The wonderful women who came before us built a legacy. Here Eileen Wilce now 99, cuts into the Centenary cake. Eileen was a member of Yungaburra for so many years. What a treat to have her visit!

We have provided an extremely large amount of Poppy services for the Veteran Community in the last couple of months. We want to remind the Community that all veterans are entitled to a Poppy service, Please remember to remind your family members.

POPPY SERVICES
As you prepare to lay your loved one to rest, you are not alone; we are with you.
Just let the Funeral home know that your family member was a Veteran.

Our Sub Branch and all other Sub branches can provide a Poppy Service to complement the funeral of a service man or woman. We consider it an honour and privilege to farewell those who served our country.
As part of a Poppy Service, an RSL representative will:
deliver a eulogy, detailing the veteran’s service
recite The Ode
sound The Last Post and Rouse
provide poppies for mourners to place on the coffin in recognition of service.
Any person who has served in the Australian Defence Force can be honoured with a Poppy Service.

They do not have to have been a member of the RSL.

Poppy Services are provided free of charge. They are one of the ways we honour servicemen and women for their contribution and support you – their family – through this difficult time. If your loved one was an RSL member, you can talk to their RSL Sub Branch about the possibility of conducting a Poppy Service. If they weren’t a member, or you aren’t sure, contact your nearest RSL Sub Branch to see if they conduct Poppy Services.

I certainly did not anticipate the post we published a week ago would have the impact it did.

In response, Marti has now admitted ‘multi-purpose’ facilities are planned for Atherton, Ravenshoe and Malanda.

Marti states that AFTER funding is obtained for the Atherton and Ravenshoe facilities, engagement will commence. So just to be clear consultation will begin AFTER funding is secured because the decision has already been made!

Yet again Marti (and TRC) fails to grasp what ‘consultation’ actually means.

Further evidence the ‘survey’ launched by Marti is just a disgraceful attempt at circumventing due process to justify the long standing plans of TRC.

Secrecy continues with council failing to release details of the lengthy list of historic buildings on the Tablelands that will be demolished and disposed of, under the rationalisation of assets policy that underpins these facilities.

TRC refuse to do so even when formally asked – as the true intent would create an unprecedented level of public backlash.

Instead, the misinformation, spin and secrecy that have been hallmarks of this council continue unabated.
