FAMOUS ARTWORK COMES TO KILCOY COPYING a master’s painting has been a great learning tradition for art students for centuries and continues today - even in the Somerset region!

The Kilcoy Courthouse Art Gallery’s Artist of the Month for February is not one but twenty-two artists for an exciting exhibition titled, ‘Paint Like a Master’.

Our artists have chosen their favourite work painted by a master artist and have copied the work as a learning exercise from the chosen artist.

Copying a master’s work is a way of developing the techniques and styles of the old masters such as the European artists of Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt and Monet and our own Australian artists such as Streeton and McCubbin.

So, in February when you enter the Kilcoy Courthouse Art Gallery you may think you are entering a European Art Gallery when you see ‘The Girl with the Pearl Earring’, ‘The Starry Night’, ‘Nude Sitting on a Divan’ or ‘The Kiss’.

Our first Foggy Friday for 2024 will be held 2pm Friday 9 February on the Lakeside Deck at the gallery and we have asked a few Thank you for a successful Australia Day ON BEHALF of the Laidley District Historical Society Inc, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended our Australia Day celebrations on Friday 26th January at Laidley Pioneer Village.

A marvellous turnout of the general public was treated to a wonderful display of times past.

Members and volunteers alike worked extremely hard to create displays that people found really interesting.

Working displays of blacksmithing, woodworking and milking equipment were popular attractions.

Entry is $10 at the door, and afternoon tea and beverages are available.

The Artist of the Month Exhibition opens concurrently with the opening of the three-month exhibition changeover on Thursday 8

small engines, rocks and gems and artworks were very well received.

The 1928 LINN logging truck was a very popular attraction.

Everyone enjoyed the Highland Dancing and piping as well as the background music provided

by Colin Pavic and Lyndel Einam playing songs on her keyboard.

Children’s activities kept children large and small entertained and were enthusiastically attempted.

The Flag Raising ceremony, with the Lockyer Light Horse Troop in attendance, was respectful and poignant.

Our thanks go to Cr Brett Qualischefski for his

February.

The Exhibition Opening event will be held 2pm Sunday 11 February on the Lakeside Deck at the gallery. Cost is $10 and nibbles will be served.

All attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite master painting in the ‘People’s Choice Award’ and also have an opportunity to buy one.

Region smashed with 24-hour rain

BY JESSE HAMILTON INTENSE rainfall on January 29 and 30 led to considerable road closures and the shutdown of schools and businesses across the Lockyer and Somerset regions.

Laidley copped more than 300mm of rain on the night of January 29, while in Somerset, the most substantial rainfall was recorded at Savages Crossing

near Fernvale, registering 82mm in 24 hours.

Faith Lutheran College Plainland and Thornton State School joined 20 schools across southeast Queensland which were closed on January 30 due to unsafe road conditions prohibiting access.

Laidley Pioneer Village president John Barwell said water levels at Narda Lagoon forced the closure of the village, with Lockyer

Intersection of Coates St and Edward St in Laidley on January 30.

Valley Regional Council issuing an emergency alert for Laidley and Forest Hill on the morning of the 30th.

“We were very experienced between 2011 and 2013, we got flooded out here, so we have had to

become flood vigilant,” he said.

“Because the risk was high, we decided to close the gates, and it turned out nobody could gain access across Narda Lagoon from Laidley.”

The Bureau of Meteorology issued a final flood warning for last week’s flooding, February 1, with flooding starting to ease below minor levels along the Bremer River and War-

rill Creek.

“No further flooding is expected in the Bremer River and Warrill Creek,” a spokesperson said.

“The Bremer River at Rosewood is expected to remain below the minor flood level of 4.00m.

“River levels are expected to remain below minor flood levels along the lower Brisbane River downstream of Wivenhoe Dam.”

Urban Utilities offer tips to protect your home in storm events URBAN Utilities is encouraging everyone to do some simple checks around their home and include water in their emergency kit, as storm season continues.

Urban Utilities spokesperson Michelle Cull said there were some easy household checks to protect your home and help prevent stormwater

infiltrating the wastewater network.

“We’re urging residents to check their overflow relief gully is raised above the surrounding ground

level and clear of debris which may prevent the grate lifting freely,” she said.

“For those who mightn’t know, an overflow relief

gully (or ORG) is a drainlike fitting located in the ground outside your home, usually near the laundry.

“It’s designed to overflow wastewater onto the

ground outside your house, rather than inside the home, if there is blockage in your plumbing or excessive stormwater in the wastewater network.”

Upstream battle as cod recovery program continues

BY JACOB HAYDEN

Somerset & Wivenhoe Fish Stocking Association members with local politicians at the Wivenhoe Dam Spillway.

SWFSA members were joined by local politicians at the Wivenhoe Dam Spillway to celebrate the release of more than 21,000 fish between November 2023 and January 2024.

Federal Member for Blair Shayne Neumann helped release fifty 18-month-old endangered Mary River cod fingerlings on the day.

SWFSA president Garry

Fitzgerald said nearly 60,000 cod have been released over three years.

He said the program faced two kinds of bottlenecks.

“Funding is a bottleneck and supply of enough fingerlings is another bottleneck, so we had a little bit more funding this year, but we couldn’t get enough fish,” he said.

Mr Fitzgerald said

SWFSA would need to continue the program for at least a decade to create self-sustaining populations.

“It needs to be an ongoing program to get year classes so there are males and females of roughly the same sizes,” he said.

“Their mating is quite robust, if I can use that word, and they knock each other around quite a bit, they

fight.”

SWFSA monitor several populations of cod throughout the Brisbane River which will likely never interact, all separated by man-made migration barriers.

“Culvert crossings, dams, weirs – they’re all barriers to migration and these fish need to migrate as part of their reproduction cycle,” Mr Fitzgerald said.

Disability support service purchases premises

CARINTY has finalised the purchase of its premises at Toogoolawah, Our House, which provides disability support services to the local community.

Carinity Community Services manager Chris Shannon said the Brisbane-based not-for-profit had previously leased the Our House property from the Queensland Government.

“Our acquisition helps to assure Our House can

continue providing disability support services for the local community well into the future,” Chris said.

Carinity took over the management of the Our House disability respite centre in 2007.

The service currently supports 21 people from an area which includes Toogoolawah, Esk, Kilcoy, Coominya, and Fernvale.

“Our House is a home away from home for people living with physical or

intellectual disability, and Carinity is delighted that

Toogoolawah will remain the home of this vital local

service,” Chris said.

“It supports Carinity’s mission and vision to provide disability services to a highly vulnerable client group and to support their carers.

“As well as providing a vital community service, Carinity Our House is one of the largest employers in the Toogoolawah area, employing 25 staff in coordination and support worker roles.”

REBUILDING an entire population of fish has many barriers and bottlenecks, but the Somerset & Wivenhoe Fish Stocking Association (SWFSA) are still fighting the good fight.

Three years ago, SWFSA begun a project to restock the Brisbane River with Mary River cod, a close species to Brisbane River cod, after the native freshwater apex predator went extinct in the 1940s.

The project received $85,000 through the Environmental Recovery Program to purchase and release both fingerlings and juvenile size Mary River cod, complementing the fish stocking association’s overall recovery plan.

Toogoolawah SHS raising next gen of health care workers

BY JACOB HAYDEN YEAR 10 and 11 Toogoolawah State High School students are taking the first steps to tackle regional health care shortages.

In 2024, the school has introduced the Certificate II in Health Support Services through provider Connect n’ Grow.

Teacher Carla Cerchi said the students have begun their first topic, infection control.

“They are looking at what pathogen, microorganisms and agents of infections are and how to control infection,” Mrs Cerchi said. “[Two weeks ago] they did all the practical for donning and doffing the personal hygiene equipment and how to clean up biological hazards and which equipment to use for certain scenarios and infections control.”

Mrs Cerchi said every Wednesday was an immersive day to focus entirely on health services.

“We are looking at bringing in health care professionals from the region to the school to give students the

opportunity to learn and ask questions,” she said.

“This will help integrate the course and the students with the community.”

Course trainer and registered nurse Luanne Donohoe said the course could lead to any health career.

“It’s a stepping stone so they can start working in hospitals,” she said.

“With industry connections, there are opportunities

to complete the Cert III as a traineeship.

“A lot of the units are general, like workplace health and safety and communications, which are requirements for any job anyway.”

Year 10 Toogoolawah SHS student Kaylee Hill said the course was a great stepping stone.

“I want to get into psychology so this will help me do that,” she said.

Year 11 student Kate Hudson said the course was easy with Luanne’s training.

“She talks through the answers with us to get a better understanding,” Miss Hudson said.

“I am really grateful to have this opportunity because I used to work for Metro Health North and it would really benefit me in the future.”

Mrs Cerchi said the region

had a high need with huge job opportunities.

“So, it gives students the skills to walk into health care services with a qualification,” Mrs Cerchi said.

“It also gives students who usually don’t go to university or who end up dropping out of school the opportunity and reason to stay in school to achieve a certificate and real experience to succeed after school.”

choir Protecting Rosewood’s Established seeks accompanist wetland ecosystems

BY JESSE HAMILTON BUSHCARE enthusiasts took a lead in preserving Rosewood’s native ecosystem on February 3 by planting indigenous plants along the scenic banks of Masons Gully in celebration of World Wetlands Day. The annual planting is part of a restoration effort of native bush plants to the gully, including Melaleuca Plant, Kangaroo Grass, and Lomandra Grass.

Masons Gully Bushcare group leader Chris Rinehart said plants like the Rosewood Scrub only have a few remnants remaining, with the group working around the edges of the gully to prevent erosion.

“There’s only three percent of the original Rosewood Scrub left,” she said.

“This was left just a grassed paddock and then

Arnold Rieck, who was very keen on the Rosewood Scrub, started planting it again after the West Morteon Landcare Group received money through the Olympic Landcare Funding Program.”

Mrs Rinehart said the restoration efforts of the Rosewood bushland have only been made possible through the commitment of a small group of volunteers.

Choirmaster Gary Young said their previous accompanists were unable to continue with the choir as their work demands increased.

“So we’re really desperately wanting to get an accompanist, otherwise we’re not going to exist, is the key to it all,” he said.

The choir is in its tenth year and is planning a major concert.

“We’d be including solos, duets, and a variety of repertoire that we’ve covered over the ten years,” Mr Young said.

Lorikeets succumb to mystery illness

BY GRACE CRICHTON A MYSTERIOUS illness is grounding Australia’s iconic lorikeets, and scientists are trying to discover the cause.

Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome has been known to veterinarians for decades and several theories for its cause have been suggested.

Professor Bob Doneley is the head of avian and exotic pet services at the University of Queensland Gatton Vets, a professor in avian and exotic pet medicine, and a registered specialist in bird medicine.

Prof Doneley has seen Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome regularly over the past several decades.

“The government puts very little money towards funding for the sort of research that’s needed to uncover the problem,” he said.

“At the end of the day we’re no closer to an answer.”

Theories include a viral infection, vitamin deficiency,

Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome is affecting hundreds of birds, but a lack of funding is leaving researchers no closer to the cause.

PHOTO: PIXABAY

lead poisoning, or impact trauma.

“All of these theories have been dismissed by other people,” Prof Doneley said.

“This is the conundrum we

have.”

Currently, a team at the University of Sydney led by Professor David Phalen is investigating a potential environmental toxin as the cause.

Prof Doneley said there was a ‘regular trickle’ of lorikeets brought to UQ Gatton Vet. One bird brought into their care was found by Ashleigh

Proud on Australia Day when she came across a grounded rainbow lorikeet in a suburban backyard.

“I thought the behaviour was quite strange,” she said.

“Then I looked a bit closer and noticed that every few steps it would fall forward and was like it was stumbling everywhere.

“It felt like it was quite important that I look after the bird to make sure it was okay and not just leave it in my backyard.”

RSPCA Queensland admitted 389 lorikeets into their care with the disease in January alone.

Prof Doneley said there was very little government funding for research into wildlife other than koalas.

“Koalas get the lion’s share of funding for wildlife research, but we have a lot of other species that get no funding,” he said.

“Any donations toward research funding or treatment funding, whether it’s a vet clinic or a university or the RSPCA, all of those donations would be really appreciated.

“We need to be working hard on all species, not just the cute ones.”

Beryl marks 103rd birthday

BY GRACE CRICHTON CETENARIAN Beryl Butler had more reason than most to celebrate on Australia Day. She turned 103 years old.

The Esk resident celebrated her birthday with her family.

“When I had my 100th birthday, I never thought I’d see that,” she said.

Now at 103, she is still living in her home of more than 60 years where she raised seven children.

Beryl was born at the Toogoolawah Hospital to Magdaline and Otto Granzien.

She was raised on the family farm, known as ‘The Pines’, at Mt Beppo with her two younger brothers, Vernon and Terence.

“I used to help my father

muster cattle, take the cattle to the dip for dipping,” she said.

“I remember once we came, we had a mob of cattle and went to the dip on Mt Beppo Rd there, and our bull got away.

“I followed the jolly thing right opposite to where I lived.

“Miles and miles across.”

She met a soldier, William ‘Bill’ Butler, in Toogoolawah and they married after WWII in September 1946.

They lived at Somerset Dam while Bill worked on the construction of the dam wall and Beryl raised their children: Leonie, Ian, Kevin, Allan, Wendy, Karen, and Robyn.

“They always did what they were told, they were

always good,” Beryl said.

“Never had any trouble with them.”

They later moved to Esk and although her brood kept her busy, she was very community minded.

“I was always on the go, doing something,” she said.

She is a life member of the Esk RSL and the Over 50s Club.

She sold raffle tickets at the RSL’s diggers nights until she was 96.

“Never missed it,” she said.

Now, she feeds the wild birds every day, never misses the news, and watches the cricket Beryl has 15 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren.

The dynamic crossover SUV expertly blends driving pleasure and performance with ample cargo space, exceptional usability and a sporty design that embraces and expresses the active lifestyles of its customers.

The wide-body two-row SUV will make its debut in Australia with the widely acclaimed 3.3-litre turbocharged e-Skyactiv inline six-cylinder petrol and diesel engine.

Both incorporate 48V mild hybrid technology.

Already available in the CX-90, these powertrains take advantage of a Maz-

da-developed eight-speed transmission and the surety and involvement of rear-biased all-wheel drive.

This ‘multi-solution’ approach of combining and optimising a higher-output engine with electric drive delivers enhanced performance and efficiency and is commensurate with the ‘Passion Pursuer’ concept at the heart of the vehicle’s development.

Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi said the CX-70 represented yet another milestone for Mazda’s brand. “[The CX-70 offers] the hallmarks of the now well-established Mazda Premium philosophy that shines brightly in the CX-60 and CX-90, but with a distinct focus on pursuing an active and fulfill-

ing lifestyle.

“It also offers a wider breadth of choice within our Large Product range, skilfully meeting the diverse needs of our market.”

Following Mazda’s signature ‘Kodo – Soul of Motion’ design theme, the exterior adopts a powerful bumper shape and striking black accents.

Burgundy interior highlights unique to the CX-70 also give a new expression to the exceptional craftsmanship already witnessed in the CX60 and CX-90.

The CX-70 also boasts a commodious luggage space and a new electric remote fold function which allows the second-row seats to be easily folded down from the tailgate side with a switch in

the boot.

This creates a flat floor which extends to the rear hatch.

There are also three underfloor storage compartments for personal items and other gear.

In order to provide a safe and secure driving environment, the new Mazda CX-70 integrates Cruising and Traffic Support (CTS) Unrespon-

sive Driver Support.

CTS Unresponsive Driver Support alerts the driver in stages if it detects closed eyes or distraction, and if the driver is still not confirmed to be engaged, the system will slow the vehicle down and stop where necessary to reduce damage in the event of an accident.

Based on the Mazda Co-Pilot Concept, a unique concept

of advanced driver assistance technology that puts human at the centre, Mazda will contribute to a society where everyone can move safely, securely, and freely through technology that monitors the mind and body.

Other features include a Trailer Hitch View that assists connection to a trailer and a 2,500kg towing capacity, to support active lifestyles.

Record red meat exports in 2023 IN 2023, Australia exported a total volume of 1.84 million shipped weight tonnes of red meat to more than100 countries worth a record $17.08 billion for the 12 months ending November 2023.

Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) annual global market snapshots for 2024 provide insights into where the volume and value were distributed to, and drivers of demand in each market.

Mainland China remains the number one destination for Australian red meat exports by volume, importing 206,193 tonnes of beef and 165,245 tonnes of lamb and mutton.

Long-term import demand drivers are strong, with China’s affluent consumer base forecast to continue ex-

pansion, along with growing appreciation for high quality red meat products.

The United States also continues to be a major market for Australian grassfed beef and lamb.

Japan is the third largest beef importer globally and the second largest export customer of Australian beef.

MLA’s Global Market In-

sights and Adoption manager Miho Kondo said the young, expanding and increasingly affluent consumers in emerging regions such as the Middle East and southeast Asia provided another significant opportunity for Australian red meat exporters.

“The dial has been shifting regarding the awareness of premium red meat, as demand for non-local cuisine foodservice experiences and acceptance of packaged meat products purchased from modern retail are playing a more significant role in emerging markets,” she said.

“The Australian red meat industry has the potential to extend its excellent reputation overseas by expanding into more markets.”

Rain and flood events brings out fire ants. Be on the lookout for this invasive pest.

PHOTO: NSW GOVERNMENT

Watch out for fire ants in flood debris AS SOUTHEAST Queensland cleans up after storms and floods, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries is urging people to be on the lookout for fire ants.

Fire ants thrive after rain and flood events.

If you are helping to clean up and dispose of fallen trees and other debris across

properties, it is important you take all steps to ensure they’re free of this pest.

The National Fire Ant Eradication Program’s material movement advice tool will help you understand if you are taking suitable steps to reduce the risk of spreading fire ants.

This includes processing, storing, treating and dispos-

ing of materials safely.

Fire ants are attracted to warm, open spaces and usually found in areas such as lawns, garden beds, near water sources, along roadsides, and in newly developed areas.

Fire ants can be reported anytime at fireants.org.au or by calling 13 25 23.

Govt launches new inquiry into supermarket prices AUSTRALIAN supermarkets have been put on notice with the announcement of a new government probe into the prices of groceries at the checkout in January.

The Federal Government will direct the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to investigate pricing and competition in the supermarket sector to ensure Australians are paying a fair price for their goods, and to ensure farmers received their share in profits.

Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers said when farmers were selling their product for less, supermarkets should be charging Australians less.

“That’s why the ACCC will use its significant powers to probe the difference between the price paid at the farm gate

and the prices people pay at the check-out,” Dr Chalmers said.

“The Government is prepared to take action to make sure that Australians are not paying one

dollar more than they should for the things they need.”

The 12-month ACCC inquiry will investigate the competitiveness of retail prices and alle-

THE WORLD Meteorological Organisation (WMO) has confirmed 2023 was the warmest year on record.

The WMO estimated global temperatures were 0.12-1.45°C above the 1850-1900 average, exceeding the previous record warm years of 2016 and 2020.

Australia’s climate warmed by approximately 1.48°C between 1910 and 2022, leading to an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events.

Global sea surface temperatures were highest on record for all months between April and December 2023.

Unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Tasman Sea may be contributing to an increased likelihood of above average median summer rainfall over parts of Australia.

In recent decades, there has also been a trend towards a greater proportion of rainfall from high intensity, short duration rainfall events, particularly across northern Australia during the wet season.

gations of price gouging in the supermarket sector.

The monitoring by the competition and consumer watchdog is part of the Government’s broader efforts to boost competition and put downward pressure on the price of essentials, including a review of the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct and the Competition Review’s focus on cost-of-living initiatives.

The ACCC will produce an interim report in 2024 and final report in early 2025, which will provide the Government with findings and recommendations.

In addition, the Government will deliver $1.1 million to respected consumer group CHOICE to provide price transparency and comparison reports on a quarterly basis for three years.

FEBRUARY 7, 2024

MOORE WEEKLY STARS February 5-11, 2024 ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19) The Sun/Uranus square and New Moon (in Aquarius) shake up and reboot your peer group zone, so a friend or work colleague from the past could boomerang back into your world! Whatever happens, do your best to surround yourself with authentic people who help you in hard times, encourage your talents and support your dreams. As birthday great Bob Marley observed: “True friends are like stars; you can only recognise them when it’s dark around you.”

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20) You’ll be in the public eye in some way as the Sun, New Moon, Mercury and Pluto stimulate your reputation/career zone. So you could shine at work, at school or in a volunteer position. When it comes to your job, do you need to upskill? Are you looking for employment or is it time to change vocation? The winds of change are blowing so prepare to pivot! Are you looking for love? You could be attracted to someone from another country or culture.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) You’re super busy and raring to go but are you actually achieving anything of substance? On Monday your ruler Mercury hooks up with meticulous Pluto, so make sure you double-check details and leave plenty of time to get to appointments. If you focus and prioritise (plus tackle tasks in regular short bursts) then you’ll gradually get things done. Friday night’s New Moon heralds an insightful realisation about yourself or a welcome weekend getaway.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22) This week six planets activate your family and friendship zones, so focus on the important people in your life who make your world go ’round. Make sure you love, nurture, and appreciate them to the max – but don’t expect them to make you happy! As writer (and birthday great) Alice Walker wisely observed: “Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.” The terrific Venus/Uranus trine encourages you to express yourself creatively.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21) Monday’s Mercury/Pluto conjunction is all about intense communication and powerful conversations, especially with family members and/or housemates. And then Friday night’s New Moon encourages you to patch up an unpredictable relationship with a relative, as you demonstrate endless patience and hold out the olive branch of peace. As music legend (and birthday great) Bob Marley sang: “Overcome the devils with a thing called love.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Friday night’s New Moon inspires you to contribute your versatile talents to a worthy cause within your local community. Then satisfying connections and positive friendships will follow. However, when it comes to a neighbour, family member or work colleague, hold onto your seat and prepare for a rollercoaster ride. And avoid putting your foot firmly in your mouth on the weekend when the Mercury/ Jupiter square encourages rash words and impulsive actions.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Crabs are sentimental creatures and can spend too much time in the past. Resist the urge to brood over love gone wrong. This week’s stars help heal your hurt feelings so you can finally let go and move on. The New Moon also signals a major shift in the areas of intimacy or money. Perhaps a passionate new affair or the start of a promising financial partnership? But plenty of patience is required on Thursday when a relationship goes through a bumpy patch.

The New Moon stimulates your cash zone, so take stock of your financial situation and initiate some smart strategies. And don’t forget to do an inventory of your inner wealth, which includes your self-esteem and core Capricorn values. Remember – you are more than your job, what you earn and what you own. With love planet Venus visiting your sign (until February 16) romance is in the air. Singles – amazing synchronicities could lead you to your soulmate.

LEO (July 23 - Aug 22) On Thursday, a romantic relationship or a professional partnership could veer off in an unpredictable direction, when disruptive Uranus squares the Sun (your ruling planet).

When it comes to your career, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater! Try to get the balance right between keeping what works and exploring exciting new options. Friday night’s New Moon is all about new beginnings involving love, marriage, a joint venture or a business partnership.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) There are four planets transiting through your sign – the Sun encourages creativity, the New Moon signals a fresh cycle of growth and learning, and the Mercury/Pluto conjunction boosts concentration. But Thursday’s Sun/ Uranus square could stir up a domestic drama. And remember – just because you’ve thought of a brilliant idea (and talked about it endlessly) doesn’t mean you’ve achieved anything. Be proactive about turning dreams into reality!

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

The Sun, New Moon, Mercury and Pluto all highlight your health-and-wellbeing zone, so strive to be the fittest and most vibrant Virgo you can be. Get your body moving ASAP! Reinvention is the name of the game, as the planets encourage you to reboot your daily routine with passion and determination. The best way to manage stress is with relaxing indoor pursuits (like meditation or yoga) and vigorous outdoor activities (like running, cycling or hiking).

The Mars/Neptune connection is wonderful for manifesting dreams – especially involving personal projects. Then the New Moon lights up your spirituality zone on Friday night. Put aside some special ‘me time’ so you can meditate, contemplate, ruminate, slow down, calm down and re-calibrate. Your motto is from writer (and birthday great) Alice Walker: “Look closely at the present you are constructing – it should look like the future you are dreaming.”

THE LOCKYER AND SOMERSET INDEPENDENT

FEBRUARY 7, 2024

BRIDGE LOCKYER BRIDGE CLUB Bridge Clubs are an essential part of the structure of Bridge in Australia as they provide play with meaningful engagement with others in their local community, through a community interest that caters for all ages, skills & abilities. With this in mind, our Club is always on the lookout for an increase in Membership. For any further information please phone Peter or Pat numbers below. We would love to have you join us.

The AGM was held prior to play for the evening – congratulations to the previous Committee as they have been voted in once again.

Results for 31st January 2024: Michelle Porter & Sue Hooper led the way – great score 64.58% - well done.

R & A McLucas 57.29%, P Ziebarth & R Drouin 55.21%, J Kuhle & L Gunthorpe 48.96%, J & G Orrin 45.83%, A Eising & T Fitzgerald 40.50%, W Pickles & P Hooper 40%.

If you are visiting the Lockyer Valley & looking for a game of Bridge or just like to observe some games, phone Peter Hooper 0408 782 776, we would love to see you, Wednesday evenings arrival 6.45pm. Lessons for Beginners held on Tuesday morning, arrival 8.45am is also at the same venue, The Catholic Community Hall, Maitland Street, Gatton. Pat Ziebarth is the organizer for Tuesday’s play phone 0490 539 734.

CRICKET ESK AND DISTRICT UNDER 13S A good start to the year by the Esk and District Under 13s team beating Gatton Bulls Maroon.

Bowling - Jai Halsted 3 wickets, Griffin Kruger 2 wickets, George Thornton 1 wicket, Damon Wood 1 wicket, Billy Bergin 1 wicket Batting - Damon Wood 29 top score, George Thornton 20, Nate Friedrich 9, Dean Kunde 3 Fielding - Catches by: Joe Bergin, Carter Melville, George Thornton, and good fielding and backing up by Brodie Kubler.

Esk and District 4 for 103 Gatton Maroon 8 for 88.

Player of the match Jai Halsted taking 3 wickets and scoring 10 runs.

LOCKYER A GRADE A keen rivalry was played out at Cahill Park, when Ropehill reclaimed its mojo in passing the inadequate Gatton Fordsdale 10- 85, with the loss of five wickets. Reece Teske was the surprise destroyer taking an outstanding 7-26, while classy Dave Kilah, with 34 steered Ropehill home.

Following recent floods, Mulgowie could not be restored in time and their game against Helidon was washed out.

In a nail biter, Forest Hill just managed to reach the Glenore Grove score. The Roos posted a very modest 9-100 thanks to 48 from Jaxon Utz. Forest Hill were eight down when they limped home with 38 by Idrios Wiggins. The A Grade comp continues to be evenly matched.

VALLEY VIKINGS Although winners on the scoreboard, the Vikings will rue the one that got away, in missing outright win points. On week one, the Thunder unexpectedly batted nearly all afternoon for 147.

In reply, the Vikings reached a respectable 204, with Brock Zischke, 44 and Zeke Kugel, 38 the best of the batters. But it meant that the Thunder, in their second dig, would need to be dismissed in the post Tea session, which was nearly achieved at 7-58. Zeke Kugel completed a fine double with 4-13. A finals glimmer is still alive.

EIGHT BALL KILCOY EIGHT BALL ASSOCIATION Round 4 of our Summer League was played on Wednesday the 31 of January.

Yowie parkrunners celebrated 5 years of parkrun events in Kilcoy on Saturday morning February 3.

parkrun keeping Kilcoy in shape for five years

BY JACOB HAYDEN

YOWIE parkrun celebrated its fifth anniversary on Saturday February 3 with locals turning out in their most colourful outfits.

Run director Di Lacey has been involved with the parkrun from the beginning.

“There was a small group just

before the official start date, one of our directors Esther Graves was an originator and got us up and going, and I’ve been a run director since day one,” Lacey said.

“I have been parkrunning for a few years before Yowie started and I just think it’s a great event for a community.”

Lacey said she loved the stabil-

ity, routine and ease of access to parkrun.

“It will always be free, that’s one of the global parkrun mission statements,” she said.

“It doesn’t matter what you wear or how fast you run or walk, people bring their prams and their dogs.

“I’m a bit of a routine person,

it’s on the same place and same time every Saturday morning, so it’s reliable and it’s always there.”

Visitors from around Queensland and South Australia participated on Saturday morning, with 13 first timers.

Since 2019, Yowie parkrun has had 2,050 participants who have completed 6,639 parkruns.

Somerset Regional Councillor Chery Gaedtke and volunteer tailwalker Rick Gardiner at Yowie parkrun.

Gatton Redbacks gear up for 2024 season COMMUNITY spirits soared as the Gatton Redbacks Football Club held a working bee on February 3, preparing their fields for the upcoming season with the support of dedicated volunteers.

The Gatton-based football club is the third biggest club in the region and is 100% volunteer-run.

Gatton Redbacks president Jackson Bell said the club was a family-focused grassroots club planning to grow its committee,

volunteers, and playing numbers this year.

“We’re chasing people to come on our committee to help guide us through the next five years,” he said.

“We need some new faces, and we’re happy for people to come out, not commit themselves to a role necessarily but see what everything entails.”

Bell said volunteering can come in many forms and was integral to

keep football alive in the region with growing numbers needing an outlet.

“It’s important to have multiple clubs in the region competing,” he said.

“Laidley coming back online this year is a good thing for the region for example, the numbers in the region are there.

“We’ll take anyone and everyone as long as they’re willing to participate, they’ve got a good

attitude, and they keep the full beliefs of the club at heart.”

Those interested in playing or fulfilling one of the club’s volunteering roles are encouraged to email: gattonredbacksfc@ gmail.com or message the club on Facebook.

The club’s season gets underway during the first weekend of March for seniors, with juniors starting in the third weekend.

JESSE HAMILTON

THE LAIDLEY Lions Soccer Club welcomes the community to their 2024 Registration Sign Up and Family Fun Day this Sunday February 11 from 10am to 1pm.

The event location is yet to be determined after rainfall and flooding two weeks ago made the Laidley Recreational Reserve unusable.

Follow ‘laidley football’ on Facebook for up-to-date event details.

New club president Kahel McAvan said the event was a chance for the community to meet the committee and get involved.

“Come down and meet the club and the committee, you might find the kids will enjoy the community we’re building,” McAvan said.

“A big part of it for us is building a community people want to be a part of.”

McAvan said the family fun day would have plenty for the kids.

“There might be other things that come up but so far we’ve confirmed the jumping castle, the inflatable soccer field, we’ve got the dagwood dog guy coming and a face painter is booked,” he said.

The club was inactive for several years but formed a new committee at the end of 2023, when they held an eight-week course for Summer 6s.

“From that, we had at least 70 people sign up for that Summer 6s, and we’ve done a lot more PR work in the community since then,” McAvan said.

Sunday’s event is a great chance to sign up your kids to play in the club’s first returning season of soccer.

“We’ll have all or most of the committee there to help with the FairPlay Voucher, which is quite an important thing for a lot of people.”

McAvan said the club was being ‘completely rebuilt’, so anyone joining the club or committee would help shape the community.

“Even if you don’t want to play soccer but you have kids who want to come down and have fun, the presence that we have will make a big impact on how we move forward,” McAvan said.

“If we get a good turnout and everyone has a good time, for the community it will show that we’re trying to put the work in and doing the things we need to be doing to make a good club.”

KOBEN: A YOUNG SWIM SUPERSTAR swimming and want to help.”

Koben has swum at club level for the past six months and is a member of the Gatton Swimming Club.

His stepdad, Guy Hubert, is a former Australian Swimming Coach and said he has never witnessed such a self-motivated seven-year-old swimmer with both short and long-distance potential.

“I’ve trained young kids, but I’ve never seen a child so dedicated,” he said.

“He does ten push-ups, ten sit-ups, marching for 30 seconds, planking for 30 seconds, and then he will come and do three laps at 6:30.”

There will be a raffle drawn at the Laidley Exchange Hotel on February 14 to support the foundation.

Those looking to support Koban’s fundraiser can donate at: superswim.org.au/ koben-calvo

BY JESSE HAMILTON MEET seven-year-old Koben Calvo, an enthusiastic swimmer ready to partake in a 2km swim challenge this month as he raises money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Koben, diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, has joined the Starlight Super Swim — an initiative where he’ll swim three 25m laps each day in February to raise funds for an ailing 8-year-old needing sponsorship.

A self-driven and warm-hearted individual, Koben said the swim challenge would be his biggest obstacle yet but looked forward to helping someone of a similar age.

“I wake up at 6 o’clock and come to Laidley and do my laps before school,” he said.

“I started to teach one of my friends, I just love my
