Remembering Evan Fielder: “He was our coach�

SEAN DENT

WHAT can you say about a nineteen-yearold boy who died? That he was beautiful. And Brilliant. That he loved tennis, and coaching.

And the kids.

Evan Fielder, 19, and his girlfriend Lauren Quabba, 16, died in a head-on car crash last week. The details are still unravelling: the car that hit them was believed to be on the wrong side of the road, and the driver was said to have drugs and a bong in the car with him, but all that mattered to Evan’s friends last Friday in a touching tribute was that they’d lost a friend.

Over a hundred kids and parents turned up at Tully Tennis Club at the back of the Showgrounds to send Evan off. Some kids and parents had come down from Cairns for the event. Despite the tragedy, the mood was light for most of the evening. Some hit tennis balls, a few hung around together by the fence or

sat in the umpire chairs, some played a bit of footy, some just sat and talked. It had been some days since most people had learned about the tragic accident.

The news hit the community hard last week.

Cherie Jenkins, Health and Physical Education Teacher at St Clare’s said that a lot of the kids found out for the first time when they got to class on Monday. “It was just a brutal day,� she said.

Many brought flowers to lay at a makeshift memorial of tennis balls stuck in a fence spelling the words RIP EVAN that overlooked the tennis courts where they’d created memories with the young man who was referred to as the future of tennis.

Tim Murphy, President of the tennis club, said that Evan had coached many of the kids in the region and was loved by them and their parents. Murphy attempted to relieve the tension on the night and

maybe bring some closure by having kids play and fool around just like they would do if Evan was there. After about an hour, he called everyone together; he again tried to keep it light as the majority of the crowd consisted of kids who Evan had coached.

Before the laying of the flowers, Murphy asked everyone if they wanted to chance to say something. Looking into their faces, the answer seemed to be yes, they wanted to say something, they all had a story of Evan, but no one felt up to the task, the pain was still fresh and they were too young to speak about their mentor. One young boy found himself leaning into his dad and holding tight. Others looked to each other for solace and maybe inspiration that everything was going to be okay.

Later, without the glare of the throng upon them, some spoke. Comments went along the lines of, “Extremely dedicated, very professional,

easy going, extremely liked. A lot of kids saw him more of a big brother than a coach, but their tennis was improving out of sight. His ability wasn’t lacking because of his years.�

Fielder employed a games-based approach to coaching that made his lessons fun and brought the kids back sometimes multiple times a week.

He coached with his father Wayne under the name Baseline Tennis in Innisfail, Tully, and Mission Beach for some years and had expanded into Cairns last July.

Katie-Ann Flegler was one of the parents whose kids had been coached by the young man. He used to give her a hard time, staring at his watch incredulously when she’d arrive slightly early for lessons because she was always late. She said they had a great back and forth relationship where she’d throw sarcastic comments his way and he’d respond as if she were serious. “We’re feeling

for his dad, Wayne, but also for the wonderful opportunities he lost, all the hope and joy that was lost. It hit the school hard because he wasn’t long from there. There’s definitely going to be a huge hole and he’ll never be forgotten. He was our coach.�

Throughout the evening, people wrote tributes on cardboard tennis balls or hearts: their favourite stories of Evan or why they loved him. “We will miss you lots�, “You were the best coach�, “I luv how we used to joke around�, “The first day Evan was my coach, I hit him with my tennis racket�.

After the short ceremony, Murphy turned on the floodlights so the kids could play as late as they liked. The parents fired up the BBQ, opened a few tinnies, and talked while the kids played.

Evan’s sister, Maddy, turned 13 on the day of the memorial. More memorials were scheduled for Earlville, Mission Beach, and Innisfail.

Budding Young Actors Prepare to Tread Boards for Two Performances of Christmas Wizard of Oz

MARIA GIRGENTI

SINCE February, a group of local students have been working hard behind the scenes learning lines and rehearsing twice a week at the Con Theatre busily preparing for their production of A Christmas Wizard of Oz on November 22 and 23 at Con Theatre.

Innisfail Dramatic Arts, under the professional direction of local theatre lover, Erika Swiney will present A Christmas Wizard of Oz adapted by playwright, Kathryn Schultz

Miller and performed by a cast of 26 children aged from four to 15 who have formed a special bond and worked well as a team.

Swiney has been ably assisted by Angela Leutton with her creativity and props, as well as makeup artists, Charlie Russo and Vanessa Chiarotto, and is extremely grateful to Cassowary Coast Regional Council for the use of their venue.

A Christmas Wizard of Oz is very similar to the classic story, which Swiney said she was inspired to do as this year

marks the 80th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz. "It's been an enjoyable journey down memory lane as it brought me back to my childhood, and I believe we have kept our version very close to the real classic story."

Dorothy from Kansas needs to make it home in time for Christmas, but along the way she encounters lots of characters and challenges and then has to defeat the wicked witch.

Three girls are playing dual roles as elfins and reindeers and four Dorothys of different ages, as Swiney said her interpreta-

tion of the play was the main character of Dorothy starting as a young girl and then growing up as the play moves along.

Swiney said it has been very rewarding to see how the children have really embraced the story and made it their own and the production will feature the popular classic songs, as well as a special surprise song. "I've been performing since I was in high school and been involved in theatre and musicals for many years having treaded the boards at the Con Theatre when I was younger.

“Throughout the year, students have been encouraged to learn new skills and the classes have been beneficial for gaining confidence and learning new skills of acting both on and off stage, dealing with emotions and involved professional auditions," said Swiney.

The first performance at Con Theatre on Friday, November 22 will start at 7:00pm, while on Saturday, November 23 it will start at 7:30pm which runs for about an hour and 10 minutes with an interval of 10 - 15 minutes.

A canteen will be running and selling water, soft drinks, tea, coffee, chips, chocolates and cakes.

Tickets are now available and for sale until the doors open for the first show at 6:00pm.

Prices are $12.50 for adults, pensioners: $10.00, children under 15: $7.50 while children under one are free.

Anyone wishing to find out more information or to pre-purchase tickets can contact Erika on 0434 149 568 or Angela on 0429 303 628.

A young and local aspiring cast of actors have been putting in many hours of rehearsals in preparation for Innisfail Dramatic Arts production of A Christmas Wizard of Oz with two performances at the Con Theatre on November 22 and 23.

GUESTS dressed as their favourite movie stars and walked the red carpet at the Hollywood Wine and Cheese trivia night at Sapore di Italia which was a fundraiser for Cassowary Coast Paws and Claws Animal Refuge.

Close to 30 guests attended, and six teams of four, five or six exercised their grey matter in five rounds of trivia which included movies, science, history, sport and music.

The overall winning team was Elle's Bells on 74, followed by Beverley Hillbillies in second place on 66 and a tie for third place between Pink Ladies and Judy Garland on 62.

There were special prizes for best dressed, with Kathy Rear-

don judged the best lady for her Legally Blonde costume, while David Hutton was the clear male winner as the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz. A total of $627 was raised for the not-for-profit rescue organisation which will go towards extending the cat section at the shelter. The refuge which services homeless pets in the Innisfail region is run completely by volunteers and relies on the community for support.

The purpose of the refuge is to re-home unwanted animals to their forever homes, with the fur babies de-sexed, vet checked, vaccinated, micro-chipped wormed and flea and tick treated before they leave the shelter.

Tschui and Watson Lead off Division Three Race

CCRC

to stand f o r re-election.

Theresa Millwood who ran second to Taylor after preferences, just 23 votes behind in 2016, informed CCIN that she has not yet decided whether to throw her hat in the ring again.

Similarly, 2016 third placed runner Les Cavanagh is still considering his options.

In Division 3 (Mission Beach/Kurrimine), previous candidates Alister Pike and Ru Carslake definitely have no intention to stand again.

However Trudy Tschui, owner/operator of the Hair Strand Salon at Mission Beach, who ran third to Cr. Kimberley previously, is a definite starter.

So far, the only new candidate for this division is Hilary Watson, owner/operator of the Helen Wiltshire Gallery at Mission Beach.

This election will be the first under the new local government electoral laws enacted just last month.

In order to nominate, all candidates (including sitting

Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS The Local Government elections are scheduled for 28 March 2020 and will be upon us sooner than most realise.

This week CCIN looks at the current state of play in the three ‘southern’ divisions.

In Division 1 (centred on Cardwell), Cr. Glen Raleigh is definitely seeking to be re-elected. His only 2016 opponent, previous Cardwell Shire councillor Ross Sorbello, plans to concentrate on his real estate business and has no intention to stand again.

Following the recently announced realignment of divisional electoral boundaries, Deputy Mayor, Cr Kimberley, finds his El Arish residence and business are now located in Division 2 (Tully).

So while he currently represents Division 3 he now plans to stand for re-election in Division 2 in 2020.

Current Division 2 councillor Rick Taylor does not plan

councillors) must now complete new mandatory training conducted by the Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs.

This on-line course has three modules and takes about an hour to complete.

Candidates must declare they have successfully completed this “So you want to be a councillor” course when lodging their official nomination forms.

In a complication to campaigning, the new laws now strictly prohibit the use of credit cards to pay for campaign expenses and the use of campaign funds to pay for a charge incurred on a credit card.

When new disclosure laws come into effect in early 2020, any person or entity that makes a donation or spends funds on a local government candidate or campaign will be required to disclose details of the transaction using the Electoral Commission’s new online electronic disclosure system.

Since October 2018, Queensland law also bans political donations from property developers and industry bodies which have property developers as the majority of their members. Presumably this

EYESORE Well what an eyesore to the entrance of Innisfail this morning. How is it possible that suddenly a stockpile of cars greets you on the left? I recall a previous metal recycler 'moved on'

by Council years ago when located at Rifle Range Road, but Council appears to be complacent with this Steptoe and Son operation either side of the Bruce Highway.

I recall a Mundoo Wrecker hounded through Courts for ENVIRONMENTAL conditions (oil pits, bunded walls, contamination collection points) none of which are in situ with the latest pop up wrecker.

Nothing says Tourism like a bashed up bomb (or 20).

Welcome to Innisfail ... It is quite the EXPERIENCE. Bonny Bauer Djarawong

COMMENDATION DOMINIC MOBBS I commend CCRC correspondent Dominic Mobbs on his front page article in last week’s CCIN re CCRC’s insurance debacle.

Well written plain English and drew out the issues at hand.

In a letter to the Innisfail Advocate some time ago, I questioned if the Unity Alliance team could dig a bigger hole than the one they had dug for ratepayers re their lack of capacity to make important decisions because of conflicts of interest and non-disclosure of business interests, and now the big insurance cost covering question hanging over all residents heads.

With all the overarching outstanding questions to be answered,

means the Mayfair Group currently buying up properties around Mission Beach and Dunk Island will be prohibited from donating.

Later this month, CCIN will look at the current situation in the three ‘northern’ divisions. CCIN plans a comprehensive coverage of the forthcoming local government elections. It will provide a short introduction to all candidates for readers.

Candidates wishing to provide background should contact CCIN at info@ccin.com. au.

Either Sean or myself will then get in contact.

Of course a week cannot pass without more chapters being written in the ongoing legal saga originally kicked off by the Council’s CEO’s defamation case and being funded by ratepayers.

On Wednesday November 6, in the Brisbane Federal Court the Council, CEO, the Mayor and others continued their attempts to declare the local couple bankrupt.

While on Thursday November 7, in the District Court in Cairns, there is another hearing in the criminal stalking case brought against the couple.

Northern IRON and Brass Foundry Team Break Another Safety Record MARIA GIRGENTI

THE hardworking team from Northern Iron Brass Foundry (NIBF) have topped their safety record again, reaching three years of nil (MTI) medically treated and nil lost time injuries (LTI) at their Wangan workplace.

This is an industry term achievement of TRIFR Zero (Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate) and surpasses the previous record by one year. Given the harsh working environment of a foundry, this is an impressive achievement and a testament to the strong safety culture and procedures in the business.

This significant and tremendous achievement is a result of the determined effort of every single site employee to maintain a high standard of safety inside a safe working environment. "We have a great team, with a strong safety culture at NIBF that understands the critical risks in our day-to-day operations," said Operations Manager Joe Vecchio.

Employees have taken their learnings from near misses, not only at the NIBF site, but from other safety briefs at Iplex Australia sites and the broader Fletcher Building business and applied them to create a great safety culture

which have been shared between all departments.

“This achievement means a great deal to our future, and everyone understands onsite that safety is just as important as our financial result for a viable future."

"NIBF has good people that look out for each other in their working day. The culture of safety is ever-evolving, and I am so proud of every single employee for achieving this milestone."

Employees paused to reflect on their latest safety milestone and celebrated with a special cake from Mourilyan Bakery on the day and a social event at Innisfail Bowls Club a week later.

The business, was established in 1932, currently employs around 80 people and specialises in the casting of various grades of ductile and cast irons, abrasion and corrosion resistant irons, steels, as well as bronze and aluminium. These castings are used to make water fittings, pump components, farm implements, boiler parts, pulleys and street castings such as hydrant boxes and manhole covers.

NIBF services the railway, sugar, mining, automotive, trucking, water and general engineering industries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR it’s a wonder the state local government minister hasn’t stepped in to adjudicate on ratepayers behalf.

I set out to learn where he was buried. As he was a Digger, I had a little information. Somewhere along the line I found Senta-Anne and told her of my plight. I told her I had applied for a death certificate and knew my grandfather was buried in Tully cemetery and the grave number and wondered if she would put me touch with someone who would be willing to go and see if it had a grave marker on it.

To my astonishment, she not only volunteered to go herself, but she took her daughter and they took photos and videos so as to give me some idea of the area. I was really sad to note that a man who fought in the First World War for his country had absolutely no sign on his grave just a row number and letter.

Senta, I think, sensed I was sad, and suggested putting a little marker on for me.

So, one day with her daughter they put a little wooden cross surrounded by pebbles and some wild flowers on the spot where my grandad lay, and that’s where the story would end one would think. Oh no, not this lady.

She suggested a brass plate would be fitting for an ex-Digger.

Did I know someone who could engrave one? I lived in Australia in the sixties and trained to be an engraver, and now in England that’s what I do for a living as well as shoe repairs and key cutting. So, yes, I knew the very chap.

This story is gonna have a happy ending thanks to this wonderful lady and her and my family. She received the plate I sent her and will put it on his grave and let him know his grandson didn’t forget even though we never met.

My friend Senta-Anne has now gone one step further on my behalf and approached the war graves commission, who have been absolutely brilliant and will look into his case and see if he qualifies for a proper headstone.

As we approach a very pertinent time of year when we remember the fallen (for our yesterday, they gave their tomorrow) it seems to remind us that what we have today is because of their bravery.

My newfound friend Senta -Anne deserves some recognition; that’s why I’m telling you this very personal story. She has fought health issues but still ignores it to find a fitting end for the ex-Digger I never met, don’t know where or why he lived in Tully, who his friends were or even the address. All I do know thanks to her and her family is this: At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

RIP David John Watson. I salute you, Grandad. x Ray Freeman England

New Halloween Theme

This is the first time we have had a Halloween themed event at the Cardwell Visitor Information and Historic Precinct.

Giving an opportunity to the visitors who would not normally visit the centre.

Attendance: 90 children (we know this because we gave out 90 lolly bags) Approx 60 adults Total = 150 visitors • Local Day Care asked that we keep the display up for the next few days so the family’s

Inspect by appointment this property will surprise.

who could not attend on the night could visit the House of Horrors adding an extra 40 visitors to the Cardwell Visitor Information and Historic Precinct which brought the total number to 190 extra visitors to the Historic Precinct due to this event.

• Visitor breakdown – along with locals we had people travel from Mission Beach, Tully and Ingham and also visitors in town from the Gold Coast came out to see the display at the Cardwell Visitor Information and Historic Precinct • Local businesses contacted us to be involved next year adding extra trading hours for this event Local community organizations that participated were: Cardwell Lions, Cardwell Op Shop, Rockingham Home (Cardwell Care), Cardwell State School P&C, and volunteers of the Cardwell Visitor Information & Heritage Centre, volunteers of the Cardwell Jetty markets.

Regional teen Sophie has eye for success At just 17 years old, Tully teen Sophie MacKay is the latest regional champion demonstrating that the Cassowary Coast is bursting with young achievers.

Sophie, a Year 12 student at Tully State High School, was this year’s State final winner of the Prime Beef Young Judges competition in Brisbane, demonstrating a superior eye for

assessing prime beef cattle.

She also was earlier this year named Young Rural Ambassador by the Cairns Show Association.

On top of that she’s also an internationally-accomplished dancer, having competed or performed in exhibition and team events in Australia, Singapore, and the United States.

Because of her achievements Sophie was recently honoured to be invited to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council chambers, where she was presented with a certificate of recognition by Council Deputy Mayor, Wayne Kimberley.

Councillor Kimberley said: “Teenagers like Sophie are very pro-active in our community.

She’s an inspiration for other teens in the area.

“The Council is very pleased to be awarding and recognising young achievers through our region, and we truly hope Sophie reaches all her dreams.”

Sophie said that winning at the Ekka Showground in Brisbane was a surprise victory, although she had worked hard to prepare.

“I was always hopeful, but when the result was announced I was surprised at being the winner but very happy,” Sophie said.

Supportive parents Gavin and Lidia said that Sophie’s agricultural studies teacher Warren Giffin had been a big influence in Sophie’s success.

Says mum Lidia: “Mr Giffin has been very influential in making the kids at the high school believe that they can really do things with their lives. A little bit of praise and recognition goes a long way.”

COMMUNITY NEWS

Feast of the Senses New Committee for 2020 The Tully Support Centre (TSC) is once again proud to be a part of the Tully Carols by Candlelight Gift Giving Tree, and with this year being the 14th year it is shaping up to be a good one.

All the gifts that are donated by our community are brought to the Tully Carols by Candlelight which will be held on Sunday the 8th of December from 6:00pm - 8:30pm at the Cyclone Shelter, Tully State Primary School. However, the TSC will continue to collect presents for distribution in the week before Christmas.

Last year, nearly 150 gifts were placed under the gift giving trees, helping to bring some Christmas joy to the lives of local families who are or have experienced hardship in the last year. This year NewsXpress, Tully Raycare, Good Vibrations, Prices Plus and Angelcare will be displaying trees during November and December for customers to purchase a present from these stores, or others (we encourage you to shop locally).

The small Christmas tree is displayed with tags for the age and gender of the young person you would like to buy a present for. You can either leave the gift at the store to be collected, take them to the TSC or you can bring them along to the Tully Carols by Candlelight to be placed under the large tree on the night.

Over the last 14 years the TSC has played Santa’s helper, it is certainly one of the best and most humbling roles I have played at the centre. To see the joy on little faces when you give them a gift on behalf of our community, and to see the tears in parents’ eyes when they realise that they now have something to put under the tree on Christmas Eve for their children.

THE Feast of the Senses AGM, held at the Queen’s Hotel in Innisfail, was the best attended AGM in a number of years, reflecting community support for the festival and assuring the future of the 2020 event.

“It was wonderful to see members of other community organisations in attendance, as well as individuals who decided to come along,” said newly elected President Kristy Nutting.

“For a number of years, we’ve had a paid co-ordinator organizing most aspects of the festival, but we’ve decided to do it ourselves this time,” said Nutting.

“All of those who stood for election knew that it would be a hands-on committee, with everyone taking on responsibility for all the jobs that need to be done to bring the festival to fruition.”

Plans are well under way for the four-day event which will be held from Thursday March 26 to Sunday March 29 in 2020. Events will feature a tropical cocktail cruise, two food trails, gala dinner at the Innisfail State College Pep-

pertree Restaurant, a showcase of activities in the Johnstone River Community Gardens, talent quest at the Shire Hall, a tropical wine & cheese tasting and the market day extravaganza on the Sunday, which is to be renamed ‘River Feast’, which will be the culminating event of the festival. The day will feature the rare and tropical fruit display, great food, kids’ activities, produce stalls, arts, crafts and entertainment.

While positions on the twelve-member committee are now filled, many volunteers will still be needed closer to the event and especially on Market Day. “There is no community event without the involvement of community volunteers. We can’t do it all by ourselves. We’d love to hear from anyone who’d like to be part of this terrific local event. Volunteering has its own rewards, as well as free entry on the day,” Nutting said.

Contact details and information can be found on the Feast of the Senses website at www.feastofthesenses.com.au

All of the presents donated through the gift giving tree are distributed to local families; what a great way to celebrate Christmas by making someone else’s that much better; after all it is through the act of giving that we truly receive the greatest rewards.

The Tully Support Centre is funded by the Queensland Government through the Department of Communities and services communities throughout the Cassowary Coast.

The Tully Support Centre is located at 54 Bryant Street in Tully, opening hours Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 4pm; Wednesday 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 6pm.

To register your interest or more info about groups and other services please call 40 681 004, check the Tully Support Centre online at www.tullysupportcentre.com.au or follow us on Facebook “Tully Support Centre Inc.”

Local Economy Turned Upward in February 2019 There are several ways you can take the economic pulse of a town. One we spoke about recently is the multitude of new businesses springing up in Tully, as well as others expanding. There are also businesses that currently rent their premises looking to buy a business property.

These actions suggest business owners are feeling enough good financial vibrations to put their own money on the line and commit to the area long-term. As Craig Teitzel – owner of Teitzel’s SUPA IGA along with Ellen-May Teitzel – said last week, “Real estate is confidence.”

Another barometer is to look for how working-class consumers are spending, and one of the biggest areas of spending is on basic consumer items like groceries. In this area, the trend has been upwards according to Teitzel.

Craig Teitzel, is a Tully native who went to Townsville to play football for the Cowboys, then to England where he played for Warrington, back to Tully where he managed the IGA store, then to Cardwell where he ran a smaller IGA shop, before returning home a few years ago when he and Ellen-May took ownership of Teitzel’s SUPA IGA. It was a commitment to his home town.

Tully was still recovering from Yasi at the time. “Then Panama hit the town hard for 18 months or so. There was also a change in the type of migrant workers. Backpackers are better for the community because they tend to spend more locally. That affected lots of businesses.”

“People have to eat, but they can choose what they eat,” Ellen-May said, “They can choose an 80-cent packet of noodles instead of a rump steak. As a grocer, you notice the difference when times are a bit tougher.

People buy different things.” They saw their role as one of helping families get through those hard times to the other side.

The turnaround, according to Craig, started a few months back, in February. “This year has been better than our last two. We’re now back to what we were doing in 2016/2017,” he said.

and the buying of stock, figuring out how much to buy, and who is a reliable partner to work with. He sees it as a challenge. “Some things work, some don’t.” He adjusts.

Ellen-May focuses of the lines they’ll stock. For instance, she took a gamble on stocking more fresh produce and organic food. “I felt people wanted to eat healthier. Craig said to me, what if it doesn’t sell? I said, let’s try and see.” It did sell and has had a spin-off effect. “People come in from out of town because their amazed at some of the things we sell.” That of course, leads to those visitors buying other items and becoming regular visitors to Tully.

They see their store as a hub of the community in many different ways.

One way that they don’t talk about publicly is the support they offer to organisations such as schools and sporting clubs in the region. A lot of it flies under the radar, but locals know what’s going on and appreciate it.

Another way is that they offer a lot of kids their first job – they currently employ about 140 staff. The young people may not stay with SUPA IGA – two of the town’s butchers, for example, left IGA to set up their own butcher business – but they learn valuable lessons before they leave.

They’re also committed to supporting local farms. “We buy as much local as we can,” he said. “Even small farms. If someone’s got five cartons of chokos (sp), yeah I’ll take them.”

They also have a huge generator on the premises. If the town ever does

“People come in from out of town because their amazed at some of the things we sell.”

He added that people seem excited now. “Things like the grandstand being built have helped lift people’s enthusiasm. We’ve wanted that for the past 20 years. And probably what happens at Mission Beach and Dunk Island will also have a spin-off.”

A big part of SUPA IGA’s success is that the Teitzels know what they’re doing. They work as a team, each recognising the other’s strengths.

They also listen to their customers who ask for special items they don’t currently stock. “Those people, they come to the store for those items they can’t get elsewhere, but they buy everything else they need as well.”

Craig hopes that people in the community take their example and look at the long term instead of just sourcing from outside the community because they can pay a bit less. “They have to understand that small businesses in the town support the schools, the sporting clubs, hospitals. The more support the local businesses get, the more support we can give back.”

SUPA IGA did face a challenge at

one point when people started having their groceries trucked in from as far away as Cairns. Ellen-May didn’t flinch. “I said, we’re inside our own house, don’t worry about the neighbours. I said, how can we make our service better? Speak with your customer, engage with them, make sure everything’s clean and that we get what they want.” And it worked.

SUPA IGA also has extended opening hours to cater for the entire community. For example, many of the backpackers in Tully take advantage of their 5:00am openings to buy their lunch in the mornings. It’s also one of the few establishments anywhere on the Cassowary Coast to open all day Sunday.

Last Sunday President of the Tigers Leagues Club, John Clifford, presided over the annual general meeting at the Tigers Leagues Club.

After the pleasantries of thanking the board, members, staff and their landlords (the RSL Board), he handed out the club’s financials, and got down to the business of the club’s 2020 plans. “Our future goals and plans with the help of the RSL sub-branch is to hopefully expand the business with some valuable car parking.” He characterised the chances of this happening as hopeful and positive.

Council held an auction for the property adjacent to the club and there were no other bidders for the property apart from the Tigers Leagues Club. The building on the property has been condemned and the club would like to tear it down and use the premises as a car park.

While it will increase business, the club has more community-minded reasons for wanting a nearby parking lot, according to Manager of Tigers Leagues Club, Jo Solien. “Yes, there’s parking not too far away, but a lot of our older customers need closer parking especially with the rainy season coming.” At times, you can see employees at the club escorting customers from their cars with umbrellas when

81 Butler Street, Tully the rain is hard.

The Tigers Leagues Club is recognised by people around Tully as a hub of the community – not just in that it is a place were people congregate, but it actively gives back to the community and supports local businesses.

Every year, including ones where it doesn’t turn a profit like in 2019, the club donates thousands of dollars to local sporting clubs. “We’re a non-profit. We don’t keep any money. It all goes back to the community,” said Solien.

According to club Treasurer, Anthony Emmi, they also insist on buying local. “Even if it costs more, we buy local.” The effects of this are multiple. Apart from the obvious one of a dollar going to a local supplier, each extra

Image Tigers Leagues Club Bistro on Melbourne Cup Day 2019 dollar a business gets gives the local market more confidence, which tends to lead to more local investment. Circulating dollars locally also induces more spending in the community, which also drives up confidence among businesses, leading to more investment. Every dollar spent generates twice as much income for the local economy.

Solien said the club could turn better profits if it sourced from outside suppliers, but the club is first and foremost a community asset. It isn’t designed to make a profit and that will never be its primary focus.

RURAL REPORT

Final General Meeting of Year for Tully & District Orchid Society

THE Tully and District Orchid Society held its last general meeting for the year on Saturday.

Members were all busily preparing for this year's Christmas and presentation luncheon which is to be held at Hotel Tully (top pup) on Saturday, December 7 starting at 11:30am.

The club will then go into recess until Saturday, February 1, 2020.

With the implementation of a Novice division in the club, this year's presentation will see new and inexperienced growers recognised for their efforts.

Nearly 200 Awards Handed out at Southern Zone Sports Awards Show SEAN DENT

A few hundred people were in attendance at the Southern Zone and District 2019 Sports Awards last Thursday evening at the Tully State High School Multipurpose Centre.

There were several distinguished guests of honour, not least of whom were Tracee Harris and Justin Flegler. Harris is a former member of the Australian Army, a former Young Citizen of the Year, an international CrossFit competitor, now a fitness guru at Trace Your Fitness, and a woman who has given so much of herself to the community that it would be a feat to list all her contributions here. Flegler has trained with Harris and is an accomplished motorbike long jumper and barefoot water skier and was an inspirational contestant recently on Nine’s Australian Ninja Warrior.

Monique Sichter, High School Sports Captain for 2019, and a star athlete in her own right, partly hosted the event (along with Zeb Paulger, Sports Co-ordinator at Tully State High School) and took the opportunity to interview Harris and Flegler onstage about what it takes for a young person to succeed in the world of athletic

achievements.

Following that, many awards were presented to students, and this was probably the best part.

Think back to when you were a kid and won recognition for an athletic achievement. One by one they were called up to receive a certificate or a trophy acknowledging outstanding achievement in their sport.

Nearly 200 names were called up to the stage: several of them were called up multiple times because they excelled in more than one sport. Each one walked across the stage with a sense of pride for the recognition they were receiving. There were so many that it was impossible to soak in the moment, but you know it meant something to each of them, as well as their families and close friends.

There were also awards that recognised periphery achievements such as the House Spirit Award, in this case honouring activities and events such as cheer camps, attendance at carnivals, sunscreen points and various lunchtime activities.

The prestigious 10-12 years Sportsperson of the Year Award, a trophy sponsored by the La Spina family and awarded to the student who demonstrated a high level of achievement

across a number of sports, went to Brooke Johnston, who represented the Peninsula in cross country, touch football, and athletics, and was named a shadow for the Peninsula Netball team.

She was also the District Athletics and Cross Country Age Champion.

Also in the running for that award were many fine competitors who excelled in multiple sports including Brooke’s sister, Hayley Johnston, as well as Billy Hellion, Miki Toquero, Layla Jenkins, Eve Zonata, Mia Wilson, and Ellie Jenkins.

The Secondary Sportsperson of the Year similarly was awarded to the student who demonstrated a high level of achievement across a number of sports. Nominated were Jasmine Sichter, Essay Banu, Melody Smith, and Layla Bennet, but it ultimately went to went to Sasha Flegler (pictured, top of page 1), which was somehow a surprise to her even though she competed at three different state championships, was a key member of the Peninsula Softball Team (winning the talent identification award), an integral member of Peninsula Touch Team, the top try scorer for the team at the State Championships, age champ

at the Cassowary Coast Cross Country and Athletics trials, the best women’s netball player in the region (at just 13), and who went on to represent the Peninsula in triple jump at the state championships.

Wrapping up the ceremony, Sichter announced that Taylor Walker is taking over her mantle as the 2020 High School Sports Captain.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Good Counsel College Team Crowned Opti-MINDS Champions MARIA GIRGENTI GOOD Counsel College Opti-MINDS team recently participated in the 31st Opti-MINDS State and National Finals at University of Queensland in Brisbane where they were victorious in the Social Sciences division. Year 9 students Rose Bonello, Sharni Edwards, Yukako Kubota, Syren Letizia, Maree Tagget and Tess Wilson made up the winning team.

The two-day event which attracted 106 teams from all over Australia provided students with the opportunity to share their ideas for a sustainable future, as well as put their problem-solving skills to the test in a three-hour Social Sciences Challenge.

Opti-MINDS Challenge is an opportunity for all those with a passion for learning and problem solving to showcase their skills and talents in an exciting, vibrant and public way.

There were four divisions including Language/Literacy, Science/Engineering and Social Sciences which were open to

students from Prep to Year 12, as well as an Open division for tertiary students, adults, teachers and other organisations.

A youth forum was held on the first day for students from Year one to 12, where Good Counsel College team presented their idea for a Skills For Life program to be implemented in schools (managing finances, domestic skills, social interactions and community engagement).

The second day of competition featured a long-term challenge, where 15 teams in their division were asked to consider the impacts of technology on the ability of human beings to make decisions on their own.

They worked out their response to the challenge and then mapped out the consequences if everyone was forced to take advice and pieces of wisdom from a mobile phone app.

Teams were then required to present their solution in a 10-minute dramatic performance.

A second spontaneous challenge (also 10 minutes) asked

students to imagine where in our world we might find hope.

GCC students came up with hope lies in darkness and the ability to turn on the light when all else fails; it also lies in faith and in the sea of change.

Despite being faced with two incredibly thought-provoking issues, the GCC team were incredibly engaging, entertaining and insightful in delivering their final presentations.

Up against formidable competition from teams such as Mackay and Gold Coast, GCC Year nine students emerged as State and National champions in the Social Sciences division.

Brenton Pappas, Opti-MINDS Regional Director said GCC students were very humble and the judges expressed to him how fantastic they presented and were good ambassadors for the event.

GCC were the only team from Far North Queensland to experience success at this year’s event, and students expressed genuine surprise when they were announced the winners as they said there were a

lot of other teams who had really creative performances.

All students said it was a really fun experience as they en-

joyed thinking outside the box and it loved observing other people's line of thinking. "We loved meeting new students

from different schools all over Australia, the audience participation was fantastic and it was a very supportive environment."

St Clare’s Seventh Year Students Celebrate 50 Year Reunion SEAN DENT

St John's School Silkwood Graduating Year 6 Class MARIA GIRGENTI AS end of the school year celebrations quickly draw near, Year 6 students at St John's School, Silkwood are excitedly looking forward to starting their first year of high school.

Caritas Leadership Day, St Patrick's Day, Ash Wednesday and Lent preparation were some of the important events on the school calendar and Year 6 leaders participated in sacramental program for Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation.

This year has seen a big focus on rugby league through Innisfail Brothers and rugby union development with Stuart Russell and students have also participated in swimming, touch football and heavily in-

volved in cricket.

Year 6 school leaders led the ANZAC ceremony at Kurrimine Beach, Year 6s led the Mother's Day Liturgy and Year 5 and 6 students also visited the waste facilities plant in Innisfail where they learned about recycling and how they can preserve the planet.

Year 6 students were involved in a transition program to prepare them for Year 7 and during Catholic Education Week had a tour of Good Counsel College where they gained an insight into what life will be like at high school.

During Science Week, Year 6 students led the activities and performed their own science investigations across the school while primarily senior students took part in the St Vincent de

Paul Sleep Out. St John's Justice Squad have been involved in initiatives such as Crazy Sock Day to 'sock it' to poverty.

At the end of October Year 5/6 students went on camp at Echo Creek, and on November 25 both classes led by Year 6s will spread some Christmas cheer at Tully Nursing Home where they will perform musical items and take part in art and craft activities with residents.

The Year 6 graduation dinner will be held on December 3 at Villa Monaco, Kurrimine Beach Motel, followed the next day by their Christmas concert and awards night which will culminate in the Farewell Mass on December 6.

FIFTY years ago, they were in seventh year together, and you’d have to assume they got along pretty well because every ten years since then, a bunch of them gather together to reminisce and celebrate. This year, 23 of them met at Butler’s Restaurant in Tully for dinner.

Now, a lot of these reunions take place as a matter of ceremony and people are happy to have a dinner with people they knew decades ago; it’s a novelty and a night out that wraps up pretty early so everyone can get back to their lives and go home and watch the rugby on TV or whatever they get up to.

This one was not like that.

There was a hum in the room that suggested they had plenty to talk about, and they were in no rush to leave. It was getting close to midnight when they finally called it a night. The alcohol had stopped flowing, the staff had gone home, and they seemed happy to see out the evening unsupervised with coffee and tea and a bit more chat.

This got me curious, and I caught up with Anne Marie

Cardillo, one of the students from that class of 1969 and found out the event went a lot longer than 8:00pm till midnight. It actually started a week before when people arrived from out of town, some coming as far away as places like Brisbane and Georgetown for the event. One was hoping to fly in from Perth, but wasn’t able to and was deeply upset.

The first big meeting was actually Friday night when they met for dinner at Plantations Restaurant. This gave them time to catch up with the past 10 years and try to figure out the puzzle they have often wondered about: how did a class that first met 55 years ago in Year Two become lifelong friends. “It’s the kind of friendship that even after 10 years without seeing each other, it still feels like yesterday,” said Cardillo.

Clearly not tired of each other after a Friday night dinner, they met at 10:00am the next morning for a walk around St Clare’s School where they reminisced and marvelled at how big the school is now — triple the size that it was when

they attended as students.

From there, they went to Tuskers on South Mission Beach for some lunch and drinks. It was a long lunch and they straggled out at 3:00pm, meeting up later at Butler’s Restaurant as noted above.

Sharon Burgess, the proprietor, arranged for Lara the Clown (AKA Lara the Artist) to paint the school crest for the occasion. Not just one crest: she painted the current one and the one from 1969 in giant format.

On Sunday, Father Hilary performed the mass for the old friends, and the classmates said a prayer for the departed but not forgotten Mother Regina.

“She’s the woman who developed our characters and taught us the things we needed to learn at that age, things like respect and discipline. We all had tears in our eyes when we remembered her,” said Cardillo.

The congregation congratulated the class and then they adjourned to the back of the church for morning tea and said some tearful goodbyes.

Until 2029.

Innisfail 1/151 (20) (Robyn Fascetti 65 no, Alana Romano 54no) defeated Mareeba Seafood King

8/96 (20) (Fascetti 3/10 (4), Sharon Bradford 2/17 (4), Romano 1/15 (4), Segumar Edwards 1/27 (4) The Innisfail Thunder Ladies continued their perfect start to the season with a crushing win over Mareeba at Goondi Sporting Complex last Sunday.

Batting first, openers Edwards (10) and Fascetti started solidly, laying a platform early and scoring at close to a run-aball. Edward's dismissal brought skipper Romano to the crease who decided to up the ante and accelerated the score, blasting a few sixes along the way.

Fascetti carried her bat through the innings in good support while the rest of the batting order watched the display from the sheds. The home team compiled 151 runs from their allotted 20 overs.

In response, Innisfail took wickets at regular intervals after removing the

dangerous Janelle Smithwick through a great catch from Romano. Mareeba was unable to gain any momentum through their innings and fell 55 runs short of the target.

The win sees Innisfail Ladies move clear at the top of the table after three rounds of Cricket Far

North Ladies T20 competition. It was a great win for Innisfail team who had a rest over the representative weekend where Edwards and Romano were part of the Ladies Open Representative side.

THE seas dropped down enough for the larger boats to travel out to the main reefs over the weekend.

However, at this stage I have not had any catch reports from boats heading out wide. The reef fishing has been very good over the last month, so hopefully there were some good fish caught.

Closer in around the shoals in the shipping channel the Nannygai catches have been poor. However, there have been reasonable numbers of Grass Sweet Lip and the occasional Coral Trout caught. Although not in huge numbers, there are still the odd Spanish and School Mackerel being caught. What is in abundance is Bludger Trevally.

stretched grab a handful of metal jigs and try some high-speed jigging.

The fishing around the islands has improved over the last few weeks with some nice Fingermark and Island Trout being caught. One regular reported not catching any fish on live herring but managed some nice Fingermark once he started moving around and jigging with soft plastics.

The Grey Mackerel are starting to turn up with the occasional fish being sighted, hopefully the larger schools will turn up soon.

There are still a few Spanish Mackerel around the islands. However, the Bull sharks are extremely savage forcing boats to move away from regularly productive areas.

Queen fish normally start to move inshore at this time of the year, I saw several bust-ups while fish-

ing the Hull on Monday and have assumed some have now entered the river.

These great sportfish used to be in plaque proportions, but over fishing has greatly reduced numbers, I’d like to see some protection for a few years and give them a chance to recover.

The Barra season is now closed until the February 1. It is important that anglers realize that we can’t promote fishing for these fish through the closure by putting photos of captures up on our website. Of course, fishing in stocked impoundments is exempt, however you do need a stocked impoundment Permit. Permit fees go towards restocking so you are only aiding in a better fishery by purchasing a licence.

My manager Derek is fishing the ABT which is an impoundment Barra tournament which is held over 10 days. They are fishing Teemburra, Kinchant and Faust dams. So let’s wish

lowed by Sporters 9-hole.

Innisfail Golf

GREAT to so many people out playing golf socially during our competitions.

The course is looking magnificent, a little bit of paradise for golfers in our region & those passing through.

Our new Men’s Tee signs have been installed by our President Des Hensler & they look great!

Thanks Des & thanks Russell Signage for the work!

Even though the course is playing long, there’s been some trouble scoring in the conditions. Thanks to our members for presenting a great course & facilities!

Wednesday Allsporters Comp (Tee off times 12:00pm & 3:00pm) A little bit of a wet track, held back a few from playing in the afternoon, but the 12:00pm groups got out from the gates, with just a small shower or two. Well done Des Hensler for picking up the win.

(Team Zerek Lures) luck and hopefully we will see some metre plus fish show up on our website. Impoundment fishing is relatively new to Derek and he is up against the best, so he is sure to come back with a heap of the latest ideas.

From my own results and also the photos showing up from other anglers on the net, there were plenty of Mangrove Jacks caught over last weekend.

We found the fish very spooky and had to change to longer and lighter leaders and small soft plastics to get a bite. The early morning run out tide was very tough with the fishing biting on the change of the tide and during the run in.

The lower freshwater reaches of the Tully river has been fishing well for sooty grunter. As a bonus, there have also been some big mangrove Jacks caught. The higher freshwater reaches of the Tully and Liverpool river have

fished well for both Sooty Grunter and Jungle Perch.

At the time of writing which is very early in the week the forecast is for very light winds on Friday and Saturday, increasing slightly through Sunday to 10 to 15 knots.

Either side of the early morning high tide will suit fishing for grunter in the coastal creeks or in the Hinchinbrook area. This same tide will also offer opportunities to fish for Fingermark or Grey Mackerel out around the islands. The weather conditions should also allow boats to travel out to the main reefs.

Those wishing to chase Jacks in the creeks should try either side of the early afternoon low tide. This low will need to be taken into consideration when accessing shallow boat ramps.

Ketchell:

Tigers Will be Ready for 2020 Steven Barrett (Reserve Grade Coach), Benny Ketchell (Assistant), Paul Ketchell( Head Coach), Aron Ketchell (Assistant)

SHANE MURIATA AS the sun set on the 2019 Tully Rugby League season in a year that served up one of the poorest returns in recent memory, 2020 incoming A grade coach Paul Ketchell could not hide his enthusiasm when we caught up during the week for the big announcement at the home of the Tigers, the Tully Showground.

The handshakes, laughs and just the positive vibe that we walked into felt more like a family reunion for this black and gold tragic. I was then greeted with a hug from brothers Paul, Aron and Benny Ketchell. For those who know nothing about Tully Rugby League and the Ketchell’s long association probably don’t know footy. The Tigers and the Ketchell’s go hand in hand like peas and carrot, or to put it in more terms we can under-

stand, like sugarcane and the township of Tully.

Paul Ketchell’s journey to the top job started way back in junior league, along with his brothers – and sisters who were just as tough as any of the boys. When asked of his early influence, legendary names like Mick Martin, Brett Blenner, Matt Cliffo and Tigers royalty, Peter Campbell were the most notable ones that helped shape his rugby league life.

After starting out in the Ingham Comp in the early 90s as youngster coming through the ranks, Paul quickly learned some very hard lessons of toughness and respect by playing with and against older men. After his stint at the North Qld Cowboys with brother Aron, Paul went on to forge a great and successful rugby league career spanning just shy of 20 years. Good mate of his and Nth Qld icon Ter-

ry Aqualina became one of his idols after playing and winning a title under him for the Innisfail Leprechauns.

He then went on to coach both Tully under 18s and Reserve Grade in 2005 where he won a title off the back of their skilful, brilliant and magnificent hooker (yours truly) to bring the flag back down south. He then went on to coach numerous junior footy teams which included a rep side he coached last year. When the opportunity came along to finally make it home to take up the head coaching job with Tully Tigers, he couldn’t resist the chance. “It’s like coming home. My family has been here forever, so this club is in my heart forever. We have the best and largest supporters in the CDRL, so we are looking to get that back and repay our fans. The committee and president Anthony

Emmi have all been great, so the only way from here is up.”

As my attention moved from Paul, I could see brothers Aron and Benny and Reserve Grade coach Steven Barrett all agreeing we will hit the ground running and ready to bring back the pride of the town. “It’s good having Paul on board,” Steven stated. “He just has that family feel with his brothers being here. He has plans and he wants to involve me in them, so I am super excited.”

With a new coach comes change, and Paul has already identified where they will come from. “We will be bringing in some new players to create depth because I felt that’s where we may have faltered in the past.

We want to start our under 18s back up, and look at improving our catchment of players. If we can look at developing guys like

Nabil Sipi and the likes, then I see no reason we won’t become a force again in the CDRL.” The Tigers will look at the 4th of February to start preseason, then a four-week window to our first trial against old foe Herbert River. We will follow that with another two trials a month or so later, then the competition starts. When asked of his first main message in his inaugural address, Ketchy was straight to the point.

“This will be a new era for our great club. We have a new state of the art grandstand coming, new players and a new season, so we are all starting together on par with each other. I don’t care what happened before, that’s behind us now, and season 2020 is what we are shooting for. We will bring back former players who haven’t been around the Tigers landscape for a while and bring back that

Pride that they once knew we had. Our club will be ready to go I can assure you.”

With those departing words, I got home and looked at the 1996 Premiership winning team photo with Ketchy in it that sits on my wall and felt relieved that my beloved Tigers are on the way back.

Just a quick and obviously massive congrats to all the students who received certificates and medallions last Thursday night at the Sports Awards that was held at the Tully State High School MPC. Special guest speakers and all round legends Tracee Harris and Justin Flegler were magnificent on the night and inspired many students to achieve above themselves. They spoke about hard work and dedication to following your dreams, and gave many pupils the belief to achieve anything. Of

course, I will not finish this wrap sheet without giving master coach and good guy Reid Bolas the thumbs up, as he continues to do some outstanding things for TSHS through his teaching, coaching and just being an all-round great guy.

Call it a bromance if you want, but I think he has been able to help some students achieve above their capabilities. Last but not least, a humongous round of applause to the famous and yet humbled Zeb Paulger. I think the night would have been ok, but Mr Paulger made it even better by running proceedings to the tune of humour, humour and just being funny. Hopefully you are available to do the Oscars next year, because Billy Crystal aint got nothing on you partner.
