Novel idea not smart for driver Marnie Turner Court reporter HOW do you move house when you don't have a car? This was the question facing a repeat disqualified driver last week and he came up with a novel but criminal solution to his dilemma. Lafaele Ralph Leota, 20, of Manunda, appeared in Cairns Magistrates Court yesterday be- cause he took a Ford Festiva for a test drive from a used-car yard on Mulgrave Rd, then used the vehicle to move house. He ran into trouble when – after leaving his identification papers at the caryard – he failed to return the vehicle and stole some petrol from a service station. Described as having an ™ex- treme fascination with cars , Leota already has been sentenced to jail more than once for disqualified driving. He found himself facing the same fate yesterday when Magis- trate Trevor Black sentenced him to a total of nine months' jail – six months for the latest offences and three months of a suspended jail sentence which had been hanging over his head. ™You're a young man and unless you overcome this fascina- tion with motor vehicles you will spend a considerable period of your life in prison, Mr Black said. Defence solicitor Rowan Silva said Leota was bound to get caught. ™He had provided full identifi- cation to the caryard owners . . . the same could almost be said about the fuel offence . . . as he did it in full view of the security cameras and went into the shop and said that he could not pay, Mr Silva said. ™It is almost a funny situation where he made no attempts to conceal his identity he's still not quite sure why he did it or the reasoning behind it.

Philip Henderson THE anxious wait for 1400 Far Northern school leavers is over with the release of this year's OP scores. The Year 12 school leavers received their Tertiary En- trance Statement, including their Overall Position, in the mail yesterday, with many sneaking a peek at their score on the Internet at the week- end. The scores, a ranking between one (highest) and 25, represents students' academic achievements over the final two years of secondary school. It is their ticket to tertiary study. Throughout the region, 293 students finished with an OP between one and seven, placing them in the top 25 per cent in the state. Trinity Anglican School was particularly proud of its senior students' achieve- ments, with six graduates receiving an OP1 and 12 per cent of the 82 students achieving OP2 or better. TAS deputy principal Mar- garet Kennedy said at least half of TAS students received a single-figure OP score. ™They're a very special group, a real team, Ms Kennedy said. ™They all wanted each other to do well and led the school by example in 2003 whether it was academically, in sport or culturally. St Mary's College graduate Nicholas Mehan resisted the temptation to log onto the Internet to see his score at the weekend, waiting instead for yesterday's mail. Both Nicholas and fellow St Mary's student Jarryd Pla received OP1s. ™I was pretty happy to get a one, and a bit relieved I guess as a lot of my friends had already looked at their scores on the Internet, he said. While relieved to receive an OP1, Trinity Bay's Donna Steel still has another anxious wait to learn where she will be studying next year. Donna will know in Janu- ary if she has been successful in obtaining one of 20 scholarships to study environ- mental engineering at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane. ™I don't know what I'll be doing yet next year, Donna said. ™I was pretty ecstatic though to receive a one. St Augustine's finished the year with one OP1 recipient and 25 per cent of its graduating class with scores of OP5 and better. Principal Brother Michael Green said many of the students he spoke to yesterday received scores two or three points higher than expected. Cairns High also had one OP1 student – Jon Long. Principal Trevor Gordon said the school was happy with its students' results. At Peace Lutheran College, 20 per cent of the school's graduates finished with OP scores in the one to five band. Queensland Studies Au- thority director Kim Ban- nikoff said the QSA would have staff on hand throughout Christmas to talk to students and discuss what options were available to them should their OP not be what they ex- pected.
