Gecko was recognised for his 20 years’ service to the Scouts.

Glenore Grove Scout Leaders take next step FOUR Glenore Grove Scout Leaders were recognised for their hard work and dedication to the cause on Friday November 4 when they were presented with their Wood Badge and Gilwell Scarf.

Leaders Benjamin ‘Platypus’ van den Ende, Andrea

‘Possum’ O’Connor, Benjamin ‘Kangaroo’ Thompson and Michelle ‘Bilby’ van den Ende had undertaken the Adult Leader Wood Badge Training Program provided

by Scouts Australia.

The wearing of Wood Badge is a privilege shared

by Leaders throughout the world who have undertaken training to the standards of the World Scout Conference.

Possum said it was a great group to lead.

“We’ve got a lot of really good youth that come along and they’re the ones that in-

spire us to keep going and do the training that is required,” Possum said.

“We’ve had to do camps and learn skills to teach the Scouts, and we can show that R൵ QRZ WKDW ZH DUH WUDLQHG to lead and teach them those skills now.”

More than $1000 raised for Breast Cancer Awareness Month LOCKYER Valley Regional Council raised more than $1000 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month through their internal fundraising efforts.

Council staff donated a gold coin each time they sported pink throughout the month to support efforts to combat the impacts of the insidious disease.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor Tanya Milligan said council

staff undertook a suite of initiatives throughout October to raise funds and awareness for the important cause.

“Thanks to the generosity of our staff, the money raised has been donated directly to the Ipswich Hospital Foundation who will use it to make a real difference within our community,” she said.

“Fundraising initiatives like these really do matter.”

When the milkman came to town

BY GRACE CRICHTON WITH THE LAIDLEY PIONEER VILLAGE DO YOU remember leaving the billy out for the milkman?

If you’re from Laidley there’s a chance it was delivered by Dennis O’Dwyer, whose milk cart is now at Laidley Pioneer Village.

Milk carts like O’Dwyer’s would have been common at a time when every town was delivered fresh milk directly from the farmer.

But now, what was once common is rare.

“A lot of them have been scrapped,” Don said.

“There are a few around in museums but not a lot.”

The O’Dwyers had the milk run around Laidley in the early twentieth century.

“The milko would pull up beside the house, he’d had his little churn… and he’d MXVW ¿OO WKDW XS IURP RQH RI the cans and then take it from KRXVH WR KRXVH WR ¿OO XS WKHLU MXJV RU OLWWOH PLON ELOO\ RQ WKH front verandah,” Don said.

“The housewife would leave it out with a doily or a cover over it, and probably two and sixpence beside it.”

In restoring the milk cart, Pioneer Village volunteers have strived to recreate its history as accurately as possible.

Don loaded up the back with two large milk cans and one small one, and the cart is often hooked up to ‘Jaylo’ the ¿EUHJODVV KRUVH Mary O’Dwyer’s late husband, Terry, would often accompany his father on the milk runs.

The dairy farm was on Old Mulgowie Road and the milk run attracted some of the local kids.

“The late Trevor Wyman, who had Wyman’s store in town, he told me one time that he and his brother, they used to wait for Denny to come on the milk cart, that was Terry’s father,” Mary said.

“They’d be waiting down on the corner near the Britannia Hotel and Denny would stop and then he’d give them a ride on the cart up to the

end of the street.

“I suppose they thought that was wonderful years ago.”

Although dairy farms were numerous in the Australian countryside during the early twentieth century, it was usually only the one closest to town who supplied the township with milk.

“Because there was no refrigeration, usually the

closest dairy to town, like O’Dwyers, would supply that town with fresh milk every day,” Don said.

The outlying farms would supply cream to market.

“Every little town, as you can see in history, had its own butter factory or cheese factory,” Don said.

“The cream was sold to the butter factory.”

Initially, one dairy could

supply the whole town, but once townships expanded and the population grew the dairy farmers banded together.

“When the whole system got bigger and the town got too big for a farmer or even a couple of farmers to do that, a bloke, one of the townspeople would open a shop… and he’d turn that into what they called a creamery.

“Then those farmers would bring their fresh milk and a bit of cream into the creamHU\ DQG MXVW XQORDG LW WKHUH “They’d get paid a wholesale price then go home and work their farms.

“As civilisation got bigger, towns got bigger, transthe to port ggot better, refrigeration got bbetter, it changed and evolved.” evo Mary said her fatheriin-law kept the milk run going until pasteurised milk came in.

Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann said the event starts with a free drink and a chance for farmers to catch up with mates.

“This event is all about encouraging farmers to take a break and enjoying a night out with friends,

over dinner, while listening to a couple of guest speakers,” Cr Lehmann said.

“Farming is the backbone of our community and we want to highlight the importance of farmers in the region as well as show our farmers that we care and appreciate their ongoing efforts, especially through drought and ÁRRGV “Previous events have

been hugely popular, so I encourage farmers to book their free tickets as soon as possible to avoid missing out.”

New research into pasture dieback at UQ

PAGE 15

PhD student Melody Thomson is investigating ground pearls, a known pest, and whether they are a potential cause of pasture dieback.

BY GRACE CRICHTON PASTURE dieback is more complex than initially thought.

Melody Thomson and Ken &XQOL൵H DUH UHVHDUFKLQJ WKH condition as part of their PhD research at UQ Gatton campus.

Mealy bugs have long been considered the culprits, causing large portions of paddock grass to become stressed and die, but there are likely more factors.

Miss Thomson is investigating ground pearls, an insect which creates a cyst and feeds on the roots of grasses.

“It was actually while we were looking at a pasture dieback site on campus that we found this really novel, cryptic little insect which is called a ground pearl,” she said.

She is conducting several experiments at the university to understand its life cycle and ideal living conditions.

“There’s a lot of background work,” she said.

“There’s still not much known about them.”

“Having visited all these paddocks with Melody, I started forming some views of my own about what might be causing dieback,” he said.

0U &XQOL൵H VDLG KH ZHQW in with an open mind and began to question why mealy bugs and ground pearls were thriving.

“Why are those two insect pests succeeding and causing pasture dieback in what has, up to now, been a fairly rare occurrence?” he said. ³,W LV GH¿QLWHO\ JHWWLQJ more common.”

Clear-felling of trees and conservative continuous grazing cause soil

compaction and poor soil drainage, which after wet weather reduces the oxygen content in the soil and creates ideal conditions for the insects.

Broiler farm ticks council’s boxes THE DEVELOPMENT application for an eight shed, 400,000-bird free-range poultry farm south of Harlin was approved by Somerset Regional Council (SRC) on September 12 during their ordinary meeting.

Councillor Jason Wendt said food industries like poultry represented 16.6% of employment in Somerset, between shed construction, animal husbandry, land management and trucking.

“It kind of snowballs in its potential for employment,” Cr Wendt said.

“Because they’re so intense and you’re dealing with such large turnovers, from a gross income point of view it’s the biggest agricultural income we have.”

Amanda Holly said the group had several concerns about the location of sheds over minor watercourses, proximity to core koala habitat, water

supply, impacts to neighbours and general concerns around factory farms.

chickens are kept in sheds with around 50,000 other birds, and are only 5 or 7 weeks old when they are sent to slaughter.

“Ultimately, we’d like to see governments at all levels start to move towards kinder and more sustainable farming practices.”

Somerset Regional Council is proud to be a Foundation Sponsor of Your Town.

Supporting local is a way of life

ADVERTORIAL INVESTING in local communities is everyone’s responsibility and that’s why Somerset Regional Council is proud to be a Foundation Sponsor of Your Town.

The promotion actively supports the ‘buy local’ message which is all about encouraging people to shop and buy locally.

Somerset Regional Council Mayor Graeme Lehmann

said it was more than just an important message, but a way of life.

“When you buy local, it stays local,” he said.

“More jobs will be created in your town, the community will prosper and people will be more connected than ever to their region.

“I was born and raised in the Somerset region and I’ve seen many small businesses over that time do it tough,

including my own, that’s why , NQRZ ¿UVW KDQG KRZ LPportant it is to shop local and support our community.

“It’s something myself and my fellow councillors are so passionate about and I encourage everyone in the community to become passionate about it too.”

Cr Lehmann said small businesses had found it particularly tough the past two years on the back of a pan-

demic and natural disasters.

“There’s no doubt about it, COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions placed a lot of stress on small business and the families that rely on that income,” he said.

“With the festive season just around the corner I encourage everyone to spend their money locally and support these businesses.

“These purchases truly PDNH D GL൵HUHQFH LQ WKHLU

lives and the more money we can spend locally, the more our region will prosper.”

Somerset Regional Council does whatever it can to support local businesses because it’s critical for the future growth of Somerset.

Audit Committee member and Deputy Mayor Councillor Helen Brieschke said council kept money circulating in the local economy by employing and buying locally

where possible.

“Council’s payments to local businesses during the ¿QDQFLDO \HDU ZDV 78.4% of Council’s entire rates and charges revenue for the year,” she said.

“This clearly demonstrates how much council puts back into the community.

“Wherever the opportunity exists, we will choose to go with a competitive local supplier.”

Park Lake Adare: supporting community, environment and employment in Your Town

BY JACOB HAYDEN PETER Brown is an experienced property developer supportive of the communities in which his new estates are located.

Park Lake Adare is proudly a Your Town Foundation Sponsor, and project director Peter Brown is excited to add recreational space for the greater community over the next three years.

The environmentally friendly 300-acre estate, located north of Redbank Creek Road, provides a country lifestyle for homebuyers with easy access to local schools, churches, and sporting facilities right in the heart of the Lockyer Valley.

“The Lockyer Valley is very well sought after by people looking for an

alternative to city living,” Mr Brown said.

“We want to support the local community by providing an environmentally friendly, sustainable land development and we hope that our buyers and people in Adare and Gatton support the community in the same way by shopping locally for fresh produce.

“This area is the salad bowl of Queensland, so you don’t get better opportunity to buy fresh produce than that.”

Park Lake Adare is the second local project undertaken

by Mr Brown, following the success of Parklands at Clarendon.

He said the estate aimed to support the community, environment, and employment.

“I’ve always tried to use local trades and local services… they’re keen to

get into the work and this is a great opportunity to boost growth locally”, he said.

“It means you’re buying local produce and helping employment in the area and assisting the community.

“We’re also supporting a local contractor from Toowoomba, Newland Civil, so we’re providing employment for people up the hill as well.”

Around 100 acres of the estate will be left as public open space and natural parkland.

“Half of the estate is lots and half of the estate is natural setting plus roads, so it’s a very high ratio of public open space to developed land,” Mr Brown said.

The public space will remain an environmentally friendly home for native

fauna, including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, goannas, and birdlife.

“Our development approval is very much environmentally focussed.”

“We are also planting quite big areas with new tubestock to get re-growth going,” Mr Brown said.

The 2021 Census data revealed a 17.64% population growth in Adare alone since the 2016 Census, and Mr Brown said he had seen massive growth in both the Lockyer Valley and Somerset regions since moving here three years ago. ³, UHPHPEHU WKH ¿UVW WLPH I drove through Esk and I thought ‘there’s nothing there’, but now it’s just boomed, and Esk is only one example,” he said.

“Those regional towns

have grown amazingly.”

Park Lake boasts all the conveniences of everyday life less than ten minutes from the estate, with three major VXSHUPDUNHWV D SRVW R൶FH eight local schools, an aquatic centre, business centres and medical centres.

Mr Brown said he was excited to think that local schools and community groups could make use of the parklands and lake.

“We’re also planning to do DQ DQQXDO ¿VKLQJ FRPSHWLWLRQ for the kids at the lake and throw our support behind sporting teams and schools,” he said.

All of Park Lake Adare’s streets will be named for Australian Diggers that died in battle during WWI. “We’ve just commenced pre-selling and we’ve sold 24

lots,” Mr Brown said.

“Construction starts on the last week of November.”

The land will be subdivided into 145 lots, each around 4,000-4,500 square metres, many of which will have lake front views.

The estate includes a 20,000 sqm lake, community pavilions and barbecues for families, 44 hectares of managed public open space, and easy access to onramps to the Warrego Highway.

The properties will also be NBN ready with full pressure town water available.

Prices range from $280k, with lake front lots in the early $300ks.

Inland Rail opportunities arrive for Gatton and Ipswich businesses ADVERTORIAL GATTON and Ipswich businesses have the chance to discover the commercial opportunities available from the construction of Inland Rail in Queensland at a special Business Capability Workshop to be held on November 22.

Your Town Major Sponsor, The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), wants to ensure local and regional suppliers can take advantage of opportunities presented by Inland Rail in Queensland.

ARTC Inland Rail supply chain manager Jason Manttan said Inland Rail was about delivering real and lasting opportunities for regional communities.

“While we’re expecting to generate direct and indirect

supply and job opportunities during construction, we’re also working to prepare communities for other project opportunities by helping to upskill local and First Nations businesses,” Mr Manttan said.

“Our business capability building workshops are just part of Inland Rail’s commitment to communities where Australia’s largest freight project is being built and operated.”

To help inform and educate local businesses about Inland Rail opportunities, the Inland Rail Skills Academy and Industry Capability Network (ICN) will host a free business capability workshop on November 22 from 3-6.30pm at the North Ipswich Reserve

Local and First Nations businesses are encouraged to make the most of the ARTC’s Business Capability Workshop.

Corporate Centre.

Participating businesses will be able to learn about the ICN Gateway – the supplier engagement portal used by Inland Rail and hundreds of major projects across the country.

The workshop will give businesses an understanding of the supplier registration process including how to communicate information about their business and submit a compliant Expression of Interest on the ICN

Gateway.

Attendees will also be provided with access to one-onone support and practical tips from ICN Queensland and Inland Rail representatives at each event, which will help them make the most of the

portal.

“Local and First Nations businesses are crucial to the work we do and to their communities,” Mr Manttan said.

“Supporting them to build their capability will not only help them embark on new endeavours, but it will help drive positive change and boost employment along the alignment.

“With Inland Rail already delivering business uplift and MREV FRQ¿GHQFH LQ FRPPXnities along the rail corridor, business capability building workshops such as these will help ensure Inland Rail’s positive impacts go beyond the construction period for the project.”

More information is available on the ARTC website.

Building strong rapport in town ADVERTORIAL DEREK Pingel has been a local businessman for more than 40 years.

The Lockyer Trailers owner said one of the most important things he has learned is businesses are successful when they are invested in their town.

“In my experience, if you ignore the town businesses and try to do everything outside of town then you don’t get buy-in or loyalty from the broad spectrum of businesses in your town,” he said.

“Whatever we do, if it’s procurable here, we’ll go here.”

His advice for fellow business owners is to never underestimate the power of word of mouth.

A referral or recommendation for your businesses is worth its weight in gold, but you must put in the effort.

“If you don’t build that rapport in town, and you didn’t have that business support – and it’s a two way street – that wouldn’t happen, and they won’t recommend you,” he said.

“But you had better have good customHU VHUYLFH LQ WKH ÀUVW SODFH µ The value of good customer service is one he has learned in his career.

service beats price every time,” he said.

Derek said the Your Town campaign brings businesses together.

“It shows the different businesses and the variety of businesses we have,” he said.

“Don’t discount what we’ve got right under our nose because it’s amazing.”

Your Town shop local promotion launches today

BY BRUCE HORROCKS AS EVERYONE’S thoughts move towards the Christmas silly season, The Independent is rolling out our Your Town shop locally promotion.

We thank every one of our sponsors for their support.

Your Town is a shop locally promotion that encourages residents to shop in their town and not in the big cities.

In these days of the big box retailers, where service sometimes seems to have been forgotten, Your Town

asks that you remember the local retailers in your area.

Many times, it may seem easier to buy it online in the comfort of your own home but what happens if you buy the wrong size or if it breaks or if it simply just does not do what you want it to do?

Can you take it back for a full refund?

Is it backed by a warranty?

That’s why shopping in your town is so good.

Most of the time you know the person in the business, and they are only too happy to see that the

product works as it should.

Most businesses are only too happy to assemble and deliver for a small fee meaning it works perfectly from the time you get it home.

As part of Your Town, The Independent will give away a total of $6000 in gift cards to six lucky shoppers who buy at Your Town participating businesses over the six-week period between November 9 and December 14.

Those gift cards will then be spent within those businesses.

Businesses have done it

pretty tough this year in the aftermath of COVID and WKHQ WZR ÀRRGV DQG RXU region is still feeling the H൵HFWV So, when shopping this Christmas look for the stores across the region displaying the blue and white Your Town posters and be sure to give them your support.

All those businesses want is the opportunity.

As a community newspaper The Independent urges you to Shop Local, Buy Local, Eat Local and Support Local in Your Town this Christmas.

Bruce Horrocks wants you to Shop Local, Buy Local, Eat Local and Support Local in Your Town this Christmas.

Rare 1978 HZ Premier Wagon

BY DAVID GREER

TRUE classic Holden car lovers, Kensington Grove residents Warren and Helen Hamlin are the owners of this very special Sage Green HZ Premier Wagon.

After owning this wagon for the past few years, they have it back to its former glory.

They restored the paint, freshened up thee 5.0lt ew cam motor with a new and lifters and kept it very tidy all over.

What makes this Premier Wagon special is the factory options it came with.

The original apowner just so happened to work for General Motors Holden Factory in Acacia Ridge, Brisbane back in the 1970s.

The GMH employee ordered this one with some factory features not seen on PDQ\ ZDJRQV VWUDLJKW R൵ WKH production line, including a Statesman front end, Sports Wood Grain Dash, Sports steering wheel, factory roof racks, in the back factory venetians and an electric tailgate.

Plus it came with the great sounding factory 5.0lt V8 with air-conditioning and power steering.

Warren told me the car was handed down to the son of

Very straight Sage Green HZ Premier Wagon. INSET: Original factory 5.0 Litre V8.

the original owner, so they are the second family to own this wagon.

This wagon is not the only Holden this couple own.

they may be another story for another date, so watch this space.

Warren said he makes sure all his classics are serviced and in top condition so they are very reliable and can be driven whenever and

wherever.

He said this wagon did a few long trips without missing a beat, up to Mt Larkin near Gladstone and a couple of trips out to Goondiwindi as well.

Warren said the only

PRGL¿FDWLRQV WR WKLV IDFWRU\ wagon were the American Race Wheels and a slight lowering.

Warren tells me his love for cars started as a teenager and before even having a licence he purchased a HG

Kingswood.

Helen and Warren are members of the Ipswich Classic & Muscle Car Club and like to get all their club registered cars out and about to car meets and cruises as much as possible.

MOORE WEEKLY STARS November 7-13, 2022 ARIES Finances, joint ventures, secret deals and trust issues are on the table. But don’t spoil a potentially productive week by being gung-ho and reckless (especially on Wednesday). Slow down, think before you speak and consult with loved ones and colleagues before you make any important moves. Tuesday’s Lunar (FOLSVH KLJKOLJKWV KLFFXSV LQ \RXU ÀQDQFLDO management. Strive to be less impulsive and extravagant, and more cautious with cash and credit.

TAURUS This week’s Lunar Eclipse (in your sign) emphasises your practical side. So do your best to handle current situations in a suitably sensible and pragmatic fashion. When it comes to a romance, work partnership or joint venture, avoid getting stuck in a boring rut. ,QQRYDWLYH 8UDQXV SXVKHV \RX WR ÀQG FUHDWLYH ways to express yourself personally and within relationships. But don’t believe everything you hear! Keep your Bulldust Detector switched onto high.

GEMINI With the help of the Lunar Eclipse, use the power of your fertile imagination and trusty intuition to get to the bottom of a problem that’s been bothering you. If you listen to the wisdom of your inner voice (and pay attention to the symbolism in your dreams) it will point you in the right direction. You’re also keen to communicate creatively with work colleagues or do a favour for a close friend. But don’t get carried away and promise more than you can deliver.

CANCER The silvery, changeable Moon is your power planet, and many sensitive Crabs feel emotionally volatile and vulnerable around the time of the Full Moon. Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse is in earthy Taurus, when you’ll feel more grounded (and less moody) than usual.

But Saturn and Uranus could disrupt a relationship. So try to be extra careful and consistent in the way you communicate with others (especially children, teenagers, colleagues and close friends).

LEO Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are transiting through your partnership zones. So accept extra relationship responsibilities with grace and good humour, as you show other people what you are really capable of. But – courtesy of the Uranus opposition and the Saturn square – expect some disruptions and dilemmas at home and/or work. Things will gradually settle down if you choose diplomacy over drama, encouragement over criticism and acceptance over judgement.

VIRGO Are your aspirations ambitious enough? This week there’s no room for false Virgo modesty or passive procrastination! The planets stimulate your thought processes and encourage you to come up with a cracking plan and stick to it. Begin with a dream and then work hard to make it a robust reality. But remember mighty Mars is reversing through your career and life direction zones (until January 12) so you’ll have to be extra patient and persistent.

LIBRA

Stylishly elegant Librans appreciate quality and luxury, but don’t overdo it or you’ll end up being the most beautiful bankrupt on the block! This week Saturn, Uranus and the Lunar Eclipse all stir up your money and self-esteem zones. So it’s time to get your ÀQDQFHV LQ RUGHU DQG EH WUXH WR WKH DXWKHQtic you. Sunday is the best day of the week, when Venus (your patron planet) and Pluto turbo-charge love, passion, pleasure and play (especially at home).
