Hi Everyone,

This week I took a trip down to Mackay and went on a tour of our recycling plant so I could see firsthand where all our recycling goes – it was informative, educational, and also fun!

For the past five years I have been living in an apartment in Cannonvale which is not able to be serviced by yellow bins as the complex does not have the additional space required for them.

There are many apartments like this is the Greater Airl ie Beach area and unless the Body Corp pays to build suit able housing for the yellow bins, then residents either put recycling in general waste, or do what I do, and take it down to the local tip themselves.

This process is time con suming, and I imagine many households simply don’t bother which means so much recycling is becoming unnec essary landfill.

Fortunately, Council have as sured me the new waste plan coming out next year will start addressing the shortfall in this service.

Anyway, back to the recycling plant – did you know that all our recycling is taken straight

schedules; from standard gardening services such as lawn mowing and maintenance, weeding, hedging and pruning; to large-scale garden rejuvenation including landscaping and irrigation.

to Mackay for processing and then turned into a valuable commodity which is on-sold to markets?

Not only is recycling good for our environment it is also making us money because all the proceeds are returned to the Council and in-turn the community.

I think this is great and you can read the full story on page 21.

When we transform our mindset from seeing our household waste as rubbish, to seeing it as a valuable mate rial that can generate money instead, then we can change the way we dispose of our waste.

Every item of general waste costs us money and every item recycled makes us mon ey – you do the maths!

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly” (Anne Marie Bonneau)

NO GESTURE TOO BIG, OR TOO SMALL

Last week in the Good Deed Feed we told the story of a kind stranger who paid someone’s $280 shop ping bill at a local supermarket.

The other customer’s bank card was not working, and the good Samaritan simply reached for ward and used his card to pay the enormous bill saying only: “I got you mate”.

This week we’d like to share a different story which was post ed on local community site, Whitsundays Chat.

It featured another local resi dent who had a similar experi ence, only this time it was with a bunch of bananas.

When this young lady was at the counter of the IGA in Pro serpine, she realised she was $3 short and so put her bananas back on the shelf.

Leaving the store, she thought nothing else of it.

That was until a group of high school kids ran up to her as she

was getting into her car.

“One of the kids ran up to me with the bananas in her hand and gave them to me - they had paid for them - the school kids paid for them!” read her post.

“I felt terrible but also I couldn’t be anymore thankful for this beautiful gesture.

“They did not need to do that at all for me, but they did! I’ll defi nitely return the favour when I see them again - how beautiful of them.

“Thank you again. I love the Whitsundays community.”

The post generated over one thousand likes and dozens of comments.

This story also shows us all that whether you donate a large sum of money, or something as simple as a bunch of bananas, it can have the same ripple effect to both the recipient and to the broader happiness level within our community.

Whitpro’s

The dedicated team at Whitsunday Coast Airport (WCA) is celebrating after being voted the “Best Large Re gional Airport” at the Australian Airports Association Annual Award in Adelaide last Friday night.

Known as the fastest growing regional air port in Australia, the Whitsunday Regional Council owned and operated WCA won the same award back in 2018 and Mayor Julie Hall said this demonstrates the resilience of the team to “bounce back” after COVID.

“In April we smashed the highest monthly passenger record with 47,384 passengers transiting through the terminal,” she said.

“The previous highest monthly total pax for April was 37,486 in 2019, so to eclipse that by nearly 10,000 proves that WCA is prob ably the fastest growing regional airport in Australia.”

The airport’s Chief Operating Officer Avi ation and Tourism, Craig Turner, attended the awards in person and said the win high lighted how critical WCA is to the success of the Whitsunday region for our industry and business stakeholders.

“A major focus for my team has been busi ness development to attract new carriers and new destinations to increase passenger and air movement, plus the introduction of freight operations,” he said.

large quantity of the devices in the prop erty’s garage.

Police will allege the e-cigarettes/vapes were for online sale.

“Adding freight to our business plan was a strategic move aimed at maximising the ca pacity of aircraft to drive additional revenue and provide more reliable and efficient sup ply of fresh produce for tourism operators.

CANNONVALE DRUG CHARGES

“We have hit over 220 flights monthly which means more bums on seats, bodies in beds and visitors exploring our region and a ma jor reason the Whitsundays is one of Austra lia’s most popular tourism destinations.”

She is expected to appear at Proserpine Magistrates Court on December 19.

Police charged a 41-year-old man in re lation to the alleged discovery of a large number of e-cigarettes/vapes at a proper ty in Jubilee Pocket.

During the execution of a search warrant at a Jubilee Pocket Road address on No vember 18, Police allege the finding of a

The man has been issued with a notice to appear on one count of offence to buy or possess Schedule 4 or Schedule 8 medi cines or hazardous poisons – prescription only or controlled drugs respectively.

The man is due to appear in the Proser pine Magistrates Court on January 16 next year.

Police charged a 33-year-old woman with multiple drug related offences following the execution of a search warrant in Can nonvale on November 19.

Officers attended the Macarthur Drive address and allege a large number of dan gerous drugs, drug utensils and just under $4000 cash were found at the property.

The charged woman was taken into cus tody at the property without incident.

She faces charges of one count each of possessing dangerous drugs (methylam phetamine), possessing anything used in the commission of crime (mobile phone), possess property suspected of having been acquired for the purpose of com mitting a drug offence (clip seal bags), possession of property suspected of being the proceeds of an offence (cash), and two counts of possession of drug utensil (glass pipe and scales).

“PERSISTENCE AND PRESSURE” GET THE BRUCE MOVING

Major Bruce Highway upgrades that were abandoned in Febru ary have finally begun moving again as a new contractor is appointed and work commences after a nine-month de lay.

The $68.85 million worth of contract works across three sites between Ayr and Proserpine have recommenced this week as the Queensland Government replace previous contractor WBHO Infrastruc ture.

The South-African company entered vol untary administration in the early stages of 2022, downing tools on its Australian worksites and leaving the State Govern ment holding the bag.

Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox announced the appointment by the government’s Department of Trans port and Main Roads of a new contractor to complete the Emu Creek to Drays Road and Bowen Connection Road to Champi on Street construction after “persistence and pressure” on his part.

Alongside State Member for Burdekin Dale Last, Mr Willcox campaigned on behalf of the region’s road users to see the Bruce Highway Upgrade continue.

Mr Willcox said a new contractor has be gun the Emu Creek and Drays Road sec

tion as of November 21, with a separate contractor due to finish the Bowen por tions of the upgrade.

“A second contactor will be coming on board to complete the Bowen Connec tion Road and Bowen Connection Road to Champion Street with construction ex pected to resume in early 2023,” Mr Will cox said.

“We are one tiny step closer to a road that we deserve, and I’ll be watching this prog ress with interest.”

In comments earlier this year, Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey apologised on behalf of the Queensland Government and said they “hoped” the work could be completed in 2023.

Flying Fox Plague

“The Worst I’ve Seen In 30 Years”

At its peak, there were over 26,000 Flying Foxes roosting in trees throughout Collinsville and al though this number has now dropped to as little as 3000, Collinsville resident Graham Buckley said the issue remains a big one.

more time doing what you love

“Council have been successful at moving them out of the yards, but on public land they are still a nuisance,” he said.

“Kids can’t use the play park and we are all still disturbed by the noise and the smell, having to wash everything.

“If they are going to come back again next year – what is Council going to do to help? – what they’ve done so far is just a temporary fix, we want to get rid of them permanently.”

Scott Hardy, Manager Natural Resource Management and Climate for Whitsun day Regional Council said that Flying Foxes are causing issues in towns along the Queensland coast.

In recent months, his team have been in contact with other Councils to share ex periences in managing Flying fox roosts

but, unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy or quick answer to the prob lem.

“Pelican Park is a roost site,” he said.

“However, once the flying fox leave in the next few weeks, the council will put in place a number of actions for when they return to deter them.

“Once the first flying fox are sighted next year, Council will undertake smoking and install the inflatable wavy men to de ter the Flying fox scouts from settling.”

Both these measures have proven suc cessful this year and Council are hoping that implementing the measures prior to numbers soaring will mean Flying Foxes will move on and not settle for the season.

In the meantime, Mr Hardy said that Council staff have re-commenced the mowing and maintenance activities in the park.

“Council is also considering a smoking action in the park to move them out, however, the risk is that they will go into residential properties,” he said.

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox said a new contractor will begin works on the Bruce Highway upgrades in Bowen in early 2023

Who Stole Santa?

Up to eight patients with out their own transport need to travel from their homes in the Whitsundays to Mackay Base Hospital each day and a brand new mini-bus will allow them to travel with ease –it just needs a reliable driver.

Are you retired or can you spare some time to volunteer?

By simply holding a regular driv er’s licence, you can sign-up to offer your services for as little time or as often as you want.

The new LDV mini bus has been purchased with funds provided by Whitsunday Regional Coun cil with plans to operate the ser vice on a daily basis commencing in January.

All fuel, maintenance, insurance and registration costs for the vehicle are covered by Mackay Hospital Foundation and gener ously supported with funds from Macrossan and Amiet Charitable Foundation.

There will be three central pickup locations in Cannonvale, Proserpine and Bloomsbury commencing early morning with

departure from Mackay Base Hospital by 3.30pm each day, making the final drop-off point at Cannonvale around 5.30pm daily.

All patients will be fit to travel and be able to board and exit the vehicle without assistance.

While in Mackay, drivers will have an area in the hospital to sit, relax and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, or they are free to visit family and friends or carry out errands while waiting for pa tients.

If you’re willing to donate some time for a good cause, have a cur rent drivers’ licence, live in the Whitsundays, and are interested in being a Patient Transport driv er, Mackay Hsopital Foundation would love to hear from you.

For all enquiries, please contact Brenda McFadzen at Mackay Hospital Foundation on 4885 5924 or 4885 5915. Email Bren da.McFadzen@health.qld.gov.au.

Acreation that was full of good sentiment and fes tive cheer has been van dalised just one week after it was placed outside a property on the Bruce Highway, 24 kilometres north of Proserpine.

A group of residents had spent weeks planning and crafting the Christmas display which includes a Christmas tree out of recycled timber and recycled decorations.

Much of the display is hand-painted, home-made and created with love.

Once complete, Santa took pride

of place, sitting on a reclaimed chair at the centre of the dis play and bringing Christmas joy to hundreds of motorists who would pass by each day.

Unfortunately, just one week and a day after it was finished, the heart of the display was de stroyed when vandals ripped poor Santa off at his torso and stole him.

One of the display’s creators, Zano Thorpe, said that she is disappointed that their festive cheer was destroyed by such a Grinch.

“We wanted to do something

to make people smile, to make people happy as they travel up and down the road,” she said.

“It was just a simple gesture to make people smile, but now it is gone without a trace.”

Imploring the culprits to come forward, Zano said that if they bring Santa back, they will not be in any trouble.

“Leave him on the ground next to the chair with a note of apolo gy – we don’t need to know your name – Christmas is still a while away – it’s never too late to bring Santa back.”

Division 2 By-Election

Dan Popovich

You are the only candidate that lives in the Division 2 electorate, how im portant do you think it is to be living within your electorate?

I think it is very important and very relevant standing as a Councillor that you are from the very Division that you intend to represent. I think it shows you have commitment and ‘skin in the game’. That doesn’t mean to say that can didates that don’t live in the Division do not have some value and worth, but I do absolutely think being a resident within the Division itself is very important.

We have recently published articles about local councillors working full time in another industry while receiving 70K p/year to work as a Councillor part-time. Given people in our com munity are working 40 + hours per week on a minimum wage, where do you sit with this?

I am going to be allocating half my time to my day job and half my time during the week to the Councillor role. If faceto-face meetings are required we will have a couple of days a week where they can be facilitated and if there are other things over the weekend I will be avail able for those also.

When Julie Hall was voted in as May or, you donated to her campaign. How did that unfold and was that influen tial in your decision to run for Coun cillor?

I contributed to Julie Hall’s campaign because we thought she would be a fresh face within the shire. I don’t feel there is any conflict of interest in that. The fact that we supported Julie and her campaign is just part of the process and we are pleased that she got elected.

I think it shows there is a change in our community, maybe a bit of a changing

of the guard, and if that’s the case then I am a similar sort of person to bring some change in the community and represent the new views as well.

Given that you donated to Julie’s elec tion campaign, what can you say to those who may think you would be a yes-man to anything she votes for in council meetings?

I will absolutely be my own man and I am there on behalf of the rate payers in my Division. Ethics and profession alism is what I do in my daily job and it’s the sort of thing that would carry through to my role as Councillor.

During COVID you were vocal about not getting vaccinated, to the point where you turned away clients who had been vaccinated. Can you please explain?

I was not anti-vax, I am pro-choice. It’s important that we have bodily auton omy and that’s something that is en shrined in international law and Federal law that we cannot be coerced or black mailed, even in times of national emer gency, to undergo a medical procedure that we do not consent to.

The issue about treating people who have been vaccinated is a clinical deci sion based on State and federal health information and guidance which indi cates that there is a risk, albeit a rare risk, that vaccinations can cause micro-clots in the body and therefore manual thera py could dislodge a micro-clot and have some consequence that we wouldn’t like to be responsible for.

It was a very hard decision to make be cause we had been treating many people for years, but we felt it was best practice and best interest for the patient and the practitioner.

Chris Harvey

As Tourism is one of our largest in dustries, what experience of that sec tor do you have? What knowledge do you have of our local the reef, its cur rent condition and what is being done to help it?

Tourism is the main industry in both Division 2 and 1, I’d be keen to learn more about it for sure and where I can help. I have volunteered before with the Great Barrier Reef Festival and oth er events down here. I’ve also run on Whitehaven Beach with a Hamilton Is land event. If we can get more people in to see the beauty of the reef, the islands, and the location then I’m all for it. It brings in extra money and extra jobs.

Can you confirm where you live? If not in Cannonvale, how do you expect to serve the people of Cannonvale and understand the issues in that zone?

I live in Proserpine, but I’ve always had a tie to Airlie Beach, my family is fourth generation from the area. My mum had shops in town when I was growing up and this is just an extension of Proser pine to me. It’s just another township that I’ve come to three or four times a week, running along the boardwalk, things like that.

Working in the trades industry, how does any experience you have relate to the business of politics? How do you think you will manage to have a voice in the local government?

With all the volunteering organisations I am part of, I feel like I’ve got a good basis of ground support where I can hear problems and ideas from the com munity. I am not just isolated to one

organisation. I am part of the SES, Am bulance Committee, and others. There are so many good resources here in the electorate that I’ve got great ties with.

We have recently published articles about local councillors working full time in another industry while receiving 70K p/year to work as a Councillor part-time. Given people in our com munity are working 40 + hours per week on a minimum wage, where do you sit with this?

Financially, where I sit right now, I need to keep working. I’ve always worked two jobs; I am an auxiliary firefighter too. Being a Councillor would enable me to free up more time away from my full-time job to attend meetings and see people in the community. Instead of a seven-day roster, I’ll do a three day ros ter a fortnight so I get more hours in the day to be a Councillor. I would love to do it full-time but financially at the mo ment I can’t.

You mentioned in your last Q&A that you would like to see more footpaths and electric car charging points? Giv en the rental/living crisis our entire region is facing, do you think focusing on this issue is as important?

It kind of goes hand in hand, there’s a lot of people who can’t afford things like fuel in their car to travel. If you give them another means of travelling that doesn’t cost them anything, like riding a pushbike on a footpath. That’s one way they could save a lot of money to afford to live a good lifestyle. This makes the environment cleaner and it makes peo ple healthier and live longer.

What You Really Want To Know

Andy Camm

As a real estate agent, do you think people will consider your role as Councillor to be a conflict of interest?

That is my biggest concern that I am an agent, and the public will see that as being a problem. At Council meetings, if something is brought up about devel opment, I have to leave the room, and I like that policy because then there is no conflict. I can still give my opinion, but I’ve got to leave the room when they make decisions about planning.

Also, no-one can take any donation from a developer, it’s the number one thing on the ‘no-no’ list and I was hap py when I read that because I have had a property person come to me and say they wanted to back me and I told them they couldn’t. That’s just how it is.

Your cousin Amanda Camm is the current state member for Whitsunday, do you think this gives you an edge over the other candidates?

I’ve always had an interest in politics, last year when Andrew Willcox ran for Dawson, it was thrown at me to put my name in for Mayor and I said no – that’s a full-time role and I can’t do it. But Amanda has always said – at least have a go at local government – she’s always been an advocate for that. Amanda has done a lot with local government before she went to state, so I will absolutely lean on her for advice.

Can you confirm where you live? If not in Cannonvale, how do you expect to serve the people in that zone?

I live in Conway at the moment, but you don’t have to be living in your seat to run, you only have to be living in the Whitsunday region. Having said that, I

do believe the candidate should live in the area they are representing. In fact, I’ve got a block of land under contract at Whitsunday Lakes which is in Division 2. In addition, since 1998 my wife and I have owned six properties in Cannon vale. My postal address is Proserpine at the moment though.

We have recently published articles about local councillors working full time in another industry while receiving 70K p/year to work as a Councillor part-time. Given people in our com munity are working 40 + hours per week on a minimum wage, where do you sit on this?

Really good question. I’ve already spo ken to the other Councillors to find out what sort of hours they are doing and it ranges anywhere from 10 to 30 a week. I am lucky because real estate is a very flexible job, if I was to become the new Councillor for Division 2, I’ve just got to be better with time management and I’ve got to work more hours. If I need to work seven days a week I will. I don’t want people to think this is a part time role, because it is not going to be.

As Tourism is one of our largest in dustries, what knowledge do you have of our local reef, its current condition and what is being done to help it?

It is critical that the natural beauty of the Whitsundays is managed properly. As the town has grown there doesn’t seem to be much management and planning. I would like to see us get peo ple out of this district to see how other towns have been managed – Noosa is a good example.

Clay Bauman

Where do you live, and do you believe it’s important for a Councillor to live within their electorate?

I live at Eshelby Drive in Cannonvale and Division 2 starts at the roundabout at the end of Eshelby Drive. So I am in Division 1. It is still a boundary but I live in Cannonvale, I am right there ev ery day and I would have to live with the consequences of the decisions I make.

As Tourism is one of our largest in dustries, what knowledge do you have of our local reef, its current condition and what is being done to help it?

When I first came here, I did a lot of work on the Maxi Ragamuffin – when we went into Mackerel Bay for the first time, I started picking up rubbish. Then by the end of it, all the guests were pick ing up rubbish too. We took about 14 large bags of rubbish off! That was the sentiment of the tourists who used to come here.

In the 2017 Economic Development Plan we were promised a report on how many people can live in the area, and we need the same to happen out there too. We need to know when we are going to reach full development and then start planning from there back.

We need to spread the load, have other spots to take the tourists to. You can not overload what’s out there and think you’ll be able to keep the quality up.

We have recently published articles about local councillors working full time in another industry while receiving 70K p/year to work as a Councillor part-time. Given people in our com munity are working 40 + hours per

week on a minimum wage, where do you sit on this?

I already put at least 30 hours a week commitment into volunteering for the community and I already go to Council meetings regularly in my own time. It is very much a commitment that I already have that, if elected, I would be build ing upon. I do freelance video work, but I’ve always been lifestyle balanced. I also manage private sailing boats to get away from the computer, but I’ve al ready started to thin those out and del egate some away. As a freelancer I can choose to take on what I want to and being a Councillor would become my primary gig.

For many years you have been fight ing against Council on causes that of ten dominate Council meetings. How do you think you can change your mindset so you can work effectively as a team member with the rest of the Councillors and Mayor so as not to get bogged down in the detail?

I’ve always gone in there with the in tention to improve the quality of the information that is being given to the Councillors to make their decisions. I’ve always been in accordance with the local government act working for them to try and improve themselves.

I will go in and confront them when I think a recommendation has been made that I find hard to agree with. I’ve stood by my guns, but I’ve always been polite and respectful no matter how long I’ve been drawn out trying to get responses from Council. I’ve always accepted it’s just patience and commitment, it’s not about getting angry and demanding a response.

Collinsville’s $7.5 Billion Wind And Solar Power Plan

Over 180,000 hectares across mul tiple grazing properties near Col linsville will soon be transformed into a Green Energy Hub, utilising the power of the sun and wind to create up to 3,000 megawatts of clean energy, while still utilising the land for pasture and complementing its pre-existing purpose.

One of the largest projects of its kind in Queensland, the Collinsville Green Energy Hub is an initiative of major renewable energy company Ark Energy.

Playing a significant role in the Queensland Government’s goal of sourcing 50 per cent of the state’s energy needs from renewable sources by 2030 and the Australian Government’s Climate Change Bill 2022 to reach net zero by 2050, this project hopes to be a game-changer for local industry.

Set to generate $1 billion in local and regional expenditure, the Green Energy Hub will create 350 jobs during construction and 15 to 30 jobs for operation thereafter.

Having recently been toll-gated to the next stage of the feasibility study, referred to as the final development stage, Collinsville locals can expect to see a range of significant studies take place in the coming months.

These include civil and electrical design, installation of meteorological masts, deployment of additional mobile wind monitoring units, ecological surveys, initiation of planning and environmental approvals, and plans for grid connection.

This follows early feasibility studies including landholder engagement, Autumn ecology surveys, wind resource monitoring, and conceptual civil and electrical

design.

Ark Energy is engaging with a broad cross section of stakeholders as part of detailed stakeholder and community engagement plans, and the proposal will be subject to a rigorous assessment process under both the Queensland Government and Australian Government.

There will also be a permanent information centre for the project at 47 Railway Road in Collinsville which will provide convenient access to a local point of contact and extended members of the project team.

This Saturday, Ark Energy will be hosting a community connection event at the information centre and everyone is invited to come down and find out more about the Green Energy Hub.

This is an opportunity to ask questions, learn about how you can get involved and see how we can all work together to maximise the benefits of this project.

There will be a breakfast cart sausage sizzle plus an impressive LEGO wind turbine set to be won.

Project updates will also be issued regularly and there will be plenty of opportunities to provide input through local information sessions.

The Ark Energy team can also be contacted directly at any time by phone on 1800 731 296 or email to info@collinsvillehub.com.au.

Scooter Sensation Arrives In Airlie Beach

You might have spotted a new tour ism experience coasting around Airlie Beach, the sun glittering off their vibrant chrome finish.

Local business ‘Scoot In Style’ launched this week, renting out its vespas armada of 30 chrome scooters from various Airl ie Beach locations, their stylish colouring hoping to capitalise on the town’s party and paradise atmospheres.

Owner of Scoot In Style Mohammad ‘Mo sey’ Nahas said the business plan was born when Whitsunday locals would ask him where he got his own chrome, turquoise scooter. The answer: The professional car wrapper had fixed it up himself. And that was when the idea hatched in the owner of ProPaintworks Airlie Beach’s mind.

“Everywhere I went on my scooter, there would be a person asking. I’d be driv ing down the middle of Airlie Beach and someone would shout out: Where’d you get that scooter from!” Mosey said.

“And I thought about it. When you go to Thailand or Bali, you have to get a scooter. In Airlie Beach, I thought, there’s all boat tours, everything on the water, but noth ing here on the mainland. That’s where the idea came from.”

The custom, unique scooters were soon coined Scoot In Style, and Mosey fitted them with a chrome finish, white, croc odile skin seats, and whitewall tires. The

target audience: anyone on a party of any variety, whether it be bucks, wedding, or birth day.

But Mosey said the major de mographic Scoot In Style’s ap pealed to was tourists.

“Driving down Airlie Beach esplanade on coloured bikes, each with unique names like our Arabian Copper wrapped scooter nicknamed Chewbac ca, or a silver bad boy with the title of Silver Surfer, there’s nothing like it,” Mosey said.

“We wanted something fun ny, fun, cool, and that makes you smile.

“There’s nothing like it in Air lie Beach. These 50cc, 60-ki lometre-per-hour scooters that you can take around to Shute Harbour, get photos with, and just enjoy yourself. Anyone can drive them.

“You ride these scooters, people look at you; they point at you. And when you’re in a gang with others on their pink, green, white, silver, you’re having an absolute blast. You can’t help but smile and peo ple are smiling at you when you ride past them.”

Mosey, who moved to the region alongside

his partner, has lived and worked in Airlie Beach for eight years. And the car-wrap per by trade is celebrating the anniversary in his own style.

“We’re going to be everywhere in Airlie Beach – people have been calling me up like crazy already, asking where they can get them,” he said.

“We’re already thinking about where they

can go next. Maybe Yeppoon or the Gold Coast; places that are a bit like Airlie Beach where you don’t need to be anywhere else.

“The bikes are perfect for that. Everything you need is at your fingertips and that’s it, you’re set once you’ve put that helmet on.”

Scoot In Style vespas are rentable from various locations across Airlie beach.

Four Year 12 graduates from the Whitsundays were announced as the recipients of a series of local Zonta Club scholarships which will help them pursue tertiary schooling across the coun try.

St Catherine’s College Proserpine gradu ates Ella Crossley, Sienna Sobott, and An nabel Danvers were awarded with $1,000 Zonta scholarships each, while Maddison Fitzgerald was awarded the Laura Morri son Scholarship.

The Laura Morrison Memorial Bequest Scholarship of $2,000 commemorates the gift's late namesake, Laura Morrison, a previous treasurer of the Zonta Club of the Whitsundays who passed away suddenly in 2020.

Remembered for her generosity, love of the Zonta Club, and desire to support the education of women, Mrs Morrison’s legacy lives on as part of the scholarship package, which has been awarded annual ly since her death.

President of the Zonta Club of the Whit sundays, Dianne Truman said this year’s

process to determine what is normally a singular scholarship expanded into four separate grants.

“Maddison was a class above the rest in representing the values of the Zonta Club and what we were looking for in a Laura Morrison scholarship recipient,” Ms Tru man said.

“But each was so worthy on their own right that we simply could not overlook them. We had the funding, and so now we have four very talented, beautiful young women receiving our support.”

Each graduate will be utilising their funds to study tertiary education in either Syd ney or Melbourne.

Maddison Fitzgerald, who is also a found ing member of the St Cath’s Z Club, said the feeling of receiving the Laura Morri son Scholarship was a “massive relief.”

“It’s such a weight off my shoulders. Two grand is a lot of money and this will cover a large amount the expenses for my study,” she said.

Maddison will be studying Forensic Psy chology with the funds.

Don’t let your holiday plans be ruined by tooth ache, be proactive and ensure your teeth are good to go this Christmas!

tent to just listen. Unfortunately, we have been hard-wired with the intent to reply – which doesn’t make us that effective at listening at all.

What worked three years ago won’t work for us today - small business and the workplace has undergone massive changes in the past three years with the latest stats telling us our people want three things:

Neuroscience tells us we speak at an aver age of 125 words per minute, listen at 400 words per minute and think at 900 words per minute.

When we open up our mindset and invite others’ opinions, perceptions and expe riences we are truly creating a learning environment for us and those around us, whilst simultaneously demonstrating em pathy and respect.

Surely the world would benefit from more learning environments and less opin ion-based environments.

What Happens To My Super If Russia Invades Ukraine?

When will prices stop rising?

We’re all feeling the pain in the back pocket over the last 12 months. After many years of steady or even declining prices suddenly the cost of goods and services have started rising.

History tells us that wars generally lead to a swift fall in share markets driven by emotion. This is typically followed by a sharp rally as investors come to the realisation that it won’t have that big an effect on how the world lives. Share markets replicate human life. Com panies only get bigger when they are producing goods or services consumers want. If consumers want to buy some thing, business will find a way to get it to them.

For much of the last 10 years the price of goods and services have stayed stable. With the world’s manufacturers global izing their supply chains and sourcing components from the cheapest country to produce them, we even saw major price reductions in many manufactured goods. TV’s, electronics and tech items and even basic manufactured goods prices benefit ted as suppliers scoured the globe to find the cheapest countries to manufacture different items. In the last 12 months this trend has reversed with prices starting to rise.

around the world. Higher energy and fuel costs mean it costs more to run factories and transport goods around the world, so prices rise.

These price rises are inflation and the world’s central banks have increased in terest rates swiftly to try and nip it in the bud. Increased repayments on home and business loans means less to spend on dis cretionary items. The rate rises will really start to bite next year as people who fixed their interest rates a couple of years ago have their loans mature and they feel the pain of higher repayments like the variable rate borrowers already are.

2023 should start to see governments get inflation back under control as people reduce their spending. This should see prices stabilize as well as interest rates stop increasing.

Fairness – to have a right to vaccinate or not vaccinate, to be treated equally along side other team-members; to be seen as a human first, and a worker second.

If so, how do we master the art of quieten ing our mind to truly listen to someone?

True listening starts with the willingness to have our mind changed – not to be ‘right’

Flexibility – in hours, wages, conditions. Our introverts are thriving in the home of fice and want the flexibility to do 2-3 days a week at home where they have proven they are more productive. Teams are opting for 4-day weeks (and employers are discover ing their teams are just as productive on reduced hours).

Wellness – emotional, physical and psy chological health; everything that is en capsulated by ‘wellness’. Your people no longer park their emotions at the door and

So let’s all demonstrate empathy, respect and promote learning environments by learning the art of really listening.

Headlines scream we are in the era of “the great resignation”. People are opting out of careers and high wages, and choosing more family time, leisure time. They are no longer living to work – they are work ing to live.

If everyone is vying for the same pool of skilled workers make sure you have the edge over your competitors. Emphasise fairness, flexibility and wellness in your workplace. Provide a workplace culture where people have a voice, have the abili ty to negotiate the conditions which work best for both the business and the worker, and create a wellness program which en hances social connections, and physical health.

Wars in wealthier European nations get more press but since WWII there’s really only been the Bosnian war in the 1990’s and the last Ukrainian war in 2014. Russia has been preparing for this for years, bolstering its internal re serves of important goods, selling down it’s holdings in US government debt, cozying up to China and waiting until Biden’s popularity is weak and US midterm elections are on.

With geopolitical tensions rising, man ufacturers are starting to question the stability of their supply chains. The world currently buys three quarters of its semiconductor chips that go into everything from fridges to phones to computers to cars to airplanes from Taiwan, what happens if China invades Taiwan, and we can’t get those chips? Governments are subsi dizing smaller producers in Europe and America to increase supply. If we pay a little more to these new suppliers, then so be it as it’s better to have a stable supply than risk having none.

The biggest question for investment mar kets is how a war will affect supply chains and economies. Russia is well known as a major supplier of oil and gas to Europe but what’s less know is that the Russian Feder ation also supply over half the world’s Am monium Nitrate, used to make fertiliser.

If this supply chain stops, companies like Australia’s Orica as one of the largest in dividual producers of Ammonium Nitrate in the world may well benefit. We are a country rich in oil and gas reserves and LNG export facilities like Gladstone will be working overtime to supply Europe if Putin turns off his pipeline.

New Community Grant Program Backs Bowen

One of Bow en’s biggest employ ers has launched a new community support program, providing funding to not-for-profit organisations and community groups through purchases of small assets to “make a big differ ence.”

Bowen Rail Com pany (BRC) com menced the first round of its Community Partnership Program in November, making “positive financial contributions” to communities where the company’s employees live and work.

Each year, the Program intends on offer ing two rounds of funding for community groups and not-for-profit initiatives, proj ects, and programs with a maximum of $2,000 per applicant granted per round.

The program’s inaugural grant went to Bowen State High School, assisting them in sending 27 budding engineers, mathe maticians, and roboticists to Brisbane to compete in the F1 In Schools Challenge.

Students acted as car manufacturers as part of a team-based state-level compe tition, designing and building cars from balsa wood in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) school program.

Bowen Rail Company’s Community Part nership Program was integral in helping the students build their car and make the trip to race it in Brisbane, according to the local school as well as the company itself.

BRC General Manager Brendan Lane said the students’ experience was an example of the community outcomes the business wanted to deliver.

“This is something the BRC team has been wanting to do for a while, and now that we’ve moved into operations, we’re really excited to be able to give back to our com munity in a new way,” Mr Lane said.

“The program is purposefully designed to help with the purchase of the small assets that can make a big contribution to what makes Bowen such a great place to live and work in.

“Tangible things like a new oven for the P&C tuckshop, kickboards for swimming training, or new football jerseys to help players get on the field and make new friends are what we’re looking to support.”

Mr Lane said the Company - which plant ed its tracks in the Far North town in late 2020 and forms part of the Carmichael Mine resource chain – will run the pro gram annually, awarding it on a bi-annual basis in May and November with applica tions for the first round open now.

What does it mean to own a pool?

To some it can mean a place to cool off; somewhere to relax throughout the day. It can be a place for exercise. For family.

To Sue Martin, having a pool has been an entire life aspiration. For her, water was “peace, calm, and tranquillity.” And a place for her husband David Dalzell and son Cam to cool off after a long day.

David and Sue purchased the business from Tony and Tracey Bazzo, then known as ‘Bowen Pools and Pumps’, and have re branded it to Bowen Pools and More – a business offering opportunity to help oth ers maintain what, in North Queensland, is an oft-prized possession.

David and Sue have a strong community passion. A community thrives and grows when a community works together and plays together. Where they can they use local trades and suppliers. And that rings true in their products: The pool salt they use comes from Bowen. If an item or skill can’t be sourced locally, then they look for Australian made and owned.

“As a previous swimming teacher, I’ve al ways had an affinity for the water. With Bowen Pools and More, I’ve been able to work on something I’m passionate about,” Sue said.

“We have anything anyone could need re lating to a pool or spa if it’s not in stock we can get it in. We do repairs, maintenance, water testing, pumps, and cleaners. We do it all.”

For Sue and her husband, the business is also an opportunity to capitalise on Sue’s other passions, which is where the ‘and More’ comes in.

“It’s a lot of my passions mixed into one business. I’ve taught musical instruments over the years, and that’s part of the busi ness, I also have bra fittings and wardrobe curations as part of the business!” Sue said.

“People can take out of the ‘More’ whatev er they would like: If it’s spas, water filtra tion systems, bras, music, it doesn’t matter.

The More is that someone will walk in the door and ask if we stock something, and if there’s enough interest, we will.”

Bowen Pools and More is a new, fami ly-owned business open now at 14 Herbert Street, Bowen.

As temperatures in the Whitsun days rise, reaching their often un comfortably high levels, pets are likely to struggle with the heat as much as people do – if not more, according to local experts.

Greater Whitsunday Vet Services veter inarian Doctor Jason Mansfield warns of the impactful North Queensland heat’s ef fect on all pets, even one that might seem to revel in the heat.

“Even for snakes or lizards, this time of year can be extremely challenging for them. Which is certainly saying some thing, considering their cold-blooded na ture,” Dr Mansfield said.

“But in particular, we need to be mind ful the most of our furry, warm-blooded friends who have trouble self-regulating heat like humans do.”

In the Whitsundays’ far northern extremi ty, there is a high chance that your pet can experience, at its worst, heatstroke, which, according to scientific reports conducted in the United States, sees over 50 per cent of dogs taken to the vet with severe heat stroke die.

“That’s why it’s so important to follow some basic rules and thought processes during the summer months in the Whit sundays,” Dr Mansfield said.

The basic rules Dr Mansfield highlighted

were for dogs and cats.

“With your dogs, if they’re being left out side during the day, you need shaded areas. Some people tie their dogs up during the day, and I do not recommend that at all – it can cause stress, which exacerbates the symptoms of the heat,” Mr Mansfield said.

“We are wanting to not overstress any animal as that will have issues with overheating them. We need them to have plenty of water and in some cas es even electrolyte solu tions, which can be pur chased explicitly for dogs.

You then need to keep that water out of the sun.

“The general rule of thumb is: If you’re hot, your animal is very likely hot, too. Think of the lollipop lady.

She’s out in the weather all day with shade provided by her clothing, extra water, elec trolytes. We can’t give animals clothing, so we need to remedy that in other ways.”

Although it may seem minor, heat-stress and heat-related illness is almost the op posite, according to Mr Mansfield. It is an

important consideration for any pet own er, particularly as part of their duty of care to another living creature.

“There are a great number of ways pets can overheat – The obvious being the weather, but it’s also coming into the silly season and they may get a bit of Christmas ham, which can cause inflammation which can then cause vomiting, diarrhea, causing de hydration, which exacerbates heat issues.

Sometimes it’s the things we don’t think about,” Dr Mansfield said.

“The best thing we can do is get them out of the heat. Shelter, water, and reduce stress if your pet is anxious.

Dr Mansfield said Greater Whitsunday Vet Services was available for heat-related illnesses in any domestic animal, and had many more tips for keeping your pets safe in the hottest part of the year.

Greater Whitsunday Vet Services veterinarian Doctor Jason Mansfield said this time of year was the time to be most vigilant regarding our animals overheating as a pet owner

If there’s one Australian Christmas tradition that grew out of Australia’s climate, it’s the food. We once slaved in the kitchen cooking thick, European meals a generation or two back, turning our kitchens into saunas

But since the nineties, we’ve turned al fres co: Fresh, local ingredients, straight from the sea. We have a blue border as a skirting line down all our coastlines - the Pacific, Southern, and Indian Oceans, the Timor, Tasman, and Coral Seas – and that means we have a penchant for one thing: “Throw in’ a prawn on the barbie”.

In Bowen there’s plenty of fresh fish, crus taceans, and oysters coming in from the boats, especially at one of the town’s lon gest-running food establishments and an institution of seafood, Bird’s Fish Bar.

Owner Chloe Bauer said Christmas was a special time of year for the store, which also functions as Bowen Fisherman’s Sea food Company, bringing in fresh-caught produce from the Great Barrier Reef.

“Every year, we have lots of fresh, local fish coming in for Christmas; great packs and

deals that include the Australian staples,” Chloe said.

“Because of this climate, it’s always nice to have cold prawns with a salad. Things that are forever popular. We have so many people over the years who come and buy a whole fish for a centrepiece, cook it all together around the barbecue. That’s what Christmas is about!”

Bird’s Fish Bar has a range of local, wildcaught fish available all the way until Christmas Eve, with specials available in cluding the chance to go into the draw to win five-kilograms of Bowen prawns.

“For me, our Christmas is always fresh prawns, prawn cocktails, bugs on the bar bie with sand crabs, and a whole baked fish,” Chloe said.

“A bit of lemon, lime, chilli – it’s so spe cial.”

Aside from the food, Bird’s is also available as a Christmas party venue – whether it be for work, family, or friends, don’t miss your chance to enjoy one of Bowen’s most special spots. Give them a ring!

The Best Time To Plant A Tree Is Now

Agarden of trees com memorating Queen Elizabeth the Sec ond’s Platinum Jubilee were unveiled in an intimate cer emony at Cannonvale State School last week.

The end-of-project event - which received funding from the State Govern ment’s Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee Program - saw students, teachers, Parents and Community Association (P&C) repre sentatives, and Whitsunday Regional Councillor Jan Clifford plant the project’s last tree: a lychee.

Led by the school’s Principal Angie Kelly and Health Teacher Erin Moore, the event concluded the planting of the Cannon vale State School’s “Queen’s Jubilee Fruit Forest”, which hosts 26 various species of plants.

“It’s time - not tomorrow, not well into the future – but now that we rewrite the fu ture we have, and the future we have for our children, and our children’s children,” Principal Kelly said.

“We know there is no place better to start than here. It seems so little – this garden –but to me it is so big.”

The Garden stretches between the school’s pool and tennis courts and was spearhead ed by Health Teacher Erin Moore.

Ms Moore said having an active garden of fruits coincided with the school’s ecologi cal message of sustainability.

“It is a great privilege to receive this very worthwhile government grant which will honour the Queen for her remarkable 70

Stories Of The Reef

The stories of the wildlife and the incredible diversity of species and habitats are just some of the reasons that the Great Barrier Reef is so inspira tional to visitors.

At approximately 350,000 km2 in size and stretching 2,300 km along the Queensland coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the only living ecosystem on Earth that can be seen from Outer Space.

Comprised of 2900 coral reefs and 1050 Islands and coral cays, the Great Barrier Reef is home to all of this:

• One third of the world’s Coral species

• 6 of the worlds 7 species of marine Tur tles including; Green, Hawksbill, Log gerhead, Flatback, Olive -Ridley, and Leatherback

• One of the world’s most important du gong populations

• Giant clams that are more than 120 years old

• More than 1500 species of fish

• More than 3000 species of molluscs (shells)

• 630 species of echinoderm (star fish and sea urchins)

• 14 breeding species of sea snakes

• 215 species of birds, including 22 species of seabirds and 32 species of shorebirds

• 30 species of whales and dol phins

• 133 species of sharks and rays

• And it is bigger than the country of It aly!

Over the next three months you have the chance to see:

• Turtle’s nesting and hatching

• Fish spawning

• Jellyfish, sea squirts, salps and siphono phores which fill the water column and are fed upon by fish and turtles

• Whale sharks (which are the world’s biggest fish!)

The Great Barrier Reef is one of earth’s greatest Natural wonders, and we are priv ileged to have it right on our doorstep.

Each and every living thing on it, has its own tale to tell, and I encourage you to choose one thing, each time you’re on the reef, and find out its story.

By doing so it will not only educate but you will appreciate, how truly amazing it is.

So don’t forget to tell people how special it is and how proud we are to call it home.

years of service,” Ms Moore said.

“The Queen represents longevity, and I hope these trees will experience that too. My hope is, in another 70 years’ time, these trees will continue to provide shade, beauty, purification of the air, and a range of delicious fruits for school children.”

The completed Garden also aligns with the school’s Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden – a hands-on learning program delivering food education to primary stu dents.

“A lot of the fruits are things the students may not have tried before. It exposes them to a range of foods now and shows them the growing process,” Ms Moore said.

“Already, we’ve been making food in our Kitchen Gardens from fruits grown at the school, and this will only improve that.”

Councillor Jan Clifford presented a lychee tree as the final addition to the Queen’s Ju bilee Fruit Forest on behalf of Whitsunday Regional Council.

Growers Show Off Agtech

Students from across the region took to Bowen in early November to learn about the latest technology in one of the Whitsundays’ major industries.

Bowen Gumlu Growers Association’s (BGGA) Innovation Field Day held at the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) research station in Bowen was a “huge success” according to organisers.

Attracting over 150 producers, industry stakeholders, students, and agricultural businesses from across North Queensland, the event was both an opportunity for lo cals to learn about one of the region’s eco nomic drivers, as well as businesses to see the improvements in ‘Agtech’.

BGGA Chief Executive Officer Ry Collins highlighted the attendance of over 60 stu dents from Bowen, Home Hill, and Pro serpine High schools who saw first-hand what kinds of Agtech are emerging in the industry.

“The field day was a great opportunity for

industry and our community to come to gether, share information and learn about new technologies and advancements in the horticulture sector,” Mr Collins said.

The event hosted a comprehensive pro gram of speakers, displays and demonstra tions, including the autonomous Robotti and GUSS units that demonstrated robot ic weeding, seeding, spraying, and slashing as well as automated packing from LYRO robotics.

Mr Collins said it was a key business pri ority for BGGA to collaborate with indus try and provide growers with information and access to the latest agtech products and services that helped them improve on-farm efficiency, reduce input costs and remain profitable.

“It is vital that we continue to pursue new ways to meet and adapt to challenges, be more productive and sustainable and en sure our industry is able to continue to be prosperous into the future,” he said.

Did You Know Your Recycling Is Worth Money?

Recycling is not just about the en vironment, it is also about repur posing a valuable resource, selling it onto markets and then circulating back into the economy.

Every year we make roughly $500,000 from recycling in our region, but general waste that goes directly into landfill costs us around $8 million.

Councils are working very hard to flip that statistic by educating people on the way we view our recyclable materials.

When we stop looking at items as objects and start looking at them as materials, this completely changes how we interact with our recycling bins.

Glass, metal and plastics are just some ex amples of materials we use every day that are worth money and can be on-sold to companies that will repurpose them into valuable products.

Every week, all the yellow bins from across the Whitsundays are emptied and trans ported down to the Mackay Material Re covery Facility for processing.

Receiving roughly 60,000 tonnes of recy clable materials each week, the team of 10 dedicated staff work long hours to process all the items, repurposing as many as pos sible.

A high level of contaminates, roughly 17 per cent of what arrives at the station, will be transferred onto landfill and the rest will be directed into holding bins where it is stockpiled until its market value increas es and it can be sold for profit.

Materials are moved across a slow-mov ing hopper, under a trundle wheel and over a conveyor where they are manually

Recycling Tips

• Wash out all containers first

• Never recycle batteries, they are highly flammable

• Recycle loose items – any thing in a bag will go to landfill

• Do not recycle shredded paper

They then run past a magnet and through a green machine computer with Artificial Intelligence which takes photo of every object dictating where each item goes.

Glass is then used by Mackay Council for house levelling and roads, steel is sold to business Raw Metal Corp., who oper ate nearby, and plastic is sent to Brisbane where it is on-sold to China.

But what happens to it after this?

An important part of the recycling pro cess is that the product it becomes is then bought and used by everyone – from big business to Councils and households right across Australia.

“It’s the recycle cycle,” said Alyssa Zammit from Mackay Regional Council.

“We need to be buying back what we sell - it’s all well and good that our plastics get recycled but we need to then be making a

conscious decision to buy something that is a recycled product to create a circular economy.”

Mackay Regional Council work with a company called Replas who make items such as bollards, seats and park benches for the region.

Plastic Forest and Close the Loop are also excellent companies to buy recycled items from.

On a smaller scale, we can all make sure we look at what we purchase at the super market.

Mackay Regional Council offer free tours of the recycling plant which are open to everyone, from individuals to school groups.

The tours are informative and fun, with bookings available through Council.

From Japan To Proserpine Rare Sword Finds New Home

AProserpine World War II veteran, Private Edward ‘Eddie’ Charles Lade, returned home to the sugar cane farming town after two years’ service in the Pacific Theatre of War, bringing with him something incredibly special.

In a ceremony at the Proserpine Returned and Services League (RSL) Subbranch last week, Edward Lade’s nephew, Ian Lade, bestowed the local chapter with his uncle’s special spoil of war: a guntō – a Japanese, ceremonial sword produced for the Impe rial Army and Navy.

Forged by Japanese swordsmith Choun sai Emura, the guntō was officially left in the care of the RSL for display by the Lade family on Remembrance Day.

Ian Lade, who had travelled with the sword on behalf of his cousin Janet, said his uncle had come into possession of the sword whilst in active service in the islands of Papua New Guinea during the Second World War.

“I feel very proud and honoured to pres ent this to the RSL and [Proserpine RSL Subbranch President] Jason Raiteri on behalf of the Lade family. I didn’t know Eddie all that well, but what I do know is he was a bit of a larrikin,” Mr Lade said.

“Just like anyone who spent time in active service, you could see he suffered from it. This RSL meant a lot to him. I’m hon oured to leave his sword here.”

Chounsai Emura, the Chief Warden of Okayama Prison during the 1940s, pur portedly forged hundreds of swords with in his prison walls, donating them to Im perial Japanese Armed Forces Officers.

“The legend of the sword is that this pris on warden [Emura] had his prisoners forge the swords and sharpen them,” Mr Lade said.

“It was believed only one of his swords was ever brought back to Australia by a Lieutenant Colonel who passed it onto the Australian War Memorial; but I’ve got a little bit of a story for them that it’s not the only one!”

The sword now joins other war artifacts displayed at the local RSL, which the RSL Subbranch President Jason Raiteri said was an exceptional honour.

“On behalf of the RSL, I would like to thank Ian for allowing us to be the care takers of this sword for as long as the RSL is here,” he said.

On Thursday last week St Cather ine’s Catholic College students were recognised for their aca demic, sporting, cultural and community achievements at their annual Awards Cer emony.

Parents, carers and community members were invited to attend one of the biggest events in the College calendar.

College Principal Mr Luke Thomson said it filled him with pride to once again see so many students recognised and rewarded

for their efforts and achievements in 2022.

“Our College value of excellence is some thing that we encourage all students to strive for, however this will always be mea sured differently for different students,” he said.

“We talk of students achieving their ‘own excellence’ and in doing so we extend this expectation to all aspects of College life, with students achieving across a breadth of fields and that is what was celebrated at the ceremony.”

Mr Thomson congratulated all of the award winners for their commitment, dil igence and consistency they have demon strated this year.

Staff were also recognised for their years of service, with 10-, 20-, 25- and 35-year milestones celebrated.

St Catherine’s Year 12 cohort also complet ed one of the few remaining rites of pas sage that we have in society today - their high school graduation. This year they have a senior class of 46

students, their largest graduating cohort to date.

Mr Thomson congratulated each of the students on their successful completion of high school.

“We all look forward to hearing about their adventures and journeys in the years to come,” he said.

“Some may be leaving the region to chase their dreams, while we hope others will be more regular faces within our College for years to come.”

Strange World

Qui Nguyen coats his animat ed feature with world-building, transforming what is ostensibly a standard narrative into an exceptional ly poignant, visually gorgeous, and thor oughly jubilant tale in a vibrant world. The writer-director has crafted a heartfelt and humorous ode to classic, pulp action-ad venture comics of old with his 2022 ani mated film Strange World.

In terms of script, there is the old famil iar framework: An emotional tale of an estranged father and son, and the legacy and expectation our previous generations can leave behind. It borrows heavily from classical works like Jules Verne’s ‘Journey To The Centre Of The Earth’, as well as Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, but there is a complexity, comedic, and contempo rary feel that elevates Strange World from its pulpy premise.

We follow Jake Gyllenhaal’s Searcher Clade, the son of legendary explorer Jae ger. Gyllenhaal is our audience vehicle – an everyman character – but his com plexity comes from his relationship with his father, played with roguish charm

by Dennis Quaid. Jaeger disappeared on an unchartered adventure in year’s past, and now Searcher is heading on a similar trip, torn from his normal home-life by a sense of generational duty. He takes with him Ethan, his son played in earnest and humorous manner by Jaboukie YoungWhite, who definitively steals the show. When Jaeger, believed to be dead, is found living as a Crusoe-esque figure in a manic, goopy world of alien lifeforms, generations collide and are forced to reconcile with

emotional trauma.

A film of stunning beauty – pushing the envelope on animations malleable form – Strange World is at its core an age-old message that is a more than welcome re vival. Charming and disarming, the film is a triumph and the best animated feature of the year with a heart of gold.

Strange World opens tonight at the Bowen Summergarden Cinema.

Proserpine Pitbulls Cricket Report

CRICKET

First up was the Under 11 Proserpine Pitbulls vs South’s Sharks: It was set to be a tough match against the unbeaten South’s Sharks team on a balmy Saturday morning.

Captain Zahra lost the toss and the Sharks opted to field first, knowing the day was only going to get hot ter. The Proserpine side posted a 9/62 total at the end of 20 overs.

With the temperature rising, it was time for the Pit bulls to take the field.

It was a valiant effort by the Pitbulls, but the Sharks showed why they are on top of the table, putting on 7/144.

Player of the day went to Matthew.

Next was the Under 12s against Walkerston: After a tough round one encounter against the club, the young Pitbulls arrived at the ground knowing they were in for a battle.

Walkerston elected to bowl, and the local Pitbulls soon had a competitive 6-110 after their allotted 25-overs.

Under immense pressure, the Pitbulls restricted the Scrubby batters in the final over to see them finish at 6-106 after their 25 and claim the win.

Another great performance by this exceptional group of young legends.

Players Player: Aiden Farley (2-5, 2 runs, 1 catch)

Under 13s take on the Magpies Black in Mack ay: With rain threatening, the Pitbulls lost the toss and were sent into bat. The Magpies opening bowl ers started very well, maintaining a good line and length. Despite fierce opposition, the Pitbulls score posted at 6-137 after 25 overs.

Danielle said that competing in swim ming races is an excellent way to build confidence and get experience swim ming in a bigger pool.

First, second and third places received trophies, as well as the Most Improved, Encouragement and of course Swim mer of the Meet.

Seumas Rose took his place amongst the Semi Finalists thanks to an impressive win

over this year’s Pre mier League runner up, Jamie Maher by three sets to one.

The Magpies innings had a shaky start, and it contin ued to be shaky - ending with the U13s continuing their unbeaten run this season with their toughest match so far, winning by 49 runs.

extra spacious bedroom and a freshly renovated ensuite.

The lower level contains another room that could be used as a workspace/storage area or possibly turn it into a separate guest accommodation. There is also further potential for adding an extension level with approvals.

Situated on a large 1106sqm block, you may find multiple veggie garden areas and a few fruit trees. However, this family-sized home is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, conveniently located only minutes from local shopping, schools, restaurants, beaches, and other facilities.

If you are looking for something a bit special with character and charm, then you must inspect it!
