Proud sponsors of the Jandowae & District Show

Bell Show Ball Bell Show Ball was well attended on Valentine’s Day with many people from around the district packing the Bell Memorial Hall.

The formal part of the evening saw the judging of ladies entering in their categories. Judges had a hard time making their decisions. With great anticipation the Bell Showgirl for 2014 was announced as Lauren Fisher.

Show Princess was presented to Mikayla Heathwood. Junior Miss Showgirl was Rebekah Arnold and Show Queen was Carole Gray.

The entrants received many wonderful gifts donated by sponsors including a pearl bracelet, vouchers, flowers and much more.

Lauren has volunteered her time at the show and other local events including the Bell and Cooranga North Camp draft.

Everyone continued to dance long into the night with the bands Darren Gray and Pure Kaos.

The Show Committee would like to thank everyone involved and we would like to wish Lauren all the best at the Toowoomba Show.

A Note From The Editor It’s hard to believe March is here already, it feels as though the year has just begun, yet here we are almost at Easter again! With March of course comes the change of season, the start of Autumn and hopefully some cooler weather, maybe even some rain if we’re lucky!

This month we have a wonderful story from one of our new contributors, Chantahl Stedman, who has written a story on the very talented photographer, Scott Bridle.

You will see some of his amazing photographs and read all about Scott on pages 12 - 13 of this edition.

n, Editor Jessica Flyn

We are also excited to bring to our readers a Feature on the upcoming Jandowae Show, and a recap on our local Showgirl Dinners held recently. Congratulations to winners of all categories.

There are great competitions in this month’s magazine, with tickets for The Phantom of the Opera up for grabs, as well as our usual Pet of the Month Competition!

Enjoy your first Autumn Edition of the Jandowae Mill for 2014.

Lions News Since the last newsletter we have held two more market days, a January and February market. Both market days were well attended by the community. It is always great to see our regular stall holders. Every market day we seem to have someone new come along with something different which makes the day more interesting. Of course the kitchen staff are always kept busy with bacon, sausages and eggs. Hot chips and donuts with our cappuccinos are also a great way to relax on a Sunday morning. Not forgetting our Ringmaster who keeps the kids occupied with the merry-go-round.

Following our February markets on Sunday morning, Lions held our zone meeting with Lions coming from Dalby, Cecil Plains and Chinchilla. After the meeting, our visitors and members enjoyed lunch and a cuppa including a chance for a bit of socialising with our neighbouring Lions members.

Our members also helped at the Jandowae Street Party night by having a stall cooking donuts and also keeping lots of children busy with the merrygo-round.

Our newsletter probably sounds as though we do a lot of catering, but out of this activity we are able to donate to many worthwhile charities and also the local community. Recently we have donated to the Jandowae Memorial Hall Committee and also to our local hospital, with two new pressure relieving mattresses purchased for the hospital with donated funds. These mattresses will provide comfort and pressure relief for many patients in the Palliative Care section of the Hospital.

Photo: Kath Wellstead, Acting Nursing Director, Jandowae Hospital, and Ivan Grundy, Lions President, stand beside one of two pressure relieving mattresses purchased with funds donated by Jandowae Lions.

So we work hard as well as enjoying ourselves, and we are always seeking new members to help us shoulder the load.

We have also donated funds to “Aussie Helpers� hoping that some farmers See you at our next markets on 23rd March 2014. can be assisted during this drought. Lions also have foundations such as Australian Lions Children Mobility Foundation and Childhood Cancer Norma Curd, Lions Secretary Research Foundation, to which our club have contributed.

Jandowae Music Club “Jamin” Session Hey Hey!! All you groovers, did we have a great afternoon of entertainment on the 9th of February!

We may not have had whip crackers, but

by Jove we had some rockers, country, and squeeze box players, all “pumpin” it out, throughout the afternoon to the record crowd of over 65 people in number.

I cannot thank the community and the artists enough for all their efforts, I don’t think I saw anyone go out the door without a smile on their face.

We are now getting regular artists coming to the gig and some are travelling from as far away as Kingaroy, Dalby, Brigalow, Chinchilla, Durong and of course our old favourite Jandowae.

There are a lot of people to thank but, “A big thanks”, this week goes to two people who never fail us, and they are Les and Oakey of Jandowae. Every session they arrive two hours earlier to set up their equipment for all to use.

Without them we may well be lost, and what a pair of characters they are as well.

I will not be at the next session, but that is no excuse for you not to come and enjoy yourselves for a gold coin donation, and a plate of “grub”.

The next date is 9th of March 2014.

Keep On Rollin On Rick Hogarth Jandowae Memorial Hall Committee

Jandowae Business and Community Group This has been a busy and mind boggling past four to five months, with the Business and Community Group working with QGC and a company called Social Ventures Australia. Together they have pushed the Group with “love”, to come up with a Strategic Plan for Jandowae’s future.

At the moment the final product is being packaged up for us to reveal to the Jandowae Public for all to view and provide feedback.

The meeting for this will be mid to late April as we want to give everybody a chance to come along and be part of the process to help Jandowae move forward (not tell us, we didn’t know it was on).

As far as I know nothing like this has been done throughout the Western Downs, all of the Chamber of Commerce/Business Groups have been through the same process and it will take the whole of the Western Downs in the right direction.

Jandowae Cottage Craft

Meals on Wheels

Another month has passed us by and we still have had no rain. I guess we have to be patient for a little longer. We had a display at the Jandowae street carnival. This gained a lot of interest and I would sincerely like to congratulate the organisers of the carnival as it was enjoyed by all who attended.

Jandowae MOW held a morning tea on Friday 31st January giving Volunteers the opportunity to meet the new members on the Committee, President Bec Harth and Treasurer Cara Keehn.

Guest speaker Debbie Dennien from Queensland Meals on Wheels was able to tell the volunteers some of the changes at QMOW, but more importantly it was Jandowae’s MOW Committee’s way of saying thank you to a very dedicated band of volunteers. Some of the drivers travel into town from up to 30 kilometres away just to deliver one meal. We now have a full roster of driver deliverers but as with most organisations we will gladly welcome more, so if you have a free day Monday to Friday and would like to help deliver meals, you will be made most welcome. It takes about an hour of your time, with meals picked up at the hospital and delivered to our clients.

Our ladies are still working on their hexagon bags and then they start on the bucket bag. Saturday craft begins on the 8th March at 9am. Every one welcome, doesn’t forget morning tea and lunch.

Their will only be two craft days in April because of Easter and Anzac Day. Daph Polzin

A surprise visit by Santa in short pants delighted all present.

January was a reasonably quiet month with several staff members on leave. Several new staff and volunteers have joined the team since the last magazine article and are fitting in well to the Taralga family.

The Taralga Management Committee has also welcomed a new member, with Jenny Hartwig accepting an appointment.

The independent living units are fully occupied and Taralga aged care facility currently has one vacant room.

They say they breed them tough in the bush but really I think we breed them brilliant…well that’s the case when you mention the name Scott Bridle. Scott is a born and bred Glenmorgan boy raised at Erambie. His appreciation for nature and the bush was implanted into him from day one by his mother and father as they taught him about the magnificence and splendour that the bush had to offer. With his mother as an artist there is no doubt that Scott “grew up immersed in art” and before long his mother gave him another artistic medium to turn his hand at, photography.

Leaving home at age 20 set for the stations up north with camera in hand, Scott embarked on a journey of majestic beauty and admiration.

He spent 15 years as a stockman snapping away before graduating to the skies as a pilot. This different angle opened the doorway for Scott in to a new world of photographic opportunities. He spent 10 years in the air before returning to the district with ample images that left the masses in awe. Scott delighted in seeing the pleasant expressions as people looked on through his photos which lead him to compiling his recent book “Outback”. From here Scott decided to try his hand at a bit of healthy competition by entering the BHP Billiton Cannington Waltzing Matilda Photographic Competition. He began his success in this area taking out first place in the Colour Print section in 2010 and more recently again in 2013 with his image (pictured) Jordan’s Woolshed Brenda.

Scott continues his passion for photography right here in the Western Downs and is now based in Meandarra with his newly established helicopter business specialising in contract mustering, feral animal control and aerial photography. With his love for the bush, Scott has also developed a special talent for the odd portrait or two. He is currently building his photographic portfolio in order to release another book and plans to do a

few more trips out west before its completion.

Scott’s current book “Outback” can be found at all leading book stores or on his website www. scottbridle.com; for bookings and enquiries please contact Scott on 0429 674 114 or Fairway Studios, Goondiwindi. For those that are interested in photography or would even like to just give it a go, Scott will be judging the Photography section at the Tara Show on the 8th March. And just to be sure he never misses an opportunity, Scott “always has his camera with him” no matter where his travels may lead.

Musings

The Year 1950...Facts and Fancies What do you remember about the year 1950? I remember I was eight years old and during the Timbertown Festival later this year in June. Of course, RW Blinco and most of that year for me is enveloped in a fog. It was my third year of school, so I Sons were also operating their mill to the east of town. guess a few pecking orders had been established by then.

In 1950 the Jandowae Butter factory was our main manufacturing industry, with As I have stated before, the fifties were the glory days of Jandowae. At this particular over 300 farmers supplying cream to the enterprise. For all the newcomers, the time it is good to note that the Jandowae Show was in its third year also, the first factory was situated on the vacant block next to the Swimming Pool. A small brick celebrated in 1948. I seem to recall the builders (Alva McBaron was one) having office is all that remains as evidence of the Dairy Industry in this town. The main some difficulty putting the bits together in the refurbished Pavilion. building came down in the early years of this century.

I also remember as a six year old in 1948 waiting for the governor of our great state to arrive. The fact that we were lined up each side of the road from the front entrance remains indelibly imprinted on my brain.... lined up for hours it seemed at the time. Lieutenant General Sir John Lavarak was the man in question. I readily admit Google supplied the information. He was just some bloke in a flash car to myself and most of my classmates.... a very late bloke in a flash car.

There is not much evidence today of the thriving Dairy farming centre that Jandowae was in those heady years. It was the mainstay of the farming fraternity and continued until the factory closed in the early 1970's. The cream was then collected and sent to Dalby where it was processed into butter. The Dalby factory closed in the 1990's. It is now the CRT shop on the left as one drives out of Dalby on the Warrego Highway towards Chinchilla.

Someone made the suggestion that there were 13 pubs in Dalby... but I didn't understand such snide remarks at that tender age. But I guess it is important to note that the road through Dalby in those days went past the other side of the racetrack and down Patrick Street into the town centre, making it a little hard to ignore that town and its attractions.

Jandowae had two bakers, two butchers, two grocery/hardware/household goods shops (Lovell's on George...next to the Ambulance Station and the Pall Mall Traders where Athlone Cottage now stands).

Both were very successful enterprises. That road to Dalby was the one seldom travelled by most of us in those years. Jandowae was a standalone centre back then and most of us only ventured down that track in cases of necessity.

Todays main drag was not the main drag back then. I do remember being sick and tired of standing in line, while other kids were taking full advantage of side show Due to lack of space and some inspiration, I will continue this walk down memory alley and the fairy floss, cold drinks and toffee apples! lane next month.

Jandowae & District Garden Club Inc. Our next meeting will be in the garden of Dorothy and John Finlayson, 80 Warra Street, Jandowae on Tuesday 25th March. The Chinchilla Garden Centre will be there with plants for sale.

Members were recently welcomed back for our first meeting for 2014. We gathered at the Jandowae Cultural Centre in the cool. Our guest Speaker was Lorraine Liste from Toowoomba, and we found her talk very interesting. Questions were forthcoming about the Passive Solar House. Lorraine also explained how she collected rainfall records from local people who had kept rainfall records over long periods. These were collated through Landcare for the Condamine Catchment which of course affects the Murray-Darling water levels. Thank you for sharing your expertise Lorraine.

Theresa Eadie from Goombungee was present with Daylilies for sale. She had lovely plants in spite of the dry and puts a lot of expertise into her display. Her talk was very interesting. Thank you for coming Theresa.

We hope to see you at our next meeting on 25th March. New members are always welcome. Please bring a hat, chair, mug and lunch to share.

Gardening Tips for March After the heat and humidity that we have been having, your roses may be starting to look a bit out of shape. It is a good idea to prune any stray branches and fertilise them with ‘sudden impact for roses’ to keep them going.

Petunias, alyssum and lobelia can be planted now to get a good autumn show. It is also a good time to start preparing garden beds for winter planting, by mixing the soil with a slow release fertiliser and gypsum. Winter flowering plants include pansies, sweet peas, foxgloves and larkspur, just to name a few.

If you have a vegetable garden, then towards the end of March is the ideal time to prepare a section of the garden so it is ready for your winter vegetables, such as cauliflower, broccoli, onions, peas, cabbage etc.

Chaplaincy

Our student leaders’ induction ceremony was the focus for week five. 2014 leaders are Dylan Brown and Mia Peters School Captains, with Mitch Tucker and Sheralee Wenham elected as the Vice Captains. The Prefect Group contains Zeke Morris, Isabella Grima, Bree Gordon, Sophie Mynick and Shaye-Lee Klein. Support Officers for 2014 include Andrew Evans, Joe Phelan, Cameron Hunt, Cody Cockburn and Dean Wenham. The Sport Captains are Dylan Brown and Isabella Grima (Cunningham) along with Dean Wenham and Shaye-Lee Klein (Leichhardt). Each group of leaders read their pledge in front of the students, staff, parents and family friends. Our special guests provided some well-chosen words to guide our aspiring leaders before presenting each group with their badges. Thank you to Senior Constable Alan, Business and Community Group Chairman Rick, P&C President Wade, Lions Club President Ivan and RSL President Darcy.

The Jandowae State School community has this year welcomed a new chaplain to their staff.

The Great Results Guarantee is being finalised this week. All schools across Queensland are designing strategies to support the concept that all students meet the National Benchmarks for literacy and numeracy or have an evidence based plan for students unable to meet the benchmarks.

All our school community are extremely busy adjusting lesson plans where needed to focus on providing the best opportunities for success for our children at Jandowae.

The year four class with Mrs Duncan, Mrs Mittelstadt and Mrs Hawton has been heavily involved with their sustainability project and are taking to the garden in preparation for growing winter crops for harvest and cooking. Active After School Community sport has commenced with basketball and soccer and the students appear to be having much fun. The school is participating in a P&C fund raiser on Friday March 7th with students participating in a walk-a-thon. The school choir presented their latest song at the leaders induction which was superb. The choir is entered into two eisteddfods this year.

In closing, our school positive behaviour support program (SWPBS) has commenced brilliantly in 2014. Recipients of rewards for reaching their first milestones will occur this week. Mrs Woollett and her team have done a great job. Each week the students are presented with a school core value which is then taught in more detail in a lesson. School wide signage is the next phase of SWPBS at Jandowae.

Former Chinchilla Christian School teacher, Matthew Stoner, commenced duties as the Jandowae State School chaplain at the beginning of the 2014 school year.

1.

Jandowae State School has been without a chaplain since the middle of 2012.

Following Matt’s appointment, the Local Chaplaincy Committee held an Annual General Meeting on Monday 24th February.

2.

The new LCC consists of: President Tim Baskerville, Vice President Ian Gall, Secretary Cheryl Hill, Treasurer Geoff Sullivan, Members IPP Vicki Sullivan, Heather Gall, Daph Polzin, Coral Brownhall, Jim Baskerville, Ruth Sargent, Tony Bartlett, Alan Conroy It is anticipated that the LCC will hold fundraising events throughout the year and will be seeking pledges of financial support to assist with the funding of the chaplaincy position.

3.

Should any member of the public wish to assist in these areas, either financially or in kind, please contact any of the committee members or the Jandowae State School office for further information.

Details of future chaplaincy events will be published in the next issue of the Jandowae Mill.

Rat Bait Toxicity Warning! The mice are everywhere, and where there are mice there is rat bait. This time of year we see a lot of inquisitive dogs coming into the clinic with rat bait toxicity from either eating straight bait, or from eating dead mice. Rat bait works by preventing blood from clotting which is fatal for rats and mice, but can also be fatal for your dog. Despite manufacturer claims that different rat baits are “safe for dogs�, they are not actually pet safe! If your dog is lethargic, having difficulty breathing, continually bleeding without clotting or bruising easily then your dog may be affected by rat bait and must be examined by a veterinarian immediately.

Health & Beauty

The Need for Sleep In last month’s magazine edition you may have learnt a thing or two about sugar and hopefully you have started on your journey of change. This month we are going to focus on another topic that can vastly affect your health, and that is sleep.

Firstly, lets test how well you are sleeping with a simple questionnaire. For more than two weeks have you…

• • • • • •

Had trouble getting to sleep?

Been sleeping for fewer hours than usual?

Had poor quality of sleep?

Been tossing and turning at night?

Been waking up regularly during the night?

Been feeling sleepy most of the day?

• • •

During the Day • • • •

If you answered yes to any of these then you are not alone. About 15% of Australians are estimated to suffer regular sleep difficulties and another 20% claim to suffer occasional problems sleeping. However, having a good night of sleep is important for maintaining good health. The body uses sleep to recharge from the day’s activities. In addition to this we need quality sleep which is not necessarily a long sleep. Lack of sleep or quality sleep can lead to irritability, lack of energy, poor concentration, fatigue, dizziness, slow reaction time, aches and pains, reduced immune function, decreased general well-being, hallucinations and increased risk of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Some common sleep problems and disorders include insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy and sleep apnoea.

Get up at the same time each morning.

Go outside into the fresh air Do some form of physical activity, like going for a walk.

•

Do not take naps.

If you are worrying about problems then make time to address them so that your mind is free of worry and thoughts at night.

Monitor your sleep hours and awake hours by using a diary.

Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea or energy drinks and at worst avoid consuming any caffeine after 4pm.

Exercise.

At Night • • • •

• •

Try to go to bed at the same time each night.

Use low light when getting ready for bed; this signals the brain to wind down.

Try to keep all electrical items out of your bedroom. Some studies have shown that electricity can interfere with brain activity during sleep.

If you have trouble getting to sleep then do a low energy and low stimulation activity before going to be such as reading or sewing. Avoid mobile phones or television as they cause too much stimulation.

Also listening to relaxing music can help clear your mind.

Ensure your bedroom is quiet, comfortable and dark.

Some tips to improve your sleep

Sleep Tight!

The Case for Probiotics At one stage or other you have probably heard the term probiotics, (from pro and biota, meaning “for life”), which are good bacteria provided through certain foods and health supplements. Lifestyle factors and antibiotics can upset the balance between good and bad bacteria in the digestive system.

We have had some great results using probiotics for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. For this we recommend a product called IBS support by ethical nutrients. It is kept in the fridge. People are even trying it for more severe illnesses such as Crohn’s disease.

I used to be a bit sceptical about the routine use of probiotics with antibiotics, but the evidence is now beginning to mount up. Various probiotic strains have been shown to prevent and treat antibiotic-induced diarrhoea. In one study, the incidence of diarrhoea was 35% and probiotic use decreased this to 12%. Also none of the probiotic treated patients had C.difficile, which is a more dangerous pathogen. Another study showed that while probiotics still helped return the gut flora to normal if taken after the course of antibiotics, they were more effective when taken during antibiotic treatment.

They have also been shown to reduce the incidence of traveller’s diarrhoea and diarrhoea in children and adults from diverse causes. They continued to be studied for a wide range of gastrointestinal problems.

As they are a naturally occurring thing, most people respond well to them, but we would be cautious in recommending them to people with weakened immune systems such as those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

Inner Health Plus is one of the most popular brands. It must be refrigerated, but contains a lactobacillus and bifidobacterium which are not affected by stomach acid. We use the capsules for adults, and it comes as a powder, Inner Health for kids, which can be mixed with water, juice, milk or food or even taken straight from the spoon. The dose is taken twice daily and spaced away from the antibiotic dose for those taking antibiotics, or once daily at other times. We also have a range which is shelf stable. You may think that ingesting the same bacteria in yoghurt would protect them, but probiotic capsules are 22 times stronger. We also have a range of shelf stable probiotics which are especially helpful for those with busy lives who aren’t always near a refrigerator.

So, next time you need antibiotics, you might want to think about adding a probiotic to set things right and avoid this all too common problem.

Interschool Phenomena In 1984 the first ever interschool Equestrian Competition was held in Brisbane with riders coming from various parts of the state. Now some thirty years on, we continue to have a large network with Regional, State and National events. Over the past 6 years the National Championships have been held annually in Melbourne, Sydney and Toowoomba. In 2013 Western Australia held the very first Interschool National Championships away from the eastern sea board in Brigadoon, Perth. In October this year the Western Downs Region had the following riders compete Sean Geraghty, Dominic Holtkamp, Hannah Portbury, Elise Crawford, and Emily, Tom, and Sarah Coggan. These riders had to qualify at regional and then state championships before receiving spots in the Queensland team.

1.

300 Athletes represented every state in Australia at the championships which ran from the 2nd to the 5th of October. The event was held at the State Equestrian Centre, located in the Swan Valley some thirty minutes from Perth. The Swan Valley is also home to over one-hundred wineries including Houghtons and Taylors. Rumour has it, many interschool parents did enjoy a session of wine tasting or two. At this time Western Australia was receiving one of its wettest years on record. The hospitality of this state was second to none and they were certainly out to make an impression.

Of the children that gained selection some decided to use pool horses, which always adds an element of difficulty and surprise not knowing your mount. Those that chose to use pool horse have made long lasting friendships with their WA Hosts. Others made the epic journey of 9000km’s to Western Australia and back. The twenty-two horses that made the journey faced a few hurdles with having to cross three state boarders and having to dump feed at four different check stations. However this journey was full of adventure and exciting tales that included:

2.

Sharing a camp site at Eucla with 300 Rebel bikies who were being escorted out of WA by forty undercover cops, playing the Nullarbor Links (the world’s longest golf course), seeing the Western Australian native wildflowers, checking out the super pit in Kalgoorlie and whale watching at the Head of the Bight. One family even managed to have a German countess make the trip back with them. Phillip Coggan described the trip “as an adventure of a lifetime and a must do trip for anyone that has not previously crossed the Nullarbor.”

On a whole the Western Downs Council collected six national titles across the disciplines of Show jumping, Dressage and Combined Training. An amazing effort from these seven riders given the distance that many of them live from regular coaching. After speaking with Theresa Geraghty who coaches brother Sean she said “The interschool national championships have taken us all over Australia to places that I never thought I would go, I just wish that I had known about it when I was school”.

3.

The interschool competition season runs from July to the following July this year the regional championships will be held in Dalby on the 10-12 of May, and all new competitors would be greatly received.

Rates Notices Western Downs ratepayers can save 10 per cent on their rates by paying their bill on or before Wednesday 26 March.

Spokesperson for Corporate Support, Councillor Ian Rasmussen said residents will be receiving their rates notices in the mail this week and are encouraged to take advantage of the several convenient payment methods and discount on offer.

"The half-yearly rate notices for the period 1 January to 30 June 2014 have now been issued and if ratepayers pay their accounts in full, on or before 26 March, they will receive a 10 per cent discount," he said.

"Council offers a number of easy and convenient methods to help with payment, including electronic payments. But please be mindful that rates notices are separate to the water notices that were recently issued. This means there are different biller codes, so if you're paying electronically be sure to refer to the front of your rates notice to use the correct details.

"If however customers feel they might have difficulty paying on time, they can simply contact our Customer Contact Centre before 26 March for help in arranging an instalment plan."

Cr Rasmussen said residents are also reminded that this is the first rates notice on which they'll see the new State Emergency Management Fire and Rescue (EMFR) Levy.

"In July 2013 the State's Urban Fire Levy was reformed and expanded to the Emergency Management Fire and Rescue Levy to ensure a more sustainable funding base for all emergency services," he said.

"As of 1 January this year, Council became a collection agency for this new State Emergency Management Fire and Rescue Levy and this will be the first rates notice that you'll see this additional levy listed. Please note that the early payment discount offer does not apply to this levy."

Ratepayers who have any general questions about their rates notice should contact the Council on 1300 COUNCIL, visit the website www. wdrc.qld.gov.au, or email info@wdrc.qld.gov.au.

Ratepayers who have questions about the EMFR Levy should refer to the information flyer included with their rates notices or read the fact sheet on Council's website www.wdrc.qld.gov.au.

If ratepayers need more information or assistance in relation to the EMFR Levy, please contact the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service on 13 QGOV (13 74 68) or visit their website www.fire.qld.gov.au.
