TCM and Cancer We are a society of cells that cooperate for the benefit of the whole, the self. Cancer breaks the rules of cooperation and takes over the organism without regard for the community of cells as a whole. All cancers share common traits, cancer cells differ from normal cells in two defining characteristics: they continue to divide in spite of natural constraints , which control healthy cells , and they leave their origins and invade distant tissues and establish new colonies or new tumours. Cancer is an ancient disease. There is record of the disease named “Tumor” as early as in the oracle bone inscriptions found in the Yin Dynasty ruins some 3500 Years ago. In TCM classic “ Huang Nei Jing”, there are also records of discussions on the symptoms & Owners & Therapists Laura & Jet pathogenesis of tumours, their causes & treatments. Chinese Herbal Medicine has been applied to the prevention and treatment of tumours since ancient times and it’s wisdom is now being demonstrated in laboratories & hospitals worldwide. My name is Laura Zhang, I’m a Naturopath and have also studied Chinese medicine , if you’d like to talk about the options available for Cancer Treatments come and have a chat, we are at 4b Jack street in Atherton.

To continue the tradition of bringing awesome musicians to town we have selected some tasty morsels for y’all to enjoy! New acts to add to the ever growing line-up of super talented artists include, the lyrical maestro Boover Banton (UK/Melb), who cut his teeth in the heyday of UK soundsystem culture in the 80’s where you could find him rocking the mic on his system Lion Heart, as well as guest appearances for Gemi Magic (one of the UKs biggest soundsystems of the time), and the globally-respected Naram (Melb/NZ) - obsessive reggae fan with a penchant for vintage dancehall, analogue synthesizers and ridiculously heavy bass lines. We also have some deep minimal bass from NSW beat technician Interval to be served up alongside the bass heavy, funk-laden mid-tempo breaks & glitch hop of Melbourne’s Staunch, Returning to Kuranda this year we are pleased to welcome the ultra smooth styles of Griff (Melb), the one and only Zennith, Roots favourites Die Rude, Brisbane’s loud & savvy dirty-funk-hip-hoprockers Schoolfight, as well as drumming workshops with Spankinhide’s Elliot Orr, and a host of cultural workshops with Gudju Gudju and more. They join our first line-up drop artists including all the way from the UK – Tippa Irie - Tippa emerged from England’s Saxon Sound International - the starstudded travelling sound system that has been at the forefront of the U.K. reggae dancehall scene for the past 25 years and helped launch the careers of artists such as Maxi Priest, Papa Levi and Smiley Culture. Tippa Irie remains one of the most requested Reggae entertainers internationally and is part of the new generation of British MC’s who developed the ‘Fast Talking’ style chat, which today can be heard in modern day rappers like Busta Rhymes. He has produced fifteen albums to date and has a string of number 1 hit songs to his credit including Hey Mama with the Black Eyed Peas (which was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Rap Song category). Also heading to Kuranda this year are the Brisbane based dynamic nu-wave brass band Bullhorn - seven hard-hitting horn players, one boss drummer and one monster MC. Their sound is born from a high-octane mix of funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz, reggae and dance music. The combination of their high energy shows, virtuosic musicianship and profound musical arrangements never fails to inspire and get the audiences moving on the dancefloor. We have so much more to tell you soon and we are super stoked to be bringing you the 11th Kuranda Roots Festival, in the amazingly beautiful site of The Billabong Kuranda.

Local artist to feature in ABC documentary Sarah Scragg from Yungaburra has just completed the half hour version of the documentary on local Tableland artist William T. Cooper. She followed his work for over a year as he created 30 new pieces for an exhibition that previewed at the Tableland Regional Gallery last year. Many of the works that you may have seen on the walls of the gallery evolve during the film, which is fascinating to watch. It is wonderful to have a world-renowned local artist team up with a local filmmaker to create a story from our region to share with the rest of the country - and the world. The early stage development of the film and a trip to Adelaide to an international documentary conference was funded through TRC’s RADF and Screen Queensland. The Conference proved highly successful with ABC acquiring the finished film which will screen on ABC1 on June 10. A DVD will also be produced as part of the project. With its additional micro stories and detailed technique explanation it will enable the audience to delve deeper into processes that are touched on within the film. With so many years of experience behind him, this is fascinating to anyone intrigued by the stories behind one of the worlds great wildlife painters. As an artist he wishes to share all he has learned over the years with anyone who may be interested. The DVD will be available from late July at the Tablelands Regional Gallery and online through www.williamtcooper.com.au or by visiting www. sarahscragg.com for further information. – TRC Arts on TRaCk, Image from www.williamcooper.com.au.

The weekend vibe is certainly a colourful occasion in Kuranda. The markets are bustling, the restaurants are pumping – locals and visitors are ready for another beautiful day in a rainforest paradise. Besides the popularity of travelling to Kuranda from Cairns by Scenic Train and Skyrail, it’s just easy for our neighbours of the greater Tableland region to jump on a local bus, maximize your day in Kuranda and allow yourself the freedom for your day to unfold! There’s so much to see and do in Kuranda that even with the most precise plan, anyone could easily be distracted along the way by local buskers, Aboriginal Art galleries, creative local arts and crafts outlets, market shopping, local scenic rainforest walks and abundant wildlife. Some fun local attractions you’ll find walking around Kuranda include the Butterfly release (usually at 11am daily) within the Butterfly Sanctuary, cuddling a Koala at Koala Gardens, personalised River Boat Cruises up the Barron River and plenty of self discovery walks in the forests around the village. If you’re on a budget - free attractions aren’t limited to rainforest walks and nature spotting - Kids absolutely LOVE getting their photo taken with the ‘blood tooth’ dinosaur out the front of the Dinosaur Museum on Therwine Street.

Strolling down Jum Rum Creek walk there’s even more local wildlife to discover! Local bats, housed at Kuranda Bat Reach, screech in delight as you walk past. The centre relies on local contributions of fruit for the bats and just like the Dinosaur Museum they graciously accept coin donations.

Celebrating 110 years of show history, It’s hard to imagine what the Atherton Show used to be like more than a century ago. Thanks to the Show Society, we can at least capture a glimpse by reading these interesting facts kindly submitted to What’s On by Show Manager, Jenny Grech. Atherton’s community formed the Barron Valley Agricultural Pastoral and Industrial Association in 1903. William Marnane was the first chairman, Thomas Rose was the Secretary and the Treasurer was Richard Harold Kingsford-Smith, eldest brother of the famous aviator. The Association hosted the first Atherton Show on 20th and 21st June 1904 on the site of the present showgrounds. The show has continued to be held annually except for in 1925 and in three years during World War 2 when the showgrounds were under army control. There have been a few other interesting people who have been involved in the Atherton Show, including Harold Collins, who was a local Shire Councillor, and later became Show President from 1923-24 and Show Patron from 1953-1957. He was also voted in as Member for Cook in 1935 and later held the seat of Tablelands until 1957. Controversial political figure, Vince Gair, who was Queensland Premier in the 1950’s, is listed as being a Financial Life Member in 1948 and officially opened the 1951 Show. The showgrounds have been improved over the years. A grandstand and oval were constructed in 1918. In 1934/35, ring lighting, fencing and seating were added. As a result of Army occupation of the showgrounds from 1942 to 1945, an igloo was erected on the site. After the war, the igloo was secured at a bargain price by the Show Society. This igloo has since been improved and expanded, and is known as Merriland Hall. It is now 110 years since the first Agricultural Show was held in Atherton, and the Show continues to hold traditional competitions in livestock and agricultural produce, wood-chopping, and handicrafts. Come along to the first Atherton Show Ball in years! Can you remember the last Atherton Show Ball? There has not been an Atherton Show Ball for many, many years. “We are not really sure what year the last ball was held, but the information we have suggests it may have been around 1988,” said Show Manager, Jenny Grech, “Some of our longest-standing volunteers can’t even remember the last one.” Atherton Miss Showgirl for 2014, Georgie Richards, will host the 2014 Show Ball on Friday June 20 in Merriland Hall, starting at 7pm. “It is going to be a great night,” said Miss Richards, “there will be a fashion show by The Dress and Beyond and live music from ‘Only 19teen’. There is no better way to celebrate 110 years since the first Atherton Show than a good party with great company and thrilling entertainment.” “We want as many people as possible to come along and make this night one to remember. Our big emphasis is on getting the community involved and taking the opportunity to show off a bit. We want to ensure that the Atherton Show is around for another 110 years but we can’t do it alone, we need to keep up with the times and make sure that we have plenty of appeal for everyone.” Tickets are $25 a person and children pay by age up to 12 years old.
