Nov 11, Remember this Sunday
It’s Remembrance Day in Australia, Canada, and United Kingdom, also known as Poppy Day in Malta and South Africa and Veterans Day in the United States. It is Armistice Day in France, New Zealand, and many other Commonwealth countries as that is the original name of the day internationally.
Whichever name, it is the day to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans and civilians in World War I, World War II, and other wars.
In 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After years of bitter war, an armistice was signed. The "war to end all wars" was over.
The observance is specifically dedicated to members of the armed forces who were killed during war,
King George V created it on 7 November 1919.
Remember with a prayer.

Dec 1, Cyclones – not if, but when
It’s only a matter of time until Whitsunday experiences another cyclone, according to the
Whitsunday Disaster Management Group (WDMG), and the key for this coastal community is
to be prepared.
WDMG Chairman and Shire Mayor Mario Demartini said many people now living in Whitsunday may not have experienced the frightening event that is a cyclone, but he stated unequivocally “the Whitsundays is a cyclone zone”.
“Cyclone season officially begins on December 1,” he said.
Over the coming weeks the WDMG will release further information about preparing for
cyclones, and on December 1 will stage a cyclone information session at Centro Whitsunday
Shopping Centre. Further information - Whitsunday Shire Council --

Nov 1, Bridle Path Project Meeting
Meeting Whitsunday Shire Library at Centro, Cannonvale, 7 pm Thursday November 1
Whitsunday Shire Council this week announced it is undertaking planning for a Bridle Path in
the Sugarloaf and Riordonvale area.
The proposed Bridle Path consists of a series of inter-linked circuit tracks, connecting with
Turner Road at the northern end and Gregory-Cannon Valley Road at the southern end.
Acting Chief Executive Officer Phillip Holloway said it is envisaged that the path would be
used by horse riders and pony club members, however there may be other potential users.
“We need to hear the views of local residents and potential users of this trial system,” Mr
Holloway said.
“It is vital we understand our citizens ideas, concerns and aspirations to ensure the path
meets community needs,” he said.
Council has commissioned consultants ROSS Planning Pty Ltd to produce a Master Plan for
the path.
The resulting Bridle Path Master Plan will consider a mix of facilities to encourage and
support use of the area by the wider Whitsunday community, reflecting the natural and rural
setting in which the Path will be located.
Council welcomes any interested residents to attend a community workshop to be held on
Thursday, 1 November at 7pm at the Beach Library, Centro Shopping Centre.

New UV Alert a reminder to keep safe from the sun
The Bureau of Meteorology now includes ultra violet alerts in selected
weather forecasts around Australia in a bid to increase community awareness
of the risks posed by exposure to ultra violet radiation from the sun.
Existing forecasts which include a UV Index will now include an indication of
the time of day that a UV Alert is in force.
For instance: UV Index: 10 [Very high] UV Alert between 9.30am and 5.30pm
According to the Assistant Minister for the Environment and Water Resources,
the Hon John Cobb MP, the expanded alert is timely considering that
Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world.
“These new warnings are a timely reminder to the Australian community to be
SunSmart, and to protect themselves from the sun during the most dangerous
part of the day,” Mr Cobb said.
UV Alerts are available in newspapers and some television and radio
broadcasts. They are also available in a range of forecasts issued via the
Bureau website at www.bom.gov.au
