Hi Everyone,

I had an interesting experi ence this week when I tried to put a poster up at my son’s school.

It was for a Prep Year Hallow een Fancy Dress Party that I am organising where every one brings a plate of food and a bag of lollies to share with friends.

The whole community are in vited and I was hoping to put four posters up outside the prep classrooms to make it easy to let all the parents know it was happening.

To my surprise, when I asked permission to put them up, I was told by the school that the theme of the party might ‘of fend’ some people.

For a moment I was speech less – how could a kid’s party be offensive?

But when it was explained fur ther, I was made aware that no ‘private’ parties can be pro moted at the school and that they have to be very careful with promoting all holidays whether that be Christmas or Halloween.

I notice Easter was ok though. Now to be clear, I am not up set with the school for the decision, I completely respect their right to make up their rules.

Editor’s Note

PICK IT UP WITH REEFCLEAN

It just made me realise that broader society seems to be becoming so sensitive to all subjects especially those that are not intended to cause of fence.

I respect everyone’s rights to live their life in the way that they choose, and I hope to live in a society that does the same.

We are a multi-cultural nation that is richer for its diversity, and I believe that we could all benefit from opening our arms to some innocence, es pecially when the intention is only that of inclusion.

On a brighter note, if your kid would like to come to the par ty – here is the invite

Last weekend 13 people split into five groups and managed to collect 1,530 items, a total of 42.2 kilograms of litter, filling 15 bags in a col lection area from Cannonvale Beach to Airlie Lagoon.

An initiative of the Tangaroa Blue Foundation, several lit ter picking groups have been tackling areas on a broader scale across the full length of the Great Barrier Reef as part of the ReefClean GBR project throughout the month of Oc tober.

The small contingent of Airlie Beach residents did their part on the weekend in an effort to not only collect litter but, also create data that will then help instigate better community practices on a local level.

Organiser Heidi Tait said that small groups are brilliant at maintaining and monitoring their “small patch” to make a big difference.

“Our motto is that if all you do is clean-up, that’s all you’re ever going to do,” she said.

“By ongoing collection you get some great data and every

region is different, so what solutions work here and what works up the coast are entirely different.”

In the Greater Airlie Beach area cigarette butts have been flagged as a major source of litter with 321 collected by the team last weekend alone.

Heidi has been collaborating with ‘Ditch the Flick’ for some time and works with local busi nesses to encourage better dis posal options.

These include placing cigarette shaped bins that are bright ly coloured at strategic points where cigarette littering is pre dominant.

By working in collaboration with other organisations and local business they can cure the problem rather than prevent the impacts.

If you would like to volun teer your time to collect and monitor litter on your ‘patch’, then head to tangaroablue.org where you will find a range of resources including a specially designed data collection app to record your findings.

Devastated Mum Visits Site Of Son’s Death

Thegrief-stricken mother of 24-yearold Luke Gilbert, who was fatally shot by police on the main street of Airlie Beach late last month, paid a visit to the site of her son’s death leaving behind a card which read ‘this is where they took

you, but this isn’t where you stay’ on the back.

She also placed a toy four-wheel drive ve hicle symbolising his love of camping and adventures, alongside a miniature skate board to represent his passion for skating when he was younger.

Arriving from the UK where she resides in the city of Manchester, Nicola and her husband Darren Gilbert, say that they hope police realise that their lives also ended that night.

The couple are staying in Townsville but came down to Airlie Beach on Monday when the body of their son

was released.

They will now take him back to Man durah in Western Australia where he had been living prior to moving to Queensland a few months ago.

Nicola said that her son was loved by ev eryone who knew him and that he lit up the room because he was such a genuinely nice guy.

Furious with what she views as ‘excessive force’ by the police, Nicola says she hopes the officers feel guilty about what they have done.

“I hope my son is the last thing you think about before you go to sleep,” she said.

“I hope you realise you were the bigger threat that night spraying bullets into the ‘safe’ precinct endangering others.

“I hope you wish you had used one of the three other options you had, I hope you never get to use your firearm ever again and I hope more that you don’t want to.”

Luke was fatally shot by police just after midnight on October 1 when he allegedly threatened officers with a pen knife which had a blade that is believed to be between 4-5cm long.

Up to five shots were allegedly fired that

night, two hitting parked cars on the street and one fatally hitting Luke.

Police performed CPR on him for some time but unfortunately Luke was pro nounced dead at the scene.

An outpouring of grief came from friends and family, with many in the communi ty wondering how the incident provoked such a strong response from police.

Two officers were present at the time of the incident, one who is believed to have 13 years’ experience in the police force and the other with three years.

Investigations are continuing into the shooting with evidence being drawn from the body cameras worn by officers and CCTV footage of the scene at the time of the incident.

Camm Speaks Out About New Fire Station

Nominees For Division Two Seat Step Forward

cil,” he said.

Our

local member for Whitsun day, Amanda Camm MP, is speaking up on behalf of con cerned local residents who are unhap py about the location of the new Airlie Beach Fire Station.

The brand-new $7 million replacement fire and rescue station has been earmarked for a residential area on the cor ner of Shute Harbour Road and Macar thur Drive in Cannonvale.

Ms Camm says that, while she is pleased to see that Queensland Fire and Emer gency Services (QFES) have recognised a need for adequate emergency services to support the growing Cannonvale community, she does share the commu nity’s concerns in regard to the proposed site.

“It’s not often that a community gets a new fire station, so we need to ensure this station is best positioned to not only support the community now but also as it grows in the future,” she said.

“I have met with local residents and I share their concerns regarding noise and light impacts on residences in the area, as well as heavy traffic at that particular intersection, and the removal of quality residential land from the market during a housing crisis.

“The Queensland government needs to understand that ‘consultation’ does not mean making a decision and then in forming the public after the fact.

“It’s time for community members to have their say on the location of their new fire station.”

Ms Camm is now sponsoring a petition calling on the government to engage in genuine community consultation and invites residents to sign the petition so they can have their say. You can find the petition online at: https://bit.ly/3yPP3Ix

Oneconfirmed and a second un confirmed candidate for the Di vision Two Councillor role have stepped forward to stake their claim in the seat which Al Grundy vacated a week ago.

Mr Grundy resigned from his position mid-term which means that a by-election will be called within the coming weeks.

The Electoral Commission Queensland said they are still waiting to receive a con firmation of the date and method of voting (which may be postal) but that it is expect ed to happen within eight weeks.

In the meantime, candidates are beginning to come forward with long-term local resi dent, Clay Bauman, officially announcing he is running this week.

Known for his vocal Council meeting ap pearances where he holds staff members to account on various issues including the Port of Airlie development, Mr Bauman says he is now looking forward to creating change from the inside instead.

“I know it’s a big step-up to be part of it, but I have had a lot of dealings with Coun

“I’ve tried my best to do it from outside, so now I’ll have a go at doing it from the inside.”

Coming from a film and televi sion background, working as both a Director and Produc er for many years, Mr Bauman says he understands how to deal with different departments, meet budgets and other or ganisational practices common in big cor porations like a Council.

“I also have direct experience with read ing Council agendas and reports, and I’ve been attending Council meetings for years,” he said.

“I have a real grounding on what the re sponsibilities and powers of a Councillor are, and I will be able to put some dedi cation and diligence into this role so that Council can make balanced decisions, that benefit the community.

“We need a strong voice for discussion to debate all issues and get the voices of the community heard.”

One of the main topics on the agenda for Mr Bauman, if elected, will be ma jor amendments to the Planning Scheme which he believes falls short of what was promised to the community.

He has already met personally with Mayor Julie Hall and says that he feels he could work well with the team.

The second, unconfirmed candidate, is still yet to officially come forward but it is believed he will do so within the coming weeks.

Where Are All The Councillors Going?

Areshuffle

at the top has generated movement below for local council as one councillor departs midterm and a career politician takes up fulltime work at the mines.

Both Whitsunday Regional Councillors previously vied for the top job at the re cent mayoral election and, when they were unsuccessful, decided to pursue other ven tures.

Mike Brunker, a previous Mayor of both Bowen Shire and Whitsunday Regional Council for a combined 15 years and a recent Federal candidate for Dawson and State candidate for the Burdekin, has now decided to wear both corporate shirts and steel cap boots, taking a job as a “coal sam pler” and “helping his niece out” while also retaining his position as Division 6

Councillor.

Brunker and his wife currently own Bow en Plaza News and after six years, the cou ple now have the business for sale.

“My wife wants to sell, and I’ve decided to change direction a bit,” said Cr Brunker.

A Council spokesperson said it is not un common for Councillors to hold a second job as their role is a category 3 on the Lo cal Government pay scale which is consid ered part-time with renumeration around $70,000.

Indeed, Councillor John Collins is a wellknown local retailer operating Downtown Butchery in Proserpine and Deputy May or Gary Simpson owns a large cane farm in the area.

Brunker’s new role, however, will see him leave the region for seven days a fort night and many are asking the question of whether this could be symbolic of his intention to leave politics, with this being his last term in office.

This announcement comes just two weeks after Al Grundy’s shock resignation fol lowing his appointment with Mackay Isaac Tourism.

With his seat vacated at the beginning of this week, the Electoral Commission of Queensland say they are still waiting to receive confirmation as to when and how the next by-election for the Division 2 seat will be run.

It is meant to take place within eight weeks of the seat being vacated.

Clay Bauman will run for the Division 2 seat

A second candidate is unconfirmed

Local Projects To Suffer If Regions Fund Cut

Federal

Member for Dawson An drew Willcox and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Senator Bridget McKenzie are calling on the Federal Gov ernment to maintain commitments made to the regions through the Building Better Regions Fund.

Speaking in Mackay last week, Mr Will cox said the Dawson electorate received multiple funding commitments from the Building Better Regions Fund including $50,000 to Proserpine State School, $1 million towards stage 2 of the Lake Pros erpine Recreation Facility and $9 million towards Disaster Resilience and flood protection.

He said the $420,000 committed to Volun teer Marine Rescue (VMR) Whitsunday is also at risk.

“That goes towards the upgrade of their clubhouse or actual facility where they do a lot of their rescues from,” Mr Willcox said.

“They’ve had a 50 per cent increase in their callouts in the last few years and now they’re required to do medivacs and all those sorts of things and they’re all volun teers, they even pay for their own shirts.”

“We need to provide them with facilities to help service the community and keep people safe.”

“These projects cannot happen for your average council.

“We need federal govern ment support and that’s why the Building Better Regions Fund is so im portant.

“We will be watching what happens in this budget to make sure that we get our fair share because the peo ple of Dawson deserve it.”

Ms McKenzie said key projects facing an un certain future include a swathe of community and major infrastructure proj ects that will underpin the future economy of the Dawson electorate.

“We are very concerned about the Government’s silence on regional funding in the lead-up to the Bud get,” Ms McKenzie said.

“I’ve had mayors right around the country express concern to me that the Building Better Regions Fund will come under at tack.

“It’s up to the Labor Party to keep those commitments, to keep backing the re gions, because we believe we deliver a lot for this country so we’re asking they do not remove one dollar from the programs that underpin our economic and our so cial future.”

High Rise Activists Fight For The Foreshore

Agroup of dedicated community members who fight for the protec tion of Airlie Beach’s small town, low-rise, village atmosphere is heading to court today in order to challenge the Whitsunday Regional Council decision to approve a 46.7 metre high-rise building at Port of Airlie.

Similar height buildings already exist in Airlie Beach but they hug the hillside and are therefore less dominant than the strik ing structure that will sit on flat public parkland at Port of Airlie.

Community group Save Our Foreshore (SOF) have been at the forefront of chal lenging such developments for many years and have successfully fought developers on two occasions.

They have now raised a staggering $22,000 to pay for a barrister and legal costs in tak ing the matter to the courts today.

In addition, they have a petition which holds over 2000 signatures from residents who do not wish to see the development go ahead.

SOF President Suzette Pelt said that with developers reconfiguring the site into 10 lots, she is concerned that the recent ap

proval of a high-rise will pave the way for a “Mini Manhattan” separating adjacent Airlie apartments, homes and shops from the Beach.

“Foreshore high-rises just don’t belong in Airlie Beach,” she said.

“Losing public parkland to make it happen is just not on either - what happened to the original Queensland Government approv al of a maximum of three to five storeys in an integrated resort development over the whole site?”

“Traditionally town plans support main taining the character of a place, and for Airlie Beach that is its low-rise, village at mosphere brand.”

Ms Pelt said a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the cause.

“We’ve reached this critical point thanks to the amazing financial support of the Whitsunday community, businesses and visitors who were shocked and disgusted with council’s decision,” she said.

“We believe we have a very strong case. Based on the opinion of our expert wit ness and barrister who will argue not just on planning issues, but on social and com munity grounds as well.”

Save Our Foreshore have been protesting about the Port of Airlie high-rises for some time, but today they head to court

Prossie Students Do Their Part For “The Right To A Safe Birth”

Astaggering

385,000 women die annually during childbirth, many from preventable infections.

The Zonta Club of the Whitsundays Inc. and students from two Proserpine high schools put together 600 birthing kits at the beginning of October to be sent over seas and combat that harrowing statistic.

The Zonta Birthing Kit project – which began in 1995 - involves clubs arranging a birthing kit assembly day, putting togeth er simple, clean birthing kits and sending them to birthing assistants in developing countries.

Proserpine State High School have been participating in the project alongside the local Zonta club for over a decade, and on October 13, volunteered 30 of their year 10 students to contribute in the altruistic activity for the first time.

Early Childhood Teacher Cathy Muller said her year 10 students had recently completed the curriculum’s sexual edu cation component – including birthing –and the birthing kit project had resonated with many of the young girls in her cohort.

“They think about giving birth in the fu ture and they have the luxury of a hospital,

while these ladies who receive the packag es have nothing,” Ms Muller said.

Whitsunday Zonta Club President Dianne Trueman said, alongside St Catherine’s

College Proserpine, the support from the State High School was exceptional.

“Proserpine school do a great job with us, alongside St. Cath’s who have a Z Club. It’s always fantastic and all these kids gain something from it,” she said.

Prossie Mill Reunion Coming Soon

Former employees of the Proserpine Sugar Mill are invited to attend the 24th annual staff reunion, which is due to take place on Friday, November 4.

Everyone is welcome - whether you have simply moved on to other employment, been retired for a year or a decade – ev ery past employee is encouraged to come along.

84-year-old Ron Read started the event 24 years ago on the first year he retired after 46 and a half years of service.

He said that often they have around 50 people attending the reunion and that it is a good laugh with like-minded people.

A Hot Date For Tourism In The Whitsundays Chamber

tourism operators met visiting travel agents from all over Australia this week for a face-to-face chat to promote the region at the 2022 Whitsun day Tourism Exchange, the first of its kind in over three years.

On Tuesday, attendees engaged in a speed-dating style conversation where each local operator had just eight minutes to spruik the merits of their tour, service or experience to the 31 trade delegates that represented companies from across Aus tralia.

A mixture of travel associates, inbound and online travel agents enjoyed the re connaissance mission, connecting with tourism providers to discover the best rec ommendations for their clients.

A total of 36 local hotels, tour operators, transport services and affiliated business es joined the conference, using their eight minutes to win good rapport and secure potential bookings.

The event took place at Club Wyndham and was followed by a networking event at Shute Harbour Marine Terminal.

Afterwards, a portion of the buyers stayed on in the Whitsundays for a post event famil, spending one night in Airlie Beach, enjoying a tour to Whitehaven Beach and concluding with a night on one of the is lands.

Tourism Whitsundays CEO, Rick Hamil ton said the event was an excellent oppor tunity for local tourism businesses.

“The goal of this event is to make sure ev ery person looking for a holiday has access to The Whitsundays through their chosen booking channel,” he said.

“By bringing the top buyers into the region we’re making sure they know the product available and are seeing The Whitsundays at the same time.”

Tourism Whitsunday Trade Manager, Suzy Bohan said that travel agents are always on the lookout for a great holiday destination for their clients.

“The Whitsundays Tourism Exchange is one of the best ways we’ve found to in fluence travel itineraries issued nationally and internationally,” she said.

Garage Sale To Keep History Alive

Closing in on almost a century of community involvement in Pro serpine, the local Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) branch are cleaning house to fundraise for their future.

Set to celebrate 100 years in July next year, the local branch will hold their first ever garage sale next week to raise money to wards upgrading their QCWA Hall on Main Street.

The Proserpine branch’s current building – constructed in 1935 - needs its entry ac cess ramp and stairs replaced, and a garage sale was plotted to help fundraise for the cause.

Proserpine QCWA member Kerri Southee said the building has served the commu nity in many ways since its establishment.

“It is used for many varied events and

community organisations even today. From Yoga to Orchid Society Meetings and the QCWA ladies themselves meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 9am,” Ms Southee said.

“We need the community support to keep this historic institution alive and well and continuing to serve the community of the Whitsundays.”

QCWA are an active community of wom en who, together, improve the lives of peo ple living in regional, rural, and remote Queensland. They are always looking for members.

The garage sale will begin at 8.00am on Saturday, October 29, at the QCWA Hall on 4 Faust Street, Proserpine. Donations will also be accepted with the hall opening the day before from 1.00pm to 4.00pm.

Chat

TheWhitsunday Coast Chamber

AGM held last week was a tick and flick affair with financials present ed and accepted by attendees and current committee members retaining their posi tions and looking forward to the coming 12 months. The Chamber would welcome new committee members so if would like to become involved in the advocacy for business issues in the Whitsunday region, please get in touch.

This week the Chamber hosted its free in formation seminar to brief employers on the benefits of a Designated Area Migra tion Agreement in the region. It allows businesses to attract more full time work ers across a broader range of skills, and age groups and because it allows full time res idency at the end of the visa, it makes re gional communities stronger – with more permanent workers in the area. To be suc cessful, a DAMA needs the employers to get behind the process. If you missed the sessions, please contact the chamber for more information.

The Chamber, alongside other groups and business people, met with the new Mayor, Julie Hall to begin a working relationship with her. Concerns shared included a lack of master planning for growth in the re

gion, and the way that representation of residents in different Divisions is applied. Specific issues businesses have with some council processes were also discussed and we look forward to a progressive relation ship.

October is Indigenous Business (IBM) month, a time to shine a light on the eco nomic contributions of Indigenous busi nesses, people and organisations. It is also an opportunity to showcase the power of the Indigenous business sector and its commitment to an inclusive and sustain able future. If you are an Indigenous busi ness owner and would like to promote your business, contact the chamber via our website.

With the Whitsunday Tourism awards just around the corner, the Chamber is excited to be in partnership with TW and a ma jor sponsor of the Whitsunday Business Award category. This award has been ex panded to cover a much broader range of categories with the Greater Whitsunday business community, not just businesses involved in Tourism and we look forward to presenting all awards, including the Whitsunday Business of the Year.

THE RALLYING HAYMAN

In a Vintage Toyota Cressida 1991 Grande known as Christopher, Arpad Romandy and Ben Matters have so far raised over $35,000 for Cancer Council Australia.

The two Hayman Island residents took off on Friday, October 14, for the Mackay to Darwin spring Shitbox Rally passing through iconic Queensland towns as part of the Cancer Council fundraising event. Representing the Whitsundays as the “Hayman Island Team”, Arpad and Ben have been crossing the country alongside

225 others, each of them in cars worth no more than $1500.

They’re set to arrive in Darwin today to end their journey, riding high in their Toyota Cressida 1991 Grande which has been decked out in a Whitsundays themed paintjob to take a piece of the region with them, and painted by local artists.

Already, they’ve driven from Mackay to Charters Towers, on to Chillagoe, Nor manton, Hell’s Gate Roadhouse, Bor roloola, and Mataranka – their final stop

McCormack’s Dairy: (From a brief family history written by Dorothy McCormack/Graw)

As Mick and Aimee McCormack thought cane did not provide a viable living, they decided to go into dairying. In 1925, they installed milking machines. In the 1930s, helped by children, Joe and Dorothy, they were milking 300 cows and, on top of sup plying milk to the town, were, at times, sending more than a ton of cream to the Mackay creamery.

Dorothy moved cattle from one paddock to another before and after school, helped with the dipping of the milkers and was always on hand to help if the machines broke down. When many of the workers went off to war, it became impossible to keep the dairy going. It was leased out to different families for a few years but was eventually sold to the Muller Family.

Nicol’s Dairy: (Registration No. 11629)

Alec Nicol purchased a dairy which he moved to “Willowbrook”, the family farm on the western outskirts of Proserpine.

Registration of the dairy was granted on August 13, 1936. Sons, Clive, James and Nev ille looked after the dairy before and after school. They also kept pigs and it was James’s job to look after them.

O’Hara’s Dairy: (Registration No 914)

O’Hara’s dairy was situated just across the river in the vicinity of the Airlie Beach turn off. Mr and Mrs Jack O’Hara milked about forty cows as well as working a small cane farm. All milking was done by hand, starting around 3am. When Jim O’Hara and his twin brothers, Ray and Vic, were about 11 and 12 respectively, their par ents went to live on Dent Island. Their step brother, Harvey Hewitt, managed the farm and dairy and the three boys all had to help out. When Ray and Vic left school, Jim was left with most of the chores.

This extract from Jim’s memories of dairy ing, recorded many years ago, captures the tough life on a dairy.

“I had to get up at 2.30am and saddle up

the horse to bring the cows home from a sixty-acre paddock in all weather. I would ride around the paddock calling the cows and they would head for the gate. Once it was opened, they headed for the dairy. We milked till about 5am, using car bide lights. I then yoked up the horse to the milk cart to deliver milk around the town. I sold two twelve-gallon cans and one four-gallon can but sometimes I had to get milk from Hewson’s, McKenzie’s or McKay’s so that we had enough for our deliveries. The price was threepence a pint and sixpence a quart. When the de livery was finished, I would have to find out how much milk the ABC Cafe needed that morning, deliver it and check on the order for the evening.

During the day, the cows roamed down by the river. After school they had to be rounded up and the cows without calves had to be milked. More milk was then

delivered to the ABC Cafe. The rest was separated, some made into butter and the surplus cream sent to the Mackay factory. By the time everything was cleaned, cane tops collected in a dray and put through the chaff cutter, it was usually 9pm before the horses were fed.”

“I will never forget my days on the dairy. There was never any time for pleasure and, at that time, 1 wouldn’t have wished dairy life on my worst enemy.”

HAYMAN ISLANDERS

before the Darwin finish and the end of what is a more than 3300-kilometre jour ney.

The annual Cancer Council event has a goal of raising $2 million amongst its combined teams, and Arpad and Ben are leading as the second highest fundraisers, with roughly $35,000 of their $50,000 goal.

Arpad, whose day job when he’s not ral lying around the country is as General Manager at Hayman Island’s InterConti nental Resort, said the trip had been an amazing experience.

“The locals in the outback are absolutely amazing at getting behind us and sup porting us, but we support them as well,” Arpad said.

“The mechanics and the rest of the Shit

box team are amazing, too. The fundrais ing has been extremely meaningful. We already are wanting to do it again.”

The pair have spent much of the rally in “triage” where the vehicles are regularly fixed up by support cars and other racers – everyone pitches in.

Arpad said the seven-day rally was the “fun reward for raising vital funds for ground-breaking Cancer Research proj ects” and had a special place in his heart.

Whitsunday For Daniel

AWhitsundays

non-for-profit is dis tributing tasty treats next week as part of its annual, full-day of child safety education and awareness.

On Day For Daniel on Friday, October 28, Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre will raise funds for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation through a “Cupcake Drive”, selling scrumptious treats.

The Cupcake Drive is just one of the activ ities on the centre’s itinerary for the day, including child protection lessons and ed ucational activities run throughout Friday at the centre’s Scallywags Childcare prem ises next door.

The annual event is Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day and honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe, a thirteen-year-old boy who was tragically abducted and murdered on the way to his local shopping centre where he planned to buy Christmas presents for his family.

The red t-shirt he wore on the day he went missing has become a symbol of child safety awareness and every year, thousands of people dress in red to commemorate his life and better our world.

Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre are spreading the message of Day for Daniel through delicious fundraisers and education programs

Although purchasing closed yesterday for the cupcakes, Whitsunday Neighbour hood Centre executive officer Bec Woods said the message of Day For Daniel was just as important as the sweet treats.

“Each year we do something for Day For Daniel to promote child protection prin ciples and educational resources; it’s a very worthy and important cause,” Ms Woods said.

“Getting the word out through school let ters and social media has been an integral part of this fundraising process.”

The cakes will be baked fresh by Proserpine business, Buttercup Lane, and collected at two sites: The Neighbourhood Centre and the business itself. They hope to raise $500 dollars for the foundation this year.

How can you help?

Agroup

of dedicated stakeholders gathered last week for an indus try networking evening to cel ebrate the official launch of the Healthy Rivers to Reef Stewardship Magazine and 2021 Report Card.

The culmination of many projects that have significantly improved the health of our waterways, oceans, and ecosystems, these two informative brochures are packed with real life stories and results from data collected.

The Stewardship Magazine shows how local farmers have managed to reduce their fertiliser input by 30 per cent and up the organic matter in their soil to increase its holding capacity by 170,000 litres.

Other incredible projects include the work of Eco Barge Clean Seas to remove 4.81 tonnes of marine debris which was collected by 438 volunteers.

The $23.5 million Reef Assist program also saw 4,460 trees planted, the installa tion of 1,200 coral restoration structures across 220 sites and 35 cubic metres of marine debris collected.

Bonny Stutsel, Executive Officer of Healthy Rivers to Reef Mackay-Whit sunday-Isaac said she was thrilled to see so many projects all working together to help our local environment and said the ecosystem is currently “stable”.

“These projects have shown how we can all work together by collaborating around issues such as litter, fish monitoring, wet land preservation and improving bio fil

ters to improve water quality,” said Ms Stutsel.

During the networking event which took place at Whisper Gin Bar and Restaurant on Friday night, two speakers were wel comed.

Firstly, Jason Sharon, Managing Director of Linked Group Services shared his sto ry of operating a completely ‘off the grid’ fabrication company in Mackay.

He offered the audience ideas on how we can all reduce our carbon footprint through smart practices.

Also speaking at the event was Lisa Hutchinson from Neilly Group En gineering who discussed erosion control and how we can reduce the amount of sedi ment going into the ocean.

Healthy Rivers to Reef Partnership Chair, Julie Boyd, said it was an ex citing moment for all the part ners who had all contributed to the various projects.

“It shows the part

ner’s fantastic work, engagement and collaboration to get great outcomes,” she said.

“It’s important to think about where wa ter goes and how it gets out to our beau tiful waterways, we all need to make sure we are doing everything we can to protect the environment.

“There are lots of ways the community can get involved through stewardship and volunteering.”

You can grow corn at any time of year

to the supermarket today and corn was $1 per cob. I bought eight of them!

Yes me! Why…… because I’ve picked all my corn. I’ve planted my next crop (yes you can plant corn this time of year too) but not in succession – my bad.

If you do not value “organically grown” or knowing where your food comes from, or knowing what it’s been sprayed with nor do you value your input into a healthier environment and sharing your produce with neighbours and friends.

If picking vegies from your garden to pre pare your evening meal does not appeal to you nor do you have an appreciation for the growing process – watering each morning to nurture plants and enjoy time

out and having a sense of achievement when picking the fruits of your labour, then why bother growing your own when you can buy a corn from the supermarket for $1?

My answer is – Don’t.

Growing your own food is about getting in touch with nature, understanding the im portance of every aspect of your environ ment including the soil you grow in, the sun, the value of water and the benefits to our wildlife and beneficial insects.

It’s about composting, worms and micro organisms in the earth and getting up each day to nurture your plants and in turn yourself. It’s more than having food avail able at your beck-and-call and more than saving money when lettuce prices get to

$10 each, but that certainly helps!

So, what can you start growing in your gardens right now in the Whitsundays?

The most prolific months for growing from seed / seedlings here are between April and August but there are still herbs and vegies that you can plant now.

Try Sweet Corn, this grows all year round and it’s an impressive crop to grow, Sweet Potatoes and Ginger are also happy in those 30-degree temperatures.

Basil and Lemon Basil does very well this time of year too.

I also have lots of Parsley growing at the moment and I still like to plant salad greens, but this time of year they require a bit of care as they don’t like it when the

temperature gets over 27 degrees.

With temperatures on the rise as we come into summer, on those beautiful Whitsun day blue sky days, you are going to need to protect your leafy greens.

Shade cloth or “vegetable netting” be comes essential, 25-30% shade is ideal and doubles up as protection from those pesky bugs that love your greens as much as you do.

Remember that your herbs and salad greens will go to seed quickly (known as bolting) in summer months if you don’t give them shade, keep them well watered or forget to liquid feed them.

Stress signals a plant to go to seed, so take extra care in these coming months with these three very important growing needs.

Prossie High Cuts The Cake On Revamped Quadrangle

State High School stu dents celebrated the official opening of their newly refurbished school quadrangle on Thursday, October 13, with a special commemorative ceremony hon ouring the remarkable efforts of its Parents and Citizens’ association (P&C).

Proserpine

The approximately $440 thousand dollar upgraded quadrangle, a space between the school’s buildings which creates a court yard, has been in the works since 2016.

The new design incorporated much of what was the original quadrangle’s vision upon its opening in 1988 by the school’s bicentennial committee and P&C. That original construction period had seen the space transformed from what was once a bitumen basketball court and assembly space into an at the time state-of-the-art

quadrangle.

Deputy Principal Don McDermid said the school’s completed 2022 refurbishment has attempted to capture the “original con cept and design of that quadrangle” whilst bringing it into the modern era.

The quad was in part fundraised by the exceptional efforts of the P&C association, who raised a staggering $190 thousand to wards the project, primarily through their running of the school’s tuckshop.

Although the space was completed in weeks prior, the day acted as an opportu nity for the quad to be “utilised to its full potential” by the school community for its inaugural Mental Health Week event.

“It’s great to see this new space being uti lised to its full potential,” Mr McDermid

Massive Mental Health Week

For Queensland Men tal Health Week, Pro serpine State High School ran a series of activ ities for staff and students every day in an inaugural event: ‘Healthy Mind, Body And Soul At Prossie’.

For the week’s culmination, the school hosted a Thurs day lunch time barbecue, combining with the official opening of its new quadran gle, and inviting guests from community organisations.

The free, whole school bar becue was flanked by or ganisations like headspace, Youth Space, Whitsunday Counselling and Support, Lives Lived Well, Airlie Fit ness, and more.

It saw the school’s internal groups – Big Games, An ime Group, Drumming, LGBTQIA+, STEM, Indige nous Art Project and more –celebrate the opening of the new space as well as their own individuality.

Proserpine State High School Guidance Officer Karen O’Keefe was the

“driving force” behind the weeklong mental health awareness event at the school which included art therapy, mindful craft and meditation, and a talk and walkathon.

“This week has been all about mental health. We’ve run stress ball making, yoga, and it was all in the name of awareness,” Ms O’Keefe said.

“We’ve never done anything like it before and we’re just taken aback by the support from the community that we’ve had.”

The school’s student advi sory centre – Ms O’Keefe’s team - plans to run and ex pand the annual event each year.

“Drawing awareness to mental wellbeing and what we can do to promote pos itive wellbeing was the ma jor goal of the week,” Ms O’Keefe said.

“What we can do to help ourselves and focusing on that in a positive light.”

said.

“It is a perfect venue and a perfect space now. This work for our new quadrangle started in 2016, and I want to acknowledge Samantha Lang, our P&C President at that time, for her endorsement and commit ment for what this wanted to achieve for our school.

“Secondly, I want to thank [current P&C President] Lisa Milne. Her continued sup port in getting this project to its final stage has been pivotal.”

Mr McDermid said the contribution was “extremely significant” both financially and in terms of dedication.

“This is an incredible space for our stu dents for outdoor learning, school activi ties and events, and it provides that open

ness that is sometimes needed within our school,” he said.

“To have this open environment is very important.”

The quadrangle is home to multiple shaded areas, AstroTurf fake grass, newly-plant ed trees – which Mr McDermid said the school was “excited to see flourish” – and widespread seating.

Proserpine State High School P&C Presi dent Lisa Milne said having a space for the kids to hang out and enjoy was the perfect reward.

“That’s why we wanted to do it. It’s fabu lous and looks great and seeing the kids utilising and enjoying it is just excellent,” she said.

“It is such a good asset for the school.”

Spend time with your children

Fortunately, with so much demand on our time, quality is more important than quantity when it comes to spending time with your children. Be present and entirely focused on your child and the activity, set aside time specifically for them and engage with some thing that is meaningful to you both.

Let them know you are always there

Sometimes children can find it hard to talk to their parents, especially in their teenage years but that doesn’t mean that you should avoid the difficult conversations. Always check-in with them, address issues you see and if they are not ready to talk suggest they speak with another relative they trust and remind them you are available anytime they want to talk.

Take time to explain how you are feeling

Knowing that their parents aren’t perfect is good for children who can then understand that showing weakness and being vulnera ble is a natural part of life. Take care of your own emotional health, be a role-model, let them see how you navigate challenging sit uations. They can watch how you get upset but then pick yourself back up and carry on.

Validate their feelings and show affection

Sometimes you won’t understand the mag nitude of your child’s response to a situation, in fact it might seem quite trivial to you but that doesn’t mean it gets brushed off. Listen to their struggles and don’t demean them or offer advice. Simply endeavour to under stand, reassure them their feelings are valid and give them a cuddle.

While adults can find it easy to talk about their emotions, children often feel uncom fortable when asked direct questions, they need to relax and get distracted to start sharing how they feel with others.

There is no-one who understands this more than Deb Farlow from Whitsunday Kids Counselling who finds play based therapy works best for the children she helps each week.

For the past three and a half years, Whit sunday Kids Counselling has been working closely with local kids who are living with a wide range of disabilities that can impact on their capacity to enjoy social interaction.

From Autism to Asperger’s, depression, anx iety, bullying and grief – Deb can help your child process their emotions with regular sessions that become a healing outlet.

As soon as you enter her clinic at 69 Mara thon Street, the site of the Old St Catherine’s School, you are welcomed into a calming oasis.

The sounds of water flowing from a nearby water feature, the soothing tunes of medita tive music and vibrant wall hangings all add together to create a relaxed atmosphere.

Children are encouraged to try Djembe drumming with an African drum, experience Sandplay with natural or kinetic sand and enjoy arts and crafts for play therapy.

The idea is that when a child is distracted by doing something fun and creative, they will be more inclined to share their feelings and when they are in that headspace, Deb is able

to help them best.

In addition to one-on-one counselling sessions, families are also welcome to get advice on topics such as blended families.

Once a week, Deb also holds Wellbeing Workshops - one for boys aged 10-12 and two for girls – one for 8-10 and the second for 10–12-year-olds.

These small group sessions are available to a maximum of six kids and the group forms strong friendships that would otherwise be challenging in larger settings such as schools.

The children enjoy cooking together, bead ing and drumming – a popular favourite is throwing water balloons throwing your ‘worries’ against a wall and watching them burst into nothing.

Discover how Deb can help your child through play and positivity today.

Airlie Beach Festival Of Music Top Picks

For

its tenth year of delivering the nostalgic, the boutique, the rock, and the roll, Airlie Beach Festival of Music (ABFoM) has upped the ante, capitalising on its status as QMA 2022 Festival of the Year to bring an all-star se lection of acts to the coastal town it calls home.

In a decade of performances at the fes tival, there have been few set lists as stacked full of talent. There’s too many to choose from, but these are the must-see performers at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music 2022:

The Animals

Travelling direct from The House Of The

Rising Sun, The Animals – the British band and Rock Hall Of Famers who topped the American charts in the ‘60s – are the pre mier performers at this year’s ABFoM.

Featuring original members John Steel and Mickey Gallagher alongside Danny Hand ley and Bobby Ruiz, The Animals are set to

“Murder Most Foul”

Crime Writer Visits The Region

deliver a performance worthy of a festival celebrating a decade of bringing live mu sic to the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.

Playing their greatest hits including House Of The Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, and more, they’re the ones to watch at this year’s celebration of music.

two APRA Awards for Most Played Rock Song on Australian Radio and Best Rock Song Of 2010.

In the western tradition, forests are an “imagination exerciser” where danger can lurk in every hollow, every shadow.

For his fifth fiction novel ‘The Tilt’, best-selling Australian author Chris Ham mer – who recently visited the Whitsun days whilst touring with his novel up the coast - followed in the footsteps of fairy tales, setting his story of familial intrigue, history, and murder in a famed Australian woodland.

In the Barmah Millewa Forest, which stretches across the state line of New South Wales and Victoria, becoming a swamp when the Murray River swells to its fullest, the crime writer plants a multi-layered sto ry where bodies and secrets are unearthed.

“It’s a forest nine months of the year and a wetland for three when the river spills out, running up the myriad creek,” Hammer said.

“The water managers have put little dams on all of the mouths of these, regulating the water. That’s the setting and it’s a good setting for a crime book – in forests they tell you to not go off the path.

“In this book, it’s not just one storyline but three – one in the second world war, an other in the ‘70s, and in modern day.”

At three Whitsunday libraries – Cannon vale, Proserpine, and Bowen – Hammer was interviewed on his latest book by local journalists for ‘In Conversation’ events, in cluding Whitsunday Life writer and jour nalist Declan Durrant.

Locals attended the intimate events to ask their own questions to Hammer, an ex-journalist of 30 years, have their books signed, and listen.

Hammer has established himself as one of the country’s premier writers in the Australian noir genre – which often sees small-town life thrown into disarray when a dark and chilling crime takes place.

“I think I’m very fortunate to be a full-time author, and that’s thanks to all of you,” he said.

Chris Hammer’s novel The Tilt is available at each of the Whitsunday libraries, as well as online for purchase at Booktopia.

Eskimo Joe

Representing Australian rock royalty at ABFoM will be Eskimo Joe, 35-time ARIA nominated band who have only been sur passed in the metric by Silverchair, Pow derfinger, John Farnham and Kylie Mi nogue – they’re in good company.

Eskimo Joe’s juggernaut song Black Fin gernails, Red Wine spent a monster 62 weeks in the ARIA Top 50 Chart, and their single, Foreign Land, brought home

Jon Stevens

Musician Jon Stevens – with his new al bum Starlight, and a brand-new single ti tled ‘Hold On’ – will bring the rock back to Airlie Beach.

Stevens is recognised as one of the most talented rock musicians to emerge from Australia in recent memory. The once lead singer of major rock acts Noise works, INXS, and Dead Daisies has had a career that’s only gone from strength-tostrength.

Wog Boys Forever

Thecountry’s box office records were broken by a (frankly) absurd candidate in the year 2000 – one that few would have suspected, although looking back it was an absurd timewhen ‘The Wog Boy’ became one of the highest-grossing Australian films of all time.

It might not have ever set critics alight, but the film, which starred and was writ ten by Nick Giannopoulos, managed to find itself as part of the pantheon of iconic Australian cinema.

It was in some good company, too - The Castle and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert among them – and it even spawned a sequel which arrived onscreen in 2010, ‘Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos’.

Now, another decade on, a third instal ment, again with Giannopoulos at the helm as a writer and star, has arrived in the form of ‘Wog Boys Forever’.

It still follows Steve ‘The Wog Boy’ Karamitsis (Giannopoulos), who, despite his best efforts, remains single and still works as a taxi driver. An unexpected guest in his cab sets in motion a chain of events for the character – alongside Vince

Colosimo reprising his role as Steve’s best mate Frank - to once again show the world that “Where there’s a Wog, there’s always a Way!”.

It’s been twelve years since we last saw Steve, and things haven’t turned out the way he thought they would. He’s not danc ing the Zorba anymore or doing ouzo shots. We find him all alone in an up

side-down world.

It’s a rite-of-passage story for Steve, al though he might be enduring a mid-life crisis, he’s still trying to find his way.

Let’s see if he can get back “that wog boy mojo he once had.”

Wog Boys Forever (MA) is showing at the Bowen Summergarden Cinema now.

We Got The Spirit Of The Blues, Brother

It’s one thing to imitate and another to embody.

Since 2005, Dan Aykroyd, and the John Belushi Estate have been a driving force be hind The Official Blues Brothers Revue – a show coming to the Airlie Beach Hotel for free in early November.

Officially sanctioned and endorsed by the family – including the late John Belushi’s wife, Judith – as well as Dan Aykroyd him self, this show direct from the US is as close as it comes to the real deal.

It’s been a long time since the Blues Broth ers and their hit 1980s musical, comedy film about a not-quite-real and not-quite-fake musical duo became legendary – and two performers with the blessing of the Blues are carrying on their legacy.

They’ll croon onto the Bar Top Stage at locals’ favourite local on November 5 for more than a tribute show: It’s “the concert version of The Blues Brothers” according to Judith Belushi.

The North American duo of Wayne Cata nia and Keiron Lafferty as Jake and Elwood Blues will don the official hat and sunglasses to walk in the legendary footsteps of the boys in a rollicking performance at The Pub.

There’s good reason the pair have been given not just the go ahead to perform as Elwood

and Jake, but have been officially sanctioned. They capture the infectious humour and un bridled spirit of the Blues Brothers like no one since John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd themselves would walk the stage. Backed by a hard-hitting, powerhouse band, Jake and Elwood give audiences a show to remember, packed with their classic hits from the Blues Brothers’ catalogue.

From Soul Man to Rubber Biscuit, Sweet Home Chicago to Gimme Some Lovin’, Raw hide, and more. It’s a night of laughter and foot-stompin’ fun that will have Airlie Beach audiences on their feet.

Wayne and Kieron, aka Jake and Elwood, have been on a mission to deliver the most dynamic and authentic Blues Brothers show ever to hit the US – and undoubted ly succeeded.

Now on an Australian tour, they’ll cruise into The Pub to combine the comedy, mu sic and mayhem from the original mov ie, as well as songs from the five popular albums put out by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

It is a more than faithful recreation of the characters, and a spectacular tribute to Chicago’s rich history of blues, R&B and traditional soul music, played with the same conviction of the original Blues

The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand

Grizzly ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom, uniting for all hallows eve to transform the Whitsunday PCYC into a “House Of Horror.”

In a week’s time, when a gibbous moon creeps in the sky, bathing the Whit sundays in eerie light, the local community centre will change, becoming spook central for kids and parents to enjoy on October 29.

For the first time ever, the PCYC will be celebrating Halloween in special, spectral fashion: opening its doors as a House of Horror for all to enjoy (if they dare).

PCYC Branch Manager and Police Ser geant, as well as chief ghoul wrangler, Billy Li said his team at the PCYC have been hard at work creating a creepy castle atmo sphere, transmuting the back rooms of the building into spider-webbed catacombs.

“In the haunted house maze, travel from room to room in PCYC and experience horror,” Sergeant Li, who will be dressed in a surprise costume on the day, said.

There will be two sessions of the Haunt ed House: the spooky session at 4.00pm to 5.30pm for all ages, and the scream ses sion from 6.30pm to 8.30pm for those who

dare.

“The second session will be catered for adolescents to adults where we will lev el-up our scares. Expect people popping up from strange places and being chased,”

Sergeant Li said.

The event will function as a fundraiser for the not-for-profit organisation to upgrade its youth space. Supplies have been do nated by Cannonvale Big W, Woolworths Airlie Beach, Bunnings, and Whitsunday Plaza.

Entry is $5 for one-time entry or $10 for three times.

Sergeant Li thanked all his staff for “getting behind the spooky day.”

On The Water

TwilightRace: Wednesday saw a stronger breeze between 15 and 25 knots, providing plenty of action for the 18 boats who participated in the Whitsunday Sailing Club twilight race on Pioneer Bay. The strong breeze saw a num ber of boats with reefed mainsails as they endeavoured to keep the boats properly balanced.

In the first start of the day QMS Ponyo (John Galloway) led the fleet away to take the Doyle Sails sponsored best start prize, with Bobby’s Girl (Mark Beale) and Wide Load (Shannan Hart) in pursuit.

A change of sail configuration for Smooth Criminal (Leo Rodriguez) put them to the back of the fleet, with a strong recovery to follow. Bobby’s Girl soon hit the lead from QMS Ponyo with Smooth Criminal a dis tant third.

Even with a small crew, Treasure VIII (Rob Davis) sailed well to pick up second on corrected time behind Wide Load, with Twister finishing third.

Another strong start from Rossgo (Greg Hammon) was usurped by a stronger start by Shiraz (John Cable), while up front it was Wobbly Boot (Craig Piccinelli) lead

ing the way.

A slow start by Alabaster (Kate Warren) had them in pursuit, finally finish ing just 4 seconds behind Wobbly Boot.

The mid fleet saw close racing between Rossgo, Shiraz and Masquerade, while some of the small er, lighter boats, such as Lighthorse (Di Forster) and Norbert G (Ghigo Casalini) struggled in the breeze. Rossgo took cor rected time win by 2 sec onds over Wobbly Boot with Alabaster third.

A three-boat race in the multihulls saw Over drive (Rupert King) lead the fleet away, but Mal ice (Graham Matthews) soon hit the lead, with G’nome (Terry Archer) in pursuit.

Malice once again completed 4 laps, while the others completed three laps, allowing G’nome to take line honours. Malice still

ruled the day, taking corrected time win by 30 seconds to G’nome with Overdrive third.

Full results are available at https://app.sail sys.com.au/club/85/profile?tab=results.

Races start from 4.30pm each Wednesday

afternoon, so those wishing to participate as crew need to be at the club by 2.30 pm (limited spots available).

An Activation A Day For Marine Rescue, Medivacs Increasing

Although October has been a qui eter month for the Whitsundays’ Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR), the rescue operator is still exceeding last year’s record activations by 20 per cent.

Far fewer breakdowns were recorded com pared to last October: VMR’s monthly to tal of five breakdown activations in 2021 has lessened to zero so far, but the slack has been picked up in cases of medivacs.

Compared with last year, VMR has taken to the water three times for medical evac uations, contrasting with last years figures of just once.

From 2019, activations have steadily in

creased on an annual basis in all facets: breakdowns and medivacs. The local VMR has even been noted as the second busiest coastal rescue service in terms of medivac in the state, only pipped by Brisbane.

Medivacs have become a large part of the volunteer services daily operations.

President of VMR Whitsunday Mal Pri day said the ramping up of medivacs was obviously disconcerting, but VMR was “happy to be providing the valuable ser vice for the community.”

“We’re coping, and we now make sure we have a dedicated skipper each night for medivac in the boat designed specifically

for medical evacuations,” Mr Priday said.

The operations are performed at the re quest of the Queensland Ambulance Ser vice (QAS).

When a triple zero call comes in, the duty QAS supervisor considers all aspects on a case-by-case basis: the seriousness of the injury or illness, whether a medivac is nec essary, and whether it is best performed by helicopter or by sea.

Mr Priday said the callouts can “be at any time, day or night,” and that VMR are al ways accompanied by at least one and sometimes two QAS Paramedics on board when medivacs are deemed necessary.

“We have assisted about 320 people on medivacs so far this year,” Mr Priday said.

Mr Priday and other volunteers believe the increase in activations – which was at its height in September with, on average, an activation per day – is due to education around boat safety, as well as an uptick in boat usage due to the pandemic.

October may be a quieter month, but Mr Priday said the service is still averaging those September numbers of an activation per day.

VMR membership is “a cheap insurance”, costing just $80 and can be joined at https://vmrwhitsundays.com.au/join/

Airlie Beach Parkrun

COMMUNITY

This week 97 motivated peo ple ran, jogged and walked the 5km waterfront course, of whom 30 were first timers. De spite the hot weather, there were 16 new Personal Bests. Well done to Ben, Josh, Ryan, Phil, Robert, Stephen, Michael, Emma, An drew, Tom, Leone, Julie, Shane, Libby, Bolinda and Carolyn. There were 4 milestones achieved; Ben and Josiah completed their 25th parkrun, Tom and Lachlan completed their 50th parkrun.

The event was made possible by 17 wonderful volunteers: Nick, Kara, Matthew, Joshua (co-run director), Sarah, Nathalie (pho tographer), Kirsty, Darlene, Boss ie, Craig, Laura (co-run director), Louise, Lynne, Braxton, Dennis, Joanne and Diane.

“Like She’s Dancing On Ice”

Local ballerina Ruby Elson has set herself apart from the rest and earned a place at the prestigious Australian School of Ballet.

After just two years of pursuing the genre, the 10-year-old rising star who seems to float on stage and trained alongside the re nowned Claudia Dean – a Royal Ballet alumni with years of ex pertise in the craft – achieved her dream of heading to the national centre for elite classical dance next year.

Ruby received her successful application letter in September, and the hours of extra-curric ular training, passion, and ex traordinary drive were finally rewarded.

“We had prepared her that she might not make it – that she was competing against all these oth ers from across Australia who wanted to be ballerinas – and at her age, too,” her mother, Mei Elson said.

“When we read the letter that she’d been accepted, I cried, she

cried, and my husband cried –I’ve never seen him do that.”

Ruby will head to the Mel bourne-based school – Aus tralia’s premier training facility for the genre to train part-time until the age of 13, being re-as sessed each year to remain at the famed institution, when she will graduate to a full-time curricu lum.

Her mother said the true thing that separates her is her work ethic and her perse verance.

“I’m so proud of her,” Mei said.

“I’m so in spired by how incredible she is; she’s so driven to train, to be better and it’s just unbe lievable to watch.”

The Cannons wished Jacob Bell all the best in his five-kilometre swim at the Queensland OWS Championships.

Top performers at Club Night on Wednes day were Jasmine and Robert Gerlofsma, while Millie Groom and Sophie Fletcher swam extremely well and setting personal

bests in just about all their events. Special welcome to Billie Jamieson who did very well in his first Club Night.

Congratulations to swimmers who achieved personal bests: Lucas Korosec, Pippa Laguna, Lily Maher, Owen Maher, Nelson Malady, Matilda Nicholes, Ales sa Penglasse Fortunato, Isaac Pisaniello, Isabella Pisaniello, Addie Sanders, Max

Smith, Molly Smith, Ryan Clark, Jax Clay worth, and Zane Clayworth.

Congratulations to all the swimmers who participated at Club Night on Wednesday and a big thank you to all the wonderful parents and volunteers who assist with of ficiating, catering, and fundraising.

Proserpine Pitbulls Cricket Report

CRICKET

Theunder 11s brand new Pitbull pups side – the Proserpine Crick et Clubs first time fielding this age group - had their first taste of the Mackay Cricket competition by taking on Brothers in Mackay last Saturday.

After losing the bat flip and being sent into the field, Captain Kobi led his troops with some great bowling (1-10 off four overs) and a spectacular run out assisted by wick et keeper Aiden.

Bradley had the ball on a string (2-15 off 4 overs), and Aiden was looking dangerous (2-8 off 2 overs) who also got a direct hit for a run-out!

Good tight bowling from Jaxson (0-15 off 4 overs) and Matthew (0-7 off 2 overs) kept the Brothers at bay.

Sean (1-21 off 4 overs) came up with a peach to take out the middle stump!

Some quick running between the wickets at the back end of the innings got Brothers to a defendable 9-79 off the 20 overs.

Now it was the Pitbull pups turn to don the pads and swing the willow.

With Aiden (six) and Sean (one) getting off to a steady start, Matthew (five) was next, swinging the bat hard but picking out the fielders. Jaxson eight top scored with some great hitting and running be tween the wickets. Bradley (seven) was next and played some classy shots.

The required run rate was going up with some tight bowling from Brothers

throughout the innings.

Kobi (four) did his best to get the Pitbull pups over the line, but it was a tough ask with the best bowlers coming back on at the end. 10-62 off the 20 overs was the re sult, 17 runs short.

Player of the day went to Bradley.

The Pitbulls Under 12’s side travelled to Walkerston, facing off at Vigaro Field for round one of their competition, fairer bet ter against the south side.

The Whitsunday young guns faced a for midable task on the road up against a strong Walkerston ‘Scrubbies’ Roosters club.

To add to the challenge, the local team were a player short, had several on debut in the Mackay Saturday competition, and were also fielding a young, inexperienced side which included two 10-year-old tyro’s.

Pitbull Captain Ollie Dibben lost the toss and the gun Walkerston team elected to bowl.

The ever-reliable Shannon Matthews and Captain Dibben strode to the crease to open the season.

After a 9-run opening stand, the captain played a shot across the line and lost his middle stump, out for two.

Alex Valmadre then joined Shannon at the crease and settled the ship before retiring with Noah Porter, the first of the young ty ro’s, making his debut straight after.

The youngster too elected to play across the line and was quickly on his way back to the sheds for five.

Lily Smith then strode to the crease to face some hostile Scrubbie bowling. She and Alex V defied the attack until Lily copped a good one and was on her way. Alex V then retired after his 20 balls to see the un derdogs at 3-64.

The second of the young tyro’s, Korbin Dibben, made his way to the middle with Benny Hope, aka ‘Starky’.

Starky and Korbin pushed the score along against some tight bowling, with Korbin retiring after his 20 deliveries.

All-rounder Reg Davies then made his way to the middle. Under attack, he fought hard but was ultimately the victim of a sharp caught and bowled chance, out for two.

Big Starky soon followed for three leaving the two retirees together to push the score along.

Alex V was then dismissed for 10 which saw young Korbin return; he and Shannon then took the score to 89 before he was given out lbw for 10, closing the innings and leaving the brave youngster unbeaten on 1 after facing 23 balls.

It was a competitive score at 89, but the Pitbulls knew it would be tough against a strong Scrubbies batting unit.

Starky Hope began the bowling, destroy ing the Scrubby openers castle with his

fourth delivery.

Despite some tight bowling, it was 3-67 at the break and on-track for a regulation victory for Walkerston.

Alex V with ever-reliable Shanon M bowled great spells with Valmadre taking two key wickets and Shannon one, includ ing a spectacular low catch in the covers by Starky.

It 7-75.

Starky proceeded to bowl a ripper maiden over to keep things tight before handing over to young Noah P, who stormed in.

With the pressure on, he bowled a couple of tight ones before going full which en ticed the gun Rooster opener into a lofted drive which headed to Davies.

Under immense pressure Reggie moved forward and cupped the chance with a great catch to win the game for the under dogs against all odds.

Players player - Alex Valmadre (10 runs, 2 wickets and a run-out)

The children were excited to run out onto the Great Barrier Reef Arena in front of hundreds of spectators, and it was made even better when an Adelaide Striker play er greeted them with smiles, words of en couragement, and an autographed cap.
