JUSTICES OF THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS FOR DECLARATIONS

Letter to the Editor As the next door neighbour to this submission and without any advice or communication from the owner/instigator, we happened on this information (map below). The crowded and below sized lots do not seem to be in keeping with Rural Residential rules as set by the City of Moreton Bay and for the benefit of all those choosing to invest and live in this beautiful area, and at great expense. I would think those living close to the proposed subdivision, if made aware, and those in Samford and surrounds, would not find any value or advantage in this proposal being successful, in fact, in my opinion, it would devalue our properties and chosen lifestyles. It was only by default that I happened across this information, it seems there is no requirement to make this submission public. I believe the submission needs to be made public for informed discussion ASAP as the submission seems to be going through Council at an accelerated pace.

Nominations are now open for two awards, which will be presented at the Christmas on Main Street community event, Saturday 2 December:

• •

This Edition:

Adult Volunteer Award; and Youth Volunteer Award.

The Adult Volunteer Award will be presented to a resident who has shown amazing commitment to this community, sharing their time and talents to help others. The Youth Volunteer Award will be presented to a young person in our community, up to 25 years of age, who has positively impacted others. Your nomination should clearly list the achievements and efforts of the person you nominate. All nominations must be in writing and received no later than Friday 17 November to: The Secretary, Samford & District Progress and Protection Association, PO Box 94 Samford, 4520, or email: secretary@ samfordprogress.org.au.

LOCAL NEWS AIRCRAFT NOISE UPDATE Airservices Australia has announced their next round of “Drop In” style meetings for Phase Three of their Noise Action Plan for Brisbane. Samford’s drop-in meeting is scheduled for Saturday 25th November, 8am - 12noon at the Samford Community Hub (SCHUB) on Mt Samson Road. This time around there are also four online sessions throughout the month of November. You must register your interest to attend a meeting. More information on session times can be found at https://engage.airservicesaustralia.com. Airservices Noise Action Plan Phase Three topics for this next meeting are: 1. Reduce concentration of daytime flight paths to the north-west. (Northerly Winds) 2. Night-time arrivals (all locations). Phase 3 is meant to offer respite via “noise sharing” for those communities that experience being overflown in both directions to and from the airport. In my opinion: Just like Phase 2, I don’t think Airservices have hit the mark in Phase 3 either. It’s great to see the convergence of incoming flight paths are going to be moved further north-west of Caboolture where aircraft will be much higher and a lot less disruptive. But providing two “noise sharing” flight paths down the eastern and western borders of our community is not going to create respite. Don’t forget Airservices offered an addition of FOUR noise sharing flight paths for Phase Two. Add these together with an additional TWO noise sharing flight paths for Phase Three. Plus, the existing TWO flight paths in service already. Therefore, Airservices will have access to EIGHT flight paths to noise share over our community.

SAPPHIRE WEDDING CELEBRATIONS Roy and Judy Thomas recently celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary. They were married at Scots Church, Shepparton, Victoria in 1958. They moved to Queensland in 1968, built a family home in Closeburn where they lived for 44 years, and have recently moved to lovely Samford Grove. Family celebrations were enjoyed with their children and grandchildren. Congratulations! How many flight paths will end up in service at any one time is anyone’s guess. That is why we have elected to call it NOISE SMOTHERING. The Brisbane Flight Path Community Alliance (BFPCA) completed a technical review with aviation experts who examined the noise footprint of an International Wide Bodied Jet Aircraft like an A380 or B777. On take-off, these aircraft are capable of leaving a noise footprint up to five kilometres wide from the engines on each side of their wings. Together with our topography and low ambient noise level, these noise sharing flight paths on offer will not meet their target of respite and a good night’s sleep, especially if you like to sleep with your windows open. Further

information can be assessed at https:// engage.airservicesaustralia.com Members of the Samford Area Aircraft Action Group (SAAAG) will be invited to an online Zoom Meeting (date to be confirmed) to discuss Phase Three via our Newsletter coming out shortly. If you would like to become a member, email us at contactSAAAG@gmail.com Special thanks to our amazing SAAAG volunteers working away in the background on various projects. Thank you to the Samford & Districts Progress & Protection Association for their invaluable support once again. Tess SAAAG

LOCAL NEWS

Presenting One of Brisbane’s Finest Live Music Acts Increasingly in demand, fresh from Brisbane’s International Jazz Festival and topping the Maleny Music Festival bill, Cigány Weaver are one of Australia’s most dynamic ensembles. And now, for our final show this year, we bring this fabulous sextet to Samford! Described by Triple J as “devilishly charming and playful”, like stumbling into a bohemian tent at a festival, their virtuosic and energetic live performances invoke everything from subtle toe-tapping to exuberant dance floor foot-stomping. Their music is a mixture of folk, jazz and classical, weaving together Eastern European folk traditions, French jazz and astonishing musicality. Formed out of a love for the legendary partnership of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grapelli in the French Hot Club Quintet, and with a nod and a wink to Sigourney Weaver and fine red wine, Cigány Weaver has a dedicated following around Australia. Their sound is reminiscent of jazz Manouche, traditional swing and Romani music. At the centre you find front woman Jo Davie - graced with jazz sensibilities, exceptional vocal technique and a fouroctave range. Jo’s soaring vocals and enchanting gentle demeanour combine with fiery violin, dynamic guitars and a driving rhythm section to create a purely acoustic group that effortlessly navigates the musical nexus between intimacy and raucousness. Cigány Weaver are 2023 National Live Music Awards nominees, and their brandnew single Horatio Hornblower is out now.

Don’t miss this musical tapestry of traditions – as Samford Live finishes 2023 in style! What their fans say: “To say they went over well would be like saying ‘Einstein was quite good at maths’”… ”Awesome gig at the BIJF, so enjoyed you all”. And the critics: “The sextet works together with the ease of years, but the passion and the freshness that they bring to their music is captivating.” Theatre Haus SATURDAY 25 NOVEMBER

With just four weeks until Christmas on Main Street – 2nd December, the Samford Community Singers are busy refining their choral program for the event. We will sing in the RSL grounds soon after the Opening Ceremony, scheduled for 5pm. Following that, we look forward to joining other singers on the Community Bank Samford stage at John Scott Park. We will also be singing at some local Christmas functions in December. Let us know if your organisation would like some Christmas singing at your function. I’m sure you’d enjoy our ‘Wacky Family Christmas’. After this, our singing year comes to an end. Wishing you all a jolly Christmas. We will resume in the new school term. Do consider joining us.

LOCAL NEWS Samford Farmers Hall Association Inc PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2023

With 2023 all but consigned to history, the Committee and I remain enthusiastic about the successes and near misses we have had this year and look forward to the opportunities and activities 2024 will bring. With COVID19 implications mostly behind up, we have worked steadily to reinvigorate the community’s involvement in activities at the Hall, from yoga, to fitness classes, to theatre, to martial arts, to acting lessons, to dance and of course to church. It is exciting to have the Hall back in full swing and looking great. For this, we thank the Samford community for their continued support. Further, we also want to highlight our ongoing and rewarding relationship with SPADEwerx Community Theatre. Their productions this year ‘The Hollow’ and ‘Calendar Girls’ were very successful and add that important piece of character and theatre to the Hall. We thank them, particularly David and Jo, for their continued enthusiasm and energy and look forward to next year’s shows. Our key milestone for 2023 is that we are now online - just tap in Samford Farmers Hall and we are at https://samfordfarmershall. org.au. Our great thanks to Community Bank Samford (Bendigo Bank), who provided fantastic support with a grant to help launch the Farmers Hall booking and information system into the 21st century. Now, you can make bookings, see our calendar and availability and review the facilities and options for functions and hiring. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the patience and assistance of Becky Downey at Digitalo. She supported our team of Annie Johnson and Ted Parish, as we went from crawl to walk along the website imagination and construction journey. Thanks all, great job. Our 2023 report would not be complete without highlighting local Member Darren Grimwade and Council’s continued efforts

to work with us. Our current task is to reinvigorate Council’s gardens around the Hall and along the new carpark at the back. This is a separate project from the Main Street initiative as Council delayed these works in order to finalise plans for the new carpark and the Hall and its surrounds. In conjunction with this, the Hall committee are also working with SPADEwerx and Native Plants Queensland Samford Branch to create a new garden at the front of the Hall. Our goal is to open up the Hall’s historical façade so all can continue to enjoy and be proud of the Hall’s prominence in Samford’s streetscape and its role as a wonderful community facility. The Hall committee are all volunteers. Volker Jahnke and Rob Hutchinson are long

serving members and Annie Johnson, Jo and David Roberts, Ted Parish and myself as President round out the team. Of course, if you have the time and energy and want to help us maintain the Hall’s character and relevance going forward, please come to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Hall at 6.30pm on 7 December 23. Thanks also to the Hall’s bookings officer, Joan Cullen who works tirelessly to support the Hall Committee and the Samford community. In conjunction with the website, for information on the Hall or for booking enquiries, Joan can be contacted on 0422 054 378. Thank you. Don Cousins, AM, CSC President

LOCAL NEWS Samford Seniors Month Celebration Samford Seniors Month was celebrated at the Samford Community Hub (the SCHUB) on Friday 26 October, to give seniors an opportunity to explore a range of groups and activities that enrich life in Samford, and to connect with old and new friends. The morning tea on the veranda was scrumptious. Organised by Tanja, Dee and Melissa of Meals on Wheels Samford, and Karen, a dedicated MOW volunteer, the event made everyone feel welcome and valued. The stands were always busy. Hopefully CONNECTFEST will become a much-looked-forward-to annual event. Meals On Wheels not only provides nutritious, inexpensive meals for those who need it but also, through their volunteers, links clients to friendships and opportunities beyond their doors. Contact on 0409 920 824 if you are interested in receiving meals or volunteering. Always behind any event which offers a chance for seniors to socialise is the Samford Support Network, bringing those who can no longer drive to be part of the

occasion. SSN volunteers were there to gently help those who needed it, bringing their lovely clients out for the day, to connect at the SCHUB. The Rotary Club of Samford Valley offered friendship through community service for professionals and retired professionals, along with stimulating discussion and speakers. Rotary’s contributions to Samford abound, e.g. The Rotary Station stage at John Scott Park. Ever involved, even at this event, ideas for future projects flowed. Samford Country Women’s Association (CWA) soon dispelled any misconception that superb cookery and handcrafts are its only claim to fame. As part of the state’s largest women’s organisation, the CWA offers a diverse range of activities, including advocating for women through campaigning on relevant issues, and fundraising for crisis funds, and scholarships. Contact 3206 1219. For those who love cards, Cards @ the SCHUB is on Mondays of weeks 1, 3 and 5 of each month between 11am and 3pm. BYO snacks. Contact June at nowhiskey53@ gmail.com. The added bonus is the great book discussion. The Mitchie Day Club hosts a range of activities every Wednesday between 9.30am and 1.30pm. Contact Bev Bell on 0423 178 504.

For the crafters, the Charity Craft Creators (under the umbrella of Samford Lions), do an extraordinary amount of work for DV victims, hospitals, the homeless making quilts, toys, clothes, quilts, rugs and beanies. Contact Colleen on colli_64@ outlook.com. Healthy bodies are vital as we age. Enhance PT offer a great 55+ Joy Class of low to intermediate intensity on Mondays and Fridays for $10. Contact on 0434 401 750. Ruth Campbell offers a FREE Chair Yoga class at the SCHUB on the second Friday of month at 3ish. Cuppa and Chat at 2pm. Check the Friday’s at the SCHUB article to see what it offers each week. Across the month, there are crafts, a writers group, games, free chair yoga and a discussion group. Everyone is welcome. Some people who live alone may face a time when they may need help to access support services. Footprints Community can help. To check out what they do, go to footprintscommunity.org.au. Tanje Ungerer of MoW said, “We would like to thank everyone that was involved on the day with a special mention to the Samford & Districts Progress & Protection Association for letting us use the SCHUB free of charge. We are looking forward to another Seniors Event in 2024.” Julie Martin Picturd: Tanja and Dee from Meals on Wheels at the MoW stand

LOCAL NEWS Bird survey On 28 October our birdwatchers recorded 64 species during the month survey at the Eco-Corridor following the usual route. They were thrilled to get good views of a Russet-tailed Thrush foraging along the Eco-Trail on the outward leg and a few Brown Quail in a similar spot on the return leg. Noteworthy flyovers included two Great Cormorants and an Oriental Dollarbird. A Pale-headed Rosella was inspecting a hollow in a dead Silky Oak

along the edge of the remnant, probably as a potential nest site. Full details can be found on eBird.

Bushcare Our final Council-supported bushcare session for the year will be held on Sunday 12 November from 2pm to 4pm. We are hoping for a big turnout of volunteers to get the site in great shape before the summer break. Despite the dry conditions, various invasive weeds are spreading relentlessly and will once again be our focus. Afterwards, we will enjoy refreshments kindly supplied by the SDPPA and reflect on the year’s achievements. New volunteers are always most welcome. Visit the EcoCorridor Facebook page to find out more about our group. Peter Storer

On behalf of the Wesley Hospital Choices Cancer Support Centre, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in the fundraiser morning tea held at the Samford Bowls Club on Monday 23rd October. 90 guests raised $3,018 for this very worthy cause. What a fantastic effort! Thank you to the ladies from the Samford Bowls Club setting out all the tables and my friends for providing the delicious morning tea. Thank you to my friends

who modelled the beautiful clothes for the fashion parade, provided by U & I Designs. I would also like to thank several businesses for their generous support. The Famous Samford Patisserie, Spokes Café, Samford IGA, Seasons Organic, Nikki Boyd, Samford Patchworkers, The Leisa Tree, Samford Village Laundromat, Kakadu Organics, The Rusty Bucket Floristry, BWS Samford Village, Tracy from the Samford Bowls Club and U & I Design. A special thank you to Jo the owner of Samford Design & Print who did the artwork for our advertisement and to The Village Pump for supporting this event every year. Once again, thank you so much to everyone who supported and helped make this a very successful and most enjoyable event. I could not have done this without you all. Well done!

LOCAL NEWS Samford Museum

Grovely Railway Station to Samford Museum’s War Memories Grovely Railway Station in Dawson Parade served the surrounding suburbs from 1961. When it was time to move the old station and make room for a newly erected and very impressive station, an expression of interest to purchase the ageing station was made by the Samford Museum. This was as early as 2005. In May 2007 it was reallocated to its new home, The Samford Museum. Hoping for a grant, the museum was disappointed to learn none were available. Two members from the State Government came to our aid and before long the relocation of the station was on the relevant site. This is when the hard work began. With funds from the “Young for Old” group, our volunteers worked restoring the building and the construction of the platform for almost eighteen months. An additional Queensland Government Q150 Grant of $10,000 permitted the museum to set up the diorama presentations exhibiting

many sides of military service. Many hands make light work and this was certainly proven when many talented and valued volunteers within the museum, as well as outsiders, worked tirelessly to achieve their aim. A massive collection of relevant memorabilia started arriving as word of the project spread. Many overviews d i s p l a y e d re-enactments depicting scenes from WW1 through to Afghanistan today. Air Force and Naval uniforms are displayed proudly. Photos of the many young men from the Samford area were added to the showcase, all with the appropriate information to the battalions in which they served. With generous support from many local businesses, The Samford Progress and Protection Assn Inc along with generous help and assistance of many of the

volunteers, 8th November 2009 was the official opening of the Samford Museum’s War Memories display. Lt. Col Simon Hardy of Gallipoli Barracks Enoggera performed the official opening. Learn more about this amazing display when you visit the Samford Museum, 19 Station Street, Samford Village, just behind John Scott Park. Groups welcome. Open Wednesday and Sunday 10am – 4pm.

LOCAL NEWS Learning and Teaching for Life Radana (Radi) Tucker is not only open to trying new things, she’s keen to share the benefits of her skills along the way. As Samford’s local teacher of piano, table tennis, yoga and Pilates, as well sharing her skills in hypnotherapy and counselling, Radi is well-known in the community through her various endeavours. Her love of learning has turned to teaching after she became proficient in each different interest. Most of Radi’s classes are taught from her Highvale premises which includes a professional table tennis set-up in a highceilinged, airconditioned area with sports flooring and a competition table. Originally from the Czech Republic, Radi lived in England before moving to Australia in her thirties, when she took up table tennis seriously. “I got a coach and I started training and was playing seven days a week because I loved it. I liked playing table tennis when I was a kid and when we moved here, we had some space in the garage and I thought it would be a good sport to do here, so my husband bought a table tennis table.

a few weeks we upgraded to a competition table,” she said. Radi’s dedication to her new sport paid off, making the Queensland State Table Tenis team in 2020, however due to the travel demands and COVID restrictions at the time, Radi declined the position to stay near her children. Her killer serve can still be spotted on the local table tennis tournament scene. “Table tennis is like sprinting and playing chess at the same time; you have to think and move very fast. It can get very aerobic but there is a lot of strategy.” Radi also enjoyed practicing yoga and Pilates herself, leading her to become a teacher in these fields in order to help others experience the activities’ benefits. “It’s very good for relaxation, to quieten your mind and for breathing. Yoga builds strength and balance as well.” As well as teaching small classes in Highvale, Radi also teaches yoga in John Scott Park on Sunday mornings at 9am as part of Moreton Bay City Council’s Healthy and Active Program. Her journey into hypnotherapy started from an initial course in the Czech Republic, practicing a technique that relaxes participants so their

conscious mind doesn’t interfere with the change that a person is reaching for. Radi then progressed to an Advanced Diploma in hypnotherapy and counselling after visiting a hypnotherapist herself who she found extremely helpful during a stressful time. “I’ve practiced hypnotherapy with so many people in the Samford area now and have been practicing for six years now,” she said. With a Master’s degree in music and pedagogy, Radi is also known to many in the area as a piano teacher. Over the 26 years, she has taught the instrument to both children and adults across three different countries. Always on the lookout for something new to do, Radi is now learning dance, particularly salsa, Dominican Bachata and Brazilian Zouk. She has taken this new hobby up in her own intense learning style, turning up to five group classes and two private lessons each week. “I take things seriously. When I learn something I want to learn it properly,” she said. It may not be long before she is leading others in how to do the break step too. www.samfordpiano.com www.samfordtabletennis.com www.spiriteducation.com.au Tanya Hall

Samford Area Mens Shed Who’s Who @ SAMS Meet Gibbo! He’s from Adelaide, via Melbourne, poor thing. But the good news is, he’s living the highlife in Highvale now, dreaming of racing his souped-up ride-on mower around the Lakeside Go Kart circuit while the wind whistles through his hair and the crowd cheers him to Victory and Beyond. Practicing in the back yard just doesn’t cut it anymore, he reckons. We thought he was talking about the grass. He’s always been the outdoors type, which explains why

he was roped in to take charge of SAMS’ garden, gutters, grass ’n’ gravel gig. When we do let him inside though, he happily potters about, harvesting pots of colourful paint and busies himself putting brush to canvas during our weekly Art sessions. By the way, if you hide behind his easel and listen very carefully, you may catch him announcing to no-one in particular, “You wouldn’t be dead for quids, hey.” Surprisingly, he has been known to seek attention by casually raising the topic of his promotion from Valued Member to Head Gardener at a notable and popular Men’s Shed, but it’s peanuts compared to his youthful years when he reluctantly became the #1 Male Model (aka Pinup Boy) for the sales brochures of South Australia’s leading department store, John Martins. It grew into

one glamourous side hustle that lasted a whopping 3 years and paid more than his regular job, thank you very much. Be sure you keep an eye out for him in SAMS’ 2024 Shedmen’s Calendar! A keen golfer, Collingwood supporter and retired tennis player, he often takes time out to relax on the veranda, cold beverage in hand, basking in the hopeful knowledge that one day his incredible life story will be told in a prestigious magazine with widespread distribution and a discerning audience. Wait no longer, Gibbo, you’ve finally made it. Challenge yourself to visit our website - samfordshed.org.au, send an email to samssecretary1@gmail.com, or admire our outdoor panorama in person at 39 Showgrounds Drive, Highvale, next to the Showgrounds entrance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Everyone had an amazing experience putting on Calendar Girls in the Farmers’ Hall last month - and from feedback our audiences had a great time too. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us. Not only did SPADEwerx-ers have a great time, but we also made a profit which will be split with donations to both Bravery Box and Samford Support Network. We have so many people to thank – our tech and stage crews, our front-of-house crew, our actors, our new director, our raffle maestro, our calendar-collation team, and other users of the Farmers’ Hall who tolerate our temporary takeover of the stage. Another group we have to thank are the local businesses who donated fabulous prizes for our famous show-stopping (literally!) SPADEwerx Raffles!

CITY SWAP FOR SAMFORD Samford R DA recently hosted a group of corporate volunteers from Lendlease who swapped a day in their city office for a day working outdoors in beautiful Samford Valley. The enthusiastic group of workers carried out a range of grounds improvements at the RDA centre at Samford Showgrounds. It was a very productive day which included moving mulch, weeding, planting, topdressing a paddock and compacting horse yards. Samford RDA thanks all those who participated and worked so hard. The centre looks wonderful for the final month of RDA sessions for the year. A big thanks also to AZA Equestrian who recently transported the RDA horses from their holiday paddock back to the centre.

Samford Bowls Club Competitions. The 2023 Ladies 2 Bowl Triples final was played on October 25th. The winning team this year was Jan Williams (lead), Andrea Rhind (2nd), Janice Ridley, (Skip). The opposing team was Marilyn Slawson (lead), Mary Cichowski (2nd), Lesley Maher (Skip). Well done ladies. The Mixed Pairs 2023 winners are husband and wife team, Di and Peter Wilson. They had some very tough competition against another popular couple, Lesley and Barry Maher, who fought hard but unfortunately went down by two. Both teams kept the club members watching every end with much anticipation till the very end. With the support of a Local Community Support Grant provided by City of Moreton Bay, improved lighting has been installed between the two greens and along the front of the club house. This support from our Council is much appreciated. Village Barefoot Bowls, coordinated by Allan Svensen, has reached the middle of the current season. There are 28 teams (112 players) on the green which is the maximum that we can play. Leading the

charge are the Nomads, followed by the Chalmers Mob and The Battlers. Much encouragement is being given to the team ‘To Be Advised’ who are all new players to the game with no previous experience. With the season finishing on 30th November, Allan is expecting the lead to change dramatically down the track. Every Monday, Barry Maher gathers his team of veteran bowlers (over 70 yrs) and they head off to try and bring home the prize money at the Veterans Fraternity competition day of bowling. 28 teams (112 players) fill the greens at the chosen club for that week. Fifteen clubs are visited during the year, including Samford who will be host on Monday 13th November. Some of the many clubs are Northern Suburbs, Scarborough, Windsor, Hamilton, Aspley, Geebung, Gaythorne, Bramble Bay, Kallangur, and Toombul. Prize money for the day is $460.00 divided between first and second teams and winners of the morning and afternoon sessions. Novice players. A novice player for the Brisbane District is a player of 4 years or less experience for both men and ladies. They are no longer eligible as a novice once they have won a novice competition. At State level, it’s two years. We invited all

of our newer novice players to join us in a social afternoon of bowls on Saturday November 4th. Most of our novice players begin their bowling career playing in our social Tuesday morning group to build confidence and gain experience but are encouraged to participate in all areas of the club. They may be called a novice, but all are well on their way to giving our more experienced players some competition. Enquiries. info@samfordbowls.com.au Janice Ridley

Another year has almost passed by which means another AGM is due. A short AGM will be followed by General Meeting at the Samford Scout Den (62 Cash Avenue North) on Tuesday 28th November, with a start time set for 5:30 pm. All are welcome. Despite the disappointment of finding the long-term damage caused to book cases and shelving following February 2022 floods and another storm that severely damaged one of the storage sheds, progress continues. On the home front, all categories of Fiction, plus Poetry and Classics have now been sorted and shelved inside one container. All the additional fiction books gathered over the past three years took some time to sort and incorporate into the existing book collection. The number of Australian authors in the book collection has grown considerably! The Children’s section is now also expected to have all shelving set up and books on shelves by the end of November. Needless to say, all helpers are ecstatic to finally see light at the end of the tunnel, after so long and so much hard work! Sorting of non-fiction in Container 2 has also had some sorting completed. By Christmas, the “new” storage shed shelving will also be up and filled with books set aside for: For Sale/donations for other NFP groups; toys; jigsaw puzzles and games; CD’s and DVD’s; as well as the small amount of up market Bric a Brac. Many thanks to Kath from Brendale, and Angela Stanton from Dayboro, for their very generous donations of metal shelving sets. The shelving gives another first, in all boxed items able to be neatly stacked off ground level and boxes easily identified. Lastly a big thank you for all the local and outside community groups who have provided such wonderful letters of support as CLS continues along the path of finding a place to call home.

OUT & ABOUT Brookies Samford Grand Re-opening Friday at the SCHUB By Giving We Receive Each Friday afternoon a diverse group gather at the SCHUB at 2ish, to share coffee and conversation and to get that warm glow by helping others. At first, nobody knew anybody else. Now strong, supportive friendships are growing. Behind the friendships is a commitment to help others. New people are always welcome. Over the year, working with Lions Charity Craft Creators, busy fingers have made rugs, scarves, beanies, clothes, toys and many other things to help folk having a tough time. The Friday group has no budget, is informal and relies on gifts of wools, craft materials and ideas from our generous community. Each Friday of the month has a different focus. Ruth is giving her time to lead Chair Yoga on November 10; Lucy, Judy and Wendy will lead Crafting Kindness on November 17th; and Jenni will stimulate our brain cells on November 24th with the Good Stuff Ideas Forum’s discussion of Silence. Both Ray and Jenni give us music often and Ray brings board games. Neural evidence from fMRI studies suggest a link between generosity and happiness in the brain. Research has found doing good, in ways big or small, not only feels good, but also does us good. The well-being-boosting and depressionlowering benefits of volunteering have been repeatedly documented. So join us. Your talents and good company are always welcome. By giving we receive.

On Saturday 2nd December from 10am2pm, Brookies Samford will be having a grand re-opening and everyone is invited. There will be FREE face painting, a sausage sizzle, popcorn, Urban Reptile display, promotions and a chance for customers to chat with some of Brookies wonderful suppliers. You can also pre-order a real Christmas tree to collect on the day. If you haven’t been in to meet the new owners, they’d love to meet you.

Sunday was a magic day for cricket at Highvale – sunny, occasionally overcast, and cool. With regulars missing from both teams, new faces joined the brotherhood that is Chronicle cricket. Well, technically ‘brotherhood’ is not true anymore, as I believe Chronicle witnessed a first – women playing on opposing teams. It is long overdue and wonderful to see – thank you Laura and Susie for creating this milestone. ‘Busted Hammy’ Benny Winn relinquished his spot, and somehow I became stand-in captain. I lost the toss and Duster didn’t hesitate to put us in. Kane was slinging rockets while Duster kicked off at the other end. Openers, Kev Crawley and Jack McCullough cracked a few fours. In his second over, Clint tweaked his hammy, so coming off a few slow steps, he clean-bowled Kev. This brought Brendan MacDonald to the crease, and the ‘Macs’ attacked with good hitting and running. Dean Baker bowled some tidy overs replacing his bother-in-law Clint, and Kane saw out his overs. Then Todd came on. Normally an offspinner, he threw down a leggy with his first ball that was dead set on the money cleaning up Jack for 21. Two balls after the break, Todd struck again rattling Robb Topp’s wickets. Out strode newcomer, 14-year-old Raj Keeney, and played some delightful strokes until caught for 3. A few runs later, Brendan fell for 21, and Nick McDonald snared his second wicket. Dayboro seemed to lose their way after that, with myself Rangers hitting a ball straight to Tony Albrow for an easy caught and Dayboro bowled and Mark was run out. Cowboys Paul Knight and Laura Topp Mongrels batted out the innings leaving Samford Stewie and Boyd in the shed. Village Note, Laura Topp highest score People for the Topp family. The innings Leg ends

closed at 7/111, which was never going to be enough against any Cowboys side, although you never know in this game. Kane and Tony opened, then Raj came on with medium-paced late swingers and clean-bowled Tony – a great first wicket. Kane opened his shoulders for some big hitting. Dayboro had come up with a cunning plan to combat the powerhouse that is Kane, and it went exactly to plan – Kane’s plan. He plundered sixes and fours at will. Boyd McKenzie tried to rattle him with slower balls, but we couldn’t crack him. Laura Topp came on to bowl her ‘above the eyeline’ specials, and Dean tickled one through to me from her first ball. At first break Cowboys were 2/71. Nick McDonald made 10 before being bowled by Brendan MacDonald for a wicket maiden, followed by 2 wickets in his second over. Kane retired at 60 cementing the innings and Cowboys were 6 wickets down with a dozen runs to get. Dayboro spirits were up and we dared to think, after posting such a low total, could we somehow pull this out of the fire, roll the Cowboys, and bathe in glory? Nope. Todd and Duster steadied the tinnie and closed the game in the 19th over to win. It was a very enjoyable day played in good spirits. As always, on behalf of both teams, a big thank you to Bert for giving up his Sunday to officiate. Michael Freeman (Dayboro)

LOCAL NEWS was sudden and unexpected. Despite this, his passing was comfortable as we were supported by a brilliant GP. As a nurse, the disease process of dementia took me to places of the human body I could barely comprehend. I was grateful for the support I was provided from the Samford community, friends, professionals and my employer. I encourage those in need to reach out and find the support to best help them and their families. Together, raising awareness of dementia can do just that. In loving Memory of my Dad Bill McDonagh, Potter/Artist/Father/Husband Pheobe

KUPIDABIN NEWS A DAUGHTERS TRIBUTE As part of my participation in the Gold Coast Marathon, I decided to raise much needed awareness and funds for Dementia Australia. Dementia has impacted me personally and many others close to me. After my dad was diagnosed with dementia, he required alternative living arrangements, as the role

of caring for him at home was beyond what my mum could provide at their age of 74. I always knew the marathon would be a challenge, but once the fundraising started, the run took on a whole new meaning. I was blown away; donations and messages of support came rolling in to support this condition with no cure, no current treatment, and little understanding of its cause. Dementia is very cruel. You can adapt to the changes it throws you like we do for so many things in our lives, but it’s a tough journey to watch families go through. This was especially true for my mum and others who are the main carers for people with dementia. More support is needed urgently to keep families together. We raised a massive $1890 for Dementia Australia. Thank you everyone! Not only did I find my running groove, but I also found another way to contribute to a cause that means so much to many in our community. Dad was incredible, funny and caring and was still one in a million! He passed away at my home last month, surrounded by his children and mum. His deterioration

OUT & ABOUT I Don’t Understand Art! One of the biggest hurdles to understanding Art - it is said that anything can be Art these days. So, for this explanation, let’s first clear out some of the clutter. While a musician is an artist, let’s call them a musician for this purpose. Acting is said to be an art form, but let’s call them actors for the moment. And the sandwich maker, while making sensational sandwiches, for today, let’s call them a sandwich maker, and so on. Now, to simplify things even more, let’s break things up into Conceptual Art (where the meaning and message are more important than the Art) and pretty Art. Conceptual Art is big business, big gallery, big money art. It’s what is taught in art school and university. The banana on the wall, the dead cow in a box… and more recently and closer to home… a roll of paper towel with a line of stitching through it. They all have great descriptions and meanings, designed to make you think more deeply about the goings on in the world. But it’s not something you are going to purchase to hang in your hall. And even if you wanted to, you probably couldn’t afford it. “Pretty art” is a derogatory term used by the conceptual art industry in an attempt to lessen the value of these art forms. So, I like to call it people’s Art. Art that not only collectors but also the everyday person can understand. Art that can be emotional and that we, as the viewer, can easily connect with and understand. It’s Art that makes the corner of your room stunning. It’s Art that reminds you of your hometown. It’s Art that helps you express yourself, brings a little joy into your day and when gifted, brings a smile to your besties’ face, making them feel special.

Don’t get me wrong, as an artist, I would love to be able to afford to spend my time creating something that is Art for art’s sake that no one will buy and look at the bigger picture of life. But let’s face it, there is so much bad stuff going on in the world at the moment, that focusing on what brings happiness closer to home can be equally as important. Locally, we have the Dayboro Art Gallery and the Good Egg Gallery, which are full of meaningful art. There is Running Duck Studio (RDS) which will be open for Tawny Trails (last event of 2023) on Sunday, November 26th from 10am-3pm. This is the last time RDS Mobile Gallery will open at 2 Wattelbrae Street Dayboro for the foreseeable future (exciting news coming soon). Come and see Art for yourself. You will find Christmas sales and new works released to the public for the first time. Small pieces
