NEW SOMERSET RESIDENTS 

TO GET PROPERTY 

INFORMATION FASTER 

Somerset Regional Council will amend its 

property search process to alert prospective 

buyers earlier about possible problems, well 

before settlement. 

Mayor Graeme Lehmann said the change 

was about protecting prospective buyers. 

“We are receiving large numbers of property 

search requests from solicitors including 

apparent sight-unseen sales,” Cr Lehmann 

said. 

“We need to make sure that we don’t just let 

the buyers’ solicitors know about any known 

issues with properties but also let the buyers 

themselves know. 

“With city people interested in moving to 

our great rural area, we have an obligation 

to make sure the buyers understand road 

access, flooding, building, pest plant and 

other issues with the properties to avoid 

potential problems later.” 

Council has changed its policy to enable new 

buyers to get this information as quickly as 

possible. 

SOMERSET FINDS $7,000 

SAVINGS 

Somerset Regional Council has changed its 

risk management policy involving flood boat 

insurance coverage. 

Mayor Graeme Lehmann said the change 

was another cost saving measure. 

“We are looking for practical savings and 

this latest change follows other moves to 

save insurance premiums, electricity and 

telecommunications costs, government 

levies and other costs without impacting on 

service levels,” Cr Lehmann said. 

COUNCIL POSTPONES FREE 

TREE DAY EVENTS 

A popular annual free tree day program, 

delivered by Somerset Regional Council, has 

been postponed in 2020 due to COVID. 

Council traditionally holds three free tree 

day events in September/October each year 

where residents receive between two and 20 

free trees. 

Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann said 

council was investigating other models of 

free tree delivery for early next year 

“We know our residents are appreciative of 

the free tree day program and we would like 

to continue to provide this great program that 

benefits our residents and our environment,” 

Cr Lehmann said. 

“Due to its popularity and social distancing 

requirements, Council is unable to run the 

event in the traditional way. 

“We are however looking at alternative ways 

to deliver this program for this financial year. 

“We also need to investigate availability of 

trees at our local nurseries in the quantities 

we need to meet demand and also suitability 

of planting trees in the summer or autumn 

seasons.” 

COUNCIL EXPRESSES 

GRATITUDE FOR BEING 

PART OF WORKS FOR 

QUEENSLAND PROGRAM 

Somerset Regional Council has 

expressed its gratitude to the State 

Government for including it as part of 

the Works for Queensland program. 


the program was invaluable for the 

region. 

“Works for Queensland is an effective jobs 

and economic growth initiative from the 

government, which sees millions poured into 

regional councils,” Cr Lehmann said. 

Council will write to the Queensland 

State Premier and the Minister for State 

Development, Infrastructure, Local 

Government and Planning thanking them 

for including Somerset in the funding and 

further, requesting that the funding (or 

equivalent) be extended.

While getting active at the beach, 

rainforest or in the bush are great 

ways to enjoy the great outdoors 

this summer, Queenslanders must 

remember the importance of 

proper hydration and sun safety 

as hot weather hits. 

Queensland Health spokesperson Bronwyn 

Nardi said under the hot Queensland sun, it’s 

very easy to become dehydrated, especially 

when physically active, and it’s important to 

be prepared and always bring water. 

“Dehydration is the result of your body losing 

too much water and not being replaced 

quickly enough. Your body can lose water 

very quickly in hot weather by sweating, and 

you also lose water simply by exhaling,” Ms 

Nardi said. 

“Remember it’s not just the elderly or children 

that can be affected by dehydration, it can 

affect any Queenslander, even if you’re fit and 

healthy. 

“Dehydration can have serious consequences 

such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and 

you can suffer serious illness. 

“Even if you’re heading out on a short 

bushwalk, run, cycle or paddle, you should 

always be carrying water during the warmer 

months - at least 1-2 litres per person. 

“If you’re heading out for a half or full day on 

the water or in the bush, it’s recommended to 

carry at least 3-4 litres of water. 

“You should be drinking water regularly 

throughout the day – don’t wait until you’re 

thirsty. 

“It’s also a good idea to head out early to 

avoid the warmest parts of the day and even 

think about choosing locations offering some 

shade as much as possible,” Ms Nardi said. 

Symptoms of dehydration include thirstiness, 

a dry mouth, headache or light headedness or 

dizziness. 

The best thing to do to avoid and treat 

dehydration is to drink water, and you can 

also use oral rehydration solutions to replace 

electrolytes. Avoid alcoholic, caffeinated or 

sugary drinks. 

Ms Nardi also encouraged people to protect 

themselves from harmful UV rays in multiple 

ways every time they are outdoors as the 

weather heats up. 

“A hat, sunscreen and sunglasses are a good 

idea, and where possible, a long-sleeved shirt 

and pants is also smart. This not only helps to 

protect you against the sun, but also insects 

such as ticks and mosquitoes,” she said. 

This year through to the end of October, 

there have been 635 emergency department 

presentations for heat related illness, with 

the most presentations in the Cairns and 

Hinterland, Central Queensland and Metro 

North Hospital and Health Service regions. 

In October 2020, there were 77 heat related 

emergency department presentations to 

Queensland hospitals – a 37% increase from 

the previous month. 

In 2019, there were 1,161 emergency 

department presentations across the state 

for heat related illness such as heatstroke or 

sunstroke. 

Emergency department presentations for 

heat related illness start to increase during the 

spring months and typically continue to rise 

throughout summer. 

In September 2019, there were 40 heat 

related emergency department presentations 

to Queensland hospitals. This rose to 84 

presentations in October 2019 and spiked to 

157 presentations in November 2019 and 220 

presentations in December 2019. 

In January 2020, presentations remained high 

with 194 presentations, decreasing to 163 in 

February 2020 and 64 in March 2020.

how to avoid it, visit the Healthier.Happier

Somerset Regional Council has 

released data showing traffic 

volumes on the recently upgraded 

Gregors Creek Road are up by 

114%. 

Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann said the 

project involved making the road a suitable 

inter-highway connector. 

“This project is already paying off with 

increased usage and we couldn’t be happier,” 

Cr Lehmann said. 

“We look forward to welcoming Senator

The Aussie Backyard Bird Count 

has celebrated its biggest year 

ever, despite – and perhaps even 

because of – the many difficulties 

2020 has brought with it. 

Now in its seventh consecutive year, the 

count was held from 19 to 25 October, and 

saw record-breaking success, with 4.6 million 

birds counted across the nation, soaring past 

the 3.4 million counted in 2019. 

The number of young people involved raised 

dramatically, with numbers of participating 

schools rising to more than 1,500. 

In Queensland, the Rainbow Lorikeet, Noisy 

Miner, and Torresian Crow were the mostcounted 

birds, which came as little surprise to 

Somerset Regional Council 

has, with the assistance of local 

contractors, cleared more than 

350 hectares of the invasive pest 

plant species, lantana, in just four 

months. 

In the same period, council has chemically 

treated more than 75 hectares of lantana. 

The proactive and aggressive approach to the 

removal of lantana in the region is ongoing 

but stems from over $900,000 in Australian 

Government funding awarded to council to 

help farmers reduce the impacts of pests and 

weeds following drought and bushfires. 


significant inroads had been made in the 

battle against lantana in the region. 

“Council is also providing landowners in 

Somerset with a 100% chemical subsidy 

Paul Scarr and other Australian Government 

representatives to the region on Thursday, 26 

November and reporting back how successful 

this project has been. 

“We are grateful to the Australian Government 

for jointly funding this $3.3M project. 

“In addition to Gregors Creek Road being 

6.5 kilometres shorter than the highway 

route, it provides an important alternative 

for motorists when the D’Aguilar Highway or 

Brisbane Valley Highway are closed because 

of a crash. 

“Even before the new bridge and upgraded 

road is officially opened we’re seeing a 114% 

increase in traffic. That’s fantastic. 

organisers. 

“Overall, Rainbow Lorikeets finished on top 

of the list throughout Australia, with more 

than half a million counted this year,” BirdLife 

Australia’s chief ‘bird nerd’, Sean Dooley said. 

“These colourful birds have finished on top 

every year since the Aussie Bird Count began 

in 2014.” 

Mr Dooley said he believed the lockdowns 

and restrictions associated with the COVID-19 

pandemic had influenced the number of 

people taking part. 

“With so many of us forced to slow down 

during the COVID lockdown, we suddenly 

became aware that birds are all around us, no 

matter where they are,” he said. 

“It really shows the importance that birds came 

to have in our lives this year. As our personal 

worlds became more restricted and quieter, 

birds offered a much-needed connection with 

the outside world and brought us a sense of 

program for lantana which has had a huge 

take up,” Cr Lehmann said. 

“Just for the Lantana Chemical Subsidy 

Program we have received 46 expressions of 

interest and 26 property pest management 

plans approved.” 

“Managing pests 

and weeds is a 

significant cost at 

the best of times 

for farmers and 

even more so at 

a time when they 

are doing it tough 

due to drought so 

we’re doing what 

we can to support 

them carry out 

these important 

activities,” he said. 

“If the increased usage continues, which we 

expect it will, new commuters will save 1 

million kms in total over one year by using 

Gregors Creek Road.” 

Cr Lehmann said the road is providing a 

massive economic boost for Somerset at a 

time when it is needed most. 

“The Australian Government has also agreed 

to help Somerset Regional Council fund a 

further $12 million in vital works under the 

Bridges Renewal Program and Heavy Vehicle 

Safety and Productivity Program over the next 

two years including Lowood Minden Road 

and Esk-Crows Nest Road - far more than any 

neighbouring council area,” he said. 

solace and delight,” he said. 

Many of the birds in the national top ten 

are familiar faces to all Australians, with the 

Rainbow Lorikeet, Noisy Miner, Australian 

Magpie, Sulphur-crested Cockatoo and Galah 

rounded out the top five. 

These were followed by the House Sparrow, 

Welcome Swallow, Silver Gull, Common Myna, 

with the Australian White Ibis rounding out 

the top ten. 

The wealth of data gathered through the 

nation-wide citizen science project will 

go towards helping animal researchers 

throughout Australia. 

“The information gathered during the Aussie 

Backyard Bird Count will feed back into 

BirdLife Australia’s databases and will provide 

a much clearer picture of what’s happening 

with local bird populations across the country,” 

Mr Dooley said.

TOOGOOLAWAH PICTURES 

“The Toogoolawah PICTURES will recommence 

screening this weekend in 

response to the latest relaxation of the 

COVID-19 restrictions. 

Up until now the Pictures have not been able 

to open due to restriction of numbers making 

operation unviable and due to changes in the 

way we will have to operate the evening, the 

Progress Association has decided to trial a few 

nights to gauge community reaction before 

proceeding into a full program. 

The Progress members have assessed the way 

nightly programs operate in conjunction with 

the layout of the Alexandra Hall. 

The biggest hurdle for the Pictures is 

It was another big week at the 

History Museum in Toogoolawah. 

Two delightful visitors, Anne and Brian Nathan, 

came to donate some quite old school photos 

of Esk State School students - “school photos” 

to the museum. The photographs will be 

safely stored in an archive box titled “Chaille.” 

So, if you are interested, come to the History 

Museum, and check them out. 

On Friday, seven rather chipper cyclists were 

observed photographing one of the murals 

on the wall of the Museum Storage Shed and 

were keen to be photographed in front of 

it. They were also happy to chat about their 

morning on the BVRT. A group of friends rather 

than an official club, they had left Linville early 

that morning arriving in Toogoolawah about 

8 am. They inspected the Museum when it 

opened and were delighted to see the famous 

Les Cecil bicycle and to read about his many 

distancing when lining up and moving 

around the hall and the members have made 

the hard decision of not having an interval for 

the time being. The Kitchen service will also 

be temporarily closed. This means patrons 

will miss out on their favourite Saturday night 

Hot Dog and fresh Popcorn fix until we find a 

solution. The Snack Bar will operate as normal. 

Patrons will need to book their tickets 

in advance for the pictures, for seating 

to be allocated according to distancing 

requirement. We apologise in advance, if 

we do not have spare seats on the night. 

Bookings can be made by texting the number

A request from community groups 

for the Somerset Regional Council 

to reverse a previous decision has 

been denied at last week’s council 

meeting. 

The request related to traffic cones, small 

orange bollards, and orange barrier mesh, 

which the Council’s Operational Department 

used to provide to non-profit community 

events free of charge. 

The items weren’t stored for the sole use 

for community events, and were stored in 

Council’s stores for use by Council’s Works 

Branch for its own roadworks, projects and 

hazard marking activities. 

Due to the limited availability of these items, 

their susceptibility to damage and loss, and 

the increased workload for council officers 

in organising the allocation of these items 

to community events (often several hours), 

council resolved in 2019 to stop providing 

these items. 

Recently, the council recently received 

correspondence from the Valley of the 

Lakes Garden Club Inc asking the council to 

reconsider the decision on not supplying 

traffic cones and bollards to non-profit groups 

when holding events. 

They argued that it was unfair that volunteer 

community clubs with limited fund should 

have to either purchase traffic cones and 

bollards, and then find somewhere to store 

them when not in use. 

Councillor Cheryl Gaedtke expressed her 

support for this point of view. 

“I see this as another barrier to our community 

groups,” she said. 

“Our groups need this access, there has to be 

another option instead of just cancelling this 

service.” 

However, fellow councillors were in 

agreement with the council’s original decision 

to stop supplying their items, with Cr. Robert 

Whalley arguing the situation presented an 

opportunity for the different groups in the 

community to collaborate, which is something 

the council has been trying to encourage for 

several years. 

“As with everything in life, where there’s 

a problem, there’s an opportunity for 

improvement,” he said. 

“There’s opportunity here for these groups to 

work together and share these items.” 

He emphasised the importance of 

communication between community groups, 

noting that while some lacked the finances 

and storage space to keep cones and bollards, 

others had ample spare space in their facilities. 

Following further discussion, councillors 

voted that a report be brought back to 

Council identifying which community groups 

had previously made use of the traffic cones, 

bollards and orange barrier mesh, and which 

groups have access to potential storage 

solutions.

People will be able to travel freely 

to Queensland without a border 

declaration pass from December 

1 unless they have been in a 

COVID-19 hotspot. 

With Queensland reopening its borders to all 

of New South Wales and Victoria on Tuesday, 

only travellers who have been in a hotspot 

or overseas within 14 days will be required to 

complete a border declaration pass. 

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) will 

also remove its road border checkpoints so 

motorists can travel freely across state borders. 

Anyone who has been in a declared COVID 

hotspot or overseas will need to complete 

a border declaration pass online before 

travelling to Queensland. 

They will be required to stay in hotel quarantine 

for 14 days and must enter Queensland by air, 

unless they have an exemption. They will not 

be permitted to travel to Queensland by road. 

Police officers will conduct random 

interceptions along the Queensland state 

road border to ensure they have not travelled 

from a hotspot. 

A police presence will remain at airports with 

compliance checks carried out on all flights 

from COVID-19 hotspots and random checks 

on passengers disembarking from other 

interstate flights. 

State Disaster Coordinator Deputy 

Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said 

the border control announcement was an 

important milestone in the road to recovery 

from COVID-19. 

“Introducing border controls in Queensland 

has not been done for more than 100 years 

and it has been a mammoth operation,” 

Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski said. 

“We know it has been difficult for many people, 

particularly those in border communities and 

I would like to thank those residents for their 

patience and cooperation. 

He said more than one million vehicles had 

been intercepted at road borders since March 

27. 

“I would like to acknowledge the effort of all 

police officers, members of the Australian 

Defence Force, SES, Department of Transport 

and Main Roads and all others who have 

assisted in the operation. 

“Persevering through freezing cold nights and 

very hot days, they have been at the frontline 

of our COVID-19 response and have done an 

outstanding job of protecting Queensland.”

pass, please visit qld.gov.au/border-pass. 


Among the many events and 

initiatives postponed due to 

COVID-19 this year, the Somerset 

Regional Council’s free tree day – 

usually held in October – was one 

of the casualties. 

Though the future of restrictions in the region 

remains unpredictable, the council began 

discussions of other options for the future of 

the free tree program at their meeting last 

week. 

Several possibilities were considered, 

including a normal tree event in April, a clickand-collect 

service, provision of tree packs or 

seed sticks, offering vouchers to be honoured 

at local nurseries, or simply postponing the 

program entirely until October 2021. 

The latter option was the course recommended 

to councillors by Director of Operations Craig 

Young. 

“We feel the level of success in the program 

comes from the engagement with council 

officers, being able to get advice and discuss 

ideas,” he said. 

“There’s a lot of uncertainty, with so much 

interest and enthusiasm, so we recommend 

deferring.” 

The program has certainly proven its 

popularity, with more than 5500 trees 

distributed during 2019. 

However, Councillor Robert Whalley opposed 

the recommendation, and suggested that 

council pursue collaborations with local 

nurseries. 

“I respectfully disagree. I strongly believe we’re 

in a period where people want to improve 

their gardens. It’s the perfect opportunity to 

get the free trees out there,” he said. 

“People will come in for a free tree, then they’ll 

see a houseplant, see a garden statue, and so 

on. It will help those businesses, and economic 

recovery in the region.” 

Cr. Sean Choat supported Cr. Whalley’s 

suggestion, but acknowledged there were 

difficulties involved with planning and 

executing such a plan. 

“To be fair, we’d need to plan it very well,” he 

said. 

“We’re putting commercial businesses up 

there, and we wouldn’t want them having a 

bad experience on it.” 

Both Deputy Mayor Helen Brieschke and CEO 

Andrew Johnson noted there were other 

difficulties and limitations involved, especially 

relating to getting enough seedlings for 

the program – as these are usually sourced 

from outside the region – and the timing for 

growing and planting – if the program were to 

be held at a different time of the year rather 

than in October. 

The council voted for a report to be compiled 

and presented at a future meeting regarding 

whether it would be viable to host a free tree 

program with local nurseries in early 2021.

Following untold months of 

planning, construction, and 

installation, a replica of the 

Coronation Hall at Somerset Dam 

was unveiled last week. 

On the morning of Tuesday, November 24, 

representatives from the local community, 

the Somerset Dam and Districts Progress 

Assocation, Toogoolawah Men’s Shed, and 

Somerset Regional Council came out to the 

hall for the official presentation. 

The replica is intended to serve as a 

community book box, with community 

members welcome to take what they like and 

leave books of their own if they wish. 

The scale version of the hall was painstakingly 

created by the team from the Toogoolawah 

Men’s Shed, who used reference photos to 

match the dimensions and colour of the 

original building, while taking every effort to 

make the box as sturdy as possible to survive 

weather and vandals. 

Councillor Sean Choat, whose suggestions 

inspired the design of the box, presided over 

the opening. 

“Isn’t this brilliant? Our Mayor always says we 

can’t do things in Somerset without members 

of our community, and in particular 

the community groups,” he said. 

“This is a community asset. I don’t 

think we’ve had anything created 

in our community for a very long 

time as special as this. I know this 

is going to grow and become 

something that everyone comes 

to respect and love, and wouldn’t it 

be great if we saw them propagate 

around the region?” 

Passers-by in the area can make 

use of the book box at any time, 

and unlike some similar initiatives, there is no 

obligation for those who take something from 

the box to leave another book in return. 

The project was funded through a cash for 

cans initiative carried out at the nearby park 

in the Somerset Dam Village, one of many 

projects the Progress Association has been 

involved with in recent times, with others 

included the establishment of new walking 

trails, and collaboration with Seqwater 

towards the dam upgrade legacy projects. 

Association President Noelene Hunter took 

the opportunity to bring the visitors into the 

hall for morning tea, and to discuss some of 

the other plans the group had to celebrate the 

region’s history. 

These include new historical signs to be placed 

at surviving period buildings in the area, and 

new high-quality frames to be placed in the 

hall, containing historical photos. 

“The photos will be professionally printed 

from original scanned versions,” she said. 

“Photo selection is underway, and appropriate 

wording will be added to individual photos.” 

The frames will be protected by Perspex rather 

than glass, with hidden locking mechanisms 

to keep them anchored to the wall and 

discourage tampering. 

“There’s single frames, double-panel frames, 

and triple-panel frames,” Noelene said. 

“Some special frames will also be designed for 

a town map, and a collage.” 


THE SOMERSET December 2, 2020 - Page 6

Having a disability needn’t stop 

you showcasing your abilities and 

achieving your goals. 

International Day of People with Disability 

on December 3 is a global celebration of the 

achievements and contributions of people 

living with disability. 

Supporting people with disability and 

ensuring they feel connected and included 

in their local community is what Carinity Our 

House in Toogoolawah is all about. 

Speaking in the lead up to International Day 

of People with Disability, Carinity Our House 

Client Services Coordinator Maggie Poole 

says social inclusion is paramount to making 

people feel a part of the community they live 

in. 

“Carinity Our House gives our people their 

own life outside of home and family. This 

gives them a sense of individuality, purpose 

and pleasure while making new friends and 

creating new opportunities,” Maggie says. 

Carinity Our House provides social activities, 

short-term on-site accommodation, in-home 

support and personal care, and assisting with 

volunteering and teaching life skills. 

Shane Smith of Toogoolawah has been a 

Carinity Our House client for almost a decade. 

While Covid19, Coronavirus and 

contact tracing are some of the 

‘C’ words which have become 

common in lexicon lingo of late, 

countdown, Christmas concert 

and choral singing by the choir 

will hopefully become the new ‘C’ 

words of choice. 

The confidence and skills Shane has 

developed has helped to create opportunities 

such as a volunteering role at the Gatton 

Transport Museum and obtaining his learner’s 

license to drive trucks. 

Completing life-skills courses also empowered 

Shane to form a catering group, dubbed the 

Lunch ‘n’ Kings, which published their own 

cookbook. 

“Our House has supported me to learn 

everyday life skills which has assisted me 

with my 

independence. 

I have also 

learned social 

skills. I’ve come 

along way with 

my confidence 

over the years,” 

Shane says.

The new Shallcross Bridge has

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for

Bridges Renewal Program (BRP). 

“This program funds the upgrade and

“Sixty-five jobs were supported over the life of

For many years, customers of 

the Coominya Post Office have 

complained of limited parking 

and obstruction by other vehicles, 

and at last change is on its way. 

The post office in Coominya has a limited 

number of spaces available directly in front 

of it, forcing elderly and disabled customers 

to park further away or cross the road when 

these parking spaces are used by vehicles that 

aren’t visiting the post office. 

Officers from the Somerset Regional Council 

recently investigated the area, noting that 

visitors to the nearby café, and even delivery 

trucks servicing the café, would sometimes 

park directly in front of the post office despite 

ample parking space elsewhere on the street, 

obstructing these parking spaces and at times 

partially blocking the post office driveway for 

anywhere between fifteen and forty minutes. 

At their meeting last week, the SRC voted 

to enact new changes to the parking spaces 

nearby, repainting lines and placing signage 

that would turn the area in front of the post 

office into a loading zone with a fifteenminute 

maximum parking time during 

business hours. 

Cr. Sean Choat praised the decision, noting 

that similar measures had proven successful 

elsewhere in the region in the past. 

“This has been a really great move,” he said. 

“It worked very well in Lowood, for businesses 

and residents, and I think it will do the same 

here.”

A LAWYER AND A DOCTOR 

A lawyer was cross-examining the 

doctor about whether or not he had 

checked the pulse of the deceased 

before he signed the death certificate. 

“No,” the doctor said. “I did not check 

his pulse.” “And did you listen for a 

heartbeat?” asked the lawyer. “No I 

did not,” the doctor said. “So,” said the 

lawyer, “when you signed the death 

certificate, you had not taken steps to 

make sure he was dead.” The doctor 

said, “Well, let me put it this way. The 

man’s brain was in a jar on my desk 

but, for all I know, he could be out 

practicing law somewhere.” 

THE SUPERBOWL TICKET 

John received a free ticket to the Super 

Bowl. Unfortunately. John’s seat was 

in the last row in the corner of the 

stadium. He was closer to the Goodyear 

Blimp than the stadium. He noticed an

empty seat 10 rows up from the 50- 

yard line. He decides to make his way 

to the empty seat. As he sits down he 

asks the man next to him if anyone is 

sitting there. The man told him no, it 

was empty. John is very excited to have 

a seat like this at a Super Bowl and asks 

why in the world no one is using it? 

The man replied that it was his wife’s 

seat but she passed 

away. He said this 

was the first Super 

Bowl that they 

have not attended 

together since they 

were married in 

1968. John said that 

it was really sad and 

asked if he couldn’t 

find someone, a 

relative or a close 

friend to take the 

seat? 

“No” replied the 

man, “They’re at her 

funeral!”

The Tigers were on the road on Saturday playing against Helidon. 

The Tigers won the toss and Brodie who was Captain chose to bat first. 

Jai and Nate opened the batting for the team and scored 9 and 6 respectively. 

Billy was in next and had a very good innings top scoring with a well-played 41 which included 

a few six's and fours , Isaac joined him and added 20 runs to form a good partnership between 

the two batsmen. 

Joe had another good innings with the bat scoring a well-earned 31. 

Brodie added 15 to the tally with some very good shot selections , Dean backed that up with 

6 and Griffin closed out the innings with 9. 

A good innings by the Tigers for the loss of only four wickets. 

A short drinks break and the Tigers took to the field as the morning started to warm up. 

The Helidon batsmen got off to a good start but as the innings progressed the Tigers bowlers 

managed to reduce the run rate. 

Nate , Isaak , Brodie and Griffin each took one wicket , included in that were some very good 

run outs. 

It was a very evenly matched game on a very hot day and a big effort by the players , however 

in the end Helidon got the win by just three runs. 

Esk and District Tigers 4 - 140 Helidon 4 - 143. 

Player of the match was Billy top scoring with 41 and some economical bowling figures of 

0-16. 

One more game next week before the school holidays break and a well earned rest for the 

kids. 

The Tigers will be at home in Toogoolawah. 

Great effort by the kids and thanks to all the parents that helped on the day. 

Esk1 had yet another home game this week against Gatton Fordsdale. 

Sam was captain for the day and after attending the toss we were sent into bat. 

A changeup in the batting order saw Carter and Paul open the batting. 

Carter thrived scoring a rapid fire 20 runs. Paul (4) was a brick wall in defence as usual keeping 

the Gatton bowlers at bay. Pip was next to the crease and she meant business, hitting her first 

three deliveries for four to finish up with 23 runs. Next up was Maddie who was on debut. 

Maddie was like a rabbit between the wickets running 11 singles. 

The ever reliable Grace (12), Sam (6) an Holly (12)followed. Poppy also on debut wasn’t going 

to outdone by her sister. Poppy hit three fours off the cone to reach a great score of 17. Louis 

hit two sixes on his way to 27 and Ben (24) gave us the big finish we needed to end up with 

5/156. 

Captain of the day Sam opened the bowling and kept things tight. Our fielding was on fire 

with Carter, Ben and Louis all claiming run outs. 

The game was in the balance with a few overs to go until Grace answered the call with two 

wickets in her last over. Louis followed this up with another two wickets in hisn last over 

including taking middle stump out of the ground with the last delivery of the match. 

We had got home by restricting Gatton to 8/120. Pip was named player of the match for her 

great batting and fielding. 

A big thankyou to all the parents for helping throughout the morning. 

This week is our last game before we break for Summer holidays. We take on Forest Hill at their 

home ground. Lets hope it’s not too hot!

Today’s game a bit different, whereby players can add their handicap to the course par of 69. 

Then play using the handicap on each hole to gain a plus score. A bit of strategy is required to 

make sure all the shots are used before the 18th hole. Brett Tumney having the best strategy 

to take a good win, also taking out the Esk Friendly Grocer Sponsored 4/13 pin shot. Gerry 

getting back into some form taking R/UP spot and the pin shot on 2/11. Bebe Stevens our 

only Lady player today just missing out after playing well. Heinz having a nightmare with -10, 

reckon he should change his teacher, cos he has regular lessons. Shaun and Chris taking the 

other pin shots.

Hi there Somerset, 

I drove to Caboolture once last week and 

to Toogoolawah twice and both times I 

nearly got wiped out by people speeding or 

overtaking dangerously. 

During the 12 years I worked for Government 

traveling to Caboolture I could always see a 

trend in people’s behavior and especially 

their driving during the month prior to 

Christmas. 

Its almost like everybody is on superfast 

mode but you know, it doesn’t have to be 

like that. 

Christmas and New Year consist of 5 days – 

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 

New Years Eve and New Years Day. So why 

do we all shop for 5 weeks and 50 extra 

people and sanitise the whole house. 

So I am asking you Somerset TO SLOW 

DOWN! Me included. 

We all love seeing our family at Christmas 

but this is also what brings out a lot of stress 

in people – the preparation. Extra cleaning, 

extra shopping, extra chores, extra cooking, 

extra people in our space. Did you know 

its OK to spend Christmas with JUST your 

immediate family (or even no family and 

just friends) You can do the family gathering 

earlier in December. Did you know it’s OK 

to ask others to contribute to the food 

(making it or financial) and the BIG ONE – 

did you know you can put a time limit on the 

visits? That’s why people have Happy Hour 

– people can remain happy for one hour of 

company!!!! 

So my tips to surviving the holidays 

• Go for a walk if it all becomes too much - 

ALONE 

• Find a quite space to relax and let people 

know you need an hour OUT 

• Ring a positive friend for a chat but also 

limit that time 

• Ask yourself ‘Am I repeating what I do every 

year and every year I am not happy doing it’ 

and then make an effort to change it. 

• Slow down – you are on a break also so 

your steps don’t have to be the usual 10,000 

per day. 

• Hydrate your body especially if you are 

drinking alcohol. Dehydration causes 

irritability. 

And Somerset remember: 

If you’re finding it hard to cope, you might 

like to talk to someone who’s not so close to 

the situation. Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 or 

Lifeline 13 11 14 both have counsellors who 

are available 24 hours a day, so feel free to 

call them if you feel overwhelmed.
