QFES PUTS CAPE ON RED ALERT

Total fire bans By SARAH MARTIN

WITH fire crews and volunteers stretched and an increase in suspected arson, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services has extended an unprecedented total fire ban for the entire Cape for another week. QFES regional manager Lawrence Laing said the fire ban affected the entire northern region from Cardwell to the Torres Strait as resources are stretched to breaking point. “This is uncommon, we have had fire bans on local government areas before, but not the whole region,” Mr Laing said. “We’re utilising all our resources on the current fires, and with no decent rainfall predicted any time soon, we can’t afford to have more fires burning.” Mr Laing said it was bushfire season, and while the number of fires currently burning across the Cape wasn’t unusual, they had sapped the energy of fire crews. “There is always fire in the Cape in some shape or form at this time of year, and some don’t have much impact and don’t need heavy resourcing, but at the moment we have 18 bushfires and 26 appliances fighting them,” he said. “These are volunteers, community members like you and I who have been pulled away from their livelihoods and homes, and this has been going on consistently now for weeks.” Western Cape Rural Fire Brigade fire warden Steve Fairbrother said a deliberately-lit blaze had already decimated more than

300,000ha and would probably take out the same amount of country before it stopped. “We were fighting a 17km fire front on Watson River Station, but luckily with the Watson River crew on the grader widening their fire break, along with the Western

Cape Rural Fire Brigade, we were able to keep it at bay,” he said. While Watson River Station is safe for now, the fire continues to burn and QFES has issued multiple warnings for nearby Aurukun as thick smoke blankets the community.

Watson River manager Russell Scikluna told Cape York Weekly that his team’s early burns and other control measures, including fire breaks, had been instrumental in keeping the fire from destroying too much of the property. Continued – Page 2

Total fire ban across the Cape as arson takes toll From – Page 1 “Every fire is a bit different, and the embers can fly a long way, but this time the measures we put in place and the Western Cape Rural Brigade’s help stopped it coming onto our property,” Mr Scikluna said. The fire ban is in place for the local government areas of Aurukun, Cook, Douglas, Hope Vale, Kowanyama, Lockhart River, Mapoon, Napranum, Northern Peninsula Area, Pormpuraaw, Torres, Weipa, Wujal Wujal, Cairns, Yarrabah, Cassowary Coast, Mareeba, Tablelands, Croydon and Etheridge. Mr Laing said under the ban all outside open fires were prohibited and all previously issued fire permits had been cancelled, with the support of Cape fire wardens. The fire ban was put in place on Thursday, coinciding with a fire warning from Cook Shire’s Local Disaster Management Group warning travellers to steer clear of the Old Telegraph Track. Meanwhile a fire-bombing chopper and multiple rural fire brigade volunteers joined residents to battle a blaze between Cameron Creek and Barrett’s Creek roads just north of Cooktown on Saturday. Marton Rural Fire Brigade fire warden Tony Holmes, speaking from the fire truck on Monday on his way back to a flare up, said the blaze threatened multiple homes over the weekend, with QFES warning residents to get ready to abandon their homes on Sunday afternoon. “We’ve been fighting it from Saturday morning until now,” Mr Holmes said on Monday. “We thought we had it under control about 4pm yesterday, but at this stage it’s flared back up again. Mr Holmes said it had been “touch and go” for several Cameron Creek Road properties and

field, with support from a firebombing helicopter. “It jumped Cameron Creek Road again on Sunday after lunch and we got it under control again, but I don’t know what is going to happen today,” Mr Holmes said. The risk of being caught in wildfires was highlighted by Cape York Weekly in September when Victorian couple Jake Gretten and Sam Bakker were

left with severe burns after being caught in a bushfire on the Cape. The weekend’s fires come on the back of an increase in suspected arson attacks on Piccaninny Plains Wildlife Reserve and other Cape York properties, with families and staff across the region working tirelessly battling blaze after blaze. Piccaninny Plains is managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, whose frustrated chief operations officer Tim White said staff last week were battling three fires at once, all suspected to be deliberately lit. “It is threatening people’s safety and livelihoods,” he said. “Our managers are there with their family, the graziers are there with their families, it’s a very dangerous and damaging thing to be doing. “These fires are working their way across a significant part of the landscape, impacting residents and landholders. “It’s not just impacting AWC and the environment, it’s a significant cost, strain and stress to all landholders.”

THE Weipa community is set to benefit with the launch of Sea Swift’s brand new cargo ship, which promises to get goods and services to remote Far North Queensland communities faster than ever before. The shipping company celebrated the arrival of the 99.98-metre-long Newcastle Bay in Cairns last Tuesday. Master of the Newcastle Bay Bryce Ikin said it was an honour to celebrate the ship’s launch in front of key stakeholders. “It’s a special time for the company, and for all of our customers and everyone that lives in the remote areas that we service in Far North Queensland,” he said. With the capacity for 200 shipping containers and a maximum speed of 16 knots, the Newcastle Bay is poised to be a game-changer in providing crucial freight support for the transportation of essential and non-essential goods across the region. “For us, it’s all about productivity,” said Sea Swift chief operations officer Darren Lambourn.

“It’s faster, it’s more efficient, and we can get the containers on and off a lot easier.” The ship is set to take on its first voyage at the end of the month after operating and safety checks are finalised. The purpose-built vessel will be deployed to meet schedules between Cairns and the Torres Strait, and will also play a vital role in ensuring food and essential deliveries reach the Outer Torres Strait Islands. “Hopefully, once we get the programming and scheduling

right, we can improve our service and our capacity to meet our schedules on time,” Sea Swift chairman Steven Boulton said. He said that the Newcastle Bay is an exciting addition to 28 other vessels operated by Sea Swift. “We’re investing in the future, and the Newcastle Bay will significantly increase our cargo capacity, especially during Northern Queensland’s wet season,” he said. He explained that the launch

marks a significant milestone in Sea Swift’s commitment to serving the unique needs of northern Australia. “We’re looking forward to making a strong contribution to the broader community that this vessel will support with the services and products that we will provide,” he said. “I think it will have an impact socially through that community, but also importantly I think it’ll have an impact on the economic development of northern Queensland.”

LGAQ recognises mayor

SOON-to-retire Cook Shire mayor Peter Scott’s 20 years of service to local government was recognised by hundreds of peers at the annual Local Government Association of Queensland conference in Gladstone last week. Cr Scott has served as a Councillor since 2004, and as Mayor since 2008, making him one of the longest-standing mayors in Cook Shire history, but will not be standing for re-election in 2024. “I’ve got mixed emotions, because I feel I’ve never been more valuable to my community than I am now with my experience, connections and networks,” Cr Scott said of his upcoming retirement.

LGAQ president Mark Jamieson with Cook Shire mayor Peter Scott.

“But I’ve got to be honest with myself, I’ve done 20 years in local government, 30 years in Cooktown, 40 years with my beautiful wife and I’m 70 years old – it’s time to focus on spend-

ing time with my wife, my children and grandchildren.” Cr Scott was recognised with a 20 year service award at a special dinner during the week-long annual conference, which is at-

tended by most local governments in Queensland. “I’m comfortable that I’m leaving the Council in good shape, we have a great executive leadership team, staff and strong financial position and some really good people putting their hands up to come on board as councillors in the local government election in March,” Cr Scott said. “Serving as mayor has been a privilege, a massive learning curve and a lot of fun and I’ve met some great people along the way.” Cr Scott and his wife Sayah plan to stay in Cooktown and enjoy their well-earned retirement with family.

NEWS IN BRIEF Council hits the road BLOOMFIELD Valley locals will have a chance to chat with Cook Shire staff and councillors in person with the council’s October meeting, and an informal meet and greet, held in Bloomfield this week. The council and its management team will head to the Bloomfield Community Hall on Tuesday for its monthly general meeting, which is open to the public, followed by a community meet and greet, with morning tea and light lunch provided. Mayor Peter Scott said he loved travelling throughout the shire and being able to talk to residents in person. “It’s just great to get down to one of the most beautiful parts of our shire and I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone and having a yarn and a snag,” he said. “I’m also excited to see progress on the Ayton boat ramp pontoon and celebrate a project Council has been lobbying for a long time with the community.” The council meeting starts at 9am, with an informal meet and greet at the conclusion of the formal meeting, with the whole day expected to be finalised by 1pm.

Barra comp champ wants to win again this weekend By CHISA HASEGAWA

THE winner of last year’s annual Cooktown Barramundi Fishing Competition is looking to take home another win at the Sovereign Resort Hotel event. Local man Steve Law took home the first place prize of a brand new tinny after catching the fish closest to the mystery weight. “I’m really forward to doing it again this year and supporting the Sovereign,” he said.

Though it’s against competition rules to win the tinny again, Mr Law says he’d be thrilled to take out another prize, describing himself as a competitive man. “You’ve got to be in it to win it,” he laughed. He caught the winning barra at Lakefield last year, but this year’s fishing spot is still top secret. “I’ve certainly got a location in mind but that’s private and confidential for now!” He encouraged newcomers to

“just toss your hat in the ring” and have fun while they’re at it. “What are you going to say, just be throwing your lure in around the stags and work those lures,” he said. A Quintrex 460 Renegade S.C is up for grabs to the fisher who snags the barra closest to this year’s mystery weight. Sovereign Resort manager Dave Webber said the boat is worth close to $40,000 this year. “From 2.1 kg all the way

$439,000

through to 8.6 kg in little 50-gram increments, we pull out a mystery weight after all the fish are weighed,” he said. He explained that all prizes are based on proximity to the mystery weight, so anyone who makes a catch has a chance to win. “Even a 13 or 14-year-old could win the first prize,” he said. All fish are to be presented by 12pm on Sunday 29 October when the weigh-in presentation is to begin.

DIATREME Resources’ proposed silica mine near Hope Vale has been boosted to the tune of $24 million, with mineral giant Sibelco completing its second tranche investment in advance. Sibelco, a joint venture partner in Cape Silica Holdings, now holds 26.8 per cent interest in the company, with the second funding tranche bringing the total investment to $35 million. Diatreme CEO Neil McIntyre said Sibelco’s continued investment showed confidence in the joint venture. “This investment shows Sibelco’s confidence in Diatreme’s management and ability to deliver,” Mr McIntyre said. Sibelco chief strategy and business development officer Ian Sedgman said his company was pleased with the joint venture’s progress. “Our early payment highlights our support for the joint venture and confidence that it will deliver this key resource, which the world’s specialty glass market desperately needs at a time of rapid solar PV growth and accelerating global decarbonisation.” If approved, the silica mine could produce 5 mega tonnes of silica annually for 25 years.

Family Wellbeing Services help First Nations families heal from past trauma The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Wellbeing Services are a culturally safe and free service for all First Nations families who have children under 18 living in their care. The service covers the whole of Queensland, including the Torres Strait Islands and Cape York Peninsula. Each year over 5,000 families use Family Wellbeing Services for support with parenting and family issues. Families receive culturally safe support based on their families’ strengths and local community needs. The services are delivered by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations and the services are available for all family members including parents, grandparents, and other kin. Families and communities can access a range of services including parenting programs, relationship counselling, playgroups, and cultural support. The aim is to improve the emotional and physical wellbeing of families, children, and young people.

The Queensland Government provides over $45 million per annum in funding for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Wellbeing Services to better support First Nations families across the state. One couple who have benefitted from the service are Shelly and Henry*. They said that with the help of Family Wellbeing Service workers, they were able to make goals as a couple while Shelly was pregnant and access safe housing before the baby arrived. Shelly grew up in a small remote community and had a difficult life. There were constant arguments in her family, and she struggled with drugs. Shelly found herself abusing alcohol and fighting a lot at a young age. Faced with the choice of rehab or jail, Shelly chose rehab as she felt it would allow her to build a better life. Shortly after meeting her partner in a rehab facility, Shelly and Henry became pregnant with their first child. While this was an exciting time for the young family, Shelly worried about what the future would hold for their baby.

While they loved each other, neither of them knew how to control their anger. Both grew up around violence and abuse and didn’t know what a healthy relationship looked like, but they knew they wanted their baby to have a better life than they did growing up. Shelly visited her local community health service which encouraged her to reach out to a local Family Wellbeing Service for help. Shelly and Henry were appointed workers who helped them set individual goals as

well as goals to help them as a couple. The workers were able to assist the young family with making a successful application for a unit and helped them furnish it for the baby’s arrival. Shelly attended a parenting course dedicated to new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers and Henry attended a men’s group and received counselling to address his anger issues. “Our arguments were bad. We never hit each other but we yelled and screamed at each

other,” said Henry. “We talked to the Family Wellbeing Services workers and then I went to the men’s group. “They bought me a bike so I could get out of the house for a while to cool down. When I came back, we can talk better. “I know not to go too long or she will worry about me.” Family Wellbeing Services were able to connect Shelly to a local playgroup, where she met new mums and made friends. Henry still attends the men’s group which played a vital role in helping him manage his emotions and become a better father to his new baby. Since reaching out to the service, Shelly has the confidence to provide a safe and stable environment for her family. Through the service, Shelly and Henry were able to get the individual support they needed in a safe, non-judgemental, and culturally sensitive way.

Laura principal receives big gong By CHISA HASEGAWA

LAURA State School principal Melissa Shepherd took out the Leadership Award for Driving School Improvement at this year’s Teacher Awards after two and a half years at the school. The school improvement category is one of eight at the Teacher Awards, and celebrates a leader or leadership team that has excelled in creating, implementing and driving school improvement plans. Laura State School teacher Sam Simmonds said Ms Shepherd was an incredible leader deserving of the award. “She’s extremely supportive and fosters a growth mindset in her staff in linking education to a local and cultural context to support students,” he said. “She goes the extra mile and is the best mentor I’ve had so far in my teaching career.” Ms Shepherd, who has been in the education industry for over 30 years, recognised that students at Laura needed “genuine and substantiative” engagement with their local community on the path to success. “I set about to more actively involve parents, families and com-

Melissa Shepherd won the Leadership Award for Driving School Improvement for her commitment to the students.

munity leaders to co-create a culturally appropriate learning environment,” she explained. The school has collaborated in a groundbreaking research project entitled ‘Digitising the Deep Past: Machine Learning, Rock Art and Indigenous Engagement with 21st Century Technology’ with Griffith University and the local Indige-

nous Laura Land and Sea Rangers, to explore the link between school education and culture. She also implemented changes to improve attendance, set a culture of high expectations and success for every student and develop a school-wide curriculum and reading program. Since then, student have become

engaged with their own learning and goal setting and attendance has improved, supporting not only academic but also emotional and social learning. “I believe that we have developed a positive and supportive school culture. Students are settled and happy and show a desire to succeed in all areas of their day.”

But the planning doesn’t stop after an award, Ms Shepherd said, who is already thinking about future changes and ways to continue improving the school. She’d like the students to learn outside of the classroom by implementing a recycling program and even installing an outdoor kitchen to complement the recently completed veggie garden. She also plans to continue collaborating with teachers to review and update the curriculum, encourage innovative teaching methods and integrate technology into learning. “It was my priority to engage them in planning and implementing the change. Most importantly I feel is acknowledging and celebrating the milestone achievements related to the change to maintain motivation and morale,” she said. She commended the work of her staff, who “go above and beyond for the students” every day. “Most importantly, this award was not just about me, but about the small amazing and supportive team we have here at Laura State School. Without their commitment and enthusiasm, none of this would be possible.”

Team members at the IBIS Bamaga supermarket have been fine tuning the store’s operations.

The new supermarket in Bamaga will cater for both NPA locals as well as tourists.

Bamaga store to embrace future CAPE York’s remote store operator Community Enterprise Queensland will officially open its new and improved IBIS Bamaga store after it successfully passed the initial trial period. The store, which began construction in September last year, is a first-ever concept store with the goal of improving the shopping experience for remote First Nations communities. CEQ chief executive officer Michael Dykes said the “groundbreaking new store” created an experience for customers that is not currently available in remote communities in Australia.

“By bringing city supermarketstyle shopping, healthier food option, and an array of innovative concepts to Bamaga, CEQ is determined to redefine the retail landscape in the region,” he said. The store includes: • Bulk buys, “Deadly Deals”, exclusive product range not typically found in remote stores; • eMarket kiosks for ordering additional product lines not available in store; • Self-service cafe offering a range of healthy meal options • Active promotion of healthy food options, removal of confectionery from checkouts;

• Instructional resources enabling community members to grow their own produce; • Eco-friendly shopping trolleys made from recycled milk bottles; • Bakery, including fresh bread and rolls; • Merchandising space supporting local First Nations businesses; • Free fruit for children; • Increased shop floor trading area of approximately 800 square metres – almost double the size of the previous store • Energy-efficient refrigeration with backup equipment to prevent loss of product; • Undercover parking and spe-

cial bays for RVs and trailers; and • Unique range and services specially focused on seniors who live in the community; It also features HappyOrNot customer feedback to kiosks to gauge the success of the services offered at the Bamaga store. Mr Dykes said CEQ would use the feedback to decide which initiatives could potentially be rolled out to other IBIS and ABIS stores across CEQ’s remote store network. “These new stores show how we are reinvesting in infrastructure to increase capacity, employment, quality and affordability in com-

munities. We would like to thank the Traditional Owners for their continued support for the community in making this happen,” he said. The official opening will take place at 8.30am on Thursday, with representatives from Ipima Ikaya Native Title Aboriginal Corporation, Apudthama Land Trust, Bamaga People Indigenous Corporation, and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council in attendance. Also appearing will be the CEQ Board of Management, CEQ team members, and the wider community of the Northern Peninsula Area.

October 2023 Community Update MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Congratulations to all those brave and hardy souls that ‘Conquered the Corrugations’, not only overcoming the corrugations but the heat, dust, and flies that are also part of the walk. While it is a colourful and friendly event the message that drives so many to support it is that of mental health. There are so many stories of those who have struggled with mental health issues or have supported loved ones who are doing it tough. We need to keep the focus on this issue to make sure that the professional support and the funding necessary continue to be made available to those in need. Let’s not forget the efforts made by our own Cape York paper boy in his personal challenge to walk from the Archer River to Weipa. Well done Matt, we all hope your feet recover quickly.

Go through your emergency kit, check your house, surrounds and start cleaning up as we lead into cyclone season. Check the dates for the community green waste clean up in your area via our website. - Michael Rowland

OTHER NEWS AROUND TOWN We are now working towards refurbishing sewer manholes across Weipa, aiming to ensure these safe to the public and accessible for maintenance. You may have noticed the street sweeper around town cleaning up our gutters, we will continue this service as we lead up to wet season. Line marking around town will continue through October to November. We ask the community to be mindful of any road signage and adhere to reduced speed limits in place.

The Disaster Expo at SES HQ’s was a huge success with the help from all of the Emergency Services and other agencies that supported it. We can’t afford to allow ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of security by thinking that just because we haven’t had a cyclone for some time now it won’t happen in the future. It’s that time of year again when we start to focus on the upcoming cyclone season. We all need to ensure that we are prepared for the worst, just in case. CONT.

A FAIR SHARE FOR REGIONAL NEWS Regional Australian communities deserve local news as much as our big cities do. Local independent newspapers still connect more than 80% of the country, but currently the commonwealth government invests close to 0% of its advertising budget here. The federal government could help secure the future of regional news with zero extra cost by simply allocating a fairer share of government advertising to local and regional news services. One page per week of important government information in regional newspapers would be a great start. This shouldn’t be controversial. It’s a simple and fair solution for the future of regional news.

Hydrogen tech can shave fuel bill By SARAH MARTIN

CAPE residents could slash fuel bills by 15 per cent with new Chinese technology now being fitted to vehicles in Cooktown. Senza Hydrogen Australia’s sales director Geoff Eberhard is a regular visitor to Cooktown and said people travelling long distances across the Cape would benefit from the technology. “Hydrogen is the next generation fuel and this system allows people in remote areas to help achieve government targets in reducing fuel consumption and minimising vehicle emissions,” Mr Eberhard said. “When I first came across the systems, I could see the immense advantage for consumers in remote areas where fuel costs are often higher and they’re travelling long distances. “The systems can be fitted to basically any motor – four-wheel drive, petrol or diesel, earthmoving and marine.” The Chinese technology uses a hydroliser to convert distilled water into hydrogen, which mixes with fuel and the resulting combustion reduces petrol and diesel use by up to 15 per cent, enhancing engine performance and reducing emissions. Mr Eberhard said with no moving parts and minimum maintenance, the systems often paid for themselves within a year. “We customise the product with

the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics and that maximises fuel reduction. The units generally give a return on investment of between six to 12 months, depending on the vehicle mileage,” he said. Cooktown Tyrepower managing director Greg Whittaker is install-

ing the systems at his Cooktown mechanic workshop, and said they were currently being tested on several of his vehicles. “We’re putting them on two of our tow trucks, so when people come to enquire, we’ll know exactly how good they are,” he said.

“A local freight company is looking at putting one into one of their trucks as well, so we’ll soon have a lot of local data to give to people. “If we can save 15 per cent on our fuel, that’s going to add up a lot, as our fuel is currently cost-

ing the business about $12,000 per month. “The way fuel prices are going, 15 per cent off that is a lot of savings over a year.” For information, visit senzahydrogen.com/australian-distributor. html or visit Cooktown Tyrepower.

Cooktown celebrates with dance

MORE than 100 people booked for a night of boot-scooting fun to celebrate Cooktown’s 150th birthday at the Shire Hall Bush Dance on Saturday. The hall reverberated with the sound of the fiddle, stomping boots and laughter as the crowd worked their way through a range of barn and bush dance styles. Organised by Cook Shire Council, the bush dance is part of celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the town of Cooktown. Upcoming 150th celebratory events include a free barbecue in William Daku Park on Wednesday at 12pm and the Cooktown Archies portrait exhibition awards night at Elizabeth Guzsely Gallery on Friday at 12pm.

Bev Stone with daughter Kim Giese and her family – husband Chook and sons Lucas, Archer and Max – enjoyed a family night out.

Lachlan Hook had his hands full with keen little dancers Odelle and Everleigh Hook.

Soccer club still growing By SARAH MARTIN

THE Cooktown Reefs soccer club continues to grow, with the town’s newest sporting club expanding into adult matches and about to tackle its first competition. The soccer club was started in August by keen locals Cherie Maher and John and Jen Jenyns, whose older kids are all keen players. Ms Jenyns, who is the club’s administrator, said junior numbers had been capped as registrations continued to climb. “We had about 45 kids last term, and now we’re up to 65 and have had to cap the juniors group due to lack of space,” Ms Jenyns said. Ms Maher, who has been playing, coaching and working in the sport and fitness industry for most of her life, is the team’s junior coach. “I didn’t think we’d get this much interest but I’m really really happy with the turnout we’ve had,” Ms Maher said. “We now have a group of six kids coming in from Lakeland, as well as kids from Rossville, Cooktown and Hope Vale, which is exciting.” Ms Maher said for her the motivation behind starting the club was sharing her love of sport and the message to keep active and moving to the region’s youth. “I’ve just started as the Sport and Recreation Officer with Cook Shire Council as well and my goal is to support and embrace everyone’s sport in the region, not just because it’s my job but because I would do it anyway – it’s about kids being healthy,” she said.

There was no shortage of fun at the Carpentaria Golf Club on Saturday as the ladies of Weipa dressed up for a social day of novelty golf to raise money for the Jane McGrath Foundation. In total, $10,631 was raised for the charity.

Reefs Cooktown Football Club junior coach Cherie Maher said numbers have been capped due to overwhelming demand in the club’s second term.

The Reefs train every Wednesday at Endeavour Christian College’s undercover area – follow their Facebook page for more information.
