A WORD FROM GRACE Senior students across the region are in the midst of their final external exams and I want to wish them the best of luck as they finish their high school careers.

Seeing the jacarandas in bloom in Gatton reminded me of my own graduation from Lockyer District High School and the excitement leading up to the formal.

In fact, I met up with a friend on the weekend who said seeing jacarandas still induces an anxiety associated with the pressure of final exams – my own recollections are far more pleasant.

It’s been a pleasure to meet with the promising students who have achieved so

Inland Rail fix The Inland Rail poses a real challenge to the Valley.

For a start, the rail line is of no use here.

It best suits moving bulk products from point to point, like coal from mine to seaport. Horticulture, with multiple farm sources and multiple deliveries, needs flexible truck services. Secondly, the ambition is that up to forty trains, day and night, will roar through the Gatton and Forest Hill townships, disrupting domestic life and depressing property values. Thirdly, flooding caused by embankments may well continue near Laidley.

The Inland Rail extends from just north of Melbourne to Acacia Ridge, just south of Brisbane. The plan was that the final connection to the Port of Brisbane will be via existing rail connections but this ambition

much academically, in sports and culture at Laidley, Toogoolawah and Lockyer high schools recently and I look forward to meeting the top achievers of Faith in a few weeks.

They are smart, switched on, societally aware, they have big ideas and bigger dreams.

I’ve no doubt this generation of young adults will achieve great things.

Best of luck for your final exams and perhaps I will see you at your formal.

is in conflict with expanding passenger rail services.

This situation has now been unresolved for at least eight years.

The realistic resolution of the whole problem is to abandon the northern end of Inland Rail, from Toowoomba to Acacia Ridge.

Instead, extend it from Toowoomba to the Port of Gladstone.

This is not a fantasy. The option has been widely discussed in recent months and not dismissed.

Gladstone has greater present and future capacity than has Brisbane and already has spare bulk handling capacity. It seems unwise to build extra coal handling ability in Brisbane when coal production is very likely to decline in response to climate change.

Gladstone is further from Melbourne so its journey takes 27 hours compared to

24 hours for Brisbane. The 24 hour time sounds significant, but it is really just a result of the distance to be travelled.

One commentator noted that the Gladstone option would save $3.8 billion for the project. This is not a surprise because the Toowoomba to Brisbane line requires drilling of at least three tunnels, one near Toowoomba and two near Brisbane. The Gladstone termination has no tunnels and would be ready sooner.

There will still be a need for freight to move between Toowoomba and Brisbane.

Apparently, using trucks by road this will take about 90 minutes, but along Inland Rail it may take three hours.

And now I read that Toowoomba Regional Council fears that the first tunnel will drain one of their water supply aquifers.

Hail damage lingers one year on A year after a destructive hailstorm damaged homes in Ipswich, 265 homes are still awaiting repairs.

Ipswich City Council reported there are 21 properties remaining with severe damage, 103 with moderate and 141 with minor damage.

Thousands of homes across the suburbs of Springfield, Springfield Lakes, Rosewood, Thagoona and Willowbank suffered extensive roof damage on October 31, 2020 resulting in collapsed internal ceilings and major water damage to internal structures as well as home contents.

Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said while the hailstorm lasted just minutes the community is still piecing their homes and lives back together one year on.

“The hailstorm left more than $1.5 billion in damage and 44,000 insurance claims lodged,” Mayor Harding said.

Many Ipswich homes damaged in last year’s Halloween hail storm are still waiting for repairs.

“In the hours after the storm hit, hundreds of families had no choice but to leave their homes and those families have had to wait months to go home and the most shocking part is, there are still 265 homes awaiting repairs.

“Only 67.56 per cent of res-

idential property claims have been closed and impacted families continue to rely on ongoing support from their community while insurance companies and tradespeople work to repair the damage.

“Council will continue to highlight their needs on the

long road to recovery.”

Mayor Harding said council was now working with relevant agencies on what lessons can be learned from this disaster.

“The communities affected by the hailstorm should be congratulated on their pa-

tience and amazing resilience as they endured long waits, due to COVID-19 and unprecedented challenges,” Mayor Harding said.

“It has been a most trying year but when we look back there, there are so many worthwhile lessons to be

learned such as the outstanding community-led recovery.

“The collaboration between residents, the business community, council and other agencies was ground-breaking in many ways and we will continue to develop protocols based on this disaster.”

SRC releases continuity guide for business community In response to an exceptional amount of capital works projects occurring across the region, Somerset Regional Council has developed a business continuity guide to assist the local business community.

Traffic and Safety Advisory Committee representative Cr

Sean Choat said the guide was an economic support initiative designed to provide businesses impacted by construction works with ideas and information to maintain business levels during the various project stages.

“Council understands that the construction projects can

interrupt the way a business operates in a number of ways, whether affecting car parking and customer access, deliveries, or noise or dust issues,” he said.

“In creating this booklet, we have taken a proactive approach to providing practical guidance for the

Somerset business community, which we believe will help businesses be better prepared and more involved in upcoming construction projects.

“Council also appreciates the main street of many towns in the Somerset region is also a state-controlled

road or highway, which means Council has limited control or influence over the road upgrade projects.

“Regardless, upgrading and improving infrastructure and community facilities is vital for the future success and growth of our region, one of the fastest growing in

the state.”

Business Continuity - A guide to doing business during construction and road upgrades will be available for download from Council’s website and hard copy booklets can be obtained through Council’s Business Recovery Officer.

Cavalry charge re-created Australia’s last great cavalry charge came back to life in Laidley on Sunday.

The 2nd Light Horse Lockyer Troop were joined by the Queensland Mounted Infantry Historical Troop and the 15th Battalion to re-enact the charge of the 4th Light Horse Brigade at Beersheba.

On October 31, 1917, the battle of Beersheba took place as part of the wider British offensive collectively known as the third Battle of Gaza.

The 4th Light Horse Brigade stormed through the Turkish defences and

seized the strategic town of Beersheba.

One hundred and four years later, this charge was recreated by Lockyer Valley locals by the Pioneer Village.

Lockyer Troop training officer Beth Clark said this was the first time the group had staged the re-enactment but hope to continue the tradition every year on Beersheba Day. “We are trying to make a commemoration every year of Beersheba Day,” she said.

“Today is a start of something we hope to do every year.”

Lockyer’s top achievers

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Lockyer District High School recognised its top students in academics, sports, the arts, leadership, and service at the annual awards ceremony last Friday.

The assembly, run by school captains Helena Thomson and Adam McFarlane and vice captains Alyssa Roser and Royce Goutam, awarded students from grades 7 to 12 who have excelled in their fields.

Year 12 student Catherine Scanlan was named Provisional Dux for her marks to date, as well as being awarded the Ampol Year 12 All-Rounder, Supreme Cultural Award, ADF Future Innovators award, cross country age champion, plus a slew of subject awards.

Going green: Andersens plant over 100,000 trees An ambitious business-led project to combat carbon emissions has double its target a year after launching.

Andersens launched Project Green a year ago with the intention of planting 50,000 trees within one year and last Friday planted the 100,000th tree at their headquarters in Gatton.

Andersens CEO Rowan Hodge said he was thrilled the franchisees have demonstrated this sort of community leadership by participating in the project “Climate is more than weather, and even though we welcome wonderful rain like we’re having at the moment, the long-term effects of man-made climate

change can’t be ignored at any level of our community,” he said.

“Andersens is committed to become a carbon-neutral operator.

“It is part of that commitment that we see tree-planting as one piece of the puzzle, together with recycling, supply-chain management, packing

reduction, and the use of alternative energies.”

Member for Lockyer Jim McDonald was invited to the Western Drive headquarters to plant the lilly pilly. ”Andersens is leading the way in their approach to environmental stewardship,” Mr McDonald said.

“Congratulations.”

Health Notes

World Diabetes Day - 14th November ACCESS TO DIABETES CARE The theme for World Diabetes Day 2021-23 is access to diabetes care. 100 years after the discovery of insulin, millions of people with diabetes around the world cannot access the care they need. People with diabetes require ongoing care and support to manage their condition and avoid complications. We are living in extraordinarily difficult times, in which people with diabetes are facing an additional major health threat. Regretfully, we have seen that people living with diabetes can be more susceptible to the worst complications of COVID-19.

The centenary of the discovery of insulin presents a unique opportunity to bring about meaningful change for the more than 460 million people living with diabetes and the millions more at risk.

Too many Australians are being diagnosed with diabetes too late. Essentially, diabetes is about the body’s ability (or lack of it) to produce the required amount of a hormone called insulin to control glucose levels in the blood.There are broadly two types of diabetes: Type 1 requires daily administration of artificial insulin by means of injection or insulin pump. Type 2 is more generally managed by a combination of dietary control and medication in the form of tablets. The delay in diagnosis is putting many people at risk of major lifethreatening health problems like kidney failure and heart attacks, hence the push to draw attention to an illness with increasing numbers worldwide.

Early diagnosis, treatment, ongoing support and management can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. Diabetes: •is the leading cause of blindness in adults •is a leading cause of kidney failure •is the leading cause of preventable limb amputations •increases the risk of heart attacks and stroke by up to four times It’s About Time we detected all types of diabetes earlier and save lives.

Visit your local pharmacy to learn more about diabetes and how it can be managed. Pharmacies can offer: • Supply of blood glucose test strips as part of the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) • Diabetes management services including monitoring of blood glucose levels, weight and diabetes medicines.

• Diabetes screening tests with referrals to your doctor.

• Advice and review of diabetes medicines also known as a Diabetes MedsCheck. This involves a one on one with your pharmacist • Blood glucose monitoring devices.

• Blood pressure monitoring • leep apnoea testing.

One in 2 people with type 2 diabetes have sleep apnoea.

Fraser awarded Grey Wolf

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Glenore Grove Scouts recognised one of their young leaders last week.

Fraser Allison was awarded the Grey Wolf, the highest level award that can be achieved in Cubs.

Cub Leader Tanya Mail said there are numerous milestones to reach in order to achieve the award, including a leadership course, reflection, six special interest areas and completing their milestone three.

“Then they have to do what they call an adventure journey, where they plan and lead a hike of around four hours,” Ms Mail said.

“There’s a fair bit of work to earn the Grey Wolf.”

Fraser was presented with his certificate and Grey Wolf woggle by Ms Mail and Queensland Branch Commissioner of Cub Scouts Michael VanderPutten.

and is always helpful.

Fraser joined Scouts as Joey six years ago following in his older brother’s footsteps.

The ten-year-old’s favourite part of Scouts is the camping and outdoor

activities.

In working toward the Grey Wolf, planning the hike from Gatton to Forest Hill was the most challenging but also the most rewarding.

“Planning the hike [was the hardest part],” Fraser said.

Green school grants How your school could win a $7000 makeover to green up grounds Urban Utilities is calling on Lockyer and Somerset schools to apply for a $7000 grant to green up their grounds and promote water conservation as the drought continues across the South East.

The grant will help students identify and solve water conservation issues and transform their school grounds through a waterwise outdoor project.

Urban Utilities education officer Victoria Zdraveski said applications were open to schools in the Lockyer Valley, Somerset, Brisbane, Ipswich, and Scenic Rim areas.

“We’re passionate about working with the next generation to help save water and enhance our precious environment,” she said.

“That’s why we’re partnering with the waterwise

gardening experts at Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee (B4C) to support one school with a grant to green up their grounds.”

Ms Zdraveski said as part of the application schools needed to come up with an

idea for a new waterwise green space and explain how they’ll incorporate water conservation into the project.

“The successful school will receive $7000 to complete a project to transform their grounds from thirsty to thriv-

ing, all while being waterwise,” she said.

“The project could provide shade trees, corridor planting around ovals, vegetable gardens, pollinator pathways – the possibilities are endless.

Applications close on Friday.

WEEKLY DANCE CLASSES FOR SOMERSET

Somerset Regional Council are seeking community feedback on holding regular weekly dance classes starting next year.

Council hosted a series of dance workshops for school-aged children at the Somerset Civic Centre during the September school holidays.

The workshops were well attended and received positive feedback, with most attendees expressing interest for the classes to continue on a regular basis.

Council is now considering trialling an after-school dance program at the Somerset Civic Centre in 2022.

If there is sufficient community support for the initiative to go ahead, the after-school dance program would consist of a one-hour dance class per week for nine weeks during Term 1 of 2022.

The program would be facilitated by a professional dance instructor and students would have the opportunity to explore a variety of dance genres over the period including ballet, slow modern, modern and musical theatre styles.

Council is seeking feedback from school-aged children and their carers regarding the proposed program.

Have your say by completing the survey on Council’s website www.somerset.qld.gov.au/homepage/71/ have-your-say by 5pm on Friday, November 12.

Rich history of hospitals in Esk

The first efforts at gaining a hospital at Esk were made in 1899. The Esk Nursing Home was finally opened on 24th July 1907 to be later moved to its present site on Highland Street. The Stanley Memorial Hospital in Esk was erected to honour those from the district who enlisted in the First World War. The Esk branch of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers League of Australia (RSSAILA) and all sections of the community joined to work hard for five years, in difficult economic times, to establish a modern hospital.

In March 1925, the Works Department forwarded a plan of the new building to Mr A J Heap, President of the Stanley Memorial Hospital. The already existing building, the Esk Nursing Home, formed the nucleus of the new hospital. The old building had been severely over-crowded, and the new up-to-date building was completed with a sense of urgency.

The new Stanley Memorial Hospital, equipped with general, private and maternity wards, was opened by the Minister for Works, Mr M J Kirwin, on 21st August 1926. Captain McIntyre (RSSAILA), who unveiled the memorial tablet, reminded those present that a returned soldier, unable to stand up for himself, is just as much entitled to a memorial as a

man who fell on the ‘other side.’ Later, an inscribed mug and bell was presented to baby Lee who was the first baby born in the maternity hospital.

In the following years the hospital was well administered by Mr Heap, the president and Mr T C Pryde, the secretary of Stanley Memorial Hospital with X-ray

equipment being installed in the hospital. It provided a valuable service to a growing population and in 1927-28; 170 patients were treated. By March 1929, that number was already exceeded.

the original pioneers in the Brisbane Valley, arriving here around 1849. Mary cared for her community, especially the children. She began the first public school, in her parlour before state schools were instituted.

Tragedy, in the death of two infant sons, led Mary to contemplate child health and welfare issues. She cam-

paigned for a children’s hospital and started fundraising.

On a trip to the United Kingdom she visited children’s hospitals to observe their methods of operation, and with the help of her brother, a doctor, enlisted staff.

When she returned to Brisbane she was able to oversee

the opening of a children’s hospital in a modified house in Spring Hill in March 1878.

This facility was later transferred to Bowen Hills and became the Royal Children’s Hospital. It is now located in South Brisbane and serves all the children of Queensland.

Happy 100th Birthday Cecil Cecil Herbert Sempf still feels like a 21-year-old.

The Gatton local turns 100 years old today and he says his memory is still “clear as crystal.”

“I can remember back to when I was two years old,” he said.

Growing up, he never liked his given name.

“I wanted to be called Bill, that sounds like a real man’s name,” he said.

“I didn’t like the name Cecil but I realise I’m stuck with it.”

Cecil was born in Marburg on November 3, 1921 at 10am to parents Esther and Ernest.

He went to school in Forest Hill, a two and half mile walk from the family farm.

When he was ten years old they sold the farm and moved to a 180 acre farm at Lockrose where they grew crops and had a small dairy on the side.

Cecil left school at 14 to help on the farm and during his youth found he had a natural talent for building machinery.

“Anything mechanical fascinated me,” he said.

“Anything structural just came naturally to me.”

The talent turned into a burgeoning business and his machines were in hot demand by farmers across the region.

Cecil built grass slashers, small tractors, planters,

sprayers, anything he put his mind to.

He never used blue prints, “could never read them,” but instead he could just see them in his head.

However, the path to his business was not smooth sailing.

As a young boy, he would often ride his bikes with

the local boys and a small mishap had long term consequences.

Trying out a new trick on the bike, Cecil slipped and landed on his tailbone.

Six weeks of pain followed and it wasn’t until years later that Cecil realised he must have caused a fracture in his lumbar bone, which troubled

him and progressed further.

An Ipswich doctor diagnosed Cecil with osteomyelitis, inflammation of the bone marrow.

He lived with the condition for seven years, finally undergoing surgery.

For five days he had four-hourly penicillin shots and to this day he thanks Al-

exander Fleming, the inventor of penicillin.

“Or I’d be dead at forty, but I’m still here.”

The condition delayed his search to find a wife, and

he was 28-years-old when he married Sidney “Esme” Adele Campbell-Wilson.

They were married on October 29, 1949 at St Augustine’s Church of England in Hamilton, Brisbane.

They were married for six years before starting their family, two sons Lyall and Shane.

Esme and Cecil lived for a time on their farm in South Burnett, which Cecil purchased, and also lived in Sandgate, Esme’s hometown.

Settling back in the Lockyer Valley, Cecil set up his workshop in Cochrane St and trademarked Semp Tractors (dropping the F).

After a successful 28 years at the workshop, Cecil retired at 65 years old.

In their retirement, Cecil and Esme travelled.

“We’ve been right around Australia,” Cecil said.

He wrote in earnest after finishing work, researching the history of the Sempf family and writing his own account of his long and fruitful life.

His advice for young people to match his own long life is simple.

“Don’t eat junk food,” he said.

“It’s as true as I’m sitting here.”

Somerset and Lockyer councils have increased funding for the Lockyer Somerset Water Company

for farmers, enabling a more sustainable approach to food production.

“The Collaborative began work on the Water for Lockyer Project in 2017

to provide additional water supply to the Lockyer and Somerset regions,” Cr Lehmann said.

“The next phase of the project needs a substantial

amount of work, including negotiating a bulk water supply agreement between SEQWater and the Lockyer Somerset Water Company Ltd.”

“The project is tracking well, and we are confident of a positive outcome.

“Contributing further funds to the Water for Lockyer Project will allow the project

to continue to move forward and provide an additional sustainable water supply to the Lockyer and Somerset regions.”

In LVRC’s report states the next phase of the project requires a substantial amount of work including negotiating a term sheet in relation to a bulk water supply agreement between SEQWater and the Lockyer Somerset Water Company Ltd. Collaborative members have discussed making further financial contributions to enable this work to continue.

Funding for drought resilience in Lockyer The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) has awarded $1.4 million to 33 rural communities across Australia, including the Lockyer Valley, to help locally led initiative that will help build drought resilience.

The grants were awarded to local groups to support community projects that will bring people together, training that will increase knowledge and skills, and infrastructure that will facilitate and enable networking.

Lockyer Valley Growers Inc was successful in receiving a grant for the Lockyer Agricultural Resilience and Connection (LARC) Project.

The project plans to bring local growing groups together

One Giant Leap of The Van Kind CONTRIBUTED

Hyundai Australia is pleased to announce the all-new Staria-Load range, on sale now With an all-new platform, space-age design and cutting-edge standard features, the all-new Staria-Load builds on the strong legacy of the long-lived iLoad to bring a bold new vision to the van segment.

Staria-Load delivers all the dependability of iLoad coupled with a larger, more usable cargo area, greatly improved performance and a vast array of advanced safety and convenience technology not offered by the competition.

Staria-Load arrives in the van segment with a host of unique features, including: l Segment leading standard safety features: FCA-JT,

Staria- Load comes with a huge cargo area

BCA-R, RCCA, front centre airbag l 2.5 Tonne braked towing capacity l Class leading technology: Surround View Monitor, Qi Wireless Charging

l A more usable and flexible cargo area Staria-Load is available in either a 2 seat van or 5 seat crew van configuration, with the option of a liftback or twin swing tailgate.

Doors open wide enough to allow forkliftaccess

While Staria-Load has moved to a passenger car platform and FWD drivetrain, performance and dependability are better than ever. A solid rear axle and leaf spring rear

suspension provide a strong set up for carrying heavy loads reliably, while the new platform and powertrain help increase braked towing capacity to 2.5 Tonnes.

Staria-Load’s new platform

and layout has increased cargo volume and made the space more usable, increasing key dimensions for a cargo area, with an increased sliding door opening width for side forklift access.

Newly released Sporty SP Mazda2 Hatch

Mazda2 releases Sporty G15 The stylish and safe Mazda2 range continues to evolve with the introduction of a sporty new G15 Pure SP variant.

Offered on the hatch, the G15 Pure SP adds black accents to the exterior and interior to enhance the styling of the Mazda2’s most popular grade.

G15 Pure SP builds on the comprehensively equipped G15 Pure grade with black 16-inch alloy wheels, black exterior mirrors, a black grille and chrome exhaust extension. Inside, black cloth upholstery with red trim completes the look.

Mazda Australia Managing Director, Vinesh Bhindi, said the new grade will elevate

the G15 Pure grade, which accounts for over half of Mazda2’s 2021 sales.

“In 2021 Mazda2 has demonstrated its ongoing appeal and strong safety credentials, with increased sales and share in the light vehicle segment,” said Mazda Australia Managing Director, Vinesh Bhindi.

Additionally, all Mazda2 models become safer with the inclusion of rear seat belt reminders across the range.

On the exterior front, Platinum Quartz Metallic is new to both Mazda2 Sedan and Hatch ranges, while Polymetal Grey – already available on Hatch – is now optional for Sedan, too.

Powering the 2021

Mazda2 range is the familiar 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G four-cylinder petrol engine.

This high-compression naturally-aspirated powerplant generates 82kW and 144Nm while consuming only 5.3L/100km when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission, or 5.4L/100km when paired with a six-speed manual transmission. G15 Pure SP will be available as automatic only.

The Mazda2 retains its reputation as one of the safest with a five-star ANCAP safety rating awarded across the range. Features such as Smart City Brake Support, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitoring.

Grantham State School From the Principal Our vision at Grantham State School is to nurture a community of learners who are curious, creative, confident and caring.

Curious Being curious is one of the ways children learn. We love to hear children asking questions. In our classes, children are encouraged to ask questions, challenge the norm and answer that all important question ‘why?’. Curiosity motivates children to want to explore, try new things and helps reinforce self-learning.

Creative Providing opportunities for children to be creative is a core part of our daily business at Grantham State School. We think the Arts (music, drama, visual art, dance) are just as important as English, Maths, Science and sport.

Creativity is not just about the arts though. It’s about learning to think about things in different ways and learning to solve problems. Its about sparking imagination to see the world through a kaleidoscope where changing our perspective can inspire us to generate new ideas, strategies and techniques.

Confident Confidence helps children experience and celebrate success.

At Grantham State School, we encourage children to have a go, to speak in public, to try and fail and get up and try again.

Being confident helps children to make friends and set goals that are beyond the mediocre. Children’s wellbeing is so important to us here at Grantham, and being confident helps build positive self-esteem.

Caring At the very heart of our school is an incredible group of adults who model and demonstrate caring every day. We genuinely care about every student who walks through our school gate.

Our school is made up of a group of individuals, but these individuals are part of a community. At Grantham State School, we teach children to care about themselves, each other and our environment.

If you are keen to learn more about our school, contact our friendly administration office and come and experience the Grantham vision in action for yourself.

Grantham State School What do our students say about our school?

"At our school, everyone is welcome. It doesn’t matter what colour you are or what your religion is. Everyone in our school has a friend, and if someone doesn’t then people invite them into their friendship group.

I feel lucky to be in this school. If I wasn’t here, I don’t know where else I would be. I have so many friends that make me feel like myself. I am allowed to be who I actually am. No one can stop us from that.

If we want an education, that is what school is for. School will lead us onto a fantastic future. This is why I’m grateful for being at this school."

RW

"I shall tell you what some of the best things at school are; reading, German, art and Integrated Studies. It is a very nice place because there are not too many people and it is easy to make friends."

NH

"I like school because I’m learning something new every day.

Math is my favourite subject because it is a fun subject and when it is hard, I try my best. I also like art because I can show my creativity."

SK

"I think Grantham is an awesome school because there are lots of things to do. One of my favourite things to do is go in the drama building because it’s a big area and you can do lots of things there. At Grantham you can also do things like gardening club, Instrumental and choir. I also love this school because there are lots of fun subjects like art, sport, music and technologies."

JB "My school is all about learning new things and having fun, and its all because of our lovely teachers. My school is also very beautiful with trees, bushes and flowers. So I would just like to say “Thank you Grantham State School for making my life better.”

Lockyer District High School Lockyer District High offer signature programs that complement our curriculum.

The Agricultural Program and Show Team strongly reflect and represent our community. The school farm proudly boasts horticultural areas, a large aquaponics and hydroponics set-up, fodder machines, poultry shed, and grazing paddocks for the school’s 2019 Ekka award-winning stud cattle. The highly successful Cattle Show Team travels to shows in the South East and Darling Downs region and have frequently attained Champion and Grand Champion ribbons. To further their industry knowledge students also take part in Junior Cattle Handling and Judging competitions, Prime Lamb judging competitions, and the Young Farmers Challenge. Senior Agriculture students have successfully represented the Lockyer Growers Association in the Youth in Agriculture District Display competition at the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka). Students are also supported to transition to life and work in the agricultural industry through our strong links to UQ Gatton Campus, links to local and national industry organisations as well as through our established Certificate III in Rural Operations.

Lockyer District State High School’s award-winning Challenge Solve Investigate (CSI) program is part of our STEM network which connects primary, secondary and tertiary education institutes within the Darling Downs region. In this program the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Art and Mathematics are used to design solutions to real-world problems. Students utilise new and emerging technologies such as 3D printing, coding, sensors, robotics and drones.

This unique program develops student’s capabilities whilst engaging with emerging technologies and see the applications of these in academic research and the real-world. Students also gain experience acting as mentors to younger students through our primary school partners. Many students transition to our Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot Visual Line of Sight). The same industry experts who deliver to all Boeing pilots also deliver our school program.

Literacy and Numeracy support is provided to our students who find literacy and/or numeracy a challenge. Our comprehensive program is delivered by dedicated teachers and support staff to improve foundational skills for targeted students. These skills will support students’ successful engagement in all learning areas, and life outside of and beyond school.

The highly successful Dance Program at Lockyer District High School is very well regarded by industry. Students compete in a range of eisteddfods across South East Queensland, and in 2021 placed in every dance they entered. The troupe were specially invited to Toowoomba’s Empire and a number of individual dancers featured at the renowned Creative Generation – State Schools on Stage. Students in this program often transition to Certificate III in Dance, offered at this school.

2019 Japan Tourmeeting with Ageo's Mayor We are a friendly and respectful school. We support our community, and welcome parents and the community into our school to showcase our students and the great work we do.

Lockyer District High school students proudly participate in the Anzac Day parade and NAIDOC week and our Student Representative Council engage our students in events such as Shave for A Cure and National Tree Day.

Our school has a long and proud relationship with schools in our Japanese partner city, Ageo. For over 30 years Ageo schools have participated in an education tour hosted by our school with students billeted by our families. This special program was complemented by a 2019 tour to Ageo by our students and staff, and further enhanced in 2021 with the introduction of Japanese as a LOTE subject. Year 7 students were fortunate to participate in Zoom interactions with students of a similar age at Junior High Schools in Ageo City.

This innovative program was recognised by a recent visit to our school by the Consul-General to Japan.

Lockyer District High School is the largest school in the Lockyer Valley. Our comprehensive programs, great facilities, expert and dedicated staff, and our community support make our school a great place to learn, grow and thrive.

Minden State School Inquiring Minds at Minden Inquiry-based learning has been a focal point of Minden’s approach to S.T.E.M. in recent years. This year, the Grade three and four classes at Minden State School have participated in a series of activities designed to challenge their thinking and beliefs about how and why things operate the way they do. This centred on the development of student knowledge through active investigation and problem-solving.

Classroom teacher Mrs Allison Martin stated, “The inquiry approach is more student-centred and allows the child to take more ownership of their learning. This is a shift away from a more traditional content-driven approach towards one that provides children with the skills and resources to discover knowledge for themselves.” The process involves students being presented with a question or challenge and then given time to develop skills and use resources to explore, investigate and search for answers or solutions without direct teaching. They plan, carry out research, form generalisations and conclusions and decide how they could change things to make improvements.

The role of the teacher then becomes one of guidance and encouragement as they support students to view the world in different ways and help develop a range of problem-solving skills.

Communication and collaboration are an integral part of Minden’s inquiry approach as student’s learn how to convert information into useful knowledge that can be applied to new situations and prompt further learning.

Back in time with Technology Minden students stepped back in time recently when their technology lessons challenged them to design and make a pinball machine. For a generation of children who had little or no experience with the 1970’s arcade game classic, this was no easy task. Problem-solving involved an understanding of scale, velocity and physics which required extensive research, trial and remodelling to get the final product just right.

ACCEPTING ENROLMENTS NOW FOR 2022 ACROSS ALL YEAR LEVELS

Student Council What do chalk drawing, crazy hair day and school assemblies have in common? At Minden, these activities and events are all organised and conducted by the Student Council. A proactive and busy group of students, the Student Council is comprised of the school’s student leaders who meet on a regular basis under the guidance of the principal and class teacher. The group aims to build school spirit and pride through the organisation of a range of lunch-time activities and fundraising events whilst developing leadership qualities and representing the school in the wider community.

Principal, Anne Wilkes stated, “Supporting the student council is a highlight of my work. I get to nurture the development of skills like leadership, communication, teamwork, organisation and public speaking and have lots of fun at the same time.” A recent addition to the council’s school pride initiative has been the introduction of a legacy project. The group wanted a tangible reminder of their final year at primary school whilst also being something the entire school could use and enjoy.

Previous contributions have included a Buddy Bench and seating for the Nature Play area.

Peace Lutheran Primary School Peace by name. Peace by nature.

Peace Lutheran Primary School will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2022.

During the past 40 years many things have changed. Yet, one thing that hasn’t changed is the school’s desire to see young people flourish and grow through an education that supports each student in mind, body, and soul.

Peace firmly believes that every student can and should experience success in their learning. The school provides an atmosphere and environment that enables students to develop and demonstrate resilience, persistence, grit, collaboration, compassion, courage, hope, and a ‘have-a-go’ attitude.

This year, our students from Prep – Year 6 have had an opportunity to experience project based learning. Students wrestle with real life questions and issues (such as recycling and sustainability) as they investigate topics, construct solutions, and demonstrate and share their work with their peers, parents, and wider community.

Our teaching and learning, through experienced and passionate educators and aides, is always seeking to provide opportunities for students to not only survive but to thrive both now and into the future. We constantly ask ourselves ‘what knowledge, skills, and attitudes will students need for the future?’ Students starting school in 2022 will not finish Year 12 until 2034! We seek to develop a mindset and skills that will give a solid grounding so that students can face and conquer whatever challenges the world throws at them, whether it be in 2022, 2034, or 2054.

All of this is lived out in a safe, caring Christian environment where students are nurtured to see themselves and each other as unique and valued. As a Christian school, Peace provides students with the opportunity to learn about Jesus and how they are a loved part of God’s ongoing creation.

Peace is proud of each of its students and 2020/2021 has certainly enabled them to demonstrate how resilient and strong they are, as they worked through all the challenges of COVID, lockdowns and all the chatter that has gone with it.

If you’d like to learn more about Peace and to see if it would be a good fit for your family, we would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your child.

Be at Peace and know that your child is in safe, caring hands.

Ropeley State School We thoroughly enjoy a yearly visit from our friendly local fire people who share their knowledge about fire safety as well as allow the children to man the fire hose and familiarise themselves with every aspect of the fire truck including the ‘jaws of life’!

Ropeley is a vibrant small school tucked away in picturesque, well maintained gardens, located a short but worthwhile drive from Gatton.

We are an inclusive school and provide individual programs to cater for differing needs. We have facilities for students with physical challenges, and access to a range of specialists including Speech, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Dental Van, School Nurse and Guidance officers.

The students enjoy school swimming classes with professional coaches, we also join with our small school friends for the annual swimming carnival.

This year Ropeley held a NAIDOC day to expose our children to First Nations People’s culture and teachings. The day commenced with a smoking ceremony and included language, story, dance, art, lunch and afternoon tea and finished with a beautiful celebratory cake.

We join with local small schools for fun days and excursions at no cost to parents, including the Caffey Small Schools Sports Carnivals. We have a range of facilities including a tennis court, cricket pitch, oval, undercover playground, and undercover concrete area. The children have access to giant chess, giant blocks, scooter boards, table tennis and bowls sets to name just a few.

We have specialist teachers who visit regularly covering the following subjects: German - including events like ‘Tipp Kick’ competition and Octoberfest in Brisbane, participating in a wide range of educational and fun German cultural activities.

Music - drum, keyboard, glockenspiel and guitar lessons.

Students participate in ‘Sing Out’ a grand music festival held in Toowoomba every second year. There is also great exposure to drama and dance activities culminating in our end of year performance and presentation.

Religion is provided on a weekly basis by local instructors fully approved by the Department of Education.

We have a dedicated Art space which doubles as a wellresourced space for cooking related to special events such as Christmas, Easter, science and catering for our small school gatherings. We enter our art work in both Gatton Show and Ma Ma Creek Exhibition and create ANZAC wreaths for our Mayor to take to Dawn Services each year.

History and Social Science (HASS) exposes children to a range of concepts and topics related to life and democracy in Australia and geographies of countries around the world.

Health & Physical Education is delivered by a visiting specialist teacher who ensures that all children have access to skills necessary to participate in a range of carnivals and daily movement for health and wellbeing.

Technology is well resourced with each student having individual access to iPads, laptops, desktop computers and a range of other technology including a 3D printer and cameras.

We fund an IT specialist to provide expert advice and experiences related to technology for the children.

Sophia College Plainland Unique, bold, creative.

Situated on 19 hectares in the heart of Plainland, Sophia College welcomed 96 foundation students in January this year. The day was a landmark occasion with the continuation of a Catholic education for students in the Lockyer Valley. The College is a Brisbane Catholic Education coeducational secondary school which offers an affordable education for students from all areas of the West Moreton region.

Founded in the Franciscan tradition, Sophia College has a fresh approach to education through a Laudato Si’ lens which brings a uniqueness not present in other schools in the Lockyer Valley The College’s strong emphasis on ecology, science and technology equips students with the skills to make a difference in the careers they enter.

Visitors comment not only on the breathtakingly campus but also on the genuine welcome they receive from community members.

Creativity is brought to life through the different religious symbols featured in the College. Students and staff worked together to create bold links to both St Francis and the College’s Catholic identity. Each foundation member of the College handpainted a tile which collectively created a large artwork of St Francis and the wolf. The artwork was presented and blessed as part of the opening and blessing of the College’s buildings.

Technology abounds at Sophia College with all students capably engaging in Digital Technologies, Design and Engineering subjects.

All lessons use technology to enhance learning and the Eco Science Precinct is a hive of research opportunities to engage students in learning. While the College provides a sound platform for literacy and numeracy, creativity is developed through the growing music program along with art, drama and dance lessons.

Sport is emerging at Sophia College with students competing against other local high schools and Franciscan schools. Despite being a small, new college, students were the very proud recipients of the Touch Football Trophy at the Lockyer District Year 7 Cluster Day. Take a step in the right direction by visiting the College website to organise a tour so you too can experience the difference.

The passing of the torch Barry Neymer was an icon of the Gatton Real Estate community, and his passing earlier this year was felt by everyone who knew the Elders' patriarch.

Whether it's on the sporting field or in the business arena, it's a pretty hard gig following a true legend of their game, but it's a challenge new Elders principal Ros Burton is ready to take on.

"Barry has created the strongest of reputations in the Lockyer and we hope to continue that deep connection he's had with the local community," Mrs Burton said.

No stranger to the real estate industry herself, Mrs Burton is also the principal of Gatton's Rangecrest Realty and The Real Estate People in Toowoomba.

She will now take over the reins of the Elders franchise, which will merge with the successful Rangecrest office.

The new enterprise will trade out of the current Elders premises in Railway Street, with exciting plans in the works which will be revealed following the Christmas break.

"I've said this in the past and it certainly rings true today - there's always a juggling act with growing a business - you have to be so careful that there's no customer disconnect," Mrs Burton said.

"You want your family to stay a family.

"As in any business, you develop a strong relationship with your clients over the years and they can sometimes be worried that things will change when a merger like ours happens.

"Some customers fear they'll be forgotten or ignored as new staff get to know them or if office procedures change.

"But I can assure everyone, that won't be a problem because we're very happy to have Wendy and Maree Mitchell staying on with the agency, as well as Linda George and Julieanne Denman; and our own

Rangecrest staff Anna Ratcliffe, Melissa Moriarty and Julie Jones will also remain part of the team.

"We're also excited to have long-term local of more than 30 years, Mellissa Meldrum joining our sales team.

"I know they'll all be able to make this changeover seamless and are integral to a smooth transition for Elders and Rangecrest customers - whether they be buying, selling or renting," Mrs Burton said.

"It's always comforting to have a familiar voice on the end of the phone or that

same friendly smile when you walk in the door, so we're definitely excited to be able to retain their services and utilise their vast experience and knowledge.

Mrs Burton believes "change simply for the sake of change" is a dangerous path to tread.

"Sure, I want my business to be the most successful it can be, but at the same time I don't want to compromise Elders proven customer service model.

"What's the good of growing at warp speed if you're going to destroy all the relationships and goodwill you've been building for so many years?

"Whether they number 10 or 10,000, our valued customers, tenants and landlords (our family) are the sole reason we're in business - they deserve our full attention and support 24/7, because looking after properties - whether through sales or property management - is why we open our doors each day," Mrs Burton said.

"The Elders name is synonymous with the rural sector and we are very excited to now be working under such a respected brand.

"Barry has left us some pretty big boots to fill, but I'm confident we'll make he, and the rest of the Neymer family, proud with how we take his Elders legacy forward."

Your trusted name in real estate If you're looking to buy, sell or rent then there's only one agency you want behind you - Elders Real Estate Gatton.

With a strong reputation for honesty and integrity and a proven track record of sales, our experienced Gatton team will ensure your selling experience is fast, effective and, most of all, stress-free.

NOVEMBER 3, 2021

MOORE WEEKLY STARS NOVEMBER 1-7, 2021 ARIES

Expect some highs and lows this week! Venus promises improved relations with a friend, client or colleague. But the Sun-Uranus opposition highlights hiccups in your financial management in the form of a large bill, an unexpected expense or a retrospective tax debt. Which reinforces the importance of having a smart savings plan and a well-stocked emergency fund. So – going forward – strive to be less impulsive and extravagant, and more cautious and thrifty.

TAURUS

Bulls prefer to plod along in a methodical fashion but, this week, you could be dogged by unexpected dramas and disruptions! The Sun opposes Uranus (in your sign) so daily life will be rather unpredictable. If you prioritise and are mentally flexible, then you’ll handle the hurly-burly with less stress and strain. Romantic relationships and platonic partnerships are also in a state of flux. You’ll find the more adaptable you are, the better the final outcomes will be.

GEMINI

You could become anxious, as your daily routine is disrupted in some way. Or your enthusiasm for a work project could overtake your ability to knuckle down and get the job done. If you promise more than you can deliver, then other people will just end up disappointed. Slow down and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice. It offers an alternative perspective and can point you in the direction that’s right for you. The weekend is wonderful for conversation and cooperation.

CANCER

This week a child, teenager, friend or lover could shock you by making a surprise move. Or a group project could suddenly veer off in an unexpected direction. If you keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed, then you’ll adjust to the constantly changing landscape accordingly. Peace planet Venus transits into your relationship zone on Friday. So stop sulking and stewing over a perceived slight – it’s time to cooperate, compromise and sympathise!

LEO

Leos love to be the Top Cat but this week you need to ask yourself, “Am I leading others or just bossing them around?” If you power ahead without considering other people, then you’ll create unnecessary chaos and disruption. Do your best to accommodate the needs of those around you.

Life will also run more smoothly if you can incorporate a spiritual ritual into your daily routine.

Something like yoga, tai chi, chanting, meditation or creative visualisation would be beneficial.

VIRGO

When it comes to the way you think, blast out of a boring rut and jump into an exciting new phase.

Use your imagination and think outside the box.

Your power planet Mercury moves through your communication zone from Friday (London time) until November 24. So stop avoiding issues and start discussing what you really want and need.

You can’t expect others to magically read your mind! For some clever Virgos, a joint venture or creative online project has the potential to fly.

LIBRA

Venus (your patron planet) shifts into Capricorn, which can increase self-criticism and dent confidence. With the Sun, Mercury and Mars

marching through your self-esteem zone, it’s time to hold your head high and trust your inner judgement. Be inspired by actress and birthday great, Sally Field (born on November 6, 1946): “It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.” On the weekend, keep the lines of communication and compassion wide open.

SCORPIO This week the Sun, Mars and Mercury are transiting through your sign. And the Sun-Uranus opposition could disrupt your usual routine and rattle your Scorpio resilience. But it’s time to bounce back, as you demonstrate (and celebrate) your strengths – including passion, determination and discretion. Your motto for the moment is from singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell (who turns 78 on Sunday), “There are things to confess that enrich the world, and things that need not be said.”

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarians can be feisty and unpredictable souls. But don’t allow yourself to be drawn into a heated exchange this week (especially involving finances and/or friends). It would be better to watch the fireworks from the sidelines. With the Sun, Mercury and Mars transiting through your privacy zone, slow down and chill out as you relax, rejuvenate and contemplate. After some soulful reflection and quality ‘me time’, you’ll start to see things from a refreshingly different perspective.

CAPRICORN It’s time for an unexpected pivot! Clever Capricorns will examine all possibilities this week, especially ones that come from left field. With the Sun, Mars and Mercury moving through your hopes-and-wishes zone, it’s important to have ambitious long-term goals that you’re working towards. You’ll have to be patient though, as you focus on bringing your dreams down to earth via a practical plan. Then – when everything is in place – you’ll know the perfect time to pounce.

AQUARIUS The Sun/Uranus opposition suggests a house move, family fiasco, uninvited guests dropping in or some other kind of domestic drama. And some Aquarians could experience disruptions at work. Whatever happens this week, strive to get the balance right between your public life and your private responsibilities. The planets also push you to reinvent a close relationship. But is that a good idea? Just be careful you don’t get carried away and throw the baby out with the bathwater.

PISCES Are your aspirations for the future ambitious enough? The current planetary patterns favour ruminating over big-picture ideas. And there’s no room for false modesty or passive Piscean procrastination as you enjoy talking, texting, posting, promoting, socialising and circulating.

Uranus stimulates your thought processes and encourages you to come up with a cracking plan, and then pursue it. An unwelcome surprise could unsettle you though so hold tight and expect the unexpected!

The next generation of Gatton sporting legends were recognised at Lockyer District High School’s awards presentation last Friday.

In team sports, athletics, swimming, equestrian, and cross country, Lockyer students were rewarded for their talent, dedication, and hard work.

LDHS Head of Department health and physical education Rob Weatherby presented the sports awards including the Stuart Werth Memorial Trophy.

“This is awarded to the student who shows similar characteristics to Stuart Werth, who tragically lost his life on the night of the 1997 Sports Night,” Mr Weatherby said.

“There is nothing he won’t do to help out,” Mr Weatherby said.

“He’ll always jump in there and give 100%.”

Team of the Year was awarded to the open boys’ rugby league team, led by captain Noah Jackson and coached by Matthew Schulz.

“Each young man should stand tall and proud of their

efforts throughout the year,” Mr Weatherby said.

Three students represented Queensland this year.

Jordan Webster and Mitchell Toohey reached state level for swimming and Clare Fedrick in equestrian.

Clare set a new record for QLD Equestrian.

Mitchell broke two swimming records and Jordan an impressive ten records.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR THUNDER CRICKET CLUB AT FERNVALE Somerset Regional Council has approved a $4,000 community assistant grant application from Marburg Mt Crosby Thunder Cricket Club for improvements at Fernvale Sports Ground.

Fernvale Recreation Grounds Committee representative Bob Whalley welcomed the project, which will improve the wicket block at the sports ground.

“This grant will allow the

club to improve the wicket block so that the surface is level and drains properly in wet weather,” Cr Whalley said.

The improvements will make playing cricket at the

ground a more attractive proposition and will support the club in their plans to use the facilities to promote junior cricket.

“As one of the fastest-growing regions in the

state, Council is more than happy to support our community in providing quality facilities for our existing residents and families who are making the region their new home.”

The grant will provide the funds to undertake the wicket improvements, while the club will maintain the cricket pitch as part of their ongoing commitment to junior cricket in the region.

BOWLS TOOGOOLAWAH BOWLS CLUB Tuesday 26th October we held a belated Police Legacy Charity Day and what a day it was. Everyone was a winner with all enjoying themselves both on the green and in the clubhouse. A very big thankyou to all donors of the myriad of prizes which went to winning bowls teams and to raffle winners. Toogoolawah Bowls Club looks forward to hosting the event again in 2022.

On Thursday 28th October, Gerrit Winkeler, Col Mercer, Graeme Heaton and Kim Dorman travelled to Yarraman for their Pub Day. Two good games but second each time although enjoyed by all. Thanks, Yarraman for the invite.

Also on 28th at home, we had 6 players who enjoyed a game of Triples.

Keith McWhirter, Neville Finlay and Dot McVeigh drew with Len Smyth, Colleen Heath and Lyn McWhirter. Raffle went to Lyn McWhirter.

Our Valley of the Lakes Carnival Weekend has been run and won on the 30th and 31st October. 14 teams have contested our annual event and a great time was had by all. Winners were Steve Blessleys team.

Runners up were The Ethnics. Third place went to Claytons Team.

Fourth Place went to Bill Woods Team. Fifth Place went to Kedgies Team (4th Round Winners) and Sixth Place Went to Watsons Team (5th Round Winners). A very big thankyou to all of our sponsors who make events like this possible. Particulay thanks to our Major Sponsor, Esk Co-op and Thirsty Camel.

Our next Pub Day will be held on 9th November. Sponsor to be L.J. Hooker, Esk and Toogoolawah.

Our next scheduled club meeting will be held on Sunday 14th of November. 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: o Thursday’s Social Bowls now starts with names in by 5.00pm for start at 5.30 pm. o Sunday games will remain at 12.00 for 12.30 start of play. o On Friday 19th of November we will be introducing a Barefoot Bowls and Burger Evening. Cost of play is $10.00 which will include a Beef Burger. Have you booked in yet? please note that as we are a licenced club there will not be any BYO. Games to be 5.30pm for 6.00pm start. o 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 will be 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. Please call the club and leave a message on 5423 1165, or call Keith on 0412 482 771 if you would like to come along or just turn up at the club at least half an hour before game start. 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.
