Gatton Lapidary Club grinds into action

BY JACOB HAYDEN THE GATTON Lapidary Club has a new lease on life with the installation of seven grinding machines through a government grant.

Club secretary Leon Steinhardt said the club received $5,000 through the Stronger Communities Programme several months ago, and can now cater to more members through its new resources.

“They’ve only just been installed [two weeks] ago,” Mr Steinhardt said.

“You grind [the rocks] into shape and you go to another set of disks around the other side and polish the stone to make it shiny.

“You can do a range of things from hard rocks like agate to soft rocks like opal.”

Federal Member for Wright Scott Buchholz congratulated the club for

Gatton Lapidary Club president Cindy Thwaites, Jacinta Tindle-May and Peter Bettels using the new machines.

securing the funding.

“The new grinding machines will greatly improve infrastructure at the lapidary club to attract new visitors to the club, as well as making it VDIHU DQG PRUH H൶FLHQW IRU current visitors and groups,” Mr Buchholz said.

Mr Steinhardt said there was plenty of interest around town for grinding and polishing.

“We had the interest, but with the old machines we didn’t have the space for new people to come in,” he said.

“Now we can have seven

people working all the time without getting in people’s roads.

“We had a meeting on Monday the 9th and signed up four new members, which is what the idea was.”

Mr Buchholz said it was disappointing this would be the last round of funding under the Stronger Communities Programme.

“Local organisations... will, going forward, miss out on this vital funding opportunity, which has delivered real, WDQJLEOH EHQH¿WV WR RYHU volunteer run organisations in my electorate of Wright,” Mr Buchholz said.

Mr Steinhardt said the machines were a tremendous boost for the club.

“The club would like to really express its appreciation to Scott Buchholz and the Stronger Communities Programme,” he said.

Crafters drink cocktails with fellow fundraisers ROSEWOOD’S Lady Cilento Crafters and fundraisers Coralie Bradley and Esther Wiegand travelled to Queensland Parliament House for a cocktail reception with fellow Children’s Hospital Foundation fundraisers.

Mrs Bradley is a busy lady, selling plants every Saturday morning at the Big Orange in Forest Hill, and crafting quilts, toys, bibs and more for nearby hospitals.

She said she felt so privileged to attend the function on Thursday.

“It’s the community that does it, they support the Lady Cilento Plants by buying plants, which enables us to buy the materials to do the things we do,” she said.

A special highlight for Mrs Bradley was standing on the steps to Parliament House and meeting Her Excellency the

Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland.

“Her Excellency, she did a speech thanking everyone for the job they do for the Children’s Hospital Foundation,” she said.

“It was just, to me, a magical night.”

The crafters also donate Christmas gift bags to the Ipswich Hospital Chemo Day Treatment Unit every year in late November.

concerns Village creates community Key in Shaping

BY GRACE CRICHTON

IT TAKES a village to raise a child and a new community-centric initiative in Withcott is aiming to achieve just that.

Withcott Day Village and Family Resource Centre is on the precipice of launching as a place for the community to connect and thrive.

It is a project of Student Care Queensland and spearheaded by passionate local Rebecca ‘Lu’ Graw.

Thanks to a grant from Helping Hands Foundation, a team of volunteers have been renovating the old Withcott school house at Withcott Scouts over the past several months.

Initially, Lu said the village would hold playgroups for families with young children. ³:H ZDQW WR R൵HU UHVSLWH DQG opportunities for connection,” Lu said.

Eventually, as the project grows, it has the potential to be a space for workshops, school holiday programs, intergenerational playgroups, seminars, music and singing, cooking, and

counselling.

“We’re able to do a certain amount and look after the space but it’s up to the community to create the rest,” Lu said.

“It’s a canvas.”

Lu thanked Gatton Mitre 10 for their assistance with materials for indoor renovations.

The team are now seeking a fencer and fencing materials to help with repairs.

“We’ve got volunteers who are happy to help with labour, we just need materials and a little help from a pro,” Lu said.

The unspoken downside faced by new parents CONTRIBUTED

BY MIKE NOWLA NOWLAN VOLUNTEER BEYOND BLUE SPEAKER WOMEN are often told that giving birth is the happiest, PRVW IXO¿OOLQJ HYHQW LQ WKHLU lives, and I often wonder if this is a male theory.

Just the physiological changes that occur to a woman’s body during pregnancy and after giving birth can be very challenging to cope with.

Some sail through these events with a smile.

But many do not, and selfdoubt about their motherhood can arise, whether through the inability to breast feed, connect with their newborn, the

stress of a baby not sleeping, and a myriad of other issues of having a new human in your life.

This is all before taking into account the daily stress of managing a family household.

It is a pathway to anxiety and possibly depression.

Feeling inadequate in your role as a mother is common and okay.

Post-natal depression is very common, even if not commonly recognised.

Post-natal support workers need to be very conscious of the onset of depression and

provide the emotional support and encouragement that the mother needs, not just say ‘it will fade away’.

Depression does not fade away.

New mothers need to understand and be conscious of the signs relating to PND, and seek professional help.

The role of the man of the household can be hugely important in navigating the issues that arise during and after pregnancy.

Some men cope very well with supporting their partner; for others, it is a whole new, very challenging, emotional and physical ball game.

Fellas, this is a big time in your life too.

The Jendras chose the right person

BY GRACE CRICHTON LYNELL and Errol Jendra celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

The Lowood couple were married on May 19, 1973 and celebrated their golden anniversary in September with family and friends.

“You look back over the years, and how quick it went,” Errol said.

Lynell and Errol met where most couples met – the local dance, in their case, the Marburg dance.

“It was dances in those days, everybody met et at the dance,” Errol said.

“We enjoyed dancing.

“Everybody met their partners there.”

In their early married life they lived in Ipswich, until Errol and his ebrother wanted to return to their farmingg roots. ught up as “We were all brought farmers,” Lynell said.

“We both grew up on dairy farms.

“I always said, growing up, I was never going to marry a farmer because I was raised on a farm.

“But when I married Errol, he wasn’t a farmer.”

For Errol, it was the appeal of self-employment which drew him back to farming.

“Just being your own boss and nobody telling you what to do,” Errol said.

“I mean you’ve got to get out there and work hard.

Errol and Lynell Jendra of Lowood celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

“Farmer was the only life I had before, so I just went back to that.”

By the time they bought their farm at Mt Tarampa in 1979, they had three young boys in tow.

Craig, Troy, and Glenn welcomed younger sister Kylie in 1984.

“The kids, as they got older, joined in driving a tractor and things like that,” Lynell said.

“As they got older, they’d help with the baling of the hay [and] raking.”

They built the farm from the ground up, dabbling in vegetables but opting for less labour-intensive lucerne.

“Mainly lucerne of course, but we grew sweet corn and SHDV DQG VWX൵ OLNH WKDW IRU Edgell,” Errol said.

“Vegetables you have to hire a lot of people to do the picking, I didn’t get into all that, but you had to have a lot more gear as well.”

As the kids grew up, Lynell became involved in the school communities.

“Kindy, then preschool,

then Mt Tarampa School, Lowood High School,” Lynell said.

“I held positions of secretary and things like that on various committees coming through.”

“You were very active in that,” Errol said.

Lynell’s love for sewing brought her to extend her community involvement to the Folk Art Cooperative and the Lowood Show Society.

“In the early ‘90s I got involved in patchwork and I joined a patchwork group in

Ipswich and I’m still there as a member today,” she said.

“I also got involved in Folk Art, the community craft outlet in Lowood, 40-odd years ago.

“I’m nearly one of the originals, but not quite, I came in DERXW IRXU RU ¿YH \HDUV DIWHU they started.

“Then I got involved with the show because mum and dad were on the show committee... and I’m still with them today.

“Still do patchwork, still with Folk Art, still with the

show committee.”

Errol was a keen tennis player and the children also played tennis when they were growing up.

Later, he took up lawn bowls and still travels around the region to play.

“Later on, I started bowling on Friday nights,” Errol said.

“On the farms that’s all I could do because the weekend was always too busy.

“Friday nights were alright, unless I was baling hay.”

In 2018, Lynell and Errol retired and moved to their current home at Lowood.

“We’ve done a bit of travelling over the last few years,” Lynell said.

“We went overseas in 2011 when the kids were in London, otherwise we probably would never have went.”

Lynell is the fourth generation in her family to reach 50 years of marriage.

“My great-great-grandparents lived in Germany and one of these days we’ll try and track down and see how long they were married,” she said.

Despite the multigenerational success, the couple say there is no secret to a long marriage.

“There’s no one thing,” Errol said.

“I don’t know whether there has been a real secret to it, just long hard work and work together,” Lynell said.

“Choose the right person I suppose, someone that’s compatible with you, someone that’s interested in what you do.”

Whodunnit? Murder meets comedy WHAT HAPPENS when you take a murder mystery and infuse it with a generous dash of comedy?

Lockyer Regional Performing Arts’ next play is a masterful combination of these two genres.

‘Death by Design’ by Rob Urbinati is described as a mix of Noël Coward’s brilliant wit with the intricate plotting of Agatha Christie.

Fair Work issues ÀQHV LQVSHFWLRQV FRQWLQXH LQ DJ THE FAIR Work Ombudsman is urging agriculture sector employers to prioritise FRPSOLDQFH KDYLQJ ¿QHG employers $316,860 nationally and recovered $72,301 for underpaid workers.

The regulator has investigated 447 businesses in regional hot spots across Australia since its agriculture strategy began in December 2021, including the Lockyer Valley.

Inspectors paid a visit to the Lockyer Valley in July and August 2023.

Auditing 35 businesses, inspectors are still looking

To date, Infringement Notices for payslip and record keeping breaches total $14,890 for this hotspot.

Other recently inspected regions are the Sunshine Coast and the Riverina in New South Wales.

Site inspections targeted employers in 15 ‘hot spot’ regions where FWO intelligence suggests non-compliance may be rife.

A third-generation dairy farmer and secondgeneration cheese maker, Di opened the cheesery in 2017 with husband David Piggott and said she was looking for a gap in the dairy market.

Irrigators ‘in the dark’ MEMBER for Nanango Deb Frecklington claimed her Question on Notice regarding the maintenance of Cressbrook Creek was ignored and ‘handballed’ by Minister for Regional Development and Manufacturing and Minister for Water Glenn Butcher.

Mrs Frecklington had consulted with the Cressbrook Creek Irrigators’s Association over their concerns of silt and sand build up in the weir and its impact on the Cressbrook Creek Water Supply Scheme, and raised these matters in Question Time in August 22.

She said her Question on Notice had been ‘handballed’ by the Minister for Water to the Minister for Resources, resulting in even further delays addressing the matter.

“We have an important piece of water infrastructure which needs maintenance, yet the Department of Water

can’t answer questions about the Cressbrook Weir and obviously has no regard for the irrigators who rely on the scheme,” she said.

In his answer, Mr Butcher said Toowoomba Regional Council own Cressbrook Dam and operate its supply.

“Questions in relation to operation of the Dam and Scheme, including the circumstances in which releases are made from the Dam, should be directed to the council,” he said.

“The structural maintenance of the weir is the responsibility of the Department of Resources and questions about weir maintenance (as opposed to operation), should be directed to the Minister for Resources.”

Mrs Frecklington said irrigators were seeking acknowledgement from the government on the lack of

Australian agricultural land on track for price growth in 2023

THE LOCKYER AND SOMERSET INDEPENDENT

MOORE WEEKLY STARS October 23-29, 2023 ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19) Finances, joint ventures, secret deals and trust issues are on the table this week.

Saturday night’s Lunar Eclipse highlights KLFFXSV LQYROYLQJ VHOI HVWHHP DQG RU ÀQDQFLDO management. Strive to be less impulsive and extravagant, and more cautious with cash and credit. Don’t spoil a potentially productive week by being physically reckless or making inappropriate comments. Slow down, think before you speak and consult with loved ones along the way.

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20) This week the Lunar Eclipse (in your sign) emphasizes 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. Six planets SXVK \RX WR ÀQG FUHDWLYH ZD\V WR H[SUHVV \RXUself personally and within relationships. But don’t believe everything you hear! Keep your Bulldust Detector switched onto high.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) 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 work constructively with a colleague or communicate creatively with a friend. But don’t get carried away and promise more than you can deliver.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22) The silvery, ever-changeable Moon is your power planet, and many sensitive Crabs feel emotionally volatile and vulnerable around the time of the Full Moon. Saturday night’s Lunar Eclipse is in earthy Taurus, so you’ll probably feel more grounded (and less moody) than usual. But you still need to be extra careful and consistent in the way you communicate with other people (especially children, teenagers, work colleagues and close friends).

LEO (July 23 - Aug 22) It’s one of the most productive weeks of the year as Saturn (planet of discipline and patience) links up with the Sun (your power planet). Relationships with family members should improve, as long as you take a cautious and responsible approach. Catching up with delayed chores and long-overdue DIY projects in your Lion’s den is especially favoured. The more positive and proactive you are about Home Sweet Home, the better you’ll feel.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22) The Sun, Mercury and Mars encourage vigorous communication, Virgo, as you expand \RXU LQÁXHQFH HVSHFLDOO\ YLD VRFLDO PHGLD %HLQJ FRQÀGHQW LV SDUDPRXQW DV \RX JR DIWHU what you want with plenty of creative passion.

LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22) Stylish Librans appreciate quality and luxury, but don’t overdo it or you’ll end up being the most beautiful bankrupt on the block!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21) This week’s Lunar Eclipse highlights your health, daily routine and work zones. But expect some surprising developments and stressful moments along the way. Resist the urge to be argumentative, extravagant and super self-indulgent. On the weekend you need to slow down before you blow a fuse!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19) The best days of the week are Monday and Tuesday, when Saturn (your power planet) makes positive links to Mercury and the Sun. Focused thinking, goal setting and creative plans will take you far. Then Saturday night’s Lunar Eclipse shines a bright (and sometimes unforgiving) spotlight on partnerships of the romantic, platonic, creative, business and family variety. So it’s a good weekend to focus on friendships, shared hobbies and joint ventures.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) This week the Sun transits into your career zone (where it joins Mercury and Mars) and the Lunar Eclipse lights up your family zone (where it joins Jupiter and Uranus). So try to get the balance right between professional progress and domestic peace. And – if you have to choose – lean slightly towards harmony at home. Your motto for the moment comes from actress Julia Roberts (who turns 56 on Saturday): “My life at home gives me absolute joy.”

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Monday and Tuesday are positive days to plan a new course of study or book an adventurous holiday. However – on the weekend – hidden tensions could bubble to the surface with a relative, neighbour or work colleague. Be extra diplomatic and try not to take criticism personDOO\ 6RFLDO PHGLD LV DOVR D SRWHQWLDO PLQHÀHOG as the planets stir up your communication zone. So be careful you don’t send the wrong message to the wrong person at the wrong time!

Forrest Hill l8am Bichel taking 5-17 and A. Behrendorff hitting 30.

LOCKYER A GRADE Aside from Glenore Grove, four teams have each won a game, with Premiers Ropehill again looking strong.

Forest Hill, utilising their considHUDEOH ÀUHSRZHU NQRFNHG RYHU Mulgowie for 93, with Liam Bichel being the destroyer with 5-19. James Crosby offered good resistance with 31. In reply, evergreen Andy Behrendorf on 30, and young gun Brody Horne on 25 n.o quickly got the Goats to 4/95.

In a thriller at Cahill Park, Helidon showed their good score last week ZDV QR ÁXNH E\ JHWWLQJ WR against Gatton Fordsdale. Grant Hogan, in his return season, 48 and opener, Ray McBride, 25 did best.

Quality bowlers, Chris O’Brien 3-25 and Cody Wegner, 3-28 gave the Bulls a chance. Once again, Steve Kleidon on 53 and Chris O’Brien on 31 played solid hands, but were all out for 151. Dale Samuelson with 4-30 went well with the ball.

Ropehill, 10/248 were simply too strong for the Glenore Grove Roos. In

form Mitch Teske, 65, Nathan Tessier 43 and Dave Kilah 42 made big contributions. Jaxon Utz returned an outstanding 6/54. In reply, the Roos were out for 107 and will improve as WKH\ ÀQG WKHLU IHHW VALLEY VIKINGS One wicket short of an outright victory. Resuming at 3-102 against the Thunder at Tivoli, the Vikings rollicked along to 8/265 dec; Reggie Hoger with 48 and a barnstorming 49 by returning Levi Kugel setting the pace. The bowlers were asked to step up, and all but nailed the outright. Ben Webster, 3-18 and Reggie Hoger, 2 -23, had the Thunder 9 down for 95, with three overs remaining. Unfortunately, the batter farming the strike was QLD Bulls player Lachie Pfeffer, who couldn’t be dislodged. A good win, with a tinge of disappointment. The local derby against Laidley next week at Bichel oval for the “Battle of the Lockyer should” be a beauty.

Lockyer athlete scaling greater pinnacles

BY JESSE HAMILTON LOCKYER District High School student Geordie Cowdroy has soared to achieve the title of top high jumper in Queensland for his age after leaping a height of 2.00m at the Queensland Athletics State Championship on October 12.

Cowdroy competed in the 16 boys age group in the state championship, with an FP GL൵HUHQFH EHWZHHQ WKH Lockyer student and second place.

Having now jumped two meters or higher on seven occasions, Cowdroy said a recent change in technique has made him a more consistent jumper. ³7KLV ZDV P\ ¿UVW WLPH RYHU WZR PHWUHV R൵ WKH QHZ run up which was really good,” he said.

“I was getting a lot of feedback from external coaches about it because you’re supposed to come from wider, and I was very narrow.

“With my new run-up, I get more speed and can handle the curve a lot better.”

LOWOOD SOCCER STARS

BY JACOB HAYDEN

BRISBANE Valley Soccer Club held its 2023 Presentation Day on October 14 at Lowood State High School and Lowood Bowls Club, recognising high achievers, devoted members, and star players.

Club president Boris Jaramenko said the club had more than 300 registered members, making it the Somerset region’s largest sporting community.

Jaramenko said the club was growing strong thanks to the dedication of volunteers, including President’s Cup winner Trent Lewis.

“He was a junior coach, an over 40s player, he ran our tiny tots program, he helped with our pre-

VHDVRQ FRDFKLQJ DQG ¿WQHVV programs, he coached the team at the state carnival, was our state carnival representative, was in our line-marking crew, and came to every meeting,” Jaramenko said.

“The President’s Cup isn’t just about players, it’s about someone who’s gone above DQG EH\RQG DQG KH GH¿QLWHO\ did that.”

Tanya Nimmett was awarded Life Membership.

Nimmett has been with the club for 10 years as either a manager, fundraiser and, for the past six years, as its treasurer.

“She’s transformed the club from being a bit of a VKHPR]]OH ¿QDQFLDOO\« particularly with all the grant money we’ve received over the last year or so,”

Jaramenko said.
