Just for laughs A guy goes in for a job interview and sits down with the boss.

The boss asks him, “What do you think is your worst quality?”

The man says “I’m probably too honest.”

The boss says, “That’s not a bad thing, I think being honest is a good quality.”

The man replies, “I don’t care about what you think!”

The Burdekin’s Debutante Balls are making a comeback after a hiatus in 2020, with postponed events scheduled alongside this year’s balls.

Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au

A TRADITION of the Burdekin will return in bumper form this year, with a host of students making their debut.

Debutante Balls have proved a popular opportunity for the Burdekin’s young women to take the next step into society, presented in front of their parents, families and friends.

2021 will see an abundance of debutantes take the stage throughout the year, with six Debutante Balls and two Deb of the Year events to take place.

In line with COVID crowd restrictions in place at the time, the Deb Balls that

were meant to occur in 2020 were postponed, making a comeback this year for the Burdekin’s current year 11 and 12 students.

The first of the events will see the Year 12 students of Burdekin Catholic High School presented on Saturday 27th February.

Organising committee member Nicky Achurra said dance rehearsals had been going well, both the boys and girls picking up their moves, with students anticipating the fast-approaching night.

Student Alysse Contzonis said it has been an exciting time throughout rehearsals.

“It’s pretty exciting, because we didn’t think we’d have a deb. It’s great they’re making it happen for us.”

Having started rehearsals in the holidays last year, the students are now putting the finishing touches on their quicksteps for next weekend.

“I have my dress and everything I need, and it’s coming up so quickly. I’m very excited,” she said.

Naturally, the fun and excitement is felt by the partners too.

“My partner is Luca Brotto, who tries his best at the dances,” Alysse said.

“He’s super keen and it’s been a great rehearsal period.”

The Year 12 de butantes of Bu rdekin Cathol High School ic and their part ners at rehear sal

The Burdekin Singers and Theatre Company will once again host their Debutante Balls, having been putting the event on since 1999.

Although the impacts of restrictions meant last year’s balls were put on hold, the Singers were committed to bringing back the balls for our students.

Organiser Lynne Butterworth said planning is going full speed ahead.

“We began planning our two deb balls in the latter part of last year, and at that time we had to work to a strict COVID-19 plan … fortunately restrictions have eased, and we are now able to have 100% capacity at the Memorial Hall.”

The double up of Balls is no issue for the Singers, their committee running events for some time as “a well-oiled team.”

“We are no strangers to having two balls in one year.

From 2001 to 2005, there was

such a demand from young ladies to make their debut that we had to put on two balls in each of those years.

Two balls this year simply mans a longer planning and delivery cycle,” Mrs Butterworth said.

That the 2020 Deb Balls were pushed back now means those students are now in year 12, set to make their senior year all the more memorable.

“We contacted our 2020 debs and were pleased that of the 18 girls, only one was unable to commit this year. This is an indication of how much the event means to our young ladies,” Mrs Butterworth said.

The St. Colman’s Debutant Ball Committee has also been busy putting their events together, with the first Ball taking place on Saturday 6th March.

burdekinlocal.com.au > contd. Shalon Gibson has said, it is about creating memories for the students.

“This is a huge job for our small committee, however, each debutante deserves her night to be special, so whatever effort is needed is what we do. It is double the workload to do two, but it is also doubly special,” she said.

The fact that so many of the region’s students are making their debuts this year adds to the anticipation.

“Missing out last year because of COVID, the Year 12s are extremely excited to finally be having their night,” she said.

“As you can imagine, they were so close last year when their Ball was cancelled, so they were all very

Our Year 11 cohort is also eager to take the stage.

“The Year 11s are equally excited; it really is a special time for them all. They have a full day of hair and make-up, followed by photoshoots with their partners and families, and then everyone gathers at the hall to watch as they are presented to society in a beautifully choreographed performance that will be filmed for them to watch over and over again,” Mrs Gibson said.

In Brief

Snake Dash

The moment a three metre carpet snake slid across a Giru couple’s windscreen while they were driving on the Bruce Highway has been captured in a now viral video. On the way back from Alligator Creek, the snake clung on for 50km, shocking the terrified passengers before they were able to pull over. The snake was then removed by a traffic controller.

THE program will see students visit the Shed each Wednesday and engage in a hands-on approach to learning about life.

Burdekin School approached the Men’s Shed, with both groups eager to learn from each other.

“We jumped to it, actually,” President of the Burdekin Men’s Shed, Rob Ritchie, said.

“They’re our neighbours, and we’d love to help them out.”

A significant part of the Association’s operation is to

be a part of the community, with the group always looking to give back.

“When we set up the Men’s Shed, we said we’d always give back to the community. We’ve done that for the last seven years through a joint program with the PCYC and Ayr State School, and this program now is an extension of giving back to the community,” Men’s Shed Secretary Charles Ford said.

Over the year, students will learn about gardening and the basics of agriculture, while interacting with other community members and picking up new life skills.

Croc attack likely Two crocodiles have been located and euthanized following the disappearance of 69-yearold fisherman Andrew Heard, whose boat was found abandoned and upturned on Hinchinbrook Island last week. Post necropsy, one of the four-metre crocs was found to contain human remains.

Being there for our community, the Burdekin Men’s Shed Association is proud to begin a new mentoring program with their neighbours at the Burdekin School.

“We’ve got chooks here; so, we’ll go and collect the eggs, feed the chooks, change the water, clean the pens,” Mr Ritchie said.

“And if we get a garden going, their job will be to look after

their garden and water it.”

This new arrangement comes off the back of a successful mentorship with the Burdekin PCYC. “That one was a mentoring

Khub Arrives WITH A LONG LINE OF EAGER SHOPPERS FILLING THE FOOTPATH OF QUEEN STREET, THERE WAS A BUZZ OF EXCITEMENT AS AYR WELCOMED ITS NEW KHUB STORE.

KHub Team members: Jade, Janice, Megan and Belinda

Hayden Menso hayden.menso@burdekinlocal.com.au

OVER the previous fortnight, Ayr’s Target Country store was rebranded, both inside and out, to deliver a new shopping experience right here in the Burdekin.

The grand opening was attended by Kmart executives from across the country, who welcomed the addition to its growing number of Khub stores.

Ayr store staff members were commended for their efforts in the training involved in the transition, and their preparedness and presentation of the new-look store.

At 9am, the ribbon was cut, and the long line of eager shoppers filled the store,

curious to see the new range of products, clothing and homewares on offer.

The Khub store is one of many new small format Kmart stores being opened across the country, with the new Bowen and Charters Towers stores also opened in the past week.

The introduction is in line with the company’s efforts to “bring stores closer to customers,” as one executive said on the morning.

Ayr’s store is staffed by nine existing Target team members, meaning some familiar faces will stand out amongst the new look store, with an additional eight more staff recruited locally to service the store and the community.

The re-opening was an

exciting morning for store staff, including Janice Brown, who has been working at the store for many years.

“We’ve been part of the Ayr community for the past 25 years and we’re so excited to continue our journey with Kmart, one of Australia’s most iconic brands,” Janice said “Our K hub store is stocked full of great value, on-trend products that we know our customers are going to absolutely love! It’s the ‘best of the best’...Kmart’s most popular products across kids, home and clothing.”

The Khub store will also serve as a collection point for online Kmart, Target and Catch orders, three key Kmart Group brands.

22-YEAR-OLD Laura Scuderi has two professions, seemingly in opposition to one another.

By day, the young Ayr resident can be seen at Burdekin Motors where she is a service adviser, overseeing the servicing of cars and

administration.

But afternoons and weekends are dedicated to her true passion and side hustle, developing her business as an independent beautician and makeup artist.

“Basically I’ve had a love for makeup my whole life,” says Laura.

She says her passion for makeup was developed from

a young age, influenced by her two older sisters.

“We do like dressing up and getting made up. I used to practice on myself in high school,” she says.

“My friend one day said to me, ‘why don’t you do it for other people?’ and that’s what happened,” says Laura.

Signing up for a Brisbane based beauty school, she

did her 9-month beautician course online between fulltime work.

“It was very busy because I worked full time and then would go home and study.

Now, it’s very busy with the two jobs.”

Laura is known for her mobile makeup services, going to her clients for treatments or making them up for events.

“I knew that there weren’t many beauticians in the area who would go to people’s houses, especially with kids and stuff it can be very hard to leave the house.

“I think that’s what’s made me popular; I’ll come you.”

She’s recently created her own beauty studio at home.

“My big thing is making people happy; I love talking to people I’m very outgoing. I think that’s what I love doing and I also love the beauty side

“In their home environment, it’s a lot different to what teachers do in their schooling.”

“I love seeing people’s reaction and how it makes them feel; they feel good.”

And she’s in high demand, booked out already for social events like the Burdekin Growers Race Day and high school formals.

She’s getting ready for a busy season, ahead of several debutante balls taking place across the region.

When she’s not making up other people, she’s taking to the stage, recently playing a doll in the Burdekin Singers and Theatre Company’s production of Mary Poppins.

She was also responsible behind the scenes for creating theatre-ready faces, making sure performers looked the part on stage with Nelly Nosworthy.

“I’ve danced my whole life as well, we are quite musical my family,” says Laura.

there are crafty things they need to do, we’ll provide all of the craft supplies as well.

They get a HIPPY box at the start.”

She encourages families to sign up for the program and says that many participants have stayed in touch to offer updates and thanks.

“Building up that confidence in the parents so they can be an advocate for their children is one of our main aims,” says Rebecca.

“We tap into what parents already have and help them see that themselves.”

Local VMR calls for rescue stories Marina Trakjovich DAVID Papale, the president of the Burdekin’s Volunteer Marine Rescue, has been involved with the organisation since he was a little boy, inspired by his father, who was also an active member.

Now, the cane farmer has been involved with the group for 29 years, watching the VMR grow and partake in countless rescues within the community.

As the organisation nears its 50th anniversary on the 26th March, the group is collating a book of the VMR’s history, full of memories and stories from volunteers and rescuees helped at sea.

“It’s a key part of our history; it’s a great milestone to stop and reflect and enjoy the good that’s happened.

It’s good to reflect and realise where we come from,” says David.

Starting as a volunteerrun organisation from Alva Beach in 1971 by a group of passionate boaties, the organisation has become a big part of the community and David’s life.

He encourages anyone with a story to tell, to reach out to him or other VMR committee members for a chance to

contribute to the book, which will be available for purchase from the organisation.

“The picture book will capture a fair few significant memories from people that might not be active volunteers now, but who have played an important part in the community,” says David.

“It’s going to trigger fond memories I suppose with people who’ve been involved with VMR,” he says.

He says that anyone can get involved and submit a story or message to thank the group, with proceeds from the book going to the organisation.

“To the public, not even necessarily with the rescues, maybe it’s seeing us down the street or at festivals, seeing us at a boat ramp. Come forward with your good stories, and they may end up in the book,” says David.

The anniversary will be celebrated on the 26th March with a dinner at the Bridge Restaurant at the Burdekin Motor Inn in Home Hill, with tickets to the occasion on sale soon.

To celebrate their 50 years, Burdekin Volunteer Marine Rescue are compiling a picture book of memeories.

PROMISES WASHED AWAY BY PRICE HIKES Hayden Menso WATERED down the drain is how election promises from Queensland’s Labor Government have been described by our local member.

Member for Burdekin, Dale

Last, was joined by Shadow Minister for Water, Deb Frecklington, and Shadow Minister for the Environment, Sam O’Connor, who met with local grower groups and water supplier representatives earlier this week, discussing the effects broken promises

would have.

“During the election campaign, Labor promised a 15% reduction in water pricing for agriculture and a 50% reduction for horticulture,” Mr Last said.

It has become apparent the government was playing

politics and potentially creating grief for our farmers.

“Now the government is ‘tinkering at the edges’ with changes to definitions and some primary producers may actually face a price increase.”

“Our primary producers are the backbone of many regional communities, particularly the Burdekin and Bowen region, and to try and pull the wool over their eyes is an absolute disgrace.”

Although increases recommended by the

Queensland Competition Authority were put on hold as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr Last, Ms Frecklington and Mr O’Connor heard firsthand from farmers about the impact these price increases will have.

“In some places the price increase that will come is more than 40%,” Mr Last said.

“That doesn’t just affect the producers, it trickles down into the communities that rely on industries like cane

and horticulture.”

Mr Last, also the Shadow Minster for Rural and Regional Affairs, said price hikes for farmers will need to be dealt with by producers in one of two ways.

“Producers can either pass on the cost to consumers, or they have to cut down on what they spend. Either way, the effect is felt throughout the community, because families will pay more for food, or we see jobs in the community vanish.”

Where are they now?

Beth Honeycombe Marina Trajkovich

Beth Honeycombe has been an integral part of the Burdekin community for many years, gracing the stage, the classroom and the council chambers.

As a member of one of the first pioneering families in the Burdekin, connection to the land runs in Beth Honeycombe’s blood.

The 80-year old’s father first came to Home Hill in 1911 as a young boy of thirteen, the cane farming family one of the first to settle in the area.

Although she’s recognised as matriarch of the successful Honeycombes Sales and Service, the iconic family farm machinery business managed by her husband John Honeycombe and founded by his grandmother, Esther Honeycombe in 1913; Beth is perhaps most familiar with the spotlights of the stage.

Off-stage she was a teacher, a patroness of the arts and one of the first female councillors in the Burdekin, advocating for change that improved the lives of farmers all over Queensland.

We speak to Beth Honeycombe about life after the Burdekin.

Your family has been quite influential as part of the town’s history can you tell me a bit about growing up here?

I spent 22 years downriver in Home Hill, with a farm as my home.

Beth playing Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s Importance of Being Earnest with TheatreiNQ in 2013

One of my favourites would have to be Lady Bracknell in the Importance of Being Earnest with TheatreiNQ. That role is in demand by both women and men.

chairmen in Queensland, and the men were hesitant to speak out.

I spoke to the minister, Terry Mackenroth, and asked, “Would you consider using the term mayor for all council leaders?” He did, and from 1994, they all became mayors.

My father’s family was the third to arrive in Home Hill and carved the family out of the bush back in 1911. They lived in a tent for six months while they established the farm.

Our communities are exciting and nurturing of the performing arts, and it’s a privilege to be a part of it.

Each of the early families contributed strongly to the development of Home Hill. My father was 27 years on council and 18 years as chairman, so I grew up with a great love of the Burdekin district.

Giving back to the community was a part of my DNA.

You were also a member of Council for a number of years- What are some things you are proud to have achieved during that time?

How did you discover your theatrical side as a young person?

The most interesting part about being on the council was meeting people and listening to their needs and getting those needs met.

It’s looking back now that I do realise it was unusual for a woman to go into that position. There was the odd comment that the job wasn’t suitable for a woman, but it was 1979 North Queensland. I learnt to speak up but also avoid confrontation.

As secretary of the Cultural Executive, we worked for ten years to see the fruition of the Theatre, the upgraded Memorial Hall and the library.

You left the Burdekin eight years ago, what have you been up to since then?

Some of the people who really inspired me were the people who taught me. One of those would be Lorraine Tatton, my dancing teacher who taught me at the age of four. She encouraged me, and that’s where my love of theatre began.

I remember that when I was at boarding school, the conductor dragged me out of the choir one day and said ‘you’re a singer.’

After boarding school, you returned to the Burdekin to take on various teaching positions- namely Home Hill State School and then Ayr High and Intermediate school. But you were also highly regarded in the community as a performer- can you take me through some of your key roles?

I’ve played 52 principal roles. Some of my roles [With the Burdekin Singers and Theatre Company] were in Les Miserables; Once Upon a Mattress; Pirates of Penzance; Wizard of Oz. It was our directors, like Grahame Johnston, Pat Nuttall, Terri Brabon & Bill Munro who are highly skilled and motivated, and their dedication that made a difference.

I was the first woman to represent the town of Ayr on the council, then as Chairman(Mayor) and then a four-year term on the Queensland Local Government Grants Commission.

As chairman of the State Local Govt and the Arts committee, our charge was to develop the Regional Arts Development Fund and persuade councils to partly fund it.

That was a real challenge because the local government had no responsibility for the arts until that time. Regional communities currently still benefit from this local and state government funding.

You also made some serious progress changing the term ‘chairman,’ to refer to council members?

In the early nineties, federal legislation demanded that there be gender equity language. ‘Chairman,’ must be changed to ‘chairperson,’ we were told. There were only three or four women

What was it like being the first woman on the council at that time?

At the time, I didn’t think too much about being a woman on council.

About thirteen years ago John and I sold our businesses. Later we moved to Townsville.

I’m on the Executive of the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland.

I do Pilates and hydrotherapy, play mahjong weekly, sing, and I am writing a book of stories for our family, including our ten grandchildren.

A 23-year-old Mackay man was issued a Notice to Appear for wilful damage and is due to appear in Ayr Magistrates Court on 22 March.

At time on date, Police from the Ayr Road Policing Unit intercepted a vehicle on International Road, Ayr. The driver, a 35-year-old Burdekin woman, was issued a Notice to Appear on two counts of possessing a dangerous drug and one count each of possessing drug utensils, driving an unregistered vehicle and driving an

uninsured vehicle. She is due to appear in Ayr Magistrates Court on 8 March.

At 1.05pm on Thursday 21 January, Police from the Ayr Road Policing Unit intercepted a vehicle on Bruce Highway, Barratta.

The driver, 27-year-old male tourist, was issued a Notice to Appear for unlicenced driving and is due to appear in Ayr Magistrates Court on 22 February.

Charlie’s Hill was established in 1943 as a radar scanning base.

Hayden Menso JUST 8km south of Home Hill sits a place steeped in Burdekin wartime history.

Charlie’s Hill, which sits adjacent to Inkerman Hill, was once the location of two radar towers used for surveillance during World War Two. On Tuesday February 23rd, Charlie’s Hill Radar Station will mark twenty years as a state heritage site, being entered on that date in 2001.

With the declaration of war on Japan on December 9th, 1941, military sites were quickly established to increase defence capability, becoming even more critical following the bombings of Darwin and Townsville in 1942.

Built by the Royal Australian Air Force in 1943, the Charlie’s Hill Radio Direction and Ranging (RADAR) Station was one of twenty stations built

along the North Queensland coast to give early warning of approaching enemy aircraft to other stations in neighbouring areas.

The site is unique, one of only two of the “200 Series”, a fixed ground’ high flying’ radar station; with the other located at Bones Knob, Tolga.

Atop of the Hill sat two 186foot wooden towers, standing approximately 100 metres apart, which supported transmitting and receiving aerials.

Scanning equipment was housed in two aboveground igloos, constructed of reinforced concrete, with the eastern igloo housing receiving equipment and the western holding transmitting equipment.

The station ceased its operations on October 1st, 1945, with the towers and equipment dismantled and removed.

Before leaving the area, the officers and operators

of the unit, in return for the hospitality of the Home Hill residents, hosted a tennis afternoon, dinner, and dance in the town.

Today, the site presents locals and tourists alike with an experience to soak up the atmosphere of the once-busy place at the height of the war.

Both concrete igloos still stand, as do the two towers’ bases and several small tunnels, watchpoints, and machine gun stands.

Concrete slabs still lay in the ground, one inscribed reading “Max **einke, Sydney, 25 June,1943,” with Max’s surname partially unreadable due to cracked cement.

If visiting the site on Charlie’s Hill Road, just off the Bruce Highway before Mt. Inkerman, you can even walk into the igloos and peer out over the landscape through viewing ports, as if reliving scenes of planes overhead, should invasion have occurred.

Beware of Covid Vaccine Scams

Bruce Highway, Barratta. The driver, 36-year-old Brisbane man, was issued a Notice to Appear for unlicenced driving and is due to appear in Ayr Magistrates Court on 22 March.

AS the anticipated rollout of the coronavirus vaccine hits headlines in Australia, security experts warn to look out for vaccine-related cyber scams.

Security awareness advocate Jacqueline Jayne, from KnowBe4, warns Australians to be aware of scams that have already appeared in the United Kingdom.

“Whenever there is a newsworthy incident or event, criminals are quick to jump on the bandwagon with phishing scams and attacks to try and obtain personal details, compromise organisations, or steal money,” says Jacqueline Jayne.

“With Australia on high alert for news about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout starting next week, it’s only a

matter of time until the bad guys try to take advantage of this news by crafting new attacks.”

She says that cybercriminals have been creating fake vaccine registration pages in efforts to steal a target’s personal information.

“Australians should be particularly suspicious of any vaccine-themed emails or text messages, especially those containing attachments or instructing them to click on a link, as these messages could very well be part of a social engineering attack,” says Jayne.

“When in doubt, people should contact their doctor or healthcare provider through tried and trusted channels and not give any information to unknown websites, text messages, or phone calls.”

Environmental sustainability in the classroom

Osborne State School students made their own beeswax wraps as par tof their Science unit

Hayden Menso EVERYONE knows learning about science is fun and interesting, especially our youngsters taking it to a new level in the classroom.

The senior students at Osborne State School have recently been learning all about changes of state in their Chemistry Science curriculum, also incorporating the importance of sustainability and recycling.

Year three to six students

investigated how various liquids can become solids, a prime example being beeswax wraps.

School Principal Hayley Laidlow said beeswax’s change of state involved in the activity was a prime example.

“Making beeswax wraps and, how they change state, was represented nicely by the process,” Ms Laidlow said.

In short, to make a beeswax wrap, beeswax pellets are laid on fabric and then heated, when they will melt and can

be spread over the material to create a reusable, sustainable food wrapping product; the wrap can be rinsed with cold water and soap, then reused.

Students investigated how plastics are made and how products can be more environmentally sustainable.

“We looked at plastic wrap, and the students decided that was not a sustainable option, whereas using beeswax wraps were much more sustainable and environmentallyfriendly.”

Ms Laidlow said the next

Students watching the change of state

step in the learning process would see the students make an educational ‘how-to’ video, demonstrating how to make a beeswax wrap and use it in place of traditional plastic wrapping.

“They loved it, and it was great to teach the kids about sustainability and how they can reduce their environmental footprint,” Ms Laidlow said.

“It was great as a hands-on

experience, but then they all used their wraps in their lunchboxes the next day instead of plastic, which was great to see.”

LOCAL STUDENTS SPREAD THE LOVE

Hayden Menso

GETTING into the spirit in time for Valentine’s Day, love was in the air on Friday.

Burdekin Catholic High School students participated in a free dress day, raising money for the Laurie’s Love Foundation by wearing pink,

red, or the famous Laurie’s Love shirts.

All week, senior students sold roses, flowers, and chocolates, which were delivered to students’ home rooms on Friday morning.

A dedicated group then donned their cupid wings and best singing voices to hit the

schoolyard at lunchtimes and perform serenades, which had also been purchased, to various students and staff.

The school raised over $300 for Laurie’s Love, showing that there is always some fun to be had while working for a good cause.

IT has never been a bitter time to commence or return to university study, with applications open for a range of low-cost, highquality undergraduate and postgraduate short courses at CQUniversity.

As part of a new Job Ready Graduates package, students can elect to study either an undergraduate or postgraduate certificate which can help them gain new skills for employment or enhance their existing knowledge and expertise.

Students studying one of the postgraduate offerings will make significant savings on tuition fees for courses in high priority areas, including allied health, creative and

performing arts, education, engineering and IT, nursing and health, and science.

CQUniversity’s VicePresident, Academic, Professor Helen Huntly says that the Job Ready Graduates package is a one-off funding agreement between CQUniversity and the Australian Government to encourage more students to enrol in courses in disciplines considered national priority areas.

“As part of the agreement, students can save significant amounts on course fees, whilst completing a recognised qualification in as little as six months.

“The funding agreement has made additional Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) available in 2021

for a range of undergraduate and postgraduate short courses, meaning students can defer fees whilst saving on the cost of tuition for eligible courses.

“Tuition fees vary by course, but postgraduate students could save more than 60 per cent.”

Applications for study in Term 1, 2021 are open.

Students eligible for a CSP in an eligible course are required to complete all four units of study in 2021 to pay reduced student contribution fees.

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH FEATURE:

How we’re healing little hearts Marina Trajkovich GRACE Antoniazzi is more familiar with hospital wards than most little girls.

At just ten years old, the brave Jarvisfield resident has been through four openheart surgeries, the family moving regularly between the Burdekin and Brisbane for the life-saving procedures.

“We didn’t know until she was born, she was blue, her oxygen levels were quite low,” says Grace’s mother, Lyndell Antoniazzi.

“We really thought that we were going to lose her,” she says.

The pair sit at their kitchen table at the family home before Grace goes to school.

From appearances, the young girl in the love heart spotted dress is perfectly healthy, but she’s faced struggles in her life most will never have to deal with.

Lyndell and Grace Antoniazzi share their story for Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Monthi

Grace was diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with VSD and MAPCAS at birth, a condition characterised by the underdevelopment of a babies heart and arteries, preventing oxygen and blood flow between the heart and lungs.

One in a hundred babies in Australia will be born with a similar heart defect.

Lyndell describes the feelings of suffocating stress as after giving birth, the family flew straight to Brisbane for Grace’s first round of operations, open heart surgery followed by a month in hospital.

Grace’s second open heart surgery was at eighteen months old, with a third and fourth at ages seven and eight, visiting Brisbane for several checkups a year.

“We practically lived at the hospital for a while,” says Lyndell.

“She got an infection during her last round of open-heart surgery, we had to go to the hospital every day for three months for antibiotics.”

“It was very tense. She was on the table for eleven hours,” she says.

“From there it was just constant checkups specialists, paediatricians,” she says.

“If she gets even a scratch in her mouth, we have to put her straight on antibiotics because it can get infected and enter the bloodstream.”

Lyndell describes the artificial conduit implanted in Grace’s chest, made up of tubes to replace the missing arteries between her heart and lungs.

It will need replacing as Grace grows up but for now, a weight has been temporarily lifted off the mother of three’s shoulders.

Grace shows her stitches from her open heart surgery

“We really thought that we were going to lose her.”Lyndell Antonazzi.

Despite the stresses the family has been through, she portrays an air of calm positivity as she hugs her young daughter.

“To see other kids doing things that she couldn’t do, it was a bit devastating,” she says.

“There were things physically that she wasn’t able to do because of the lack of oxygen but now she can do a lot more. She enjoys her Perform Music and her swimming.

“Everything she does feels like a miracle. She might have just swum a lap of the pool,

and it’s like ‘wow she can do it.’ It might have taken ten years, but we do see it,” she says.

In 2014, Lyndell and her sister Shannon Cronin started the Burdekin branch of North Queensland Hope for Hearts, a not for profit organisation honouring Grace and the seven other ‘heart kids,’ in the Burdekin struggling with a congenital heart defect.

The pair organised several fundraisers, notably the 2015 Townsville Gala Ball that raised over $30,000 for children’s heart disease research.

“There are so many families in the Burdekin who go through this struggle every day. I don’t think people realise. It’s the medication, it’s the constant checkups.

There’s always something,” says Lyndell.

“It’s to raise awareness that so many babies are born with congenital heart disease. It’s in the community but people might not recognise it.”

Prolonged and regular sitting can cause significant weakening to leg and glute muscles, leading to a greater risk of overall injury in daily life.

It also puts pressure on our spinal disks and neck particularly if you sit with bad posture at your desk, the effects of which may become worse over time.

Researchers have also linked sedentary lifestyles to a highly increased risk for type 2 diabetes, with a lack of exercise contributing to insulin resistance.

Another study found that men who watch more than

Marina Trajkovich A GROWING body of research is raising the alarm on the ills of a modern lifestyle that’s all too familiar for some of us: that of the office potato.

Although sitting may seem a harmless activity, health professionals are warning that spending eight hours a day glued to your desk are posing significant risks to our physical health and well being.

Long periods of sedentary sitting have been reported to impact everything from our backs, to our weakening muscles, bad posture, back problems, weight gain

How to combat the health impacts of sitting in an office all day. Hint: it’s time to get moving!

23 hours of television a week have a 64 per cent higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than men who watch half that amount.

So if spending the majority of your time at a desk is unavoidable, here are some tips to manage the health impacts of office induced inactivity.

HOW TO COMBAT THE EFFECTS OF SITTING Studies have suggested that for those of us with largely stationary jobs, merely getting your regular exercise in might not be enough, the solution, incorporating more easy movement into your day.

INTEGRATE MORE WALKING INTO YOUR DAY If possible, walk to work or park your car further away than necessary to get those legs moving. Take the stairs instead of standing in an elevator.

This also applies to office hours. While seated at your

desk, try to take the time every half hour to get off your chair, even if it’s just walking to the water cooler or getting up to stretch your legs.

Schedule lunch breaks away from your desk that involve going for a short walk.

your elbows out and hands behind your head.

And don’t forget your wrists, rolling them around or gently pressing back on your hands to relieve some of that keyboard tension.

HAVE A STRETCH

GET ENOUGH EXERCISE OUTSIDE OF WORK

If you’re not quite ready to embrace the trend of planking at work, which became popular a few years ago, there are other ways to ease some tension and integrate movement into your day.

Take the time to stretch out your neck every now and again tilting it gently to the side and down to relieve tension.

With feet planted on the floor, a simple twist on both sides can gently work your abdominals and stretch out your back.

Roll out your shoulders to increase mobility in your upper body or stretch out your shoulders and spine by cat-cowing your back, with

For those of us who sit all day, the recommended 150 - 300 minutes of moderate activity minimum, a week recommended by the Australian Department of Health may not be enough.

Moderate activity could include things like going for a brisk walk, playing tennis with friends or going for a swim.

Setting aside 45 minutes most days to engage in moderate to harder exercises, going for a jog or taking a class at the gym will offset the effects of sitting while boosting feelings of wellbeing and increasing productivity when you’re back at your desk.

Even stopping to do some

house cleaning between television commercials will integrate incidental exercise into your day and reduce the impacts of being sedentary.

Consider a standing desk Adjustable sit-stand desks have become increasingly popular to combat the effects of sitting, lowering blood sugar levels, reducing back pain and even boosting energy levels at work.

A study by CDC a body that studies the prevention of chronic diseases showed that workers who used standing desks had halved their reported levels of lower back and neck pain in just four weeks.

THE BOTTOM LINE Get off your bottom as much as you can and incorporate more incidental and intentional exercise into your routine in order to compat the health impacts of prolonged sitting.

A RECENT study, published in the journal General Psychiatry has shown that for the over 60s population, taking an afternoon nap can significantly improve cognitive abilities.

The observational study found that the nappers scored “significantly higher” on the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE), a standardised dementia screening test that includes assessments of visuospatial skills, attention span, problem-solving,

working memory, locational awareness, and verbal fluency.

A nap was defined as anywhere between 5 minutes to two hours of sleeping time in the afternoon after lunchtime.

Katherine Hall, a sleep psychologist at Somnus, an online sleep therapy program, says that an ideal and healthy nap should be taken between 1 pm and 3 pm and last between 10 and 30 minutes, to recharge without the feeling of groginess upon waking.

Marina Trajkovich FOR the adventurous traveller, the Undara Volcanic National Park and lava tubes are a sight to behold.

Considered some of the largest and longest lava tubes in the world, the geological wonder formed as a result of a volcano predicted to have erupted 190,000 years ago.

As the molten lava flowed down a rocky river bed, the top layer cooled and crusted while the below lava continued to flow, forming the tubes.

As the eruption subsided, the lava drained out of the tunnels to create what is now an incredible site for visitors to explore.

‘Undara,’ is an indigenous word meaning ‘long way,’ the tunnel system truly complex and spectacular with surrounding rainforest and walking tracks.

A stay and tour of the Undara Volcanic Tubes are a truly unique and family-friendly Queensland adventure to enjoy.

Laze by the pool or visit the bar after a long day exploring the beautiful region.

Practically perfect!

Performance photos courtesy of Stephanie Ryder Right: Kim Nuttall in her role as Mary Poppins Photo by Hayden Menso

Hayden Menso AN ANNUAL tradition across the Shire is the Burdekin Singers and Theatre Company’s musical production, having over the years become synonymous with the beginning of the new year.

It was a long journey to take us to No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane, but amid restrictions on performers and crowds, the company pulled through successfully to bring Mary Poppins to the stage.

With countless hours of singing practice, dance

rehearsals, learning lines, sewing costumes, painting sets, and blocking the action, the Burdekin Singers should well and truly be proud of their efforts.

By the time I watched the show last Friday, 12th February, the production had already played out a weekend of shows.

There were only positive reviews about the town, and having watched several Singers shows in the past, I did not doubt that Mary Poppins would be any different to their usual high calibre.

Right from the beginning, I felt instantly transported to 1910 London.

The musical numbers were perhaps the show’s standout; to just have so many people onstage at once, stepping in time, always amazes me.

To put 30+ people onstage and create such a quick level of movement is intricate enough, let alone adding in music, singing, dialogue, and the period costuming worn by all of the cast.

With one of the lead cast members being only eleven and some of the chorus even younger, the standard is

absolutely impressive.

Then there was the acting.

Kim Nuttall’s portrayal of Mary was one to be commended.

The voice, the movement, and the persona were all embodied to bring us a faithful recreation of the classic character so many people have come to love.

When I first spoke to Kim during early rehearsals, she did have some reservations about playing such an iconic role; however, those reservations certainly did not show if they were still there during performance week.

I couldn’t think of a more perfect - practically perfect person to take on the role.

It must be said that the entire cast, no matter what part they played, put in 110%, bringing electric energy and performing with a smile.

Having been in similar productions myself in the past, I know full well what goes into bringing a show like this to life.

Honourable mentions include some of the lead cast for their efforts in welcoming Mary to the Burdekin.

Mitchell Pearce’s whimsical portrayal of Bert the Chimneysweep was a treat, upkeeping the cockney character while blowing us all away with his tap dancing and acrobatics skills.

Ayden Barnett’s realisation of Michael Banks was unexpected, in light of him being only 11 years old.

His physicality was perfect for the role and made it genuinely believable that he was a young boy from vintage London.

Mia Galbraith as Jane Banks was also a noteworthy part, her character authentic in each word she spoke and step she took. The performance from the two youngsters, being such a large portion of the narrative, was spot-on.

Stephanie Webber and David Lequerica as the humorous housekeeping duo of Mrs Brill and Robertson Ay added a lightness to some otherwise serious scenes; and Ashley Wood and Laura Bromham’s realisation of the parents presented us a reasonably authentic, oldfashioned family.

The entrance of Pat Nuttall, the master mistress behind so many Singers’ productions, as the bird woman was worthy of the audience’s silence.

Although she sang only a few lines, one could have heard a pin drop in the auditorium;

an extra-special part of the production we were all treated to.

No exception to the skyhigh standard of the Burdekin Singers, the production of Mary Poppins once again enthralled the audience on every step of the journey.

Whether it was walking in the park with Mary and Bert, visiting the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious lolly shop, or flying high above the chimney-topped skyline, the show will undoubtedly be one that the Burdekin community will remember for years to come.

by Distinctions. Winners were Wendy Baker 74 nett for A Grade, Mavis Zanetti 83 nett for B Grade and Thelma Farrell 78 nett for C Grade. Saturday 13/2 was Brennan’s Pennants sponsored by Chris Doblo from Irrigation Efficiency Solutions.

The Men’s Winners were Trevor Cornford 41 points on a countback from John Lewis and Michael Casey with 38 points. The Ladies winners were Joy Cornford 39 points, Kerry Mann 37 and Tina Watts 36. A fantastic show of support with 87 players. Adam Eathorne won Sunday’s Club Medley with 40 points, and Rhonda O’Brien had 35.

Ayr Ladies Bowls

The ladies managed to squeeze in twelve ends of bowling despite the weather on Tuesday.

The winners were Jill Beresford, Linda Giumelli, and Irene Wilson, who defeated Donna Soper, Di Lindridge, and Isabel Cislowski.

In the other match, Merle Nixon, Jill Edwards, and Joy Comollatti defeated Rayleen Hervey, Beryl Cornford, and Mary Poli.

The afternoon was sponsored

by The Mahjong Group; thanks go to them for continually supporting us. We were all happy to at least get in some bowling even though we went home slightly damp.

Nominations for the Rinks and Singles will stay open for an extra week and will now close on 23rd February.

Fourteen bowlers enjoyed

Wednesday night bowls for our mixed social night. The winners were Joe Gabby and Doug Kieney, who defeated Margaret McLaughlin and Heather Jorgensen.

The loser’s prize went to Carolyn Jones and Robyn McAllister, who lost to Dave Burt and Di Lindridge.

In the other game Evelyn Wiltshire, Allan Jones, and Sam Caltabiano. It was a beautiful, fun-filled evening.

The draw for the Ayr Anzac Memorial Club Handicap Singles is now set, and all players that

thursday 18 february 2021 nominated should please check it out on the notice board in the member’s bar to see who you are playing.

Please organise your game with them as soon as you can, as there are three rounds of matches to be completed to reach the finals on 14th March.

Good luck to all.

A reminder again about the Annual General Meeting for the association being held on Wednesday 3rd March at 7.30 pm at the Anzac Club.

Can all team captains please start contacting their players to ascertain at the AGM how many teams the competition will have for 2021?

The competition would kick off on approximately 18th March.

Can captains also ask their players if they are prepared to play on Wednesday nights instead of Thursdays if there is a change?

Brandon Bowls

On Friday night, the trio of Jo Griggs, Bob Jorgensen, and Joe Ypinazar was just too consistent for the flashy but erratic mob of Margaret and Ross McLaughlin, and Simon Griggs.

Merv Wilshere, Wayne Coonan, and Ray Paneccasio put up a determined effort, but in the end, they were no match for the skill and touch of Elle Morrie, Doug Kiehne, and Steve Nellestein.

In the A Singles Championship, Peter Henderson had a lucky win over Ross McLaughlin.

Peter Jorgensen hung onto his early lead to defeat Chris Pearce, and Joe Ypinazar defeated Doug Kiehne.

In the B singles, Damian Morello had a good win over Nev Dickinson, and Con Sexton defeated Jamie Woods in an epic match.

On Sunday, 18 valiant players turned up to make the afternoon special.

The trio of Joe Ypinazar, Chris Griggs, and Henry Hazel put in enough to think the chocolates were theirs, only for Simon Griggs, Doug Kiehne, and Gary Nosworthy to put in a fighting finish to end with a draw.

Alan Garioch, Wayne Coonan, and Laurelle Masters had the romantic notion that it would be an even game; however, Peter Henderson, Vince Beitia, and Greg Masters put paid to that with an aggressive victory.

In the other game Rino Lazzarin, Hans Baas, and Ray Paneccasio were defeated by Merv Wilshere, Doug Robins, and Leo Kenny.

Friday night is the first sponsor night for 2021. Peto’s Marine is the sponsor and going on previous years; it will be a cracker. Call Rob to get your teams in or turn up on the night, and we will find a team for you. Names in by 6:30 pm for a 7:00 pm start.

Matches will be on again on Sunday with names in by 1:00 pm for a 1:30 pm start.

Home Hill Junior Cricket

The rain stayed away again for us this week, allowing some Friday afternoon cricket at the Nutrien Ag Solutions Cricket Grounds in Home Hill.

Rowdy King scored 17 off as many balls, and Charlie Stanton-Cook was next best on 10. Jonas Musumeci, who only started playing this week, got off to a great start getting three wickets for 12 runs. Thomas Cardillo was very economical with figures of 1/0.

The other game was a bit

one-sided, with only one wicket taken in the 1st innings but eight droppings in the 2nd.

Salvatore Cardillo was on the winning side and scored 32 not out; his batting partner Adam Camer got 26, also unbeaten.

Adam also bowled well with 2/4, and Travis Wilkins was on the wickets with 2/9.

It is not too late in the season to start playing, as we had a few more new players join this week. For new players registering, it could cost as little as a one-off payment of $5.00 for insurance, then $10.00 each time you play. The club has all the equipment available to use, so it is unnecessary to buy anything to start with. Come down on Friday afternoons after 4 pm and ask at the canteen, we can let you know the options available for children from 5 years old upwards.

Unfortunately, all Townsville junior games were called off on Saturday because of the rain during the week.

We now look forward to this Saturday, where both our teams have home games in the morning before the Senior games, then the “Bash 4 Brain Cancer” in the afternoon.

It will be a big day for our club with five cricket games starting from 7.30 in the morning.

Home Hill Bowls

Thursday could not have been a nicer day to play bowls.

A game of pairs was played, with Bob Ford and Shane Fagg on 28 defeating Dino Poli and Sue Anderson on 12.

Football Matters Cyclops JUNIORS BEGIN FRIDAY

Burdekin Football Juniors kick off this Friday, 19th February, with pre-season games for three weeks at International Park. The Under 5-7s start at 6.00 pm and the Under 8-11s at 7.15 pm. The Under 11-14s will also be playing on Friday nights. Teams competing in the North Queensland (Townsville) competitions will be playing their first matches on week ending 28 March.

DAMPENED MATCHES Walking Football had to be called off on Monday due to the wet weather and that was a shame as it was the last week of the first part of the season. Masters Soccer takes over the Monday night slot for the next few months, until the crushing begins, after which Walking Football will resume.

“The Burdekin loves their football; and not to take anything away from any code, but at the moment we’re riding a bit of a high, and this helped the start of our 2021.”

Brombal said we can expect a big year ahead for the Burdekin Roosters, after a year of mixed results in 2020.

“We’re hoping for a massive year this year. We were riding a wave of success in 2020; it had petered out a little bit, but with the help from the coaching staff, the Burdekin Roosters, and my volunteers, I think we’re going to make this year our year again.

“It’s there for the taking for us,” he said.

This year’s season will see the return of the senior competition, with junior play already underway.

“Senior comp’s back in, and juniors are going strong.

There’s a lot happening, and this event has kicked me along too. I can see a lot of good things happening this year.”

Afterwards, locals flocked to Don West Toyota for the highly-anticipated signing session and meet and greet.

At the moment, the Burdekin Panthers club is not sure how many teams will be nominated for the 2021 season. Last year there were six Panther teams, and it would be good to have them all playing again this year. It seems likely that the new season will now start on 10th April.

Having the event played out at Rugby Park originated from the Cowboys, keen to take to the regions before the season begins.

“It actually came up through an idea from them. I got a phone call from Darren West, who told me it was happening, and asked if we would be interested; I said whatever we have to do, we will do.”

The morning saw the grandstands filled with fans revelling in the chance to see the action unfold.

“I didn’t expect the turnout that we had; it was not about trying to make money, but it’s just about showing that these boys are just up the road from us, and they are our team. It’s quite important, to be able to see them; they are human, not just these big boys on TV all the time.”

Hayden Menso A TREAT for the Burdekin’s Rugby League fanatics on Saturday saw Rugby Park filled for the first time in recent months.

The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys took on the Townsville & Districts Mendi Blackhawks in an opposed training session on Saturday morning, as part of vital preseason training.

An air of excitement filled the grounds, as spectators relished the opportunity to see two of Rugby League’s best teams on our own turf.

The event attracted hundreds of fans from across North Queensland, with some even travelling from Townsville and Airlie Beach to get in on the action.

The training session put each team through individual

Roosters Host Touch Carnival The Burdekin Roosters will host a Touch Rugby League Carnival on Saturday 6th March. With three divisions of play – men’s, women’s, and old boys – the day will surely be one of footy action.

There is a maximum of ten

drills, before the Cowboys and Blackhawks went head-tohead in the opposed session in the February heat.

Cowboys Winger, Valentine Holmes, said the session was something the team had been looking to do for some time.

“We play for the whole North Queensland area, and we always like to come and spread the love to every little town outside of Townsville.”

“To play here and see the local crowd come and cheer us on, it’s pretty cool to see,” Holmes said.

The session put both teams through pre-season vital drills.

“We did game opposed stuff, full contact. And 20 minutes of continuous footy, seeing who can hang on and hold the ball. It’s coming close to game time, and the first 20 minutes is always going to be crucial for the start of the game and

The opportunity to train against the Blackhawks was also a well-received.

“Getting the team against us is always good to play against different faces all the time.

They run differently, play differently, and it helps us get better,” Holmes said.

“It’s good for both teams and good for the community.”

Cowboys Head Coach, Todd Payten, said the team had been looking forward to the training trip.

“We were very fortunate that we’ve got the Blackhawks over our back fence. We floated the idea about coming down here, and they were more than willing,” he said.

“Ayr and the Burdekin are part of our heartland, and I guess it’s a little bit of a reward

Payten said selecting the final team to compete in Round 1 is well underway.

“Today was a bit of a chance for them to put their best foot forward for the Round 1 team.

We’ve got another trial against the Broncos in two weeks’ time, and they’ll split their time again.

“I must say that everyone’s competing well across the board, there’s some healthy competition that’s made our training enjoyable,” he said.

President of the local Burdekin Roosters Rugby League Club, Michael Brombal, said it was a treat to have the teams play at Rugby Park “I think it’s just what we needed; a little bit of
