Members vote on planned merger

Heritage Bank members can now have their

say on the planned merger with People’s Choice

Credit Union, with the distribution of a notice of

meeting and detailed member information booklet

on the proposal that started earlier this month.

The member vote on the merger takes place in

Toowoomba on Wednesday, November 16.

The booklet was distributed to members and

contains comprehensive information about the

merger proposal, and the voting process.

This includes the ability for members to go

online immediately and appoint a proxy to vote

on their behalf.

Heritage Bank CEO Peter Lock urged members

to carefully read the booklet and to make

their vote count.

“We strongly believe the planned merger with

People’s Choice is in the best interests of our

members and the future of Heritage Bank,” Mr

Lock said.

“We’ll gain the added strength needed to deliver

more for our members, while staying true to

our values and our people-first approach.

“People’s Choice is the perfect fit for us. They

are also a mutual, owned by their members, so

they share our values and culture.

Copperbeard orchids in bloom

easily noticed.

These include various small

orchids that flower through this

part of the year.

If there is plenty of organic

matter and good spring moisture,

then the variety of fungii

needed by different orchids can

help them to appear.

Acland go ahead after 15-year fight

NEW ACLAND STAGE 3 THE MOST REVIEWED AND SCRUTINISED RESOURCES PROJECT

IN QUEENSLAND’S HISTORY - NEW HOPE GROUP CEO, ROB BISHOP

New Hope Group’s 15-year

mining approvals battle is over.

The Queensland Government

late last week approved New

Acland Stage 3.

The chief executive of the

Department administered by

Queensland Minister for Water,

Glenn Butcher, granted New

Acland Stage 3 an Associated

Water Licence.

This was the last approval

required after the Government

granted a mining approval some

weeks ago.

New Hope Group CEO, Rob

Bishop said the historic announcement

followed extensive

consultation with Darling

Downs stakeholders, including

the mine’s objectors.

“The Queensland Government’s

decision to approve New

Acland Stage 3 is a defining moment

and is being celebrated by

our workforce, their families,

local farmers, landholders, business

leaders and the local community,”

Mr Bishop said.

“New Acland Stage 3 is

the most reviewed and scrutinised

resources project in

Queensland’s history.

“The Queensland Government

critically assessed the

project and found it stacks up

environmentally, socially and

financially.

“The exhaustive process

was overseen by a host of

Queensland Government Ministers

and countless, hardworking

public servants who evaluated

every aspect of the project and

concluded that New Acland

Stage 3 should go ahead.

Toowoomba Regional Council’s Stakeholder

Engagement Principal Trevor Mitchell has

been awarded Team Member of the Year by the

Queensland Branch of the Institute of Public

Works Engineering Australasia at the 2022

Excellence Awards.

Infrastructure Committee Chair Cr Carol Taylor

said it was fantastic to see staff recognised in this

way.

“Trevor is a dedicated stake-holder engagement

practitioner who has been involved in major

projects such as Flood Recovery and Restoration

Programs, Russell Street Refresh Project, Ruthven

Street North Project, Toowoomba Second Range

Crossing including integrated projects at Mort,

Griffith and Boundary Streets, as well as countless

local projects for our community,” she said.

“His ability to navigate con-flicting stakeholder

interests in supporting the delivery of community

infrastructure is pivotal in the successful delivery

of public works, as well as ensuring our residents

“The Land Court process, the

Coordinator General’s extensive

consultation process, the separate

independent assessments of

the Queensland Department of

Environment and Science and

the Minister for Resources and

now the thorough examination

by the Department of Regional

Development, Manufacturing

and Water has allowed everyone,

including the mine’s objectors,

to be heard.

“The Queensland Government’s


Acland Stage 3 means we can

now restart operations and extend

employment opportunities

to hundreds of local workers.

Mr Bishop said groundwater,

the subject of the Associated

Water Licence application, was

subject to exhaustive reviews,

comment and assessment by independent

experts, peer reviewers,

objectors, State regulators

and Commonwealth agencies,

in advance of, or during, the Associated

Water Licence Application

process.

“Groundwater is regulated by

existing Water Act management

area conditions and conditions

established by the Department

of Regional Development, Manufacturing

and Water, Coordinator

General, the Department of

Environment and Science and

the Federal Minister for the Environment,”

Mr Bishop said.

“These conditions enable

mining to successfully co-exist

with agriculture and support a

broader range of commercial

and employment opportunities

for the community.

“It’s also essential to understand

the New Acland Mine does

not rely on groundwater bores

for any of its mining operations.

“New Acland Mine purchases

all its water requirements from

the Wetalla Wastewater Reclamation

Facility under an existing

long term supply contract

with the Toowoomba Regional

Council.”

The Queensland Government’s


Acland Stage 3 means, local

workers, contractors and local

businesses will benefit to the

tune of $1billion over the life of

the project.

At the peak of construction,

there will be approximately 600

local workers on site at New

Acland Mine. Throughout the

life of the project, the permanent

workforce will be approximately

400 full-time roles, made up of

Darling Downs locals.

ANDREW LANGTON

Oakey Chamber of

Commerce president

are listened to throughout the project.

“The annual IPWEAQ Awards program

recognises the work that engineering professionals

provide for the good of their communities.

"It recognises private and public organisations

and in-dividuals who demonstrate best practice,

innovation and positive community impact in

public works projects across Queensland.

“I would also like to con-gratulate our Council

teams who worked on the Glenvale State School

Carpark Project and Smart Parking Project as they

were finalists in the $1-2 million and $2-5 million

project categories respectively.

“At Council, we have an incredible team that

helps to deliver infrastructure to every part of our

Region.

"It’s rewarding to see them being recognised for

their cont-ribution.

“Without the dedication and hard work of our

staff, we simply wouldn’t be able to service our

Region to such a high standard, Cr Taylor said.

Detectives involved in the joint investigation

by the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch

and the Homicide Investigation Group are hopeful

that the announcement of a Queensland Government

reward of $500,000 will bring in new information

to assist police investigations into the

murder of Krishna Chopra.

On January 31, Krishna Chopra, 61, was found

deceased in her home at Park Road, Crows Nest.

Detective Senior Sergeant Paul McCusker from

the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch

said it was hoped the reward would lead to further

arrests.

“We believe there are people out in the community

who could have information about Krishna’s

murder and that another person or persons were

involved in the planning of this offence,” Detective

Snr Sgt McCusker said.

“I urge anyone who has not already come forward,

Police announce reward for

alleged murder

Goombungee Arts and Cultural

Enterprise Inc. will launch

of their first exhibition as part of

Jacaranda Day next weekend.

A generous offer from the

Goombungee Christian Church

through Pastor Alan Pope has

created new opportunities for

the GACE.

With a lease in place on the

church hall, the group created a

new op shop experience in Not

New.

GACE will host The Exogenisis

Revelations exhibition

by Toowoomba artist Isaya Sikwatta

at the church on Jacaranda

Day, Saturday, November 5.

The exhibition offers a unique

experience into Sikwatta’s African

background, his culture and

art concepts.

Sikwatta said this exhibition

Chopra or visited her house at 5 Park Road, Crows

Nest, to come forward.”

Additionally, anyone who was in the Park Road

area of Crows Nest on January 20, 21 and 22 to

contact police to discuss their observations and

movements.

A $500,000 reward is now in place for information

that leads to the conviction of the person, or

persons, found to be responsible for Ms Chopra’s

murder.

In addition to the reward, an appropriate indemnity

from prosecution will be recommended for

any accomplice, not being the person who actually

committed the crime, who first gives such information.

• In March, a man, 33, was charged in connection

with the alleged murder following a number

of public appeals for information. Investigations

are continuing.

of those times in that stage of our

species when there was no waste

“My African heritage is actually

a collective human heritage

– a time when we used what was

the creation of new product and

before advent of travel to get

what we did not have locally,”

he said.

“Art is a language that puts

this journey into context, in

terms of time, place, space and

form to enable me to be able to

study myself from an observer’s

point of view.”

New venue draws large crowd to Seniors Expo

National Seniors Australia Garden City Branch

president Hazel Gillies was amazed by the attendance

at last week’s Seniors Expo.

The Seniors Expo 2022 opened the doors to

the Founders Pavilion at the Toowoomba Showgrounds

on Thursday.

Mrs Gillies said more than 750 people had

walked through the doors of the expo within the

first two hours of the event.

“The Founder’s Pavilion has provided a fantastic

venue for the expo, it has a lot of space which

allows us to have more vendors as well as plenty

of parking,” she said.

More than 100 vendors were present at the

expo from health products, retirement villages,

lawyers, social clubs, education and more.

“The Toowoomba Seniors Expo gathers all the

pertinent information for seniors, and their relatives

and carers under the one roof,” Mrs Gillies

said.

National Seniors Australia general manager

Chris Grice said it was fantastic to see such large

numbers so early into the day.

“We have 84 branches across the country. In

their own communities they do events just like

this; they’re either providing education or raising

money for charity,” he said.

“Seniors Expo is very much about giving back

to the community and being community-minded

when they’re engaging with their local residences.”

Mrs Gillies said she and the other members of

the Garden City Branch were grateful of the support

the Toowoomba Regional Council provided

for the 2022 Toowoomba Seniors Expo.

TRC Councillor Kerry Shine said the council

Jim Cosgrove and David Utley

Toowoomba City Bowls Club

was proud to partner with the expo for the celebrations

of Queensland Seniors Month.

“I thank the groups who have made this event

possible, particularly the organizing committee,

most notably Hazel Gilles from the National Seniors

Australia Garden City Branch,” Cr Shine

said.

“I also want to acknowledge our senior residents’

contributions across the workforce, in

community and volunteer organisations.” - Sean

Toowoomba Together seeks

award nominations

Local anti-gender-based violence advocacy

group, Toowoomba Together Incorporated is

encouraging the community to place their nominations

for their annual awards ceremony next

month.

Toowoomba Together Incorporated are taking

nominations for the Paul Myatt Memorial Safer

Region Award and the five pillar awards that will

be held during the Community Recognition Evening.

The advocacy organisation was established

in 2006 as the Toowoomba Says No to Violence

movement with the Toowoomba Together campaign

being launched in 2016.

Since its inception, Toowoomba Together aims

to drive social change around domestic and gender-based

violence through education, awareness

campaigns, preventative programs and partnerships.

Toowoomba Together Incorporated chair John

Minz said the five pillar awards were categorised

into health, education, sports, faith, and business/

workplace.

“If you know of an individual or organisation

from the Toowoomba Region who displays an outstanding

commitment to the promotion of non-violence

in our community, please nominate them

for one or more of the awards online,” he said.

The Toowoomba Together Incorporated Community

MENTAL HEALTH

MONTH

October is recognised as Mental Health

month throughout a number of Australian

states.

Here in Queensland, we celebrate Mental

Health Week between 8-16th of October. Mental

Health Week is an annual awareness initiative that

promotes individual and community mental health

and wellbeing and boosts the awareness of mental

illness prevalence within the community.

Research suggests exercise is beneficial for

managing poor mental health. Exercise releases

chemicals like endorphins and serotonin that

improve your mood. It is an excuse to get outside,

reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation

and put you in touch with other people. Regular

exercise is proven to reduce stress and symptoms

of depression and anxiety contributing to helping

achieve recovery from mental health issues.

TRC CEO Brian Pidgeon said

Dr Stepanov had been successful

following a highly competitive

nation-wide recruitment process.

“Dr Stepanov has many years

of experience advising and

working with local governments

at a strategic and expert level,” Mr

Pidgeon said.

“Most recently, Dr Stepanov

was the Queensland Integrity

Commissioner where she provided

advice to local governments on

confidential matters, including

issues related to planning and

development.

“Dr Stepanov brings tremendous

value to our organisation with her

considerable skills and expertise

in ethical leadership, community

engagement, mediation, negotiation

and project delivery.

“Nikola’s extensive experience

and skills will ensure that

the Council’s Planning and

Development Group and the

development industry maintain

a collaborative and constructive

relationship that effectively

balances economic and

sustainable regional development.

“On behalf of Council, I wish

Dr Stepanov every success in the

role and look forward to working

with her over the coming years."

BreastScreen

turns 30

BreastScreen Queensland

Toowoomba Service celebrated

its 30th birthday last week, as

all women are being reminded

about the importance of regular

breast checks.

Medical Director at Breast-

Screen Toowoomba Heather Jeffery

said breast cancer was the

most commonly diagnosed cancer

for Australian women.

“Sadly, one in seven women

are diagnosed with breast cancer

during their life,” Dr Jeffery

said.

Since opening in 1992,

Toowoomba’s BreastScreen

Clinic has screened more than

444,000 women.

“Last year we screened nearly

15,000 women through our

Toowoomba clinic and our mobile

vans,” Dr Jeffery said

“Every one of those breast

screens is so important to ensure

the best health outcomes for our

local women.”

Women 40 and over are eligible

to receive a free breast screen

through the service, the best way

to detect breast cancer early.

Additionally, the Breast-

Screen Queensland Toowoomba

Service will host a special event

for local Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander women on November

1 and 2.

The two-day event is aimed

at creating a welcoming space

to encourage more First Nations

women to be breast aware.

A doctor’s referral is not needed

to access this free service.

Galleries feature exhibitions

inspired by landscape

The Crows Nest Gallery and the Rosalie Gallery

will host exhibitions featuring art work inspired

by the local native landscapes.

Toowoomba-based artist Samantha Nolan’s exhibition

Rewilding will be on display at the Crows

Nest Gallery from October 19 through to November

13.

The I Love Goombungee exhibition featuring

the work of 15 Goombungee artists will be showing

during the same time at the Rosalie Gallery.

Ms Nolan, who has been painting in the

Toowoomba Region for 20 years, paints predominantly

in oils and acrylics.

Artworks in Rewilding depict her relationship

with the natural environment and have been inspired

by visits to the Crows Nest National Park

and family bush walks in the surrounding district.

Rewilding features a series of mixed media

paintings that represent a longing for reconnecting

with nature and a desire to be lost or immersed in

a world beyond the contemporary built or digital

realms.

Works depict detailed, realistic figures that are

hiding and exploring expressive, and at times,

semi-abstract, natural landscapes.

The 15 artists featured in I Love Goombungee

exhibit will showcase various mediums from

photography, abstract painting and sculptures. I

Love Goombungee proudly supports Goombungee’s

annual Jacaranda Day celebrations, which is

scheduled for Saturday, November 5.

The festival was first staged in 1993 and has become

a popular highlight on the district’s social

calendar.

Rosalie Gallery is committed to displaying the

talents of Goombungee’s creative community at

its latest exhibition.

Crows Nest Gallery, at the corner of the New

England Highway and William Street is open

from 10.30am to 3.30pm Wednesday to Sunday.

On Friday, October 21, the

Darling Downs Regional Alliance,

representating six regional

towns, came together to speak

as one voice to Toowoomba Region

Councillors.

The Alliance includes Crows

Nest Progress, Recreation and

Tourism Association, Highfields

Chamber of Commerce, Millmerran

Commerce and Progress

Association, Oakey Chamber of

Commerce, Pittsworth District

Alliance, Toowoomba Chamber

of Commerce, along with Clifton

Chamber of Commerce and

Yarraman Business Group.

President of the Toowoomba

Chamber Kate Venables said,

“With a combined membership

of representing almost 1000

businesses and community

groups, the Alliance is on the

ground listening to their communities

as issues arise.

“In recognition of the similarity

of issues that relate to the

Council, an invitation was extended

for councillors to have

an opportunity to listen to community

leaders advocating on

behalf of their members.

“Too much red tape, lack ofparks

and facilities maintenance,

internal miscommunication,

lack of ongoing consultation on

masterplans and burdensome

volunteer inductions were all

highlighted by the Alliance as

persistent and costly barriers

caused by TRC systems and processes.

“The cost of hiring rooms in

TRC facilities and the $10 million

public liability insurance

demands, along with a request

that Council meetings rotate

around the region were other issues

the Alliance raised for the

Councillors to act on.

“Despite the frustration outlined

by Mayor Paul Antonio,

that the legislative restrictions

impose on communication between

councillors and TRC employees,

some agreement was

reached for some of the issues.

“The Mayor talked about their

job to listen and make things

happen when they can and empathised

with the frustration the

internal red tape experienced by

local communities.

“The Alliance felt that there

Alliance argues for better

deal for businesses

This phrase conjures up different things for different

people in today’s world.

For some, it is simply children door knocking

for a treat of sweets, or they’ll play a trick on you.

Seemingly, just a bit of innocent fun.

For others it’s a chance to dress up in ghoulish

costumes and party.

The occasion for this custom is Halloween, but

today’s version is somewhat changed from its medieval

roots.

There are many different thoughts on both the

origins of Halloween and the tradition of trick or

treating if you do a little research.

There are however, two things common to most

of the information on the history of it all.

One is that Halloween has its roots in the Celtic

festival of Samhain; a pagan religious celebration

where costumes were worn to ward off ghosts.

Secondly, it is always associated with death,

darkness and evil spirits.

One wonders if this is a good thing to be celebrating

at all. The commercialism that has crept

into it is also off putting. All through October it

is not possible to go shopping without being confronted

with skeletons, witches’ hats, masks or

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

was real value in the meeting

and are looking forward to seeing

movement in the insurance

demands, volunteer inductions,

and greater consultation as masterplans

are rolled out in the

towns.

“Ultimately the true impact of

the meeting will only be measured

by actions taken – so we

will continue to push for more

action around the issues that impact

our communities.”

The purpose of the Darling

Downs Regional Alliance is

to support and be the voice of

regional business, working together

with other Chambers

and like associations within the

Toowoomba Local Government

Area to co-ordinate policy and

advocacy, networking and training;

collectively advocate for

what business sees as key drivers

to help growth across the

region; develop and implement

strategies to improve outcomes

related to regional business

growth; and provide members of

local business associations with

access to benefits of a co-ordinated

voice on regional issues.

Trick or Treat - Different things for different people

other items that ‘celebrate’ this pagan tradition.

It would seem to me to be a good time of the

year to celebrate life rather than death.

‘Life’ is all around us, in one another, and in

nature.

This season in Australia is spring when new life

abounds at every turn.

Livestock and poultry as well as our native animals

are giving birth to new life at this time of

year.

Jesus tells us in John 10:10 the reason that he

came to earth. “I am come that they may have life,

and that they might have it more abundantly.”

The Greek dictionary meaning for the word

‘abundantly’ is exceeding, over and above, more

than necessary, supremely.

Let us enter into this abundance by focusing on

life, and on Jesus, the giver of life.

Dear Jesus, Thank you so much that you came

to give us abundant life. Help me to focus my

thoughts on you, and on the life you have given

me with a grateful heart. Amen

Council works with not-for-profit

company on housing options

Toowoomba Regional Council

will work with not-for-profit

community housing provider

Brisbane Housing Company to

deliver new social and affordable

housing accommodation options

in a multi-storey development

planned for Station Street in

Toowoomba.

The council resolved to dispose

a portion of the Station

Street car park by selling the

freehold title at market value to

BHC at its confidential special

meeting on September 28.

TRC Planning and Development

Committee chair Cr Megan

O’Hara Sullivan said BHC’s

proposal was to develop new social

and affordable units on the

south-east portion of the site.

“We are pleased to partner

with BHC, which has a proven

record of delivering this type

of accommodation,” Cr O’Hara

Sullivan said.

“The council has been devising

ways to address the acute

shortage of rental accommodation,

especially for the social

and affordable housing sector,

that is representative of the tight

housing and rental market across

Australia.

“The council is positive that

the proposed Station Street development

will offer a greater

variety of well designed housing

options that are close to transport,

schools, recreation areas,

retail and service hubs.

“The council will look for

ways to re-invest the proceeds

from the sale of the Station

Street land into car parking or

similar improvements across the

CBD.

The Station Street car park is

rarely above 60 per cent capacity

on most days.

“Private investors have shown

their confidence in this part of the

Station Street multi-story apartment complex - Concept art

CBD through recent multi-storey

development applications,

including the construction of the

Bernoth development fronting

Mylne Street.

“There is great potential for

additional revitalisation of this

area of the CBD with easy connections

to the historic and recently

upgraded Russell Street

retail area in addition to easy

access to the Railway Parklands

area.

“The Railway Parklands earlier

this year received a $25

million funding injection from

the State and Commonwealth

Governments through the City

Deal agreement (this also incorporates

the Council of Mayors

South East Queensland, of which

Toowoomba is a member.)

“The council’s work to prepare

a new Planning Scheme,

under the Toowoomba Region

Futures banner, is planning for

growth over the next 30 years

to ensure there is more choice in

housing type and location.”

BHC CEO Rebecca Oelkers

said BHC welcomed the council’s

resolution to progress the

project which aims to deliver

rental homes in close proximity

to the city’s centre.

“The proposed development

will offer a balanced mix of long

term social, affordable and market

rentals, ensuring residents in

housing need can stay connected

to their local area and continue

to live, work and thrive as part

of the vibrant Toowoomba community,”

she said.

“BHC looks forward to continuing

to work with Toowoomba

Regional Council to progress

the plans for this development

and assist in addressing local

housing need.”

The confidential report outlined

options for other projects

at Council-owned land in Annand

Street and Neil Street.

Master plan for Clara May Smythe Park

Toowoomba Regional Council

is planning to develop a master

plan for Clara May Smythe

Park in Highfields this financial

year.

Environment and Community

Services Portfolio Leader

Cr Tim McMahon said the aim

of the project was to encourage

people of all ages and abilities to

visit and stay longer at the park.

“Potential improvements may

include new features such as a

playground, picnic facilities,

walking and cycling paths and

landscaping,” Cr McMahon

said.

“We’d love to know how park

users think the park can be improved

and there’s a couple of

ways feedback can be provided.

move closer to the date,” he said.

A host of activities have been

organised for the day including

a street parade, art exhibitions,

group displays, self-guided tours

and more from 8am to 2pm.

“If there is rain on November

We all realise it has been a great year for significant

rainfall events.

It is great for ground water replenishment, for

dam and river filling and of course great for growing

plants but it is also a perfect environment for all sorts

of insects and weeds to germinate and spread.

Unfortunately the insect we have an abundance of

right now in our grain crops is Helicoverpa Armigera

(Heliothis).

This pest has been giving us trouble in grain and

cotton crops for 60 years or more.

My own association only stems back 50 years

on the family farm in the South Burnett growing

soybeans and grain sorghum.

Wet weather and more western numbers made

sold to dearer rates. Feeder operators were

still very active as were restockers. Quality

was very mixed, but there were lines of cattle

support. This southern support was also seen

Guess what - right now in many areas we have

Heliothis again in our winter cereal crops.

Sure, the Heliothis (or great white shark of dryland

I quote) is always present in flowering or podding

Chickpea or Faba Bean crops.

However, they are also hammering our cereal

crops in 2022.

I have witnessed this phenomenon in the 1983 and

1984 wet winters and low levels again in 1988 and

1989 wet years.

As always the tricky line is how many grubs or

larvae do you need in your paddock, before you

apply an insecticide.

We call this a spray threshold and is calculated

by numbers of larvae per square metre, cost of

insecticide and application, and of course, the $ end

price of the grain.

In those early wetter years I mentioned, there was

very little research on this part of growing winter

cereals.

Thankfully Dr Melina Miles and her team at

DAF did basic trial work in 2016 and came up with

threshold numbers that surprisingly are very close to

my own rough calculations all those decades ago on

Western Downs cereal paddocks.

Of course, I was using cereal grain prices of $130

per tonne. These days we need to calculate $350 to

$400 per tonne for grain and the cost of spraying

has also risen for both the registered carbamate

insecticide and the aeroplane.

So if you or your agronomist have not been

checking your grain paddocks, I strongly suggest

this occurs.

Guess where these larvae or grubs will be worse?

Yep, in the middle, most likely, or the corner that

is hard to get to.

Heliothis moths know no boundaries, so check

everywhere.

How to check is a challenge and beat sheets and

sweep nets are best ways to go with varying success,

picking up the smaller size of Heliothis grubs.

Thanks again to the team at DAF Toowoomba,

what they also found was Heliothis likes wheat and

barley grain more than chickpeas or sorghum grain.

So the 2.4 grams per larvae of grain consumed in

sorghum and chickpeas is more like 4.2 grams for

each larvae in barley and wheat.

With current grain prices, our spray thresholds

are more like 2.4 larvae per square metre. Not too

different from my 1980s threshold numbers.

However growers and agronomists can be more

confident in the current threshold numbers than my

rubbery ones from 1983 and 1984.

Check out the online DAF beatsheet site for

applying your own costs and deciding on spray

thresholds for your paddocks of grain.

FISHING

Crows Nest Fishing

Club’s annual K’Gari/Fraser

Island trip was again

well supported with 12

members and 11 of their

friends attending over the

two-week period.

The Tailor were on the

bite along Dart, Flathead

and Jewfish. Unfortunately

all of the Jewies were

just undersize.

Some marine researchers

were on the island this

year. They were great to

talk to about what was

involved to ensure sustainability

of the species Longest tailor

Jim Edser

of fish in the area. They taught how to measure fish

growth and we kept some frames for them to help out

with their studies.

Pippies were collected and some worms caught also.

The in-house competition for the longest Tailor was

won by Jim Edser (68cm) and as he caught it early in

the trip, had all trying their best to pip him with great

anticipation when a big one was caught and measured.

Junior members Charlie, Sam, Lucas and Hunter

and their friends also enjoyed some fishing and Lucas

caught his first ever Tailor.

An alternative freshwater trip was held on the last

weekend in September into October at a well-run fishing

competition at Bjelke-Petersen Dam. Three members

attended and couldn’t believe how well the Golden

Perch and Bass were biting. They caught over 100 fish

between them, most of which were released, and won

prizes in the give-aways. Junior member Nathan Petersen

won a weigh-in.

During the month, Justin Bolitho and a mate caught

Golden Perch at Cooby Dam.

Monthly participation/attendance draw winner Marty

Edser.

Fraser Island club trip winner Jim Edser 2.8kg Tailor,

second Ashley Yaxley 1.97kg Tailor, third Jaidyn

Murray 1.87kg Tailor. Junior Charlie Ruwoldt 1.41kg

Tailor.

Bjelke Peterson Dam trip winner Ivan Petersen

1.15kg Golden Perch, second Mick Nothdurft 1.1kg

Golden Perch. Junior Nathan Petersen 1.175kg Golden

Perch.

The next club trip is to Leslie Dam, weather permitting,

on November 11 to 13. The December club trip is

our open competition where you can fish at any place

and date of your choosing.

The January trip is proposed to join with the Beach

House Fishing Club from Hervey Bay at Inskip Point

on January 13 to 15. Thank you to those who helped out

at the raffle night on October 15.

The next meeting will be at the Grand Old Crow Hotel

on Wednesday, November 9 at 7pm.

SPORT

CRICKET

BOWLS

CENTRAL DOWNS: October 16 - It was

cloudy across the Downs, and local cricket was back

in action, with Bowenville hosting Pittsworth and

Millmerran hosting Kulpi.

BOWENVILLE v. PITTSWORTH: After two

years and a week one washout, cricket returned to the

Bowenville Homestead, host to the opening match

of the 2022-23 Fiechtner Family Shield season between

Bowenville and Pittsworth, where the hosts

were sent in to bat.

On the home track, the Villians got off to a tentative

start, losing an early wicket and travelling at

about 3.5 runs per over, a thick grassy field making

scoring along the ground a challenge.

Bowenville entered the drinks break on 3/71 with

Brenden Scifleet and Gavin Pattison.

After the break, the focus shifted to ticking over

the score, and a handy last wicket stand of 30 runs

helped the Villians to 144 before being bowled all

out in 38 overs.

Brenden Scifleet was the best bat for the home

team, with 41 not out coming in second drop.

Chaz Cheatley (14), Brendan Cahill (18), Scifleet

(41 not out) and Pattison (19) all scored double figures;

meanwhile, for Pittsworth, Todd Hamlet was

the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/11 from 5

overs, Sam McGinn also picking up 2/6 from 3 overs.

F.O.W. 10, 40, 56, 90, 94, 98, 101, 114, 144; all

out (38).

Defending 144, Bowenville made an immediate

impact through Ajay Kumar, snicking off Ed Mc-

Ginn with the first ball of the inning.

Coming in first drop, Hamlet hit beyond the fence

several times on his way to a quick 56 runs, bringing

up his half century on the stroke of lunch with the

Pelicans 3/62 at the break.

A sprinkle of rain during the break changed the

conditions for both sides, with the ball soaking wet

from the long grass and having a rebirth of sorts with

the bowlers working the ball around with swing.

With the field slower than it already was, the run

rate slowed for Pittsworth, with the ball not reaching

the inner circle without risking a catch.

Meanwhile, disciplined bowling and fielding

from Bowenville allowed them to get wickets just

frequently enough to swing the momentum in their

favour. Hamlet (56) and Jacob Cameron (16) reached

double figures in Pittsworth’s 112 total.

All of the Bowenville bowlers contributed to

the win. Akshit Kaushal (3/34, 8o) showed exemplary

skill in his first game with the club; Chaz

Cheatley (2/9, 8o, 5m) and Jayden Lee (2/21,

8o) bowled a great line and length to limit runs;

Ajay Kumar (2/38, 8o) was pivotal in taking crucial

wickets, and Brenden Scifleet wrapped the game

up with a wicket of his own.

F.O.W. 0, 33, 55, 69, 93, 95, 103, 103, 103, 112;

all out (33).

A win well-earned for the hosts in tricky conditions

for both teams,

Bowenville won by 32 runs on the back of Scifleet’s

41 * and the all-around effort from the bowlers.

MILLMERRAN v. KULPI: Across the Downs,

the 2021-22 grand final rematch in Millmerran began

with the defending premiers Kulpi winning the toss

and opting to bat.

Kulpi, who last season averaged 235 runs when

they batted first, struggled and found themselves in

trouble at 3/35. Marcus Frizzell (47) and Brenden

Schick (19) built a decent partnership for the fourth

wicket; still, two players short of an entire squad and

very economical bowling from Millmerran limited

Kulpi to 98 runs in 34 overs.

Trent Mullins led the attack with the ball with figures

of 3/13 from eight overs (eco. 1.62) with James

Sinclair, 2/11 (8o, eco. 1.83)

Dom Briggs, 1/6 (3o); and Stephen Lindeque,

1/24 (4o) all collecting wickets, with mentions also

to Lachlan Folker who had figures of 0/8 from five

overs with three maidens. F.O.W. 28, 28, 34, 73, 78,

83, 98; 7/98 (34).

Millmerran opened their innings with Daniel

Betts, who showed his class hitting, bringing up a

half-century in 46 balls and finishing 63 not out from

52 balls, finding the boundary on nine occasions.

Kulpi were able to get two wickets through Frizzell

(1/24, 6o) and Nick Spies (1/14, 3o.)

But the total wasn’t big enough to defend from

Betts and Alex Kahler (19 not out from 12 balls.)

Millmerran chased the total in 15.3 overs to win by

8 wickets. F.O.W. 24, 52; 2/100 (15.3).

The end of Round 1 in the 40 overs competition

sees Millmerran hold the top spot over Bowenville

on percentage, with Kulpi at the rear.

• Next week’s matches sees Pittsworth hosting

Millmerran and Bowenville hosting Kulpi.

LAST NIGHT – TONIGHT

Same format as always, and just as much fun.

Bring along a friend or two.

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.

Great prizes and a raffle; and winners are drawn out of the hat.
