Weipa man nabbed in police sting
Rape charges A WEIPA man is facing court charged with multiple serious child sex and drug offences. The 46-year-old Weipa resident was arrested on September 27 by Weipa CIB and charged with two counts of rape, five counts of procuring a young person, 10 counts of supplying drugs to a minor and two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16. He was also charged with
grooming a child and unlawful carnal knowledge of a child under 16. He appeared in the Weipa Magistrates Court on September 28 and was granted bail with conditions to reside in Cairns. Electronic devices seized by police have been forensically examined, and police say further alleged offences have been identified. On Thursday, Far North Child Protection and Investigation Unit
detectives searched a Mount Sheridan home and charged the man with a further five counts of supplying dangerous drugs to a minor, 10 counts of use of a carriage service to access child abuse material and one count of possessing child abuse material. Police will allege the youths were groomed, indecently assaulted and supplied with drugs including methylamphetamine.
The charges came as part of Operation Uniform Kalihari, a police investigation into the alleged grooming and exploitation of young people in the Far North. To date, detectives have charged 11 men and two women with 301 offences as part of the operation. The 46-year-old Weipa man is next due to appear in the Cairns Magistrates Court on Friday, November 24.

Gun club thanks firies for their efforts ON behalf of members of the local Cooktown Gun Club, The Sporting Shooters Association Cape York Branch on Cameron Creek Road, I write to thank all those people who worked tirelessly over the weekend of October 21 and 22 to protect our club assets and infrastructure. Also, for the ongoing days to secure other properties from the fire’s destructive path. Without these volunteers, our club and the community would have lost everything. I am reluctant to try to name all who were involved for fear of not naming every im-
portant person who fought this fire, however there are some that must be acknowledged. They are: Noel Mitchell, Malcolm McCollum, Al Rogers, Mick and Anne Williams, Barretts Creek Rural Fire Brigade and other Cooktown fire crews, the Disaster Management Team, Fire Com and any others responsible for the ongoing co-ordination. The fire was extremely erratic crossing some of the club’s 7km registered fire breaks as well as other roads, creating more spot fires. It is estimated that of the 1000 acres of the parcel of land under the club’s
lease, only 25 acres of land was not touched by fire. A firebombing helicopter was bought in on the Sunday and the club’s dam provided easy access to water to manage the spot fires in dense bushland which started on Cameron Creek Road opposite the gun club. We are all so grateful and thankful for everyone’s massive effort, I cannot thank you all enough. Jim Willams, president of the Cooktown Gun Club, the Sporting Shooters Association Cape York Branch

EVERY secret spot, creek and special hang around Cooktown was bristling with lines, lures and keen fishers as nearly 900 anglers vied for a brand-new boat in the annual Sovereign Resort Barramundi Competition over the weekend. A record 881 entrants, including 317 kids, spread out from Cooktown on Friday for two days of fishing fun, with the ultimate goal of hooking the mystery weight fish and taking home a boat, outboard and trailer. Sovereign Resort Hotel assistant manager Greta Watson said the top prize was incredibly close, with multiple fish all tipping the scales at the 2.75kg weight drawn by competition sponsor Russell Bowman. “It was so close with nine entrants each weighing in a barra at 2.75kg, and with the top three under 500g away from the winning weight, saying it was a close call is an understatement,” Ms Watson said. But there can only be one winner, and Cooktown local Brooke Prior was the lucky angler who will be fishing in a brand new tinny from here on out, with a 2.75kg barra and her second fish only 0.13kg away from the mystery weight putting her in top spot. “I’m still in shock, I’m so excited,” Ms Prior said.

“We didn’t even know what the weight of our fish was, we heard what the mystery weight was, but didn’t know what ours weighed so had no idea until they called out my name!” Ms Prior and partner Bart Harrison took the family fishing at Lakefield, and said she had competed in every single Sovereign barra event. “We’re going to keep the boat, 100 per cent, we’re going to take it on a girls’ trip, I’ve already got that planned. “We’ve been in the barra comp since day dot, and as the kids have come along we take them too, they love it. “The Sovereign team do the

best job, we just love the barra comp and will be taking our new boat out next year to keep supporting it.” Also weighing in barra at 2.75kg, but with second fish farther from the mystery weight, or no second fish, were Timothy Hart-Yoren, Georgia Johnson, Marley Sharp, Justin Coventry, Ryan Nash, David Spadina, Coral Thompson and Richie Lonie. Cortana Ross took out the kid’s barra section with a 2.65kg fish, as well as the kid’s jack category with a 1.4kg fish. Other winners in the kids’ barra category were Liam LeeCheu, Halo McIvor, Devon’Jael Deemal, Tristan Lee-Cheu and
Zackariah Yoren. Taking home prizes in the kids jack’ section were Tex Sydenham, Mack Grayson, Mitchell Kaye and Stormi Kershaw. Dave Kamholtz won the adult jack category, joined on the podium by Ethan Hohn and Mark Chambers. “What an unreal turnout it was this year, and a special thank you to all our sponsors, especially The Lure Shop Cooktown, XXXX and ALM,” Ms Watson said. “But most of all a big thank you to everyone who turned up to fish, and a huge congratulations to our 2023 winner Brooke Prior!” More pictures – Page 13

A FIRE lit by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service just days before an unprecedented Capewide total fire ban has escaped and burnt out hundreds of thousands of hectares of private property near Lakeland. On Thursday, exhausted residents were facing another night of backburning with the huge blaze holding steady at containment lines on Mount Gibson Station. Despite initially denying any responsibility for the fires when questioned by Cape York Weekly and laying the blame on arsonists, QPWS eventually admitted that a planned burn had escaped. “On 10 October, QPWS began a planned burn near Piccaninny Creek in the Mount Windsor National Park,” a QPWS spokesperson said. “The planned burn moved beyond containment lines and has impacted on neighbouring properties and bushland.” The impact was definitely felt in Lakeland, with The Brothers station owner Steve Ahlers and other residents left fighting a 40 km firefront on their own. “Lakeland Downs has been half burnt out, my sister has lost half of everything and if we can’t pull it up, it’ll burn out Laura,” Mr Ahlers said. “I think it’s burnt 400,000 hectares so far. It’s come right through the hills from Mount Windsor through the back of Maitland and cleaned out a big area. “My poor sister and her husband are in their 70s. Everyone is there fighting it. We were out until 2 am and we’ve been out the last few nights.” Another Lakeland resident, who did not want to be named, said one QPWS unit had been assisting in the firefight, but it wasn’t until several days later that more units arrived to help. With fires burning across

the Cape and ravaging the Darling Downs and other areas of Queensland, resources are stretched thin, but Queensland Fire and Emergency Services still scrambled crews to assist Lakeland. A QFES spokesperson said the firies weren’t notified of the out of control burn until five days later, on Sunday (15 October). “QFES actively engaged with QPWS and landholders in response to this fire, with strike teams supported by aerial assets, including water bombing and
intelligence-gathering aircraft,” they said. Mr Ahlers said somebody in QPWS needed to be held accountable for the disaster. “When the rest of the country is on high alert, they seem to be able to invent a fire permit inhouse and feel that they’re not responsible for their actions,” he said. “Somebody needs to be held accountable.” The blaze comes on the back of repeated arson in the Cape, with fires ravaging Piccaninny Plains Wildlife Reserve, threat-
ening the township of Aurukun and burning unchecked across swathes of cattle country and bush last week, as well as a blaze near Cooktown which threatened homes on 22 October. A total fire ban has been 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 since 19 October.

Youth camps to help teens in Lockhart LOCKHART River’s Puuya Foundation will begin on-country camps to support the wellbeing of young residents after receiving a $10,000 FRRR ABC Heywire grant. The Kuunchi Kakana Walking in Wellness Project will take youth out on country with respected Elders in the community, offering early intervention and therapeuticbased activities to support social and emotional wellbeing. Puuya Foundation CEO Emma Schuch explained that the project filled gaps in therapeutic services in a culturally appropriate way. “Indigenous people have their own cultural mechanisms in responding to challenges in the social and emotional space, and not everyone goes and seeks a mainstream therapeutic service,” she said. She explained that guidance from Elders would be an integral part of helping Indigenous youth to “navigate life’s obstacles”. “Our Elders have been there, done that. They know what’s needed for a young person to become a confident and active member of our community,” she said.
“I’m confident that our respected Elders would be able to get their attention for that time on camp and get them to see that they are the next generation coming up.” The Walking in Wellness Project will complement the currently running SONG Project (Strengthening Our Next Generation), which focuses on school attendance and education pathways. “The youth came up with ideas of what they thought would be appropriate to complement the current programs that they were doing, and we found that there lack of social and emotional wellbeing support,” she said. “We’ll definitely focus on building a safe space for Lockhart River youth and their families.” The grant will allow the organisation to get the resources necessary for the camps. “This $10,000 will assist in purchasing our camping equipment, with fuel going out on country, food and a qualified social and emotional wellbeing social worker,” she explained. The first Walking in Wellness camp is set to take place next year.

New director at Cape York NRM CAPE York Natural Resource Management welcomed a new director at its recent AGM as the previous director focuses on her role as CEO. Cape York Land Council senior community and stakeholder engagement officer Michelle FridayMooka has joined the CYNRM board of directors in place of Pip Schroor. “We’re very excited about her,” CYNRM chair Sally Gray said. “She comes with lots of experience, lots of knowledge and lots of connections across the Cape York region. We now have a really diverse and skilled board of directors.” Ms Gray explained it was a positive time of change for the NRM, which had appointed its first female CEO this year and will be changing its funding base. “The five-year round of federal funding across Australia for NRM bodies have concluded, so we’re at a moment of change of our base funding and a moment of change of priorities of what’s delivered across the region,” she said.
$480,000
Ms Gray said it had especially strengthened ongoing projects unrelated to that stream of funding, such as the Western Cape Turtle Threat Abatement Alliance and the Feral Pig Management Strategy. “It’s really significant that the groups are so engaged and it’s a real flagship program for the communities and for CYNRM.” The conclusion of federal funding does bring about some financial challenges for the NRM, but Ms Gray was confident that it would be an exciting new chapter to explore other opportunities. “The challenges are that we are now starting new programs because the programs that were funded in the previous five years have concluded, but I know that there’s going to be really great new opportunities for different priorities and different focuses with different communities.” She said CYNRM would continue to tackle one of its biggest challenges, the booming tourism industry. “The increase in the tourist population impacts our environment, resources, water and garbage.”

Sea Swift CEO quits after just one year SEA Swift CEO Dwayne Freeman has resigned suddenly a little over 12 months after taking the helm of northern Australia’s largest shipping company. Mr Freeman, who came on board in July 2022 to replace Rochelle Macdonald, who lasted less than a year in the top job, resigned just days after the
three-year-overdue arrival of new cargo vessel Newcastle Bay II. It’s been a tough few years for Sea Swift, with mounting exasperation over the new vessel’s late arrival, a COVID outbreak in Mr Freeman’s first week in the job, a nearly 15 per cent cargo cost hike in his second month
and community pressure over slow deliveries. Sea Swift did not respond to questions regarding the high turnover in the top job and customer confidence in the company. Recruitment for a new CEO began the day Mr Freeman’s resignation was announced on 24
October, with Sea Swift director Chris Pearce stepping into the role in an acting capacity. The shipping company has provided services and project freight in northern Australia for more than 35 years with depots in Cairns, Weipa, Seisia, Horn Island, Badu Island, and Thursday Island.
NEWS IN BRIEF Arts funding boost ARTS organisations and artists will have a bigger slice of the funding pie next year, with the State Government boosting the Regional Arts Development Fund by $104,000. RADF, in partnership with local councils, supports the work of local artists and arts workers and provides a platform for their professional development. Successful RADF projects in Cook Shire have included public sculptures, art workshops and history projects. Applications for Cook Shire Council’s RADF program are open twice yearly, with details available on their website.
Community fund launched WHAT could your community group do with $10,000? That’s the question Ergon is asking, as applications open for the 2023 ErgonEnergex Community Fund. The fund is open to grassroots groups across Queensland, with a focus on initiatives that make a lasting difference to local communities, including projects with a focus on environmental sustainability. Successful applicants from the 2022 funding round included Karumba’s Volunteer Marine Rescue group, which installed solar panels and batteries on its rescue vessel. Applications can be made at ergon.com. au and close on Friday 24 November.
Shire gets funding
Cooktown firefighters John James, David Kamholtz, Brianna Vela, Campbell Venables and Marcus Jarmyn training hard.
Brigade welcomes recruit AS Cooktown’s firefighters brace for the bushfire season and recover from recent callouts, including a Cameron Creek Road blaze which threatened homes last week, they continue to maintain a gruelling training schedule to ensure a speedy response during emergencies. The Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Cooktown Auxiliary Brigade recently challenged the team to complete a
gruelling 6-km round hike up rugged Mt Cook in full personal protective equipment (PPE) and breathing apparatus. Firefighter Katie Hooker said a good level of fitness was needed to attend emergency events, such as the recent bushfires. “We always work together and individually to maintain our fit-for-task physical and mental health,” Ms Hooker said. “It might not be so challeng-
ing to walk up Mt Cook in exercise gear, carrying the extra 25 kg really gets your heart and lungs working.” Ms Hooker said exercising in PPE also helped the team prepare for the scorching conditions they faced during incidents when decked out in full turn-out gear. “But everyone is smiling in the photo, as you can see,” she said.
“The camaraderie at Cooktown fire station is just awesome.” New recruit John James was rewarded with more than the view on completion of the hike, with the presentation of his own firefighting helmet. Mr James has been training hard for the past nine months in preparation for two weeks of intensive training to become a level 1 firefighter.
A $1 MILLION boost to the 2024-27 tranche of Works For Queensland funding would be a welcome shot in the arm for the largest local government in Queensland, Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott said. The four-year funding pot will increase to $300 million to be shared across the State’s regional councils to support infrastructure projects such as water and sewerage upgrades, housing and economic development. Cr Scott said with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometres and a population of under 5000, it was no secret Cook Shire’s rates revenue didn’t come close to covering the council’s costs. “Factor in ongoing maintenance and the cost of depreciation of Council assets and facilities, and it’s easy to see why our Shire relies so heavily on grants,” he said. “More than 86% of our revenue comes from state and federal funding and an increase to our Works for Queensland funding is a great boost for our communities.”

signs Washed up message in a Shire MoU with bottle creates friendships health org By SARAH MARTIN
WHILE bottles washed up on the beach are a common sight, Victorian tourist Glenn Swaik was amazed to find one with a message inside on a remote Cape York beach. Mr Swaik was travelling with a four-wheel-drive tour group on a bucket list trip to the tip when he found the missive, as recounted by fellow traveller Greg Jacobsen. “We camped at a beautiful beach at Captain Billy’s Landing on our return trip,” Mr Jacobsen said. “The beach was spectacular but was littered with a host of marine debris – lo and behold, Glenn found a message in a bottle amongst a lot of sea litter.” Mr Jasobsen said the group of 11 travellers and their tour guides gathered round at dinner that night to read the message, written on an A5 sheet of paper, and were excited to find the writer lived in Brisbane. Wendy Smith and her two daughters were cruising about halfway between Australia and New Zealand aboard the Coral Princess in January when they each launched a wine bottle with a message. Mr Jacobsen said the bottle’s finder wasn’t interested in keep-

ing the bottle, which was rapidly becoming a smelly mess as the live barnacles on the outside rotted. “Knowing that I was a collector of ‘stuff’, the bottle was offered to me and once home I aired it out and made a silky oak rack and case, and reattached a few of the barnacles to give it some authenticity,” Mr Jacobsen said. The note initially travelled back to Melbourne with Glenn and Wilma Swaik, but has now been returned to the bottle, which remains in Mr Jacobsen’s small museum of curios.
g all Weipa Busine sses!!
“Glenn, Wilma and I have been in regular contact with Wendy in Brisbane,” Mr Jacobsen said. “The ironic thing is, we picked up a leaflet in Coen saying they were doing a beach cleanup at Captain Billy’s Landing the very next day.” Mr Jacobsen and Wendy are now planning to meet up in Brisbane for a chat. “I wonder how many messages in a bottle ever get recovered. This is one fantastic story that has brought some great people together,” Mr Jacobsen said.
Brisbane traveller Wendy threw her message overboard in the Tasman Sea in January.
COOK Shire has formalised its commitment to Closing the Gap and improving community health and wellbeing, with councillors approving a memorandum of understanding with the state’s health promotion body. Mayor Peter Scott said data compiled by Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Services showed the shire was underperforming in most key health determinants. “The media age of death is 60 here, but it’s 80 in the rest of Queensland,” he said. “We have more underweight babies, overweight mothers, smokers and risky drinkers compared to the rest of the state and we want to turn that around.” The council will work with Health and Wellbeing Queensland, a state body that works with stakeholders to reduce risk factors that lead to chronic disease. “By formalising this partnership, we aim to increase engagement and collaboration and deliver more programs that promote health and wellbeing in our communities,” Cr Scott said. “Key issues that have been highlighted in Cook Shire and also our neighbouring shires of Hope Vale and Wujal Wujal are food insecurity, physical inactivity and environmental health issues.”

School blown away by donations DONATIONS have flooded in to Western Cape College after a call for evening wear to use at the school formal blew up on social media. What started as a simple email to the school’s teaching staff requesting dresses, suits, shoes and jewellery ended up reaching businesses and kind strangers across the country from Byron Bay, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide. “One of our amazing art teachers, Nicola Campbell, sent a message to an Instagram account called Dreamtime Aroha,” Western Cape College head of department for retention Sarah Tonon said. She explained that Dreamtime Aroha is a proudly Aboriginalowned business that crafts handmade Jarjum dollies and Aboriginal Art, with 62,000 followers on Instagram. Ms Campbell wasn’t expecting a response, but got one immediately asking for details on what was needed for the formal. “Dreamtime Aroha popped up a post on their socials and within hours there were hundreds of comments with offers of donations and over 1200 shares,” Ms Tonon said. The first lot of donations including earrings, make-up, shoes, heels, dresses, perfumes and clutches arrived last Friday (October 20). “We received over 30 parcels,” she said. “Students were elated when
Western Cape College students received donations from across the country to dress up for their school formal. INSET – Department of Retention Head Sarah Tonon has seen off several graduating classes in her seven years at the school.
opening up the parcels and starting the process of cataloguing and then of course trying on.” She explained that the support shown for this year’s graduating class “has been a great conversation starter of how social media can be used for positivity”. “They are blown away by the kindness and generosity of complete strangers,” she said.
The donated items are available not just to graduating students, but any members of the community attending the formal. “We would love something that mums and grandmas can wear along with formal dresses, men’s shirts, suits, jackets, socks, shoes, brand new makeup and hygiene products,” she said. With the number of donations
on the way, the school will have a surplus to their needs this year, but none of it will go unused. This year, there are 59 year 12 graduates, but next year, there will be more than 95 students graduating from the school. “Our donations will be utilised for years to come!” Western Cape College is also looking to share what they receive
with any other Cape schools needing formal wear, and will be setting up a formal store out of Napranum in the coming weeks. Donations can be made to the Western Cape College Secondary office. The formal will be held on Wednesday, 15 November, at the Albatross Bay Resort. – story by Chisa Hasegawa

New team to help protect community A NEW community maintenance team has been appointed in Hope Vale following seven weeks of work experience as part of the Cook Region Community Development Program (CDP). The eight-person team is clearing yards and maintaining gardens for residents to improve cyclone and bushfire safety and pride in community appearance. The CDP is a joint partnership between My Pathway and local Indigenous providers to deliver a paid work experience program. It aims to create new employment in the region by supporting participants to undertake seven or 13 weeks of work experience and training. “Our paid work experience program supports participants to enhance job readiness, build skills and achieve qualifications, all while earning an income,” My Pathway regional manager Josie Flores said. She explained the program also allowed employers to trial workers and assess the value of possible future roles. “Employers who can provide safe work opportunities benefit
from the additional labour, the chance to trial potential employees and test the viability of new roles.” The recent work experience program was hosted by Hope Vale Foundation, which has since created eight new roles in community maintenance and construction projects. The new employees are currently clearing yards for up to five residences a day and will progress to cemetery refurbishments and other infrastructure updates. Travis Bally said that respect and mateship had underpinned his experience. “We’ve been able to go through this experience together. We’re all good mates and we work as a team,” he said. “This work allows me to give back to the community and help out people who don’t have access to lawnmowers or tools. It’s about making things safer and tidier and showing respect for community.” The program is available to employers in the Cook region who can provide work experience for participants. All employment preparation, support, insurance, payroll and training are coordinated through the CDP.
his python was captured swallowing another python in Cape York’s remote Wildlife Sanctuary. Photo: Supplied.
Python cannablism captured PICCANINNY Plains Wildlife Sanctuary is no stranger to rare and unique wildlife encounters, but a python spotted eating another python was surprising even in the remote centre of Cape York. Sanctuary manager Nick Stock was walking along the banks of the Archer River when he spotted a Black-headed Python wrapped around another creature. As he got closer, he noticed that the python’s prey was snake-like, and also had a matching black head – the black-headed python was about to eat a smaller black-headed python alive. “It was a surprise at first, but I feel fortunate to witness such an event,” he said. Mr Stock explained that although he has seen the black-headed python eat other snake species, this was the first time he’d seen one eat its own kind. Unfortunately for the snake, it wasn’t quick, giving Mr Stock plenty of time to get a camera.

“Fortunately for me, but not so fortunately for the python being consumed, it took around 15 minutes from when I first witnessed the initial constriction to the python finishing its meal and returning to its burrow about 10 feet away,” he said. Cannibalism is known to occur with this species in captivity, but capturing the event in the wild is another story, Australian Wildlife Conservancy ecologist Dr Helena Stokes said. “Although cannibalism has been witnessed in this species in captivity and has been reported in the wild, getting images or footage of such an event in the wild is quite unusual,” she explained. She added that though it wasn’t a regular occurrence, she wasn’t surprised that the species would consume one of its own when given the chance. “Black-headed pythons prefer to eat reptiles over mammals and are known to eat larger reptiles including goannas, and even venomous snakes.”
Council marks milestone with community barbecue A CROWD of residents and visitors gathered at Cooktown’s William Daku Park on Wednesday (25 October), 150 years to the day since government officials named the site Cook’s Town. Cook Shire Council threw a free community barbecue with guest speakers to mark the important occasion, despite backlash from some Indigenous residents who likened the event to celebrating genocide. Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott said the occasion was a chance to look back on the past but also look forward to a positive future. “Cooktown was the site of the first re-
corded act of reconciliation in 1770, between Cook and his crew and the Guugu Yimithirr people, and today we still have something really special here that people appreciate,” Cr Scott said. “Even though we’re commemorating 150 years of the town in October, there is such a rich history prior to that and the beaut story of the great interaction between the Guugu Yimithirr and Cook.” The event was attended by community members, as well as Guugu Yimithirr Elders and members of the Cairns and District Chinese Association.

Ribbon cut to officially open Napranum’s school By SARAH MARTIN
A TRADESMAN’S dream in Melbourne eight years ago has finally turned into reality in Napranum, with the Kluthuthu Christian College officially opened on Friday. The idea for the school, which has been operating since February, sprung from a 2015 dream Mark Howard shared with his wife Avril, a doctor of education. “In my dream, I walked into a room where people were playing pool and on the table was a map of Australia,” Mr Howard explained. “As I’m looking at this map, one of the people said ‘we can start a Christian school here’ and the word Weipa appeared at the top of the map.” Mr Howard said he had never heard of Weipa, but after Googling it, he and his wife booked plane tickets for the Cape and soon heard that nearby Napranum had no school. “For me that was confirma-
The ribbon is cut to officially open the school.
tion that I needed to come and put a school there, and so started the long eight-year journey to get that school started,” he said. Mr Howard said he had to acknowledge the hard work of his wife, Dr Avril Howard, and other educators involved in the project for their tireless efforts
with the administration behind starting a school. “I might have had a dream and they call me the founder, but my wife (and others) were really the ones who did all the hard work, all the heavy lifting,” he said. As well as financial and ad-
ministrative hurdles, with the school privately funded, on the ground consultation and construction met numerous roadblocks, Mr Howard said. “It was not an easy task, we had delay after delay, if it wasn’t the wet season, it was COVID, or a lack of supplies,” he said. “But it was the Elders who kept asking us to come back, and that really motivated me to keep going.” Principal Vernon Clark said the non-denominational school, which is affiliated with Christian Schools Australia, had classes for Prep to Year 6 “We started with 13 students in February, and we now have 24, with three more enrolling last week,” Mr Clark said. “Things are really happening, it’s slow and steady, but we are moving in the right direction.” The school, which has capped class numbers at 10 to ensure high teacher to student ratios, is already discussing adding more classes to cater for the growing number of enrolments.
AN alleged fight between two students escalated into a full lockdown of the primary and secondary campuses at Cooktown P-12 State School last Wednesday. Parents were given scant and conflicting information about the incident, with one parent reporting a teacher told them the lockdown was only a drill, despite the school sending parents a message confirming the lockdown. “Cooktown State School. Lockdown occurred today was a high school disruption, no danger to students or staff,” the short message sent to parents said. A Department of Education spokesperson confirmed the school enacted a “precautionary lockdown” at 2pm in response to what they described as “an escalated non-violent student behaviour incident”. “The lockdown was carried out in a calm manner and the situation was safely deescalated by staff,” the spokesperson said. “Classes resumed as normal at approximately 2.10pm. No staff or students were harmed during the incident – ongoing counselling and support services are available for those who require it.”
Aunty Rose’s legacy lives on TORRES and Cape Hospital and Health Service board chair Ella Kris has paid tribute to Kuku Yalanji Elder Aunty Rose Richards, whose lifetime of dedication has supported hundreds of Cape York women and children. “I would like to pay tribute to an amazing and inspirational woman who dedicated her life to improving health services for First Nations people right across Far North Queensland,” Ms Kris said. “Many of our First Nations women and children from across Cape York, the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area have benefitted from the work Aunty Rose has done over her decades of public service.” Aunty Rose, along with sisters Aunty Esme Hudson and Aunty Bonnie Simpson, began taking expectant and new mums into their homes in Cairns in the 1970s after recognising the difficulties for First Nations families leaving their community to give birth in Cairns. The trio established Rosie’s Farm hostel in the 1980s, a facility which developed into Mookai Rosie Bi-Bayan (Aunty Rosie’s place) in 2010. Aunty Rose passed away in Cairns Base Hospital on 9 October, aged 92.

NPA artists take QATSIF by storm NORTHERN Peninsula Area State College’s talented student artists have blitzed the field with a raft of awards from a state-wide competition. Eleven NPA senior students placed in the annual Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Foundation Creative Arts Competition, which is open to all First Nations high school students in the state. Year 8 student Robert Poi Poi, whose detailed illustration won third place in the drawing category for his age, said his art was an important way to share his voice. “I like my friends hearing me, and I like telling them about my drawings, especially four-wheeldrives and riding around country on my quad bike,” he said. Fellow Year 8 student MaryJane Namai’s colourful abstract piece reflected her strong interest in and connection with her culture and country, she said. “I’m a proud Wuthathi teenager and my painting is about the colour I see in my world,” she said. “I love my world, I love learning about my family tree – I like seeing how much family I have and how many ancestors come before me because the culture I’m from makes me feel strong.”

NPA classmates Antwone Wasiu, Yohanna Pablo, Esther Yoelu, Luceva Tamwoy, Riki Niudan and Robert Atu received highly commended awards, while Felton Namoi was second in Year 8 drawing, Phillip Woosup won first in Year 8 sculpture and Imasu Phair came third in Year 9 print art. QATSIF secretariat director and former school principal Michael Nayler said there had been a re-

cord number of entries in the annual competition. “We had a record 189 entries, which is almost double from last year. We want to encourage cultural pride in school kids across Queensland and it’s open to every school in Queensland,” he said. The competition is advertised through schools and runs during the first two school terms each year.

Realtor carrying on family legacy
LONGTIME Cooktown local Ariah Bolton has real estate in her veins, but likes to think of herself as more of a matchmaker than a salesperson. The Cooktown Real Estate sales manager stepped into mother Karen Olsen’s big shoes after her shock death in 2017, and said she is proud to be carrying on the family legacy of a local agency for locals. “She’d always talked to me about coming back and working with her and I guess she got her wish in the end,” Ms Bolton said. “I feel like I’m carrying on mum’s legacy with the local’s agency that people can trust. “I call myself more of a matchmaker, you have to find the property that suits the person or the person that suits the property.” Ms Olsen started the business, then called Rainforest Real Estate, in 1989 and soon established one of the first full-time real estate offices in Cooktown. Always up for a laugh, Ms Olsen later built “Trust Me House” on Charlotte Street, along with newspaper owner Peter Stapley and solicitor David Kempton. “It was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek, calling it ‘Trust Me House’,” Ms Bolton said. “Having a real estate, a lawyer and a newspaper and at one point we even had someone selling used cars as well.” Ms Bolton got her sales licence
Cooktown Real Estate’s Ariah Bolton loves matching clients with properties, following in the footsteps of her late mother, Karen Olsen.
at age 18 and began working in the family business, but soon got itchy feet and left to explore. “I’d just gotten a job at Weipa, I wanted to be closer to home and was planning a trip back to Cooktown to see mum on my first break when I got the news she had passed away,” Ms Bolton said. “Within a week I was here in Cooktown and just hit the ground running.” Along with longtime staffer
Merle O’Doherty, the real estate employs keen young local Kasey Meldrum in sales and Katie Schurmann as property manager. Ms Bolton has just sealed a match made in heaven for local pet owners, securing office space for Tableland Veterinary Service to have a vet in town for two weeks a month. “It will be great having the vets in town, it will give us so much peace of mind,” she said.
“The office space is perfect, it has main street frontage, disabled access and parking at the rear and two rooms inside.” Ms Bolton has also branched into managing short-term holiday accommodation, and is building a website aimed at being a one-stop shop for visitors to book accommodation and find out about what to see and do in the area. “We want to allow owners to have more freedom to enjoy their
properties, come up and visit and stay when they like, or have guests when they like and take the hassle away for them,” she said. “We’re also aiming to promote our shoulder season, we want to advertise the amazing lightning that’s so great to watch, the fishing, the million-dollar marlin boats coming in, the birdwatching and the beautiful weather we are getting which so many visitors miss out on at this time of year.”

SPORT IN BRIEF Women heading out to raise both fish and funds Ventner wins Dawnies
By CHISA HASEGAWA
AROUND 20 boats are predicted to participate in the 11th Weipa Billfish Club Annual Ladies Gamefish Day, which will be the first tournament with a naming rights sponsor in the quest to rally women against breast cancer. Titled the Clearwater Ladies Gamefish Day this year, the tournament has gained the support of Clearwater Law, as well as several local and out-of-town sponsorships. Tournament organiser Darryl French said the support they receive from the community every year was overwhelming. “It’s really great that we’ve got sponsorships from a lot of
local businesses that get hit up for sponsorship by a whole lot of events in town every year and they still come forward,” he said. “We’ve also got sponsorships from outside of town from the likes of Cairns and the Brisbane area, so it’s pretty widespread this year and we’ve been able to get some really good prizes.” There will be 22 prize categories, awarding teams for heaviest gamefish, heaviest billfish, best-dressed boat, champion anglers and raffle draws. This year, they hope to beat the $8000 raised at the last tournament. Though dependent on weather, French said they are predict-
ing to match their record participation numbers, which was 20 boats at last year’s competition. “It’s always a bit of a lottery because everyone sort of waits to see what the weather will be like, but we’re thinking it should be about the same,” he said. With almost 45 sponsors this year rallying around for a good cause, he encouraged lady anglers across the community to get involved. “It’s about getting women together in an event all about them and raising money for a really important cause.” The tournament fundraises for the McGrath Foundation, an organisation that places breast cancer nurses into remote com-
munities at no cost. “It’s important to the residents because they’ve all had friends or family that have been affected by breast cancer so it hits close to home,” French explained. Registrations for the Clearwater Ladies Gamefish Day are now open, with chance to win the early bird raffle draw for teams entered by 30 October. Nominations should be emailed to weipabillfishclub@ gmail.com with the nomination form available on the club’s Facebook page. Fishing will take place on Saturday and weigh-in will follow at the boat ramp. For more information and rules, see the Weipa Billfish Club Facebook page.
EUGENE Ventner was Sunday’s Dawn Busters golf winner at Weipa, beating Simon Syles for the honours. Viv Dick took the Hoffman’s in a small field, while Jon Dall won the longest drive competition.
Back-to-back Beacroft CONSISTENCY is something every golfer strives for and Ron Beacroft has it in spades after winning yet again in Saturday’s red tee stroke event at the Cooktown Golf Club. His gross 90, nett 62 and 40 points was good enough to hold off the power hitting Sam Godfrey-Roberts, who had 70 off the stick for a nett 65 and 35 points. In third was John McArthur with a gross 80, nett 65 and 35 points. Nearest to pins went to McArthur on 2/11, Paul Humphreys on 14 and Chris Hatton on 9/18. This Saturday is the Sovereign Resort November Medal from the white tees.
