$5m to seal inter-highway link ◗ By Marina Gomide

THE SOMERSET region will receive a “huge economic boost” with a $5 million inter-highway connection upgrade at Fernvale.

The funding, announced by the Federal Government earlier this week, will go towards the widening and bitumen sealing of Somerset’s busiest gravel roads at Muckerts and McCulkins lanes.

Doing so will help reduce congestion and wear and tear on the road network by allowing heavy vehicles and other traffic to avoid the Brisbane Valley Highway, Forest Hill Fernvale Road and

the rapidly growing urban centre of Fernvale.

Somerset Regional Council Mayor, Graeme Lehmann, said the upgrade will provide a huge safety and economic boost for the region, reduce travel times and accommodate heavier vehicles and increased traffic.

Fernvale itself receives over 8,500 vehicles per day, and Muckerts Lane over 200 vehicles. “This project will construct an alternative to the State-controlled roads and link some of the fastest growing areas in our region,” Cr Lehmann said.

after head-on collision

THE Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue chopper was tasked to a motorbike crash in the Somerset region at 11.30am last Saturday on November 11.

It is understood the male motorcycle rider, aged in his 40s, lost control of the motorbike while he was rounding a bend and collided head-on with a fourwheel-drive.

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics,

Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) officers and the Queensland Police Service (QPS) were at the scene of the accident when the rescue chopper arrived.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and QAS Flight Paramedics worked together to treat the patient for serious leg injuries.

He was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

Veterans and Families Wellness Hub open day next week THE Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub in Caboolture will stage an open day from 10am to noon on Wednesday, November 22.

The event will bring together ex-service organisations, veterans, their families, and carers for a morning of connection and support. Morning tea will also be served.

The Hub was opened last month by the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel, Matt Keogh.

Mr Keogh said one of every 25 residents in Caboolture was a current or former serving member of Australia’s Defence Force.

Whether individuals are reflecting on their service or navigating the transition into

civilian life, having timely access to the right support can significantly impact their health and wellbeing, as well as that of their families.

With two organisations operating the Hub, Lives Lived Well Board Chair Damian Wright said, “The Hub is staffed by a team with either lived or learned veteran experience, who have begun fostering strong

connections with ex-service organisations across northern Brisbane.

“Whether you need a coffee and a chat, access to wellbeing support, or you want to meet like-minded friends, you’re welcome at the Hub.” Anyone interested in the open day is asked to RSVP by email at vwc@liveslivedwell. org.au by November 17.

Suburbs in need of bus funding A RECENT report issued by the McKell Institute Queensland has now confirmed south-east Queensland’s outer suburbs are missing out on vital public transport investment.

The new research has found just under 99 per cent of money spent on south east Queensland public transport projects is going into mega projects (projects that cost $1 billion or more) and all mega projects are focused on innercity areas and the Brisbane-Gold Coast Corridor.

McKell Institute Queensland executive director Sarah Mawhinney said more needs to be done to ensure the benefits of public transport are being spread fairly.

“High population growth areas outside of inner-city Brisbane are being all but ignored,” Mrs Mawhinney said.

“Given the high cost of building rail, the most efficient way to boost public transport accessibility in the outer suburbs is through stronger investment in bus services.

However, in order to provide reliable bus services the state government will need to raise the wages and improve employment conditions of bus operators.”

$5m inter-highway road upgrade ‘boost’ Federal funding set to provide safety and economic gains to Somerset ● FERNVALE ◗ By Marina Gomide

THE SOMERSET region will receive a “huge economic boost” with a $5 million inter-highway connection upgrade at Fernvale.

The funding, announced by the Federal Government earlier this week, will go towards the widening and bitumen sealing of Somerset’s busiest gravel roads at Muckerts and McCulkins lanes.

Doing so will help reduce congestion and wear and tear on the road network by allowing heavy vehicles and other traffic to avoid the Brisbane Valley Highway, Forest Hill Fernvale Road and the rapidly growing urban centre of Fernvale.

Somerset Regional Council Mayor, Graeme Lehmann, said the upgrade will provide a huge safety and economic boost for the region, reduce travel times and accommodate heavier vehicles and increased traffic.

Fernvale itself receives over 8,500 vehicles per day while Muckerts Lane over

200 vehicles. “This project will construct an alternative to the State-controlled roads and link some of the fastest growing areas in our region,” Cr Lehmann said.

Federal Member for Blair, Shayne Neumann, called the upgrade a ‘turning point’ for the Fernvale community, not just for connectivity but safety given the lanes are currently unsealed

and extremely narrow in sections.

There is also a gazetted road linking the two lanes that is unconstructed.

“With this $5 million Federal funding contribution, we’re able to help Somerset Regional Council improve their freight access through the Fernvale development area, so businesses can get on with delivering goods and

services more efficiently,” Mr Neumann said.

This project is part of the overall Fernvale South Productivity Link initiative, which includes widening and strengthening existing roads, to improve the area’s economy, productivity and safety.

Federal Member for Blair Shayne Neumann (third from left) with Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann (far right), Deputy Mayor Helen Brieschke (far left), and Councillors Kylee Isidro, Jason Wendt and Cheryl Gaedtke.

Brown, emphasised the importance of the Australian Government Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program (HVSPP), which is providing the funding.

“Investing in our roads heavily utilised by large vehicles has taken on newfound significance, particularly as many of our communities contend with persistent flooding and increasingly constrained supply chains,” Ms Brown said.

The Australian Government provides $65 million per year towards the HVSPP, which is designed to increase safety outcomes and productivity for heavy vehicle operations.

This funding is in addition to the Government’s $140 million commitment over 10 years for projects to build and upgrade heavy vehicle rest areas across the country.

Fatal crash, Caboolture

Local diabetes fundraiser raises more than $800 ● WOODFORD ◗ By Liam Hauser

NEARLY 30 people converged at the Woodford-based Tilney Park on Monday, October 30, to support Woodford resident Charlotte Collins in her quest to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

The fundraising event involved face painting, cookie decorating, raffles, merchandise and guessing the number of jellybeans in a jar, before embarking on a 1km walk which included a stop at Grind & Graze Co. Many of the attendees sported blue colours,

according to the colour associated with T1D. Charlotte also raised $258 from walking 8,000 steps each day in October, and she said this was “for the eight people diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes every day”.

The 11-year-old, who has lived with T1D for the past six years, said she was so happy with how the event turned out, with a total of $828 raised for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

“I was very happy so many people showed me their support,” she said.

Quin Michaels, Imogen Collins, Arlo Michaels, Charlotte Collins and Cleo Reynolds at the diabetes-related fundraiser in Woodford, organised by Charlotte.

A MAN died from injuries sustained in a single-vehicle crash in Caboolture last Saturday night.

Investigations indicate that a Holden Commodore was travelling west on Moorhead Street when it left the road and crashed into a tree.

The incident occurred at about 9.30pm.

Having been a passenger in the vehicle, a 38-year-old Wishart man was transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

He died in the hospital on the Sunday.

The driver was a 46-year-old Morayfield man, who was transported to the same hospital as a precaution.

The Forensic Crash Unit is continuing to investigate the matter.

This milestone is a major benchmark for the community bank and a tribute

“This 2023 dividend means that our branch has now been able to reinvest some $1.4 million across the Somerset community, through grants, sponsorships and dividends to our shareholders,” Company

PAGE 4 The Sentinel, Wednesday November 15, 2023

Chairperson Aaron Heck said.

This achievement is the result of a successful year within the branch, including but not limited to: 1. Branch opening on a Saturday morning to meet the customers’ growing needs, while other banks are closing their doors in

the region.

2. An ATM that continues to provide an important service to both locals and visitors in the region.

3. Meeting the needs of a diverse and growing client base.

Most importantly, Aaron said, “Our Bank team takes pride in building

relationships with their clients, helping them address their day to day, as well as longer term banking needs. This is especially valued, as many are having to deal with the concerns posed by online banking, talk of cashless societies and the ever-present threat of banking and online scams.”

The locally owned and managed Lowood & Fernvale Bendigo Community bank branch operates under a franchise arrangement with the Bendigo Adelaide bank.

New dates for Kilcoy Show DATES for next year’s Kilcoy Show were announced while Miriam Gittins was awarded Honorary Life Membership, as Kilcoy Pastoral Agricultural and Industrial Society members gathered at the Kilcoy Showgrounds last Sunday.

The members had a meet and greet with the volunteers, sponsors and donors of the 2023 Show, while other attendees included community members keen to be involved with next year’s Show.

After the 2023 Kilcoy Show was held on May 12 and 13, it was decided to schedule the 2024 show for July 26 and 27 to avoid coinciding with any other shows in the area.

The committee said this also meant more trade stalls, show rides, and the return of the woodchopping, Prime Beef and Stud Beef.

With the 2024 Show set to be the 101st for Kilcoy, the committee said there were a few other ideas that would be a huge asset to the Show.

Miriam’s award, meanwhile, came after she served as secretary from 1970 to 1980 and was an active committee member for about 30 years.

Upon receiving the award, Miriam gave a very positive and uplifting speech about her years with the Kilcoy Show Society. Two other positions within the Kilcoy Show Society were awarded to Trevor Wessling (patron) and Zandra Hollworth (patroness).

Cancer hair donation brings new look Sisters inspire others while raising funds for The Ponytail Project ● BURPENGARY ◗ By Marina Gomide

TWO Burpengary girls are proof anyone can help make the world a brighter place, one little gesture at a time, no matter the age.

Aged 9 and 7, Melody and Aurora Webber recently chopped off their waist-long hair to donate to cancer foundation The Ponytail Project.

After the two girls grew their hair out for two years with the sole purpose of donating it, their actions inspired the rest of their family to take part. Their mum Natalee, their aunt, uncle and nana all joined in.

Cancer is a bad disease and people lose hair because of the chemo and I wanted to make them happy.

Melody

“The girls just started campaigning to everyone they knew about what they were doing and why and trying to get others on board to join,” Natalee said.

Their efforts didn’t stop at family either, with the girls distributing flyers to their classmates at St Paul’s Lutheran Primary School & Kindergarten and creating an online fundraiser to raise money for The Ponytail Project. The girls raised over $1,200, having set a goal of $3,000. After showing up to school with their hair suddenly up to their ears rather than their waist, they were complimented

all around by friends, even inspiring some to look into the project as well.

“I was super excited when they were cutting it off and that we were going to donate to kids and I was going to make someone happy,” Aurora said with a big smile.

The girls’ own inspiration came after one of Natalee’s best friends died of cancer in 2021. This first exposed the little ones, then 7 and 5 years old, to the effects of the disease and what it does, including hair loss.

After seeing their mum watch a YouTube video of a little boy crying due to being diagnosed, the girls realised this illness wasn’t limited to adults and so they wanted to find a way to help.

After learning one of her school friends had taken part in the Ponytail Project, Melody found how she could help cancer patients.

She then got her sister on board and so their two-year mission began.

“Cancer is a bad disease and people lose hair because of the chemo and I wanted to make them happy,” Melody said.

The girls are also excited to be donating to the Kmart Wishing Tree - a yearly Christmas tradition for them - further showcasing their giving nature.

Both parents are very proud of how compassionate and selfless their daughters are, especially given their young age.

“We tried to teach them to think about others and that giving to people is better than receiving,” Natalee said.

“Kindness costs nothing.”

Both girls are happy with

Mum Natalee with Melody and Aurora

their new look, saying it has made gymnastics much easier and less hot by not having all that hair.

Melody wants to grow it

out to shoulder length as she misses being able to tie it up, and Aurora possibly wants to grow it to donate again.

● LINVILLE ◗ By Marina Gomide

THE small little village of Linville, hidden away in the Aussie bushland, is hosting its fourth annual Heritage and Arts Festival.

Endless trails, numerous hikers, cyclists and cowboys have been making their way to the old timber town for years. In recent years, however, the festival has also helped boost Linville’s reputation. Linville Progress Association secretary Carolyn Barker said the festival - Saturday, Nov 18 and Sunday, Nov 19 - has steadily grown in popularity every year, attracting over 2,000 people over two days, last year.

“While it started as a one-off to recognise the 110-year milestone of the railway opening, it attracted so much attention we’ve decided to continue it every

year, and start involving local art, as well,” Carolyn said.

“There are so many creative people in rural areas, who often don’t get to showcase their talent, so we decided to use the festival as a platform for them, too.”

The festival even attracts big Melbourne artists, with up to 20 creators attending this year’s festival and competing for the Linville Art Prize.

Owner of the iconic Linville Hotel, Tracey Diver, emphasised how essential tourists are for her business, since a hotel cannot survive on locals alone. Having the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail leading day trippers into town, as well as being part of the Somerset Country Pub Trail, has helped them have a successful peak season, but the festival has also been an important factor.

“The festival is a great way

Buy Angel Strings Orchestra tickets at https://cutt.ly/6wYENpaM to showcase our little village and attract more business,” Tracey said.

Like the railway, the over 100-year-old pub is a significant part of Linville’s history, since “without the hotel there would be no town”, especially today. Being one of only four businesses in town, it is the one most dependent on tourists.

Tracey emphasised the importance of small towns and business supporting each other.

“Owning a small business in a rural town is very challenging,” Tracey said.

“We always refer people to other villages and

businesses, as that’s the best way for the whole Somerset region to grow.”

Another positive from the festival is the Linville Community Garden. This little garden was initially created to drive attendance to the first festival, providing a place in town for attendees to sit and enjoy the festivities. In a twist, the colourful, sculpture filled garden is now a tourist attraction year-round. This year’s festival will also have Angels Strings Orchestra performing with an opera singer in the garden, having a $35 admission ticket.

The opening of the former

railway station 110 years prior put Linville on the map.

The railway opened the whole district, allowing it to go into various industries, like cattle and logging, which are still the backbone of the village today.

Linville Heritage and Arts Festival is taking place this Saturday and Sunday, promising a colourful art exhibition from up to 20 artists, a live chainsaw art creation, whip cracking performance, an art workshop, live music, BBQs and much more. The full program can be found on https://www.linvilleprogress. com.au/

Woodford commemorates Remembrance Day STUDENTS at Woodford P-10 State School produced a history display and an array of chalk art in the lead-up to Remembrance Day. Through RSL Queensland, the Woodford RSL subbranch supplied multi-coloured chalk for the occasion.

The history display in the school hall included walls of sketches, photos, newspaper

clippings and written descriptions of World War I events.

Woodford RSL sub-branch president Bob Patterson said he was “blown away” by the effort and results.

“It’s an indication that the children are learning about what their relatives were subjected to, by world wars,” he said.

Small business Minister speaking at network event QUEENSLAND’S Minister for Small Business Di Farmer, will be the guest speaker at Mark Ryan’s final Small Business Network Coffee Catch Up for this year.

They will be joined by over 100 local business representatives at Caboolture Sports Club on Friday, November 24.

Each month Mr Ryan’s Small Business Network

Coffee Catch Ups support a nominated local charity, with gold coin donations from attendees.

This month’s funds will go to Kindness for Kids in Care, who provide Christmas gifts and other support for local children and teens in care.

Entry is free but bookings are essential, and can be done by phoning 5343 5100.

Proceedings begin at 7am.

Real benefits of horsing around Mt Archer’s equine therapy ● MT ARCHER ◗ By Liam Hauser

THE addition of EquineFocused Therapy to the range of services at Mt Archer Allied Health Clinic has been very rewarding, according to the clinic’s owner Lynda Schultz.

A remedial massage therapist and a qualified Allied Health Assistant, Lynda said Equine-Focused Therapy was designed to improve the quality of life for people with physical, developmental and learning difficulties.

In addition to her usual therapy, Lynda broadened her horizons as she undertook an online rider training program titled ‘Applied Posture Riding’, which was designed by a physiotherapist.

When clients were in the paddock with the animals, the clients were safely exposed to a range of activities and challenges designed to improve coordination, muscular strength, problem-solving skills, balance and fine motor skills.

While the Equine-Focused Therapy can involve animals such as dogs, cats and chooks, Lynda has found that the most prominent animal is Torby the pony.

Lynda said with the use of a sulky cart, patients learned to steer, push and manoeuvre around bending poles, and move equipment and manipulate elements in their environment.

The clients help prepare the pony as well as interact with it on foot through races

and games. Lynda’s clients have included children with special needs, and an adult who suffered physical and mental injuries from a showjumping accident.

If the client has a selfmanaged NDIS plan, it may be funded by the NDIS. “The lady is now walking without a walking stick as she has been able to strengthen her core, which improved her pain

management, along with improving her mental health,” Lynda said.

As for one of the youngsters, Lynda said he benefited from so-called “play-based therapy” as the pony made all the difference.

“He can run 150m without falling,” Lynda said of the youngster.

“When he first came, he couldn’t walk two metres without falling.”

Musicians wow the crowd Singing and dancing the night away

One of the organisers, Lorraine Hagaman, said afterwards that it was a “brilliantly successful evening”.

“If you had been listening and not watching, you would have thought the real artists were in house,” she said.

“Think AC/DC, Aussie Crawl, Dragon, Joe Cocker, and you’ll get an idea of what these boys brought to us!

“Classic rock songs, brilliant musicians, incredible sound – what more can we say?”

Lorraine thanked the musicians, donors, sponsors, supporters and team for their contributions.

“Planning for next year is about to begin and we look forward to doing it all over again,” Wamuran State School chaplain Amy Head (right) with Tanya she said.

Former Kilcoy man takes part in Spanish chess event ● KILCOY

JUSTIN Turner, formerly of Kilcoy, won four of the first five games in the Under 2000 Division of the Benidorm (Spain) annual chess tournament.

There were 114 players entered in the Under 2000 Division (for which first prize was 3,000 Euro, equal to $A5,100), and 68 players in the Open Division.

Justin (son of the first owner of the Sentinel) had a terrible loss as he had the win in his grasp, but didn’t play the winning move because he missed one of his

possible responses.

“One of the best games I’ve played, up until then, because I got a bad position but managed to turn it completely around [before losing],” he said.

“The next game I won; last game to finish, four hours, against an unrated player. Crazy. He played just as well as the four 1950 players I’ve faced [the unrated player had beaten four other players].”

Justin, formerly a civil engineer in Brisbane and now a teacher of English as a foreign language, finished the tournament well by

beating in the ninth game a player rated 1915. “So I lost to three players rated above 1900 and beat two rated above 1900, and won all my games against lower rated players.”

Of the players level in fourth place on six points (of nine), Justin was the only one to have achieved six wins. He started the tournament ranked 34th and finished 16th on count-back. Justin was awarded 250€ for being fourth placed of those players who resided in Valencia State. Justin usually resides in Valencia, the State capital.

STATE Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington, has announced that round five of her Nanango Electorate ‘Year 12 School Leavers Bursary’ is officially open.

Mrs Frecklington said the $1,000 bursary was an important way she could support the region’s school leavers, as they make the next step in their education journey.

“It is always a major step for our Year 12 school leavers who must travel away for TAFE, university or other training and this bursary is one way I can help support them on their pathway to further study,” Mrs Frecklington said.

“The bursary aims to provide financial assistance with the costs associated with moving to their place of learning, tools, the purchase of books, IT or other necessary requirements.

Applications are due by January 22 2024, and are open to Year 12 students who live in the Nanango Electorate.

After the closing date, applicants will be shortlisted before the successful recipient is selected through a panel interview in early February.

“Over the past four years, the bursary has supported students undertaking study in the fields of teaching, optometry, IT and medicine and I look forward to supporting another young person on their career path,” Mrs Frecklington said.

To apply, visit www. debfrecklington.com.au and follow the link, or contact the electorate office on 4190 7100.

THE Wamuran fundraising music event generated ample community support on the night of November 4 as about $5,500 was raised while attendees relished what was on offer.

The funds will be shared between the Jackson Hepner Foundation and the Wamuran State School Chaplaincy, after the Wamuran Historical & Visitors Centre (WHVC) benefited from grants in order to stage the event.

Food and drink were consumed after patrons and supporters were well and truly ready to eat at 5.30pm, and soon they joined in with the line dancers when they took to the floor.

The line dancers continued to do their thing during the breaks between bands, after setting the tone early.

The musical journey

began with Ted Watson and ‘The Gambler’, followed by several other well-known ballads and some of his own originals.

There was a mix of soul and blues from Ted, who said he was influenced by Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan.

Never Two Late worked through ‘Rhiannon’, ‘Don’t Say It’s Over’ and other songs which kept the crowd enthusiastic, before the beat picked up as The Plumbdogs played a range of songs from the 1970s to the 2000s.

The dynamic sound, witty on-stage presence and banter from The Plumbdogs were too good to resist as the audience sang and danced the night away.

The crowd enthusiasm continued as Stone Lane closed out the night with ‘April Sun’, ‘Nutbush’, ‘School’s Out’, ‘TNT’, ‘Highway to Hell’ and ‘Born To Be Wild’, to name just a few.

KSHS Café

State High School An Independent Public School

OUR Year 10 Technology Food Design class students embarked on a culinary adventure this term, showcasing their creativity, teamwork, and culinary skills by running a café within our school grounds.

This hands-on project proved to be a fantastic opportunity for our students to put their knowledge and passion for food design into practice.

One of the highlights of this project was the incredible

variety of delicious dishes that the students prepared.

From cinnamon scrolls, vanilla cheesecake, churros, milkshakes, burritos, chicken carbonara, brownies,

chicken teriyaki skewers to scrumptious chocolate mousse.

Our Year 10 students truly demonstrated their culinary prowess, creating dishes that not only tasted fantastic but also looked visually appealing.

The café received great feedback from both students

to savour these culinary creations. It was an excellent opportunity for the students

techniques, and presentation, reinforcing the skills they have developed throughout the semester.

In addition to the delightful

showcased their creativity and artistic talents by decorating their marquees.

These colourful and inviting spaces created an enchanting atmosphere, adding to the overall café experience.

Thanks to Mrs Wadley and Mrs Doolan who volunteered to assist with the tickets and money. Thank you to Ms Marsh and Mr Wright who

helped with the marquees and Mrs Ludgate for assisting in the kitchen. Special thanks to their dedicated teachers Ms Plath and Ms Strong who guided and mentored our Year 10 Technology Food Design students throughout this project. Their expertise, support, and encouragement were instrumental in making this café project a resounding success. We appreciate their

future of our students and nurturing their talents. The café project not only enriched their educational journey but also brought a sense of joy and community to our school.

Rural Queensland beef sizzles in Shanghai ◗ By Melissa Thornton

THE best of Queensland beef has been showcased in Shanghai at the China International Import Expo (CIIE), the world’s largest import trade fair.

Choice cuts were prepared for canapes, sirloin beef rolls and mini wagyu burgers by world class

chefs for close to 80 guests, many who attended CIIE as Queensland delegates and exhibitors as part of the state’s largest business mission to China.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk was joined in Shanghai

by Queensland beef

producers and exhibitors including representatives from Australian Country Choice, Meat and Livestock Australia, Austrex, King River Ag, Paradigm Foods and Queensland Food Corporation.

products were showcased at the Taste of Queensland Reception, hosted by Trade and Investment Queensland.

The reception followed a meeting between the Premier and Shanghai Mayor His Excellency GONG Zheng and Vice Mayor His Excellency HUA Yuan.

The Premier used the meeting to discuss the successful sister-state relationship between Queensland and Shanghai and reinforce the government’s commitment to growing trade and investment with China.

Toowoomba-based Mort and Co chief executive officer, Stephen O’Brien, said China’s direct chilled beef imports have increased dramatically in the past decade, with Australia supplying the vast majority.

“The support from the Queensland Government and Trade Investment Queensland helps us to open new opportunities and remove current barriers to ensure China remains one of Australia’s largest chilled beef export markets.”

Australian Country Choice chief executive officer Anthony Lee said Queensland is Australia’s cattle powerhouse.

“Queensland excels in growing, value-adding and delivering the world’s best food and fibre to the global marketplace,” he said.

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) managing director Jason Strong said showcasing the very best of Queensland’s beef is a

priority for MLA and a perfect example of this was the recent Aussie Beef Mates partnership with Trade and Investment Queensland.

“Through the Aussie Beef Mates program, international chefs and food experts came to Queensland and gained deep insights into Australian beef production, empowering them to share this great story with their global networks,” he said.

“For the chefs that attended, there was no better way for them to embrace the essence of the Australian beef industry than by immersing themselves in the company of passionate Queensland producers and seeing first-hand the care and commitment that goes into producing this worldrenowned beef.”

Letters

Lines of communication

In response to the article in last week’s “Sentinel” regarding the location of the upgraded power line through Mt Archer/ Villeneuve, I note the last two paragraphs regarding Energex’s efforts to consult local residents and other landholders about the pathway to be followed.

As one of those residents in Westvale Road, I DID receive the introductory letter and, while I did not avail myself of the chance to comment to Energex, I DID note the offer.

Maybe other residents didn’t carefully read the said letter, or quite likely, didn’t bother to read it at all. Oh, and by the way, the route is NOT “up over Mount Archer” at all. It follows the side of Neurum Road and Westvale Road, except where it cuts a corner where these two roads meet, and from Westvale Road across an SEQ Water lease to the river.

Energex spent perhaps six weeks constructing a metalled roadway across from Westvale Road to the south bank of the Stanley River, so it should have come as no surprise, rather than as a sudden discovery of some secret plan, that the power line would follow approximately the route of this roadway. And Ms Frecklington has only just

discovered apparently that this is to happen?

As for the tall poles, they’re of concrete, and need to be tall to allow powerlines at the lowest part of the span to remain well above water level during floods, and sufficiently strong and well enough anchored to withstand the current of floodwaters that may be some eight metres above normal full storage level.

Ms Frecklington complains about the way in which (some) residents are concerned that these tall poles will “affect the visual amenity of the area”.

I wonder if Ms Frecklington is aware that, on at least six occasions I know from the last 40 years living in Westvale Road, following major rain events in the Maleny/Peachester catchment, it takes around 12 hours for the water to rise at the Neurum Road bridge, and then continue to rise up to six metres above the Neurum/ Westvale Roads corner, and that, when that happens the whole area is not only cut off, but that the trunk power line is also cut and we spend five or seven days without power, until the power can be restored.

Last week Optus went off line for nine HOURS. I wonder what all the

complainers will think if there’s no power to recharge their mobile phones for a week- NO Facebook; God, how will we survive?

We’ll be totally traumatised! If you want to live around Villeneuve/ Mount Archer, you’ve got two choices: live with high towers that remain in service, or do without your mobile phone for a week every couple of years, not to mention power for fridges, cooking and heating/ cooling. I know what my choice is, but no doubt, Ms Frecklington hasn’t bothered to think about that little issue.

Maybe Energex is a bit better informed that Ms Frecklington on that little matter.

Geoff Rees Mt Archer

Thank you for help I wish to express my gratitude for the help and support my son received during his medical crisis at the end of last year and start of this year. As a parent, I called upon many services and am forever grateful for their prompt attention to not just my son, but also me.

As you can imagine, there were many people and services involved and I am so thankful for each and every

one of them. It was a very upsetting time for both of us.

Having a son with a mental illness is no easy situation, but it was certainly made less stressful with the help and support from these incredible people. I am humbled by every person I had contact with, both verbally and in person. All were completely understanding of the situation and acted in a kind, caring and very professional manner.

Thank you to our 000 personnel, Kilcoy, Woodford and Caboolture police force and ambulance team, Caboolture hospital and emergency department, Kilcoy Medical Centre, Kilcoy Pharmacy, Kilcoy Complete Dentistry, Caboolture Mental Health, Caboolture Metro North Hospital, and a special mention to Caboolture Dental Group and Caboolture Private Hospital.

The great news is my son is now stable and has recovered from that time of his life. It is also a comfort to me, as his parent, to know I have their support and guidance should it be needed again in the future.

To my friends, family and neighbours: your kindness will never be forgotten.

Yours sincerely, G K Howard Villeneuve

EM AIL EMA IL H HENRY EN R Y S SOM OM ER SET SE T : he nr y s om e r s e t @sen henrysomerset @ s e ntt in ine eln lne ews.co ws .c om m .au .a u COMMENT

Henry Somerset If you are about to finish school or uni, your next job will probably have nothing to do with your career.

What you end up being good at, or can earn a decent living from, will most likely be very different from what you see ahead at 17 or 20 years old.

My parents wanted me to do accountancy on the basis that was a future skill in demand (this was the 1970s) and pushed me in that direction.

The only accountants I knew at the time were dull as dishwater in grey suits covered in dandruff.

And work on the family farm and contracting business looked crowded with other family members already out on tractors.

Any other job seemed like a good escape.

The term ‘gap year’ hadn’t been invented then, but effectively that’s what I did, following the harvest trail from picking grapes in outer Brisbane (the vineyards in Inala and Park Ridge are now covered in houses and part of the year our eating grapes come from California) to picking pears in Victoria to

rooting out rabbit holes in dry land South Australia.

If nothing else, you get a hardened body and meet a variety of interesting people.

The body beautiful didn’t last, but the impact of mixing with a vast range of people (from a conman who almost ripped off our wages to a large Irish family following the harvests in a double decker bus) stayed for life.

That was an important lesson in understanding and assessing people that’s been very important in life’s journey.

When my daughter did very well at school and was accepted into medical school, I insisted she do a basic job in the four months before tertiary studies.

She worked at Woolies in the fruit and veg section.

Again she got to learn about people, their motivations and reactions. She

does know most people can’t pick good fruit and veggies from a supermarket pile! More importantly she learnt better than most of her medico colleagues how to listen to and communicate with the ordinary folk who are now her patients.

Working in a job, any job, before making career choices is a critical choice in a young person’s future.

Lying on the couch and surfing social media might

Under My Skin All scientific spit and polish, and clear as mud Meet the Mistress of Understatement, Queensland’s forensic science chief Dr Linzi WilsonWilde.

“Perhaps I could have been clearer,” was her comment when asked about damning evidence she had given to the Commission of Inquiry into the catastrophic failings of an extraction method (Project 13) that has cast doubts over tens of thousands of rape and murder charges.

She told the first inquiry (you can never have enough inquiries), “I did not find any significant failings that would indicate the final results were not reliable.”

The second inquiry into Queensland Health’s Forensic and Scientific Services lab has, alarm-ingly, uncovered some horrible

thesentinel.com.au

truths, exposed Project 13 as a flawed process from the start that failed to detect significant DNA. Inquiry 2 also shone light on some “scientists” who refuse to admit they totally stuffed up.

This has been bureaucratic and political maladministration of the highest order — one of the darker chapters in Queensland Health’s, and Queensland’s, history of government. It makes the health payroll scandal look like an IT hiccup.

But if the good Dr WilsonWilde is becoming well known for understatement, her scandal-plagued facility’s website doesn’t mind polishing what is now generally regarded as a (rude word that rhymes with curd.)

When I last checked, the website proudly bellowed: “Forensic and Scientific

Despite all the futuristic projections that computers will rule the world and Artificial Intelligence will make all the decisions, write our exams and take our jobs, the reality is that the human brain is more active and adaptable than any collection of computer chips.

They have and will continue to take away some of the more boring parts of

work and living, but they’ll never beat an agile and active brain in a person who can work with and around other people.

That’s why getting out and about after school and mixing in any type of job, no matter how menial, with people you may not invite over for a BBQ and drinks is critical for career development.

Ask any people you admire how many changes they’ve had in their working life, and you’ll soon learn most have had plenty of twists and turns and ups and downs.

Nothing in life as as straight as the line produced by a computer projection.

Everyone needs a few failures, barked shins and embarrassing moments to learn how to cope with the vicissitudes of life’s grand plan.

I should add, the website was last updated in July 2021 but, even then, the lab was manufacturing and spreading “scientific” bullshit.

FOOTNOTE: This whole unbelievable chain of events was only uncovered because of a brave whistleblower and media exposure. And we still hear our government praising itself for being “open and accountable”.

Check this cheque I couldn’t decide if I should go on an overseas trip or invest in lithium shares after I received a cheque in the mail recently.

It was from The Lott. Yes, I had won and didn’t know it. The cheque was for $6.30.

I had actually won $9.40 but they deducted $3.30 for postage and handling.

Should I consult a financial advisor or plunge “the Lott” on another Gold Lotto ticket.

My luck seems to be in. I can feel a fortune coming on.

Only a squeak Word coming out of the Tower of Power is that the youth crime debate won’t feature highly in the Palaszczuk Government’s next State election campaign.

Strategists believe the fact that only a few hundred people attended the rainaffected Voice for Victims rally in Brisbane proved the majority of Queenslanders don’t rate youth crime highly on the list of government priorities.

They believe this was the

don’t look past some of the basics. As long as humans live on this earth, we will all need plumbers, for instance.

My mate who came dead last at school eventually got an apprenticeship as a plumber. Now with a couple of lively kids and a lovely wife he has, just turned 40, a grand house, a shed full of the flash boat and a fancy caravan, and a thriving business in unblocking drains and fixing taps.

Oh, and listen to your mother.

Mine was right. Eventually I spent most of my career, not being an accountant, but accountancy was critical to my jobs.

But having a few diversions along the way was just as critical.

Apparently when the Member for Thuringowa, Aaron Harper, branded youth crime protestors in Townsville as “rent-a-crowd” and LNP members, the Labor machine wasn’t too worried and have become even more emboldened since then, especially with the way they interpreted the Brisbane rally.

Some are advising candidates to “throw around plenty of platitudes but don’t bow to the loud minority because Queenslanders generally are not listening to them.”

Your temper could be short if someone criticizes your efforts. Romantic relationships should stabilize. Avoid being intimately involved with clients or colleagues. Your concern with older family members and those less fortunate than yourself will only add to your attractiveness.

Health problems may prevail if you haven’t been getting enough rest. Do what’s best for the people you love most. You could have a change of heart if an old flame waltzes back into your life. Investments that deal with property will be lucrative; however, upsets with family members may be likely.

You can change your living arrangements. You’re in the mood to party. Opportunities to pamper yourself may unfold. You may find that your documents are not in order.

Go out shopping this week. Concentrate on getting ahead financially and let your personal life settle down for a while. Social events will be plentiful.

Investments will cost more than you anticipated.

Travel and social activity will bring about interesting talks, not to mention contacts. It’s time you let your true feelings out. Listen, but don’t make any rash decisions. Be aware that minor accidents or injury may prevail if you are preoccupied.

You might find that a coworker has been two faced. New relationships will surface through work related events or groups and organizations that indulge in social events to raise money. You can make personal changes that will enhance your reputation and give you greater self-confidence.

Try not to lose your cool, and make your point known. Stay mellow. Don’t promise to deliver the goods if you aren’t positive that you can meet the deadline. You may not be that popular at home, but you should be able to shine at social gatherings.

You can come up with future trends in creative fields. Try to stay calm and do the best you can. Entertainment should include your whole family. You may find that lectures or travel will be highly successful.

Your added discipline will allow you to complete those unfinished projects.

Your lover may be annoyed if you have been flirtatious or not attentive to their needs. This will not be the best day to make changes or renovations to your residence. Make plans to do something special with friends or relatives.

Enjoy a quiet dinner for two and discuss some of the plans you have for the future. Pleasure trips will bring you into contact with new and interesting people. Avoid overloading your plate.

You can convince others to follow suit.

Your social activity should be conducive to finding love. You can accomplish a great deal. You may be in love this week, but who knows what tomorrow may bring. Concentrate on yourself or your work.

You may need a physical outlet that will help you relieve your tension.

Concentrate on your job. You will upset your partner if you have spent money on things that aren’t necessary. Get back into a routine that promises a better looking, more aware individual.

Sport Snakes deliver third straight win THE Caboolture Snakes women’s cricket teams achieved three consecutive victories as they won their respective encounters on home soil last Sunday.

In Tier 1, the Snakes won by just nine runs after making 6/161 in their 30 overs against Glasshouse.

Caboolture was reeling at 4/26 before 53 retired from Brianna Coffin and 32 not out from Natalie Baker set up a competitive total.

Glasshouse was 3/85 in the run chase, before the dismissal of captain Melinda Shelley for 32 sparked a collapse.

A last wicket partnership of 43 raised the possibility of a one-wicket win for Glasshouse, until Natalie Baker held a catch off her own bowling to seal the result with 23 balls remaining.

It was Baker’s second wicket after Tayla Buckley had taken one while Angela Thomas and Lex Turner took three each.

In Tier 2, the Snakes made 6/100 in their 20 overs before the USC Suns were restricted to 4/82.

Melissa Tallar, Laura Topp and Xiena Bevan made 17 runs each for Caboolture.

The visitors were unable to meet the required run rate despite Donna Mills’s 27 off 20 balls.

Gayle Mawer took 3/13 from three overs while Bevan captured 1/7 from four overs.

Brumbies crash out in two-dayer BRACKEN Ridge recorded a convincing first-innings win over the Burpengary Brumbies in the two-day cricket match at the Bracken Ridge-based McPherson Park.

Bracken Ridge declared its first innings at 4/306 on November 4, with Matthew Dart making an aggressive 118 and Keane White scoring a patient 84.

The Brumbies were soundly placed before crashing to 174 all out last Saturday, and then Bracken Ridge finished its second innings at 3/54.

Burpengary lost the key wicket of Stephen Helliwell late on day one, before starting last Saturday at 1/19.

The visiting team reached 1/86 before stumbling to 3/98, and then had a 60-run stand before the last seven wickets fell for just 16 runs.

Sam Cole (57), Jack Cheney (49) and Aston Helliwell (34) had a productive time with the willow before the innings fell apart.

Esk golfers and Lions raise funds ● ESK ◗ By Liam Hauser

MORE than 40 golfers and non-golfers were treated to a glorious spring day at the Esk golf course on the final Saturday in October as the annual Esk Lions Charity Day and Rob Hedges Memorial event took place.

With Rob having been a stalwart of the Esk Lions and a much-valued member of the Esk Golf Club, his wife Lucille helped organise the October 28 event while son Peter (a member of the Esk club) was among the competitors.

Most participants were from Esk, with Garth Wilson and Brett Farnham winning the 2-person Ambrose with a nett score of 61.25 while runners-up Garry Punch and Ian Timms had 64.

Winners of the mixed (golfer/non-golfer) prize were Scott Brown and Peter Lindsey with 64, while runners-up were Shaun Wilson and Glenda Lockett with 64.5.

After the game, players enjoyed a delicious made-toorder steak sandwich which was followed by a multi draw raffle with prizes mostly donated by local businesses.

As Esk Lions president and

Esk golf member Cameron Wyatt said, these businesses are doing it tough and are often approached for donations, but they usually find something extra to put towards a good cause.

Cameron said the course was in pretty good nick despite the dry conditions, and that the greens were starting to respond after major renovations.

Cameron said the highlight of the day was the presentation of a cheque for the green fees to the Esk Lions who will forward it to Cancer Research, together with the proceeds from the

Esk Golf Club president Luke Latter (right) presents a cheque to Esk Lions president Cameron Wyatt raffles and food sales.

“There are very few people whose lives haven’t been affected in some way by

cancer, so this donation will certainly go towards a cause supported by the whole community,” he said.
