Boys’ and Girls’ Brigades in Crows Nest - a real credit

A letter from former Crows Nest Lutheran Pastor Frank Rasenberger to the 1st Crows Nest Boys Brigade and read at the Brigade’s 20th anniversary celebrations

Dear Captain, Officers and

boys, My congratulations to

you and our wonderful God on

attaining by His grace the 20th

anniversary of 1st Crows Nest

Boys Brigade.

It was wonderful to hear from

your Captain, Mr Genrich, about

Email: rebecca.goodwill2019@yahoo.com

today’s event. I would have so

loved to be there with you in

person.

I attended the 10th anniversary

celebrations, making the

trip from Gympie, but it is more

difficult to do so from my current

location in the western side

of Melbourne, Victoria - the

world’s most locked down city.

I remember the early days of

Crows Nest Boys Brigade with

great fondness.

The late Ray Macdonald,

one of the elders of St Luke’s

Lutheran Church, and I were

approached by John and Yvette

Hislop about the possibility of

St Luke’s congregation hosting

a local Boys Brigade.

The wonderful ministry of

Girls Brigade, hosted by the

Uniting Church in Crows Nest,

had for several years made such

an impact on the daughters of

several families in the town,

and these families wanted to

give their sons and other boys

a similar opportunity with the

establishment of a local Boys

Brigade.

Ray and I presented the vision

to the St Luke’s Church Council

and received enthusiastic support

from the late chair, Ivan

Vonhoff, and Council members.

The wider congregation also

caught the vision, and ‘the rest is

history’ as they say.

John Hislop became our company’s

first captain, Ray was

asked to become an officer and

I was asked to be the company’s

first chaplain and so our training

began.

The training I was given for

my role as chaplain was very

helpful and strongly centred in

God’s Word, the Bible.

Other members of the congregation

and wider community

also trained as officers, helpers

or committee members. Aaron

and Shelley Cook were big

supporters from the very start –

Aaron serving as helper and then

officer. There are so many others

I could mention, but my memory

fails me.

Our second Captain, Andrew

Reinke and his wife Christine,

faithfully built on what John and

the company had established

and the number of boys who attended

also increased.

After Anne, Josiah and I

moved to my third parish in

Gympie, I was contacted by an

officer from the Boys Brigade

headquarters in Brisbane.

He, along with another officer,

visited me in Gympie about the

possibility of establishing a local

Boys Brigade.

I arranged for him to speak to

the pastors of Gympie at one of

their fellowship meetings, but

sadly no church there caught the

vision for it.

The reason I share this is to

make the point that it’s a real

credit to the churches and community

of a town the size of

Crows Nest to establish both a

Girls Brigade and a Boys Brigade.

May our Lord continue to lead

and guide you all in the work

you do for your great Captain

of your souls, the Lord Jesus

Christ. - Pastor Frank Rasenberger

Toowoomba show society bids

for 2032 Olympics

Chamber of Commerce

launch

The Royal Agricultural

Society of Queensland has

been working with Equestrian

Queensland to develop and

world-class facility in a bid to

have Toowoomba Showgrounds

included in the 2032 Olympics.

RASQ CEO Damon Phillips

said RASQ and Equestrian

Queensland have been working

closely to develop a proposed

Equine Centre of Excellence.

“Toowoomba is the equine

centre of the state. We hold more

equestrian events at local, state

and national levels than anywhere

else in Queensland,” Mr

Phillips said.

“We have a lot of infrastructure

in place with a lot of the pavilions

and we just need to activate

some other areas to develop

the Equine Centre of Excellence

in the lead-up to the Olympics.

“Whether that means we become

the base for hosting Olympic

teams or stage Olympic

events which are the things we

are looking for.”

To activate the areas that are

in place, the RASQ is looking

at attracting more events to the

showgrounds.

Mr Phillips said the

Toowoomba Showgrounds was

ideal to house the horses for the

Olympics.

“Imagine trying to house 250

to 300 horses in the middle of

Brisbane.

“They’re looking at running

a number of the events at the

RNA Showgrounds in Victoria

Park but a lot of the Olympics in

these cities base their teams outside

the city,” he said.

“Toowoomba is the perfect

place with Wellcamp, the horses

can fly straight in, be housed

here and trucked down to compete

and then go back home

again. It makes sense to situate

it in Toowoomba.

“There are back-up plans

which are Sydney Olympic Park

at this stage.

“Well, we have to make the

Equine Centre of Excellence

the back-up for the ’32 Olympic

Games.”

Mr Phillips said Equine

Queensland was supportive of

the Toowoomba equine centre.

“They know Toowoomba has

the infrastructure.

“They know the proximity to

the airport and the facilities that

Toowoomba has in accommodation,”

he said.

“The government keeps

talking about this being not

just a game for Brisbane but

all of Queensland, particularly

South East Queensland in which

Toowoomba is a major player.

Mr PHILLIPS

Perfect venue

That and we think we deserve

an opportunity to host those

teams.” - Sean White

Mayor urges all to get vaccinated

As Queensland prepares to

re-open its borders, Toowoomba

Regional Council Mayor Paul

Antonio is urging residents to

get vaccinated.

“Since the beginning of last

year, the response from our residents

in the Toowoomba region

has been nothing short of incredible,”Cr

Antonio said.

“We’ve managed to do an

exceptional job to keep COVID

out of our community, but with

the borders re-opening soon,

there is no doubt the risk to

Queensland and this community

will increase.

“You only have to look at

what’s happened in Goondiwindi

over the past week to realise

there could be cases pop up at

any time.

“Fortunately for Goondiwindi,

the community has a high

vaccination rate and as such, has

managed to avoid a larger outbreak

so far.

“To make sure we’re also prepared

for any future risks, I implore

all residents who are able

to, to get vaccinated as soon as

possible.

“Our health professionals,

who have done an amazing job

looking after us, have assured

us that the vaccination is safe,

free and our best line of defence

against COVID.

“It’s now easier than ever to

get vaccinated. Vaccines are

available at various doctors’ surgeries

and at Queensland Government

hubs across the Region.

Details on where you can get

vaccinated across the region can

be found at qld.gov.au/health/

conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/protect-yourself-others/covid-19-vaccine/

book/vaccination-locations.

“It’s also been great to see the

Bush VaxBus travelling throughout

the rural towns of the Darling

Downs over the past week.

“I hope this facility has made

it easier for people to roll up

their sleeves and get vaccinated.

Details on when the Bush

VaxBus will be in your area can

be found at ddwmphn.com.au/

vaxbus.

“It’s crucial we have as many

people vaccinated as possible,

before December 17.”

In addition to the vaccine,

COVID-19 booster shots are

now available at all vaccination

hubs.

State Government eases restrictions

at 80 per cent vaccinated

UNVACCINATED able to ACCESS ESSENTIAL SERVICES

The Queensland Government has unveiled new

measures that will come in to effect next month,

opening up most of the state to those vaccinated.

On Tuesday, November 9, the Government announced

pubs, clubs, nightclubs and music venues

will be freed of all restrictions, provided all patrons

and staff are fully vaccinated.

The measures will take effect from Friday, December

17, or once the State reaches 80 per cent

of eligible Queenslanders fully vaccinated whichever

comes first and affect everyone 16 years of

age and older.

From December 17, Queensland government

stadiums will be for fully vaccinated only including

staff, this includes sport events and concerts.

Hospitality venues including clubs, hotels, bars,

restaurants and cafes will be open only to vaccinated

staff and patrons.

Entertainment venues including live music and

karaoke bars will be for vaccinated staff and patrons

only.

Music festivals both indoor and outdoor will be

for vaccinated staff, performers and patrons only.

Government-owned galleries, museums and libraries

will be for vaccinated only.

No COVID limit on weddings where all attendees

are vaccinated.

These measurements also require visitors to

aged care, hospitals, prisons and disability services

to be fully vaccinated with the exception of

end of life, childbirth or emergencies.

The Government has reiterated that police will

enforce the requirements of the venues.

While unvaccinated people will be unable to

enjoy the same measures as those who are double

vaccinated, they will still be able to access essential

services and activities.

Both fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people

will be able to access essential services and activities.

This means unvaccinated people will still be

able to go to grocery stores, pharmacies, post offices,

newsagents and clothing stores, and participate

in activities like going to the gym for exercise.

Capacity restrictions may still be in place at

these types of businesses.

People will still need to check-in to venues. This

is important to support contact tracing if there is a

case at a venue. Vaccinated people can still carry

the virus, although the risk is reduced.

Hand crafted stockman’s whips

UNFURLING a WHIP and SEEING it CRACK

For nearly 30 years Pat O’Sullivan,

Toowoomba, has kept the

tradition of hand-crafted stockman’s

whips alive, perfecting

his craft each day.

Mr O’Sullivan started leatherworking

after he retired from

real estate in 1992, setting up his

own business, Stockwhips for

Stockman, and has created more

than 5000 whips.

He said a lot of the progress

he made working whip plaiting

came from trial and error.

“They say you should keep

the first whip you ever plaited

but I never want to see the first

hundred I made ever again,” Mr

O’Sullivan laughs.

“The trick to having a good

whip is to have it properly balanced.

“The whip should do the

work; you don’t want it coming

back at you like a black snake.”

Mr O’Sullivan attributes his

passion for whips to when he received

one from a neighbour as

a gift as a child growing up in

Greenmount.

During his time in the country

he bred and exhibited stud Australian

Illawarra Shorthorn and

Poll Hereford cattle and won

many milking competitions.

Upon starting his business,

Mr O’Sullivan transformed his

garage into his workshop working

with kangaroo leather for his

craft.

“Roo skin is the best leather

to work with, not only is it the

strongest leather, it is also one of

the softest,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“A lot of whip makers won’t

pass on their tips of the trade and

so a lot of what I have learnt over

the years has been self-taught.

Pat O’Sullivan

Whip maker

“You never finish learning no

matter what you do.

“I have achieved a lot of

things in my life but I’m most

excited unfurling a whip and

seeing it crack.” - Sean White

New cafe opens at Crows Nest

Crows Nest has welcomed the

latest addition to the business

scene with the opening of new

café Harper’s Country.

Owners Shane and Tracey

Ford opened the café at the old

Crows Nest Cordial factory on

Thursday, November 4, to a

warm reception.

The couple acquired the factory

building in November 2020

and have spent a year turning the

building into a café.

“Since we opened the doors,

the community has been welcoming

and positive about what

we’re doing,” Mrs Ford said.

“We wanted to have a café

for about a year and when the

opportunity presented itself we

took a leap of faith.

“The name of the café is inspired

by our children Harry and

Piper.”

Mrs Ford said she and Shane

wanted to create a space in

Crows Nest for people to have

a great cup of coffee and enjoy

their day.

“We’re gauging what customers

want as we move into the future

and we’ll continue to grow,”

she said.

talented young artists were

acknowledged in the awards

ceremony today, with around

$25,000 awarded to 30 students

who come from areas including

Toowoomba, Kingaroy, Nanango

and Clifton.

The bursaries are presented

with the aim of developing skills

and giving new experiences

to young artists who demonstrate

talent, involvement, and

achievement in a performing arts

discipline.

This year’s recipients will attend

short courses at Australian

Ballet, National Institute of Dramatic

Arts, Empire Youth Arts,

Queensland Theatre, Western

Australian Academy of Performing

Arts, Queensland Conservatorium,

and more.

With the exception of the 2020

round, the bursary program has

offered courses each year in a

wide range of disciplines including

dance, acting, instrumental

music, singing, music theatre,

film and television

Since 2010, more than 450

bursaries have been awarded.

Empire Theatres Foundation

chairperson Janelle Fletcher said

the importance of programs such

as the Empire Youth Bursaries

was greater than ever as we navigate

the fallout of the pandemic.

“Keeping everything our

communities have experienced

in mind, and as we look to the

future, it’s so important to embrace

and invest in the arts,” Ms

Fletcher said.

“So often when we interview

these young people, so many

of them say they have found

their place, whether that be in a

play, performing in an orchestra,

whatever it may be, they

talk to us of being accepted and

embraced in a way they don’t

necessarily find in other areas of

their lives.”

Ms Fletcher said this year’s

recipients were highly talented

and ambitious young performers

and creatives.

“This year, like other years,

we were looking for someone

who was engaged in the arts and

was self-motivated; not necessarily

someone looking to forge

a career in their discipline but

always someone who wants to

give to the arts long term,” she

said.

“Some recipients experiencing

financial hardship received

additional assistance towards

travel and accommodation.”

Ms Fletcher thanked the businesses

and donors whose ongoing

support makes bursaries

possible.

is sponsored by Bernoth

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2021 HIGHFIELDS

Highfields pays tribute to the fallen

The Highfields community

gathered on Thursday morning

to pay respects to those who lost

their lives in service during Australia’s

military conflicts.

Highfields RSL Sub Branch

organised last week’s Remembrance

Day ceremony with representatives

from Highfields

State School, Mary McKillop

Catholic College, Highfields’

emergency services and community

groups attending the event

at Sean McCarthy Way.

MC Peter Fisher said Remembrance

Day was to remember

those who served the nation and

never returned.

“We also remember those who

did return, bearing the physical

and mental scars of armed conflict,”

he said.

“We’ve promised them and

their loved ones they would never

be forgotten.

“War, in any form is a dreadful

thing, yet there have been

times in the past and regretfully

probably into the future when

such a stand is essential for freedom

and the democratic society

we enjoy today.”

More than 100,000 Australian’s

have lost their lives

throughout Australia’s conflict

history from WWI and WWII,

Vietnam War, War in Iraq and

various peace keeping missions.

“While we remember those

who never returned, we have a

duty to look after anyone who

has served in the Australian Defence

Force,” Mr Fisher said.

“The current needs of our

veterans are demonstrated by a

tragic and alarming spike in suicides,

unemployment and homelessness.

As a society we can,

and must, do better to look after

and support them.

“Let us reflect on the service

of all servicemen and women,

especially those that never came

home.” - Sean White

Camp oven cookout at the Crows Nest museum

HOPING TO HOLD

MORE EVENTS

The Crows Nest Museum and Historical Village

held a trial exploring new possibilities for the museum

to hold evening events in the future.

On Friday, October 29, the historical society

held a camp oven cookout for the Redcliffe Probus

Club.

Society president Leanne Murphy said October’s

cook out was a trial to use the museum’s facility

for more events.

“We have been very blessed to have Michael

Patch join our organisation.

“Michael’s father Geoff Patch was a founding

member of the museum,” she said.

“Michael’s expertise in camp oven cooking has

seen him professionally catering events around

the region.

“We greatly appreciate having him joining our

group as a volunteer and sharing his expertise.”

About 35 members from the Redcliffe Probus

travelled to Crows Nest for the cookout.

“This one was an initial trial to see how we need

to transfer this organisation to be business capable,”

Mrs Murphy said.

“One of those things would be an upgrade to

the power here and we’re hoping Minister for

Agriculture David Littleproud will consider an

application for funding from the next round in the

Building Better Regions fund.

“We’re definitely looking at holding more

evening events such as camp oven cookouts or a

murder mystery event which will incorporate the

community.” - Sean White

People and pig power earn $50,000 for cancer care

When the people from Quinalow,

Maclagan and beyond

joined forces for fun and fundraising,

they were immensely

successful, collecting $50,000

for St Andrews cancer care and

the Queensland Cancer Council.

The driving force was the Riethmuller

family of Maclagan,

and more than 700 people from

a wide area joined them in a day

of pig racing at the Quinalow

Hotel.

The charity day was in memory

of the late Wayne Jacko Riethmuller

who died in 2015. It

was the sixth fundraiser by Jenny

Riethmuller and her children

Craig, Bryce and Courtney.

Last week, Jenny presented

cheques for $25,000 to

St Andrews cancer care in

Toowoomba, and $25,000 to the

Queensland Cancer Council.

Because Jacko loved wearing

Hawaiian shirts, Jenny’s fundraising

ventures have been titled

Jacko’s Hawaiian Bowls Day,

with the first few at the Peranga

Bowls Club.

But Covid forced a change

and in 2020 and charity pig races

were held in the grounds of the

Quinalow Hotel.

On October 16, the 700 people

who attended generously contributed

$50,000.

Jenny said 95 per cent of this

money was raised on the day. It

was double that raised in 2020.

Councils discuss water security

with Deputy Prime Minister

The Southern Queensland Inland

and New South Wales Border

Regional Water Alliance last

Tuesday updated Deputy Prime

Minister Barnaby Joyce on the

group’s plans for the area’s longterm

water security.

The online meeting with Mr

Joyce, who was in Tenterfield,

was arranged following the alliance’s

discussion with the

Queensland Minister for Regional

Development, Manufacturing

and Water Glenn Butcher

at Toowoomba City Hall in late

September.

Alliance chair and Toowoomba

Region Mayor Paul Antonio

said the attendees appreciated

the chance to tell Mr Joyce about

their commitment to find regional

water solutions that would

support future growth.

He said the alliance would

continue to engage with respective

state governments and the

Commonwealth Government to

advance plans for delivering future

water supplies.

“The mayors are mindful of

the need to consider not only our

urban water needs ut the future

water sources that will underpin

our productive agricultural areas

and future business and industry

expansion,” Cr Antonio said.

“Co-operation between the

three levels of government will

be a key feature of finding solutions

and identifying new water

sources. The alliance welcomes

Mr Joyce’s advice around the

best ways to present our options

and how to proceed with a broad

vision.”

Cr Antonio said South Burnett

Regional Council and Banana

Shire Council also had indicated

their willingness to be included

in ongoing discussions about future

water security.

The meeting included Mayor

Peter Petty, Tenterfield Shire

Council, Mayor Vic Pennisi,

Southern Downs Regional

Council, Mayor Lawrence

Springborg, Goondiwindi Regional

Council, and Western

Downs Regional Council Deputy

Mayor Cr Andrew Smith,

who was deputising for Mayor

Paul McVeigh. Lockyer Valley

Regional Council Mayor Tanya

Milligan was an apology.

New obstacle course at Toowoomba showground

The Royal Agricultural Society of Queensland

unveiled its new gruelling obstacle course at the

Toowoomba Showground last week.

Minister for Tourism, Innovation and Sport

Stirling Hinchliffe and RASQ CEO Damon Phillips

opened the Wilderness Challenge on Tuesday

afternoon.

The Wilderness Challenge is a 5km out and

back course that contains 10 obstacles such as

rock wall climb, monkey bars, cargo net and more.

The obstacle course was under construction for

two years and was built by the RASQ’s staff.

Mr Phillips said the project was inspired from

the popular television shows like Ultimate Ninja

Warrior and SAS Australia.

“We have a great area here that is being unutilised

in the bushland at our southern and western

boundaries,” he said.

“The RASQ applied for a State Government

grant through the Department of Sport a couple

of years ago which we were successful in getting

that.

“Everything was put on hold as we were planning

for the show and then COVID hit.

“We were fortunate enough to work with the

department to allow our grounds crew to build

majority of these obstacles which allowed us to

keep them employed through the first six months

of COVID, so that partnership with the department

was vital getting this project going.

The RASQ received a grant for $96,500 from

the department for the project with the show society

pitching in for the additional cost for steel.

“We lost a substantial amount of money during

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

Beauty and the Beast

Written around 1750, Beauty and the Beast is

a timeless tale containing many life lessons. One

of them is the power we each have within us to

change for the better.

A struggle goes on inside all of us. We want to

be all the good things that we know we are capable

of, but often we fall short of that goal. Life is

full of challenges that bring out both the best and

the worst in us. The apostle Paul writes about this

struggle in Romans chapter 7.

This old story about two wolves puts it very

aptly:

A Cherokee elder was teaching his children

about life. He said to them. “A terrible fight is going

on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves.

One is the wolf of joy, love, hope, kindness and

compassion. The other is the wolf of fear, anger,

selfishness, pride, and greed. The same fight is going

on inside of you, and every other person too.”

The children thought about it for a moment,

then one child asked. “Which wolf will win?”

The elder replied. “Whichever one you feed.”

Feeding the good inside us is not always easy to

do, but it leads us into a more happy and peaceful

life. It can take determination on our part to constantly

work at bringing out the best in ourselves.

Telling friends about our decision and inviting

them to pull us up if they hear us ‘feeding’ the

wrong wolf, is a great way of working together to

better our lives. Whether we are speaking about

ourselves or others, the same principle applies.

We could use these words from this beautiful

old song as a prayer for God’s help: Change my

heart O God, make it ever true. Change my heart

O God, may I be like you. Amen

We pray that God would strengthen you in your

inner man if your desire is to work on bringing out

the best in yourself.

If you prayed this prayer and would like to let us

know please ring David Hiscock on 0448 982 919

COVID with the Toowoomba Show being cancelled

six days out which was probably a loss of

$350,000, this grant enabled us to keep our staff

going and adds another asset to the showgrounds

for Toowoomba community enjoy.”

Mr Hinchliffe said the course was a great display

how government funding could help organisations

and deliver great outcomes to the community.

“We see this providing a really innovative exercise

opportunity for the people here in the Darling

Downs but also the facilities for events in the future,”

Mr Hinchliffe said.

“There is no question that one of the biggest

challenges show societies across the state have

is keeping their own capability going during the

tough time of the pandemic.

“What the Toowoomba show society did very

well was work with the State Government to make

sure they could use this project to sustain their

staff and that made a difference keeping the team

intact for the facility and make them ready for

what 2022 has in store for them.”

The Wilderness Challenge obstacle course is

free to use at the Toowoomba Showgrounds.

Toowoomba Quota closes after 32 years

Quota International of

Toowoomba, active in local

community service for 32 years,

has closed as at September 30,

2021.

Increasing public liability insurance

costs, ageing and infirm

members and COVID restrictions

have all contributed to a

decision by members to finish

their volunteer and donations

work.

There are, however, some

lasting legacies of this women’s

service club which will still be

evident to Toowoomba people.

Their Lavender Pillows project

for breast cancer patients

at the three Toowoomba hospitals

will be continued by the

Toowoomba Soroptimists club

with Quota funding.

Two previous Quota members,

Lyn Crighton and Margaret

Schulz, began the production

in 2008 assisted by Gwenda

Williams, a current member.

Many warm thank-you notes

have been received over the

years from patients who appreciated

a little Quota care.

To quote: “Thank you for the

lovely gift. It was so lovely to

receive it in hospital when I felt

so sick and the perfume of the

lavender just seemed to calm me

down. You girls are really God’s

helpers here on earth.

“I was very humbled on receiving

your gift. I felt it was

very personal and made me feel

very special and important. It

Get moving and get healthy is a message

being given to people in Toowoomba region, and

preparing for the Peak2Park run/walk on March 6,

2022, is a way to start.

Troy Parsons from major sponsor Optimise

Health in Toowoomba said you have to get fit for

the event. Preparing a week or two beforehand in

February was too late.

He said running groups were helping people

to get started. Companies and businesses are

expected to have training programs for staff for

the corporate challenge.

Chairman of Peak2Park event Troy Morgan said

the March run would be the 16th. It was cancelled

in 2021 because of the Covid virus.

Norman Purcival, Diggermate and Will Western,

Communications and Computer Support

Get moving, get healthy and

train for Peak2Park

Troy Morgan has been involved in all 16 runs,

which cover a route from Picnic Point to Lake

Annand on East Creek. There are 10km and 4km

runs and walks.

About 4000 people are expected to participate.

The event promotes a healthy lifestyle in a fun,

social way, to get active and include exercise as

part of a daily routine.

All funds raised from Peak2Park go to local

charities and this year’s beneficiary charities are

Top Blokes, Sunrise Way and Ability Enterprises.

Louise Sanderson from Sunrise Way said there

was a plan to expand services, particularly with an

Women celebrate with long lunch at Dalby Stockhorse sale

held over lunch on Saturday,

December 4, at

the 2021 Dalby Stockhorse

Sale being held

at the Dalby Events

Centre.

QRRWN President

Julie Mayne said the

event would offer a

cool oasis for visitors

to the Stockhorse Sale

and any other interested

ladies from the region.

“Attendees will enjoy

canapes and drinks

on arrival, a fashion

parade from Western

Downs local business

Spinifex and Co, an inspirational

special guest

speaker, Alexandra

Hindle, live music and

a delicious sit-down

two course lunch,” she

said.

“We held a successful

long lunch to celebrate

International Womens’

Day earlier this year in

Dulacca, and everyone

loved the opportunity to

escape from their daily

routine and connect, socialise

and catch-up in a

friendly and energised

environment.

“It is wonderful that

we have the opportunity

to host another event,

this time in Dalby,” Julie

said.

Past president of QR-

RRWN, volunteer for

DDASHS and event organiser

Alison Mobbs,

Norco posts record

$12.7 million profit

Norco has boosted its net

profit by $7.3 million to

$12.7 million for the 2020-

21 financial year, a record

for the 126-year-old dairy

cooperative.

Norco is Australia’s

largest dairy co-operative.

grew 22.4 per cent, and

now account for $189.4

welcome visitors, such

as those coming for the

sale.

“Our guest speaker,

Alexandra Hindle,

has such an interesting

story of love and

life across the world;

growing up an hour

out of Charleville as

a distance education

student, travelling to

Europe and then living

and starting a business

in Mexico, she is such

a positive role model

for women from rural

areas,” she said.

“Alexandra is a living

example that shows

anything is possible, no

matter where you grow

up.”

Children’s activities

will be offered by a professional

provider in a

separate section of the

venue.

It is hoped the event

will become a regular

CEO Michael Hampson

said all divisions performed

better than last year, and

significantly better than the

year before.

Mr Hampson said the

average base milk price

for suppliers dropped

from 70.63 cents a litre to

70.01 and the total average

member returns decreased

from 71.60 to 70.83.

But Mr Hampson

said Norco had already

reinvested nearly $5 million

into future milk prices to

farmers, increasing milk

prices twice by around 2.5

cents a litre depending on

the level of fat and protein

in the milk, and Norco will

report a record price for the

2021-22 year.

FARMING

Landholders urged to watch for Parthenium

Toowoomba Region

landholders

are being urged to

remain vigilant for

outbreaks of invasive

weeds, particularly

Parthenium, following

recent rain.

Toowoomba Regional

Council Parks and

Recreation Services

portfolio leader Cr

Tim McMahon said

landholders near Nobby

and the urban fringes

around Toowoomba

and Highfields should

check for the invasive

weed. Outbreaks also

could occur along the

Warrego Highway.

Cr McMahon said

new germinations were

present in the above

areas and Council

officers were working

with landholders in

the area to manage the

latest outbreaks.

“While the weed is

still at the rosette stage,

it is expected to flower

by the end of the month,

which will require

quick treatment to

prevent further spread,”

Cr McMahon said.

“At early stages,

Parthenium is easily

controlled with herbicides.

“Due to the weed’s

ability to reproduce

quickly (it can produce

viable seeds within four

weeks of germination),

untreated plants can

escalate to large-scale

outbreaks which are

much more difficult and

costly to control.

“Delaying control

measures could require

restricted movement

of stock, fodder and

machinery in infected

areas.”

Cr McMahon said

while there had been

sporadic outbreaks of

Parthenium in recent

years, the invasive

weed was believed

to have been recently

re-introduced via the

movement of drought

fodder from outside the

region.

“Parthenium is a

Category 3 restricted

invasive plant under

the Biosecurity Act

2014. Everyone has a

General Biosecurity

obligation to take all

reasonable and practical

steps to minimise the

risks associated with

this invasive plant,” Cr

McMahon said.

“Parthenium is

classified as a weed of

national significance

and is a highly invasive

pest that has overrun

large tracts of land in

Central Queensland.

Parthenium is toxic to

cattle and sheep and

can cause stock to have

allergic skin reactions

when they’re located

in areas infected by the

weed.

“It can be harmful

to people who have

contact with it for

prolonged periods.

“Parthenium

weed can sometimes

be confused with

some ragweeds

Toowoomba leaders for drought program

Two mentors have been selected for the

Toowoomba Region for round one of the Federal

Government’s Future Drought Fund Drought

Resilience Leaders program.

The Government is spending $11 million on

the program which is part of the $5 billion Future

Drought Fund.

Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud

said two mentors have been selected in the

Toowoomba Region in round one of the FDF

Drought Resilience Leaders mentoring program.

“We are partnering with the Australian Rural

Leadership Foundation to create a new generation

of drought resilient leaders,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The mentoring program joins farmers and

those with a close connection to agriculture with

experienced industry professionals for a chance

to learn about drought preparedness from those

who have lived and worked through the issue

themselves.

Member for Groom Garth Hamilton said the

program will bring participants together to share

knowledge and experience.

“Farming skills, including drought resilience,

are passed down from generation to generation.

“This program is about facilitating those

connections to benefit farming communities here

in Toowoomba Region,” Mr Hamilton said.

“The mentoring program will continue with 300

mentees matched with 250 mentors nationally.

I’d encourage any interested farmers and those

employed in the agricultural sector to contact

ARLF to find out how they can get involved.

The Future Drought Fund is creating a new

generation of young and emerging leaders and

encouraging learning and knowledge sharing to

benefit Australian agriculture and the communities

FISHING

CABARLAH FISHING CLUB: The Cabarlah

Fishing Club held their annual general meeting

at the Meringandan Hotel on Saturday, November

7.

Office bearers elected for 2022 were Chop Muir

president, Noel Purcell secretary, Jen Peach treasurer,

and Trevor Gill vice president.

Committee members are Doug Gale, Chris

Mogg, Jake Gill, Andrew Peach, Vince Cormack,

Peter Delima and John Freeman. Auditor is John

Brennan.

The club reported a successful year with good

rollups at most trips. During the year the club

made two donations of $500 each to Glen Lyon

Dam and one of $500 to Coolmunda for fish restocking.

The club’s Christmas party will be held at the

Meringandan Hotel on Saturday, December 4.

CROWS NEST: Leslie Dam was the destination

for the Crows Nest Fishing Club’s October

monthly trip. Three members and one visitor

attended and managed to catch five fish between

them, four Golden Perch and a Cod.

Those who attended had a great time and hopefully

with the predicted rain, we might get a bit

more water into the dams and see a few more coming

along to the monthly club trips.

During the month, Al Limpus was out fishing

Cressbrook Dam again and over three trips managed

to catch 11 legal sized Bass.

Winners for the Leslie Dam trip were first Matt

Kruger, Golden Perch 2.5kg, second Al Limpus,

Golden Perch 1kg, and the attendance draw Graham

Bowen.

There were nil recordings for both freshwater

and saltwater monthly competitions.

The next club trip is to Boondooma Dam on December

3, 4 and 5.

The next raffle date at the Grand Old Crow will

be Friday, December 17.

Club merchandise available for Christmas gift

purchases include limited size club shirts $40 and

stubbie coolers $10.

The club presentation night has been moved to

early 2022 to get away from the busy Christmas

period. The date has yet to be decided.

The next meeting will be held at the Grand Old

Crow Hotel on Wednesday, November 10, at 7pm.

Perch on the October club trip to Leslie Dam.


Millmerran hosted Bowenville

and Kulpi hosted Pittsworth

in Round 2 of the Fiechtner

Family Shield.

MILLMERRAN v.

BOWENVILLE: Coming off a

tough loss to Kulpi in the previous

week,

Bowenville had hopes of

bouncing back against Millmerran,

but having lost the toss

and being sent in to bat, disaster

struck early for the ‘Villians,

losing a wicket in the very first

over.

Things only got worse from

there, with Trent Mullins grabbing

a brilliant hat-trick in his

second over to bring Bowenville

to 4/10 by the end of the fourth

over.

Young-gun Chaz Cheatley

and new recruit Jayden Lee dug

in to see out the opening bowlers

and first changes to make it 4/47

before the next wicket fell.

However, wickets continued

to fall for Bowenville as their

form struggle continued, bowled

out for 97 runs in 27.1 overs.

Chaz Cheatley was the top

scorer with 36 in another disappointing

innings for the young

team.

Best of the bowlers was Trent

Mullins with 3/9 (4), including

his brilliant hat-trick; as well

as Dom Briggs, 2/9 (4); Chris

Devine, 2/15 (4), Stephen Lindeque,

1/5 (1.1); Daniel Betts,

1/11 (3); and James Sinclair,

1/13 (4) who all helped in decimating

Bowenville.

Fall of wickets, 1, 10, 10, 10,

47, 67, 79, 86, 86, 97 (27.1).

With an uphill fight ahead,

Bowenville opened the bowling

with Chaz Cheatley and Isaiah

Gill, with Gill snagging a wicket

in his first over, and Cheatley

a wicket in his second to have

Millmerran 2/6 early.

Leod

Gill picked up a second wicket

shortly after in the eighth over

(3/24), but that would be the last

wicket to fall for Millmerran as

Chris Devine and Luke Saddlier

steadied the ship to chase down

the total, a partnership of 76 for

the fourth wicket duo.

Devine was the gem in the

Millmerran line-up with 72 runs

off 64 balls with Saddlier playing

a good supporting role of 15

from 26.

Isaiah Gill was good in his return

to 40-over cricket with 2/14

(4) with Chaz Cheatley grabbing

the only other wicket, 1/27 (7).

Fall of wickets, 4, 6, 24; 3/100

(19).

It was another tough day for

Bowenville who were simply

outclassed by a superior

Millmerran squad who had a

well-deserved seven wicket win

and the six competition points.

KULPI v. PITTSWORTH:

The final game of the weekend

was played at Goombungee between

Kulpi and Pittsworth and

the visitors won the toss and

elected to bowl.

Corey Dioth and Craig Skuse

opened the batting for Kulpi

with James Cameron and Benno

Gruhl leading the Pittsworth attack

with the ball.

Gruhl struck in his second

over nabbing an early wicket for

Pittsworth to make Kulpi 1/21.

After an eight-over stalemate,

the bowling change of Lachie

Salgado did the trick for Pittsworth

who made another breakthrough.

Marcus Frizzell was the new

bat, and this is where Kulpi took

control, a 53-run partnership for

the third wicket, and Frizzell

would bat on to make 64, top

scoring for Kulpi as they made

their way to 7/211 at the completion

of the 40 overs.

Corey Dioth showed confidence

with the bat, knocking up

37 from the top.

Best bowlers for Pittsworth

were S. Powers, 2/16 (3); Benno

Gruhl, 2/40 (7); Lachie Salgado,

1/19 (4); Chris Bauld, 1/24 (5);

and Isaac Sanders, 1/30 (4).

Fall of wickets, 21, 55, 108,

144, 174, 189, 189; 7/211 (40).

Pittsworth began their chase

by opening with L. McInnes and

Mark Holt, but lost a wicket in

the sixth over at 1/33, and a second

wicket the very next over.

At 2/33 through seven, Pittsworth

needed a partnership to

develop, but the persistent attack

from the Kulpi bowlers prevented

any serious duo to form.

Ed McGinn, once again,

showed class with 44 runs,

batting for 26 overs, however

wickets fell in bunches after his

departure, the Pittsworth side

bowled out for 145 after 37.4

overs.

Best scorers were Ed McGinn

(44) and Jordan O’Shea (33) and

wicket takers for Kulpi were

Dave Sipple, 3/26 (8); Nick

Spies, 1/11 (5); Marcus Frizzell,

1/12 (5); Jack McKewan, 1/22

(6); Lachlan Campbell, 1/33

(6); Corey Dioth, 1/39 (6); and

Jayden Dioth, 1/3 (0.4).

Fall of wickets, 33, 33, 55,

74, 111, 119, 121, 125, 137, 145

(37.4).

The might of the Kulpi bowling

was on show again, they

won the match by 66 runs.

That wraps up Round 2 of

Central Downs Cricket and it’s

Kulpi and Millmerran who occupy

the top of the ladder in

joint first with 12 points each.

Next week sees Millmerran

host Kulpi in the first match

of the week followed by Pittsworth

playing at Oakey against

Bowenville.

TABLE TENNIS

CROWS NEST: We had 35 players compete in

an American doubles tournament on November 8

where an A grade player teamed up with a B grade

player and each person ended up with their own

individual score tally.

Congratulations to Reece Kelk and Grahame

Knight who tied for A grade and Travis Morice for

B grade taking out the trophies. Travis didn’t lose

a game all night.

That wraps up our season for the year, special

thanks to all the committee members and also all

the players for showing up each week and making

it such a successful year.

Looking forward to 2022.

Travis Morice, Grahame Knight

and Reece Kelk

PARKRUN

HIGHFIELDS: November 13 - Event number

285. Due to the wet weather throughout the

week, and Toowoomba Regional Council closing

all sporting fields, Highfields parkrun got to try

out our alternative wet weather course for the first

time.

Seventy-five people ran, jogged and walked

the course, of whom nine were first timers and

18 recorded new personal bests. We welcomed

visitors from Oakey, Ecco Ripley, Southbank and

South Toowoomba. Congratulations to Shane

on 150 parkruns and Craig on 50 parkruns. The

event was made possible by eight volunteers Di

Tumbridge, Tracey Roberts, Catherine Harch,

Alexis Tacey, Heather Bruggemann, Graham

Trigg, Geoff Kapernick and Belinda Lamb.

Full results and a complete event history can

be found on the Highfields parkrun results page.

Highfields parkrun started on October 24, 2015.

Since then, 2612 participants have completed

18,188 parkruns covering a total distance of

90,940 km, including 2867 new personal bests.

A total of 342 individuals have volunteered 2706

times.

Highfields parkrun is a free 5km walk, jog or

run held every Saturday morning at 7am at the

Highfields Sport and Recreation Park, Highfields.
