By Nicola MillenGordonvale Creatives is a group of local artists who have come together, with the support of the Gordonvale Community Hub, to exhibit their art works in a way that will place Gordonvale firmly on the artistic map and give the town identity as the southern hub of the Cairns art circuit.

The 5th September Art Prize was another hugely successful effort by Gordonvale Creatives who have shown enormous diversity since first opening in June, 2014. We were extremely grateful to obtain a $500 funding grant from the Mayor’s Discretionary Fund as well as a $200 Photographic Prize donated by Mulgrave Central Mill.

This enabled us to allocate $200 prizes for each section of the Art Prize – Traditional (L. Amadio), Contemporary (L. Hayes), Sculptural or Formed(D-L. Hewlett) and Photographic (H. York). Then

We Prize Our Town!

there was a $100 Encouragement Award from Gordonvale Creatives (S. Jackson James) as well as a Creative Kids Drawing Competition sponsored by Popular Newsagency. But the most outstanding effort was by our own Gordonvale Traders who managed to produce over $1000 worth of small vouchers to support the People’s Choice Voucher Showbag (D-L. Hewlett)!

What a wonderful effort especially right after the Pyramid Race! The passion and dedication of each artist could be seen in the creativity and talent shown in every item on display. Traditional oil paintings and crafting, contemporary acrylics and in all sections unconventional, environmental and innovative works. Gordonvale Creatives have some very knowledgeable, experienced and hard-working curators amongst our members who rotate turns to provide us with a real professional edge to our exhibitions in our Creative Space

Gallery. A lot of people remarked on the energy that Raewyn Biggs created with her curatorship in this exhibition. We would also like to thank the two judges, Jeanette Laver (Cairns Regional Gallery) and John Cornwall (Garratts, DFO) who donated their professional time and experience to select our winners, for which we are extremely grateful. Steve Brain (pictured above) our popular Councillor for Division 1 dropped in on Friday to be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the works on display in the gallery.

Of course our very own Creative classical guitarist, Steve Schwartz, provided what has become known as our “signature tune” thoroughly enjoyable music, and we all had a great night! The next exhibition will be held on October Market weekend, on the 3rd and 4th. Come and enjoy!

Gordonvale is shaping up for a bad tick season for pets with a rise in the amount of pets taken to the vet for the deadly paralysis tick. The tick season is generally around June to December each year, however they can be found all year round. Paralysis ticks are a parasite which feed on the blood of mammals. Their natural hosts are native wildlife such as bandicoots. Occasionally a paralysis tick will attach to a pet or other domestic animal. During feeding the paralysis tick releases a toxin called holocylotoxin which can cause a life threatening paralysis. Paralysis ticks may be differentiated from other common ticks (such as the brown dog tick and cattle tick) by its legs, which are clustered up near its head, never more than half way back along its body. The front and back legs are dark brown, then middle two legs are a lighter colour.

Ticks are normally coloured light grey, white or bluish grey (The male tick is a darker brown and because it doesn’t feed stays small: only 2-4 mm in size). Female ticks may also have brown tones and often have stripes along their body or other patterns, which can vary widely in different geographic areas Search pets thoroughly at least once a day, use the fingertips to feel through the animal’s coat. Ticks or tick craters can be felt as lumps on the skin surface.

Most ticks are found forward of the front legs, especially on the face, neck and ears. However, remember to search the entire pet. Start at your pet’s nose and slowly examine the face, forehead and ears (outer and inner surface of the ear flap/pinna). Also search the eyes and lips and the skin/fur around the eyes and lips. Carefully examine all skin folds as well. Remove any collars and search the neck area thoroughly including the skin folds of the neck. Continue the search, searching the shoulder area and then down the shoulders to the front legs. Remember to check between each toe and under surface of the front feet.

Energy ExhibitionFriday the 5th of September saw the opening of the Creative Generation and ENERGY Exhibition at The Tanks.This event showcases student artwork from schools all across the Far Northern region, with 17 schools entering over 150 students in the 2014 exhibition. Gordonvale was strongly represented with nine students submitting works to be displayed for the duration of the event.

Year 12 students Ayeesha, Jade, Jennifer, Benjamin, Je-Anne, Breanna and Mikayla, along with Chelsea and Lucy from year 11 will have their amazing artworks on display in ENERGY right through to the 5th of October. Entry is free, so head over to Collins Avenue in Edge Hill to see the amazing talent from both our school and the students of Far North Queensland.

Also check under the armpits. Examine the chest area, all along the back, sides, belly, inguinal area, around the tail and anus and the thighs, back legs, in between the back leg toes and feet (including the under surface). If a tick is found it should be removed immediately.

Your veterinarian can show you the best way to remove a tick. When removing a tick, avoid disturbing the body of the tick (don’t squeeze the body). Aim to remove the tick by its head at the point of insertion into the pets skin. A useful aid is a tick remover - a fork like device that slides either side of the tick without touching the body of the tick and removes the tick easily. If you find a tick, remove it immediately and take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. Remember to also continue to search for more ticks. Some dogs can be infested with many ticks at one time.

The Missing LinkThe results of a trial programme, Helping Children Achieve (HCA) conducted in the UK, were published this year. The aim of the trial was to investigate possible links between improved literacy and social behaviour.In Australia, researchers from the University of South Australia and Flinders University conducted a study in 2011 titled, Behaviour at School Study (BaSS). The UK study measured changes in student behaviour after parents participated in one of three different trial parenting programmes.

The Australian study surveyed SA teachers about their behaviour management of students.

Interestingly, the results from these studies suggest that improving literacy and engaging students in their learning may lead to improved student behaviour both at home and at school. Also it is interesting that the UK study focussed on the parenting of the student, compared to the Australian study focussing on the teaching of the student.

RelaxingIt is so important...When we are stressed our whole body tenses up. We may feel anxiousness and have disturbed sleep or just experience tight shoulders, a stiff neck or headaches.Some people may grind their teeth, which may result in jaw issues, or experience stomach disorders resulting in constipation or diarrhoea. Prolonged or severe stress can also affect your immune system, weight or mental health.There are many ways to deal with stress including yoga, meditation, a walk in the fresh air, exercising, or one of the many types of relaxation treatments. When we relax, our mind and body works more efficiently. Sometimes just a few minutes of ‘time out’ to stop and smell the roses is all we need.One treatment that is sure to help you relax is Bowen Therapy. While your body is being encouraged to ‘let go’ and normalise your mind is likely to follow. You will feel better both mentally and physically.

Welcome to this month’s Editorial of all things Real Estate. There certainly has been a buzz about town with the hosting of the G20 Finance Ministers event in Cairns. I had the good fortune of attending the Chamber of Commerce Lunch just before the Ministers arrived and was pleased to hear about the business opportunities available now and in the near future for businesses nationally, with our direct neighbours and on the Global stage. One of the most interesting was the “Tropical Education” Opportunities of which we are experts.

Over the last month we have seen the market slow up a little on the higher priced properties however buyer activity is still strong in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. School holidays, the Spring racing calendar and Winter Sports contribute to this.

I have had many calls from people asking for two sales appraisals, one based on the current condition of their property and the second one based on suggestions that I might have to improve their price and chances of selling.

October and November are one of the busiest selling times of the year in the Cairns Region’s calendar where transfer in people are preparing to bring their families to the area before the start of the new Year and many people want to be moved in, with their Christmas lights up, in time for Christmas Day.

This is why it is important that if you wish to test the market, now is the perfect time to get those jobs done in order to go to the market with your best foot forward.

Parties No Cosy Affair in the 1940'sInformation supplied by Mulgrave Settlers Museum.Holding a tea party is a bit of a novelty these days, but in the 1940’s, 50’s and early 60’s they were a staple of Gordonvale society.

They gave the women of the town the chance to socialize, share recipes and craft ideas. Wyn Gregory a long time local resident and says they were the highlight of the social calendar. Here is an account from Wyn Gregory.

It was definitely a different era back then. Girls were expected to resign from their jobs once they married and that left them free to be household help. Tea parties became the primary source of entertainment for housewives. There were many expectations placed on the tea party hostess and they were frowned upon if they were not adhered to.

For instance, if the hostess wasn’t dressed in her Sunday best and the food she’d prepared wasn’t up to scratch, she’d be gossiped about. For days before, the hostess would have thoroughly cleaned the house so everything was sparkling for the occasion.

There was also that little bit of ‘trying to out-do the last hostess’ going on as well. The hostess usually prepared a tray of dainty sandwiches, garnished with thinly sliced lettuce and there would be either pikelets or scones with jam and cream and often a luscious big cream sponge cake, chocolate cake, or a lemon meringue pie.

Tea cosies played a vital role in keeping the leaf tea hot at the tea parties, as the ladies tended to sit around the table and gossip and the tea would have quickly gone cold. The Mulgrave Historical Society and the Mulgrave Settlers Museum in Gordonvale, held their inaugural free entry Tea Cosy Competition in August this year.

The idea of the competition was to raise the public awareness of the Mulgrave Settlers Museum as a tourist destination and consequently the town of Gordonvale as a place to visit. Close to 100 tea cosies were entered and they included knitted, crocheted or any medium categories.

The Museum received great positive comments in their visitor’s book such as ‘excellent display’, ‘fantastic talent’ and ‘will be back next year’. The Museum plans to hold another Tea Competition next August.
