Mary MacKillop celebrates

first Year 12 graduation

The graduating cohort of Mary MacKillop

Catholic College in Highfields celebrated their

final day at school on Friday, being the first students

to pave the way for the future graduands.

Seven students who formed the graduating

group are Grace Kaiser, Josh Brooks, Daniel

Verches, Caitlin Lang, Nadia Eastaugh, Connor

McKerrow and Holly Hutchison was honoured as

the school’s first Year 12 graduates.

Not only the first students to graduate, they

were the first group to undertake the ATAR and

external exams in Queensland, and also had their

studies interrupted by the lockdown earlier in the

year.

The school held a graduation mass and a guard

of honour for the inaugural celebration.

The 2020 graduating students were also some

of the first students to step into the school’s senior

campus in 2016.

Mary MacKillop Catholic College Year 12

graduate Holly Hutchison was the first student to

complete her entire education from Prep to Year

12 at the school.

She recalled her early years in the junior school

with a small number of classrooms, a library and

an open assembly hall.

“It has been such a huge journey and it is such

an achievement to finish Year 12,” Holly said.

“We are a very small cohort and we are all very

tight knit.

“It has been a great experience because not

many children get to experience being in a small

grade and get one-on-one with teachers that we

were able to experience, which are opportunities

larger grades don’t get.

“This year has been really tough for a lot of

people, just getting through it has been a huge

relief.”

Mary MacKillop Catholic College assistant

principal of teaching and learning Kris Naiker

said the school’s faculty were thrilled to not only

celebrate their graduation, but were confident in

knowing that each one of them would continue to

thrive, grow and lead courageously in their fields.

Bushfire ready

With hot and dry conditions, the risk of bushfire

increases. Ensure you’re ready by taking some easy

steps like cleaning gutters and downpipes, trimming

greenery, cleaning up any bushfire fuel around the

home and having your exit action plan in place.

For more information on being bushfire ready, visit

www.tr.qld.gov.au/beprepared Stay up-to-date with

bushfire alerts by following the QFES Facebook Page.

Cooby Dam closed

Cooby Dam remains closed for all boating, fishing and

picnic activities. Each week we conduct water testing to

ensure it meets safety standards for recreational activity

(direct contact without water treatment). Enterococci

toxins are currently at 105 CFU per 100mL, and this

200

needs to be under 35 CFU per 100mL. We’re hopeful

this will improve and allow for

Assisted living project - community comments

Crows Nest Community Solutions

unveiled the initial plans

for the proposed Chaseley Park

Assisted Living Project at a public

meeting held at the Crows

Nest Community and RSL Hall

last Tuesday night.

The Chaseley Park Assisted

Living Project is an eight stage

development project for a supported

living facility to cater for

a variety of people in need of

assistance to enable them to continue

living in the town close by

to family and friends they know.

When the Crows Nest Shire

Council purchased the land in

2001 from the Crows Nest and

District Co-operative Hospital

Society, the original plan was to

establish a 55 years and over retirement

village.

Since then, four housing commission

dwellings and three

freehold properties have been

built on the site.

In an overview of the project,


chairman Baden Brown

said the Crows Nest community

had an ageing population with

almost a quarter of the town’s

residents 65 or over in 2016.

“This is significantly higher

than the Toowoomba Region at

17.8 per cent and the Queensland

figure of 15.3 per cent,” he said.

“Over the past 15 years, the

Crows Nest community recorded

an increase in persons aged

55 to 64 and declines of younger

people in the community. This

trend is reflected in the average

age of the community increasing

from 38.9 years in 2001 to 44.2

years in 2016.”

Mr Brown said Queensland

Government statistics predicted

the population of 65 and older

in Crows Nest to increase from

2122 persons in 2016 to 3169 in

2036.

“Based on that data, the need

for housing to accommodate

older persons as well as younger

people requiring assistance is

projected to increase,” he said.

Mr Brown said CNCS had

chosen Your Home Care to partner

with to provide the assisted

living care associated with the

project.

Several attendees, many living

within or close to Chaseley

Park, voiced their concerns and

queries ranging from the change

to the original intention for use

of the land, parking, environmental

impact and threat of

bushfires.

Nearby resident Jenny Mitchellmore

expressed her wishes for

the company to change its plans

for the project’s carpark.

“The plans have carparks two

metres away from my bedroom

window and I object. I would

like to see a living barrier of

native trees between the houses

of Olsen Drive and the facility,”

she said.

One of the objections to the

change of use for the property

came from Chaseley Park resident

Barbara Weier, owner of

one of the freehold properties.

Mrs Weier said when she

bought her block of land seventeen

years ago, it was designated

as over 55 retirement living and

she said she purchased her land

for $25,000 which she considers

was at the market value at the

time.

Creek Street resident Marie

Kruger also objected to the

change of use for the land.

“There are other sites this

facility could be built on,” she

said.

“I think the end of Creek

Street should be left as part of

the Dingo Mountain Environmental

Park access and day picnic

area which would promote

tourism and economic benefit

for the community.”

In response to the concern

about the change to the original

intention for the land, Mr Brown

said times have changed in the

past 20 years as have the needs

of the community.

“We are living in a different

era and these new plans are proposed

to cater for the population

of today and future generations,”

he said.


board member, and former

long-term president of the

Crows Nest Tourist and Progress

Association, Jeff Close said he

was excited about the opportunity

for the growth of business that

the project could bring.

Another nearby resident, Tammy

King, said the Crows Nest

Community Solutions board

and the Crows Nest community

needed to be 100 per cent certain

about the project’s location.

Mrs King quoted from a letter

of support for the project from

Crows Nest Landcare Group.

“One of the points the Landcare

group mentioned in their

letter is that the opportunity to

purchase these blocks of land

collectively will never again be

available should the blocks be

sold individually and this natural

asset needs to be preserved for

the future.

“The board of Crows Nest

Community Solutions and the

community need to be 100 per

cent certain the location for this

development is the right one.

I feel it would be a great loss

to this community and, as also

commented in the Landcare let-

ter, decisions cannot be reversed

- once it’s gone, it’s gone,” Mrs

King said.

Toowoomba Regional Council

Planning and Development

Committee portfolio leader Cr

Bill Cahill told the meeting

Crows Nest was very fortunate

to have the backing of an organisation

like Crows Nest Community

Solutions that was interested

in doing something for their

town more than talking.

He encouraged the community

to give their support and feedback

on the project.

“Assisted housing is not the

remit of local government. Back

in the days when I was on the

Crows Nest Council, local government

did what they could to

support their communities and

they stepped in to fill the gaps.

“Over the years though, circumstances

have changed a

lot and it is extremely different

now,” Cr Cahill said.

“As we have heard, this community

has one of the highest

ageing averages in the nation,

so we have to think where that

is going.

“This will likely be the first

meeting of many this group and

the community will go through

in working out a solution to suit

the needs of everyone involved.”

Leo Club member Sebastian

Pyers said he supported the development

project.

“From a younger person’s

view, I think this is remarkable.

the majority of Chaseley Park as

just a mowed patch that has done

nothing for many years, and now

the potential this project brings

to provide a much needed facility

and develop this town is very

exciting,” Mr Pyers said.

Mr Close said he was happy

with the response of the meeting.

“I can never be offended

when people are expressing

their thoughts and concerns

about their community because

it shows me that they care about

it,” Mr Close said.

Mr Brown, a former Crows

Nest Shire Councillor and president

of Crow Nest Tourist and

Progress Association when the

company Progressive Community

Crows Nest was formed to

support the establishment of the

Heritage Bank, said it was important

to realise this was just

a starting point in another very

worthy project for the district.

“Because we are a community

based company, we are prepared

to listen and compromise to a degree

and we welcome feedback

and suggestions that may come

from the community,” he said.

“This is a major undertaking

by Crows Nest Community

Solutions and it certainly will

not be simple or easy.

“If it was easy, everyone

would be doing it.

“The project will take time

and, in a concerted effort to

reach an acceptable outcome, the

process will not be rushed.”

Weir elevated to Opposition front bench

IF THE GOVERNMENT PROPOSES LEGISLATION THAT

BENEFITS QUEENSLAND, WE WILL SUPPORT IT

IF NOT - WE’LL OPPOSE IT

Member for Condamine Pat

Weir said he was certainly humbled

by the results of the recent

State election - and his appointment

to the Opposition front

bench.

Mr Weir retained his seat

in the 2020 Queensland State

Election securing 54.66 per cent

of the votes for the electorate,

which was nearly a 13 per cent

increase from the 2017 election.

“In 2017, the boundaries for

Condamine had changed which

was why there was a drop compared

to the 2015 election,” he

said.

On Sunday, November 15,

Liberal National Party Leader

David Crisafulli announced his

front bench with Mr Weir as the

Shadow Minister for Natural Resources,

Mines and Energy.

“This is the second term in the

new boundaries and I will still

be prosecuting the same issues

that I have been pursuing which

include the Westbrook High

School, more resources for local

law enforcement, approval of

New Acland Stage 3 and health,”

he said.

“Recently, we were able to get

another police car for the Oakey

Police Station but I am still chasing

another police officer for the

Cambooya station. Cambooya is

a large area for one police officer

to handle by themselves alone.

“And I will be calling on the

Picture contributed

State Government to immediately

approve the New Acland

Stage 3.”

Mr Weir said he was honoured

to be appointed to the Opposition’s

front bench and looked

forward to working with the other

local members.

“I look forward to working

with the new shadow ministry

with Member for Toowoomba

South David Janetzki as the LNP

Deputy Leader,” he said.

“David is a very talented individual

and will do well in

his position. I also look forward

to working with Member

for Toowoomba North Trevor

Watts, who has once again been

given the position of party whip.

Sydney-based app developers

Nick Esse and Patrick Ellul are

using the Groom by-election to

trial an app they have developed

called Ballot Box.

The app, free and independent,

is designed to help Australian

voters understand political

party policies and positions

during elections.

Mr Esse said the idea for the

app came about when he and Mr

Ellul reflected on that there was

no clear place or format for voters

to inform themselves of the

decision they had to make.

“Patrick and I are long standing

political enthusiasts. There is

no single place for where people

can find out what candidates represent

and their policies. We’re

not affiliated with any political

party or the government or the

“Trevor proved himself to be

a strong whip in the past when

he was in the role 2016 to 2017.”

Mr Weir said he was grateful

of the effort his staff and volunteers

had put in, in the lead-up to

the election.

“I can’t thank the staff and volunteers

enough. We all worked

hard to establish the trust of the

electorate,” he said.

“But we’ll keep moving forward

to keep the pressure on the

government. If the government

proposes legislation that will

benefit Queensland, we will support

it.

“But if we see that it doesn’t,

we will oppose it. That is the role

of the opposition.”

electoral commission. It seems

like a problem that should have

been solved by now.”

They trialled the app for the

seat of Maiwar at the recent State

election, with more than 800 voters

using the app.

“We thought we would have

a bit of resistance coming from

the incumbent, Michael Berkman,

but he supported the app,”

he said.

Statements in the app are supplied

by the candidates and are

published without editing. Users

remain completely anonymous,

only being asked to supply basic

demographic information.

Mr Esse said after the Groom

by-election trial, the next step

would be to secure outside funding

to continue the development

of the app.

“We would like to see the app

used for elections at all levels,

including local government elections,”

he said.

“Ballot Box will continue to

be enhanced based on users feedback

and is planned for a wider

rollout in the 2022 Federal election,”

he said.

Mr Close said the company

started in Winton when its headquarters

was opened in 1920 and

its first forward meeting the year

after.

“One of the reasons why the

company was conceived was the

was pleased to partner with

TAFE Queensland and DMS

Creative to fund the delivery of

the Build a Better Business Program

“Small and medium busi-nesses

are significant employers

The new courses include:

expert business mentors

will guide business owners

through critical periods of business

development.

They will arm owners with

that is needed to clarify

ideas and move into the next

stage of business growth.

The Digital Marketing Mentoring

Program is targeted at established

business owners who

are looking at ways to use digital

marketing to seek and attract

decided to double the funds

“The eligibility for the rebate

was updated in September to

has been overwhelming,” Cr

McDonald said.

“The Scheme has proved

very popular with applications

“A rebate of $300 for a

“To be eligible for the rebate,

“However, it is up to the

“There is a maximum of one

Road accidents - Sudden and traumatic

Queensland Police Assistant Commissioner

Mike Condon and Toowoomba Regional Council

Mayor Paul Antonio sported the high viz vest and

the stop sign synonymous with school lollipop

people last week.

National Road Safety Week aims to make

Australian roads safer by promoting safe road

use. Mr Condon and Cr Antonio learned what

it takes to be a crosswalk attendant at Fairview

Heights State School.Mr Condon said one of the

themes of this year’s NRSW was making sure

children get to school safely.

“Crossing the road can be a dangerous venture

at the best of times and what we are trying to do

is to highlight to not only to the motorist but the

children the importance of taking instruction from

the lollipop ladies,” he said.

“But also to highlight to the motorist that children

are very vulnerable sometimes. They’re not

thinking when they’re crossing the road to see

their mates or crossing the road to see their parents

and they are not thinking about those basic things.

The adults in the cars have to do the thinking for

them.”

Mr Condon said his experience as a lollipop

man highlighted the importance of the 40km

speed zone at schools.

Birthday celebration

“Sadly we still see people speeding through

these zones. They’re not doing the right thing by

themselves and the children,” he said.

“It’s absolutely crucial that you slow down because

children aren’t thinking at the level adults

are.

“Between now and the end of the Christmas period,

we will be very vigilant out on the roads. We

will be running joint operations with other government

departments and we will be focusing on

the fatal five, particularly in seat belts and mobile

phone use.

“We have lost so many people on regional roads

that weren’t wearing seat belts in survivable accidents.

It’s outrageously stupid not wearing a seat

belt this day and age.”

Cr Antonio said the important thing to remember

was road accidents were sudden, traumatic,

and the impact they have on the community.

“The responsibility falls on each and every one

of us. We all have to be mindful on the difficulties

there are in controlling a car,” he said

“Tragically, we have lost two people in the

Southern Region in the past 24 hours. We have the

Christmas period to get through now, so let’s work

together, drive to the conditions and get home

safely,” Mr Condon said. - Sean White

International Men’s Day

Focus on mental health

sausages outside the IGA, for a

small donation, to celebrate the

day.

Crows Nest Men’s Shed publicity

officer Ron Anderson said

this year’s theme, Better Health

for Men and Boys, was especially

important to the group.

“Since our Crows Nest branch

started, we have been trying to

promote men’s mental health,”

Mr Long said.

“Some come to the shed just

for a yarn and a bit of company.”

Mr Anderson said he believed

providing positive relationships

was an integral part of the Men’s

Shed movement.

“Blokes getting together,

working shoulder to shoulder is

something men and boys don’t

get when they are left to their

own devices, “he said.

“I think what happens a lot,

especially with older men, is

that when they retire, their wives

have a much more developed

network of friends and social

groups.

“Men don’t seem to have that

to the same extent and they often

end up sad and miss the male

company they had throughout

their working life.”

Mr Long said depression was

a real issue among men and

boys.

“Especially this year, farmers

have been struggling with

drought and fire and things like

that.

“If it’s partnered with feelings

of loneliness, it just compounds

over time and you can crumble,”

he said.

“We at the Men’s Shed want

to be at the fore front of men’s

health and wellbeing, which is

why we were created in the first

“Men find it easier to speak

with other men, and this year,

it has been difficult to provide

that.’

both within and outside the

Crows Nest group.

“I tried to keep in contact with

all the guys and see how they

were faring, and with this year’s

theme for International Men’s

Day, I think it’s still important,”

he said.

“As a result of our Zoom

meetings throughout the pandemic,

we now have regular

contact with a Men’s Shed in St

Andrews, Scotland. Tonight for

instance, there is a meeting with

the Stanley Men’s Shed also in

Scotland.

“We didn’t have any specific

connection to these international

men’s shed groups to begin with.

“But it’s certainly becoming

more important to us, and knowing

that we can keep each other

men’s health might be a waning

Community leaders

stand against

domestic violence

Community leaders,

politicians and

educators gathered

on Friday morning to

take a stance against

domestic and family

violence.

The gathering, organised

by Toowoomba

Together, a movement

which raises

awareness of the

impact of violence Mr MINZ

against women, was Got to stop

held at the Empire

Theatre Armitage Centre for White Ribbon

Day.

Toowoomba Together president John Minz

said this problem was important because there

was no area immune from relationship and gender-based

violence.

“We have had some very high profile deaths

in Queensland and Australia in the last couple

of weeks and that’s got to stop,” he said.

“Men’s violence against women can be prevented

and it can be stopped by changing the

beliefs and behaviours around equality, respect

and compassion.”

Mr Minz said this year’s White Ribbon Day

went back to a grass-roots style approach in

raising awareness.

“It’s all about what happens at the grassroots.

It’s about what our school children are

doing with projects to make their lives better in

regards to this problem,” he said.

“There are so many allies in this community

- Zonta clubs, Red Rose Foundation and Rotary

- and they all want to get behind this important

change and we are going to do it together as a

community.”

Mr Minz said raising awareness and shining

a light on domestic violence was an important

way to combating the issue.

“Domestic violence has been a hidden crime

for so long, raising awareness through education.

But, overall, it’s about changing values,

beliefs and behaviours for our young.”

One of the guest speakers at Friday’s presentation

was Carbal Medical Service community

outreach manager Charlie Rowe.

Mr Rowe said it was important to teach children

what safe and respectful adult relationships

were to address the issue.

Queensland Police Service Superintendent

Mark Kelly said domestic violence was still a

prevalent issue in Australia.

“Since July, we have had an increase of

breaches in domestic violence, so we want everyone

to become involved and try and support

victims of domestic violence whether they intervene,

report the matters which can help us

prevent these matters,” Supt Kelly said.

“There are so many groups that work towards

support for this issue such as Lifeline

and the Domestic Violence Action Centre.

“If anyone is suffering from domestic violence,

they need to engage these groups for

support and come and talk to the police, we are

here to help.”

Mr Minz said men could take the first steps

in changing the mentality could be as simple

as speaking out about an inappropriate joke or

comment.

“It’s about your words and your interactions,

how you demonstrate you believe in respect

and equality which can’t be faked,” he said.

you do this may affect pets in a

affected by ingesting rat bait

which have ingested rat bait.

It is a condition to be taken

Student band concert goes off with a bang

Highfields Secondary College

senior student band The Phatzenis

performed on Tuesday as a

send-off to the school’s Year 12

students.

The Phatzenis, comprising

drummer Sam Balarezo, rhythm

guitarist Reece Mitchell, lead

guitarist Tim O’Brien, keys

player Zac Stitch-Hoddle, vocalist

Lachlann McCosker, rapper

and vocalist Lachlan King and

lead vocalist Sophie Volp, were

joined by teacher Nathan Canavan

on drums and special guest

M.C. King during the teacher

and student exclusive performance.

Playing regularly and having

become quite well known

throughout the school with their

rock star status, Sam explained

how the band came about.

He said the school had asked

if they would be interested in

forming a student band two

years ago and have stuck together

ever since.

“Every year, we have Artech

Day, which is a celebration of

all the arts, coming together and

just having fun,” he said.

“Our band was playing on Artech

Day and Mr Canavan was

wearing a shirt with the word

Phatzeni on it and a picture of

one of our teachers, Mr Atzeni.

“We found it funny enough

that we decided to name our

band the Phatzenis and Mr Atzeni

has become one of our biggest

supporters, taking photos at all

our gigs.”

Sam said the band performed

a broad range of music from pop

and rock to 80s music.

EACH TUESDAY NIGHT

Same format as last year, and just as much fun.

Bring along a friend or two.

“We need a broad range of

repertoire to keep the student

body happy,” he said.

“But the concert was just

great, the audience was fantastic.”

Complete with back up

dancers on stage supplied by

X-Dance, the two-hour after

school concert was a success.

“I think it’s one of the biggest

concerts our school has had

so far in its short history,” Sam

said.

“We weren’t able to have Artech

Day this year thanks to the

coronavirus, and, considering

this will probably be our final

performance, we really wanted

to end things with a bang.”

- Quinn Macdonald

Local musicians find success after live music ban

Toowoomba based musician

Christopher Edwards has been

enjoying centre stage since the

tender age of five and started

getting paid gigs at 13.

Living in a music centric

household, Edwards said some

of his earliest memories were

listening to Led Zeppelin and

Pink Floyd with his father.

“Throughout my life, there

had not been one moment where

I had ever considered doing anything

other than music,” he said.

“Becoming a musician was

all I dreamed about, and largely,

music was all I did.

“It was only when I was finally

graduating that I realised music

would be a lot harder to do

professionally then I previously

thought.”

Enjoy a burger with your bowls, or have a burger while you watch the bowls in action

– either way it’s an inexpensive and fun couple of hours.

Burgers are ready from about 6, and bowls starts at 6.30. No experience necessary, so

come along and join a growing group of locals on the green.

We’ll supply the bowls, mats and jacks – all you need to bring is yourself,

some soft-soled shoes and an appetite for something new.

finally reached the point where

music could be his single source

of income.

“I have been playing professionally

since I was a teen, but

I soon realised that playing gigs

alone wasn’t going to pay the

bills,” he said.

“So, like many musicians before

me, I had to work nine to

five like everyone else.

“I still performed at least one

gig every weekend and continued

playing with all my bands.

“I met Shane Finney two

“It was all looking fairly

good.Then, as most things did

this year, it all just came crashing

down.

“At the beginning of February

when COVID-19 was really

scaring everyone, I got fired

from my job,” Edwards said

“That same day, I got a phone

call saying that all the shows for

our duo group had been cancelled

for the rest of the year.

“It was about a four-month

period of absolutely nothing other

myself where I could and feeling

generally sad most of the time.

Candidate’s policy - getting

government out of people’s lives

Craig Farquharson is the Liberal Democrat Party

candidate for the upcoming by-election for the

seat of Groom

Born in Dalby, Craig is a fourth generation Darling

Downs local.

After a 12-year career serving overseas as a

military contractor, during which he received a

commendation for brave conduct, he opened his

own small business in Newtown to help people

quit smoking.

Craig was pushed into politics after the

Queensland Health Department launched a twoyear

legal battle against his business. All charges

were dropped on the second day in court, but the

emotional and financial damage was significant -

all for trying to help people stop smoking through

vaping, an incredibly successful technology that

has been embraced by the health departments of

the United Kingdon, New Zealand and others

globally.

the idea of live streaming some

performances.

“We did it under the excuse of

performing for the people who

were missing our music, but in

reality, it was more for Shane

and I to remain sane.”

Although experiencing quite

a painful start to the new year,

now that restrictions continue to

life, the Shane Finney Duo has

recovered a lot quicker than other

local groups.

“From a business perspective,

other then destroying all hopes

of a gig at the start of the year,

this pandemic has done some

lucky things for us,” Edwards

said.

“Live music has begun to

come back in full force.

“Especially for my duo, cafes

and restaurants and other

venues that host live music

have realised several things.

“One, that a duo is a lot more

affordable then a full band.

“Two, we are good and play

a wide range of music and three

that we already have a following

and customers don’t leave until

we do, which is good for business.”

Edwards said although the

year is now looking to end on a

high note and will most probably

carry on to the next year as well.

“At the moment I casually

work at Dominoes throughout

the week,” he said.

“Not because I need the money,

but just to fill in time I would

normally have just been chilling

at home.”

CHRISTOPHER

EDWARDS

Live music is coming back

After seeing firsthand the ineptitude of government

and the way red tape could strangle local

business, Craig has decided to make a stand.

He is running on a platform to LEAVE YOU

ALONE - getting the government out of people’s

personal lives and slashing the stranglehold of red,

green and blue tape that is holding Australian business

back. He wants to see sensible drug reform

including the legalisation of vaping and cannabis,

and for the government to focus on essentials such

as defence, roads and health care. Craig believes

that with better budgeting, the government would

not need to rely on perpetual tolls to fund road infrastructure

development.

During his battle with the health department,

Craig found the political representatives for this

area disinterested and unapproachable, so he is

committed to being open, honest and available to

his constituency if he is elected - a politician you

can contact.

If you want to talk more with Craig, call him on 0492 983 078

Annual markets boost

community spirit

With a little bit of a helping hand, the Haden

Public Hall Committee was able to hold one of its

annual fundraising events for this year.

The committee held its Haden Markets at the

public hall on Saturday with many market goers

supporting the event.

Haden Public Hall committee secretary Loretta

Voll said the group was happy with the response it

received for the markets despite the troubles this

year.

“We usually have two events during the year,

with our annual markets being held in September

and our block party in November,” Mrs Voll said.

“But because of COVID, we had to postpone

our markets and cancel our block party.

“Earlier in the year we received a grant from

the Toowoomba Regional Council’s first round of

Community Grants Fund.

“With the grant, we have been able to organise

free entertainment for the market goers such

as face painting, a jumping castle and musicians.”

Having been involved with the committee for

the past 10 years, Mrs Voll said a past member of

the committee started to apply for grants to help

with entertainment when the community struggled

with drought.

“It is great to hold these events to help bolster

community spirit,” Mrs Voll said.

• Cont. from page 19

Trent Mullins, 1/17 (5) and Dom Briggs, 1/28

(4) were the only wicket takers for Millmerran.

NOBBY vs. KULPI

The battle between Nobby and Kulpi is always a

close one, and today was no different, the visiting

Kulpi side defeated by just two runs, 166-9/164.

Nobby won the toss and elected to bat, hoping

to score more than they have in recent matches.

Tim Dowe (58 not out) and Nick Budden (26)

led the way for Nobby in a low scoring match.

The innings was looking in trouble at 9/122, but

a good final wicket stand saw the hosts move to

166, bowled all out in the final over.

F.O.W. 14, 25, 26, 49, 55, 80, 103, 106, 122,

166. All out for 166 (39.3).

Brenden Schick was the pick of the Kulpi bowlers

with 3/13 (8).

Jack McKewen, 2/15 (5); Nick Spies, 2/43 (6);

Dave Sipple, 1/19 (8) and Marcus Frizzell, 1/26

(7) all contributed to keep the total low.

Despite the reachable target ahead, Kulpi also

struggled with the bat.

Dennis Schick (45) and Corey Dioth (20) were

the only bats to post a decent score.

Pat

At 7/70, the game was looking done and dusted

but the tail wagged and with one over to go, a win

looked in sight, but time got the better of them, the

Kulpi men falling short by only two runs.

Coming in at number 10, Jack McKewen was a

catalyst in the wagging tail, batting with the others

to get them close late in the game, despite only

scoring 10 runs (not out).

F.O.W. 29, 31, 40, 47, 67, 67, 70, 113, 150.

9/164 (40).

For Nobby, J. Harksma, 3/24 (8); C. Barnett,

2/16 (8); Cam Moodie, 2/23 (6) and Matt Budden,

1/29 (8) all grabbed wickets in the chase.

Kulpi skipper Brenden Schick said it was a

great game to be a part of for both teams.

That marks an end to the first matches of the

second round. Nobby remain on top of the table,

but with Bowenville hot on their heels, they will

still have to work for every win to remain ahead.

Next week sees the first weekend of the new

Twenty20 competition commence.

Each team will play two games per day, over

two weekends between the Pittsworth and Southbrook

grounds. - Brendan Cahill

Barley crops vital for cattle producers

GRAIN FOR CATTLE AT LEAST UNTIL

SORGHUM CROP IS IN THE BIN

The national media has been

reporting on the progress of the

extensive winter crop harvest as it

proceeds south through New South

Wales, in what could be the best crop

ever for some districts.

But smaller crops of barley on

the Northern Darling Downs have

also ripened, providing owners with

grain stocks for cattle, at least until a

summer sorghum crop is in the bin.

Many smaller cattle producers

rely on barley, albeit from small

paddocks.

Coalbank producer Paul Coman

said it was good to get his 40 tonnes

of barley in the bin.

It will be used to top up feed for

young cattle in preparation for the

feedlot or to sell heifers for the meat

works. He said they have not grown

barley for the past four years because

of the lack of winter rains.

There have also been poor summer

crop growing seasons. And for the

past two years, feed grain had to be

bought in.

The crop was planted on 17mm of

rain in May, and there were falls in

June, July and August. The big rain

of 70mm in October fell after the

crop had finished growing but it did

yield 1¼ tonnes/acre.

This year Mr Coman said he also

has a hay shed full of forage bales,

and he also has grain sorghum and

millet in the ground. He planted

Planet variety barley which was

harvested by Mark Genrich of

TSBE and Nutrien workshop for cattle husbandry

FOCUS THIS YEAR ON ANIMAL STUDIES - NEXT YEAR VET NURSING

How cattle and other livestock were treated and

handled was increasingly important for producers,

a field day in Toowoomba recently was told.

The workshop, at Toowoomba TAFE Queensland

Rural Centre of Excellence in Campbell

Street, attracted livestock producers from throughout

the region.

It was organised by Toowoomba and Surat Ba-

Nutrien Ag Solutions, Western Queensland

and North West NSW General Manager, Damon

Ferguson and Bruce McConnel, TSBE

Food Leaders Australia manager, at a cattle

husbandry workshop held at the Toowoomba

TAFE Rural Centre of Excellence.

sin Enterprise and Nutrien Ag Solutions. It was a

first of its kind and highlighted the best practices

in general animal husbandry, including the methods

of application, new treatments and pain relief.

Presentations included practical demonstrations

allowing attendees the chance to ask questions in

the field and learn from experts and others experiences.

TSBE FLA General Manager, Bruce McConnel,

said the importance of animal husbandry methods

and animal management is not to be underestimated

as they impact health and production.

“This field day brought together beef producers

to ensure they have up-to-date animal husbandry

advice, equipment and best management practices

in place for this vitally important part of their

business.”

He said consumers want to have confidence that

beef cattle are produced in the most morally, ethically

and pain free way possible.

It was the farmers’ social licence to operate.

TSBE was working alongside Nutrien Ag Solutions,

an integral part of the Australian agricultural

industry and committed to growing value through

a world of innovation, practically applied,” Mr

McConnel said.

Nutrien Ag Solutions, Western Qld and North

West NSW General Manager, Damon Ferguson,

said it is great to have a facility in town that allows

livestock to be brought in to the CBD and easily

connect with our clients and provide them a practical

field day.

“The field day provided a great opportunity to

see the advanced technology that is happening in

agriculture and showcase best practises and the

exciting things that are happening in the industry,”

Mr Ferguson said.

“In the Darling Downs we have very progressive

producers who want to deliver the best

products that we can in Australia and around the

world.”

“We have an opportunity to show the world that

we are fair dinkum about the products we produce

and how we treat our animals.”

“We produce high value and sustainable products

in the current climate, given we deal in such

unpredictable climatic conditions, and it is all

rolled up into a best practise and the most efficient

way to be a producer,” Mr Ferguson said.

TAFE Queensland South West Director of Corporate

Solutions, Michele Berkhout said the organisation

was excited to work with industry and

grow Queensland’s agricultural sector through

workshops and training.

CRICKET

CENTRAL DOWNS: November 22 - Round

2 of the Fiechtner Family Shield commenced Sunday

with the first games being playing between

Bowenville, Millmerran, Kulpi and Nobby.

Bowenville beat Millmerran by eight wickets in

a bowling masterclass and Nobby beat Kulpi by

only two runs in a brilliant contest.

Pittsworth had a bye this week with Southbrook

withdrawing from the competition.

BOWENVILLE vs. MILLMERRAN

After being beaten by Bowenville in the season

opener, Millmerran travelled to Oakey looking for

a much-needed win.

Losing the toss and being sent in to bat, it was

bad news from the beginning with Chaz Cheatley

removing both openers early.

Wickets continued to fall regularly, before the

usually explosive Brett French took to the crease,

and with a rather reserved approach, he began to

build an innings with skipper James Sinclair.

However, when Jack Gardner took the skipper’s

wicket for 28, that was the Millmerran innings all

but over. French made a decent 36 runs but there

was not much else to smile about for Millmerran.

Wickets fell at 7, 16, 25, 25, 31, 72, 72, 101,

114, 114. All out for 114 (30.2).

Chaz Cheatley, once again, had a worldie with

the ball.

The young superstar finished with 6/23 from

eight overs, his career best.

Jack Gardener, 2/10 (6) and Daly Guest, 2/32

(5.2) both had good spells also.

With victory in sight, the Bowenville camp was

confident, but the early wicket of Chaz Cheatley

quickly reminded them that it wouldn’t be an easy

stroll home.

From there though, Mustafa Abbasi and Arshvir

Singh steadied the ship, with “Mushi” bringing up

another half century (55), and Ash getting 35 not

out.

Harry Dhillon finished the job with a boundary

for nine runs, not out.

Wickets fell at 6, 97. Bowenville chased down

Millmerran, 2/118 (24.1). • Continued page 13

Oakey High students’ disrupted year

A YEAR TO GET SIDE TRACKED

Friday marked the graduation of

Year 12 students across Queensland,

with 2020 student body from Oakey

State High School celebrating completing

their schooling experience.

The school celebrated the milestone

with a breakfast with the students

and their families before the

ceremony was under way.

Oakey State High School principal

Danny Keenan said he wanted to pay

tribute to the this year’s magnificent

Year 12 cohort.

“They have truly shown a focus in

line with the very concept of 20/20

vision,” he said.

“If ever there was a year to get side

tracked - this was it.

“Schooling was disrupted. Learning

at home became the new normal

for a few weeks, then back to school,

all within a new senior system and

new curriculum.

“I often tell the students that the

staff have two clear jobs at Oakey

High.

“The first is to help them be the

best people they can be to indeed

support parents and carers.

“The second is to assist the students

to be the best in class - whatever

class that is.

“Congratulations to the Year 12s

on their graduation and best wishes

for your next adventure,” Mr Keenan

said. - Sean White

Kingsthorpe success in the ring

Kingsthorpe amateur boxer Tremaine Withers

is hitting the bags after winning his first bout in

Brisbane.

Tremaine won his first amateur match against

Dalach O’Deasmhunaigh with a decision after

three rounds at Eastside Boxing Gym in Brisbane

at October 24. The match was the last BQ

pre match tournament organised through Boxing

Queensland.

“I was a little nervous getting into it, but once I

got in, it all came around,” he said.

Withers’ foray into boxing was initially for

weight loss, when he started in January, losing

40kg by the time of his bout.

He said diet and training where the big factors

that helped him lose the weight.

“I tried losing weight in the past and it never

stuck, so I thought if I set a goal of wanting to have

a fight, I would have to lose the weight,” Tremaine

said.

“We started in January with the weight loss and

COVID came along which gave my father and I

some extra time to train.”

He said every fortnight he would run from

Kingsthorpe to Oakey to help with his cardio conditioning.

“Even though there was some strength training,

majority of my training was cardio based with

pad-work, skipping and running.

Tremaine’s father and coach Tyrone Withers

said he was proud of his son’s effort.

“He had the focus and the dedication towards

his training. Not once did I have get him training,”

Mr Withers said.

“I have been around boxing all my life and I

thought he would just be another boxe.

“But it was different being my son. It was more

nerve wracking but I was also proud to see him

win.

“With any sport, if you put in the hard yards you

get the rewards.”

Mr Withers said he and his son were grateful of

the help Toowoomba boxing coach Brandon Wood

provided.

“Brandon was a massive help organising sparring

for Tremaine.

“We don’t have anyone else out here, and I

would have a go at him but he’s too good now,”

Mr Withers said.

Tremaine said he was still training and would

be taking on more amateur fights through the Boxing

Queensland promotion. - Sean White
