Hi, Constant Readers.

Professionals, tradesmen, and business owners in the Whitsundays are more than familiar with the characteristics of a small team: can do attitudes, grit.

And, often, being in a small team means doing the odd job around the workplace.

Those can range from things like vacuuming to – in my case – distributing newspapers across Proserpine last month.

That extra-vocational outing took me on a morning drive through the sugarcane town to, in effect, deliver the newspaper to you, Constant Reader.

That was one of two times recently where I was shown how much the newspaper means to people in the region – especially Proserpine.

As soon as bundles went onto the shelf at places like IGA, they started flying off again; there was even a queue developing at one point. Lots of people had two copies furled under their arms or popped into the trolley – one for them and one for their neighbours, mostly.

Sometimes you can’t see the scale of a thing until you spy its smallest part.

That was one of the sentimental moments in the past month that’s underpinned this profession with sweetness for me.

The next week, I was back in Proserpine chasing a story and ended up in the Museum’s archive room. It’s filled with boxes on boxes of Proserpine’s history, and amongst them I found hundreds of copies of Whitsunday Life newspaper.

When I saw that in amongst issues of the long-since gone Proserpine Guardian, it put into perspective what our paper means to people.

To become an integral part of people’s lives here when they read our paper each week, and a part of its history - that is a feeling I can’t express. Thank you.

Inthis week’s Good Deed Feed our local Whitsunday member, Amanda Camm MP, is encouraging others to volunteer their time at Proser pine Meals on Wheels.

This vital local service has been struggling to find volunteers since COVID and they are cur rently operating with a team of just 21 people.

This means that the staff that kindly donate their time are having to work longer hours to ensure the needs of the com munity are met.

FEDERAL BUDGET AXES

DAM

million project that has been over 20 years in the mak ing and was forecast to deliv er water security for our region, has been axed following the Federal Bud get which was announced on Tuesday night.

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox says he is disappointed to see the Urannah Dam project on the chop ping block.

“Urannah Dam is planned and ready to go. It’s a dam shame,” Mr Willcox said.

“It was the only dam that has been through Infrastructure Australia and has private equity partners ready to go.

“Urannah Dam ticks all the boxes, provides water for agriculture, tour ism, mining, and urban use as well as pumped hydro which will put clean, green electricity directly into the north south grid.”

Member for Whitsunday, Amanda Camm, agrees saying that Urannah Dam would have provided a secure wa ter supply.

“This project is one of the most ad vanced in approvals for our State and it’s a deceptive move by the Govern ment to not support this project,” she said.

Meanwhile the Mackay Conservation

Group say they welcome the govern ment’s decision to stop the project.

“This project has the potential to dam age our region’s precious waterways, the Great Barrier Reef and wildlife while returning as little as 26 cents in economic benefits for every dollar it costs,” said Mackay Conservation Group dams campaigner, Imogen Lin denberg.

“The water from the Urannah Dam will be used to wash coal but the industry in our region has a limited lifespan.

“Without demand from coal, this dam will become a stranded asset in decades to come, costing taxpayers even more money.”

Meanwhile, the state government re cently announced a new pumped hy dro project in the Pioneer Valley, just north of Mackay.

While it is set to supply 50 per cent of the state’s renewable electricity, it will also displace local residents with the need to remove 50 houses in a small rural area called Netherdale.

Mr Willcox suspects the hydro project is an unsubstantiated decoy.

“Labor’s Pioneer-Burdekin Project is nothing more than a thought bubble that is set to wipe out local homes,” he said.

First Labor Budget Delivered In 10 Years

Treasurer

Jim Chalmers announced this years’ Federal Budget on Tues day night, aiming to address cost of living issues in a number of ways.

Promising to build one million new homes, increase paid parental leave to 26 weeks, provide cheaper prescription medicines and an additional $4.6 billion boost to childcare subsidies, the new budget will undoubtedly make a big impact on living costs around the country.

Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox, however, says he is concerned that there is not enough set aside for his electorate which spans from Mackay to Townsville and includes all of the Whitsundays.

“Prime Minister Anthony Albanese prom ised if he won government, there would be “no one held back, no one left behind”,” he said.

“In Labor’s first Budget, 30 per cent of Aus tralians who live in regional and rural ar eas, including Dawson have been held back and left behind.”

Expecting drastic increases in grocery bills, Mr Willcox states that the average fami ly would be worse off by at least $2000 by Christmas.

“Groceries are eight per cent higher, not just because of natural disasters, but also because of Labor’s foolish political decision to scrap our Ag Visa,” he said.

“Supply has been slashed because farmers and processors are only working at around 60 per cent capacity, which has put upward pressure at the checkout for families in Dawson.

“Retail electricity prices are predicted to go up by 50 per cent, while the $275 promised by Labor to reduce electricity bills is now gone.”

SNAPSHOT

• 1 million new homes built

• Paid parental leave increased

• Cheaper medicine available

• Bigger childcare subsidies

• Tax rates flattened to 30 per cent for people earning between $45,000 and $200,000

Vessel Burns In Hamilton Island Marina

Bonza Blazes Our Way

“We can’t wait to get notification from Bonza when the official date will be,” he said.

Aluxury

yacht moored at Hamilton Island Marina was ablaze for more than seven hours on Monday, Oc tober 24.

The 25-metre Sunseeker 82 yacht began billowing smoke and flames just before 11am taking emergency services until af ter 6pm that night to quell them, when the vessel began to finally sink.

No persons were onboard when the fire began, and the cause is now under inves tigation.

Paramedics remained at the scene due to reports that members of the small island community were heading to the marina to look at the blaze before suffering from smoke inhalation.

Whitsunday Volunteer Marine Rescue

President Mal Priday said resident fire fighters on Hamilton Island fought the blaze all day and his vessels were tasked with transporting relief Queensland Fire Service crews to the island from Airlie Beach.

“We arrived there about half-past five

and it had been burning already for seven hours – a large amount of smoke could be seen well before we arrived at Hamilton Is land,” Mr Priday said.

“After seven hours there were still flames coming out; some of the flames were three to five metres high.”

Mr Priday said, although investigations into the cause were still pending, firefight ers were of the belief that the fire had start ed in the ship’s bow.

“When we arrived, the boat had sunk at the back. That was part of the problem for the firefighters: they couldn’t get at it be cause of the small portholes and windows, so they just decided to monitor it over night.”

Volunteer Marine Rescue left the scene at roughly 8:00pm and the bow was still out of the water at an angle, leaning to the star board, smoking and alight.

Neighbouring boats in the marina report ed damage from smoke and heat, mostly those downwind of the 30 knot conditions.

Newbudget airline, Bonza, is gear ing up for take-off following a series of test flights which took place over Whitsunday airspace earlier this week.

The Sunshine Coast based airline, which had postponed launch dates due to de layed delivery of its brand-new planes from America, is now taking to the skies with the latest test flights an in dication that the official launch is im minent.

The next stage in the process is the final tick from Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

Whitsunday Regional Council Chief Operating Officer of Aviation and Tourism, Craig Turner, said that he is excited to welcome Bonza Airlines soon.

“We promise them a huge welcome to the Whitsundays when they arrive and look forward to an ongoing partnership.”

Why Build Storage Sheds When We Need Houses?

This is the question a local couple are asking following news that the land in front of their house is currently being re-zoned to accommodate 550 stor age sheds.

Robin Weaver and his wife came to the Whitsundays two and a half years ago, moving into the property they had bought in 2018 with the knowledge that the ad jacent 3.8-acre vacant lot was zoned for low-medium residential development.

When this site, located at 82 Shute Har bour Road, sold for a million dollars three years ago, Robin believed that eventually a developer would put residential houses on-site.

That was until he saw a sign go up stating there had been an application to ‘Recon figure the Lot’ with a ‘Material Change of Use’ development application submitted to Council detailing plans for a storage shed complex.

“We are all very aware of the acute short age of residential accommodation in Airlie Beach and Cannonvale,” he said.

“A 3.8 acre, almost flat block of land on the main road, offers the opportunity for the lowest cost development of such land,

for whatever purpose, including that for which it is currently zoned - residential accommodation!

“This is prime residential land and should not be wasted for such an unnecessary, unsightly, unpleasant and unwelcome project.”

The storage shed complex will extend 175 metres along Shute Harbour Road and will be brightly coloured, it will also have a tall boundary chain-link fence and bright se curity lights.

Mr Weaver believes this is an inappropri ate use of the site and that it will impact on the liveability if the area.

With two industrial estates located in Can nonvale, he asserts that there are other via ble options that would be more in keeping with the surrounding zoning.

Appealing for other residents to take ac tion against this development, Mr Weaver has taken the time to examine the devel opment application set before Council and analyse, what he believes, are inaccuracies.

He is now posting his findings to sur rounding neighbours hoping to gather further support.

Brunker Still Serves The

last week’s edition of Whitsun day Life Newspaper we printed a story which stated that Council lor Mike Brunker would be ‘leaving the region’ to work a new full-time position in the mines while still re taining his role as Councillor.

Following a conversation with Cr Brunker we have now been made aware that he is in fact working at a Collinsville mine and therefore stay ing within the region.

“I will still have access to phones and emails after work,” he said.

“I’ve also arranged my swing so that I’ll be able to attend every Council meeting, it was part of the condition of taking the job.”

Cr Brunker is a fourth-generation miner, in fact his father is the only still-living survivor of the 1954 Col linsville mining disaster.

“I started working in the mines when I was a kid,” said Cr Brunker.

“After 25 years working in an office environment, now it’s time to be back into the workforce – I am sure this will give me a new outlook on life.”

Local Airport Simulates Emergency Situation

Whitsunday

Coast Airport prac

ticed a real-life response to a plane crash earlier this week with over 60 volunteers and emergency personnel taking part in the enactment.

Using a bus to act as a plane, the premise saw an ‘aircraft’ come off the runway and clip its wing following high winds at the point of landing.

Volunteers were given fake injuries that needed attending to and a sea of emergency personnel all worked together to rescue in jured passengers, ensure the scene was safe and manage the airport during the event.

Whitsunday Regional Council Chief Op erating Officer of Aviation and Tourism, Craig Turner, said that while this occur rence is extremely unlikely, it was really beneficial for the team to ensure best work ing processes were in place.

“It was fantastic to see the communication between all the stakeholders in real time,” he said.

“It allowed us to experience a full timeline of events and to identify things that could have been done better.

“We’ve learnt so much and taken on im provements to make sure we stay up to speed.”

These improvements include the purchase of new powerful radios that ensure com munication is clear and also the placing of dedicated emergency packs with checklists

at all control stations.

The Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting Ser vice, Queensland Police Force and the State Emergency Service were all present on the day as well as ground handlers and the air

port safety team who all worked together to provide an efficient and seamless response to the emergency simulation.

Headspace Opens Doors For Dignity

Local mental health service, head space, is contributing to the well being of young people in the Whit sundays by providing a range of essential items to those doing it tough.

By working with national charity, Share the Dignity, who partner with 3000 other Australian charities, they are a distribu tor of free sanitary items for women and girls.

Looking after young people, headspace Whitsundays, invites anyone from the age of 12 to 25 to come into their clinic at 41 Main Street in Proserpine to have a friendly conversation and receive a per sonal hygiene pack.

Shiraz Lakey from headspace has been packing bags all week and says she has lots of supplies.

“We are really grateful to Share the Digni ty,” she said.

“Through them we have more opportunity to help local youth and spark a conversa tion about mental health.”

With more than just sanitary items, head space’s care packs are full of other products such as underwear, shampoo and condi tioner, soap, hair clips, loofas, tissues and wipes.

The team would also like to reach out to residents and appeal for donations for

personal products for young men and any other items that could benefit youth doing it tough.

Headspace is open from Monday to Wednesday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, and is a free mental health service that is dedicated to helping young people.

“We have lots of stock on hand,” said Shi raz.

“We’d love you to come in, get anything you need and have a chat with our friendly team.”

A Jamboree On The Internet?

Proserpine State High Celebrates Achievers

Forthe first time since 2019, the whole of Proserpine State High School (both juniors and seniors) gathered together for their annual Awards Night last Wednesday.

More than 600 family members also attended the evening which celebrated a range of achieve ments from students who ex celled at pursuits that included sporting activities, leadership, innovation and cultural contri bution.

Millions of Scouts from across the globe came together for an October weekend jamboree of gigantic pro portions - but not in person – in stead, clubs like Proserpine Scout Group embraced the digital age.

At the annual JOTA-JOTI (Jam boree On The Air and Jamboree On The Internet) scouts from 171 countries participated in the world’s largest digital Scout week end.

Held every year in October, the event connects millions of young people from almost every country on earth for a full weekend pro moting communication, friend ship, and global citizenship.

The weekend is broken up into two sections: JOTA and JOTI.

In JOTI, Scouts worldwide log into a closed internet server to chat to each other about how different their world’s may be, as well as have a chance to play Minecraft together.

Proserpine Scouts Qualified Cub Leader Sally Griffith said two pa trols from Proserpine’s Cubs and Joeys, spoke with Scouts from as far afield as Indonesia and parts of America.

“It makes the youth realise how big the world is,” Ms Griffith said.

“We explain on regular Tues day night meetings that Scouts is

worldwide, how many kids are in it, but until they chat to a Joey in Indonesia, Fiji, or even to another cub in Sydney, they don’t realise how massive it is.”

For the JOTA portion of the jam boree, Scouts head on a more tra ditional adventure, going south to Farleigh at the Hibiscus Coast Dis trict Scout Park where they camp, enjoy radio centred activities, and learn Scout values.

Ms Griffith said activities for JOTA include the use of GPS navigation, where one group is directed by an other via radio in a scavenger hunt style event.

“To see them use a radio for the first time and become comfortable with it was really cool,” she said.

“The awesome thing about this camp is those JOTA activities, but also when they’re completed, then we have the rest of the weekend to entertain the kids and get them to do so many different things they wouldn’t normally get to do.

“They might take part in cooking for badge work, bushwalking, even just setting up tents and learning the buddy system – things they might not get to do.

“Even though this is a technology style camp, it still gets the kids off technology and teaches them the skills they need to be successful Scouts.”

$1.2 Billion Plan To Protect Reef Gains More Support

TheFederal government has prom ised an additional $204 million towards protection of the Great Barrier Reef, upping its total spend on the world wonder to $1.2 billion.

Minister For Environment and Water Tan ya Plibersek outlined the government’s vi sion for the future of the Reef last week in a joint statement with special envoy for the Great Barrier Reef, Nita Green.

That vision highlighted much of the work already being done through the Reef 2050 plan, as well as what the additional fund ing would address.

The $204 million is set to fund immediate action, tightening critical gaps in the longterm sustainability plan of the government major Reef 2050 project and speeding up reef protection activities.

Much was spoken of replanting efforts in parts of the reef with new corals, catch

ment restoration, working with fisheries and a new research centre in Gladstone.

“Together, we hope these measures can start to turn around the health of the reef, it is still a beautiful wonder of the world,” The environment minister said to the ABC.

“We’ve got a little breathing space in the last couple of years; we’ve seen some of those corals come back because we’ve had cooler weather and we need to build on that to protect.

Ms Plibersek said the funding will protect the reef itself as well as river systems and animals that are part of its wider ecosys tem.

Alongside Queensland government, the newly announced funding tallies Austra lia’s total reef investment to more than $4.4bn from 2014-15 to 2029-30.

Staff Shortages Solved With DAMA

Many local businesses are strug gling to find staff or operating understaffed - one Airlie Beach cafe even had a sign up saying ‘sorry we’re shut, no chef’.

In an effort to help, the Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) is work ing to establish a new approach to solving staff shortages.

This innovative government scheme called a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) would allow lower skilled over seas workers to come to live and work in the Whitsunday, Mackay and Isaac Re gions.

The DAMA gives overseas workers the opportunity to pursue permanent resi dency through a five-year program which includes training at TAFE while working full-time and contributing to ease the strain on local small business.

Gus Walsgott from WCCC said that there are currently DAMAs in operation in both Townsville and Cairns which is effectively “sucking the workforce” out of the Whit sundays.

“We are at a competitive disadvantage at the moment,” said Mr Walsgott.

“The DAMA is set-up purely for the ben efit of the business community as a whole and it will have flow-on effects for the rest of the region.”

The reason our region currently does not have a DAMA is because we had previous ly been without a Designated Area Repre sentative (DAR), but now that the WCCC have stepped forward, we can expect to become a classified DAMA within the next six months.

This classification will open up many doors for our region and Martin O’Dee from Speedy Global, discussed the ad vantages at an information night for local businesses last week.

“It’s all about helping people with their life journey,” he said.

“It’s not just about bringing a work force – it’s about providing a system that means people will want to stay, contribute to our communities, raise families and build lives in the region.”

In order to become a DAMA, the WCCC need to gather 100 completed surveys from local businesses.

The surveys take four minutes to complete, and they are an opportunity for businesses to put forward the type of position they are lacking.

There are limited types of roles that will be included under the DAMA so if you want a certain position filled, make sure you fill in a survey so that the specific role is cov ered.

“We are the vehicle to get us to the end game, but there needs to be a lot of mo mentum to get us there,” said Mr Walsgott. “It needs to be driven by the business com munity.”

There are strict criteria for qualifying for an overseas worker, most importantly that the role has been offered to Australians looking for employment and that it cannot be filled by an Australian first.

Potential Mountain Bike Trails For Whitsundays

Awish-list item for Whitsunday mountain bik ers could finally be on the cards as a local club announced its plans to develop a “worldclass mountain biking” course alongside local developers.

Whitsunday Mountain Bike Club Inc. have lodged a development application to Whit sunday Regional Coun cil for a staged development network of mountain bike trails at Hidden Valley – a large-scale rural residential community development in Mount Marlow.

The housing development site along Rifle Range Road – eight minutes from Airlie Beach – is hoping to host a mix of green, blue and black difficulty rated trails, ac cording to the lodgement application.

The construction would be an “exclusive” set of trails which will initially only be ac cessible by current Whitsunday Mountain Bike Club members.

Home to what local riders have explained as “great elevations and terrain”, the Mount Marlow locale has been lauded with the potential of being one of the best moun tain bike holiday locations in the country.

The local developers of Hidden Valley Whitsundays said there has been extensive work between the land’s Traditional Own ers, environmental consultants and both council and the Mountain Bike Club.

A developer at Hidden Valley Whitsun days, Brett Evans, said the development has held the land for more than two de cades and the mountain bike tracks are a part of its “bigger picture.”

“This is another aspect to that site where there’s a master plan there that will bring mainland tourism to the Whitsundays,” Mr Evans said.

“We know people come to the Whitsun days and promise things all the time, so we’ve been quiet about this and there’ll be more details to come after Christmas.”

The Employee Engagement Slump!

Sale

What’s going on and what are you doing about it!

After more than 30 years, the own ers of the Dingo Beach Hotel are selling the business and handing over the reins so they can enjoy retirement and take time to “smell the roses”.

After trending up in recent years, employ ee engagement saw its first annual decline in a decade -- dropping from 36% engaged employees in 2020 to 34% in 2021.

Tony Sellers first fell in love with Dingo Beach over 40 years ago when he bought a house in the area, and it was ten years later that he took over the hotel, purchasing the building from the Yuskan and O’Connor families.

Engaged employees are involved, enthusi astic, emotionally connected to your busi ness and stay longer. Disengaged employ ees are disgruntled and disloyal because their workplace needs are unmet.

With absolute beach frontage and a charming, uniquely ‘Australian’ feel, the property has become an iconic landmark for both visitors and locals alike.

Employee engagement is pivotal to im proving the wellbeing and resilience of a workforce because it contains elements of communication, caring, development, involvement, and collaboration. These set the stage for building & strengthening trust.

A Financial Planner

Which is the best super fund?

Financial Planner At Any Age?

Many people think Finan cial Planners are only for retirees. Whilst con verting that hard saved nest egg to a good, long lasting secure income stream is prime time for financial advice, there are other times in our lives that are important as well.

Modern Financial Planners aren’t just all about retirees, we can also provide advice to younger people on:

• Budgeting, cash flow and how to manage their money.

Mostpeople have re ceived their annual super statement to 30th June 2022 in the last few months. Most returns have been negative for the last 12 months on the back of high er inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions around the world. This often leads to people questioning if they’ve got the right fund. There are three main types of super fund, Industry Super Funds, Retail Super Funds and Self-Managed Super Funds.

• Life insurance and income pro tection to ensure the families fu ture.

Over the years Tony and his wife Robyn have leased the businesses and also operat ed it themselves for some of the time.

Currently the pub and the coffee shop are under lease.

Since work and life are blended for many employees, consider the demands of life inside and out of the workplace. Consider how career, social, financial, physical and community wellbeing affect employees, and provide resources designed to im prove these important elements of wellbe ing.

Major renovations have been made to the hotel over the years and Tony said the business is in great shape and he will be sad to see it go.

Tailor communication to reach teams where they are

• Plans to accelerate home loan re payment with offset and redraw.

• Checking on existing super funds and ensuring you’re in the right investment choice and that you’re doing some smart little things with your super.

Industry Super Funds offer a low cost, pooled option with limited investment and in surance options. They are a simple option and due to the pooled nature of their invest ment choices, many Financial Planners use this style of fund for their younger, lower bal ance clients. There are other types of more sophisticated super accounts including Retail Funds and Self-Managed Super Funds.

Famous for its bare-foot lifestyle, icy cold beers, live music and regular community events, the fully licenced hotel boasts eight two-bedroom fully self-contained and air-conditioned units that look out over

What can you do?

Although there has been an overall de crease in employee engagement, some organisations have doubled employee en gagement. Here’s what they do differently;

Create a strong culture, values & behaviour framework to guide business decisions

Employees need to see the culture and values lived out daily. The most successful organisations put their values at the centre of decisions and create behaviour frame works which display & solidify their val ues.

Embrace flexible work environ ments

Hours, location, priorities, hybrid work forces, and roles. Flexibility can take on different meanings – how are you creating flexibility for your workforce?

“It’s a good lifestyle up here – the people are really friendly and welcoming,” he said.

Transparent and authentic communica tion is called for in the workplace. Tailor communication to suit teams, individu als and personality types. Ask what your teams prefer for their comms platforms.

“You can’t get a better spot than Dingo Beach! Over the years we’ve enjoyed the company of good people and had some funny times.”

Empower managers to manage through times of change

Consistently upskill managers to coach their employees through their strengths. Every person has a different work-life situation, and only managers can under stand these nuances and make adjust ments based on how each individual best performs, collaborates and brings value to customers.

How can Shiift help you? Our strength

creating great people & great teams. Let’s make it yours too!

• Helping with big decisions like whether to buy a rental property or not by pro jecting out where your super and cur rent wealth building plans will put you when you reach your sixties and what your retirement will look like after that.

Clients just before retirement and in those active years in the first half of retirement have a lot going on as they top up and re organise their super, start their pensions, ensure they get the delicate balance be tween high returns and protecting them selves against the inevitable downturn and look to maximize any part Age Pension entitlements.

Retail Super Funds are where you decide to purchase a fund from a product pro vider. Modern retail Super Wrap offerings have thousands of investment choices with a wide choice of risk and return and your account is separate to all other members. Care and guidance need to be taken to en sure your portfolio of investments is well diversified with such a huge choice. This choice enables your portfolio to be cus tomized to say protect against downturns if you are drawing a pension or to screen out investments with questionable ethical or environmental credentials if that’s your preference. These may suit people with higher balances or who are making larger contributions and want more control and flexibility around investment options and the potential tax on transferring to pen sion phase within their super.

They need confidence about their financial future to spend and enjoy their hard saved money whilst they can physically enjoy it. This usually requires ongoing meet ings with their Financial Planner on a six monthly or annual basis.

Younger clients and those well into retire ment may not have as much complexity. Often there are periods where it’s head down raising kids and repaying debt or living a simple life in the second, less ac tive phase of retirement.

These clients may only require ongoing meetings with their Financial Planner on a two yearly or longer cycle. They have the comfort of knowing there’s someone who understands their situation to talk to if life or investment markets throw up a curve ball.

Self-Managed Super Funds are where you set up your own super fund, usually with up to 6 other family members so you can pool your funds to invest. SMSF’s offer the most investment choices and flexi bility but are expensive. The ATO sug gests the minimum balance to justify the set up and ongoing costs with a SMSF is $500,000.

A Pink Ribbon Day For Bowen

PCYC Gymnasts See From A New Perspective

Local gymnasts at PCYC Bowen have been enjoying the use of new GoPro video cameras which are allowing them to review their flips and better their skills.

A suite of GoPRos purchased with funds from a QCoal Foundation Community Spirit Grant are being utilised to enhance multiple programs at the club, including during gymnastic lessons as well as doc umenting the work of the club’s R.U.B.Y Crew at its skating facility.

PCYC Branch Manager and Police Ser geant Michelle O’Regan said the GoPros had been “wish list items” that were always getting set-back on the list of priority pur chases for the club.

“We saw an opportunity in our gymnastics class for our students to see their progress,” Sergeant O’Regan said.

able to record the work they’re doing.”

PCYC gymnastics head coach, Beau Brooker said the GoPros have already proven a fantastic resource.

“To show the students what they’re doing when they’re in the air particularly, be cause you’re not always cognitively aware of where your body is, watching that back is extremely useful,” Mr Brooker said.

“It’s also been an excellent tool for pro motion: we’ve already seen interest in our circus workshops because of the promos we’ve got from the GoPros.”

Sergeant O’Regan said the next step was rigging televisions on brackets around the PCYC to play looped videos of students for promotion, as well as the potential for instant feedback during lessons.

Alocal communi ty organisation began their fund and awareness raising campaign for women’s cancer and its research on Wednesday morning.

Bowen-based service Stella Life Care invited women of all ages to a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea in collaboration with the Cancer Council’s month dedicated to breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers.

The business decked out its Herbert Street premises in pink for the day with 20 local ladies purchasing tickets with those funds heading back to Cancer Council.

Stella Life Care provided the ladies with pink cupcakes cooked by Purple Rain Des erts, and set up a generous raffle of prizes, each of which was donated by Whitsunday businesses.

The raffle will be running throughout No vember, with Stella Life Care hosting stalls at places like Bowen IGA, Woolworths Plaza, and more. The prizes included items like a Whitsunday Jet Ski tour, Horseshoe Bay Café vouchers, a mystery box, and more, totalling roughly $1000.

Local Robyn Burrell, whose husband is a cancer survivor, said it was incredible to see so many people having conversations about getting checked for cancer.

“Cancer has touched a lot of family. To see women talking about it, it’s excellent and so important,” she said.

“Students can be coached, but they’re not able to see how they move and GoPros are a good way to remedy that. They can help them perfect their skills and track their progress throughout the term.

“Now thanks to QCoal, that’s something that we can realise with our gymnastics classes, as well as our R.U.B.Y Crew being

Mental Health Week Event A First-Time Success

Inan inaugural community event, a Bowen-based mental health hub in vited locals to a day promoting mental wellbeing through information, activity, and fun.

For National Mental Health Week, select ability Bowen collaborated with organ isations from across the northernmost Whitsunday town, bringing awareness to its community about the valuable services on offer.

Representatives from Trapp, Feros Care, local business wellness coaches, Stella Life Care, Real Mates Talk, Bowen PCYC, and more held stalls on the day, highlighting the interconnectivity of Bowen’s vital or ganisations.

selectability Regional Coordinator Luana Land said the day was a huge success, with over 150 community members attending.

“I don’t even know how to put it into words how proud I was of the event. Even if we helped one person find a service, that makes the whole day worth it,” Ms Land said.

“Having a big, fun day and aligning that with Mental Health and Suicide Preven tion information is something we aspire to. We wanted to help people be aware of that; to show them there are things out there and a lot of organisations locally that can help.”

The event at the Bowen Sound Shell was

supported by Local Drug Action Team’s (LDAT) Community Action Plan Stronger Together, with funding supplied through the LDAT and The Drug Alcohol Foun dation to provide a children’s play area, as well as catering.

Ms Land said the day received excellent feedback, and it is planned as an annual event each year.

“The response we saw and heard the most was about loneliness and having commu nity events like this is a way we can com bat that and it is what the people of Bowen were asking for,” she said.

“We will be making it even bigger and bet ter next year.”

Locals and Bowen organisations – including emergency services - came together for a Mental Health Week event hosted by selectability

History Brought Back

Merinda

State School students

travelled back in time on Thurs day last week when they joined the Bowen Mural Society outside Le Sorelle, The Three Sisters Café.

The school children visited the re-painted Merinda School Mural on the side of the building in Bowen, which once again de picts their school’s past in vibrant colour.

Artist Martin Jegou of Gwada Murals gave the Merinda School mural “a new lease on life” and a new coat of paint over the month of September.

“To go over someone else’s work, that is a first for me, and it’s very rewarding to see all these students here enjoying it,” Mr Jegou said.

Business Manager at Merinda State School, Sarah Groves said the mural retouching came at a perfect time with the school set to mark its 125th year in 2023.

“Something like this is incredibly im portant in celebrating the history of our school,” she said.

“It’s exciting, especially for the kids to see how the school has changed and how dif ferent everything was; it is so important for us to highlight that history and that culture.”

Bowen Mural Society Spokesperson

Heather Skinner said it was excellent to see students appreciating the painting and made all their fundraising work worth while.

“That’s a memory these students will have forever,” Ms Skinner said.

Bowen Mural Society are now fundrais ing for the retouching of a mural on the wall of the Bowen Hotel which depicts the Denison Hotel, with plans for Mr Jegou to complete the restoring.

Together We Sing For Mental Health

of Queensland Mental Health Week, schools and community groups across the state

Queens Beach State School in Bowen took part in the Together Sing Music For Well being awareness raising event, harmon ising 370 of its students voices in a song composed for the occasion last Friday, Oc tober 21.

Performing the song ‘Where We Begin’which was commissioned by Queensland Mental Health Commission and Kodaly Music Education Institute of Australia’s Queensland Branch - the local school en joyed “the benefits of singing together for mental health week.”

Queens Beach State School music teacher Sylvia Kaklamanis spearheaded the Bow en iteration of the state-wide music educa tion program.

The song was composed by Australian Composer Slade Gibson and arranged by another Australian Composer, Will Brown.

A spokesperson for the school said it was a very different activity for many of the stu dents with some of them a little apprehen sive to sing out loud in front of their peers.

“The kids loved it. All the preps through to grade six enjoy the performance and they just couldn’t help but get involved,” she said.

“When the younger students see the old er ones getting involved, they free up and start singing too. And all of the teachers thoroughly enjoyed themselves!”

The event was organised by Education Queensland and was encouraged because of music’s strong link with emotion: music can make us happy, sad, relaxed, or calm. Music can make us feel better.

The Simple Joy Of A Smiling Child

Cooinda Family Centre normally looks after chil dren, but on Wednesday this week the Bowen institution invited seniors into its fold.

For Queensland Senior’s Month, Cooinda Family Centre organ ised two morning teas for elderly people to interact with the cen tre’s young children – bringing to gether generations who can often seem so far apart.

The month’s activities in Bowen were focused on celebrating the important and essential roles old er people play in local communi ties.

“It’s about doing what should be normal: learning from our older generations and realising their importance,” Bowen Neighbour hood Centre Coordinator Steph anie Cora said.

“Bringing children together with their grandparents, the commu nity’s elderly, it’s just as important as teaching children their school lessons.”

Organisations across Bowen co ordinated to make the morning teas happen: Girudala Com munity Co-Operative Society Ltd, Murroona Gardens Nurs ing Home, Queensland Country Women’s Association’s Bowen Branch, and both Bowen Neigh

bourhood Centre and Cooinda Family Centre.

“With the little ones, they love to interact with the elderly; they gain so much from it,” Coordinator at Bowen Neighbourhood Centre Xena Yasso said.

“It’s a two-way street, when the elder generation interact with the younger, they’re both benefitting from that.”

An attendee at the Senior’s Month Morning Tea, Rosemary Cora said that the benefits of spending time with children were immedi ate.

“You see the smiles on their faces and you can’t help but smile. The joy they get from it, it’s wonderful to see,” Ms Cora said.

“My granddaughter is here to day and she was just so excit ed to spend time with me. It’s heart-warming.”

The Bowen Branch of the Queensland Country Women’s Association catered for the event and were one of the primary driv ing forces behind the morning teas. Ms Cora said they were the “grandparent role for organisa tions in Bowen.”

“They’re incredible. They do that role to perfection in every aspect, and we can’t thank them enough,” she said.

Fraser’s

Dairy: (As remembered by Phil’s wife, Marie)

During the war, Phil Fraser was re leased from the army to assist his parents, Bill and Jane Fraser, in the running of their dairy which was an essential service. Frasers delivered milk around town and out to the Army Camp at Gunyarra. Af ter the war, the dairy was sold to Mr Shaw and Jim Fraser. Another son of Bill, stayed on to work for him. At some time during Fraser’s tenure, people were able to pur chase tokens to put out instead of money to pay for the milk. Local children from that time later recalled playing with these.

Muller’s Dairy

Ron Muller Snr (Snow) started the dairy run circa 1941 when he began deliver ing milk to Dittmer Mines from a farm along the present dam road that his father had purchased from Bill Fraser. When Dittmer Mines began to wind down, the family moved to Crystalbrook and com menced deliveries in the town area. They purchased O’Hara’s Dairy and were al lowed to operate from those premises for about six months.

At first, all milking was done by hand but

the purchase of a three stand Buzzacot Milking Machine allowed them to milk three cows at a time. Cows had to be milked twice a day come rain or shine and the milk either had to be used or tipped down the drain. So it was that, once, when there was a cloud burst at the top of the river and the road was impassable at Neilsen’s crossing, five ten-gallon cans were loaded on an old cane truck that had been left at the siding. It was pushed by manpower along the tramline all the way down to Perske’s farm where Joe, Snow’s uncle, was waiting in his truck. He then drove Snow around town to deliver the milk.

For many years, deliveries were done by horse and cart. Later they used a Morris Ten and finally a Model T Ford. Some times people would be out waiting with a billycan but, at other times, no one would answer the door so they would simply go into the kitchen, find a container and leave the milk.

At the peak of the season, Mullers de livered seventy to eighty gallons of milk but as the year wore on and the season became drier there was not so much milk and it sometimes ran out before the run

was finished. In the afternoon, they would deliver to all of the customers who had missed out in the morning.

Snow recalled that he was never able to play sport because milking began every morning at 2am, deliveries continued until about 11am and afternoon milking began again at 2pm.

The Muller family eventually decided to change to beef cattle declaring they were not sad to move on. It would seem that dairying has always been a very demand ing way to earn a living.

The last vendors in the town area were thought to be the Helliers who went from

house to house daily. The advent of bot tled pasteurised milk brought an end this type of business that had served the com munity so faithfully for so many years. After moving from Proserpine, Bert and Dorothy Hellier settled in Laidley South. Their son, George and wife, Alice, pur chased a dairy farm in Laidley Creek West. Two of Bert and Dorothy Hellier’s descendants, their granddaughters, Cindy Hellier-Oliver and Diane Taylor reside in the area. Cindy settled here in 1994 and Diane in 2002.

Concluding our story about dairying in the area…

Cooinda Family Centre in Bowen invited local nursing homes to participate in a series of morning teas for Seniors Month, bringing kids together with a generation they often don’t see

Being a parent doesn’t mean your children will always do as you ask, in fact it often means you find yourself repeating the same request several times before it is even heard, let alone actioned.

There are a few reasons for this, firstly they could be so absorbed in their current activity that they honestly do not hear you. Secondly, if too much time passes, they may have for gotten your request. Or thirdly, they simply don’t want to do what you asked.

Research shows that children under 14 lack peripheral awareness, which means that if they are focused on a toy, book, game, or TV show when you ask them to do something, their brain is tuned into that activity and cannot process that request.

Here are a few helpful tips to get your child to listen to you the first time:

Get their attention

Make eye-contact and touch their arm to ensure they are listening to you

Check for understanding

Make sure they understand the request by asking them to repeat the instruction

Set a timeframe

Decide in your own mind what you want the child to do and the time frame you will accept for their compliance

Watch for Compliance

Instead of going back to what you were do ing, hang around to make sure your request is being actioned

stops car fighting – are

getting in each

and bickering during car journeys? Simply cut a sheet of sturdy

place it between each child

2. Fitted sheet on the beach – take a fitted sheet to the beach and place bags at each of the four corners. This provides a sand-free zone for kids and acts as the perfect playpen for little ones

Is your child unhappy? Strug gling at School? Being bullied? Angry? Acting Out?

Congratulate success

Reinforcing compliance with praise means your child will be more likely to follow a request next time

3. Coffee cup drip tray – did you know that your take-away coffee cup lid can double as a perfect drip tray for your child’s melty ice-cream? Simply turn it upside down and push the ice-cream stick through the mouth section

Support your child with Expe riential Therapy

Give consequences if necessary

Wellbeing groups and 1-on-1 appointments available

If your child does not complete the request, then be prepared to give and follow through with a suitable consequence

It is vital that you stay firm, if they do not comply then there must be a direct conse quence

4. Spray bottle monster killer – are your kids scared of monsters at night? If so, get an empty spray bot tle, make a fun activity of decorating it with your child and then fill with water. Tell them that they can use this during the night to battle any scary monsters

Contact Deb Farlow info@whitsundaykidscounsel ling.com.au 0421 704 840

5. T-shirt keep sake – On your child’s first day of school buy a large t-shirt (that would fit an 18 year old) and get it printed with the year they will

graduate. Then take a photo of them every year on their first day of school for the next 13 years

6. Fan inflated fort – When your kids ask to dismantle your entire lounge to make a fort, simply reach for the fan instead. Get a doona cover and place around a fan on their bed, then turn on. This will put air into the sheet and give them a cool hideaway without messing up your lounge

Black Adam

It’s

funny to think that, in the latter days of the superhero genre, where audiences are becoming more and more fatigued after greater than a de cade’s worth of Marvel and DC Comics films, a Black Adam movie has finally made it to screen.

For those not in the know, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been attached to a Black Adam-type project since 2005, with the movie stuck in this will-theywont-they, development hell. Amongst a large contingent of the movie media –press and commentators, mostly – it be came a running joke. The film was never going to be made.

When an actor is attached to a role for the better part of a decade and a half, the project is almost always destined to fall apart. Yet, somehow, Black Adam man aged to stay together and Johnson has his day in the sun as the DC Comics anti-hero.

It’s been a strange ride, considering at the time of casting, Johnson was better known as The Rock – one of the world’s biggest wrestlers – and now he’s quite literally the world’s biggest movie star.

Johnson is Black Adam, a character who’s been bestowed with almighty powers of

the gods before being imprisoned for 5,000 years and is brought back into the modern day, finding himself as a violent anti-hero fighting for justice.

Seemingly born to be a superhero with his imposing bulk, Johnson has stepped in front of the greenscreen as Black Adam, decked out in Spandex that reminds us of his WWE wrestling ring days. The charac ter he portrays has had an enduring his tory at DC, and there’s not too much of that here; instead, Black Adam’s imposing,

draconian personality is replaced by the Rock’s movie-star charisma – potentially to the detriment of the fuller DC Universe.

In an age of the anti-hero for comic-book movies, Black Adam is a serviceable show ing that has a major draw: The Rock and smashing things.

Black Adam (M) is showing at the Bowen Summergarden Cinema now.

Lily and King A Musical Circus For The Eyes And The Ears

Starting as a guitar/vocals duo, more and more instruments entered the mix over the years, giving Lily’s trombone and toy piano talents an opportunity to shine.

Lily and King is what; a self-proclaimed “carni-junkyard”.

Lily and King are making the trek from Melbourne to Airlie Beach next weekend for their third Airlie Beach Festival of Mu sic and their first major festival since the pandemic.

“I’m so looking forward to walking around town in shorts and thongs and a singlet,” laughed Tony King, who plays guitar and half a drum kit with his feet.

Lily and King formed 15 years ago, almost by accident, when Lisa “Lily” Baird asked then workmate Tony to play guitar on some original songs she had written.

A double bass player in a jazz group at the time, Tony agreed and, 15 years later, Lily and King have crafted a unique sound and infectious performance.

“It was a fairly quirky kind of thing, we gradually added instruments to what we were doing,” said Tony.

“It’s basically a little junkyard play by two people,” Tony said.

A Lily and King set is made up of entire ly original songs written about unusual themes, drawing on elements of folk, blues and jazz.

“It can go from really quiet ballads to fullon folk punk, in your face stuff for dancing and everything in between,” Tony said.

“As soon as Lily gets on that trombone, pretty much everybody’s listening.

“She’s a very demanding player and it’s a fairly dominating instrument.

“The act varies a fair bit depending on where we are and the environment.

“We rarely work with a setlist, we normal ly change things to suit.

“We’ve got so many songs now that we’re pretty adaptable.”

Tony says audiences can expect something out of the ordinary from Lily and King.

Nothing but stars

“It’s as much something for the eye as it is for the ear, just watching how the sounds piece together,” he said.

“We guarantee it’ll be quite unlike any thing they’ve seen before.”

Having played on the festival circuit for the last decade, Tony says he can’t wait to get to Airlie Beach and see friends new and old.

He’s excited to check out all of the other bands playing the festival, namely The An imals.

“I remember when I was first learning how to play guitar, the first song I always want ed to learn was House of the Rising Sun and I couldn’t bloody play the thing and decades later I’m on the same bill as the Animals, which is exciting.”

Least favourite song: “I can’t even think of one … I’ve always been careful not to bag anything. There’s things that I really don’t like for one reason or another but that might be someone else’s cup of tea.”

Favourite song to play: “The Mermaid’s Last Chord. It’s a really slow ballad but it ends up being different every single time we play it.”

“We love the festival vibe and the fact that you can be in one setting and not have to get in your car or take public transport, you can just walk around from one place to the next and eat, drink and see great music.

“That’s the beautiful thing about a festival.

“I think that infects the performers; we go about things with a different mindset.

“We’re pretty keen on getting there, that’s for sure.”

Bring On The Blues With Lloyd Spiegel

One of the lucky few musicians who has been able perform profession ally his whole life, Lloyd Spiegel usually visits 15 countries a year spreading his unique and modern take on Blues to audiences around the world.

For the past few years, however, this Mel bourne-based artist has been largely stuck at home waiting for pandemic restrictions to ease so that he can continue doing what he loves.

“I’ll never take being able to play live mu sic for granted again!” he said.

“This has been the longest I’ve stayed in Melbourne for the past 20 years and now it’s great to be back connecting with audi ences and doing what I love.”

Having just returned from the Nether lands and booked for a gig in Canada in January, Lloyd managed to squeeze Airlie Beach Festival of Music (ABFoM) into his busy calendar this year.

“I’ve been booked [for ABFoM] three times but this is the first time I’ve been able play!” he laughs.

“I’ve gigged in Airlie several times over the years, but this will be the first time I’ve been back in about 15 years.”

Returning with his drummer and trom bonist, Lloyd says music is in his blood and he likes to transcend what people would normally expect from a Blues gig.

Effortlessly CoolEskimo Joe

Since the late 1990s, Eskimo Joe have been a band that defined the sound of the Fremantle mu sic scene. Ahead of their performance at Airlie Beach Festival of Music, lead singer Kav Temperley chatted to Sam about the Western Australia scene, one of the biggest singalongs in Australian music history and his niche connection to Airlie Beach.

We’ve seen a lot of great rock bands come out of WA, what was the scene like as you were coming through and how have you seen it change?

It’s ebbed and flowed in lots of differ ent ways. Perth’s always been one of those places that felt so isolated, we’re really just surrounded by deserts and ocean over here and if you want to go anywhere you’ve got to get on a plane. Perth’s always had that, so this “do-ityourself” attitude has always come out of the bands and the scene.

We had decided, once we put out our first record, that we were going to be a “Perth band”, which wasn’t really a thing back in those days. Generally, if you got any fame, you’d move out of Perth be cause it was just too expensive to fly back and forth, but we decided to stay there. By the time it got to about 2004,

we had a cool little jam room, and we had the only recording set up in town so all of our friends’ bands were hang ing out and, as these bands were doing demos in our back shed, they were get ting signed, bands like End of Fashion, Sleepy Jackson, Little Birdy. All of these bands evolved out of that and that was a really awesome solidifying of the Perth scene for the first time since we first came along. The mid-2000s were an exciting time that bands didn’t have to leave Perth. Then, in that time, bands like John Butler came up and fast for ward to the 2010s, bands like Tame Impala and San Cisco came up and all started to call Fremantle and Perth home.

How has your approach to writ ing a song changed over time?

The fundamentals always apply. You go into a room, you try and create a song to the best of your abilities, but it’s really not until you get to the workshopping of that song. You write the vague verse and chorus, but the workshopping is where those things change. In Esky’s, through those periods of ‘A Song Is a City’ and ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’, it was re ally literally me on an acoustic guitar, writing most of the song, and then we’d turn that into an Eskimo Joe song. The way that it works now and the nature of how people want to be satisfied cre

atively, we tend to leave a little bit more open before we get into a room togeth er, so we’ll have ideas, but we won’t have fully formed ideas. Now it’s generally myself and Joel (Quartermain) sitting down in a room, starting a song from scratch and that’s how the last couple of Esky songs we put out were written.

‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’ has become almost an anthem, what was it like to see so many people take to the song like that?

It was pretty magical. When we first wrote that song, I had the initial idea and I called up Joel and by the end of that day we had the first demo of that song. You kind of know when you dis cover a new idea and there was some thing to that song. It felt really effortless, but it also signalled this new sound that we hadn’t gone down before. We, at that point in time, were feeling pretty ambitious. We ambitiously wanted to make a record that was unashamedly, widescreen Australiana. We went into that with the ambition of making a re cord that was going to be a huge album. By the time we recorded that song, we knew it was going to do as well as it was going to do.

Has it ever become a song that you get tired of playing or hear ing about?

With songs like ‘From the Sea’ and ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’, I think they’re good songs and I enjoy play ing them still. I don’t ever get sick of them. The energy that we get back off the crowd every time we play them, ev eryone will sing the first line of the song back at you, that never gets old, that is an amazing feeling. We appreciate every moment of it.

How excited are you to come over to Airlie Beach for the Fes tival of Music?

It’s going to be awesome. There’s a bunch of other bands we’re looking forward to seeing, as well. Its just such a pleasure to go out and play live music again be cause we’ve not had it for the last couple of years, so to go out there, reconnect with the fanbase and crowds who have desperately wanted to see some proper music again is just so much fun wherev er that may be, but Airlie Beach is such a beautiful location that it’s going to be a huge pleasure. It’s also where I started to write the beginnings of the song ‘Lon don Bombs’, so I have a bit of a mental attachment to Airlie Beach.

Tiffany Grace Wins Young Talent Comp

After months of anticipation, the Young Whitsundays Got Talent Grand Final took place on Sunday and young songstress, 18-year-old Mackay local Tiffany Grace, took the crown.

Event organiser, Paula Hovey, said that every performer shone on the day, but it was Tiffany’s delivery, stage presence and confidence that really made her stand out from the rest.

“There was really not much between them,” she said.

“It was more confidence and stage expe rience with Tiffany – she had the overall package; she played the guitar and she sung an original track.”

This is the first time in 11 years of per forming live that Tiffany has taken home an accolade and the modest teenager said that she didn’t expect to win.

“I like to play whenever I can, I love get ting experience and sharing my music with people,” she said.

“I’m always very nervous but when I step onto the stage it feels like I flick a switch.”

Tiffany was born and raised in Mackay and says that she does not come from a musical family although her mum likes to sing but not in public.

She took her first singing lesson at six and has since discovered a passion for sharing her music with others.

Tiffany played ‘Lover’ by Taylor Swift on the day and also her original track ‘Per fectly Imperfect’.

“The song is based on past experiences where people would judge me for small things,” said Tiffany.

“It would really affect me but then I real ised those are all the things that make me who I am, and they all need to work on being the best versions of themselves.”

For winning first place, Tiffany will receive a full make-over with hair and make-up followed by a photo shoot.

She will also get to experience backstage at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music.

All the finalists will perform live on the Fish Jam stage at the festival as well.

“I would like to say thank you to the or ganisers for the opportunity and also to the other contestants, they were amazing and they should keep it up!” said Tiffany.

Close runners up on the day were band MYNVY, followed by soloist Dominik, who is also the lead singer of MYNVY.

Meet Matty Rogers

Sixth time Airlie Beach Festival of Music vet

eran, Matty Rogers is back by popular demand and ready to carve up the main stage – this year marking the first time he is bringing his band along too!

Based in Burringbar in the Northern Rivers of NSW, this blues, soul and coun try singer says he likes to “weave a path in between genres” and that each song is more about “meaning” than it is conforming to a certain style.

“I don’t like to get stuck in a box,” said Matty.

“I play loads of different genres and they all come from emotion and connection –the challenges we might face personally and also as a global society.”

Matty began playing music with his father when he was a child and by high school he was playing with friends, starting his first band ‘Ramjet’ when he was 17.

Writing his own lyrics and playing origi nal music whenever he could, Matty soon began carving a name out for himself.

“I was lucky that the first gig where I played all originals went really well,” he explained.

“I owe everything to that gig – it gave me the confidence to keep writing and forging a career playing originals when everyone else played covers.”

Matty spent 10 years playing gigs part time and earning an extra income in the construction trade as a labourer and land scaper.

For the past eight years, however, he has

been playing gigs full-time, sharing music with audiences throughout the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast.

He has a wife called Cedar and a young boy called Riley.

Next weekend Matty will be playing on the main stage at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music and also some of the venues across town.

He brings with him a drummer, bass play er and organ player to complete the band.

Favourite band of all time: Eagles

Least favourite song: Happy Birthday

Favourite song to play: Tennessee Whisky as a cover and Walk to the Water as an original

Last song you listened to: Something by Lauren Kate

Matty Rogers and his band are appearing live at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music next weekend

CRICKET

With

Proserpine Cricket Club’s Juniors Pitbulls un der 11 side having a bye last weekend, the club took the oppor tunity to blood some young guns in its under 12s.

Under 12s Proserpine versus Brothers: Noah was the captain this week and unfortunately lost the bat flip, which proved crucial in the outcome of the game.

The weather was hot and steamy with the new ball swinging and skid ding-on, making batting difficult ear ly, and Pitbulls put in a respectable 48, considering the conditions - which was always going to be a hard target to defend.

The grounds were drying out as the morning went on and it didn’t come out the young Pitbulls day in the end - but they should take a lot of lessons out of that game. Congratulations to Matty, who was the players player, re tiring not out 5, 2 great overs and then kept wickets after drinks to give Alex a bowl.

Under 13s Proserpine versus Pioneer Valley: The Pitbulls, with J Rock as captain, lost the toss and were sent into bat with a wet outfield, but with the sun shining.

The Pitbulls put in an impressive 117

runs to defend, and their U13’s ac curate bowling and good out fielding proved the difference: all out for 79 runs.

Bowling wise, it was a team effort, with the wickets being shared J Rock 2-13, B Hope 3 overs 1-5, J Lawn 1-9, O Seamer 1-4 and A Farley 1-12.

B. Hope was named man of the match with a great all-round effort with the ball.

Under 15s Proserpine vs Pioneer Val ley: Captain Ben Valmadre saw prom ise in grabbing the willow to post a score and defend the total.

The side posted 8-137, falling short of the planned 150, but defendable, nonetheless.

After weathering the Pioneer Valley attack, the Pitbulls were keen to have their turn with the leather, and the eager side finished their 25 overs, top pling the strong Panthers side who fell short at 7-108.

Special thanks to the massive effort from Craig and Mark Valmadre who covered all the pitches before the rains to make sure the cricket was on.

are the solution, according to the local group.

Signalling devices are compulsory for all boats operating between sunset and sunrise – whether they be a torch, fluorescent light, lantern or cy alume stick – all are suitable as long as they gen erate enough light to be seen by other boats and prevent a collision and attract attention.

Other distress signals – aside from compulsory radios on board all vessels - include marine ra dio broadcast, flares, signal mirror, V sheet and sound signal.

Vessels in the vicinity of a signalling boat must

On The Water

TwilightRace: As the boats left the marina for last Wednesday’s weekly twilight race, they were greeted by a 15 knot north easterly breeze, which sub sequently dropped to 10 knots by the time the race commenced.

A total of 22 boats and 124 crew faced the start boat for a few laps of the 1.5 nautical mile course.

Division Two saw seven boats in their fleet, with Reignition (Charles Wallis) leading, but the conditions ideally suited Smooth Criminal (Leo Rodriguez) as they powered to the front of the fleet by the time they reached the first rounding mark.

Beach will be “safer for all waterway users” ac cording to Maritime Safe ty Queensland (MSQ) after the announcement of a new six-knot speed limit for the area.

Maritime Safety Queensland Gen eral Manager Kell Dillon said the introduction of the reduced speed limit was an effort to improve safety, a decision which “received strong public support.”

“The waters around Airlie Beach are busy and often congested with recreational and commercial craft of many kinds, including tourism and live-aboard vessels, as well as swimmers and passive craft,” Mr Dillon said.

“While a speed limit of six knots already applied in the two marinas and their lead entrances, there had been many minor collisions and near-miss incidents around the nearby mooring grids.

“MSQ had also received many complaints from owners of moored and anchored craft about moto

rised craft endangering their safe ty by passing too close at excessive speed.

“MSQ considered it was only a matter of time before a serious in cident occurred.”

Mr Dillon said MSQ had conduct ed extensive public consultation over six months on options to im prove safety.

He said this outcome provides clar ity for the local and visiting boating communities.

“[This change is] easier to enforce and will reduce the potential for collisions between vessels and damage or injuries caused by vessel wash,” he said.

MSQ estimates that extending the six-knot speed limit into the moor ing zones will mean, at most, four minutes of extra time.

“An extra four minutes, when weighed against the likely safety benefits, is a compromise any re sponsible skipper would support,” Mr Dillon said.

Race Two saw the boats finishing in the same order, however corrected time re sults were quite different. This time Ala baster took the win from Norbert G and Overdrive.

Overall results saw Norbert G (four poits) take the win from Alabaster (six), on a countback from Lighthorse (six) and Overdrive (six), Smooth Criminal (eight), and Kay Cee (12).
