After battling breast cancer five years ago and going into remission, she was told last year it had returned and spread through her body. The paddling community has paid tribute to Atkinson following her passing, with Mooloolaba outrigger and women s coach Jenny Rasmussen sharing plenty of fond memories. She was just a positive and inspirational kind of person, Rasmussen said. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she d always have a go. (The word) Can t wasn t really in her vocabulary - it was just how am I going to do this . Rasmussen said Atkinson had been a member of the Mooloolaba club for almost 10 years, after joining from fellow paddling group Panamuna Outrigger Canoe Club.

In donating a 1949 Farmall Model H tractor to Cedar Bluffs Public Schools in 2018, it was the late Jack Nitzâs wish for the students to restore it and heâd auction it off.
Wanting for the students to be involved and see the project through, Cedar Bluffs SkillsUSA Adviser Garrett Zink came up with a different idea.
âWe decided that we would get the kids involved in selling raffle tickets and kind of promoting our tractor,â he said. âWe actually ended up raising more money than we estimated we would have at an auction.â
After more than two years of hard work, students at Cedar Bluffs, including the SkillsUSA chapter, finally finished the tractorâs restoration and had a raffle to give it away, raising $6,610 for the school.
