Girramay Elder Muriata Speaks Out on Election Issues SEAN DENT

Girramay Elder and Artist Abraham Muriata

ABRAHAM Muriata is Senior artist at Girringun Art Centre and Chairman of the people of the Jumbun community in Murray Upper. He speaks on his own behalf and on behalf of the Girramay People He’s also the father of Tully Tigers legend, Shane Muriata. Even the younger Muriata, a notoriously self-confessed fan of himself, admits that his father is the better man, and could be very important in the upcoming election.

Abraham has something that no local politician seems to have: his finger on the pulse of what is important to the indigenous community, and number one is for them to have a voice in what goes on in their division. To be honest, very few even listen. For the most part, if you speak to people, they’ll happily tell you what the indigenous people want and need without any input.

As the Cassowary Coast Community will soon have our local election, I feel the most important thing to be considering is whether the elected councillors and Mayor are able to take us back to basics?

What I personally consider important: Are we paying for facilities that we are currently not using? Are we ensuring that our water

Entitlement attitude quality and roads are a priority on the list of commitments for our local council? Are we ensuring that development proposals are offered to local organisations before they are provided to businesses outside our community (with the consideration that they may be a cost increase due to the Cassowary Coast being rural, but based on the understanding that the money will predominantly be spent in the Cassowary Coast)?

I want to look to the future and ensure that it is an equitable place for all people, and the Cassowary Coast is a culturally diverse area were the skills of the people that live here could be utilised for the betterment of the community.

LOCAL AFFAIRS Girramay Elder Muriata Speaks Stay Calm – What You Need to Know About Novel Coronavirus SEAN DENT body has ever withstood Queensland Health the elderly. In 2019, it was Out on Election Issues was 46.5C. Nor will gar- gives the standard advice reported that over 80% of CONTINUED FROM PG1 Abraham speaks low and without any sense of grandeur. He comes across as a humble man who only ever brags about one thing: that’s he is Shane’s dad. But he’s interested in his people having a voice in what goes on, and he’s not shy about telling you.

For example, he asked if Glenn Raleigh was running again as he hasn’t been keeping up with the election news, and when he was told yes, he said he’s only seen Raleigh once or twice since the last election. He’s interested in meeting other candidates before the voting starts, and Gabi Plumm in Division 1 is trying to arrange a time and place to meet Abraham.

The number one issue for Abraham? Drugs.

“Not very much has been done to prevent drugs getting into the commu-

nity. We need more effort by the police.” Based on what others have said, this is not just an indigenous issue. Abraham agreed that Ice is considered a cheaper and more easily available option for young people than alcohol, and there’s little evidence the police are doing anything about it. Residents seem resigned to it. A lot of people have told me, “If they shut down one seller, another one will pop up tomorrow.”

Another issue is alcohol, but Abraham said that it seems to have quietened down a bit. They have the odd binge party, but things seem better.

What he would like to see is a dialysis machine housed locally, he mentioned Tully as a good location. “A lot of people have to go to Innisfail for dialysis treatment, sometimes three times a week.

It would be better to have it locally, maybe even a portable dialysis machine

in Gumbun.”

The other issue he’d like to hear about from candidates is tourism in the indigenous areas.

Tropical Coast Tourism does include Indigenous tourism in its plans, pointing to it being the oldest civilisation on earth, but in its 68-page tourism strategy, indigenous tourism gets just two paragraphs, about the same amount of attention as Art Deco.

When we told Abraham the names of the three mayoral candidates, the only one that rang a bell was Bryce Macdonald, but he said Macdonald is more familiar with the people at Tully River, not so much Murray Upper.

Candidates in Division 1 ignore the indigenous tribes at their peril. The last election turned on just 50 votes. If the indigenous people get organised and vote as a block, they may control who gets in.

IF you’re following the national news, you’ll know that Australia is taking every precaution to make sure that Coronavirus is not getting into this country, not the mainland anyway. Nurses are meeting planes that arrive into Queensland from China and Hong Kong to check for symptoms, and where necessary, people are being quarantined on Christmas Island for two weeks.

As far as Queensland is concerned, three cases have presented to date, a man, a woman, and an eight-year-old boy. All three came from the city of Wuhan and travelled in the same party and remain in stable condition at Gold Coast University Hospital.

Whenever something like this happens, a small section of the population goes into a panic and starts spouting disinformation.

One theory of a cure that hit the internet was drink lots of alcohol and raise the body temperature to 55C, which yes, it would kill all the viruses and the person because the highest temperature the human

lic act as protection even if someone on Twitter claims that solution came from the WHO or some other reputable organisation.

The best approach is to learn the symptoms and go see a doctor right away if you show signs of the virus.

According to Queensland Health, “Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).”

The strain that is causing death in Wuhan, China is novel coronavirus, a new strain of coronavirus that has never been previously identified in humans. Common signs include fever, respiratory-illness symptoms such as a cough, fatigue, and breathing difficulties.

Needless to say, if you are experiencing these symptoms, see your doctor immediately or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).

in terms of protecting yourself: practice good hand and respiratory hygiene including cleaning hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing, avoiding contact with anyone who has respiratory symptoms.

They also recommend staying a metre clear of anyone coughing or sneezing.

At this stage, doctors are only testing for novel coronavirus among people showing symptoms and who have been to mainland China within the last 14 days, or who have been in contact with someone who has been to mainland China within the last 14 days, or who have been in contact with someone who has coronavirus.

All of these things are a very remote possibility in our area. People who have colds or flu will exhibit these same symptoms, and they should be checked out anyway if they present in you or someone close to you, especially among

the 191 influenza-related deaths in Queensland were people over the age of 70. Note: none of these occurred among residents of the Cassowary Coast.

It's a good reminder to get your flu shots at the appropriate time. While free vaccines are available to eligible Queenslanders from Mid-April, Queensland Health recommends you get your flu shots between June and September because the vaccines provide the best protection in the first 3-4 months, and you want it to last as deep into the flu season as possible. Queensland recommend flu shots to anyone over six months of age.

As for the novel coronavirus, exercise the same caution you would to avoid getting the flu, and steer clear of panic.

Queensland Health assures us they are ready to deal with any case that might present. “Queensland public hospitals are well prepared to respond to novel coronavirus. We have responded to health emergencies in the past, and we will do it again.”

Two new plaques will be dedicated by padre Mick Grant for members John Cardenti and David Penman, who have passed on.

In 1952, National Service was compulsory for all 18-year-old men and many young fellows from our region undertook the three month training at Wacol Army Base.

Many of them will admit they went away as boys and came back as men. There was a gap after 1958, but National Service was resumed in the 1960s,

around the time the Vietnam war was brewing.

National Service was finally abolished in 1972 and those who were part of the first intakes are now aged 80 years or older, while those from later intakes are 70+ years.

Most people know Feb 14 as Valentine’s Day, a day for love, but it is also an important day for

Nashos members as it marks the last time these servicemen marched out of Wacol.

Residents who have a plaque of a loved one on the memorial wall are invited to attend the short ceremony on Friday, February 14 at 5.00pm and place a poppy on their relative’s plaque.

A suspected new case of Panama disease tropical race 4 (Panama TR4) has been detected on a Tully Valley banana farm in Far North Queensland.

Shane Greenwood, Manager of Tully Support Centre (TSC), and one of the authors of the report produced last year titled, Assessment of the Community’s Ability to Cope with Future Detections of Panama Tropical Race 4, was quick to assert that it is not a panic situation.

“It was only an initial test.

More tests will be done, and if those tests are positive, we have good biosecurity protocols in place.

We’ll keep putting out the message: come clean, leave clean.” He pointed out it would be only the fourth example in five years.

Shane Knuth, Member for Hill, said he is disappointed to hear the news, but has always had great faith in local growers to know how to handle this situation and said they continue to work well with Bio Security Queensland.

He pledged his support, saying he will be looking at further measures that can be taken to prevent further outbreaks, including significantly more funds to ensure the safety of our banana crops and to assist growers in implementation of additional measures required to safeguard their properties against TR4.

Biosecurity Queensland’s Panama TR4 Program Leader Rhiannon Evans said her surveillance team identified banana plants displaying symptoms typical of Panama TR4 during a routine inspection of a property last month. “We have a positive result from preliminary diagnostic testing for Panama TR4, however further testing is required before a conclusive result can be determined and this

testing can take up to four weeks to complete,” she said.

“The grower was notified immediately and we are working with them to ensure strict on-farm biosecurity measures are maintained with a focus on preventing disease spread and minimising any production downtime.

“The property with the suspect detection is in close proximity to the three previously confirmed infested properties.”

Australian Banana Growers’ Council Chair Stephen Lowe said while the industry knew the disease would eventually spread, it’s still news no one wants to hear. “First and foremost, our thoughts are with the grower affected. This is no doubt going to be a challenging time for them and their family, and we will look to help them through this in any way we can,” he said.

“This is definitely news that no-one in our industry wanted to hear. Biosecurity Queensland has a strong surveillance program in place and this has assisted with early detection of the disease in this instance.”

Mr Lowe added “It is an incredible feat that the disease has been contained to such a small area so far.

Indeed, this latest case is in close proximity to the other affected farms in Tully.

However, there can be no doubt that it is spreading – and sadly it will continue to do so.”

Ms Evans said the Queensland Government would continue to stand with the banana industry to meet the challenges of Panama TR4.

In the presentation of the report produced last August, the committee left the community with two messages: 1) we shouldn’t assume there won’t be anther detection and 2) this is a community that will hang together and respond to whatever happens

SEAN DENT

GEORGE Charles Iggulden, born in 1922 in Mareeba, moved to Tully in the late 1940s after a stint in the RAAF during World War II and bought a little drapery shop where Tackle World stands right now.

He had worked for the famous Jack and Newells, so he had a grounding in retail.

The previous owner, Mr Whelan would often operate his business from the bar at the Top Hotel.

He had a good view of his shop from that position, but George had different ideas. He renamed the shop Iggulden’s Menswear on February 13, 1950 and redirected its focus to providing clothing for the growing workforce in the area.

He couldn’t have predicted his first major business challenge – the record rainfalls that were to devastate the town that year.

Nearly 7.9 metres of rain fell in total, a record that still stands, and second place is not even close. To get an idea what that looks like, have a gander at the Golden Gumboot, which represents the rainfall for that year. George probably wondered what he had done.

On the other hand, he was buoyed by his biggest stroke of good fortune that year – meeting his partner in life, a lady by the name of Amy Elston who was studying to be a pharmacist at Mr Adcock’s Pharmacy. They married in 1953 and in the four years following, three daughters were born. Amy became not only his life partner but his business partner as well.

One of our longest local residents, Ron Hunt, was 13 at the time, but remembers staring in the shop window like it was yesterday. “It was the place to go for young guys looking to get their glad gear. I remember getting some shark skin trousers at Iggulden’s.”

Hunt had nothing but good things to say about George, who he said set the standard for the generous nature of this community. He was a dedi-

cated Tully Lion, it’s first president and a committee member of the Salvation Army. “George would do anything for anyone if they needed help, especially if they were down on their luck. George was one of the first to introduce lay-by, so people could get what they needed to start work and pay it back over the coming weeks,” said Hunt.

Bob Katter chimed in with a message when he heard about the anniversary. “I look in great envy at Iggulden’s in Tully turning 70. I take my hat off to them. The essence to small town survival is local owner/operator businesses. We should build monuments to honour the Iggulden family.

God bless the “Igguldens” all around Australia.”

Not many in the area will remember, but George and Amy later moved to the premises where Good Vibrations is now. This proved to be an unfortunate decision as the Astoria Café next door burned down, and most of the stock in George's shop was water damaged, creating a lot of insurance paperwork before they could open again. Thankfully, their friend Denny Tolcher, the jeweller in town, and another good friend, Ron Perrin helped with that chore so Iggulden’s could get back to work as soon as possible.

They took up the premises across the road where Hair on Butler is now situated. George then won a contract to supply clothing to Cardstone Village workers, a large number of whom were employed on the construction of the Kareeya Power Station. On payday Fridays, together with Bill Colahan, the local tailor, George would drive up to Cardstone to sell his wares while Amy worked the shop.

George and Amy's final move to where the business is now, was in the early sixties. The building became available, and George and Amy decided to buy it from the famous Mullins Brothers. It’s one of the examples of Art Deco on Butler Street that

tourists still come to see.

On one side of Iggulden’s was Gus and Nellie Sava, operating The Bluebird Cafe. On the other side was a solicitor, named Signorini. When Gussie closed down his business, George extended the shop to allow it to stock a wider variety. Over the following years, renovations and building resulted in Iggulden's Arcade as well. Later, Iggulden’s also opened branches in both Mission Beach and Cardwell.

In 1995 on July 1, having worked their business

for 45 years, George and Amy retired. Daughter Robyn and son-in-law Colin, both teachers, decided to buy the business and have run Iggulden’s for the past 25 years.

Like George, they faced a couple of challenges in the form of cyclones Larry and Yasi, but came through. George passed away a few years later in 1998, but his legacy of providing quality clothing and other items at respectable prices to the community continued, and Colin and Robyn stayed active

as members of the Lions and Lionesses respectively.

Next Thursday Feb 13, the 70th anniversary will be celebrated between 6:00am and 9:00am, with 4KZ there to broadcast the event from Cairns to Townsville. At the same time, Reeds Betta Home Living will commemorate 50 years and Tully Drapery will ring in its 20th year in business. There will be a cutting of the cake at around 8:30am with Amy Iggulden there to do the honours.

COMMUNITY NEWS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Councils need to Be Vigilant When Handling Ratepayers Money THE Cassowary Coast Regional Council shows strong signs of continuous wasted money and duplication of processes. I understand that some of these processes are delegated to us from State Government departments, but council also needs to be vigilant on handling ratepayers’ money in a fiscally responsible manner. Council needs to get back to its primary purposes, with an improved road maintenance program to support our agriculture and tourism, supplying good quality drinking water, and cost efficient environmental services; there is no money to waste and no time to waste.

On the 28th of March you will have an opportunity to have a say in the future of the Cassowary Coast for the next four years.

Bryce Macdonald Mayoral Candidate Cassowary Coast Regional Council

Pledge your commitment to a cancer free future this World Cancer Day I write to urge all Queenslanders to pledge their commitment to help reduce the burden of cancer this World Cancer Day (February 4).

In its 20th year, the global initiative invites people from across the world to come together to get one step closer to a cancer free future. The day aims to prevent cancer deaths by raising awareness and education, encouraging joint community and government action.

The 2020 theme for World Cancer Day is “I am, I will”, where members of the public are encouraged to pledge their commitment to act in whatever way possible to help reduce the impact of cancer.

This World Cancer Day, Cancer Council Queensland is pledging our continued commitment to reducing the burden of cancer.

Cancer Council Queensland will continue to inform Queenslanders with trusted knowledge and advice on cancer. We will continue to support and connect Queenslanders living with cancer to the right services and people. We will continue to work towards improving the quality of life of Queenslanders living with cancer.

We have come a long way, with amazing advancements in cancer research, services that connect Queenslanders from every corner of the state to life-saving treatment, and prevention programs that are reducing the incidence and fatality rates of cancer.

However, we still have a long way to go, and there is no better day than World Cancer Day to celebrate how far we have come and refresh our efforts for the future.

Ms Chris McMillan CEO, Cancer Council Queensland Theft TUESDAY January 28 this year, my wife and I after finishing our shopping went to the Tully tennis court. I do the mowing and she does the cleaning etc when it’s needed.

I use a push mower which belongs to the Tennis Club and I love doing it.

As usual, not another vehicle in sight. I park next to the small gate which allows entrance to the clubhouse.

Now the closest grass I mow is approx. three metres from the vehicle and the furthest is no more than 20 metres.

Five minutes or so from finishing at the rear end of the club house, I notice teenagers loitering beside the front fence. Every time I mow past the building, one in particular kept looking at me when I come into view. With one almighty leap, the one who was keeping an eye on me leaped over the black steel fence and then back again. Within two seconds a car comes out of the showgrounds and the two culprits jump into the back seat and the car drives south towards the mill.

Well the problem is about 15 minutes later my wife discovers her purse is missing. A desperate search by the two of us proves fruitless.

I cannot believe how brazen thieves steal other people’s property in broad daylight.

Can you imagine the problems we’ve got now? No bankcards, no license, no medicare card, plus plus plus.

I would like now to appeal to the parents of these kids. Now honestly, do you like seeing your kids going down this path in life? If they’re not working, where are they getting money from to buy beer, lollies etc. If you suspect that your kids are stealing money, please do the right thing and go to the Police and tell them you don’t want your children growing up as criminals.

Yours Sincerely David Tully

Councillor Heath Threatens Innisfail Business Owner SEAN DENT

YET another Council representative has hit out at Greg Smith, proprietor of Fix My Stuff in Innisfail.

Last Friday, Cr Ben Heath paid a visit to Smith’s premises for what Heath described as a friendly chat between two busi-

nessmen. Smith saw it differently and had video/audio to back him up, saying that Heath insulted him, threatened him, and had the police pay him a visit – the second time in the last few weeks that a member of Council had the police go to his premises.

The police left without

taking any official action after deeming the tapes inconclusive. At the time the police were there, Smith didn’t realise he captured audio as well as video.

Smith has since sent the Police a copy of the video.

At about 10:00am last Friday, Heath walked into Smith’s shop. Immediate-

ly, Heath is heard on tape saying, “Hi Greg, you look fat.” The two men know each other quite well by now as Heath was at one point in discussions with Smith regarding the use of a property in Innisfail.

They have had other related friendly interactions in their past too. Heath

Cr Ben Heath was caught on video

immediately accused Smith of writing things on Facebook that Heath did not like. When we asked Heath what specifically Smith wrote, he declined to answer and told us to ask Smith.

Smith acknowledges having engaged in “mild criticism” of Council and its members in a private Facebook group, but said he doesn’t know what Heath is talking about otherwise, although he admits he calls Heath Fishman – a reference to the fact that Heath has a fish shop in Innisfail. Smith has a tendency to use nicknames such as Mister Mayor and ‘The Fake Fugitive Lawyer’ instead of their real names.

When we asked Heath about some of Smith’s claims regarding what was said, Heath denied them and said it was just a friendly chat and that he had nothing to say about it. When we informed him that Smith had a recording of the event, he decided to

continue chatting with us, but denied being asked to leave the premises.

On the tape itself, Heath is heard to say that he will call the police and tell them about the meth lab Smith has in his shop.

Smith denies he has a meth lab there. (Even cursory research shows getting rid of a meth lab is a painstaking process that people would notice, and it takes several days or even weeks. The EPA has a report titled, Voluntary Guidelines for Methamphetamine Laboratory Cleanup. It’s 48 pages long.)

Smith feels that Heath was attempting to use his position as a councillor to intimidate, and there’s certainly a tone of schoolyard bullying on the recording of the event, and also how Heath looks at Smith when he sees him on the street.

“He’s been giving me the death stare whenever he sees me,” said Smith. He said he felt that Heath was attempting to use his authority as a councillor to

intimidate, which he says is against the council’s code of conduct.

We asked Heath if Smith asked him to leave, and Heath said he was never asked to leave, but on the tape that Smith provided to us, Smith said to Heath, “Will you go, will you go you're trespassing.” When Heath refused to leave, Smith said he was calling the police.

At that point, Heath said three times, that he would see Smith around, and then said, “You'll see me around a lot. Call the police tell them I’m at 51 Fitzgerald Esplanade and I’II tell them you have a meth lab.”

We called Heath again to give him a chance to clear up the record and asked him to respond to the fact that Smith asked him to leave at least three times. Heath declined to comment. We asked about the meth lab accusation.

He declined to comment.

Ross Sorbello SEAN DENT As of today’s publication, 51 days remain until the local election. In Division 2, things are moving, with potentially five candidates standing, although some have not publicly announced as yet.

This week we preview two strong candidates, Teresa Millwood and Ross Sorbello. We expect Cr Wayne Kimberley and Peter Reed to also run, but neither has officially tossed their hat into the ring. Hopefully by next week, we’ll be able to announce their candidacy and preview them along with Leonie Barra.

Many in the area have been lauding Millwood as a strong candidate. She ran in 2016 and lost by a mere 53 votes to Cr Rick Taylor, who does not appear to be running in 2020. She is promising honest and fair

Teresa Millwood representation and said she will communicate and engage with residents about their issues.

Born and bred in Tully, Millwood has a real passion for the community, and daily makes personal contact with its people through her work as a practice nurse at the medical centre and as a hairdresser. “I’m a caring and good listener, a great communicator and can stand on my own two feet.”

She’s running as an independent, fully funded by herself. “My strategy is to carry forward everyone’s views and concerns, and I will be committed to taking on board concerns raised such as boil water notices, higher-than-average rates, establishment of more family-friendly recreational and youth entertainment areas and easing the burden on our primary

producers and agricultural sectors,” she said.

She recognises the importance of councillors working as a team and is dedicated to working with any of the three current mayoral candidates. “However, I will stand true to the community and will be an independent representative.”

She has strong views on the choice of name for the grandstand. She is against the major structure carrying an individual’s name.

“It is a community project, and this could cause a lot of controversy. It should simply be The Tully Grandstand. The bar could be named Percy Pease Bar and maybe Allan Reis changerooms.”

Sorbello has not only run before, he’s served two full terms as a councillor.

In 2016, he ran in division 1, missing out be a meagre 50 votes. He decided to run in Division 2 after many people prompted him, saying his experience was sorely needed.

He runs as an independent, but will work with the other councillors and whoever the voters select as mayor.

Sorbello is a third generation Tully man. He apprenticed at the sugar mill and ran his own cane farm for 30 years. In his current job as co-owner of Tyson Real Estate, he is in constant contact with people in the community, often as the first person newcomers

to the region ever talk to.

He also is strongly supported by his wife, Margaret, who he calls the brains of the family.

The first issue Sorbello would like to address if elected is affordability of rates, which he knows firsthand stifles competition. He also wants to dig into making Council run as efficiently as possible, as well as seeing what can be done to ensure more tenders go to local businesses. “Outside contractors contribute nothing to our community,” he said.

Another issue for Sorbello is to make sure that work done by Council is spread throughout the region.

One issue that he feels flies under the radar is the caravan park in Tully, which sits there virtually unused year-round, and which he feels could boost the local economy.

With regards to the current council, Sorbello said, “As a former councillor, I know how hard the job is and I’m not going to bag anyone for what has happened over the past four years. Suffice to say, if I didn’t think I could do a better job, I wouldn’t be running.”

As for the grandstand, Sorbello would like to meet with the football community and come up with a name that represents and honours the game and its great fans.

KREMASTOS CONFIRMS RUN FOR SECONDTERM

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS MAYOR John Kremastos has now publically confirmed his intention to seek a second term as Mayor of the Cassowary Coast Regional Council at the 28 March 2020 Local Government elections.

This time however he will not be heading a team but running as a self-funded independent.

At the last election in 2016, Kremastos lead the

Unity Alliance team that competed in all six divisions with success in three enabling them to deliver their vision during the past four years.

Currently it appears that Cr. Baines, representing Division 5, is the only councillor from this original team seeking re-election.

There is little doubt that the team concept coupled with their receiving donations, albeit token, and the State Government’s Belcarra requirements created conflict of interest and quorum problems during the term of this current

council. So the decision of Kremastos to run as an independent is understandable.

Nevertheless, a similar situation in Cairns still sees several teams running though ‘self-funding’ seems to be the new order of the day.

Although this Council has faced considerable adverse publicity in social media and the press across a wide range of issues, it’s hard to gauge how much this has actually resonated with the voting public at large. A one-term incumbent mayor would normally be favoured to be

returned for a second stint.

As CCIN has previously observed however given two strong opponents, the deputy mayor from the previous council (Macdonald) plus a current councillor with 15 years’ experience (Nolan), much will depend on preference flows.

For many years before that she owned and operated the Australian GP clinic in Dubai, UAE where she cared for the families of the Australian High Commission and students of the University of Wollongong’s Dubai campus. Her experience is extensive with her earlier years of practice in small rural towns in Southern NSW (Batemans Bay and Eden) which unfortunately were recently devastated in the bush fire crisis.

Her interests and expertise in medicine is wide from musculoskeletal issues

to Women’s health (particularly HRT and menopause), Men’s Health, Sexual Health, Diabetes and other chronic diseases and dermatology, (with an interest in Aesthetics). She takes a different approach to patient care by discussing and explaining their conditions and so plans and treatment are made together so there is an understanding of diagnosis and management. She also considers it important that there is an opportunity for patients to ask any questions and express any worries or concerns.

Outside medicine Catherine is a passionate cook and loves Mediterranean food and culture.

HAPPY New Year to all!! I wish everyone a fantastic year of gardening and I hope my articles help along the way.

I have not had my computer to be able to get this article in last month, so this month I shall do one article now and one at the end of the month, as usual. I wish to say a huge thanks to all who call in to see me at Mitre 10 Garden Centre, Tully and thank me for my articles...I love to try to help others with their gardening and I can only say that I also never stop learning!

Longan trees are fruiting now and I love them!

These trees can grow to 12 metres but can be trimmed to a height to make the fruits more easily harvested.

They really thrive in the tropics and they produce clusters of intermixed creamy white male and female flowers which are followed by the prolific panicles of round, leathery brown skinned fruits.

These fruits are smaller than a lychee and have a large seed surrounded by a fleshy edible aril. The seed is seen through the flesh when the fruit is peeled and this has given them the common name of dragon’s eye.

Their crisp skin is easy to peel and they taste great!

Longans may also be dried or frozen.

They have a very different taste to the lychee but I love them. They are very important in the Chinese New Year and consuming them suggests ‘starting anew’.

They are eaten after a meal as a refreshing palate cleanser.

I have already started planting my vegetable seeds, even though many say it is too hot yet.

I grow many vegetables all year but we went away for a few weeks at Christmas and New Year, so I left my beds fallow and when we returned, I weeded, fertilised and topped them with mulch, and I planted many seeds on the weekend.

We love the taste of home-grown vegetables and it is good to know that they have not had any chemicals sprayed on them.

I put stakes into my beds wherever there are plants growing that are badly affected by pests and put a foam or cardboard cup on top of the stake to prevent the nets ripping and spread the mosquito nets over them and tuck around the plants.

This is a great time to start preparing your garden beds for the coming vegetable growing season if you have not already done so.

I love to cut pieces from many plants, such as cordylines, crotons, coleus, etc at this time of year as I find they can be put straight into the garden and with all the rainfall, they strike easily....it is an easy way to multiply our favourite plants.

I love to learn about and let others know about edible flowers. It amazes me how many there are and the look so attractive on the plate!

Always make sure that any flowers you wish to add

to your dishes have had no sprays on them and wash the flower, remove stamens, pistils and any leaf-like sepals at the base of the flower. Pollen can cause problems for some who are allergic to it.

There is a huge list of edible flowers including marigolds, dandelions, rosemary, sage, daylilies, lavender, zucchini, hibiscus, sunflower seeds, impatiens, pansies, phlox, roses geraniums, and many more.

All parts of a lotus plant are edible! I have been too reluctant to eat mine as I love the plant and flowers, but I have sometimes used the beautiful leaves as a serving dish.

Daylily flowers, tuber and roots, can also be eaten and their tubers can be cooked like a boiled potato and the buds used as a garnish or steamed, or battered and fried. Their flowers are rich in vitamin A. I have printed sheets of all edible flowers so please call in to ask me for one when I am at work, on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings.

I know we don’t want to use our flowers for eating all the time but they are great to use when entertaining!

Enjoy your gardening!

Until next month,

Robbie Katter takes the reins of the KAP

THE long term vision and success of Katter’s Australian Party has been bolstered with Robbie Katter stepping up and taking the leadership from his father Bob Katter Jnr. The State Member for Traeger said he’d been eager to inject himself into the political game at a high level.

“I’ve been champing at

the bit, waiting to unleash, and now I’ve been passed the ball I’m ready to run through the gap,” Robbie Katter said.

“Australian politics needs street fighters and we will continue that effort.

“Queensland needs someone not to talk about the Bradfield Scheme but to build it.

“Under new leadership we will steam roll October’s State Elections and come out in a position of influence.

“We will build Bradfield, a rail line to the Galilee Basin and introduce relocation sentencing for youth offenders.

“The people of regional Queensland are demanding a new deal.”

Outgoing KAP leader and Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter Jnr. said it was time Robbie stepped up to the plate and forcefully took the party leadership.

“To our enemies, this will free up time for me to go after your heads, and to ensure this nation is built

the way it was meant to be built,” Bob Katter Jnr. said.

“We may be going through the worst period of unfairness since the First World War. “And I quote the great Australian Henry Lawson in his poem ‘Freedom of the Wallaby.’

“We'll make the tyrants feel the sting O' those that they would throttle; They needn't say the fault is ours If blood should stain the wattle!"

“In my book ‘An Incredible Race of People, A Passionate History of Australia’ I said, my problem is not that I have had to

NOLAN CLEARED OF ALL COMPLAINTS

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS COUNCILLOR Mark Nolan, standing for mayor in the forthcoming Local Government elections, has now been cleared of an alleged 30 complaints lodged against him by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.

The final outstanding decision was issued by the Councillor Conduct Tribunal Independent Assessor, Kathleen Florian, on January 23, 2020.

According to Nolan, the 30 complaints against him had been lodged over 20-month period.

A number had been previously addressed by the Department of Local Government prior to the establishment of the Councillor Conduct Tribunal.

With all the complaints now dismissed Nolan told CCIN that he felt he could finally speak out about what he alleges is “the culture of intimidation that prevailed during the current council term particularly against those who were not part of the Mayor’s Unity Alliance team”.

“These complaints required me to obtain expensive legal advice which I have had to fund myself,” he said adding that they “had also resulted in unnecessary stress to both me and my family.”

Nolan stated to CCIN, “there had been no complaints or allegations about me in the previous 15 years as a councillor but 30 over the past 20 months alone.”

And he believed it was far from coincidence that the complaints only stopped when he had his solicitor prepare and lodge a letter to Council stating that he would take action against Council for work-

place harassment and bullying if they continued to lodge complaints against his conduct.

These complaints were also part of the reason he was putting himself forward for the mayoral position. He felt that he could no longer be a councillor where the leadership believed that making these types of complaints against a fellow councillor could in any way be justified.

“The dismissal of these frivolous and unsubstantiated complaints stands in contrast to the findings against Mayor Kremastos,” said Nolan who pointed out that the Mayor has had two adverse findings against him by the Councillor Conduct Tribunal, requiring him to make public apologies and pay fines.

It is interesting to note that in November 2019 the Independent Assessor, Ms Florian, “issued a warning to councillors who make

improper complaints about another councillor’s conduct, that they could be charged with making frivolous or vexatious complaints and face a fine of more than $11,000.”

Apparently, this policy was introduced because of the large number of complaints made by councillors about other councillors with many “lacking in substance, are politicised or are made for ulterior motives.”

witness and suffer the rise of the Lilliputians, but my problem is that I had once walked with giants.

“Watching our three State MPs in action, I see the rise again of the likes of Theodore, Theiss, Chifley, the much maligned Bjelke-Petersen and Sir Leo Hielscher.

“A leader is not just the person at the helm, but the people that stand behind him.”

Member for Hill Shane Knuth, who has a long-standing history with both Robbie and Bob, said he’d seen Robbie come a long way since playing Rugby League with him in

the 90s.

“Since being elected under the KAP banner in 2012, Robbie has been able to draw from Bob’s experience and knowledge,” Mr Knuth said.

“Combining this with Robbie’s fresh approach has positioned the KAP as a proven force in the political arena.

“While Robbie takes the reins on the KAP – there is no doubt about it, Bob will continue to be a thorn in the side of his political rivals,” Mr Knuth said.

Hinchinbrook MP, Nick Dametto congratulated Bob and Robbie Katter on the transition of the leadership of Katter’s

Australian Party.

“This would have to be the most significant political moment for North Queensland since the Party’s inception,” Mr Dametto said.

“The party was always set up with the intention of carrying on the good work of the Katter family into the future.

“This transition will ensure that North Queenslanders who back the principles and values of the KAP will have strong leadership to deliver for North Queensland for years to come.

“I look forward to continuing my work with the KAP under the leadership of Robbie Katter MP.”

Drive to the Conditions JANE MORAN | SENIOR CONSTABLE | CASSOWARY COAST CRIME PREVENTION

WITH recent rainfall across the cassowary Coast it is a timely reminder for motorist and residences to be mindful of their surroundings.

As the rain continues to fall it is likely a number of rivers, creeks, and

drains will begin to swell and overflow with the influx of water, this will affect roads and bridges around the area.

Flood waters can be dangerous as you do not know what is beneath the water, the current can be deceiving and flowing faster than you anticipate, and there could be all types of creatures lurking in the water.

Police want to reinforce the message, ‘If it’s flooded forget it’, and are warning people not to attempt to walk or drive through flood waters regardless of the perceived capabilities of their vehicle.

When driving in wet conditions, turn your lights on; you are more visible to other drivers if you have your lights on

as some vehicles blend into the road.

Slow down and drive to the weather and road conditions when visibility is reduced.

With the coming wet season, this is a good reminder that driving in wet weather can be very dangerous. You should prepare and maintain your vehicle to make sure you will always be as safe as

possible when driving in wet conditions. This can be done by checking you have good tread (at least 1.5mm deep across the whole tyre width), making sure all of your vehicle’s lights are operational and effective, and ensuring your windscreen and light lenses are clean.

To report changes in road conditions, call 13

Silkwood State School StartsYear on Positive Note

Silkwood State School Acting Principal, Christopher Cattarossi with Sahara (Ellison house captain), Shiloh-Lily and Tanna (school captains) and Giorgia (Barnard house captain) MARIA GIRGENTI SILKWOOD State School started the first term of the year on a positive note with 56 students who have settled in well

to routines, are already focused on learning, and displayed exemplary behaviour.

The school community welcomed new Acting Principal Christo-

pher Cattarossi, who has been teaching at Tully State School since 2013, has a passion for Health and Physical Education (HPE), and will be teaching Year 5/6.

Cattarossi who was born and grew up in Dimbulah has been involved in education for 30 years with roles as Deputy Principal and Head of Curriculum and having worked

in Far North Queensland schools including Coen, Weipa South, Atherton, Tully, and Mission Beach.

New Year 5/6 teacher Matt Griffiths also hails from Tully State School

and has lived overseas for six years where he gained valuable teaching experience. Since his return to Australia in 2014, he completed his Masters of Teaching and held teaching positions at Hobart, Kingaroy and Tully.

Students follow the school motto 'Keep on Keeping On' and Silkwood Superstars system, where those who uphold the three pillars of Be Safe, Be Respectful and Be A Learner are rewarded.

Year 5/6 students will be taking part in the rugby league carnival at Tully State School on February 28.

There will be a strong focus on reading and the school has implemented a Peer Reading system where older students are coached to read to younger students on a regular basis with an aim to engage parents as volunteer readers in the future.

In 2020, the health and well-being of students is a top priority, which will include exercise, diet and taking care of themselves physically and emotionally, and where students will be involved in 30 minutes of physical activity before the start of school.

Breakfast club, supported by Coles Innisfail, will also be starting at 8.00am on Monday,

Wednesday and Friday encouraging students to get their day off to a great start with a hearty meal.

All classrooms will be given a face lift with new furniture such as chairs, desks and bookcases, which will be purchased with funds raised at last year's Wine By The Sea P&C Association major fundraiser.

The school is also accepting donations of school resources including books, pens, pencils etc which will be sent to schools damaged in bush fire areas.

As part of the community engagement project to encourage new families to Silkwood State School, the Giggly Friends Playgroup for children aged 0 - 5 years has been re-established and is back up and running on Mondays from 8.30am - 11.00am.

The playgroup, which will be run by dedicated teacher aide Belinda Santarossa, is a great way for mums, dads, grandparents and carers and children to socialise and share their experiences in an informal and friendly setting.

Enrolments for Prep to Year 6 and playgroup are open and for further information, please contact Debbie at the school office on 4065 1333.

RURAL REPORT

Farmer Runoffs: Senate Inquiry Update In CCIN’s January 23rd edition we spoke about the magnificent 7, who had replicated seven experiments completed by James Cook University (JCU)’s Coral Reef Centre that had a 100% replication fail. The concern for local farmers is, if these experiments had a 100% replication fail, could farmers trust the results of experiments that influence government legislation regarding their farming practice?

CCIN would like to make a correction, as Mario Quagliata LNP/ Northern Green Shirt (not Martin

Bella Green Shirt President) organised the delegates who journeyed to Canberra resulting in the senate inquiry called ‘Identification of leading practices in ensuring evidence-based regulation of farm practices that impact water quality outcomes in the Great Barrier Reef.’

CCIN read submissions regarding the senate inquiry on https://www.aph.gov. au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/ Rural_and_Regional_Aff a i r s _ a n d _ Tr a n s p o r t / GreatBarrierReef/Submissions Some of the submissions inform that their efforts to preserve the great barrier

G R O W E R-L E A D E R S will have plenty of positives to discuss when CANEGROWERS’ eight-member board gathers in Gordonvale (Far North Qld) this week for its first meeting of 2020.

Significant rainfall across the North of the state has brought welcome relief to parched cane-growing communities along Queensland’s coast, with some areas recording their highest monthly rainfall totals for more than a year.

After two years of disappointing crops, the much-needed rain brings hope for a better growing season in 2020. However, relief is still desperately needed in Queensland’s drought-declared southern growing regions, despite some welcome downpours in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, a rally on the global market that pushed world sugar prices to a 15-month high, has also given growers a renewed sense of optimism, following a dismal 2019 season that saw prices floundering below the cost of production.

Challenges ahead Despite the positive outlook, there is still much work to be done, with a number of significant challenges facing the industry in 2020, CANEGROWERS Chairman Paul Schembri said.

“Whilst the rain is very welcome and the sugar prices are improving, nobody believes our problems are over,” Mr Schembri said.

“Indian sugar production has surged based on high levels of government sponsored cane price sup-

port. This has been the single greatest influence weighing down the world price in the last few years.

“It is our view that these subsidies are a blatant breach of WTO rules.

So, despite world prices improving, the Australian sugar industry will not be easing back on the throttle in our campaign to end Indian export subsidies.”

Looming Local Government and State elections will also feature prominently on the Board’s agenda, with grower representatives from across the state determined to ensure agricultural issues are front and centre in the minds of politicians seeking election.

“If 2020 was a sporting season, the State Election would be the grand final.

But the local government elections being held on 28 March are a critical preliminary,” CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan said.

“Decisions made at the local government level have a significant and profound impact on our industry. For that reason, CANEGROWERS will be working with our 13 district companies to monitor the campaign and encourage agricultural issues to be at the forefront of the minds of councillors as they pledge to work for the future of their communities.”

The Board will also reaffirm its unwavering support for Tully grower-members in their dispute with Tully Sugar Limited, as they progress through a process of arbitration under the industry Code of Conduct.

New Year brings industry optimism, but hard work still ahead

reef are due to the scientific research that has been performed. (Extract from Great Barrier Reef Foundation) “the Foundation is being guided by the conclusions of the 2017 Scientific Consensus Statement on Land Use Impacts on Great Barrier Reef Water Quality and Ecosystem Condition. The Foundation considers the Scientific Consensus Statement the most comprehensive and authoritative work on the significance of water quality for the Reef.”

Other submissions question whether the research has been conducted appropriately? (Extract from Dixie Nott) “A lot of the purported origin of sediments from farm water runoff is based on ‘estimates’ and when actual measurements are made, there is no evidence of increased pollution due to land management over

time. Yu et al (2013) pointed out that at present, 90% of the Fitzroy basin had been cleared for agriculture and cattle grazing since the 1960s.

Their measurements were of long-term flow and sedimentation data, but as they state, “The paper shows that in spite of the large-scale, rapid land clearing, and an increase in sediment concentration at a given discharge, there are no significant trends in mean annual sediment concentration, nor in the sediment discharge into the GBR lagoon.”

Submissions question why the work farmers have already engaged in to ensure their commitment to maintain the health of their local environments and the GBR are not taken into consideration?

(Extract from Canegrowers Herbert River) “Canegrowers Herbert River

recognises the need to reduce the impact of farming on the nitrogen, phosphorus and chemical loads in waterways that feed into GBR lagoon. Canegrowers in this district are proud of their achievements and are committed to helping maintain the health of their local environments including the GBR lagoon. Canegrowers Herbert River maintains an interest in the Reef Regulations to ensure its members are trusted and treated fairly and the information utilised to formulate these regulations is substantiated, correct and relevant.”

(Extract from Canegrowers Cairns Region) “It’s Growers, scientists and extension working together for better water quality outcomes. There is no friction, just an acceptance of working together for the common good. The intent of this submission is

to highlight that Growers are more than open to environmental science, but naturally have more trust and faith in science that directly involves them in the design, delivery, analysis and action resulting from the outcomes.”

Some submission question why during the consultation process was farmers advice not taken into consideration when creating the legislation? And why there is now legislation in place that appears to show significant distrust of farmers?

(Extract from Canegrowers Herbert River) “Canegrowers are disappointed the Queensland Government have introduced a Bill that undermines canegrowers’ trustworthiness and capacity to record and maintain farm input records by empowering officers of the Department of Environmental Science

to compel fertiliser sellers and agronomists to provide data on individual farmers. Furthermore, this allows the Queensland Government to obtain block yield data from mills to persecute growers. This particular information acquired would be very unreliable and inaccurate as the data mills capture is rough at best and only used for harvesting equity.”

Will this enquiry ensure that there is appropriate replication of studies for quality assurance and ensure that the improvements that farmers have already made are acknowledged?

The results of these studies directly impact the livelihood of rural communities.

CCIN will continue to keep the Cassowary Coast Community updated on the progress of the senate inquiry.

Meeting of Tully Garden and Horticultural Club The Tully Garden Club will be holding their first meeting of the year on Saturday February 8 at the Blue Room at St Claire’s School commencing at 1.30pm Please remember to bring your own cup and a plate of goodies to share if possible.

Tully & District Orchid Society Hold First Meeting for 2020 TULLY & District Orchid Society held its first meeting for 2020, which kicked off on a positive note with an influx of nine new members all seeking to learn the art of growing tropical orchids and to experience the fellowship offered by the club.

President Lachlan Marshall presented two papers: 'Understanding your Orchids' by Phil Spence and 'The Importance of Fresh Air to Orchids' by Sue Bottom.

Key points noted were nearly all popular cultivated orchids are epiphytes, which means they live on the air and only attach themselves to a host for support.

The host takes the form of trees or rocks etc. The humidity increases during the night and is much lower in the day, however this can vary when it’s raining.

Where orchids are plentiful in their natural habitat a light to heavy mist or fog can be readily seen almost

Page 20 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, February 6, 2020

every night.

If you look closely under leaves of an orchid you will see small dents, which are holes called stomata.

These holes open as sunlight dwindles to darkness or as the light is greatly reduced.

This means in order to obtain the best results from watering and feeding you should water at daybreak before the stomata closes.

Another important point was not using oilbased insecticides or fungicides as they will seal over the stomata.

A close examination of orchid roots will tell you a lot if you have a little understanding of them.

For example, if new root ends are white, they can be potted in a medium that is not very open, but if the ends are green, they are in need of more oxygen, and the darker the green tips the more open the mix.

Epiphyte orchids in the wild benefit from fresh air moving off the plant. This

air movement improves gas exchange through the leaf pores. Fresh air movement also cools the leaves during the warm weather when high light and temperatures could otherwise cause the plant to overheat.

Fresh moving air helps dry excess moisture from the leaves so bacteria and fungi will not proliferate.

Orchids don’t want re-

circulating stale air, they prefer to be bathed in fresh air, particularly the wafting breezes they get in the wild.

Proper air movement is just as important to orchids as providing the correct amount of water and light. It's also the least appreciated aspect of orchid growing.

Tully & District Orchid

Society provide regular tuition on all aspects pertaining to the wonderful hobby of growing tropical orchids. Members of the public are all welcome to come along and experience the beauty of the members’ orchids, which are on show at every meeting which are held on the first Saturday of each month.

EL ARISH GOLF BOTH comps went ahead last week, but the weather was a bit of a deterrent for Tuesday’s comp, with a smaller field taking on the damp conditions. Gavin Camilleri was the winner coming in with 33 Stableford points, with Mattie Smith r/up on 32. SATURDAY’s first official comp of the 2020 season had a larger field playing a Stableford event, with results as follows:- Winner – Paul Marland on 37, followed by a c/back to 2nd and 3rd, with Joe James 2nd and Rhys Camilleri 3rd both on 35. NTP winners were: Frank Tomasina taking #4/13 and Kelly Cavallaro taking the ladies on #5/14. I had incorrectly advised last Saturday was our Monthly Medal, but will be held this Saturday – keeping in mind our NEW TIMES: 11.45-12.00 for Rego – DRAW 12.15 – TEE OFF 12.30.

I haven’t heard of anyone that managed to travel out to the main reefs over the past weekend.

However, the reef fishing has been very consistent over the last few weeks with enough Coral Trout and Red Throat being caught to make the trip worthwhile.

The deep-water shale patches and wrecks have been fishing quite well with good numbers of Nannygai being caught. I also had a customer in last week who specialises in Red Emperor and he commented that he has never had fishing for reds this good. This makes sense as the number of juvenile Red Emperor caught during the latter

part of last year was staggering.

The fishing around the islands has also hotted up, with the Fingermark suddenly turning up in bigger numbers. Most of the fish have been caught by using live baits of herring and fresh squid. However, there have been plenty of reports of Fingermark being caught by jigging. There has also been some nice Coral Trout, Grass Sweet Lip and the odd Grey Mackerel caught.

The big news for last weekend was the opening of the Barramundi season. The neap tides caused some problems, however there were some great catches reported from

the estuaries, especially the Hinchinbrook area.

The rain had some influence, with quite a few Barra being caught in the brackish and freshwater reaches of the Tully and Murray rivers. Young Ethan Zonta managed a beautiful 118 cm Barra, a fish of a lifetime for most anglers. However, I am sure with Ethan’s skills it will be the first of many for the year.

It seems that the land-based scene was dominated with Barra caught in the freshwater. However, I am sure the estuaries and popular spots such as the Jetty at clump point and Cardwell will begin to fire as the tides build.

There have also been a few nice Trevally and Queen fish caught

around the mouths of the Hull, Tully and Murray rivers.

This weekend we have a very large run in the tide, which will suit those wishing to chase Grunter around the mouth of the creeks or along the flats in the Hinchinbrook area. For grunter I would try either side of the early morning high tide.

Those that wish to fish for Barra and Mangrove Jacks should consider fishing either side of the mid-afternoon low tide. This weekend the run out to low tide will particularly suit fishing for Barra in the mouth of the drains in the heart of the Hinchinbrook Channel.

There should be plenty of prawns around the drains, so I would lean

towards starting with a prawn pattern such as the Chase Bait or Zerek prawn. If you prefer the better hook up rates you get with hard bodies, I would use the Jackson Devitis or Athlete.

At this early stage of the week, the weather

info@ccin.com.au

for this weekend looks like it is all over the place. It could end up with light winds however there is also a possibility of the wind being around the 15 to 20 knots. As normal I can only advise to check before heading out.

Independent SPORTING NEWS

Tigers News with Shane Muriata As I slowly drive into the Tully Showground to satisfy president Emmi's constant phone calls to get to training, nothing prepared me for the emotional greeting that awaited me at the Tigers first preseason training session.

Nearly 60 players turned up and absolutely trained the house down in sauna like condition. But the heat wasn't the only thing getting my heart rate up, but the top quality and household names that graced the Banyan footy field. If you thought the beetles singing a song with the Backstreet Boys had star power,

Freddy Koraba, Robert Ketchell and fellow legend Steve Singleton got everyone's attention. I can't remember a time when I felt a leap in my black’n’gold heart that made the 'Den' the place to be. When I finally floated out of the showground after seeing Nadine Dorothy’s shoes and our club back on its feet, I went home and hugged my Tigers jersey and belted those famous lines, "Were the mighty Tigers".

With the overrated Superbowl won and run by the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s worth a look at what this

over the top game actually does and how it benefits anyone other than Americans. As with anything American, they seem to think that the world actually revolves around them, stating numerous times during the telecast that the whole world is watching and that everyone will remember “This day into eternity.” Sure the game had its highlights, with a come from behind win for the Chiefs, taking into account they have waited for 50 years to take home a Vince Lombardi Trophy, but this seems to be another time on the calendar that we talk about, but don’t actually know about. The only connection or fame we Australians can lay claim to in the actual game is sometime an AFL player will get a chance to show their kicking, or sorry, ‘punting’ skills. The quar-

terbacks are treated like gods, as if they had invented the light bulb or something, and the coach, well, he’s basically the messiah who took his team to the promise land filled with lollies and massive pizzas.

The commercials that run during the game itself have paid millions of dollars for a shot at eight seconds of air time because the television audience is estimated to be in the billions worldwide. If I had a moment during the whole circus that I could say “Hey that was awesome”, well, that moment would probably belong to the half time show with J-LO and Shakira. SuperBowl 50-something rating, I give it a one and half stars.

With 2020 Cairns District Rugby League season ready to go into preseason over drive for our beloved

Tully Tigers, it is worth mentioning and predicting some of our stars who I think can make the jump into A Grade to claim the spotlight. First off my list has to be Aden Bennett.

Not only does this player look like a dream date for any eligible bachelorette, he can play some decent footy to boot. Easily comfortable in the nine jumper with his good hands, he can return the ball with some power when he is on the wing. If he’s not wearing a Tigers A grade jumper at the start, then I’m wearing a dress with a purple wig to IGA. Tai Nams- Struggling with injury throughout 2019, this season could make or break the talented outside back when playing resumes in the coming weeks. One of the stars in our GF charge in 2018, he struggled to back up that form whilst still trying to

complete high school. If Josh Addo- Carr can run like the wind, then Cyclone Nams should be able to destroy everything in his path, which includes the food buffet at Mission Beach Resort. Braydon Marzona- One of my alltime favourite schoolboy players has finally come through the ranks and should be ready for higher honours. His pace, strength and love of the game should at least see him get some action in the big time, but that’s not the reason he will make it. His greatest strength is his personality, which makes him easier to coach, and that’s what head coach Pauly Ketchell will be looking for when it comes time to blood players. Easily at home in both the forwards and backs, he could also be the next James Bond such is his dress sense. Benn

Campo- If Marzo was my favourite up-and-comer, then Benny Campo will be the leader of the next wave of superstars in the black and gold. In the A grades, pride and many rep games, I have had the chance to see him play, I have no doubt the NRL train will pick him up soon. With Andrew Johns kicking game, Latrell Mitchells fend and a smart arse mouth that would make Anthony Mundine blush, he has all the quality to stir anybody and a pot of stew up. Well there you have it, a list of players that would make any Celebrity A List smile, or the MTV Choice Awards proud, these guys will give everything to ensure our Tigers do us proud.
