Peacehaven revamp in time for carnival 

The upgraded Peacehaven Botanic 

Park at Highfields has opened just in 

time for the 68th annual Toowoomba 

Carnival of Flowers. 

At the official opening of the improved 

4.7 hectare park, Minister 

for Local Government Mark Furner 

said the Palaszczuk Government was 

proud to help fund the upgrade. 

“A grant of almost $313,000 was 

provided for the project, which employed 

15 people from the design 

phase to completion of construction,” 

Mr Furner said. 

“This is another example of the 

great work being done by the Palaszczuk 

Government to provide employment 

for people in regional centres 

throughout Queensland. 

“Since we were elected, 94,500 

jobs have been created, the equivalent 

of 100 new jobs every day since 

January 2015.” 

Mr Furner said the investment in 

the Peacehaven Botanic Park enhanced 

Toowoomba’s image as the 

Garden City. 

“This upgrade offers great benefits 

for locals, who can come here all year 

round, as well as tourists visiting the 

area,” Mr Furner said. 

“What makes this park special is 

the nature play area and sensory garden, 

the wide paths that ensure it is 

accessible for people of all ages and 

This is prostate cancer awareness month 

One in five Queensland men 

will be diagnosed with prostate 

cancer by the age of 85. 

Our dads, brothers, grandfathers, 

partners and friends are at 

risk. 

Prostate cancer is the leading 

cause of cancer among men in 

Queensland, with around 4000 

men diagnosed each year on average. 

September is Prostate Cancer 

Awareness Month and we’re 

urging men to help raise awareness 

of the disease and better understand 

their risk to help detect 

it early. 

While five-year survival rates 

for prostate cancer are drastically 

improving and are at 94 per 

cent, up from 64 per cent in the 

1980s, there’s still no time for 

complacency. 

The cause of prostate cancer 

is still not clear, and in the early 

stages, prostate cancer often 

doesn’t produce any symptoms. 

However, we do know that the 

risk of prostate cancer rises with 

age and occurs mainly in men 

abilities, and the lawns which will be 

a great place for people to gather.” 

Toowoomba Regional Council 

Deputy Mayor Carol Taylor said the 

Peacehaven Botanic Park upgrade 

includes unique botanic referenced 

play-art with elements designed and 

constructed taking inspiration from 

the local environment. 

“The park’s upgrade makes this 

piece of open-space an even greater 

asset for the Highfields and broader 

Toowoomba Regional community,” 

Cr Taylor said. 

“The Council is grateful to the 

State Government for its contribution, 

ever conscious of the generosity 

of benefactor Stan Kuhl, and delighted 

by the vision and hard work of the 

Friends of Peacehaven Botanic Park. 

“I expect this significant park will 

become ever more popular as a location 

for weddings and community 

events with the new accessible nature 

play area, backdrop of the beautiful 

lake and views out to the Bunya 

Mountains.” 

Mr Furner said he was pleased the 

Local Government Grant and Subsidies 

Program was used to support 

such a worthwhile project to help 

boost jobs for regional Queensland 

and support the Toowoomba Regional 

Council to build local communities. 

over 60 years. 

Men with a family history 

also have an increased risk of 

developing the disease. 

It’s crucial that men understand 

their risk and let their GP 

know if they have a family history 

to receive the right advice 

on the pros and cons of prostate 

cancer testing. 

Unfortunately, there is currently 

no single, simple test to 

detect prostate cancer. 

The test most commonly used 

to aid early detection of prostate 

cancer is the prostate specific 

antigen (PSA) blood test but 

this test does not always reliably 

identify the presence of prostate 

cancer, or distinguish potentially 

fatal cancers from benign tumours. 

We recommend men speak 

with their GP about what is right 

for them, especially if they notice 

body changes including 

difficulty or pain in passing 

urine, or blood in urine, and 

any of these symptoms combined 

with pain in the lower 

back, upper thighs or pelvic region. 

If men have questions or 

concerns about prostate cancer, 

they should visit their GP or call 

Cancer Council’s 13 11 20 to access 

information or confidential

CROWS NEST POLICE REPORT with Sgt GREG DAWES 

Home security warning 

CRIME: August 30 - An 

unknown offender attempted 

to gain entry into a property on 

John Street, Crows Nest by removing 

louvres at the rear of the 

residence. No entry was gained. 

What is concerning is that the 

occupants of the address were 

home at the time, so I implore 

everyone to ensure their houses 

are locked at all times, even if 

you are inside. 

Between August 30 and September 

1, police attended a 

property on Anduramba Road, 

Crows Nest where an alleged 

quantity of stolen property was 

located. The male offender, 28, 

was charged with four counts of 

stealing, four counts of receiving 

tainted property, two counts 

of possessing tainted property, 

one count of authority required 

to possess explosives and one 

count of disqualified driving. 

The offender was charged 

through the Toowoomba Watchhouse 

and will be appearing before 

the Toowoomba Magistrates 

Court on September 27. 

Between August 31 and September 

7, unknown offenders 

gained entry into the Crows Nest 

Swimming Pool complex on 

Curnow Street, Crows Nest. The 

offenders damaged a water pump 

on the property before leaving 

the scene. 

On September 7, a male 52, 

was caught stealing items from 

a property of the New England 

Highway, Crows Nest. The offender 

was issued a Notice to 

Appear for an offence of enter 

premises an commit an indictable 

offence, and will be appearing 

before the Toowoomba Magistrates 

Court on October 26. 

TRAFFIC: September 2 

- A silver Mazda utility was intercepted 

on the New England 

Highway, Crows Nest. Checks 

conducted revealed that the vehicle 

was both unregistered and 

uninsured. The male driver, 58, 

was issued with traffic infringement 

notices for the offences. 

There were 23 traffic infringement 

notices issued in the division 

for the past fortnight. 

Women encouraged to get out and get active 

Women and girls of all ages 

are being encouraged to get out 

and get active with Toowoomba 

Regional Council’s new Thrive 

project. 

To coincide with Women’s 

Health Week, more than 200 

free and low-cost activities are 

being made available from September 

through to May 2018 for 

women and girls living in the 

Toowoomba Region. 

Deputy Mayor Carol Taylor 

said the initiative was about empowering 

women to have a go 

at a range of fitness and outdoor 

recreation activities they may 

not have tried before. 

“Research tells us more than 

40 per cent of adult women in 

Queensland are not achieving 

the recommended 30 minutes 

of moderate physical activity on 

most days of the week,” she said. 

“TRC secured additional funding 

from the State Government 

to provide more than 200 free or 

low-cost options for women and 

girls of all ages to get active. 

“Toowoomba Regional Council 

worked with the Queensland 

Government to secure more than 

$35,000 from the Government’s 

Get Out, Get Active grant to provide 

various fitness and outdoor 

recreation programs specifically 

christian comment 

The value of a $300 dollar egg 

A little while ago I decided that it would be 

good for the kids and I if we had our own chooks. 

Our first egg arrived and I have just calculated 

the cost: One chook pen @ $148 plus freight 

- $200, three chooks @ 1$6.50 each - $49.50, one 

bag of mash - $18, one watering dish - $25. Total 

cost $292.50 

Result to date - one egg 

It will take a long time to recoup the investment 

made in our chooks. Most of my friends who have 

chooks have said that keeping them is a lifestyle 

not a financial decision. 

For me investing in our chooks is about the long 

term benefits. Three chooks at three eggs a day = 

21 eggs a week. Optimistically. that’s a bit less 

than $10 return a week and that’s assuming they 

lay consistently each day. At that rate, it will take 

me almost a year to repay my initial investment 

and it is likely that it will take much longer. 

for women and girls across the 

Toowoomba region,” Deputy 

Mayor Cr Taylor said. 

The female-only classes 

include yoga, hula hooping, 

mindful walks, Zumba, Konga, 

kickboxing and strength classes, 

along with a range of outdoor 

recreation opportunities including 

bushwalking, mountain biking, 

kayaking and archery tag. 

TRC will be offering new 

Women on Wheels workshops 

to provide women with a comfortable 

park environment where 

they can build their knowledge, 

skills, and confidence to ride 

more,” Crr Taylor said. 

Children will also be encouraged 

to get active by chasing 

kittens, dragons, fairies, dinosaurs 

and aliens at Magical Park 

digital fantasy lands across the 

region during school holidays. 

Minister for Sport Mick de 

I know my investment in spending time with the 

kids and them learning about how to care for animals 

is priceless. 

Although the initial financial cost may be high, 

there will be ongoing rewards. I think $300 might 

end up looking quite cheap. 

There is a passage from James one of the NT 

writers that reminds us of the power of something 

small. But, our words can have an enormous influence 

on people’s lives and if chosen wisely can 

open up possibilities that we may never have expected. 

- James 3:4,5 (J B Phillips) 

Ships too, for all their size and the momentum 

they have with a strong wind behind them, 

are controlled by a very small rudder according 

to the course chosen by the helmsman. The human 

tongue is physically small, but what tremendous 

effects it can boast. - Pastor Chris Gribble, 

Church of Christ. 

Brenni believes this initiative 

will help break down 

barriers preventing females 

from becoming active. 

“This funding is the largest 

of its kind in Queensland 

and will provide the strongest 

launch pad for women 

and girls to foster life-long 

participation in sport and active 

recreation,” Minister de 

Brenni said.

HIGH COUNTRY HERALD, SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 - 5

Merle Schilf celebrates her 90th birthday 

An open house was held at Trinity 

Lutheran Church Hall on August 27 

to celebrate the 90th birthday of Merle 

Schilf who is a resident of Salem 

Lutheran Aged Care Facility. 

Merle was joined by her five children, 

their spouses, several of her 

grandchildren and great grandchildren 

for the occasion along with her 

only brother Desmond, her sister-inlaw 

Myrna and many of her nieces 

and nephews, cousins and family 

friends. 

Merle was born at the family home 

‘Cattle Gully’ Quinalow on August 

16, 1927, fourth child to Christi and 

Rhoda Kanowski. 

She attended the local school at 

Quinalow until grade seven and then 

helped out on the family farm. 

She married Kevin Schilf who was 

employed at the Maclagan Butchery 

in Aril 1948. 

After many moves around 

Queensland operating various butcheries, 

the family once again settled 

in Maclagan in 1972 and re-opened 

the Maclagan Butchery which is still 

being operated by members of the 

Schilf family today. 

Merle looks forward to having

LADIES DAY 

Please join us 

Friday, October 13th, 2017 

for a wonderiul day of food, fashion, inspirational 

speakers and friendship at the beautiful 

Walking among Granite Belt wild flowers 

For those of us who grew up 

in South-East Queensland with 

extended families living on the 

Downs, as well as the Sunshine 

Coast, gathering wildflowers in 

the August school holidays was 

always a vacation pastime. 

Fields of small flowers including 

boronias, wattles, heaths, 

pea flowers of various colours, 

hops bushes and hibbertias were 

examined in detail as we walked 

through the local bush. 

Over the years many of the 

boronias, ground orchids and 

tea trees disappeared nearer the 

coast due to increased population 

and urban development. 

Some of these I have seen 

in the local area around Crows 

Nest during better weather conditions. 

Volunteers of the Stanthorpe 

Wild Flower Consortium, a wonder 

group, show and promote 

awareness of the importance of 

improving and maintaining wild 

GARDEN CLUB 

flower eco systems in their own 

area. It was a delight to join them 

and see so many of the flowers 

not seen for many years growing 

in the granite boulders. 

In small pockets of bushland 

around the Crows Nest area 

unique wild flowers and trees 

GRANITE BORONIA 

Preserving eco systems 

can still be found but need to be 

identified and promoted more, 

hopefully bringing more visitors 

to enjoy our own local areas like 

the Valley of Diamonds, Crows 

Nest falls and Applegum walk. - 

Robyn Jones, secretary, Crows 

Nest Garden Club.

Celebrating 20 years 

in the community 

Advertising Feature 

High Country Herald is a newspaper with a heritage 

By MILES NOLLER 

Media nerds might suggest that the future for news is 

with the internet, social media and web sites. But the owners 

of the business, Neil and Ann Lomas, are so enthused 

about their newspaper, that they are planning a celebration 

of their 20 years of proprietorship. 

At a time when global giants Google and Facebook are 

said to be taking billions of dollars of advertising revenue 

each year from the established Australian media, High 

Country Herald grows its advertising each year along 

with its circulation reach across the northern part of the 

Toowoomba Region. 

Twenty years ago, Neil and Ann purchased the Crows 

Nest based newspaper The New Advertiser. It was an eight 

page, black and white paper that was published fortnightly. 

Highfields was then serviced by a small newsletter, 

Highfields Neighbours, which Neil and Ann bought and 

changed the name to Highfields Herald. 

The Crows Nest paper’s name was also changed, to 

Crows Nest Advertiser, harking back to 1905 when the 

first Crows Nest Advertiser was published. Along the 

way, when owned by Gatton interests, the local paper was 

known as the East West Advertiser (east for Gatton and 

west for Crows Nest.) 

In 2010 Neil and Ann, pictured, moved their newspaper 

office from Crows Nest to Highfields, and in January, 2012, 

the first edition of High Country News, merging the Crows 

Nest and Highfields publications, was published. 

In 2014 they renamed the paper High Country Herald. 

Throughout these years, circulation has expanded annually, 

from just hundreds with the Crows Nest Advertiser, to 

more than 12,000 now, as people in both rural and city areas 

learn about the free paper their neighbours are reading, 

and request that distribution be expanded to include their 

mail boxes also. 

The circulation area now extends house-to-house from 

North Toowoomba, west to Bowenville, and north to Maclagan 

at the base of the Bunya Mountains, and Cooyar, 

Crows Nest and Ravensbourne. 

Additionally, 500 households receive their paper via 

email, and another 350 or so are collected by readers at the 

Toowoomba shopping centres, Northpoint, K Mart Plaza, 

Wilsonton, High Street Plaza, and Clifford Gardens. More 

that 800 copies are distributed in Oakey and 620 at Kingsthorpe. 

Around 400 are distributed to Oakey Post Office 

boxes, businesses and the western mail run. 

Circulation is officially audited at the of March and September 

each year. 

There are trade businesses who have advertised for 20 

years and continue to do so and many readers like to read 

the local news in hard copy, even though it is available on 

email. 

Regardless of how the news is presented though, electronically 

or on paper, the biggest attraction is content, 

and an 80th birthday party report can be as popular as a 

statement from the Mayor or construction work on a road 

through the range. 

A section on farming is widely read as are reports on 

meetings protesting plans considered not in the best interests 

of the community. 

High Country Herald has taken to the air to farewell 

Army Blackhawk helicopters, viewed the Crows Nest 

Show from above, and attended functions, meeting people, 

and listening to local opinions, ensuring people have their 

views expressed publically. 

High Country Herald thrives on its community of interest 

which community appreciates because it gets a say. 

The paper has also contributed to the community in other 

ways, such as the running of a community dinner in Crows 

Nest each year. Its first dinner attracted 110 people, and 

continued for ten years increasing each year until 385 people 

attended when the event had to be held in a marquee in 

Centenary Park when the new hall was being constructed. 

The paper also instigated the Crows Nest markets which, 

once established, were handed over to the Lions Club. 

The 20th anniversary celebrations are to be held at 

Peacehaven Park in Highfields this Sunday, September 24, 

from 11.30am to 3pm. There will be a sausage sizzle and 

music by the Hobsons. All are invited.

Little Ada Volz enjoy a quiet biscuit at the Under Eights morning at Kulpi State School. 

Children enjoyed the challenge of an old fashioned 

hay bale maze at the Under Eights morning, 

Kulpi State School. 

Kulpi State School always rings with children’s 

laughter however there were plenty of additional 

voices when it recently hosted an Under Eight’s 

morning for local schools. 

More than one hundred students aged under 

eight came with parents and staff from the Kaimkillenbun, 

Quinalow, and Jondaryan schools, as 

well as special tiny visitors from Maclagan Kindy. 

Principal Rosita Lever said local schools all 

contributed to the cluster by hosting sporting 

events throughout the year, and that Kulpi wanted 

to contribute too. 

“Under Eights activities celebrate the special 

qualities of young children and their delight in 

learning through play,” she said. 

“We were thrilled with the support from schools 

with everyone participating enthusiastically.” 

There were many traditional activities for children, 

including face painting, bubbles and painting, 

however Kulpi staff organised some special 

surprises too. 

A hay bale maze was constructed with the help 

of local farmer Jono Biggar, and 115 bales provided 

a challenge for the children to work their way 

through. 

Mrs Lever said that because of the success of the 

day that she planned to make it an annual event..

Mt Binga endurance ride 

Toowoomba Endurance Horse Riders Association 

has received sponsorship from Hutchinson Builders 

for their upcoming endurance ride at Mt Binga State 

Forest on October 7 and 8. 

Mr Rob Weymouth, Hutchinson Builders, said: 

“This year marks the 105th anniversary for Hutchinson 

Builders. 

"We consider ourselves a strong and enduring 

company, so to partner with a local sporting club to 

sponsor an event that is about endurance, resilience 

and strong partnerships, is a good match for us,” Mr 

Weymouth said. 

The endurance event will see horse and rider combinations 

compete in ride distances up to 80km over 

the weekend. 

Ken Gordon TEHRA president said, “We will be 

holding a 20km and a 40km ride on Saturday and a 

40km and 80km ride on Sunday. 

Endurance is a great family sport, we expect 

up to 180 riders over the weekend, varying in 

age from five right through to people in their 70s. 

"We are a not-for-profit sporting group that runs entirely 

on volunteers. 

"We are extremely grateful to our ride sponsor Hutchinson 

Builders, without whose assistance our event 

would not be possible.” 

TEHRA is seeking volunteers who are interested in 

endurance horse riding to assist with the running of 

the ride, and always welcomes new club members. 

The club rides socially in the Toowoomba region as 

well as at endurance events and consists of long term 

endurance riders and new members who are learning 

the ropes. 

As strict biosecurity measures will be in place, all 

ride nominations must be made in advance. 

Additional ride details can be found on the club’s 

Facebook page, or contact Ken Gordon TEHRA president,

Reforms to regional media policy 

Member for Groom Dr John 

McVeigh has supported measures 

announced to support regional and 

small publishers and create local 

jobs. 

The new measures, which are in 

addition to the Government’s media 

reform package, and subject to 

its passage through the Parliament, 

include: 

• A $50 million Regional and 

Small Publishers Innovation fund 

• A Regional and Small Publishers 

cadetship program to support 

200 cadetships ($8 million) and 

• Sixty regional journalism 

scholarships ($2.4 million over 

three years) 

The fund could allocate grants 

to programs and initiatives such 

as purchasing or upgrading equipment, 

software, training, development 

of apps and business 

activities to drive revenue and 

readership, all of which would 

help small regional publishers to 

expand their businesses and create 

more jobs. 

Funding grants will be capped 

at a maximum of $1 million a year 

for any media group. 

At least two-thirds of funding 

must go to regional publishers 

and not less than 25 per cent for 

non-regional publishers. 

Dr McVeigh said he had received 

representations from two 

local publishers in recent months 

in the lead up to the media reforms 

debate in Parliament. 

“They had some concerns about 

potential changes to the media 

landscape and how it would affect 

their business model,” Dr 

McVeigh said. 

“I recognise those concerns 

and I also value the service they 

provide to the smaller, regional 

communities around the region. 

"They are vital parts of the local 

media landscape. These new measures 

will be a welcome support 

for regional media organisations 

which are facing new challenges 

in the digital age,” he said. 

“Assisting small publishers and 

regional newspapers to innovate 

in the digital media environment 

will go a long way to maintaining 

these organisations and create 

more local jobs. The cadetship 

program is another great initiative 

which will boost employment 

opportunities through funding for 

more cadets in the regions. 

This program, together with 

funding for 60 regional journalism 

scholarships, will give regional 

Australians the opportunity to access 

journalism training that they 

haven’t had before. 

“The reforms are vital for the 

future viability of Australian media 

organisations and local jobs. 

"It will unshackle the industry 

by freeing it from laws and regulations, 

which date back to the 

1980s before the internet existed.”

Men's Sheds - Building communities and fixing lives 

The Australian Men’s Shed Association 

has officially launched 2017 Men’s Shed 

Week in partnership with the Bipartisan 

Friendship Group of Men’s Sheds at Parliament 

House. 

“Men’s Sheds aren’t just about building 

toys and fixing furniture. Men’s Sheds are 

building communities and fixing lives,” 

Australian Men’s Shed Association Executive 

Officer David Helmers said at the 

launch. 

The second annual Men’s Shed Week, 

themed doing local good, will be celebrated 

from Monday, September 25, to 

Sunday, October 1, to showcase the work 

of Men’s Sheds in contributing to local 

communities. 

“The benefits of Men’s Sheds extend 

well beyond the shed. Activities at the 

shed support local people, groups and organisations 

and bring people together in 

ways that strengthen communities,” Mr 

Helmers said. 

At the shed, men have the opportunity 

to find friendship, a sense of purpose and 

a place to belong and contribute. 

Many men live fuller and happier lives 

through their involvement with their shed. 

But it doesn’t stop there. 

Shedders devote most of their time to 

worthwhile community endeavours - delivering 

great benefits for the wider community 

through major projects, donating 

arts and crafts, participating in community 

events, and actively promoting men’s 

health and wellbeing. 

“The Australian Men’s Shed Association 

has been at the forefront of Men’s 

Shed innovations for a decade, and in that 

time we have seen the Men’s Sheds flourish 

across the world,” Mr Helmers said. 

The strength of the Men’s Shed concept 

is in its simplicity and adaptability to 

members’ and community needs, Bipartisan 

Friendship Group of Men’s Sheds 

Chair the Hon Mark Coulton MP when he 

officially opened Men’s Shed Week. 

“When it comes down to it, Men’s 

Sheds have become a vital investment 

because every community benefits when 

there’s a Men’s Shed in town,” Mr Helmers 

said. 

Visit mensshed.org to learn more about 

Men’s Shed Week and find your local 

shed. 

A Men’s Shed plays an important role 

in the prevention of social isolation and 

the promotion of positive health and wellbeing 

amongst men, as well as enabling 

men to positively (re)connect with their 

community. 

The Australian Men’s Shed Association 

is the peak national body representing 

Men’s Sheds in Australia. 

The Association acts to promote and 

develop the Men’s Shed movement delivering 

practical support, specialised services 

for the establishment and ongoing 

management of sheds, and targeted male 

health and wellbeing initiatives in order to 

provide Australian men with the opportunity 

to improve their health and wellbeing 

through participation in the Men’s Shed 

movement. - David Helmers, Executive

Farmers question market failures 

By MILES NOLLER 

Biosecurity workshops 

The QDO will hold biosecurity workshops to 

help dairy farmers comply with new Queensland 

biosecurity laws. Farmers will be helped to develop 

a farm biosecurity plan and will be offered 

a free Bovine Johnes Disease test. There will be 

nine QDO workshops around Queensland, including 

Toowoomba on October 4, Kingaroy on October 

3, and Gatton on October 5. 

• Rugby League legend Shane Webcke, with 

Harrisville dairy farmers, David Roderick, left, 

and Duncan and Mary McInnes. Shane Webcke 

addressed the QDO forum about workplace 

safety and the effects of the death of his 

father in a workplace accident. 

Dairy farmers asked 

many questions at the 

annual meeting of the 

Queensland Dairyfarmers 

Organisation in 

Toowoomba. But few, 

if any, got answers they 

would consider satisfactory. 

Key people the farmers 

had come to hear 

were Mick Keogh, head 

of the ACCC Dairy 

Inquiry, and Senator 

Chris Ketter, the Chair 

of the Senate Economics 

Committee which 

has been inquiring into 

the dairy industry. 

But generally, they 

did not have the answers 

for the industry, 

with farmer statements 

saying the industry was 

losing farmers at a fast 

rate, that farmers were 

paid 59 cents a litre for 

their milk in 1999, and 

were now paid 57 cents 

a litre. 

In 1999 both sides of 

government decided to 

deregulate the industry, 

which allowed supermarkets 

some years 

ago to sell milk for $1 

a litre, which continues 

to rile farmers. 

QDO Chairman Brian 

Tessmann thanked 

Senator Ketter for diligently 

taking some 

pointed questions from 

the meeting, and said he 

was encouraged to hear 

that Senator Ketter supported 

making the code 

of conduct mandatory.

This code of conduct 

has emerged from 

inquiries following the 

Murray Goulburn issues 

where farmers were retrospectively 

had their 

milk payments reduced. 

Senator Ketter is

Queensland. 

Mr Tessmann said 

dairy farmers were 

Ches Priebbenow, dairy farmer from Greenmount; Peter Cavanagh, 

dairy farmer from Goomburra Valley; and Senator Chris Ketter, ALP 

Senator for Queensland and chair of the Senate Economics References 

Committee which reported on an inquiry into the dairy industry.

rightfully frustrated 

and increasingly impatient 

with what government 

and industry were 

doing to deliver real 

market changes needed 

to fix current failures. 

He said he was concerned 

to hear that 

Mick Keogh now 

doubts that most dairy 

farmers would be covered 

by the new unfair 

contact protection extension 

despite his earlier 

public assurances. 

Mr Tessmann said he 

was also concerned that 

the recently introduced 

Effects Test in marketing 

matters, could 

be applied in a different 

way in the supply 

chain. The Effects 

Test changes the onus 

of proof in proving 

market manipulation, 

from proving intent to 

showing the effects of 

an action.

GOLF 

Lady golfers in pyjamas 

The Cabarlah Golf Club Monday Ladies Social 

Golf Group celebrated National Pyjama Day by 

playing golf in their pyjamas. They were raising 

funds and awareness for The Pyjama Foundation. 

The foundation supports children in foster care by 

providing a learning-based mentoring program free of 

charge. Their aim is to offer the children the opportunity 

to change the direction of their life through learning, 

life skills and confidence and to also improve their 

educational outcome through reading. Volunteers are 

trained in the "Love of Learning Program" and visit 

foster children on a weekly basis. The volunteers are 

known as "Pyjama Angels". They spend time with a 

child reading, helping with homework, and sometimes 

just chatting and listening. A "Pyjama Angel" makes a 

foster child feel special. 

The golfers had an enjoyable morning on the 

course, and then enjoyed lunch in the Cabarlah 

Golf Course Clubhouse. Organiser, Carmel Lyall, a 

Pyjama Angel for 4 years, was well supported in her 

endeavour to raise awareness of the Foundation. 

"Everyone was so generous not only by raising 

funds, but also donating pyjamas, books, sporting 

equipment, toys and toiletries which will be shared 

among the children in our local area who are in 

foster care. The funds raised go towards training 

more volunteers because every child in foster care 

deserves a Pyjama Angel" she said. Carmel thanked 

everyone who joined in the fun of the day, and to the

Anyone interested in joining Monday ladies social 

golf is welcome. "We are a group of ladies learning to 

play golf, and having lots of fun doing it," Carmel says. 

"Some ladies have gone on to play in competition golf, 

but don't be deterred if you've never played, come 

along and try it out. We are a friendly, fun social group 

who enjoy learning a new skill and have a laugh while 

we're at it. We enjoy social outings, playing golf and 

trips away. It's a nice way to start the week with a few 

hours out on the golf course on a Monday morning." If
