the pandemic. Cr Malone said it was unfortunate that a full-scale festival wouldn’t be going ahead but that this year’s event would still provide an opportunity to plan for a much bigger 2022 festival. “It was a decision by council, in partnership with the Indigenous Advisory Committee to ensure we

still had opportunities to connect and keep the morale of the community up through our cultural events,” she said. “The decision was to do it just in our own Torres Shire, rather than encompassing the whole of the region and to prepare for a bigger event in 2022... which is really going to be the focus.”

Coinciding with the festival will be the 2021 Torres Strait NAIDOC Awards at 7pm on Wednesday. The awards will be held at the Thursday Island Sports Complex and will feature a performance by Danny Bani and the Boys. A Festival Cultural Protocol Roundtable is planned for the 2022 festival, which will be held at the

Council Sports Complex from 11am on Thursday. “The forum will be a platform for our cultural elders, composers of both Torres Strait Island song and dance, our cultural story tellers and holders of cultural knowledge to come together in a safe environment to discuss the topic of cultural protocol,” Cr Malone said.

Following the roundtable talk will be a family evening in Anzac Park from 6pm with the opportunity to watch footage from the previous festival projected on a large screen. “Thursday night will allow people to look at the previous festival... people can sit back and relax and appreciate the footage of what was a really huge event,” Cr Malone said. On Friday there will be a night of traditional dancing as well as 16 stalls serving traditional food and other local products. “We will have variety of food stalls so when the music and dancing is going on people can gather in the park and have the delicious traditional Kai-Kai food,” the mayor said. “We will have lots of dancing and entertainment as well as a chance the for the community to be able to come together and support local families to do their fundraising for various cultural events, like weddings, that are happening at the end of this year.”

Skipper tells tales of Torres Strait ARNIE Duffield, pearling lugger captain and pioneer in the pearl culture industry, launched his memoirs at Brisbane’s Maritime Museum earlier this month. The 95-year-old yarn spinner and adventurer collaborated with his younger cousin Lee Duffield over hours of interviews to create the book Arnie – Pearls and Luggers in the Torres Strait, published by Xlibiris. The book is replete with stories, about crocodiles and sharks, drunks, bad weather at sea, a neardrowning and a few close shaves on bush air-strips. “We wrote this as it was something to do. It was about ego I suppose – my ego,” said Arnie. “The history is worth telling, and keeping the information it contains, especially about the pearling industry, the war years and the luggers. It should be good for my four grandsons to have.” The book weaves a tale about the boats, the dangers of deep-sea diving, war on Australia’s doorstep, threats to the environment and the diverse people of the region. Paralleling Arnie’s personal story is the wider story of change achieved by the Torres Strait Islander community, from colonial times during his childhood on

Lee Duffield with his uncle Arnie Duffield ahead of the book launch.

Thursday Island in the 1930s, to the moment of the Mabo decision on Native Title in 1992. The book was formally launched on September 4 as part of the opening of a new exhibition on Indigenous Water Craft and Pearling at the Queensland Maritime Museum in Brisbane. Arnie’s cousin and former ABC journalist Lee Duffield, who researched and compiled the book, said Arnie’s stories had been told within his wider family for years before the idea of the book was hatched. “He’s a yarn spinner and his daughter said he wanted someone

to write up his stories and I thought it would interest a wider audience if we wrote it as a biography,” he said. “He’s very acute, he remembers things well, particularly if it’s to do with boat and engines on boats, he’s a real maritime man. “We prepared it as a double gift to readers: the presentation of a memorable personality, interwoven with the history, how things were generally, in that unique and remote place. “The book is available from xlibris.com, other major online vendors and selected bookshops including Cairns Books.

It was hard work in the pearl industry in formative years.

Massive fleets of luggers filled the Torres Strait.

Applications open: Aunty Ivy overwhelmed with joy By MARK KNOWLES

APPLICATIONS are now open to recognise Torres Strait Islander traditional child rearing practices under a historic new law that translates “for our children’s children”. It follows more than 30 years of advocacy by Kupai Omasker Elders to allow Torres Strait Islanders raised by extended family to transfer their legal identity from birth parents to cultural parents. Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Craig Crawford officially opened applications for Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa Cultural Recognition Orders at a ceremony in Cairns last Tuesday. “This is a living act of reconciliation. It will enable more Torres Strait Islander people to experience and access the same basic rights to identity as every other Queenslander,” he said. Kupai Omasker Working Party chairperson Ivy Trevallion, a longtime advocate for legal recognition of the cultural practice, said she was elated that applications are now open. “I’m over the moon, it’s been a long-awaited process... (now we want to) make sure that our families get the proper assistance they require throughout the whole process and make sure that cultural safety is always at the forefront,” she said. Once granted, the new Cultural Recognition Orders will have far reaching implications for issues such as inheritance, native title claims and access to government services. “There are also issues of how this legislation will be incorporated into Native Title legislation... across the board it affects a number

An elated C’Zarke Maza and Aunty Ivy Trevallion celebrate the good news in Cairns last Tuesday.

of pieces of legislation,” she said. In September last year, The Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa (Torres Strait Islander Traditional Child Rearing Practice) Act 2020 became the first piece of legislation to use traditional Islander languages in Queensland. Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa commissioner C’Zarke Maza will oversee the application process with powers to make a Cultural

Recognition Order, which if granted, will enable a new birth certificate to be issued, and will transfer parentage of a child or adult to Cultural Parents. “No longer will our Ailan Kastom be a reason for us, as Torres Strait Islander people to be marginalised in society,’’ he said. “Torres Strait Islander families will now have an application process that will remove the many le-

gal barriers and allow their cultural identity to reflect their legal identity and lived experience. “Our priority now is to help individuals and families navigate the application process, so Torres Strait Islanders of all ages raised in extended families can access the same opportunities to enrol in school, access government support, pursue new opportunities and thrive.”

Telstra in spotlight at Seisia

From – Page 1 “We originally replaced some pieces of hardware that we thought was the cause but turned out not to be, so we had to go and investigate further,” Ms Cliffe said. “We apologise for any inconvenience to local customers during this time.” Seisia Enterprise CEO Arthur Wong said conducting business was almost impossible without an internet service. “Our businesses cannot be effective with no internet, especially email,” he said. “We have been unable to contact our suppliers, contact our HR consultant, unable to process invoices to continue cash flow and unable to do bookings at the holiday park. “Telstra’s service in this community has not been satisfactory for years.” Joseph Elu, former chair of Indigenous Business Australia and former deputy chair of Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation said that communities like Seisia could not grow without appropriate and affordable telecommunications. “Having telecoms like internet and good coverage in this day and age is a basic need for businesses – and households, and it hinders business when they don’t have reliable telecommunications,” he said. The ADSL outage in Seisia was made worse by the fact the small coastal community has poor 4G signal, meaning that most residents were unable to use their phones as a mobile hotspot to access the internet.

PNG vaccination response given helping hand by ADF A SMALL Australian Defence Force planning team has helped bolster the PNG government’s COVID-19 response. They worked with the PNG Defence Force, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and local health authorities to increase vaccination rates. After arriving in PNG in May as part of Operation PNG Assist, the team, comprising operations, health and logistics planners, helped expand the vacci-

nation rollout in a challenging environment. Contingent Commander Major Peter Southern said vital to the team’s deployment was the ADF’s partnership with the PNGDF. “The complex environment in PNG means we had to work closely with many agencies, especially our partners in the PNGDF, to help coordinate and improve the vaccine rollout and encourage those in the Western

Province to get vaccinated,” Major Southern said. “Our defence-to-defence links are an enduring legacy that are very important.” Logistician Captain Thomas Jones said the overall impact of the team’s work had been excellent. “In Western Province we procured and delivered equipment to enable mobile vaccine teams to reach further into remote communities,” he said.

“We have also assisted in providing helicopter support through the PNGDF to reach these locations, expedited the construction of a jetty and obtained resources to enable the village to build a new bridge, allowing for improved access.” Before the team’s arrival, 1929 vaccinations had been administered across the area of operation. The figures have since risen to over 6000 first doses and nearly 1000 second doses.

TSRA investing in healthier lifestyles THE Torres Strait Regional Authority is partnering with the state government to increase investment in the Torres Strait Island Regional Council’s Healthy Lifestyle Officer program. TSRA’s Healthy Communities Program has provided valuable funding, which will increase staff hours, provide additional resources and specialised training. The HLO program provides locally led, community needsbased activities to encourage positive nutrition and healthy

lifestyles. Through targeting obesity, smoking and unhealthy alcohol consumption, the HLO program aims to combat the region’s alarming health statistics and high rates of chronic illness. Emphasising the importance of a proactive approach, TSRA chair Pedro Stephen said: “The TSRA is committed to funding and advocating for improved health outcomes for the people of the Torres Strait and NPA. “The partnership recognises our shared determination to see more active and healthy com-

munities across our region. “The TSRA’s investment will increase healthy lifestyle program activities in our Outer Island communities, including active school holiday programs, the development of community sport and recreational plans, and ongoing HLO education workshops on accessing and cooking fresh and healthy foods.” Minister for Sport Stirling Hinchliffe said the new partnership would improve health outcomes in the Torres Strait. “We want all Queenslanders

Other stakeholders of the HLO Program include the Australian Government National Indigenous Australians Agency who provide core funding for the HLO program, and Health and Wellbeing Queensland (HWQ) who partnered with TSIRC in July 2020 to provide the support of a Public Health Nutritionist to train the HLO’s in delivering health promotion and recreation activities.

STRONG WINDS IMPACT SERVICE STRONG winds have impacted Sea Swift’s ability to deliver some regular services. In a statement, the shipping company said it would do its best to ensure residents would not go without essential items, such as food. “Currently Dauan and Erub (Darnley) will not be serviced this week as it is unsafe for our landing craft – MV Fourcroy and Malu Titan – to access the ramp. At this stage we will look at servicing these communities next week, and in conjunction with CEQ look at alternate means of ensuring that these communities do not run out of essential freight,” Sea Swift said. “Customers will be contacted by their respective account managers to keep them up to date on changes to the schedule.”

Teen sweethearts tie the knot on T.I.

George Dorante and Leah Bann after their wedding.

Picture: Alima Ahwang

GEORGE Dorante and Leah Bann said ‘I do’ last month on Thursday Island in an immaculate outdoor wedding ceremony hosted at Anzac Park. The wedding was witnessed by a crowd of hundreds of the bride’s and groom’s families from Yam, Poruma, Warraber, Hammond, Murray and Thursday Islands, as well as families from down south. Torres Strait Islander cultural

traditions were incorporated and honoured in the days and hours leading up to the wedding ceremony. The celebrations, singing and dancing started early in the day with a procession of the groom’s family walking towards the bride’s family home to take her and welcome her into the groom’s family. The celebrations continued on after the wedding with a tra-

ditional feasting followed by singing and dancing late into the night. Families and guests reflected that the wedding and the celebrations that followed were one of the most beautiful and memorable in the island’s history. The newlyweds would like to thank all the family and friends who had a hand in helping to put together and celebrate their special day.
