Help for community groups Group shave for cancer research

A GATTON family have raised more than $15,000 for a cancer charity by shaving their heads.

Kelli Jones initiated the campaign and parted with her beloved dreadlocks.

“I’ve had them for seven years and my mum hates them,” Mrs Jones said.

BY GRACE CRICHTON ays

“She always wanted me to get rid of them.”

Her mother, Muriel, was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in April.

“I remember my brother was asking me one day when I was going to get rid of them and I did say if I ever get rid of them, I will shave them for cancer,” Mrs Jones said.

True to her word, she started fundraising for Love Your Sister, a charity which fundraises for cancer research.

Her campaign, ‘A Million Shared for Muriel’ quickly raised $8000.

It did not take long for the

family to jump on board and make their own commitments to shave once fundraising milestones were reached.

“On her birthday I came up with this little gimmick... If I get another two grand today I’ll shave it today for her birthday present,” Mrs Jones said.

Alongside Mrs Jones, her sister Amanda and her husband Darren, her sister Tina, her brother Jason and his wife Cindy, her young-

er brother Steven from Proserpine, and dad Doug all went under the clippers on November 13, Muriel’s 79th birthday.

They raised $4000 in one day.

Mrs Jones has gone through her own cancer journey.

At 52 years old, she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, caught thanks to a government issued screening test.

Since shaving her head,

she has found every second person she speaks to has their own cancer story to share.

“It’s mainly the research thing that I am big on so that someone else doesn’t have to go through it.

“Honestly, cancer used to be a death sentence and it’s not now because of research.”

As of Monday November 28, they have raised $15,703 “You don’t have to donate a lot, even if it’s a dollar or

$10 but mainly I’d like you to share it,” she said.

All of the funds will be donated to Love Your Sister.

To donate visit Kelli Jones’ Facebook page or mycause.com.au/page/298074/ kellis-shaving-her-dreadsfor-mum or visit Grey’s Furniture, 2 Crescent St Gatton to make a cash donation and leave your details for a receipt.

Councillor Cook optimistic on Lockyer FOGO program

BY JACOB HAYDEN

LOCKYER Valley Regional Council’s (LVRC) FOGO program (Food Organics Waste Organics) visited Cahill Park Markets on Sunday to update residents on the organic waste management trial and to plant trees.

Over the past 12 months, the trial successfully diverted 385.57 tonnes of food and organic waste via the green bin collection – equivalent to the weight of 77 elephants.

LVRC resolved to extend the trial at no cost to residents to address the growing problem of the Gatton land-

Deputy Mayor and Waste Portfolio Councillor Jason Cook was optimistic about FOGO’s future, and said the program was received positively by the community with interest from residents living outside the trial areas of Laidley and Gatton.

“We’ve had a lot of interest from people outside the trial areas who are asking for the green FOGO bin,” Cr Cook said.

The trial ended late August 2022 and was extended to the end of June 2023, but it has not yet been extended to other trial areas.

“It’s a numbers game, you

can’t pick one bin up here and go another 20km to pick up another bin… it’s got to have a density to be economically viable,” Cr Cook said.

“So, in the coming months we’ll make a decision going forward on whether we continue with it.”

ness around recycling and acceptable FOGO compost items, including: vegetables, houseplants, yard trimmings,

eggshells, paper napkins, and paper scraps.

“You’ve got to have a product at the end that’s viable to be used, it can’t be contaminated,” Cr Cook

said.

LVRC will apply for further funding from the State Government.

Councillor issues apology for inappropriate conduct

SOMERSET Regional Council Councillor Cheryl Gaedtke issued a public apology in council’s ordinary meeting on November 23.

“I wish to offer my sincere apologies for allowing my passion and my heart on one occasion

to overrule my head and inadvertently doing so resulted in my complete misjudgement when livestreaming on my council Facebook page a less than 30 second video of gym members completing a movement to music routine and then seeking

feedback of the gym manager at the invitation-only Toogoolawah Gym opening,” Cr Gaedtke said.

“This oversight was found to be an offense under section 150k (1) (b) of the Local Government Act 2009 and it is considered I engaged in inappropriate

conduct in contravening policy, procedure, or resolution of the local government.

“This matter has been not occur again.”

The alleged misconduct was raised in council’s ordinary meeting on

August 10 and reported in The Independent on August 17.

Council received correspondence from the

BY GRACE CRICHTON

MARBURG State School students launched their collaborative book ‘Animals of Marburg’ on Friday November 25.

Students from prep to year 6 worked on the encyclopaedic look at regional fauna.

From beagles to dairy

cows, snakes to guinea fowl, ‘Animals of Marburg’ covers a menagerie of domestic, wild, common, and rare

the area.

Principal Russell Napier said each child selected their own animal, researched their chosen animal, and then wrote about them.

“Following children’s interests is the best way to get them engaged,” Mr Napier said.

Marburg State School intervention teacher Sheryl Fainges said working on producing a book together gave the children a sense of success and taught them learning is a lifelong experience, not

one that is limited to school.

“What I wanted them to experience was learning is a lifelong situation and what they learn here helps them for when they become an adult in the real world,” she said.

Each student was presented their own copy of the book by Ipswich City Council councillor Kate Kunzelmann.

Tech more than iPads

MURPHYS Creek and Mt Sylvia students got together for technology-centric, fun but educational day on Friday November 25.

Students undertook four STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) related activities at Mt Sylvia State School.

Mt Sylvia State School principal Charmaine Wilson said technology is broader than we might initially think.

“When a lot of people hear the word ‘technology’, they just think iPads, phones, things like that, but it’s actu-

ally engineering,” Mrs Wilson said.

Student were tasked with constructing the tallest tower out of only straws and pipe cleaners, wiring play-dough to play the piano, and following step-by-step instructions to complete a drawing.

The lessons learned were around following processes, problem solving, teamwork, making, and evaluating their success.

Chappies Matt and Don cooked a sausage sizzle for their lunch.

FOR THE second year in a row, Woodfordia’s Festival of Small Halls rolled into Ma Ma Creek on November 18 to show off this year’s Summer Tour musicians.

Local muso Tahnee Georgia kicked off as the support act followed by Sam Buckingham from Northern Rivers, who entertained the crowd with her perfect balance of pop and poetry.

Inn Echo, a 3-piece band

guitar, from Canada had Ma Ma Creek toe-tapping to their combination of traditional folk tunes and contemporary originals.

Ticket sales were slightly slow in the lead-up, but more than 60 people turned up at the door.

Ma Ma Creek Community Centre hopes to establish this as an annual event to boost the live music scene in the Lockyer Valley.

What’s in a gallery name

BY GRACE CRICHTON

IN LOCKYER Valley Regional Council’s ordinary meeting on September 21, councillors voted to change the name of the Davson Galley to the Davson Room.

The space, located in the Lockyer Valley Cultural Centre and accessible through the art gallery, was named for artist Sharon Davson and her late mother, Win Davson, who founded the Mercury Children’s Theatre in Gatton from 1951.

At a closing function on November 20, Ms Davson said her clients would be unwilling to loan artwork for exhibition in a ‘room’, but a ‘gallery’ could be promoted.

“It is uncertain how many of them will loan something into a Davson Room at the back of the Lockyer Valley Art Gallery,” she said.

“It is not the same.

“The downgrade to the gallery has major impacts on my career.”

Lockyer Valley Regional Council Portfolio Councillor

for Libraries Michael Hagan said the original intention was for the name of the room to recognise the contribution to the arts of the Davson family and for it to be a non-exclusive, shared use space.

“The location of the room within the Lockyer Valley Regional Art Gallery precinct and Lockyer Valley Cultural Centre allows it to be a shared space for both hung paintings and community events and gatherings that are appropriate to the space,”

he said.

The space is free for the community to hire for workshops or meetings.

Prior to the renaming, Ms Davson said she planned to ‘elevate’ the Davson Gallery, nationally and internationally, and make it a ‘destination’.

“I learned that was never going to be successful because the current library and art gallery process don’t have a vision for their gallery, so therefore this gallery couldn’t have one,” she said.

Cr Hagan said the role of the Art Gallery is included in the Arts and Cultural Plan, which has recently undergone community consultation prior to presentation to council early next year for potential adoption.

Earlier this year, The Independent reported Ms Davson planned to renovate the Mercury Theatre on North St and build a museum.

Ms Davson said she would not proceed with these plans because of the name change.

Local author releases new book on trains

LAIDLEY writer Jim Nicholls has released his latest work, a collection of stories entitled Speaking of Trains

Jim said the book also includes snippets of history and little-known facts about the places he visited.

“In addition to that, I’d like to think I’ve managed to weave a subtle theme of humour and self-deprecation through it all,” he said.

“Readers will be entertained with observations of everyday life in far off places.”

Stories include battling a typhoon in Vietnam, taking the Pride of Africa from the South Atlantic coast to Pretoria, riding a train up to Lhasa in Tibet, and a cold and frosty journey to Hudson Bay in Canada.

Jim said there are none of your average,

glowing, touristy descriptions here, this book tells it like it is and should entertain anyone interested in travelling to distant places.

Copies of the book are available from the author (phone 0402 674 090), or visit: booktopia. com.au/speaking-oftrains-jim-nicholls/ book/9781922912121. html or: amazon.com.au/ dp/B0BLMDKKZ2

THE UNIVERSITY of Queensland has announced it will match donations made to help support students exfrom rural, remote, or low socio-economic backgrounds.

The Queensland Committo any donor or organisation who gives more than $50,000 for endowed scholarships at UQ, to encourage gifts that will help to break down the barriers to education over the next decade.

For agribusiness student Lachlan Boal, accessing a scholarship meant he could live on campus at Gatton and focus on his studies.

“It gave a lot of security and I knew exactly what I

was doing then and could focus on getting ready for study,” he said.

Commuting several hours daily from the family farm near Killarney was not ideal, but Lachlan was able to get

commodation costs based on academic merit and his rural background.

“You had to display some obviously the drought was the year before, that was pretty tough,” Lachlan said.

UQ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Deborah Terry said education was a critical pathway to disrupting disadvantage.

“Together with our community, we can raise the funds needed to provide a scholarship to Queensland

students who earn their place at UQ but may not be able to

relocation, tuition or living costs,” she said.

“We want to help break down the barriers to higher education for Queenslanders today and for generations to come.”

Higher education has exposed Lachlan to the breadth of opportunities available within the ag industry.

“I didn’t realise how many pathways you could go down, it’s unreal,” he said.

“Where the potential is for ag at the moment, and the challenges the industry faces in the next few decades, is pretty exciting.”

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, 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

portant 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 global pandemic 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

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 and 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

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 in the business of growing small towns.

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

The environmentally friendly 300-acre estate, located north of Redbank Creek Road, provides a country alternative lifestyle for homebuyers with easy access to local schools, churches, and sporting facilities 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 good fresh produce.

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

Park Lade Adare is the second 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 there’s better value shopping locally,

I think,” Mr Brown 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.”

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 green plus roads, so it’s a very high ratio of public open space to land,” Mr Brown said.

“So it’s like for every lot you buy, you’re getting a free lot.”

The public space will remain an environmentally friendly home for native

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

“We’ve got to plant quite big areas with new tubestock to get re-growth going,” Mr Brown said.

“Our development approval is very much environmentally focussed.”

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.

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 little towns have grown amazingly.”

Park Lake boasts all the conveniences of everyday life with three major supermarschools, an aquatic centre, business centres and medical centres less than ten minutes from the estate.

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

The roads of the estate will be named after local soldiers who were among the nation’s 1915.

“We’re planning to do a kids at the lake and throw support behind sporting teams at schools,” he said.

The land will be subdivid-

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

“We’ve just commenced pre-selling and we’ve sold 24 lots, and construction has commenced,” Mr Brown said.

The estate includes a 20,000 sqm lake, community pavilions and barbecues for families, 42 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.

Call Peter for more information on 0730637504 or 0400224111.

Inland Rail opportunities arrive for Gatton and Ipswich businesses

ADVERTORIAL

GATTON and Ipswich businesses had 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) held a free business capability workshop on November 22 at the North Ipswich Reserve Corporate

Centre.

Participating businesses were 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 gave 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 were also 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

nities 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.

BEING a local is not just about where you live, it’s about seeing what is around you and supporting your town.

Property Network Lockyer agent John Rogers has seen the demographics of Laidley and surrounds change since

“There are more people moving out here,” John said.

“More and more of our tenants are working couples… spin on people.”

With new locals coming to town and calling the Lockyer Valley home, now’s the time to make the most of the lifestyle and opportunities here.

John encourages them to take a drive and see what’s in their own backyards.

Building strong rapport

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 custom-

MOORE WEEKLY STARS

Nov 28-Dec 4, 2022

ARIES

The Sun, Mercury and Venus are visiting your adventure and exploration zones. However, Mars – your power planet – is in retrograde mode. Which means you may be feeling tired, worn-out, impatient and/or irritable. So travel and holiday plans are best put on hold until after January 12. Then you can “Sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” (Quote from this week’s birthday great, writer Mark Twain.)

TAURUS

Are you worrying about money? This week (with impulsive Mars reversing through your $$$ zone) avoid being uncharacteristically rash with cash and credit. Mercury urges you

spending for saving, and nurture your nest egg for the future. With Uranus still transiting through Taurus, your mantra for the week is from entertainer Bette Midler (who turns 77 on December 1): “Cherish forever what makes you unique.”

GEMINI

Gung-ho Geminis are fantastic at starting

week’s stars encourage a light-bulb moment when you have the enthusiasm to get an ambitious idea off the ground. And steady Saturn boosts your patience and persistence. Which you’ll certainly need, as Mars continues retrograding through your sign. Don’t believe everything you hear on Friday when Neptune scrambles communication and confuses conversation.

CANCER

With the Sun, Mercury and Venus visiting your wellbeing zone, learn to love the things that are good for you. Like nutritious meals, regular exercise, relaxing in nature and lots of rest. (Crabs love curling up in bed and need plenty of good quality sleep.) The simple

preparing a home-cooked meal, having an early night, enjoying a funny conversation with

LEO

This week a long-cherished dream may need to be re-imagined and reworked so that it better suits your current situation. Rather than seeing it as a disappointing setback, clever Cats will perceive it as an exciting new challenge. You’re keen to communicate about a wide range of topics, as you share ideas with family and friends. But, with Neptune squaring Mercury and Venus, avoid spilling secrets or saying something that’s inappropriately ambiguous.

VIRGO

Is your perfectionist streak running rampant? The more you over-think situations and try to make everything ‘perfect’, the more you will worry and obsess. Don’t waste time comparing yourself (and your talents) to other people. You need to run your own race … slowly at the moment, as Mars reverses through your career and life-direction zones. Saturn cautions you to be prudent, patient and persistent.

LIBRA

smoothly but (courtesy of retrograde Mars) there’s unpredictable planetary energy about this week. So drop the perfectly planned schedule and just take things as they come. Some possible scenarios? A relationship with a relative, colleague or neighbour could veer off in a confusing direction. Or something you post on social media could receive a disappointing response. Which will certainly keep

SCORPIO

Scorpios can have trouble trusting other people at the best of times. And now – until January 12 – Mars is reversing through your trust and intimacy zones. So a loved one could let you down or an old resentment could resurface. Also, if you don’t feel comfortable asking someone for help then don’t. Your motto for the week is from birthday great, writer Louisa May Alcott: “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship,”

SAGITTARIUS

The Sun, Mercury and Venus are all visiting your sign. Which highlights your positive traits (being optimistic, generous and curious) and your negative traits (being impatient, bossy and belligerent). But your best quality is your lively sense of humour, so make sure you’re

day Sagittarian, writer Mark Twain (who was born on November 30, 1835): “The human race has one really effective weapon and that is laughter.”

CAPRICORN

It’s a good week for Capricorns, as Saturn (your patron planet) makes positive aspects with Mars, Mercury and Venus. Which favours planning, goal setting, problem-solving, matters. But remember that Mars is reversing through your work and wellbeing zones until January 12. So – when it comes to your job and your health – slow down and be less bossy and more patient. Hasty is out and

AQUARIUS

Retro Mars opposes Mercury and Venus (in your hopes, goals and wishes zones). So it’s time to focus on your aspirations for the future. But you must be patient and persistent about putting plans into action. Good things

birthday great Louisa May Alcott 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.”

CRICKET

LOCKYER CRICKET

Mitchell Shield – Lockyer Trounces Warwick

In a dominant display at Slade Park Warwick, the Lockyer Lightning were too good for Warwick. The Lockyer Opening bowlers of Lachie Evans and Codey Wegner, completely tied down the top order and cashed in with wickets. There was no let up from Sticklen, Reisenleiter and O’Brien, who bagged 4-18 to bundle Warwick out for 94 in the 35th over. It looked a simple assignment, but

Brandon Sabburg with 47 n.o. steered Lockyer home inside 29 overs. Although

This Lockyer team is re-establishing its standing as a serious force in Darling Downs cricket.

“We’re not a club of rugby players, we are a club of rugby fans.”

BY JACOB HAYDEN

THE GATTON Black Pigs

Rugby Union Football Club is excited to work with the community in 2023.

The club celebrated its centenary early 2022, making it one of the oldest sporting clubs in the Lockyer Valley.

President for 2023 Jake Johnstone said the club wanted to increase its community involvement.

“I started here in 2020 and that was the COVID year, it was pretty sad to see the club not doing to great… 2021 was when things started to get back together,” he said.

“You look across the Downs and the club involvement with the community

instead of being a uni team we want to be a rugby club.

“Sport is supposed to be the heart and soul of the community, and that’s what we want to strive to be.”

Committee member Hamish Pulsford said 2022

able to support two senior men’s teams since 2017.

“[A and C Grade] now gives everybody a go and gets some more involvement and people are more interested because they’re actually getting a run,” Pulsford said.

Treasurer Harrison Stewart said C Grade’s addition brought internal competitiveness to the club.

“There were points where we wanted to rip each other apart but there were also

points where we would all come together,” he said.

“We had a lot of C Grade boys come up and play some A Grade because they

showed they were capable.”

Black Sows president 2023 Alana Connolly said the girls’

bership increase in 2022 from

both university students and girls in the wider community.

“We meet the player at their skill level, just because you can’t pass the ball properly doesn’t mean you’re not going to join the team.”

Johnstone echoed her sentiment.

“We’re not a club of rugby players, we are a club of rugby fans,” he said.

As a community member with no university allegiances welcome to the club.

“Anyone from any walk of life, regardless of gender, ethnicity, whatever… an environment that is stereotypically only welcome to certain people is actually welcome to all,” Stewart said.

“At the end of the day,

the true value from our club comes from the value and the volume of people we have with the club.”

The committee are excited to host the 2023 Old Boys, Ladies and Corporate Sponsors Days.

“This year we celebrated the 100th year of the club, revisited our clubs long history and put on a centennial Old Boys game,” Stewart said.

“The 2023 committee is excited for the challenge of governing the start of the Black Pigs second century.”

the committee announced the Black Pigs’ sponsorship for the Valley Rugby Union Club’s 2023 season to support junior rugby players in the Lockyer Valley.

Wrist and hand sprains: how they happen, treatment, recovery

WRIST sprains can occur when the hands carry the body weight as in gymnastics or pull ups, or from a fall or collision.

and thumb can occur when they are pulled or knocked back.

The severity of the sprain depends on how far the ligament is stretched and

The ligaments are like twine, so you can tear a few

are torn, the strength of the ligament is compromised.

The symptoms of pain and swelling are related to the amount of damage.

A feeling of weakness is common as pain stops the muscles from contracting effectively.

If the joint moves more than it should, the ligaments may be severely damaged, or there may be a dislocation.

Early treatment for any sprain is RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

If the injury is not too severe, maintain mobility of the joint within the painfree range only.

It is always important to

assess the nearby joints.

After a fall, the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck should be examined for possible damage.

Full recovery won’t happen if there is injury in any of these joints.

In severe sprains, where there is too much movement, it is important to be quickly seen by a doctor as early surgery may be need-

ed for repair and support of the joint.

Ligament sprains should be treated early and thoroughly to prevent long term damage to the many small joints, muscle and nerves that are in the hand and wrist.

Restoring range, strength, and function is an important part of recovery before returning to sport.

TO

a special moment in the history of Lockyer Valley Cricket, the inaugural Valley Vikings playing group was presented with their ceremonial caps by the Lockyer Valley Regional Council Deputy Mayor Jason Cook on November 24.

The caps represent a long tradition in cricket and

are a symbol not only of high personal achievement, but also team membership and solidarity.

They were designed by team members in Club Colours, with a pronounced V emblem of the Vikings.

Captain Chris O’Brien introduced all of his team members individually to the

Deputy Mayor, with a brief resume of their achievements and characteristics.

Cr Cook was forthright in his praise for Lockyer Cricket in taking a bold initiative to open opportunities for cricketers to play at a higher level in the Ipswich Competition.

He was complimentary

of the fact that the squad included a mix of youth and experience to ensure continuity as the senior players moved on.

He congratulated the players as being the pathcricket, and laying the foundation for those to follow.
