Editor’s Note
Hi Everyone,
Standing with my feet in the sand as the lively waves rushed past and our children squealed with delight, I caught myself smiling.
Not just smiling, but grinning - wide and big – and I didn’t even realise I was doing it!
That’s what holidays are about.
From boogie boarding the surf of Wategos and Mooloolaba to feeding the birds and marvelling at the glowworms at O’Reilly’s rainforest retreat to a relaxing time with family on Bribie Island - our holiday was both diverse and nourishing to the soul.
The last two weeks of my life has been time to relax, time for family, time to have fun, time to reconnect with the carefree Rach who is taking a breath away from the weekly rush of the newspaper deadlines.
Every day it was blissful to wake up without an alarm, wonder from activity to activity without once checking my watch and even indulge in the occasional afternoon nap.
I am sure many of you have enjoyed some time off over the last few months – some of
you may even be retired (you lucky things!) – and I hope you can relate to the pleasure of this freedom from commitments.
Life, however, would soon get boring without a purpose and a passion, and for that reason I am always happy to return to work (even with a head cold!)
Thank you to the team who all contributed in keeping the papers humming along nicely, they did an excellent job of course! A special thanks to Ruth Puddefoot for leading the editorial in Whitsunday Life, her passion and dedication is so noticeable in everything she does.
Now that I am back at work, I feel like 2025 has kick-started in my life and I am looking forward to a great year ahead.
A wise man once said that all you need to do is be 1% better than yesterday and I totally agree – over time that 1% soon adds up!
Rach

CARING COMMUNITY RESCUES REMY
Remy, an abused bull terrier rescued from death row at the local pound found himself in the caring hands of the folks at the Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc. Sore, broken and neglected, his pain was evident to the volunteers who took him in.
Remy was diagnosed with an eye infection, a severe skin infection covering his body and luxating patella, meaning he could barely walk and was in terrible pain. He needed surgery but the procedure was too expensive for the volunteer organisation to afford alone, and so they reached out to the local community seeking aid.
All the loving hearts of the Whitsundays came together and transcended expectations for this darling doggy. In just two days, an enormous amount of money was raised and the surgery goal was met and then almost doubled! Raising close to $5000, Remy can now get the treatments and surgery he needs. What a shining and supportive community, helping those neglected to begin to live again. Remy is now in a wonderful foster home and starting to trust humans again. He is wagging his tail,
playing games with other dogs and is learning commands and communication through hand signals. Always ready for a snuggle, he is becoming more confident by the day, thank you to everyone who has donated. If you would like to provide support, the Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc. has a mycause page, or you can donate directly to their chosen bank account. Check out their Facebook page for more information and adopt or support a dog today.

COMMUNITY CELEBRATES CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
Matt Stokes was awarded the 2025 Citizen of the Year at the Australia Day Award Ceremony. A prominent figure in the Whitsundays, Matt was honoured for his steadfast dedication to creating a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those around him.
As President of the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN), Matt has organised an accolade of fundraisers and events, including the impactful “Legends Night,” which raised over $20,000 for vital community programs.
Matt, said he was extremely surprised to have received the award:
“For me winning that award, I honestly didn’t think I was going to get it!” he shared.
“I know so many people in this town who are absolute war horses of volunteering, and they’ve done 20 years of just grunt work in our town, and I think they’re more deserving than me.
Despite his initial shock, Matt expressed pride and mentioned that the experience had inspired him. He also shared his intention to leverage his new title to maximize support for WSPN.
“I absolutely love the Whitsunday community!” he expressed.
“Being president of WSPN has just restored my faith in humanity so much because when we’re doing fundraising or an event, our community is so generous and kind.”
Matt has always believed in participating
in volunteer work within communities.
“It just was such meaningful work, and I could see the results and the benefit, and I just truly believed in it, so it wasn’t a chore,” Matt explained.
Matt’s passion for community well-being was also recognised in the award, having mentored young people, supported local outreach initiatives and participated in programs that foster connection and resilience.
one going through a hard time is, “Don’t bottle it up.”
BOWEN MAN CHARGED OVER FATAL BRUCE HIGHWAY CRASH
After four months of investigations, QPS Forensic Crash Unit has charged a 61-year-old Bowen man with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death whilst adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and did drive UIL.
The fatal Myrtlevale incident under investigation occurred at approximately 5pm on the 15th of September 2024 and tragically resulted in the death of 22-yearold Wangige Kiumbura from Burdell.
“Mentoring is, a big one, it’s a very different world to how I was brought up and grew up,” he explained.
“That’s the space that I like to work with, when working with young people, so if they’ve got a gap there, I aim to help fill it, giving advice and just general life wisdom.”
Matt explained how it’s hard to pinpoint the main drivers of mental health issues in the Whitsundays, with mental health being on such a broad spectrum. His advice for any-
“The worst thing you can do is shut down and say nothing, your mind will make a small thing into a big thing, so talking with a friend or a relative will put perspective back on the situation.”
To continue to help support the WSPN and community, follow their socials to keep track of events and how to help them, including their next 2025 Legends Night which will be held on 20th June 2025.
Congratulations to our new Citizen of the Year Matt Stokes!
Emergency services were called to a two-vehicle crash involving a Holden utility and a BMW sedan on the Bruce Highway and upon arrival, the BMW was fully engulfed in flames with the driver, Ms Kiumbura, declared deceased a short time later. The driver of the utility, a 61-year-old Bowen man was airlifted to Mackay Base Hospital in a critical condition. He is due to appear in the Proserpine Magistrates Court on Monday the 24th of February.
Matt Stokes, President of WSPN and now Citizen of the Year.
Warm Welcome To New Citizens
WCA RECORDS SKY HIGH NUMBERS
December was a landmark month for Whitsunday Coast Airport, as passenger numbers surged to new heights. Whitsunday Regional Council is excited to announce that December 22nd set a new daily passenger record, with 2,524 travellers passing through the airport’s terminal. This impressive achievement highlights the region’s growing appeal as a top holiday destination.
The Christmas period brought a wave of visitors, many arriving for festive getaways or long-awaited family reunions in the stunning Whitsundays. From families reuniting on the beach to holidaymakers exploring the region’s breathtaking natural beauty, the airport buzzed with excitement as passengers arrived to enjoy all that the Whitsundays has to offer.
Looking ahead, the council is optimistic about continuing this growth in 2025. With January already shaping up to be another busy month, there’s a strong possibility the airport could break the 50,000-passenger mark for the first time. This would be a major milestone for the airport and a testament to the increasing popularity of the Whitsundays as a sought-after tourist destination.
The council extended its gratitude to all travellers for choosing the Whitsundays and to the dedicated team at Whitsunday Coast Airport for their hard work during the busy period. The record-breaking numbers reflect the growing demand for the region and the airport’s ability to meet it, ensuring a bright future for tourism in the area.
The latest Citizenship Ceremony took place at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre last Sunday, where Mayor Ry Collins had the honor of conferring Australian citizenship to 44 new citizens.
These new Australians come from a wide range of countries, each bringing their own unique stories and backgrounds to the celebration.
Becoming an Australian citizen is a deeply personal decision, one that is met with warmth and pride across the nation. Citizenship represents a commitment to Aus-
tralia’s values, freedoms, responsibilities, and protections. It signifies dedication to the democratic process, respect for the rights and liberties of others, and a shared responsibility to uphold Australian laws.
The Whitsunday Region is a shining example of Australia’s multicultural society. Our diversity is not only reflected in the visitors who come to explore our beautiful corner of the world, but also in the many immigrants who have chosen to call this place home.
Mayor Ry Collins shared his excitement for the new citizens, say-
ing:
“Today is a day to celebrate our community, our culture, our pride, and just how lucky we are to be Australian.
“It was heartening to see the joy and excitement at the ceremony, with so many friends, family, and loved ones coming together to mark this special occasion.
“Well done to all!”
Welcome and congratulations to all the new Australian citizens.

There is more to sandbags than meets the eye!
Not all properties will benefit from sandbagging, in fact sometimes it can do more harm than good! Make sure you are aware of the flow of water around your property during high rainfall events before deciding whether sandbags will be useful to you.
Sandbags are only effective when used correctly. They should only ever be filled two-thirds full and be folder over, rather than tied at the top. Lay them like brickwork, staggering the rows so that’s the joins do not line up.
Sandbags will not fully protect your home, but they can help to reduce water infiltration and damage. In the event of disaster and flooding, please only take what you require to ensure there are enough sandbags for those with the greatest need.

This month the Chamber meet Jannah Baker and Jason Weir from Scallywag Fabrication, an aluminium manufacturing business producing a range of adventure, tradie, and lifestyle products tailored for regional Queensland. They specialise in aluminium-based trays, canopies, and 4x4 accessories designed to withstand the demands of the Australian outdoors.
Jason grew up in Bowen, often working on utes and boats to make them more functional for fishing, camping, and off-roading adventures. His partner, Mackay-born Jannah, shares the same passion for the outdoors and brings extensive business and innovation experience to their business.
Scallywag Fabrication launched in 2020, from tinkering that started on a small balcony in inner-city Brisbane and has grown into a fully operational manufacturing facility in Conway, the Whitsundays.
The manufacturing industry has always seen strong competition from overseas markets due to lower costs. However, COVID-19 has shifted consumer preferences towards Australian-made, locally sourced, high-quality products. In addition, they are seeing a push towards integrating advanced machinery and technology in smaller fabrication workshops requiring new skill and trade qualifications.
Scallywag Fabrication is excited to be part of these industry changes, proudly championing Australian-made products and supporting local talent.
They have embraced cutting-edge technology with tools like the Multicam CNC machine, allowing them to manufacture products with unparalleled precision and efficiency. Jason and Jannah are also exploring future technologies, including AI integration, robotic equipment, and the development of an Advanced Machinery Boilermaker qualification to equip the
next generation of local tradespeople.
Scallywag Fabrication would also like to acknowledge the incredible support they’ve received from the local community. Implementing new technology and scaling a business in regional Queensland is no small feat, and they couldn’t have achieved what they have without the encouragement and shared expertise from their regional network.
They have recently been recognised by the Greater Whitsunday Alliance as a Change Champion for the region, highlighting their commitment to innovation and driving support the Whitsundays and beyond.
Jason and Jannah top tips for other business owners are:
• Fail forward: Every ‘failure’ is an opportunity to learn and grow. Embrace the setbacks, because persistence often turns them into success. Don’t give up!
• Support your local network: There’s no room for rivalry among small businesses in regional areas. By uplifting each other, we can all succeed together. We’re proud North Queenslanders and actively support North Queensland businesses.
• Invest in future skills: Stay up to date with the latest technology and automate repetitive tasks so you can focus on what truly matters. Embracing innovation today will pay off tomorrow.
The Chamber has given Scallywag Fabrication a supportive community where they can share challenges, gain insights, and know there’s always help available. Being part of this network makes it easier to follow their own advice on learning, supporting others, and growing as a business. Jannah is also a member of the Chamber Board.

cident involving a stolen vehicle has left both the Whitsundays and Burdekin communities on high alert following an almost 24-hour ordeal.
A white Hyundai hatchback was reported stolen from an address close to Home Hill State School the morning of Monday the 20th of January. Locals took to online platforms to demand harsher consequences for offenders with many members of the community saddened to learn the car belonged to a Home Hill grandmother.
Reports have emerged of witnesses sighting the stolen vehicle driving recklessly at around 11pm on Monday night around Soldiers and Horseshoe Bay Road in Bowen, with locals warning their neighbours to take precaution and sharing CCTV footage online.
“Warning Bowen residents – there is a stolen car from Ayr making its way around Bowen, a white hatchback, lock your cars and doors, police have been notified,” shared one concerned Bowen resident.
The five offenders aged 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18, then drove the stolen car back along the Bruce Highway and home to the Burdekin before crashing into an Alva Beach electricity pole at around 5:30am.
“The group of five allegedly left the scene on foot and attempted to evade police but were arrested a short time later at a local caravan park,” a QPS spokeswoman said.
A 13-year-old Home Hill girl, a 14-year-old Home Hill boy, a 15-year-old Home Hill girl, and a 17-year-old Home Hill girl were all charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle – use in company and appeared in the Ayr Children’s Court on Wednesday the 29th of January.
The fifth offender, an 18-year-old Home Hill man has been charged with one count each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle – use in company, possessing dangerous drugs, possessing utensils or pipes that had been used and breach of bail offences. He is due to appear in the Ayr Magistrates Court on Monday the 10th of February.
The car was left extremely damaged after the ordeal
World’s Best Beach At Your Doorstep
The Whitsundays have long been celebrated for their stunning landscapes, particularly their pristine beaches. It’s no surprise, then, that Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island has recently been named the best beach in the world for 2025 by Lonely Planet, beating out a host of international contenders.
With its iconic white silica sands stretching over 7km, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and breathtaking panoramic views, Whitehaven continues to captivate visitors from around the globe. This recognition marks yet another accolade for the beach, underscoring its unparalleled beauty.
Whitehaven Beach is not just stunning— it’s a paradise for all kinds of activities! Whether you want to swim, relax in the sun, hike, camp, snap photos, try out water
sports, or spot wildlife, there’s something for everyone. It’s a picture-perfect destination for a beach day and offers breathtaking views at every turn.
Local Mayor Ry Collins took to Facebook to express his pride, calling the award a testament to just how extraordinary Whitehaven is.
He further congratulated everyone who contributed to supporting the recognition: “Well done to those that contribute to supporting this recognition including our tourism operators and body, national parks officers and the broader community.”
Whitehaven Beach, overtook, beaches like squeaky beach in Victoria and Anse Sourse d’Argent, La Digue in the Seychelles.
Mangos And ‘Big Things’ Featured On New Souvenirs
With the number of people calling in at the Big Mango increasing each year, so is the range of merchandise available at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre right next door.
The team at Bowen Tourism and Business welcomed more than 52,000 people last year and they are always keen to meet the needs of all those travellers. Manager Leanne Abernethy said the merchandise range had been expanded again to include a new range of polo shirts and fishing shirts as well as new aprons and tea towels.
“We talk to a lot of travellers every week of the year and we take notice of any suggestions they have – verbally, via customer surveys and the online reviews,” Leanne said.
“When it was time to place the latest order, we decided it was time to change the design and the colour. The new shirts have already proved very popular.”
The team also introduced a new range of aprons and tea-towels recently because they listened to the caravanners who wanted to replace these types of items with
Change Fatigue
Burnout used to be the workplace experience we all tried to manage and avoid. In 2025, it’s Change Fatigue. Change fatigue is feeling exhausted or overwhelmed in response to organisational changes. Covid-19 was when we first started noticing this phenomenon as businesses pivoted left and right to keep up with ever-changing government policies, protocols and requirements.
Today we are being bombarded with constantly shifting workplace flexibility & hybrid work policies, AI technology, keeping ahead of competitors, 4 different generations co-working for first time in history, as well as living in the ‘woke’ generation and trying desperately to stay relevant in an ever-changing landscape.
If you haven’t been paying attention and wondering why your team seems so unmotivated at the moment, here’s some suggestions on how to manage change fatigue:
• Take a beat – acknowledge the change and the angst it may cause
• Celebrate the changes the team has navigated so far
• Discuss why the change is needed –provide purpose
• Understand – uncertainty is anxiety-inducing so be compassionate and patient
• Plan – create a plan on how to implement and manage the change
• Communicate – at the heart of every workplace stress is usually subpar commu-
a memento from somewhere they have been. The Centre also now offers products from the “Big Things of Oz” range, including magnets, stubby holders, stickers, jigsaw puzzles, postcards and tea-towels. These fun memorabilia all include a map of Australia showing where all the “Big Things” are located.
The Bowen Visitor Information Centre is right next to the iconic Big Mango, on the Bruce Highway just 5km south of Bowen. Local residents are encouraged to call in to see what is on offer, and of course enjoy a delicious mango sorbet or ice cream.
Hi Everyone, Oh no! You found me again!
The last time I appeared in these papers; I was sure I had found a fantastic spot to hide. Much to my dismay, I was seen the morning after the papers went out! And not just by the current winner Hendrix Murphy, but by FIVE other people!
I’ve decided this time round I need to be more creative, and sneak around the pages finding a REALLY good spot.
Join the race to find me, and if you find me first you win a feature in the paper!
When you find me (which I am sure you won’t this time!), snap a picture of yourself next to my cartoon self in the paper and send it to ruby@lifepublishinggroup.com.
Good luck.
Woof!

If you’ve recognised that someone in your team is experiencing change fatigue:
1. Schedule a 1:1.
2. Acknowledge the journey they’ve been on.
3. Discuss how they may have benefitted from these changes (growth mindset vs fixed mindset)
4. Celebrate their growth
5. Discuss how to improve the planning & communication on future changes
The only constant is change; how are you helping your team manage constant change?

The story of Betty Hazel Watts and a life committed to excellence in learning began with her birth in Proserpine on July 21 1928. After attending primary school at Proserpine State School, she completed her secondary education at Blackheath College, Charters Towers. For eight years, commencing in 1946, aged only 17, Betty began teaching in primary schools in Brisbane and in various country centres including Proserpine. During this time, she completed Bachelor Degrees in Arts and Education through external study while teaching fulltime. She also gained letters in LTCL with honours in Art of Speech.
Between 1954 and 1974, Betty held many prominent positions in the field of education. She was appointed Senior Research Assistant at University of Queensland (1954 – 1956); Lecturer in Education (1957 -1965); Senior Lecturer in Education (1966-1971); Reader at Schonell Educational Research Centre (1972 -1974) and from 1974-1981 she was Professor and Director of the Centre.
It is not surprising, then, that in 1976 she

was awarded the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.) for service to education.
Betty Watts was a Foundation Member of the Queensland Board of Teacher Education (now College of Teacher Registration). Serving from 1977-1988, she was one of the longest serving members having held the position for all but two years of its existence; including three terms serving as Chairman.
Further acknowledgement of her ongoing contribution was recognised in 1982, when Betty was awarded the Mackie Medal for distinguished work in the field of education.
dren with disabilities. These reports were based on primary research which involved interviews and discussions with parents in their own homes where they could relax and voice their true concerns. She would say, “School practices need to take account of what children’s homes and parents are really like.”
From 1976 – 1981, Betty chaired the Ministerial Advisory Council on Special Education and was a member of the National Inquiry into Teacher Education (The Auchmuty Report) from 1979 - 1982.
morial award - The Professor Betty Watts Award for Outstanding Contributions to Teaching – was made in her name.
Betty Watts helped so many people, particularly from vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. For her, education was for everyone. In the tribute to her at this award, Betty Watts was described as a “brilliant teacher” who had high expectations of her students and whose lessons sparked a “sense of excitement”.

High-Energy AC/DC Tribute Show Of Unmatched Power, And Non-Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll Action
Dirty Deeds is back in Airlie Beach bringing the real Australian pub sound with their smashing tribute to AC/DC with the Bon Scott vs Brian Johnson show. Dirty Deeds have been kicking the can for AC/DC for over 20 years and are a force to be reckoned with LIVE on the big stage. No other show comes close to the pure power, energy and dedication of these High Voltage Rockers! Dirty Deeds are the real thing.
For two stand-alone shows Dirty Deeds are bringing AC/DC’s signature sound of loud, pounding riffs and grooving back-beats to The Pub at Airlie Beach Hotel. Buckle in for three and a half hours of rib-crushing, blood-curdling, brain damaging, no bullshit, thunder rock. Dirty Deeds are brining you iconic music straight to your table, they’re not shy about getting on top of the bar and rocking in your face. They know the pub crowds demand blood and they’re here to deliver with a sound
that’s loud and crisp. Never down-tuned, Dirty Deeds brings the guitars, the drums and the legendary vocals that rocketed AC/DC into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. You won’t find any backing tracks here, just “a really good band,” with years and years of ROCK experience.
This show is different as it gives two brilliant front men and one of the best lead guitarists ever to strut the stage besides Angus Young himself. There’s NO BULL when Dirty Deeds are showing off so you better be onboard for electric hard rock that defined an era. Both Brian Johnson and Bon Scott are going head-to-head with no restraint as Dirty Deeds brings both singers’ eras to life.
“It’s amazing because it’s a new crowd every time ... we’ve certainly packed the place out where it’s standing room only and that’s been fantastic.”
Forget wigs and toy cannons, it’s a crowd-pleasing tribute show that brings
the authentic AD/DC experience. So, gather your mates and sit back with a cold one, or bring your girls and rock on that dance floor, everyone from your nan to your nephew will be screaming along. With platinum hits like ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ and ‘Back in Black’ and of course who could leave out ‘Highway to Hell’ and ‘Thunderstruck’.
All those hit rock songs and more at The Pub with Dirty Deeds, who have said they will be bringing MAXIMUM AC/DC. Saturday or Sunday it’s a show not to be missed, starting at 2pm and keeping you hooked till 5:30pm. Book your table now at: thepubairliebeach.com.au as this show is a next level crowd pleaser.

DAM BOWEN, IS YOUR WATER OK?
On the night of the 22nd of January, a power outage occurred causing a disruption to the water levels in the Bowen Reservoir. The Whitsunday Regional Council has put out a social media post alerting residents of the issue, along with providing reassurance of the safety of the water coming out of their taps.
Power outages can cause the water supply systems to stop operating and breakdown. The water pumps can shut down and water distribution systems can go offline if they do not a receive constant electrical supply. Also, a dam or reservoir can lose pressure because of an outage because of lowered water levels, hence why one of the procedures being conducted was refilling the reservoir.
The disruption has caused changes to the water supply such as discolouration and fluctuations in water pressure. This was to affect the residents in Bowen and the surrounding areas over the coming hours as the Bowen Reservoir underwent critical maintenance and refilling procedures.
The Council wished everyone to know that the water, though slightly discoloured, was still safe for consumption and general use. They apologised for any inconvenience the power outage and reservoir disruption had caused, while they undertook the critical works to bring the reservoir back to full function.

Beware: The $30 Senior Scam
Seniors of Queensland are being targeted with a new scam that’s exploiting them for $30, for a free Senior’s Card. Senior’s Cards are always free of charge and applicants are never requested to disclose their bank, credit card or PayPal details in exchange for membership.
The website to watch out for is called The Seniors Assistant: https://www.theseniorsassistant.com/ claiming to specialise in assistance for several senior–related applications including but not limited to, Senior’s Cards. The website has been tricking a growing number of older Queenslanders into paying for a card that the government gives out for free.
If you have made a payment to this illegal website, contact your bank immediately and make a report to Scamwatch, the Australian Government’s National Anti-Scam Centre. If you have fallen for this scam and disclosed your personal contact details or banking details, be aware of secondary scamming: you may be contacted by someone impersonating your bank. Be alert and hang up if you receive a call like that, and visit your local bank’s branch directly to confirm the call’s issue was legiti-
mate.
If you would like to apply for a real and free Senior’s Card, there’s only one true website you should visit, and that’s the official Queensland Seniors Card website: www. qld.gov.au/seniorscard. Applicants should look for the official Queensland Government Seniors Card logo and know that an official Seniors Card will have your name, issue date and registration number on them, the fake ones do not have these but otherwise look near identical.
Again, if you have provided payment to an unofficial website, please contact your bank immediately.
For any other queries, contact the Queensland Government on 13 QGOV (13 74 68), remember the QLD Government are the only ones who can issue legitimate Seniors Cards, and they are FREE.
accepted and the winning entry will be announced at the Queensland Philanthropy Week Launch at Parliament House in Brisbane on Monday the 2nd of June 2025.
It’s time to pick up your camera or smart phone and capture an act of giving, kindness, doing good or to highlight a specific cause or issue affecting Queenslanders.
Queensland Gives Chief Executive Officer Tara Castle said the Photo Challenge had produced hundreds of stunning and heartwarming images which captured the good work of Queenslanders over its history.
“Our state is home to thousands of unsung heroes who generously give their time and love to help others, and we are looking for images that capture that spirit of care and compassion.”
To enter, simply submit a photograph to the Queensland Gives website www. queenslandgives.org.au/photochallenge make sure it matches the photo requirements first. The competition closes on the 28th of February at Midnight so get out there and get snapping!

Storms & Heat No Match For The Cannon’s Spirit!
The Cannonvale Cannons hosted their highly anticipated Short Course Transition Meet over the weekend, attracting 195 swimmers from 18 clubs across North Queensland. The event showcased exceptional talent and sportsmanship, despite challenging weather conditions.
Day 1 tested swimmers and spectators alike with intense heat and humidity and day 2 brought storms that delayed proceedings and ultimately forced an early finish due to a second round of severe weather. Despite these obstacles, the spirit of competition remained high, with 58 Cannonvale Cannons athletes delivering outstanding performances across the twoday carnival.
Congratulations to the Cannons swimmers who secured state qualifying times for the upcoming Sprint Championships in Brisbane. Time trials were held on the morning of day 2 of competition for swimmers wanting one last effort to achieve times, with both Millie Groom and Matilda Nicholes giving exceptional performances to earn their final times. A special shoutout goes to Tyler Bennett, Ella Bounden, Zane Clayworth, Declan Dichiera, Ruby Harland, Billie Jamieson, Gracie Lagu-
na, Pippa Laguna, Isabella Pisaniello, and Zachary Trefz for achieving personal bests in every one of their individual events. A highlight of the meet was the electrifying SKINS events, where the top six qualifiers battle it out for cash prizes instead of medals in elimination-style races. Congratulations to the following Cannons who qualified for their SKINS events: Lucas Korosec, Miller Eaves, Zane Clayworth, Billie Jamieson, Eloise Chegwidden, Don Algie, Isaac Pisaniello, Jax Clayworth, Declan Dichiera, Nelson Malady, Ruby Harland, Andie Reynolds, Isabella Pisaniello, Tora Delac, Charlie Doherty, Jacob Bell, Zachary Trefz, Ella Bounden, Tyler Bennett, Asher Springbett, Levi Smith, and Maeve Dichiera.

The Cannons wish him the very best of luck and thank him for the boundless energy he brought to training, club nights, and regional and state events. Good luck, Donnie!

SINK, STING, OR SWIM, VMR IS READY TO RESCUE
The good volunteers at the Whitsunday VMR service have had a busy few days. From stingers to sinking boats, they were on the case in the worst of the weather, teaming up with paramedics to ensure the safety of everyone they rescued.
It’s stinger season, and no one should be swimming in the Whitsunday area without a suit. A yachting group paid heed to this and wore them while swimming off the back of their boat but afterwards took them off for a leisurely stroll down the beach. To cool off they romped in the ankle-deep water and the result? One badly stung chest and more than two hours of absolute agony! Fortunately, the VMR team had paramedics on board who were able to administer morphine and the man survived.
Another rescue that happened close to shore was when the VMR team were called to assist a sinking plate boat and its occupants who were stranded on the beach. While the rescue situation appeared simple at first, the boat surprised everyone when it upended and sank to the bottom. Scratching their heads about that, the team headed off to perform another rescue on the other side of Whitsunday Island. It was tough going as everyone was soaked due a
storm creating rough seas and heavy rain. But thunder and lightning did not stop this rescue mission, and after five hours on the water the dedicated crew returned to home base, having rescued all the people and recovered and towed the two boats back to safety.
The skipper that day was Ken Bryce. He is a master 4, with a lot of around the world sailing experience. He brings an enormous depth of skill to our rescues and quite frankly there is no one else you would want to be relying on more in a marine emergency. Of course, he never works alone, and leads a dedicated team, helping people stay out of trouble in the water. These include those working behind the scenes like radio-operator and fundraisers, without whose efforts VMR could not be put to sea. It’s tough finding volunteers, so if you would like to join the team, please go to the VMR Whitsunday website and sign up. Visit https://vmrwhitsundays. com.au/volunteer/ to learn more and start your marine rescue journey.

The week started on Tuesday morning with a successful meeting that set the tone for the days ahead, with 18 bowlers participating and the team of John Trembath, with Dawn Dowell at second and Greg Fennell at lead the big winners of the day.
Wednesday at 2pm start of Jackpot Bowls run by Rick Galea and had 14 players. The big winners of the day were skipper Ted Cullen who is in the middle of a purple patch with his bowls accuracy teaming up with Regina Aquilina at lead with an outstanding performance, however the jackpot was not won.
Saturday morning’s scroungers saw first round winners Tony Whitehorn, Warren Mills and Mervyn Stewart play the final and it was Tony Whitehorn the A division winner of the day with B division winner going to John Askew.
Sunday morning Australia Day saw 46 people arrive with 13 people just for breakfast and the rest for bowls. Although the heavy rain finished the game early the second prize went to the team of Joan McGrath, Mervyn Stewart and Sue Walker. Whilst the winners of the day winning pies and lamingtons were Andy McDougalls team of Arthur McManus and Dawn Dowell. The club must thank Margo Stanley, Carol Crosbie, Lyn Graham, Rhonda Lloyd and Elaine Kippen for the outstanding preparations. The celebrations included some memorable highlights, such as the BBQ and lawn games, which were a hit
among members and their families. Everyone’s participation and enthusiasm made the event truly special.
Finally, the club would like to acknowledge the outstanding contribution of turning this club into a successful organisation from Armando ‘Manny’ and Jayne Isgro who arrived in Airlie in 2010 and both joined the club in 2012. Manny and Jayne realised our club needed direction they both became joint club managers providing the structure for the club to become viable and strong in our district. Manny’s name has been on the honour board at least 50 times and responsible for making ABBC district club of the year in 2017 and 2022. He was Mens bowler of the year 2020 district and zone champion 2022/2023 and it’s Manny’s legacy for us to get stronger every season.
