Joke of the Week Barista: How do you take your coffee?

Me: Very, very seriously.

Quote of the Week “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.” –Robert Jordan

Bruce Macdonald CLAUDE ‘The Mowerman’ Harvey could accurately be described as a foot soldier for a good cause.

His preferred footwear is the humble plugger, aka thong. He has worn out 43 pairs since walking the streets and roads of ‘The Wide Brown Land’, raising

money for the Braveheart Charity.

At 74 years young, he has lost count of the kilometres he has travelled with his trusty lawnmower.

He was in the Burdekin late last week collecting money for child victims of sexual assault. His passion for the cause was galvanised when he discovered two family

Claude Harvey met Burdekin Shire Councillor, John Furnell and Mayor Lyn McLaughlin before fundraising in Ayr

members had fallen victim to a sexual predator.

Such is his commitment to his cause that he has set himself a target of $2,000,000 to raise.

Born in Kempsey, he has worked as a dairy farmer and started a landscaping business on the Gold Coast, which he has sold to finance his fundraising trips.

He walked from his home at Tweed Heads to Sydney in 2008 with his trusty lawnmower, a journey of over 800km that took him 39 days.

Though still lean and fit, he now uses a car donated to him to reach country centres in Queensland.

“It’s covered in Braveheart’s advertising just like my mower,” he said.

Come in and join the team

We’ve moved office to our bigger and brighter 158 Queen Street location Scott Morrison WE’LL always be grateful to the beautiful Karen Quagliata (Accounting & Super) for sharing her office with us when we started Burdekin Local News in Young Street.

It gave us an outstanding opportunity to establish

He spent last Thursday and Friday morning walking up and down the Main Street in Ayr collecting for his cause.

Asked why he decided on Braveheart’s to support his cause to raise $2,000,000, he said, “they are a great organisation”. Braveheart’s has a similar opinion of Claude with a section of the site devoted to the ‘Mowerman’.

The site has a running tally of what he has raised so far and has an electronic method of taking donations at: fundraise.bravehearts.org.au/ claudethemowermanharvey if you wish to support the cause.

His current tally sits at $1,296,914, but he reckons it will be nearer $1.5 million by the time he returns home.

It’s unlikely Claude will have worn out his newest pair of thongs on this trip, but he is determined to add to the collection of thongs under the back stairs of his home before he reaches the two-million mark.

He moved on to Townsville last weekend, determined to move ever closer to his target before returning home to take a well-earned rest.

WE’RE looking for keen news hounds to join our growing team at the Burdekin Local News.

If you have a lively interest in local people and events and are handy with a camera and a keyboard, we’d love to hear from you.

Couple stunned by community generosity for fundraising event Bruce Macdonald KIMBERLEY and Paul Musolino hosted a cystic fibrosis fundraising event at Plantation Park last Sunday and are still overcome by the generosity of people from the Burdekin.

The couple’s son, Levi, has cystic fibrosis and the pair have worked tirelessly raising the profile of the condition via their Facebook site, Every Breath Counts, Cystic Fibrosis Fund Raiser, Ayr and last Sunday’s bush walk along the Burdekin River and associated activities.

Asked how much would be raised, Kimberley said she

would have been pleased with $5,000.

“To raise $11,000 is just so good, it’s unbelieveable,” she said.

The couple both carry the cystic fibrosis gene and firmed their resolve to do what they could to assist the Brisbane-based branch of the Queensland Cystic Fibrosis organisation with a donation.

“I have had people thrust money into my hand while walking down the street and Joe and Amanda from Jumping Castles Ayr didn’t charge a hire fee last Sunday. People are just so generous,” Kimberley said.

The couple will continue to run the Facebook site and

appeal to anybody who took photos during the event to post them on the site.

“We had a photographer booked to take photos but they cancelled at the last minute so we have only a couple of photos,” Kimberley said.

Asked if the event should return next year, Kimberley was undecided.

“Maybe we will look at doing something again in a few years,” she said.

“In the meantime I will continue to keep followers up to date with Levi’s condition and how he responds to various treatments,” Kimberley said.

In Brief Ship show

A boat has gone down in dramatic flames, with surrounding boats also set ablaze at Townsville’s Breakwater Marina Tuesday, August 10. QFES attended the scene, putting out the fire and sinking the vessel, as residents nearby were warned to avoid potentially toxic smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Members of the Juru clan gathered in force at the Plantation Creek tourist Park on Monday to show their support for their native title claim over land that is also claimed by the Bindal people. The matter will be determined by the Federal Court.

Hands off our land Max Tomlinson A large group of Juru clan members gathered at the Plantation Creek tourist park this week in support of the group’s long-running dispute with the Bindal people over traditional ownership of land in the Burdekin district.

The gathering followed a report in last week’s Burdekin Local News that the word “Bindal” had been painted out and replaced with the word “Juru” on a large sign welcoming visitors to the popular tourist spot.

Bindal elder and Gudjda Reference Group ranger Eddie Smallwood said the vandalism had occurred in response to the Bindal clan’s native title claim to the region. The dispute is currently before the Federal Court.

The Juru clan hit back hard this week. Over 50 Juru people, including members of the wellknown Henaway, Lampton,

Smallwood, Prior, Puller, Malayta and Ross families, gathered at the tourist park in a show of strength.

Juru senior law man, Randal Ross, strongly disputed the claim by Eddie Smallwood and the Bindal people to traditional ownership of the land in question.

“I have seen the traditional markings and cave paintings that clearly show the land between Bowen and the Ross River in Townsville is Juru land,” he said.

“Our land extends out to the Great Barrier Reef and west to the Great Divide.

“Eddie’s local heritage only goes back as far as his father; our connection with the land goes back tens of thousands of years,” he said.

“While we don’t condone vandalism of public property, enough is enough.”

“A total of nine Juru men’s remains were released to us – three are buried at Plantation Creek, three at Wunjunga, south of Home Hill, and three

in Bowen,“ he said.

“We had to prove that we were the traditional owners of this land before the bones were released to us.”

Mr Ross called for calm until the matter was finally resolved in the Federal Court.

YWAM Medical Ships calling for Burdekin support Marina Trajkovich MARGARET Taylor remembers the feeling, back in 2017 when she first stepped off a YWAM medical ship into Papua New Guinea, filled with anticipation for the new project she’d become part of.

She had joined the group of volunteers, inspired by the organisation’s work providing medical services

to remote communities via the Townsville based organisation’s medical ship.

“They take a lot of nurses and doctors and specialists, but they also need support staff as well. I thought I’d go up and help them,” said Margaret.

She explains how she assisted doctors and optometrists by conducting basic eye tests and handing

Burdekin Panthers Ladies Day to coincide with women’s soccer 100 year celebration Marina Trajkovich LADIES and soccer enthusiasts in the Burdekin are preparing to don their pastels, pinks and finest outfits in a celebration of women for the Burdekin

Panthers Football Club’s Ladies Day. The event, which takes place Saturday, August 14, at International Park, is the return of Ladies Day by the Panthers after several years,

out reading glasses within the communities they visited.

“You do feel as if you can’t do enough for them. It is just a way of giving back.”

“All the people on the boat are like-minded. You do get quite close with these people, and we are all there with the same idea of helping somebody.”

“Something that touched us all was seeing an old man

coinciding with the centenary of women’s soccer in Australia, when in 1921, the first officially publicised women’s soccer match took place.

Despite the fact that women’s soccer wasn’t accepted at the time, the game, held between the North Brisbane Reds and South Brisbane, attracted 10,000 viewers, with ‘The Gabba’ game heralded as the official beginning of women’s football in Australia.

Ladies Day committee member and player Angela Cabassi said it’d been an honour to co-organise the event this year and to acknowledge the contributions of the women in the club and the wider sporting world.

“Way back in the day, women had to play soccer in secret. We’re trying to celebrate what women do, not just in soccer but women in general,” said Cabassi.

“There are so many women who contribute to soccer, whether they’re players,

Representatives from YWAM recently visited Rotary Club of Ayr members to discuss the future of upcoming projects and the aims of the organisation, encouraging local volunteers to get involved when volunteer trips to PNG resume.

“We’re able to go in and provide health care for literally thousands of people, and it’s just such an honour,” said YWAM’S Managing Director Ken Mulligan.

“What we do is work out how we can help strengthen the infrastructure of what they’re already doing, and we also work on capacity building and training.”

“We’re very proud of having a relationship with Ayr and seeing how Ayr can contribute to the organisation,” said Mr Mulligan.

He explains that although volunteer trips to Papua New Guinea have been put on hold due to border closures, essential medical workers have been providing primary health care and assisting on the ground training in disadvantaged communities.

“It’s about friendship and helping other people find their joy and purpose as well as training and upskilling

managers, mums or girlfriends of the players, there’s a lot of background that goes into it and to celebrate everyone, all women and the hundred years is pretty special.”

She says that the event, themed, ‘Fifty Shades of Pink,’ will be a fun, relaxing day for women to get together and celebrate, with a best-dressed competition and raffle, raising money for The Australian Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.

“We wanted to make it a nice relaxing easy day so women can come together, watch a game of soccer, have a few drinks, have a laugh.”

“Everyone’s been very supportive of what we’ve been doing, and it’s been a great club effort that’s brought us together.”

Singers’ researcher needs your help Bruce Macdonald FORMER Home Hill State School principal, Lyn Butterworth, is keeping herself busy in retirement compiling a history of the Burdekin Singers and Theatre Company which will mark its 100th anniversary in July next year.

Mrs Butterworth joined the club in 1974 and her husband, Frank, also joined soon after they married in 1975.

“Frank was a builder by trade and appeared on the stage a few times but he worked mainly on preparing props for the stage productions,” Mrs Butterworth explained.

The club was originally known as the Ayr Choral Society something Mrs Butterworth wasn’t aware of until she started on the history project.

Mrs Butterworth is on the lookout for old photos way back to the 1920s and through each decade since then.

“My plan is to feature photos prominently then do a summary of each decade in words documenting what happened from the very beginning when it was the choral society,” she explained.

“I’m relying on the community to help me with photographs and information from the old days,” she added.

Lyn Butterworth is spending as much as five hours a day sourcing information, collating it and placing it into the decades for the 100th Anniversary book.

It hasn’t been easy going sourcing material for the book via the Burdekin’s now defunct News Limited-owned papers, the Ayr Advocate and the Home Hill Observer.

Both mastheads were closed in 2020 and Mrs Butterworth’s enquiries for access revealed all copies were sent to the News Limited offices in Brisbane.

“I haven’t been able to get to Brisbane to check in the library down there lately but I do know that there is some material in the library here but I’m hoping to find more photographs,” she said.

Interestingly, Mrs

Butterworth has found that people’s perceptions of past history are a ‘memory’ not an accurate report and prefers primary source material where possible.

Mrs Butterworth did find some interesting material in the ‘Ayr Notes’ section of The Townsville Bulletin which has proved interesting,” she said.

“Most of the notes were reports of club meetings which have been very helpful,” she said.

She started her research in 2018 and was hoping to have it completed by the end of the year but it seems at this stage to be a little optimistic.

“I think it will be nearer the anniversary date in July,” she said.

“I’m spending as much as five hours a day sourcing information, collating it and placing it into the decades,” she added.

To give readers an indication of the productions put on by the club, this is the list of musicals from 1995 – Grease; 1996 - Fiddler On The Roof; 1997 - Jesus Christ Superstar; 1998 - Pirates of Penzance; 1998 - Peter Pan; 1999 – Cinderella; 2001 - Les Miserables; 2002 - Secret Garden; 2003 – Oklahoma; 2004 – Copacabana; 2005 -

Get ready to ‘Rock Around The Clock’ Bruce Macdonald CLINTON Maltby and his wife Amanda are keen rock and roll dancers who met on the dance floor at a Townsville rock and roll club in the 1990s.

Work opportunities took them to Giru, where Amanda is director of the daycare centre and Clinton runs an auto electrical business.

“Both of us had stopped dancing regularly, and when we did, the long haul up to Townville was getting too much for us,” Amanda said.

“We knew there was no club in Ayr, so we got talking and decided to start our own,” she added.

That was back in April, and now they run dance and instruction nights at the Ayr Junior Football Club on Beach Road from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm.

The cost per head, including dance moves instruction, is $10.

The couple’s two children, James, 16 and Charlotte, 9, are regulars, but mum Amanda wouldn’t be drawn on who is the better dancer.

Back to the 80’s; 2005 – Honk; 2006 - Disco Inferno; 2007 - Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat; 2007 - Full Monty; 2008 – Oliver; 2009 - Big River; 2010 – Annie; 2011 – Suessical; 2012 – Grease; 2013 – Cats; 2014 - Jesus Christ Superstar; 2015 - Boy From Oz; 2016 - The Addams Family; 2016 - Shrek Jnr; 2017 - Peter Pan Jnr; 2018 – Chicago; 2019 – Wicked; 2020 - Beauty and The Beast.

Burdekin Singers brings together the talents of the region’s amateur performers, whether in musicals, theatre, festivals or concerts.

The club’s purpose is to foster the development of the art in the community.

All members of the public are welcome to join Burdekin Singers. Audition information for upcoming shows is published on Facebook.

If behind-the-scenes work is more your style, we are always delighted to welcome people who love backstage work, costuming and sewing, construction.

SOMETHING’S BREWING IN BRANDON

Green Waste bins contaminated with domestic rubbish

Lazy residents cheating the waste system Bruce Macdonald LAZY Burdekin residents continue to load up green waste bins with domestic rubbish, which they should deposit in the red-lidded bin.

General domestic rubbish found in the green waste pad at Kirknie Landfill has increased noticeably recently.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said the three-bin system was designed to reduce crosscontamination of waste and make disposal easier for residents.

“In the Burdekin, we have a three-bin system, with all general waste disposed of in a red-lidded bin, recyclables in a yellow-lidded bin, and green waste disposed of in a green-lidded bin, with general waste collected weekly and the others collected

on a fortnightly basis,” Cr McLaughlin said.

“When a bin is full, please do not dispose of general waste in your yellow or greenlidded bins – Burdekin waste facilities offer free dumping of most sorted domestic waste for when you have excess rubbish. It is important not to contaminate collections that are either being sent off to be recycled or processed into mulch.

“As well as operating a three-bin collection service, the Burdekin’s Transfer Stations and Landfill offer an impressive range of sorted waste disposal sites, from flares and fire extinguishers to mattresses, white goods, concrete and more.”

For more information on Burdekin waste collection services, visit burdekin.qld. gov.au/waste-recycling.

Doug Green Robert Green

Bruce Macdonald RENOVATIONS are underway at the Iron Works Brewery in Brandon to build a taphouse bar beside the brewing room which supplies craft beer to outlets in Brisbane and one in Townsville.

It is the brainchild of brothers Doug and Robert Green, who was recently granted an artisan’s licence to brew craft beer.

The bar is on the site of a foundry and ironworks that opened in 1906 to service sugar mills in the district.

The foundry still operates but has been scaled back in recent years.

“Robert and myself live and breathe brewing beer, so I suppose it made sense for us to open a bar for other beer

lovers,” Doug said.

And there will be benefits for the community beyond offering a selection of up to eight craft beers.

“We will be training a local to learn the brewing craft and also hope to create a tourist destination using parts of the old foundry to highlight how it operated over 100 years ago,” Doug said.

The taphouse bar will be industrial themed in keeping with the foundry itself, but Doug said there would be a couple of modern touches.

“The toilets will feature tiles from France and hand basins and pedestals from Norway,” he said.

The Green family can trace their involvement with foundries in England back 200 years, and forebears set up

the first foundry in Brisbane before moving to Brandon in 1906.

In an ironic twist, Doug’s great grandfather was a preacher and steadfastly opposed to alcohol. He also drove the first Model T Ford in the Burdekin.

According to Doug, the Japanese tried to bomb the foundry during World War II but were off target by about 20 kilometres.

“The district needs a lift, and we reckon the brewery and bar could develop into a popular tourist destination

with tours of the foundry included,” Doug said.

And the Burdekin Shire Council councillors agree, passing the application without any objections in February.

The brothers moved to shift the focus of the foundry operation in 2016, and even though the foundry still operates, the taphouse and brewery are seen as having great potential.

And when the two brothers don’t just enjoy drinking the amber fluid but brewing it, the new direction was a sure bet.

The builders of the Invicta Mill, 1921

Paula Scarabel is sorting through the original historical records of the Invicta Mill, a year-long project.

Invicta Mill to celebrate 100 years A Giru local has been digging up old records to create an Invicta Mill history exhibit for its 100-year anniversary.

Marina Trajkovich PAULA Scarabel from Giru remembers sitting with her brothers and sisters at sevenyears-old and watching Santa Claus arrive at the Invicta Mill.

It’s one of her earliest memories of Invicta and of seeing the sense of community exuded by its dozens of workers as they paraded down to their work Christmas party in 1964.

“I’ve been in Giru all my life. My father had a hauling contract with the mill,” said Paula, now 57.

“Me and my sister and brothers used to sit on the footpath and watch Santa Claus come and give everyone

presents. We weren’t officially part of the mill, so hadn’t been invited!”

Now the project systems specialist of Wilmar, Paula, laughs as she revisits the old memories.

Fifty years on, she’s come to truly appreciate her family’s connection to the mill and the town’s history as she endeavours to sort through the original historical records of the Invicta Mill, a year-long project.

The youngest of the Burdekin’s mills, Invicta has employed hundreds of local workers and families for generations, with crushing first beginning August 6 1921.

“My connection is that my

great-grandfather was one of the first cane suppliers to the mill. And I didn’t know that before I started looking through the old records here.

“He was supplying cane in 1921. On my mother’s side, my grandfather came to Giru in 1944, and he helped supply the wood for the boilers. He had a truck and would cart wood to the mill.”

Paula explains that her brother and her now-husband also started as apprentices at the Invicta Mill, where her partner remains today as a fitter and a turner.

“I got a job here when I was 18. My sister’s children and my brother’s children have also worked here.”

An avid lover of history and treasurer of the Giru Progress Association, Paula discovered the existence of the old records in June 2020.

She took on the mammoth task of sorting through the handwritten records, original transactions and photographs, that had been left untouched for years.

“That was the most exciting part, finding records from 1919 onwards. All that paperwork and writing, it’s just amazing how much time they would have put into it.”

“Once you start going through them, you can’t stop.

You do get into it.”

“I’ve got a lot of stuff like old ledgers and a lot of it in

handwriting. When I saw all these records, I just thought we’ve got to do something with this.”

Although intended as a display for anniversary celebrations, originally planned for this Friday, August 12, Paula’s historical exhibit will now be shown at the postponed centenary in October, after COVID lockdowns delayed the event.

Wilmar will be celebrating the centenary with an employee lunch and a cake cutting, August 12, with bigger celebrations and historical displays planned for the end of the year.

Paula says that after the event, the Invicta exhibit will go towards a Giru museum she is working on with the Giru

Progress Association.

She hopes that more people will get involved, sharing their stories and family histories, which will contribute to a museum space for residents.

“I’d love to have this information more easily available to everyone,” said Paula.

“It’s really interesting to see who those people were, and there’s still their descendents here which I don’t think they even realise.

“At our primary school, we have five students who are descendants of the original farmers.”

“That’s what’s gonna keep me going. I’m proud to do it.

It’s a privilege and an honour to do it.”

Burdekin Motor Group celebrates 21 years BURDEKIN Motor Group Dealer Principal, James Jensen has been there since it all began in the year 2000.

“Thank you to our community for your continued support over the last 21 years, we would not be here without you,” Mr Jensen said.

“Burdekin Motor Group began with one franchise and over the last two decades has grown to six new car brands and a large range of quality used cars.”

“We employ 22 locals across our sales, service and parts department and are supported by our parent company Pickerings Group in

Big, big, big brass band experience Bruce Macdonald MUSIC lovers are in for a treat at the Burdekin Theatre on Saturday night when three brass bands take to the stage playing tunes made famous by the likes of Dolly Parton, Elton John, plus John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

And don’t worry, When The Saints Go Marching In and Seventy Six Trombones are on the playlist.

Taking the stage will be the Burdekin Brass Band, the Thuringowa Brass Band from Townsville and a student band made up of musicians from both Ayr and Home Hill high schools plus primary school players from both districts.

“As best as I am aware, it’s the first time three brass

bands have played together in the Burdekin,” president of the Burdekin Brass Band, Larry Hudson, said.

Mr Hudson said the show’s highlight would be after the interval when all three bands take to the stage in a unique performance not seen in the Burdekin before.

Quite apart from presenting quality entertainment to the public, the performance is a pathway for young musicians to fine-tune their skills in front of an audience.

Mr Hudson said the Queensland Education Department’s music education teacher is a band member and runs learner classes.

The Burdekin Brass Band has entertained music lovers in the district for 100 years,

according to Mr Hudson, bringing residents from Ayr and Home Hill who often don’t see eye-to-eye together.

Mr Hudson said the band is a regular fixture at most major community events annually

and will continue to do so.

A priority for the club this year, according to Mr Hudson, is to promote young players to join the Burdekin Brass Band.

“People don’t need to own

an instrument to receive free tuition,” Mr Hudson said.

“They will have the opportunity to play a variety of instruments valued from $1,500 to $15,000 each,” he added.

If you plan to attend the concert at the Burdekin Theatre, get in quick to watch this unique concert.

BCHS Class of 2011 to celebrate reunion

Marina Trajkovich EX-BURDEKIN Catholic High School students are readying for a trip down memory lane, as they plan for their ten-year reunion this week.

Organiser Emily Pucciarmati, who is now a Vet with Burdekin Veterinary Services and a mother of a baby boy has been organising the get-together, which will commence with a tour of the renovated school before a get together at the Queens.

“I was the school captain for that year and I think it’s a hidden tradition that the school captains organise it,” said Emily.

“I’m really looking forward

to the school tour, to see how the school’s changed, followed by some drinks and nibbles.”

“We were the last cohort to go through the original building facing Gibson Street and in 10 years the school has developed a lot with a huge amount of new infrastructure.

“That’s probably the most exciting thing about the weekend, seeing how BCHS has transformed into this elite school, it makes me so proud to have been a part of it.”

Assisting with organising the event are ex-students Tayla Quaqliata and retired BCHS teacher Paula Sexton.

“A lot of people have stayed in town. A lot of people have

been restricted because they live down south but about 30 to 40 people are coming and some ex-teachers as well.

“I’m really excited because I think when it all kicks off we’ll be right back to where we left off.”

Danny Burke, a solicitor with Connolly Suthers will also be attending the reunion.

“I think it’ll be great to see everyone’s faces again, people I haven’t seen in a long time.

“It’s crazy that it’s been ten years.”

The BCHS High School Reunion will take place on Saturday August14.

Former Ayr High School Captain Ian Doyle OAM (B.Ec., Dip.Ed.) now lives in busy semi-retirement in South Australia following a stellar career in the media and a lifelong involvement in community affairs.

Former Ayr High School Captain Ian Doyle OAM (B.Ec., Dip.Ed.) now lives in busy semi-retirement in South Australia following a stellar career in the media and a lifelong involvement in community affairs.

Ian’s contribution to the media and the organisations he has been involved in led to the award of an Order of Australia Medal in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

The Back of Beyond Collection (2004) about the life of legendary outback mailman Tom Kruse MBE was launched on Saturday July 24th 2004 in Marree on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Back of Beyond at Marree in 1954.

DMS produced the one-hour story Three Men & A Boat – the MFV Tacoma Story (2013). It was aired by ABC Landline. The documentary tells the story of Australia’s pioneering tuna fishing vessel, the Port Lincoln-based MFV Tacoma.

The documentary has been provided to the Tacoma Preservation Society (TPS) as a fundraiser. The TPS is the group responsible for maintaining the vessel and celebrating its contribution to this country’s maritime and fishing history.

Since 2014, as a volunteer, Ian has been advocating on behalf of the TPS with the Port Lincoln Council and the State Government to construct an appropriate berth for the vessel in the Port Lincoln Marina in recognition of the significant contribution the vessel has made to Port Lincoln and South Australia.

Ian co-chaired the publicly funded Tom Kruse Bust Appeal from 2008 to 2010. The Appeal resulted in commissioning five lifesized bronze busts of the legendary dam sinker and Birdsville Track mailman.

Ian, son of the late truck driver Roy and Blue Nurse Betty (nee Miller) Doyle of Lawson Street East Ayr, made a nostalgic return to his alma mater earlier this year – the 50th anniversary of his graduation.

DMS conducts regular one-on-one and group media training courses for both the government and corporate sectors and is involved in organizing major events such as the endurance horseriding event, the Tom Quilty Gold Cup, and the 15th IFOAM World Organic Congress in 2005.

After leaving Ayr High School in 1971, Ian studied Economics at James Cook University and added a Diploma in Education qualification from Queensland University.

DMS consults to the Charles Hawker Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund. Since 2000 Ian has facilitated the launch, promotion and presentation of the C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship.

During Ian’s visit to Ayr High School earlier this year, he took the opportunity to address students about the benefits associated with the Hawker Scholarship.

Ian is highly regarded by his peers in the media. He has been President of Rural Media South Australia (RMSA),Vice President of the Australian Council of Agricultural Journalists (ACAJ) and was a significant contributor to the co-ordination the International Federation of Agricultural Journalist (IFAJ) World Congress in Australia in 2000.

Ian has been happily married to Channel 7 News Presenter Jane Doyle for 41 years. Jane and Ian have a son, Henry, who works in hospitality and media after having completed an Arts degree at Adelaide University in 2020.

Ian’s many awards include the Dalgety Farmers Limited South Australian Award for Excellence in Rural Journalism, the Dalgety Farmers Limited National Award for Excellence in Rural Journalism, the Sir Condor Laucke Award for his contribution to the South Australian Grains Industry, the Telstra Bigpond Rural Online Journalist of the Year Award and life membership of Rural Media SA. He is a regular visitor to Townsville, the Burdekin and Charters Towers to catch up with friends and family.

Ian, who is a sought-after MC and after-dinner speaker, enjoys stimulating and intelligent conversations with interesting people, hitting a golf ball and sipping the occasional glass of outstanding South Australian Shiraz wine.

He then taught at Blackheath and Thornburgh College in Charters Towers for five years where he met his future wife, fellow Charters Towers schoolteacher Jane Buckley.

The couple shared an interest in journalism and gained valuable experience at The Northern Miner newspaper in Charters Towers.

This experience led to Ian’s decision to join the ABC. After Ian and Jane were married, they elected to further their careers by moving to South Australia where both their careers blossomed.

Ian’s radio and TV skills led to a rapid rise in responsibilities, presenting and reporting for programs such as ABC TV’s Countrywide and Landline, the Country Hour, Australia All Over, Tony Delroy’s Nightlife, ABC TV and Channel 7 weather, 1395 5AA Mornings, ABC Early Mornings and 891 ABC Adelaide’s breakfast program.

Ian’s wife Jane Doyle’s career also took off. She has been anchoring Channel 7’s top-rating news program since 1989 and is consistently voted South Australia’s most popular TV personality.

Former Ayr State High School captain Ian Doyle (right) was welcomed by Principal Mr Craig Whittred when he paid a nostalgic visit to his alma mater earlier this year, 50 years after having left the school

Ian’s career at the ABC led to promotion to the post of Executive Producer of the South Australian Rural Department, acting State Manager ABC Radio and Television and acting Head of ABC Rural nationally.

In 1997, Ian resigned from the ABC to establish a media production and consulting company, Doyle Media Services SA Pty Ltd. DMS has completed several TV documentaries for the Seven Network’s World Around Us program, SBS’s Global Village and ABC TV’s Landline program.

The documentaries include Last Mail From Birdsville – the Story of Tom Kruse (1999) and the Centenary of Federation’s Source to Sea - the Story of the Murray Riverboats (2001).

HIPPY celebrates Indigenous Children for Children’s Day Early learning organisation celebrates national Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day Marina Trajkovich CENTACARE’S HIPPY program celebrated National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day last week, with an afternoon of celebration and culture at Ayr’s ANZAC Park.

The event is part of an Australia-wide celebration of Indigenous children and their cultures every August 4th, a date chosen to honour communally the often unknown birthdays of children of the Stolen Generation.

HIPPY Burdekin Coordinator Rebecca Aldridge says that HIPPY has participated in the Children’s Day for the last five years, honouring the communities Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander families.

“It was a really nice afternoon where the children were able to enjoy themselves, and the children’s response was absolutely fantastic,” said Rebecca.

Attended by representatives from Bur-Del’s Early Learning Centre, Gudjuda Reference Group and Aboriginal Corporation and BAY Watch, the day was an opportunity for families to learn more about the HIPPY program, which helps children transition into their school years.

The program provides families with extra guidance to support their children’s early learning, with handson activity packs centred on a child’s learning and development and mentoring

from a HIPPY tutor.

“We do like to encourage as many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders into the program as possible.

“It’s very centred around social and emotional skills and building that confidence around relationships.

“That’s something we try to help families with, giving them that voice to talk to their educator about how their children are developing.”

“By doing activities the parents can help them with, we work on how to teach that child and discover the learning style of that child as well.”

Indigenous families already involved with the HIPPY program were invited to share cultural activities and stories.

And visitors experienced the Carnival of Joy, a travelling art installation featuring giant sculptures of Australian animals.

“It’s keeping the culture alive but also sharing it with the community. We’re celebrating it and sharing it with each other, and I always get very teary when I see the younger ones, especially the babies engaging in things like cultural dancing with the older dancers, a two-year-old who already has that pride. It’s lovely to see.”

UniX Roadshow to come to Ayr JAMES Cook University’s travelling campus experience, UniX Roadshow, is coming to town, with residents and students given the opportunity to speak to university representatives about what various career and study options can offer.

The travelling roadshow is an interactive experience designed to give students insights into life at JCU, heading to Burdekin Catholic High School on Tuesday, August 17.

“Visitors can be transported to our Cairns and Townsville campuses through Virtual Reality tours,” said Kiara Cantamessa, the team leader of activations at James Cook University.

Interactive activities include insights into JCU’s popular marine biology courses and virtual exploration of the depths of the oceans, and a gaming challenge against a mechanical robotic arm.

Students are also invited to plan their own towns, and future engineers can try their hand at building small-scale structures and test their strength.

JCU representatives will also be there to answer any questions about courses, scholarships and uni life.

“It’s a great opportunity for people to come and talk to the JCU team in their own community town,” said Ms Cantamessa.

“We understand it can be hard to travel these days, which is why we have created a mobile event concept to take on the road and into schools and around regional Queensland.

“If people miss this event, we do have our upcoming Virtual Open Day on Tuesday 14 September from 4 pm-7 pm.”

Moderna vaccine approved for use in Australia The first million doses of Moderna are expected to arrive in September and will be available in pharmacies Marina Trajkovich THE Moderna vaccine has been approved for use in adult Australians over 18 this week by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), in a concerted push to improve vaccination efforts across the country.

“Our world-class regulator, the TGA, has given the green light to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, finding it safe, effective, and the best way to stop severe illness and hospitalisation,” said Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

“Every vaccination saves lives and gets us one step

closer to reaching 70 per cent of Australians, aged over 16, vaccinated before the end of the year.”

“Now we have Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca available as well as more doctors, more nurses and more pharmacists to help get jabs in arms.”

The Australian Government has already secured 25 million Moderna doses, with the first million expected to arrive in September.

Planning is underway for these vaccines to roll out through approved pharmacies and other providers.

A total of 10 million doses will be dispatched to Australia in 2021 and a further 15 million booster doses in the first half of 2022.

The Moderna vaccine is an mRNA vaccine, the same vaccine type as the Pfizer vaccine, which is already in use in Australia.

The Moderna vaccine has been found to have strong efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 and severe COVID-19 in clinical trials.

It has been widely used in the United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union, the United States and Singapore,

where it has either regulatory approval or emergency authorisation.

The TGA approval notes the Moderna vaccine will require

two doses to be administered 28 days apart.

Data to support the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in younger Australians,

aged 12 to 17 years, is being reviewed by the TGA and further decisions may be made in the coming weeks.

New studies show link between oral health and heart attacks Decades of research has confirmed the link between gum disease and other medical conditions Marina Trajkovich

The KIDS Foundation seeks support for child safety mission THE KIDS Foundation has launched its first public campaign this August, calling for Australians to ‘put their hand up’ and raise awareness for children impacted by injury and trauma.

New data has revealed that 5,000 children present to the emergency department every day, many with injuries resulting from an incident in their home, from preventable accidents to neglect and abuse.

“Approximately one-third of the children who come to the KIDS Foundation have been injured by a parent and often under the most horrific circumstances,” Dr Susie O’Neill, Founder of the KIDS Foundation, said.

“Our team help trauma survivors who have experienced horrific injuries caused by burns, dog attacks, crime, neglect and abuse.

The ‘Put Your Hand Up’ campaign is supported by a host of Australian sporting identities, including Dr

Richard ‘Harry’ Harris OAM who led the miraculous 2018 Thai cave rescue of school children.

Australians are urged to buy a pair of gloves from the organisation, supporting the work they do in preventing childhood injuries and supporting children who’ve experienced physical trauma.

Dr O’Neill says that with financial support dropping by 85 per cent in the last eighteen months, the foundation is seeking help to continue its outreach, advocacy and childhood recovery programs to make the country safer for Australian children.

“Through our prevention and recovery programs, and camps we also educate and empower children and their families every day,” said Dr O’Neill.

NEW medical research has identified a link between gum disease and other health issues, like heart problems, type 2 diabetes and pregnancy complications.

The studies build on decades worth of dental research, confirming previously unknown relationships between dental issues and health problems elsewhere in the body.

Prof Joerg Eberhard, an oral health scientist and Chair of Lifespan Oral Health at the University of Sydney’s School of Dentistry, concluded in a recent study that not brushing your teeth caused inflammation which could trigger heart problems.

“We asked a cohort of healthy young people with no cardiovascular risk factors, to not brush the same quadrant of their mouths, that’s seven teeth, for three weeks, to see what effect it would have on their health,” explained Prof.

Eberhard.

“After three weeks, we measured the inflammation in that quadrant of the mouth, and we found the inflammation caused by not brushing there had reached other parts of their body.

“But as soon as they started brushing that quadrant again, C-reactive protein, a risk marker for heart attacks, went down to normal levels. It’s another clear and concerning link between mouth health and whole of body health.”

Extensive research over decades has found that the main conditions that link the mouth with the rest of the body are cardiovascular, type 2 diabetes and adverse

pregnancy outcomes.

International studies show a link between treating gum disease and reducing blood pressure, with inflammation in gum disease linked to a loss of elasticity in blood vessels that causes blood pressure issues.

Early studies conducted into the effects of periodontitis, a gum disease, on pregnant women also suggest that if gum disease is treated, the risk of having a premature baby declines.

“These serious health conditions and events can be significantly reduced if people regularly look after their mouths,” said Australian Dental Association’s Oral Health Promoter, Dr Mikaela Chinotti.

“That means brushing twice a day with a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, flossing daily,

eating a diet low in sugar and seeing your dentist regularly for checkups.”

Gum disease affects one in three adult Australians.

Wongaloo Open Day will offer a unique chance to explore hidden gem.

AN NQ Dry Tropics event on Sunday, August 15, will provide nature lovers with an opportunity to visit a breathtaking local wetland not usually accessible to the public.

Wongaloo is part of the Bowling Green Bay wetland system, known as a haven for birdlife and considered one of the natural jewels in the lower Burdekin’s crown.

Bowling Green Bay is one of only five wetland sites in Queensland listed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, recognising extra special sites that meet particular criteria, such as supporting habitat for water birds and endangered species.

Ramsar is the Iranian city at which the Convention was signed in 1971.

NQ Dry Tropics Wetlands Team Leader Scott Fry said the Wongaloo open day had

Wilmar Sugar THE first raw sugar of the 2021 season has shipped out of the Port of Mackay.

Local growers looked on as raw sugar produced at Wilmar’s Plane Creek and Proserpine mills was loaded into the MV Mareeba bulk carrier.

It was destined for Sugar Australia’s Yarraville Refinery in Melbourne where it will be processed into a wide range of sugar products for the iconic CSR Sugar brand and for Australian food and beverage customers.

The Mackay Port tour was organised by Wilmar’s Plane Creek Grower Marketing Consultant Angus McKerrow and Mackay Sugar Terminal Mechanical Supervisor Hamish Beveridge to give cane growers greater insight into the sugar supply chain that begins on their farms and ends on supermarket shelves in Australia and overseas.

Mr McKerrow said nine growers from the Plane Creek region attended the port tour on 20 July.

“The growers were excited to witness raw sugar that originated from their local mill and potentially, their farms, being loaded into a ship.

“It was the first shipment for the 2021 season, so it was

also about being present for that milestone: the first of the new season sugar to leave the region.”

Mr McKerrow said the growers got an appreciation for the processes around storing and loading sugar, and the procedures around quality sampling.

“The logistics of handling sugar – from delivery, through to storage and loading – are quite complex, and there are a lot of controls in place to maintain the quality of that sugar from port to port.

“Many thanks goes to Mackay Terminal Manager Mike Panke and Hamish Beveridge for facilitating such a great tour.”

$2 BILLION SUGAR CRUSH REACHES 25% MILESTONE Australian Sugar Milling Council AUSTRALIA’S $2 billion sugarcane crush has passed the 25% mark with more than 8 million tonnes of the estimated 31.4 million tonnes having been processed.

This compares favourably to the same time last year when 7.4 million tonnes had been crushed. A pleasing feature of this year’s crop is that the average sugar level is up significantly this year with the Australian average to date sitting at a CCS (commercial

cane sugar or sugar content) level of 13.

The Australian Sugar Milling Council’s Director, Industry and Government Affairs Jim Crane says after a difficult start to the season with rain disrupting the harvest in all regions, mills are working under COVID safe conditions and now edging towards weekly totals of around 1.5 million tonnes crushed per week.

“It’s critical for the sugarcane crush to be progressing as the industry supports 23,000 jobs,” Mr

Crane said.

“The cool, dry conditions that have prevailed over the past few weeks have seen ground conditions for harvest improve and contributed to steep increases in sugar levels in the Herbert/Burdekin and Central regions.”

“The weekly average for the Herbert/Burdekin was up 1.5 units of CCS on the 2020 result for the same week with the average in the Burdekin sitting at a very high level of 14.78 CCS for the week including a high sample of 18 CCS on a rake of cane

supplied in the Pioneer Mill area.”

Mr Crane said that with 25% of the crop harvested, the 31.4 million tonnes estimate remains current although this was an outcome of it cutting out slightly above estimate in some regions and below in other regions.

“Raw sugar production has now passed 1 million tonnes for the season. With improved sugar prices prevailing, this production to date is valued at more than AU$500 million,” he concluded.

New northern spice industry gains momentum CQUniversity THE results are in from the 2020/21 summer black sesame field trials, during which the CQUniversity Spicing Up Northern Australia research project expanded from small plot varietal assessments to larger areas for bulking up seed supplies.

Across the six regions participating in the project, spanning Central and North Qld and the Northern Territory, there were two growers in each area, plus an additional grower from the Ord area of Western Australia, demonstrating growing excitement at the potential for the development of a viable black sesame industry across Northern Australia.

Such is the growing inquiry from farmers that seed company AgriVentis Technologies has this week appointed a new agronomist, Andrew McDonald, to work with growers across Northern Australia in maximizing yields and returns as they learn the nuances of growing spices.

“It’s a really exciting time to be involved in the cropping industry with so much interest and opportunity in Northern Australia to expand production and establish new crops that are suited to the unique and often challenging conditions of the region,” Mr McDonald said.

“The results of the summer trials show there’s huge potential for a viable northern spice industry, which is demonstrated by the increasing number of farmers participating in the trials, but there are also a number of challenges we still need to overcome to maximise their returns.”

CQUniversity is leading the large-scale research project funded by the CRC for Developing Northern Australia, part of the Australian Government’s CRC Program and supported by AgriVentis, and has been assessing the suitability of black sesame, fennel, carraway, kalonji, and cumin to broadacre production.

Lead researcher Dr Surya Bhattarai, of CQUniversity, said high black sesame crop yields had now been proven, but two big challenges remained in minimising losses from machine harvesters and refining weed control strategies.

“The summer trial results showed hand-harvested yields from the sample plots ranged from 306 to 2607kg/ha, while machine harvested seed yield ranged from 85-1088kg/ha, with the difference attributed to significant seed loss in the machine harvest,” Dr Bhattarai said.

“Seasonal conditions also impacted yields, with the highest yields recorded in Biloela, followed by Rockhampton and Darwin, with the lowest in Katherine.”

Meanwhile, winter planting has now been completed at all research sites across Northern Australia, with fennel, kalonji and black sesame planted in trials targeting specific crops to specific environmental conditions. Carraway and cumin have not been included

after they did not perform well enough in preliminary trials to warrant further assessment.

Kalonji has been planted at three sites at Rockhampton, while kalonji and fennel have planted in Biloela. Black sesame and fennel – both previously assessed as summer crops – were planted in Ayr and Tully in July to trial as winter crops along with kalonji, while in the NT fennel will also be trialled as winter crop.

“For this winter’s trial only one site per region, except for Rockhampton, will be used, but a larger area has been planted (1ha or more) for seed bulking,” Dr Bhattarai said. “Based on the results of the winter trials, additional growers will be sought for next year’s winter planting.”

QSL Market Update

current as of 10 August 2021

Raw Sugar prices

• A further downgrading of the Centre South (CS) Brazil sugarcane crop saw raw sugar prices spike at the later stage of last week, pushing the front ICE 11 raw sugar futures contracts out to new life-of-contract highs. The October 2021 contract traded from a weekly low on the Tuesday of 17.74 USc/lb up to a new high of 18.92 USc/lb on Friday before closing the week up 4.3% at 18.68 USc/lb.

• Now that the dust has settled from the third frost in CS Brazil cane regions, traders have once again reduced their 2021-Season forecasts, leading some to believe that Brazilian sugar producers may be over-hedged. One Asian-based trade house announced they have revised their Brazilian estimate down to 490-500 million tonnes of cane and 28 million tonnes of sugar, well below the current market consensus of 31-33 million tonnes of sugar.

• To fill the supply gap created by a smaller CS Brazil crop, the market is looking to India to export additional tonnage, now made viable by rising ICE 11 sugar prices. Some reports suggest India has already committed to 800,000 tonnes of export sugar for the 21/22 Season.

• The Brazilian currency softened 1.8% across the week, with the Real trading at 5.24 vs the US Dollar. Firming ethanol prices in Brazil pushed spot ethanol parity to strengthen slightly at 17.58 USc/lb equivalent.

• As of Tuesday 3 August, speculators maintained their large net-long position of 213,000 lots, slightly down week on week. Given the significant rally on 5/6 August, this position is likely to be 10-20,000 lots larger on a live basis.

Currency

• For a second week in a row the Australia Dollar (AUD) floated in the 73-74 US cent range as global markets entertain further risk-on appetite. The AUD hit its weekly low of 73.29 US cents last Monday before trading to a high of 74.27 US cents on Wednesday and eventually closing the week almost flat at 73.56 US cents.

• The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) met for its August meeting last Tuesday and, despite extended lockdowns in Sydney and a sixth lockdown in Victoria, remained optimistic towards Australia’s economic recovery. Markets were surprised when the RBA stuck to its plans of tapering its quantitative easing purchases from $5 billion per week to $4 billion per week starting in early September.

• The US labour market made headlines last Friday, printing significantly stronger data for the month of July. The unemployment rate fell from 5.9% to 5.4% and non-farm payrolls rose 943,000 jobs across the month. Average hourly earnings and the participation rate also surprised to the upside, leading markets to believe the Fed could announce a tapering to its own quantitative easing program sooner rather than later.

• In China, an outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 put markets on high alert. Case numbers are now over 300 so far, spread across almost half of the 32 provinces. Brent crude oil prices weakened to $US72.51 per barrel after a Chinese analyst predicted a potential 5% decline in demand from this latest wave of the infection.

Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups Serves 4 Prep time: 25 mins Cook time: 35 mins

Ingredients 4 large sheets of fresh lasagna pasta (roughly 27×20 cm) 1/2 jar Italian Herb sauce 1 recipe Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce (recipe below) 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded 1 cup Parmesan, grated 1 large ball Burrata cheese for topping oregano for garnish For the Chicken Spinach Mixture 1/2 jar Italian Herb sauce 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 500g ground dark meat chicken 500g fresh spinach salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Method For the Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add the ground meat and sauté for 8-10 minutes until cooked. Add the spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add the Italian Herb sauce into the pan and stir to combine.

Reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes.

To Assemble 1. Layout 2 of the large pasta sheets on a clean countertop. Spread a thin layer of the Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce on each sheet of pasta followed by parmesan and mozzarella. Place another sheet of pasta on top. Spread another thin layer of the Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce evenly across the second pasta sheet, leaving one edge uncovered with sauce to seal the roll closed. Roll both sets of the layered pasta into 2 logs and place them in the refrigerator to chill.

Preheat oven to 200°C. 2. Once cool, slice the lasagna log into pinwheels, about 2cm thick. Spoon some of the Italian Herb sauce into a baking dish to cover the entire bottom of the dish. Lay lasagna pinwheels into the dish, cut sides facing up until the dish is full. Place in the oven and bake for about fifteen minutes or until pasta edges are golden brown. Top with a tiny bit of the burrata strewn across and some fresh oregano. Serve family-style.

10-Minute Chocolate Truffles Method Prep time: 10 minutes

Line a small plate or dish with parchment paper and set it aside.

Ingredients

Add pitted dates, melted coconut oil, and water to a food processor (a blender can also work, but not as well).

10 Medjool dates, pitted (about 3/4 cup or 180 g packed) 1 tbsp coconut oil 2 tbsp water 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder or cocoa powder (plus more for rolling) 3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Mix until small bits remain or a paste forms.

Add cacao powder, vanilla, cashew butter, and a healthy pinch of salt and blend again to combine.

Next, add almond flour in 1/4-cup (28 g) measurements until the mixture forms a ball in the food processor.

Scrape down sides as needed. You’re going for a sticky energy-bite texture (see photo).

Use a scoop or lightly oiled 1-Tbsp measuring spoon to 1 ½ tbsp cashew butter (or sub other scoop out 1-Tbsp amounts of the mixture to roll into balls nut or seed butter) between the palms of your hands. They can stick a little 1 healthy pinch sea salt bit if you work slowly, so try not to over handle them. If too sticky, add a bit of cacao powder to the mixture and/ 1/2 -3/4 cup almond flour or your hands to limit sticking.

Transfer to the parchment-lined plate or dish to prevent sticking. Repeat until all truffles are formed — as the recipe is written, about 16.

Optional: Empty a small amount of cacao powder into a shallow dish or bowl and roll the truffles around to coat.

This helps prevent them from sticking and also adds a more intense chocolate flavour.

At this point, you can enjoy them as is. Or, for a firmer truffle, transfer to the freezer to set for 30 minutes. Store leftover truffles covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

What’s on

‘Olympic’ effort by touring Pete The Sheep crew THE cast crew of Sydneybased Monkey Baa, who are bringing Pete The Sheep stage production to the Burdekin Theatre this August 13, are one of the few touring companies still operating during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Fortunately, the team subscribe to the philosophy that the ‘show must go on’.

“Managing a tour in 2021 has an Olympic style degree of difficulty with state

borders and restrictions, and even guidelines on school excursions impact whether our shows will go ahead,” said stage manager Cally Bartley.

“With some expert planning, hedging our bets on how restrictions might change, and honestly just plain luck, we have managed to stay on the road and continue the tour here to Queensland,” she added.

And to those of you who put off having a flu injection

each year, everybody in the Monkey Baa touring party has a COVID-19 test every Friday.

“I think we may be a small few who can say we have had the test in almost every state and territory,” Ms Bartley said.

“Each one of the tour party talks about their favourite place that they had the best test in the same way we talk about our favourite theatre with the best audience,” she added.

Pete the Sheep was adapted

Winners Donna Reid C-Grade, Tuk Williams B-Grade, and Pat Lawson A-Grade

Ayr Junior Golf

Ayr Golf Club

Ladies Golf: Wed Aug 4 Yet another monthly medal event.

Yep, they roll round really quickly, and that means our extremely generous sponsor is DISTINCTIONS HAIR SALON. Thanks to these girls at Distinctions for keeping so many of our lady members neatly groomed. This week saw another of our fantastic new members of 2021, Donna Reid, come away with a win in C-Grade with a fantastic score of 71 nett.

Great job, Donna. Keep it up.

Our B-Grade winner was none other than the pocket rocket Tuk Williams. Tuk is transforming ladies golf, pulling her putter out of the bag 150m out from the pin, and has the prowess to place it within 1 metre of the pin (or so she told me). Anyway, Tuk had a sensational round with a 67 nett, which she insists was just a fluke. Fluke or no fluke Tuk, you might just lose a few shots (chop chop)!!! Fantastic effort, Tuki.

Our A-Grade winner was another one of our ever consistent members; yep, this week it was Patron Pat with a 73 nett. Way to go, Pat. And look at our amazing course in the background. Our volunteers are working tirelessly to get our greens back into tip-top condition. Thanks to all of you who are giving up your valuable time.

Thursday, August 5 A good field of 32 players took to the Ayr Golf Course for the Thursday Club single Stableford event last week.

The day’s big news was a holein-one scored by Robert Webb on the par-three seventeenth hole.

(Photo attached) Graham Hutley (27 points) was a narrow winner from Peter Egan (26 points), and Callan Oar (25 points) was a close third. The Nearest the Pins were won by Ben Smith (8A), John Lewis (8B), Callan Oar (9A), Dave Sexton (9B), Brett White (12A), Corey Schilling (12B), John Reid (18A) and S Henderson (18B).

Owen Baure won the popular DnS Quality Meat tray, and Peter Holmes won the carton.

Brandon Bowls

On Friday night, Jamie Woods and Wayne Coonan were too good when it counted in their defeat of Chris Pearce and Rino Lazzarin.

Chris Griggs, Helen Collins and Joy Woods showed exceptional teamwork in their demolition of the Joes – Ypinazar, Griggs and Delahunty. Doug Kiehne, Ross McLaughlin and Gary Pearce won courtesy of a 5 score on one end, which proved to be the difference in their narrow defeat of Simon Griggs, Margaret McLaughlin and Gee Pearce.

In the socially distanced soiree, that was Sunday Bowls, there were three excellent matches. In the Moderna Medal match, Mick, Millsy, and Jorgy put together a cluster of match winning bowls to overcome the variant cluster put forward by Fergy, Vince and Joe Yip. In the Astra Zeneca Shield the pair of Woods and Rich took what appeared to be a high risk path, with some shots, but proved to be safe and correct in the end.

Their opponents Doug and Len at times had poor traceability, but once the clots cleared mounted a rear guard action that nearly proved fruitful. In the Pfizer Cup, it was a game of two halves. The trio of Trevor, Henry and Leo started out thinking this is easy.

The trio of Pancho, Wayne and Nozzie struggled leaving the kitty socially distanced from their bowls. Pancho questioned “Pfizer you bowl this way” and eventually their teamwork picked up reversing the tables with a sequence of excellent bowls. The other mob‘s accuracy disappeared leaving a socially distanced head for Pancho’s team to take advantage of.

Matches will be on again on

Bowen gymnasts visit Burdekin for Invitational Bruce Macdonald A GROUP of 15 young gymnasts from Bowen travelled to Ayr on Sunday to get tuition from head coach and manager of the Burdekin Gymnastics Academy, Amy Cranitch.

All the visitors were from the lower levels and judged in five categories from satisfactory to excellent.

“It wasn’t a competition against others but rather an individual assessment of their overall skills. And the visit also allowed them to make new friends with gymnasts from here,” she said.

Injuries brought a

premature end to Ms Cranitch’s competitive career, and even though she was lost to the sport while she raised her family, she decided to return to the sport as a coach eight years ago.

“Gymnastics wasn’t very popular in the Burdekin back then, and I only had 20 children to start with, but over the years, that number has risen to 160,” she said.

Trips to Townsville and Ingham have become regular fixtures over the years. A squad of gymnasts travel to Ingham on August 29 and another event in Townsville on November 14.

Surprisingly, 25 boys are

attending her classes doing ninja and freestyle classes.

“Gymnastics is a great way to develop balance and coordination skills and is a great pathway into other sports,” Ms Cranitch said.

She runs classes four days a week for four hours per session.

“I step that up to six to eight hours a session ahead of competitions,” she said.

Ms Cranitch said she loses talented gymnasts when many of them move on to university in Townsville or Brisbane, which makes it tricky getting older students to take up a coaching role.

Footy Tips Round 22 Another solid round with no crowds but 7 out of 8 two weeks in a row is more like where I want to be. All games went pretty much the way the commentators suggested, with the top of the table clubs winning their games. All bar one game you could suggest was an upset with the Warriors rolling the top 8 contenders, Sharks. The big question for the game with Brisbane out of lockdown is whether we will see crowds with masks at all games? Meanwhile, the NRL is still shopping around the grand final to the highest bidders. But they should consider the punters and players’ safety; if so, QLD wins hands down.

STORM V’s Raiders Storm are like the ever-ready bunny; they just keep on keeping

Dragons, who are already in dismal form. An easy outing for the PANTHERS to WIN, demoralising the out of form Dragons missing Hunt.

with

Moon Man on; they just never seem to allow themselves to be chained down.

They continue to fight on, dig deep when things aren’t right and never lose faith. They just continue to believe. While the Raiders have had a year that is best to forget. Barely getting on top of the hapless Dragons after being flogged by Knights. This will and should be a walk in the park for the Storm. I can’t see anything except a WIN to the STORM, and this will be easy; Storm will win this in 2nd gear.

Both teams are coming off the back of losses, with the Broncos being rundown by the Knights.

While the Roosters battled hard against the Panthers, fighting to the bell. The Roosters hold a strong win-loss over the Broncos, flogging them by more than 50 points in the last two games. It is really difficult to think anything will change. ROOSTERS to WIN and win easily. This will be a lesson for the Broncos.

COWBOYS V’s Tigers

MANLY V’s Eels It appears Parra have got on the DeLorean again. It’s another year of top four hopes for 90% of the season. Then they travel back in time to the 1970s where every week was a loss. With Manly in red hot form, or should I say Tom ‘Turbo” Trbojevic, the Eels will struggle again. Having slipped slowly down the ladder to where Parra is holding onto 4th spot by their fingernails. Parra is looking to fall back to 5th spot with a loss, considering the Rooster will have an easy win this week.

It’s hard being an Eels supporter at this time of year. For me, I will be backing the Sea Eagles. I think MANLY to WIN but hoping it should be very close.

After only two wins for the year, it is impossible to pick the Bulldogs who continually change their team looking for that winning combination.

After last week’s better performance, I think the Warriors fall over the line and win, WARRIORS to WIN. But it could be close if the dogs turn up.

Another walk in the park for the Panthers playing the hapless Dragons, who the Raiders flogged. While the mighty Panthers, like Storm, continually outperform all other teams even without their superstar captain Nathan Cleary. This will be another flogging for the

What a cracker this game will be with the Rabbits in devastating form and the Titans putting it all together at the right time of the year. It would be good to see the No1 QLD Team roll the Rabbits, but I don’t think it will happen.

With the Titans on a three gamewinner streak, I believe in the Forward leader Daniel Beazley knows he will be a marked man but has the experience to counter act that.

He said that the halves Joel Mason and Riley Horan had been going well but Lions coach Matty Bowen will have seen that last time and will try and couteract their influence.

The availability of Jerome Lacco from work will mean Jeffrey Searle will probably go to the wing joining the try scorer Jared Thorley.

Declan Dowson will pack in as number one and he is ready to explode after being contained by Brothers. Perry said that he has a good bench of reserves who have done and could easily fit into the run on side.

“They all know they are playing for a semi final spot in the team and will want to put their best foot forward,”the coach said.

That game will be at Brothers ground in Townsville at 2 p m on Sunday afternoon on field one.

The reserves will play their last game of the season as they will not feature in the final series.

Coach Ben Smith has had plenty of bodies to work with but they have not produced what they are capable of.

“Every week we play a good half and then fall off tackles and drop balls,”smith said.

The coah knows he has his mine workers back this week with the likes of Nathan Rickards, Jarod Sexton, Kurt Boxall, Dalton McInierny, Aden Lamptton and Tyrone Sims to add starch to the team.

Isaac McNee, Bryce Caliabano, Jared Giardina, Kade Harchm Flynn OBrien and Lochlan Winston have been tireless workers and dont deserve to go out with a loss.

Western Lions are running near the top of the ladder and will be out to finish off on a winning note.

The game is at Brothers on Sunday at 1 pm on number two field. It will be interesting to see which under 19 team turns up to play the Lions at 11.30 on number three field at Brothers on Sunday.

Coach Will Jack said it depends on how some of his boys come through the Aaron Payne cup matches this week playing for their Schools.

Jack knows his brother Luke and outstanding fullback Cathane Hill will give it all playing for Iggy Park while Dudley Dotoi will do the same for Kirwan High so it

depends on their fitness come Sunday.

Dotoi and Hill did not play when the team went down to Brothers 24 – 16 after being down 18 – 6 at the break.

That day Jack used two under under 17 players in Dom Augostis and Jones Munro and both went hard with Dom scoring a good try.

The Lions are at the bottom of the ladder but they did give the Roosters a shake last time they met coming home the better.

Brodyn Cazzulino, Ethan Roberts, Callum Stevens and Braden Cotter are all capable players and with Jovyn Pitt , Brayden Lampton and the try scoring Noah Keppa could put the win on the board.

The Hens will play their match with the Lions on number two field at Brothers at 2.30 on Sunday.

The draw appears poorly done as the Ladies will be playing at the same time as the A Grade which doesn’t leave much for crowd support.

Hens coach Frank Beer will have to make a reshuffle of his team with both regular centres out in Ashlee Agguire and Jo Morgan.

Ashley hurt her ankle last time they played the Lionesses and she

has not recovered while Jo broke a hand with Brothers and is out for a while.

There is also a possiblity goal kicking forward Jess Clift may also be out due to work.

Beer said he will have Teah Lee Monday back this week and with Martina Monday gradually finding form they could give the undefeated Lionesses a run for it.

Shakira Carr is also back and could stand out in the forwards with Paige Griggs, Kaitlin Daley and Indee Everett.

Akeilah Williams played half against Brothers and she gave good service to her backs.

Akeilah has trouble playing as she coaches the under 15 girls but they play Saturday this week.

Western Lions are full of representative players and are undefeated this season winning some games by big scores.

The Hens are in third place but with things going their way a move to second would be there.

The semi finals start next Sunday with the Roosters in with three teams ... A Grade, Under 19 and Ladies.

At this stage all three will play Centrals.

make the score level at 2-2 at the break. The second half was a tight tussle before Adrian Saunders scored the decisive goal late in the game to see the Panthers win 3-2 and retain the 5th spot on the ladder - only one point outside a finals position.

The Fabbro Diesel Services 2nd division suffered another loss, a narrow 2-1 defeat to Rebels.

The first half was well contested, with both teams having chances after moving the ball around well, but the score remained 0-0 at the break. Burdekin took the lead almost immediately in the second half with a goal from Jack Gimson from near the sideline.

The Panthers looked in control but couldn’t convert further chances in front of the goal. Rebels struck with two late goals to win 2-1 — a disappointing result that sees the team slip to 3rd on the ladder.

The Austral Masonry Funkies were away on Friday night to Estates White. After an even start, Burdekin went behind in the 20th minute and struggled to get in the game. The score remained 1-0 at

the halftime break. Four minutes into the second half Burdekin levelled the score with a Daniel Smith header. Estates scored next with a goal against the run of play, but the Funkies struck back with a goal to Adam Mottin with 25 minutes left.

Although Burdekin dominated the rest of the game, they couldn’t find the winning goal and the game ended at 2-2. This Friday, the Funkies are at home to Brothers.

The Kalamia Hotel Women were up against Olympic and, despite playing well, went down 1-3. Burdekin defended well, only for Olympic to score twice at the end of the first half. Burdekin put pressure on the Townsville team in the second half, and Charlotte Dal Santo scored midway through the half. However, Burdekin couldn’t find another goal, and Olympic sealed the match with another goal late.

The C.A. Contracting Reserves started well against the second-placed Olympic and could have been five goals up by halftime. Bianca Pontarelli scored after four minutes, and Loz Barra

added a second on the half-hour with the Burdekin in control.

Olympic pulled a goal back before halftime and then went berserk in the second half scoring four more goals without reply to win 5-2.

August is a busy month for the Panthers, with Ladies Day this Saturday, August 14 and Sponsors Day the following Saturday, August 21.

In the Juniors, the U14/15 played two matches over the weekend. On Saturday, they beat Saints 7-4 and backing up on Sunday thumped Olympic 9-0 despite being a player short. Blake Walker scored a lot of the goals.

Monday Night Masters re-played the Olympic Final with Brazil beating Spain 6-3. Chris “Pele” Achille scored four goals for Brazil. The Masters will be in action at 3 pm this Saturday as Ladies Day’s ‘entertainment’.

The Olympics is all over with no footballing medals for O.Z. The Olyroos went out at the Quarter Final stage, and the Matildas lost to the USA in the Bronze Medal game.

And in case you think you are underpaid, Lionel Messi, ex-Barcelona star was on $2.4 million per week, every week, for four years.

Oh yes, and the EPL kicks off on Friday night with Arsenal away to Brentford. It doesn’t come any better than this.

Carnes’ Call Carnage Roosters three weeks ago it was a win to the Roosters by 54 – 12.

Perry has told his troops not to expect that score again as the Lions are a proud club and will come out firing even though they are out of the finals.

The coach has brought in Blackhawks development officer Tim Nugent to help with training tonight and his team will have an opposed session with the Under 17 squad followed by a club barbee.

He said that Ashley Agguire put his squad through a fitness session on Tuesday night with all going well.

“The return of the suspended Kali Nauque to the squad will strengthen the forward pack as the former Figian International is a strong runner and a fierce defender,”the coach said.

Perry knows that former captain Ryan Davenport will be back this week after missing the Brothers match with injury.

“Ryan adds a lot to our side with his toughness and he was missed against Brothers,”Perry added.

Burdekin Football Club had another inconsistent weekend, winning two, drawing one and losing three of their matches. On Friday night at International Park, the Premier Women and Reserve Women both played Olympic, losing both games, 1-3 and 2-5, respectively. The Funkies, away to Estates White, drew 2-2. On Saturday, in Townsville against Rebels, both the Premiers and Reserves won 3-2; however, the Second Division lost 1-2.

The Kalamia Hotel Premiers hoped to kick-start a finals push by grabbing all 3 points, which would allow them to move above their opposition into 5th on the Table.

Rebels were unable to capitalise early when Connor Johansen saved a penalty kick in the opening 20 minutes. The Panthers had a few chances in the first half, and at the break, the score was 0-0.

In the second half, Rebels scored

RABBITOHS will WIN and win, but it won’t be easy against Titans, who are in really good form.

Cowboys at home is a completely different fish. All teams come to Townsville and really struggle against a determined Cowboys.

The Cowboys would be tough with a home crowd and a belief in themselves and on the back of a much better form. Sorry, but there isn’t much good to be said about the battling Tigers.

Tigers have shown no form lately and are on the back of a poor performance win against the cellar dwellers Bulldogs. It’s really hard to see them winning this game.

The game became a see-saw affair, and Jay Leckenby chipped the keeper to give Burdekin a 2-1 Lead. However, Rebels equalised from the third spot-kick of the game before substitute Cody Betteridge forced a Rebels defender into conceding an own goal. The game finished 3-2, with the Panthers moving into the 5th spot on the ladder and home to Ingham this Saturday.

I reckon the Warriors should continue the good form they showed last week against the Wooden Spoon bound Bulldogs.

While the Knights, on the other hand, are really running into some classic form. On the back of 3 tremendous performances winning with big scores, it is impossible to put the hardearned on the Sharks.

SHE’S A KNOCKOUT

21-year-old Emma Lawson is one of Ayr’s most successful boxing stars, with multiple world and national titles under her belt

Marina Trajkovich EMMA Lawson remembers when at fourteen years old, she wrote a single goal and message to herself on a small canvas, that she would make it to the Youth Olympics.

Four years later, she was standing at the edge of the Olympic boxing ring in Buenos Aires, Argentina, her father and coach, Alex Lawson watching nervously from the sidelines.

Boxing runs in the family for the Lawson’s, but when Emma began training at 10 years old, she never thought she’d go on to have an

international fighting career.

“I only ever wanted to just have one fight just to say that I’d done it. But I had my first fight at 13 and kept going for another seven years,” Emma said.

“Even though I lost my first few fights, I still just enjoyed the training and the dedication that you need for it and just kept going.”

“I realised how much I enjoyed it, and I’m not someone that will do something just for fun. If I’m going to do it, I’m fully dedicated to it. I just wanted to go all the way.”

Emma was coached by

her father, ex-fighter and PCYC boxing instructor, Alex Lawson, training three times a day for four years.

“This was in between school as well, which was not much school at all. So I would run in in the mornings, strength and conditioning at lunchtime, and then boxing training.

“I didn’t have much social life with it, which didn’t bother me because I was more dedicated to boxing than going places with friends.

“When I was 15, I started going international,” she said.

Making it to the Youth

Olympics, where she placed fourth, is one of her proudest achievements, as is the competition that got her there, beating her ongoing rival at the Oceanic Championships in Samoa.

She says that while she gets nervous before competitions, she stays focused on each competition and the steps required to get there.

“I think you don’t get too caught up in the moment. I don’t anyways. I sort of look at one at a time. You won nationals. Now we look to the next step, which is the world stage.

“The girl I fought in Samoa,

she had beat me previously three times.

“I was so focused because it was the selections for the Youth Olympics, and I came out and beat her. That’s probably my favourite fight.”

“The Youth Olympics are exactly the same as the Olympics that were just on but with younger people.

We’re in the Olympic Village, and I’m still training three times a day.”

Although she’s since hung up her boxing gloves, Emma, who’s a qualified personal trainer, still helps run independent boxing sessions and classes at Ebody Studio in

Ayr, and she’s begun working with her mum at Explore Property.

“I don’t know about my boxing career later on. I might go back, I might not, I don’t know!

“It is something that you have to be focused on and commit to it 100%. There’ll maybe come a time where I decide to go back.”
