A WORD FROM GRACE With Christmas around the corner and clouds gathering on the horizon, it is more important than ever to keep ourselves and each other safe.

Sadly, a man lost his life in Central Queensland last week when his ute washed off the Gregory Highway.

Any loss of life on our roads is a tragedy and I hope we make it through the wet summer with no more fatalities.

After Friday’s storms the roads were a scary place to be in the dark.

Please drive safely and remember the matra – if it’s flooded, forget it.

On a lighter note, it was delightful to attend the Mayoral Christmas Carols on Saturday night.

The hall was packed; nothing brings people together like music and Christmas.

I look forward to going to more Christmas festivities across the region in coming weeks.

Hopefully the rain – while desperately

We recently held a series of Drought & Climate Adaption Workshops in Gatton, Boonah, Beaudesert, Lowood and Toogoolawah as part of the Drought Resilience Project and appreciate the support we had from landholders and Industry.

The Healthy Land & Water Building Drought Resilience in SEQ Landscapes project is funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund (FDF).

This project will build drought resilience through co-ordinated delivery of capacity building activities with industry and Government partners, assisting farmers to develop Plans which incorporate learnings and adaptation strategies to manage drought risks, and accelerating the

For those who have lost loved ones this year, it can be a difficult time of year and my thoughts are with you.

I applaud the Uniting Church’s initiative to hold a community service next week (see page 4) and I hope those who attend find peace and solace in coming together.

And while our American counterparts were celebrating Thanksgiving last week, I hope all of us here can find something to be thankful for every day of the year.

Kerbside recycling coming next year

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Somerset residents will get kerbside recycling collection after council agreed to a new waste collection contract at last Wednesday’s ordinary meeting.

Councillor Sean Choat said although it has taken time for council to provide a recycling service, they have been careful to get a service residents can be proud of.

“Over the years, this council has been condemned… by some sections of the community for our approach to waste management,” Cr Choat said.

“I think today shows [we are] being very careful with rate payers’ money and making sure that we get a service that they actually can rely on.”

There are two contractors currently engaged in a kerbside collection contract, which expires at the end of the financial year.

Residents of the former Kilcoy Shire have both general waste and recycling services administered by Cleanaway Industrial Solutions.

But those in the former Esk Shire have only a general waste service, provided by Ipswich City Council Waste Services.

Councillor Jason Wendt said waste collection has been a ‘hot topic’ since the election and hopes the awarded contract will satisfy the sections of the community who objected on cost, and those who wanted a recycling service.

“Hopefully the balance can satisfy both sections of

the community and we move forward positively,” he said.

Councillors unanimously voted in favour of a new seven-year contract with Ipswich City Council’s Waste Services unit to commence July next year.

Somerset Regional Council mayor Graeme Lehmann said Ipswich Waste was appointed following an exhaustive competitive process overseen by independent consultants, Peak Services.

“There will be an additional cost for these new services of less than $1 per week per household and we will work hard on sticking to our affordable rates effective services slogan,” Cr Lehmann said.

Council will release more over the coming months on delivery of new bins, collection dates and other matters.

Somerset residents will have kerbside recycling from July next year.

Wet summer reminder: If it’s flooded, forget it.

After heavy downpours late last week and with flood warnings issued for most of southeast Queensland, councils and government are issuing a timely reminder: if it’s flooded, forget it.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey urged drivers to use common sense when driving during wet weather.

“Flood waters can be deceptive, with hidden dangers below the surface, so it’s not worth risking it just to get home or to work faster,” Mr Bailey said.

“The Bureau of Meteorology has reported a La Nina weather event off the coast, so it is expected to be a very wet Summer.

“This brings a higher risk

of tropical cyclones and flood inducing rains.

“Drivers need to pay attention and always drive to the conditions.”

Mr Bailey said many Queenslanders still tempt fate when driving through floodwaters.

“The bravest thing a driver can do is back away from floodwaters,” he said.

“It’s easy to assume the water will be shallow, but waters can rise quickly and move swiftly.

“We want every Queenslander to make it home today, tomorrow and every day so if it’s flooded, forget it.”

Police Minister Mark Ryan said the rapidly approaching summer was

shaping up as a particularly challenging one.

“All the expert advice points to plenty of wet weather and that means challenging road conditions,” Mr Ryan said.

“If everyone makes good decisions, makes sensible decisions, and treats hazardous conditions with the right level of caution, then

we can save lives and keep people safe.”

For storm-related assistance, call the SES on 132 500 or download the SES Assistance QLD app.

Lockyer Valley residents can get up to date information, including road closures, at https://disaster.lvrc.qld.gov.au.

A warm welcome is extended to all for a Community Memorial & Thanksgiving Service Tuesday December 7th 2021 at 10am Gatton Uniting Church, Maitland St.

An opportunity to say your farewell & remember those who departed from our midst during the lockdowns & travel restriction periods.

The service will include a candle lighting time.

You may bring your own candle or there will be some available at the Service.

Morning tea & fellowship time will follow the service.

Community service for those who have lost

BY GRACE CRICHTON

It has been a difficult two years for those who have lost loved ones, and the Gatton Uniting Church want to create a place for the community to find closure.

COVID lockdowns, restrictions, and closed borders have reduced funeral numbers and taken away a vital part of the grieving process for some.

Pastor John Braithwaite said the Uniting Church is open to the community next Tuesday for their first Community Memorial and Thanksgiving Service.

“There are a lot of people who are still grieving,” he said.

“We are doing this service on behalf of the community.”

It is an opportunity to say farewell and remember those who departed during lockdowns and travel restriction periods.

The memorial service will be a time of reflection, meditation, but also celebration of the life of those we have lost.

There will be some hymns and a candle lighting time during the service.

Attendees are welcome to bring their own candle and some will be provided.

“The service will be quiet, peaceful, and reflective,” Pr Braithwaite said.

“The church is open for prayer and meditation.”

Pr Braithwaite said some people who missed out on attending funerals during COVID may find attending the church service comfort-

ing.

“A lot of people get comfort from the church,” he said.

“We’re all in this together.”

The service is open to all in the community, regardless of denomination, religion affiliation, and nationality.

“Families and children are welcome as well,” Pr Braithwaite said.

With many international visitors and residents in the community, many may have lost loved ones back home.

“The Uniting Church does a lot of good in the community, and this is an extension of that good work,” Pr Braithwaite said.

The service is on Tuesday December 7 at 10am at Gatton Uniting Church, Maitland St. Lifeline 13 11 14

Bike riders to hit the trail on Australia Day The Australia Day Bike Ride on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) is back.

In its fifth year, Council has approved a sponsorship request from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Users Association for the event, which Economic Development and Tourism Committee representative Deputy Mayor

Helen Brieschke said was likely to attract 300 riders.

“Council is very supportive of events that promote and increase the use of our excellent reactional facilities, and the BVRT is one our key attractions,” she said.

“The Australia Day Bike Ride is a family friendly

event, with all ages and riding experience welcome on the Fernvale to Esk route.

“This is a great way to begin celebrating Australia Day, with a 6am start and free gourmet breakfast burger at the finish line to set up riders for other activities happening around the Somerset region.”

Funds flow for elderly welfare

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Since Ipswich took over the running of Laidley Meals on Wheels in March, the former Laidley committee have taken it upon themselves to give the remaining Laidley Meals on Wheels funds back to the community.

The committee have formed the Support for Laidley Welfare Group and are redistributing funds to local groups who support the needs and welfare of elderly people in the Laidley community.

Last week, the Support for Laidley Welfare Group made donations to Kambu Health and Spirit of the Valley Events Inc. Support for Laidley Welfare secretary Bob Schwede said they felt an obligation to give the funds back to the elderly community of Laidley.

“Because the money came from this area, we want to put it back to this area to help the elderly,” Mrs Schwede said.

Spirit of the Valley Events’ Idell Wadley said their funds will go toward six Youth and Elders Luncheons next year.

“We’re giving them nutritious meals but also that social interaction,” she said.

“The youth prepare and serve

the meals and the Elders of all nationalities will be there and they can engage with the young people.”

Kambu health program manager Courtney Cardow said the donation will go toward Elders

in the Laidley community.

“We’re going to be looking at supporting them with food, and we do have a Christmas event for the Elders,” she said.

“We appreciate the donation and it really does help us sup-

port the Aboriginal and Torres Strait families.”

If your group or organisation supports elderly health and welfare you can contact the Support for Laidley Welfare Group by email or post.

Groups must be an incorporated association, operate within the 4341 or 4342 postcodes, and not be a sporting club.

Contact sflwg@yahoo.com or send a letter to PO Box 413, Laidley 4341

Poor driver behaviour

Lowood Police are reminding motorists of their obligations to Road Safety, particularly the Fatal Five: Speeding, Drink/Drug Driving, Seatbelts and Driver Distraction/Fatigue.

Targeted traffic enforcement in the Lowood township last week saw more than 50 Traffic Infringements issued, five Drug Drivers and one Drink Driver detected.

With such disappointing driver behaviour demonstrated, increased traffic enforcement can be anticipated.

Police from several Stations attended a serious Traffic Crash in Mount Tarampa early on November 17.

The incident involving a Cement Truck resulted in the driver of a sedan pronounced deceased at the scene and a young male airlifted to hospital with significant injuries.

Lowood Station has experienced several busy weeks with recent inclement weather and flooding adding to Calls for Service across the region.

SRC applies for vital infrastructure funding for bridges, roads Somerset Regional Council will apply for Australian Government funding for more priority infrastructure funding.

Infrastructure Recovery Sub-Group member Jason Wendt said council are

working to secure as much funding as possible.

“We will apply for funding under the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program and the Bridges Renewal Program where we have had significant

success in the past for vital local infrastructure projects throughout Somerset,” he said.

“The largest proposal is the replacement of Lester Kropp Bridge on Neurum Road which we have been

planning for two years now.

“This is a long single-lane bridge which is around 80 years old on Lake Somerset and carries hundreds of trucks and cars each day.

“It is also a tricky build because the bridge stands

in near permanent water and is approached by a long causeway.

“The other grant proposal includes replacing several major steel culverts which are becoming a safety risk, improving bends and dips

on Gregors Creek Road and further widening and strengthening work on Lowood Minden Road.

“We would be grateful for community support for these projects while we seek funding for them.”

Owner Steve Ruhle, who also owns the Plainland store, said he has been looking to expand into Gatton for five years and the team have been working hard over the past several months to get the store ready to open.

“We’ve had the doors open for a little while now, and let people come and have a look and buy things to test the system, but today is the official opening,” Mr Ruhle said on Saturday.

There are 25 team members employed across the two stores.

“We’ve put on a couple of new people and some part time staff have gone full time,” he said.

Health Notes

by Marita FitzGerald

Heartburn / Heartache As the festive season is fast approaching so is the incidences of heartburn. Heartburn (gastrooesophageal reflux or indigestion) is very common.

Most of us will experience heartburn at some point – whether it’s from eating and drinking too much or after a big meal, or from undertaking strenuous activity too soon after eating, or as a symptom of pregnancy.

If you only suffer from the occasional episode of heartburn, or your symptoms are mild, over-thecounter (OTC) antacids available at your pharmacy may provide symptomatic relief. Antacids act to relieve heartburn by neutralising stomach acid. These medicines are available as tablets or liquids, and should be taken when symptoms occur. Antacids may have an effect on other medicines you may be taking.

Heartburn is caused by the contents of the stomach coming back up into the oesophagus (the ‘food pipe’), resulting in a burning sensation in the chest or throat.

As the stomach contents are mixed with stomach acid, digestive enzymes and chemicals, the regurgitation or backwash causes a burning feeling. This is generally described by reflux sufferers as beginning in the stomach or lower chest and moving upwards behind the breastbone towards the neck or throat.

If you experience occasional, but regular, heartburn symptoms you may benefit from an H2-receptor antagonist. These medicines partially inhibit the secretion of acid in the stomach by blocking histamine receptors. Because less acid is being produced, you experience fewer symptoms. Some of these medicines are available without a prescription.

Persistent reflux that occurs more than twice a week is referred to as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and can eventually lead to more serious health problems. Ongoing treatment and management is usually necessary.

Three types of medicines are available in Australia to treat the symptoms of heartburn and reflux. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist about the best medicine for you and your symptoms, particularly if are taking any medicines for other conditions.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce stomach acid by blocking acid-secreting cells. They provide more effective acid suppression than H2-receptor antagonists – relieving symptoms and allowing inflammation on the oesophagus to heal. Some PPIs can be purchased from a pharmacy OTC for shortterm use For more information, you can get an excellent Fact Card titled Heartburn and indigestion from pharmacies that provide the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia’s (PSA) Self Care health information.

History group finish year on a high note The Toogoolawah & District History Group ended the year on a high note at their final meeting at Toogoolawah Hotel.

The club heard an outstanding address by Brisbane author Caylie Jeffrey who spoke about her book, Under the Lino.

Her address covered all the extraordinary research activity that followed some unexpected finds ‘under the lino’ in a colonial house her family was restoring in Brisbane.

This has led to the formation of other groups working in a similar way in Brisbane and Caylie has now inspired some of the Toogoolawah locals to do more research and to write down their family stories.

The meeting was followed by a delicious Christmas

Getting together for a great cause A fundraising event is being held this Saturday at the Lockyer Valley Sports and Aquatic Centre in Gatton to support National Bandanna Day and the Canteen Foundation.

Kicking off at 12pm, event organiser Susan Kitchen is hoping for a big turnout, with the day packed with fun for the kids, including raffles, a sausage sizzle, and prizes.

“We’ve catered for up to 200 people so hopefully we get good numbers,” Ms Kitchen said.

“There will be lots of little prizes for the kids to win too, and free lolly bags and little toys, with every child getting some bandanna sunscreen.

Ms Kitchen said the support of local businesses has

“Children’s cancer is a big deal, and my focus is on keeping children wise to sunscreen, to some cancers

that cancer doesn’t discriminate,” Cr Milligan said.

“Even as adults it’s a really difficult thing to wrap your head around, but I think it’s far more difficult when it’s a young person who is just really beginning life.”

The Gatton Skatepark will soon undergo a major expansion, thanks to funding from the Australian Government.

Lockyer Valley Deputy Mayor and Community Facilities Portfolio Councillor Jason Cook said the funding for Gatton Skatepark upgrades totalled more than $380,000.

“The upgrades will include the addition of a bowl section and we will also add a host of street skate items to the skatepark, including grind rails, a half pipe and a quarter pipe,” Cr Cook said.

“Night lighting will mean users of the facility will be able to skate at night, which will be perfectly timed for the warmer weather that will be upon us by the completion of the project.

“These upgrades were

highlighted as a need from the community for many years now and follows community consultation with skatepark users in 2019.

“Unfortunately, due to funding timelines and contractor availability, we need to undertake this project during the summer school holidays with works requiring a full closure of the skatepark.”

Council secured grant funding from the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCIP).

Construction will continue until late January 2022, weather permitting.

The skatepark will be closed during the construction period and council thanks users and residents for their understanding and cooperation.

Happy 100th birthday to Ivy

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Ivy Heck’s 100 years have been blessed.

She celebrates this milestone birthday today, December 1.

Ivy was born in 1921 in Marburg and spent her childhood on the family farm in Glamorgan Vale.

Her parents were dairy farmers and with her two sisters she spent her youth helping out on the farm.

“At home, I used to help do the milking and chores outside, there was plenty to do,” Ivy said.

“We had lots of hard work to do, I used to even use a horse and do a bit of farm work.”

She walked the three miles to school at Lark Hill across the paddocks with other neighbourhood kids.

“Later on, I changed schools to Glamorgan Vale because we could ride a horse then,” Ivy said.

It was at Glamorgan Vale school that she met Les. “I had a lovely friend when I got to Glamorgan Vale school and she used to talk about him,” Ivy said.

Les would help her mount her horse after Sunday school at the Glamorgan Vale Methodist church.

After primary school, Ivy went to Marburg once a week to go to rural school.

Les carted water in the

drought and she would hitch a ride with him.

“When we’d come home from rural school we would catch up with his wagon,” Ivy said.

“As the years went on we got quite friendly.

“We both went to church down there, so we grew to the stage where we were in love and got married.”

Ivy and Les married on

April 24, 1940.

Les’ farm was only 15 minutes away from her family farm so she didn’t have to move far.

“We had quite a happy time, I liked it on the farm because I was used to it,” Ivy said.

After a decade on Les’ farm, milking by hand, electricity was connected in 1951.

“That was wonderful, we got milking machines then so

that was a lot better,” she said.

Ivy and Les had four children, Trevor, Denis, Caryn, and Bradley.

“I think it’s a good place to rear children, on a farm in the country,” Ivy said.

Denis took over the family farm when he married and Ivy and Les retired in 1975, moving to another house on the property.

In her retirement, Ivy did

volunteer work with the Blue Nurses shop in Lowood, and increased her involvement with church and the country women’s association (CWA).

“I did a lot of collecting for Blue Care, and I was in the [church] ladies fellowship, I was president there for a good few years,” Ivy said.

“I used to do a lot of cooking too, I like cooking.”

Her rosella jam won first prize at state level in CWA. “Fifty years I’ve been in the country women, I’m still there!”

She continues to go to church every Sunday and enjoys gardening and knitting.

Ivy and Les moved to Lowood nearly twenty years ago; Les passed away from a heart attack fifteen years ago.

They were married for 66 years.

“He was a very kind person,” Ivy said.

“He was a very good husband, we had a lovely marriage.”

Ivy said she still enjoys life and always had faith.

“I am a believer because when I’m on my own I talk to God and I’m sure he answers me,” she said.

“Sometimes I feel that way anyway.”

Ivy has eleven grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.

“I hope that I’ve showed a good example to the young people,” she said.

“I’ve been blessed over all these years.

“I always think the best is yet to be.”

Home of the Lockyer pioneer

BY GRACE CRICHTON

WITH LAIDLEY PIONEER VILLAGE

Could you imagine raising a family of ten children in a small wooden hut of four rooms?

Such was the case for many early pioneers, including Johann Desjardins.

The slab hut he built in 1885 is one of the prized relics of history in the Laidley Pioneer Village.

Desjardins came to Australia from Germany in 1882 at 18 years old and settled near Mt Mort, where he built the hut out of whatever materials were available.

With his wife Maria they had ten children between 1886 and 1904.

Timber slab buildings were a familiar feature of rural Australia through the nineteenth century.

Desjardins rented a 160 acre selection from the Crown for an annual fee of threepence per acre.

He built the slab using what skills he had and the limited timber resources available.

Walter Carl, the youngest of the ten Desjardins children, took over working the farm and lived in the slab hut with his wife Annie and their nine children.

He died in 1938 and the hut fell into disrepair until it was donated to the Laidley District Historical Society in

1969.

Society members dismantled the hut, piece by piece, carefully numbering each part of the building, and brought it to the Pioneer Village where it was reconstructed.

It was one of the first buildings in the Laidley Pioneer Village complex, which

officially opened in 1972 and was the first of such villages in Queensland.

Society member Anna Hahn said the building’s historical significance is a teaching tool for the next generation.

“It reflects their way of life, and nowadays it’s a good

teaching tool for children,” she said.

The society have created a booklet for visiting children asking questions like what they used for a toilet.

“You can imagine the insects, the lack of insulation, the whole experience would have been pretty unbearable

when it’s 40 degrees.

“That’s what appeals to me, is that it can be used as an educational tool.”

The slab hut has brought descendants of the Desjardins family to the Village, some of whom lived in or visited the hut in their youth.

The society has on file a

letter from Mrs J. Johnson of Salisbury, a descendant of Johann Desjardins, who read about the slab hut in a Queensland Country Life article on March 7, 1974.

I would also like to congratulate you and your fellow members on the magnificent job you have done on the restoration of the cottage… the cottage brought back many memories of school holidays spent there, and also to know that the work of the early pioneers and their families are remembered in your district.

On October 11, 2008 Kellie Desjardins married Matthew Ketter in the slab hut.

Although the shingles have been replaced with an iron roof, much of the hut is its original parts.

The slab hut has been carefully restored by members of the society.

Artefacts and furniture are displayed in the hut to demonstrate what pioneering and early twentieth century life was like in Queensland.

Inside is a painted photograph of Johann and Maria Desjardins, and viewers can only imagine the lives they lived inside these four walls.

Gatton golfer volunteer of the year

BY GRACE CRICHTON A Gatton golfer has been recognised as the state’s Volunteer of the Year by the Queensland Golf Industry for her tireless work at the club.

Jane McFarlane was nominated by Gatton Jubilee Golf Club and received the honour at the industry awards nights in late October.

“I was a bit overwhelmed” Ms McFarlane said.

“I wasn’t expecting it but it was fantastic, it was a good night.”

Born and bred on the Gold Coast, Ms McFarlane started playing golf when she was 17 years old.

Life and work took her around the country, and when she decided to settle in Gatton in 2014 she took up the clubs again.

“After I had kids and then when I moved to Gatton, I promised myself I would get back into golf,” she said.

In her nomination letter

for the award, Ms McFarlane was described as the most influential reason, alongside president Anthony Bauer, why the club is operational today.

Since their AGM last year, the committee have reviewed their bylaws and constitution, with Ms McFarlane stepping up to keep operational activities on track.

“I had to learn MYOB and the poker machines, and the kitchen was closed then so we’ve got that up and running again,” she said.

“Obviously [since] COVID we’ve taken a big hit, but golf has taken off with COVID, it’s one of the sports that you can play.

“Our social golf numbers have increased dramatically.

“We’re trying to build on that membership base.”

Mr Bauer said Ms McFarlane is very hardworking and committed to the club.

“I’ve never met anybody that has the passion about the

club that Jane has,” he said.

“She’s a driven, dedicated person.”

She stepped into the role of honorary secretary and has taken on admin duties, added 40+ hours of volunteer work for the club while also holding down a full-time job.

Ms McFarlane and the committee have worked hard to build membership numbers up over the past year, increasing by 50 in 12 months and now have over 200 members.

The golf club have big plans for the future, for golfers and non-golfers alike.

“We want to make this a hub for the community,” Ms McFarlane said.

“We want to extend out to hosting kids parties, laser tag out in the trees, outdoor cinema, we really want to make it the place to be, not just for golfers but for non-golfers too.”

“We’ve come leaps and bounds in the last twelve months.”

Jane McFarlane was awarded Qld Golf Industry’s Volunteer of the Year for her efforts at Gatton Jubilee Golf Club.

Hatton Vale kids get in Christmas spirit Rain couldn’t put a damper on Hatton Vale State School’s Christmas spirit.

Students, families and staff saw out the end of year at the school hall with student displays and pre-re-

corded class performances.

The concert and events planned for the oval were cancelled due to the impending storm, but families came to enjoy the P&C BBQ and students’ work.

Laidley’s kids splashed in puddles and played in the rain.

Rain, rain go away Friday’s storms may have deterred some, but not Laidley’s kids.

The Laidley Christmas Carnival was set up and ready for 6pm in Patrick St, before storms put a damper

on the events.

Children enjoyed the wet weather and played in the rain, enjoying sweet treats and gift bags until the carinval goers called it a night.

Historic sandstone finds new home Historic sandstone has been relocated by Transport and Main Roads during works to replace a single-lane bridge over Rocky Creek at Murphys Creek Road.

Transport and Main Roads (TMR) cultural heritage officer Faye Prideaux said the sandstone kerb and channelling (stone pitching) was found next to the old bridge during pre-construction work for the $11 million project.

“We were surprised to find the historic sandstone had remained intact throughout several upgrades and repairs,” Ms Prideaux said.

“We know the stone kerbing is pretty locally significant mostly in Toowoomba you see the bluestone kerbing, which is heritage protected.

“So when we first saw the white kerbing like this we thought this could indicate something important.

“We haven’t come across anything like this elsewhere in the region. It’s a part of TMR’s history.

“The local community ex-

Image looking southwest on Murphys Creek Road. This image shows the excavated kerbing and channelling located on the northeast and southeast sides of the road (Sher Mitchell, 2021)

pressed support to conserve it, so we relocated it to the Postmans Ridge Pioneer Memorial Hall down the road.”

Advance Archaeology company director Sher Mitchell,

who helped excavate the artefacts, said the sandstone kerb and channelling was part of the original Rocky Creek Bridge built by TMR in 1928.

“The sandstone was arranged

to help minimise erosion and direct water from Murphy’s Creek Road into Rocky Creek,” Ms Mitchell said.

“Advanced Archaeology arranged the sandstone to reflect

the original shape of the kerb and channelling.”

Postmans Ridge Pioneer Memorial Hall president Michelle McKenzie said the group was delighted to be able to

help conserve a piece of local history.

The bridge replacement works started in October this year and are expected to be completed in August 2022.

Cattle prices continue to soar

The price of cattle is continuing to rise, with sales reaching unprecedented levels that are smashing longstanding records as the year draws to a close.

David Stariha, who runs Stariha Auctions out of Laidley, Woodford and Eumundi, said the current trend is unheard of and is unsure why prices are continually rising.

“To be honest, I don’t really have a lot of answers because there’s no one to work out what’s going on or how long it’s going to last or what what’s happening really,” Mr Stariha said.

“A lot of cattle prices have

tripled in the last few years.

“All I can think is there might be combination of reasons.

“During the drought a lot of people destocked and were forced to sell everything, so everyone’s cattle numbers were low which now has a knock-on effect because there’s not as many cattle being yarded at all the sale yards.

“We’ve also had a terrific season coming out of winter, which is looking very positive for the time ahead.

“Everyone says it’s going to come down and going to get cheaper and I don’t

know how many times I’ve heard people say it can’t get dearer than it is now, yet it just keeps getting dearer and dearer.

“So basically, all the predictions are out the window, we just have no idea what’s going to happen next at the moment, and I don’t think anyone does.”

For Stariha Saleyards, David said the record prices have meant terrific numbers and support from loyal buyers.

“That’s why we get in the cattle, and we can keep turning out a decent sale,” he said.

Smart partnership for ag future A $9 million partnership will transform the Gatton Research Facility into a world-leading “Smart Farm” to accelerate the adoption of AgTech in Queensland’s horticulture sector.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the Smart Farm would be a centre of innovation.

“Queensland has a global reputation for high quality, safe horticulture products,” Mr Furner said.

“New technology is critical to further expanding markets and solving the challenges of labour management, product quality, climate variability and supply chain wastage.

“The Palaszczuk Government has partnered with Hort Innovation with combined

Michael Sippel (Lockyer Valley Growers Association), Jane Whiteman (Hort Innovation), Minister Mark Furner, Belinda Frentz (AusVEG) and Ian Layden (DAF).

funding of more than $9 million to drive the adoption of ag new technology.

“Together with industry and commercial partners

we’ll create an environment that fosters innovation and problem solving.”

Mr Furner said new infrastructure on the site will

include climate-controlled glasshouses, a retractable-roof protected cropping structure and cold rooms with the latest technology.

“This new infrastructure will also equip research staff with the latest tools and technology to manage pests and vegetable diseases,” Mr

Furner said.

AUSVEG Deputy Chair and Queensland vegetable grower Belinda Frentz said that the centre’s location in the heart of Queensland’s major vegetable producing region ensured its relevance and accessibility to growers.

“The Gatton Smart Farm will be one of Australia’s leading vegetable research centres,” Ms Frentz said.

“It will accelerate the adoption of AgTech and automation, develop climate-resilient, cost-effective protected cropping systems, and harness new post-harvest technologies to develop both domestic and export-ready supply chain systems.”

Hort Innovation Head of Extension Jane Wightman said access to new technologies had never been more important.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 ADVERTORIAL

Locals give a boutique shopping experience With the festive season upon us once again, now is the perfect time to buy local and support the Lockyer Valley’s unique business community.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council is once again partnering with the region’s business community to promote the “buy local” message and is the Foundation Sponsor of the “Your Town” initiative.

Council’s Mayor Tanya Milligan said supporting Your Town was all about Council playing a leading role in securing the long-term future of our region.

“I’m setting a challenge for our residents to make 2021 a local Christmas and buy your gifts right here, in the Lockyer Valley.

“It’s been a hard two years for our business community, so engage local services and dine and shop local for all of your needs.

“The Lockyer Valley is home to an assortment of boutique shopping, which allows for a bespoke experience.

“Here you can find everything from boutique fashion and gift stores including exquisite tea rooms selling tea sets, handmade chocolates and antique clothing, all scattered throughout our towns and villages.

“It’s been a busy and stressful year for everyone – don’t make this Christmas more taxing by travelling outside the region to do your

Christmas shopping.

“Stay here in the Valley for unique and original gifts that won’t break the bank.

“There really is no need to shop anywhere else,” she said.

Mayor Milligan said shopping local meant supporting local families.

“The shop owners will almost always be a family member, friend or neighbour, so we are encouraging residents to keep their money in the local economy.

“We want to make the Lockyer Valley a better place to live, work and play, but to do that we need to create jobs and encourage local businesses to grow and prosper,” Mayor Milligan said.

You know you can rely on the locals

Emily Hallas often hears the phrase ‘born and bred in the Lockyer Valley’ from many locals who still call it home.

It’s a phrase spoken with heart, pride, and passion.

“That’s what it means to us to be a part of the wonderful community,” Emily said.

The fourth-generation Lockyer Valley local knows what it means to love the town you’re in.

With mother Kylie Hallas, the pair help locals and newcomers find a new place to call home in the Lockyer Valley.

“All Property Real Estate is all about people,” Emily said.

“We wouldn’t have a successful company without our loyal community.

“Being a local in our strong and supportive community

is a bonus to our relaxed, country lifestyle here in the Lockyer Valley.

“It’s about all sticking together,” Kylie said.

After decades in business, Lockyer Trailers’ Derek Pingel’s advice to local businesses owners is to put customer service first.

“Over 42 years, the one thing I’ve learned is customer service beats price every time,” he said.

He said a common misconception is believing that all customers shop on price.

“So many people believe you compete on price,” Mr Pingel said.

“I’ve never done that.

“Offer a quality product for a good price and back it up with the best service possible.”

Lockyer Trailers sell product across the country.

“We always have about 50 trailers on site,” Mr Pingel said.

While most places can supply a comparable product, Mr Pingel said, there’s often a wait of a month or more so his business strategy is availability and service.

“What I try to do is stock as many as I can so I can say yes when you need one,” he said.

Lockyer Trailers’ Derek Pingel backs up quality with service.

With ensuring a good customer experience first and foremost, Mr Pingel said a business builds a good reputation.

He said one of the most important things he has learned in his career is businesses succeed when they’re 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.”

Ray Bachmann Real Estate sell slices of country living.

Local urges you to look in town first Ramon Bachmann is a proud local.

The Laidley business owner grew up in Lockyer Valley and has proudly run his father’s long-established real estate business for several years.

The late Ray Bachmann asked his son to join the family business over 20 years ago.

“I started off as a cabinet maker, then worked on farms, which I’ve always loved because I grew up on a farm,” he said.

“I was sort of floating along in life… then Dad roped me in and said ‘come down and try it.’”

He started as a property manager before moving to sales and has worked selling slices of country living in the Lockyer Valley ever since.

“I think I had the gift of the gab from the start, which I learnt off Dad,” he said.

Ramon said knowing the area and his local community is vital to his job.

“Everywhere I go, I tell people where I am from and what we have here,” he said.

“It’s important to me to promote our area.”

He said a little research can go a long way when it comes to supporting businesses in your town.

“Investigate your options,” he said.

“Look in town first before you go elsewhere because we have a lot more than people think.”

Keeping business local is worth it John Schollick has called the Lockyer Valley home for over twenty-five years and truly believes in backing local businesses.

With a long involvement with the Chamber of Commerce and several businesses operating successfully in the area, he’s made it his mission to back local initiatives.

“It’s hugely important that we have a thriving business community,” he said.

“Personally, I shop locally wherever I can because I need their support in turn.”

The owner of Lockyer Regional Water Distribution knows the region has done it tough over the past few years, but sees these hardships as a key reason why businesses communities need to band together.

“It’s really brought home to me the importance of working together,” he said.

“We need to work closely together and shop local, instead of going to the cities and big box

stores or online, to help the shops and services bounce back.

“Otherwise country towns like ours simply won’t survive.”

He urges individuals to look at the bigger picture and not just the bottom line.

“You might be able to get something cheaper at a shopping centre,” he said.

“And I know everyone is doing it tough, but think of the time and the fuel it would take you to travel to Ipswich or Toowoomba, not to mention paying for parking.

“Is it worth the saving?

“You’re better off paying a little bit extra at a shop in your own town instead of travelling.

“You save yourself time and fuel costs plus you’re making a family business in your town thrive – not contributing to some CEO’s Christmas bonus.”

John is proud to call the Lockyer Valley home and has no intention of leaving.

“It’s a beautiful place, why would you want to live anywhere else.”

Fiesta ST Hot Hatch ready for Oz The updated Fiesta ST has been revealed, featuring confident, fresh styling and an enhanced technology package making the compact hot hatch more future-ready than ever.

A bold, distinctive exterior takes Fiesta’s expressive design to a new level, with more road presence and unique styling elements as well as an expanded range of exterior colours.

New exterior styling in Fiesta ST includes a bonnet design that increases the height of the nose, combined with larger upper grilles.

The Ford “blue oval” badge is now displayed within the grille, rather than on the

bonnet lip.

Two new exterior colours complement the revised exterior styling - Boundless Blue and ST-signature Mean Green.

A fresh exterior design incorporates a more aggressive fascia appearance, with honeycomb upper and lower grilles alongside large lower side vents. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels feature a dark Magnetite finish.

New Performance Seats have been developed inhouse specifically to provide even greater support during high-performance driving and additional comfort on the road.

Fiesta ST features a 1.5litre

EcoBoost engine, which provides 147kW at 6,000 rpm while peak torque has increased from 290 Nm to 320 Nm between 1,600 rpm to 4,000 rpm.

Updated Fiesta ST introduces driving technologies designed to increase comfort, confidence and convenience for the drivers and passengers in scenarios from city driving to highway cruising.

Fiesta ST will be fitted with Matrix LED headlights, which adapt their beams.

The technology enables increased use of high beam to maximise night-time driving visibility while helping to reduce the risk of dazzling other drivers.

Fiesta ST Hot Hatch is ready for Australian Roads

Local property agent Mark Pitkin receives coveted award

Being in real estate is less about income, and more about building honest and loyal relationships, according to property expert Mark Pitkin. Recently, Mark was the runner up at LJ Hooker’s regional awards for most improved income, but in his eyes, what matters most is the valuable relationships he maintains with his clients.

Often told he’s “not your typical real estate agent”, Mark sees this as a compliment to his unique approach. He believes that people see the value in his

straightforward methods when it comes to the unpredictable property journey.

His ability to keep vendors and buyers informed throughout the whole process is what cements his reputation in the area.

“I build strong open honest loyal relationships with vendors and in a world where most things are very fickle, I value these relationships more than you know,” he said.

In his fifth year with LJ Hooker, Mark’s intention is to continue to do whatever it

Paris Granzien Property Management 0418 368 455

takes to achieve the best possible results for his clients, while maintaining a sincere, honest approach.

He believes these values go hand in hand with meeting client objectives.

“Getting great financial results for my clients is the priority. If you put it all together everyone wins. And that is something to be proud of.”

Wanting to relocate to the area? Call Mark at LJ Hooker to discuss the current market.

With the genuine threat of violent summer storms well and truly here, now is the time to be thinking about your property….specifically keeping it nice and safe.

Whether you're a homeowner, a landlord or a tenant, nobody wants their roof and ceiling caving in as a result of a torrential storm.

Yet, it can so easily happen, putting your valued possessions at risk.

Furniture, electrical appliances, photos and carpets are all at the mercy of the elements if your roof is compromised.

A dry autumn and winter can fill our gutters with all manner of leaves and debris and it's only once the skies open (and that rain buckets down) do we realise how dangerous those few months of neglect can be.

Blocked drains back up; and all that water needs to go somewhere - often straight back into your roof cavity, increasing the risk of electrical faults and structural damage.

Climbing on to a roof to clear the gutters can be quite an effort, so whether you want to tackle the Elders Real Estate Gatton 37B Railway Street, Gatton QLD 4343 Phone: (07) 5462 1788 Fax: (07) 5462 1846 W: www.gatton.eldersrealestate.com.au

Presented by Elders Real Estate Expert Mellissa Meldrum task yourself or leave it to a professional, it's a job that needs to be done - for your peace of mind AND the protection of your home.

And while it's important to be mindful of unwanted leaf deposits, the trees that deliver them can be just as dangerous.

Old, rotten branches can easily snap off in strong winds and can then smash your home's windows or extensively damage family vehicles sitting in driveways or carports.

Give them a quick inspection and trim next time you're in the garden and you'll be covered no matter what the weather brings.

Just remember that simple adage: "It's better to be safe than sorry" because a little preparation now can save you a world of heartbreak down the track.

NOVEMBER 29 – DECEMBER 5, 2021 ARIES

The Solar Eclipse encourages you to make decisions about your hopes and dreams for the future. The more ambitious your aspirations, the better! You’ll shun superficial encounters with others, preferring philosophical conversations with family, friends and colleagues. As Louisa May Alcott (this week’s birthday great) wrote: “We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.”

TAURUS

This week Mercury and the Solar Eclipse shine a bright spotlight on personal and shared finances, plus power and trust issues. You are pragmatic and have a good business brain - just make sure you’re using it! Ignorance is no excuse. Do all you can to improve your financial literacy ASAP. The Mars/Neptune trine is good news for a romantic relationship, a group project or helping a charitable cause. You’ll find creativity, compassion and kindness will take you far.

GEMINI

Prepare for a relationship renaissance as Mercury (your power planet) and the Solar Eclipse kick-start your love life. Attached Twins will shift into an important new phase of an established partnership, while some singles will go on a first date. With Saturn and Jupiter jumping through your travel and learning zone, 2022 looks promising for a local, interstate or overseas trip.

Somewhere adventurous, exciting and Covidsafe. A fresh education cycle is also on the cards.

CANCER

With Saturn and the Solar Eclipse activating your wellbeing zone, it’s time to improve your diet and get your body moving via a gym membership, a new exercise program or a vigorous workout in the great outdoors. A disciplined daily routine is the key to improved health outcomes. Having fun with a four-legged friend is also favoured. Your motto is from writer Mark Twain (who was born on November 30, 1835): “The human race has one really effective weapon and that is laughter.”

LEO

involving a neighbour or a family member. Mercury and Venus also encourage you to hold out the olive branch of peace as you crank up your diplomatic skills, sympathise and compromise.

Creative communication and smart negotiation are the secrets to smooth partnerships, as you take the time to talk things through. You could also make plans to study, teach, travel or undertake community service in the coming year.

SCORPIO Mercury and the Solar Eclipse are moving through your money and self-esteem zone. So they encourage you to take a good, long look at your bank balance, basic values, life philosophy and future aspirations. And how much do you truly value your authentic self, Scorpio? Remember, there is just no substitute for healthy, core self-esteem. Your mantra for the week is from entertainer Bette Midler (who turns 76 on December 1): “Cherish forever what makes you unique.”

SAGITTARIUS This week you’re ready to sparkle and shine, flirt and have fun, as Mercury and the Solar Eclipse light up your sign! With Saturn and Jupiter in your education and communication zone, you could find yourself studying, teaching, publishing or podcasting over the next few weeks. Your online presence could also take off, as Jupiter (your patron planet) boosts your social media profile until December 29. So make sure you have plenty of topical and interesting things to say.

CAPRICORN The planets send a media or educational opportunity your way but don’t sit on the sidelines and limit yourself, Capricorn! And don’t let negative self-talk stymie your upward trajectory. You are far better at what you do than you think you are. This week the Sun and Saturn (your patron planet) push you to shine like the inspiring professional you were born to be. So your motto for the moment is from writer C. S. Lewis (who was born on November 29, 1898): “We are what we believe we are.”

AQUARIUS

The Solar Eclipse encourages you to tap into your inner muse and be the creative Cat you were born to be. As Madonna (a fellow Lion) sings, it’s time to “Express Yourself”. But don’t let imaginative daydreams turn into escapist delusions (especially on Monday and Tuesday). Do your best to separate fact from fiction, in your personal and professional lives. Cast off the misguided misconceptions of others, express the authentic you, and shine your Leo light for all to see!

Do you know where you’re heading? With the Solar Eclipse stimulating your hopes and wishes zone, you need to have a long, hard think about creative adjustments that could improve your life in 2022. Have the courage to listen to your intuition and follow your dreams. Saturn encourages you to set goals, make plans and pay close attention to details. As writer (and Sagittarian birthday great) Mark Twain reminds us: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

VIRGO

PISCES

A close relationship could end up in a confusing mess if you misread each other’s words, actions and motives. So avoid jumping to conclusions and (when in doubt) don’t hesitate to ask for clarification. On Tuesday, your ruling planet Mercury connects with conscientious Saturn, so make it a priority to listen carefully, fine-tune details and complete practical projects. Saturday’s Solar Eclipse is all about re-connecting with family members and enjoying home sweet home.

LIBRA

Saturday’s Solar Eclipse signals a fresh start

Don’t procrastinate, Pisces! The Solar Eclipse ignites your ambition, and the Mars/Neptune trine stirs your restless wanderlust. So it’s time to expand your mind, spread your wings and plan an adventurous trip. Be inspired by this week’s birthday great, writer Mark Twain: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did …

Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Futsal club wraps Veterans cricket squad welcomes new members up first season

Gatton Futsal Club has proved a popular sport for children and adults in the region.

Veterans cricketer Jason Kleidon.

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Gatton Futsal Club wrap up their first season today in what has proved to be a popular sport.

South West Queensland Director of Futsal for the Australian Futsal Association (AFA) and coach Chris McLeod said the club attracted just under 150 players.

“It is has been a tremendous effort in our first season,” Mr McLeod said.

The club kicked off at the start of term 4, with players as young as 8, and most age groups reached capacity.

Izzy Mellon, 10, likes learning the skills of the game and playing with her friends.

“I like the fitness involved in it and the skills that you

need to be able to play and compete,” Izzy said.

“I also like playing futsal because I get to play with my friends.”

It has been a popular sport for adults as well.

“We have six men’s teams which is also a great effort for a small community in its first season,” Mr McLeod said.

The Redbacks Football Club and Lockyer Valley Sports and Aquatic centre have supported the club.

“Jackson Bell and Adam Halstead from the Redbacks [Football Club] who have been on board since day one,” Mr McLeod said.

Oliver Bell, 8, plays outdoor soccer and joined the futsal team to be like his dad, Jackson.

The youngest league, starting in year 2, is at capacity.

“I just want to get better at futsal like my dad,” Oliver said.

The season wraps up today with games and mini competitions for the kids, conclud-

ing with medallions and ice cream.

The men’s teams will play a series of round robin fixtures before the top two teams play off.

Lockyer Cricket Association (LCA) is looking for players aged in their late 40s and into their 50s to join the Veterans team in the off season.

Last season’s captain Randall Olm said the Lockyer squad came together nicely by the end of the season.

He said each player knew they would get a go and they were there to enjoy themselves.

Lockyer Veterans was formed in early 2015 as an over 60s team and quickly grew to two over 60s team plus and over 50s.

Most of the players in the over 50s team still play for clubs in the LCA summer competition as well.

For this coming veteran’s season, Lockyer is looking build up its base by drawing from the pool of player talent

from late 40s into the 50s that is in LCA. Leading LCA player Jason Kleidon joined Over 50s late in the season and found it very enjoyable but still competitive.

He is looking forward to the new season and encourages others in their 40s and 50s to think about playing Veterans in the off season.

Veteran’s cricket is played in the cooler months.

Matches are of 90 overs duration, and usually once every two weeks.

Selection for QLD and Australian representative teams are drawn from this competition.

Lakota Bronson crowned Muay Thai under 16’s Queensland Champion FROM PAGE 64 opponents,” Mr Bronson said.

With five two-minute rounds, Mr Bronson said it was a very tough fight.

“Her opponent was actually a very strong girl, really tough and really talented,” he said.

“It was a battle of wills really.”

Lakota said the feeling of being a Queensland Champion the title belt wrapped around her waist was pretty great, even with all the bruises still healing.

“It’s still sinking in, it was my hardest fight yet and I’ve got bruises all down my legs, on my feet and all over me,” she said.

Lakota said she overcame

the brutality with patience and timing.

“I had to stay patient because I’m usually a really aggressive fighter.. I had to wait and slowly tie her down

over the five rounds,” she said. Lakota plans to defend her Queensland title early next year, with plans of one day becoming Australian champion

BOWLS TOOGOOLAWAH BOWLS CLUB NEWS Thursday 25th November. Gerrit Winkeler, Len Smyth, Col Melser and Graham Heaton travelled to Yarraman for their Pub Day.

No play at home on Thursday due to rain.

On Saturday 26th November the Toogoolawah Primary School held a day of bowls and fundraising including the auction of some 40 or so items which continued well into the evening. A great day was had by all the 140 persons who participated in their fund-raising event. A big thankyou to those club members who helped with the day.

On Sunday 27th November we had six players who enjoyed a game of triples. Phil Gregory, Ian Bradow and Dot McVeigh were too good on the day for John Greany, Len Smyth and Robert Griffin. Raffle went to Robert Griffin.

Our next Pub Day and last for 2021 will be held on 7th December.

Our next scheduled club meeting will be held on Sunday 12th of December. All members are encouraged to attend and put forward any suggestions they may have in respect to the running of our club.

Members and Guests to note that: Our Club Christmas Break up will be held on the 12th December after which the greens will be closed for their annual renovations. We will be enjoying a game with afternoon tea after. Members are asked to bring a plate (with something on it, to share).

To ensure that we have other clubs visit Toogoolawah Bowls Club, it is essential that we are also represented at their clubs. Please make yourself available to represent Toogoolawah to ensure we are able to stay in the loop and remain viable. Don’t just leave it to the willing few.

If you haven’t renewed your membership, please do so ASAP and get involved.

To all residents of and visitors to the Brisbane Valley. Come along to our Social Days on Thursdays and Sundays to enjoy a game which gives you plenty of exercise and social networking. That invitation also extends to all ex-members who may like to re-join, and for those non players who may like to give it a go, the first game is on us. At a cost of $8.00 per game, sport and relaxation does not come cheaper than that. Age is not a barrier to playing and it is certainly not an excuse for not being involved or getting fit.

See you on the green
