The Lockyer and Somerset Independent - 20th March 2024

A club dedicated to the community was left shattered after the theft of their fundraising equipment.

Lowood Lions Club’s box trailer, containing their barbecue, gas bottles, eskies, and utensils was stolen from a member’s private property at Tarampa in mid February.

President Yvonne Hawkins said the loss has cut off their ability to raise money for the community.

“We can’t fundraise,” she said.

“We’re disheartened. It’s really hard.

“The motto of Lions is ‘We Serve’, and it’s very hard to serve when you haven’t got the equipment.”

in the Lockyer Valley, incumbent Mayor Tanya Milligan was not ready to declare victory, despite having 44 per cent of the preliminary votes.

“I’m not celebrating yet because it just feels too close,” Cr Milligan said.

“They still need to do the preferences, so we’ll see how that plays out.

The Somerset mayoral contest was a battle between Cr Wendt and his fellow council member, Sean Choat.

Cr Wendt said he was humbled by the result.

The biggest surprise was in the Ipswich West by-election, where the LNP’s Darren Zanow upset Labor’s Wendy Bourne.

Overcoming a 14 per cent margin, Mr Zanow had 39.59 per cent of the votes at the time of writing.

“I’d like to say thank you to the people of Ipswich West for putting their faith in me,” Mr Zanow said on Sunday.

Preferences set the bar

By Jacob Hayden

Lockyer Valley Regional Council incumbent Mayor Tanya Milligan was not celebrating on Sunday 17 March, despite having 44 per cent of the preliminary votes the day after the local government elections.

“I’m not celebrating yet because it just feels too close,” Cr Milligan said.

“They still need to do the preferences, so we’ll see how that plays out.

“I think some people have forgotten that, I’ve had numerous people congratulate me.”

Mayoral candidate Kyle Burnett agreed the numbers could go either way.

“The counting’s still going on and I was at a couple of scrutineering booths on election night and a lot of people did preference voting, so I’m very interested to see how those figures end up,” Mr Burnett said.

Mayoral candidate Maree Rosier said she was disappointed with the outlook of the votes, but not surprised.

“I’m an eternal optimist, and I was disappointed by the results but I realise it was a big ask and I that in times of difficulty, when things are tough, history shows us that we vote for the incumbents because we’re fearful of change and looking for that stability,” Ms Rosier said.

“For me, that’s counter-intuitive because that’s another way to get more of what you’ve got.

“I polled well in the communities that know me so I’m heartened by that.”

The Mayoral candidates congratulated their opposition and council candidates for their efforts.

“To all the candidates, whether the two mayoral candidates or any of the councillor candidates, I really take my hat off to anyone who puts themselves out there, out in the public for public service,” Cr Milligan said.

“It’s not easy, because you are out there to the scrutiny of the public.”

Somerset Mayor: Wendt

By Grace Crichton

After two decades under the leadership of Graeme Lehmann, Jason Wendt will take over as Somerset Regional Council’s new mayor.

Sitting councillors Cr Wendt and Sean Choat both threw their hat in the ring, receiving 60.6 per cent and 39.4 per cent of the vote respectively, as of 4pm on 17 March.

CrWendt said he was humbled by the result which was greater than he expected.

His first priority is to establish good communication between the council and the people.

“As we went around that was the overwhelming negative that we heard,” he said.

“So getting back to the people and actual communication on the ground, in their towns.

“That’s the big change that I want to start with.”

He is excited to work with his fellow councillors, both new and returning, who he said were all ‘very keen’.

“I’m very excited by their enthusiasm to make change,” he said.

“The existing councillors definitely need to teach the new councillors in respect of legal obligations, but I think the new councillors will always come in with objective fresh eyes and question why things are done the way they’re done.”

Cr Wendt thanked his family and friends

who helped him at the polling booths.

Outgoing councillor Sean Choat thanked the people who voted for him on 16 March and

all who supported him during his tenure.

“It’s certainly been a great honour and a privilege to serve as a Somerset councillor over

Zanow clinches Ipswich West in upset

By Byron Peszko

In a surprise by-election result, Liberal National Party’s Darren Zanow has upset Labor’s Wendy Bourne to clinch the seat of Ipswich West.

In Labor heartland, Mr Zanow claimed 39.59 per cent of the votes, ahead of Ms Bourne on 35.14 per cent at the time of writing. With more than 77 per cent of votes counted, Mr Zanow and Opposition Leader David Crisafulli spoke to the media on Sunday.

“I’d like to say thank you to the people of Ipswich West for putting their faith in me,” Mr Zanow said.

“Ipswich West priorities are our priorities. We need to move forward and prove to every Queenslander that we’re going to make change.

“I’d like to see every Queenslander take the lead from Ipswich West, moving forward now to the October election,” he said.

David Crisafulli said the overwhelming message was that people don’t trust the government to fix major issues including youth crime and the cost of living.

“We are focused on delivering change. The task ahead remains a massive one for us and we will not be losing sight on challenges facing everyday Queenslanders,” he said.”

Campaigning on election day at Ipswich High State School, Ms Bourne said it had been a strong campaign by her team.

“We’ve been doing door knocking and phone calling, it’s all been about cost of living, you know, people are struggling,” Ms Bourne said.

The Legalise Cannabis Queensland Party’s Melody Lindsay was third with 14.52 per cent and One Nation’s Mark Bone fourth on 10.75 per cent.

Councillors say goodbye

By Grace Crichton

Three retiring councillors were farewelled by their colleagues in Lockyer Valley Regional Council’s ordinary meeting on 13 March.

Janice Holstein, Jason Cook, and Rick Vela did not run in the 2024 local government election, instead choosing to step back from local politics.

Mrs Holstein wrapped up 24 years in elected government and intends to spend more time with her grandchildren.

She thanked the many people she worked with in her time, including four different mayors, four CEOs, and more than 20 different councillors.

“We’ve had a few laughs, maybe a few tears, but I think we have achieved a lot for the community,” she said.

There were several noteworthy highlights in her 24 year career, including connecting Withcott to town water in 2001, constructing the LockyerValley Cultural Centre in 2009, and the Grantham land swap after the 2011 floods.

She commended the council disaster management team.

“I think from where we were in 2011 to where we are now there’s a huge difference,” she said.

“I know in disaster management circles Lockyer Valley’s really looked to for how to do things.”

Lockyer Valley Regional Council mayor

Tanya Milligan said Mrs Holstein was an ‘absolute powerhouse’ of a councillor.

“For me, it’s been a real privilege to work with you,” she said.

“You will be missed and you’ve made a great contribution.”

MrVela also reflected on his time as a councillor since he was appointed in the by-election of 2018.

“I’d like to acknowledge the amazing work that all of our community groups do,” he said.

“When you’re on council you get to go and see all those events and they’re amazing.”

Cr Milligan said Mr Vela was ‘absolutely committed’ in his term and always did his

homework.

“I’ve really appreciated that, that you’ve really just dug in deep and really got to know the business,” she said.

Former Deputy Mayor Jason Cook has hung up his hat after taking on the role when he was elected in 2016.

“Thanks to the community for trusting me in this role,” he said.

Mr Cook said there was mutual respect

among the elected councillors and debates never ended in a grudge.

“Our communication’s been pretty good with each other but there’s always been that respect,” he said.

“To the staff, I think they get the rough end of the pineapple a lot of the time too.

“I think they do a good job, I think they do a fantastic job, there’s some really good people here.”

Team Somerset farewells Lehmann

By Jacob Hayden

With almost 70 years of service to local government combined, Mayor Graeme Lehmann and Councillor Cheryl Gaedtke bid farewell to Somerset Regional Council last week.

Councillors and CEO Andrew Johnson congratulated the two outgoing councillors in the ordinary meeting on Wednesday 13 March, followed by a surprise morning tea in honour of the Mayor.

Mr Johnson said Cr Lehmann was instrumental in driving progress, fostering unity, and enhancing the quality of life for Somerset residents.

“He has weathered many storms while serving the last twenty years as Mayor and previously ten years of service as a councillor for the former Esk Shire Council,” Mr Johnson said.

“Mayor Lehmann’s leadership style has been characterised by vision, compassion, and a tireless commitment to service.”

Cr Lehmann said he was proud of his achievements, including the growth and construction of many art galleries, sporting fields, swimming pools, roads, bridges, and the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.

He had a few words of advice for the new council.

“Don’t try and be someone you’re not, keep your feet on the ground and I’m sure Somerset will be in good hands for the future,” Cr Lehmann said.

“Preserving our rural lifestyle is one of the things that I think is very, very important, and I hope our council will never, never lose sight of our rural lifestyle.”

Cr Lehmann said he looked forward to trav-

elling the country with his wife, Judy.

“I look forward to a spot of fishing, lots more music and travel and most importantly more time with my wonderful family,” he said.

“I’d like to wish team Somerset all the best into the future and as I travel Australia I will always promote ‘Gods Own Country’ and be proud to call Somerset home.”

Mr Johnson said Cr Gaedtke’s 39 years service as a staff member and councillor‘illustrated the essence of public service’.

“Her tenure has been characterised by a commitment to enhancing the lives of residents and driving meaningful progress within Somerset Regional Council and the former Kilcoy Shire Council,” Mr Johnsons aid.

“We wish her a retirement filled with joy, longevity, and the opportunity to pursue her passions and dreams.”

Cr Milligan said she appreciated his ability to always be available and his ‘brave and bold’ approach.

There was one final point Mr Cook sought to clear up at the meeting.

“One other thing, if you’re talking to anybody there’s a couple of things I need to clarify,” he said.

“I’m not moving to the coast and I’m not running the leagues club.”

Esk Police Station new hours

Esk Police Station will operate to the public again, open Monday to Wednesday, 8:30 am to 4 pm.

If the station is unattended, a blue phone has also been fitted to the front of the station.

This phone will automatically connect to Policelink who can take a message and notify the required officer.

Esk Police Station Sergeant Matt Dean said police had recently experienced several incidents where members of the public have contacted local officers directly when in need of police, which has resulted in significant delays in police attendance as the local officer contacted may be completing other duties.

Sergeant Dean said the correct way to contact Police is to contact 000 in an emergency or if an incident is occurring or Policelink 131 444 if they wish to arrange an appointment with an officer.

BBQ theft is a low blow

By Grace Crichton

theft of their fundraising equipment.

Lowood Lions Club’s box trailer, containing their barbecue, gas bottles, eskies, and utensils was stolen from a member’s private property at Tarampa in mid February.

President Yvonne Hawkins said the loss has cut off their ability to raise money for the community.

“We can’t fundraise,” she said.

“We’re disheartened. It’s really hard.

“The motto of Lions is ‘We Serve’, and it’s very hard to serve when you haven’t got the equipment.”

The loss is compounded by a history of theft, vandalism, and break-ins to the Lions’ buildings on Railway St.

Over the past year, soft drinks and empty cans have been taken from the shed, the den windows broken, and the taps at the Open Door gallery damaged.

“Every time I go past, I’m looking to see if there’s anything broken or smashed,” Mrs Hawkins said.

Mrs Hawkins said they have reported the theft to the police and posted on social media, but she does not hold much hope of the trailer being returned.

“The trouble is we’ve got insurance but it’s two separate insurances, one for the trailer and one for the contents,” she said.

“And they’re both $500 excess so we’re up for $1,000.

“Our funds are going down before we can get the trailer back to do more fundraising.

“Maybe somebody kind will give us a trailer.

“And we’d be willing to put their name on it.”

Sausage sizzles are the Lions’ main source of fundraising, channelling the money to help families in need or support community groups.

They had also planned more free sausage sizzles for the community.

Without a barbecue, these plans are crushed.

Mrs Hawkins said the trailer could be left at the gallery on Railway St, no questions asked.

“We want it back. Just give it back,” she said.

“It’s not fair what you’re doing, it just isn’t.”

The trailer is a grey 8x5 box trailer, identifiable by a Lions sticker on the tail gate, registration DH0867.

Reports can be made to Lowood Police or Crime Stoppers, reference number 9350456.

Gaedtke fires parting shot at public letter

By Jacob Hayden

In her last ordinary meeting as a sitting councillor for Somerset, Cheryl Gaedtke responded to criticism levelled at her in a public letter.

“To me it is totally un-Australian to not be able to voice my opinion openly and responsibly as I did in the newspaper on the 6th of March about how I’ve found local government over 40 years and who my preferred candidates are to lead this council,” Cr Gaedtke said.

The letter, written by a ‘concerned Somerset resident’ named P. Jones, was published in The Somerset newspaper and raised the councillor’s past misconduct.

The letter responded to Cr Gaedtke’s own

letter to the editor, published inThe Independent, in which she announced her endorsement for Mayor and councillors.

“Before you take any recommendations from Councillor Gaedtke let’s first talk about an issue that has been kept particularly quiet by the previous Mayor and councillors,” P. Jones said in their letter to The Somerset.

In Somerset Regional Council’s ordinary meeting on 13 March, Cr Gaedtke said the ‘issue’ referred to a live 20-second video she made in May 2022 at the official opening of the Toogoolawah Gym and Pool.

“Yes, I did a 20-second live video update which was against policies and the funding agreement from the State Government, as it funded most of that infrastructure,” she said.

“Once again, this individual attempts to discredit me as a councillor through printed articles.

“This is the third [article] since May of 2022.”

Cr Gaedtke said she had made mistakes and learned from them.

“The perpetrator, this time, has shown their true character by an article which appears in a local newspaper,” she said.

“As I said after the second news article some 13 months ago, I pray for the soul of this tormented individual.

“I believe my 40 years of service to local government outweighs this one minor error of judgement.”

Long standing Somerset Regional Councillor Cheryl Gaedtke has responded to backlash aimed at her from a public letter during Somerset’s ordinary meeting on 13 March.

Grantham shapes future

By Jesse Hamilton

Members of the Grantham District Community are striving to cultivate a group that offers locals both a strong sense of community connection and a distinct regional identity.

As it moves towards incorporation, the community group aims to create a central hub for the Grantham region and surrounding areas by hosting numerous community events to support locals and offer them a place to share ideas.

Grantham District Community president David Piggott is a Grantham local of seven

years and said the western side of the Lockyer Valley has felt left out for some time.

“We’ve been left out in a big way. Grantham had a lot of money thrown at it to relocate, but what they didn’t do was keep the community together and keeping the people connected is important to every community,” he said.

“Most of what’s happening in the Lockyer Valley is in Forest Hill and Laidley.”

Mr Piggott said the community group aims to lease out the Grantham Butter Factory longterm as a community hub headquarters.

“We could have volunteers in there to turn

the place into a historical building for locals and visitors to the area,” he said.

“People know about Grantham for the flood, but do they know about the good times before the floods?”

“The good times were when the byway went through here, and Grantham was thriving.

“It’s an opportunity to support locals, we could put a coffee shop and local produce markets in there also.”

Mr Piggott said the Grantham District Community holds monthly meetings that are beneficial for locals to get to know each other and share their concerns on local matters.

“It will be up to the group to decide what we are and are not going to do, I’m not going to be the president to push my own agenda,” he said.

“It’s about community input, I know that I’ve only been here seven years, I just want the community to grow.”

The Grantham District Community hosts its monthly meetings at the Grantham Butter Factory every second Tuesday of the month, with the next meeting on 9 April at 7pm.

Lockyer Valley gallery Hosts ‘Paint the Town’ exhibition

By Jesse Hamilton

Lockyer Valley audiences can anticipate an award-winning showcase of regional Queensland talent as ‘Paint the Town’ opened at the LockyerValley Art Gallery on 1 March.

Running until 12 May, Paint the Town is the touring exhibition of the 2021 Queensland Regional Arts Awards and highlights the creations of 28 skilled emerging and established artists from various regions across Queensland.

The touring exhibition travels to metropolitan and regional galleries in the years following the award and coincides with the Flying Arts 50th anniversary, an alliance famous for connecting artists, educators, and communities.

Having constructed their work, exhibition artists responded to the questions: How do you celebrate? Is it a serene or riotous party, a big bash, a festival, or a simple elegant affair?

Does it display explosions of joy or quiet moments of reflection and gratitude, ceremo-

ny, tradition or ritual, a sense of occasion or ‘just because’?

Artist Michelle Kurth from Cooran who won the Textile Art Award for her ‘Ignite’ piece said memories of celebration always evoke a vivid feeling.

“My memories of fun and celebration always have a brightness about them,” she said.

“Thoughts reignited and brought back to life with feelings of joy, the images bold and full of colour.”

Food bank has new path

By Jacob Hayden

Somerset Regional Council has terminated a partnership with Brisbane Valley churches to deliver food parcels to those in need following a trial period over December 2023 and January 2024.

The matter was raised in the ordinary council meeting on Wednesday 13 March.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Anglican Church Parish of Esk andToogoolawah to deliver food parcels to those in need, utilising emergency relief funding provided to SRC, through the Department of Treaty Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Partnerships Communities and the Arts.

The Reverend Loretta Tyler-Moss attended a trial review meeting with volunteers from the multi-faith group Churches Working Together, where they decided to seek a ‘better form of delivery’.

“We identified that there is a need for food relief in the Brisbane Valley, but our method of having a face-to-face meeting point delivery station each week was not meeting the needs of people who were seeking food relief,” Rev Tyler-Moss said.

“Our emergency relief parcels also, we felt like they needed to be reduced.”

Rev Tyler-Moss said volunteers were manning a station two hours a week in Toogoolawah and two hours a week in Esk.

“Doing it that way wasn’t getting to the people who needed it in the best form,” she said.

“It needed to be more flexible and less rigid, we were finding there were other people who needed it but couldn’t get there or come in to town at the time.”

Rev Tyler-Moss said out of the food bank trial, the churches have made better working relationships with the CWA and St Vincent de Paul.

“We found that we were duplicating services that were already in place, so we want to

work with them more effectively rather than just adding another service in the valley,” she said.

“The biggest takeaway from the trial was that there is an amazing volunteer army from the BrisbaneValley churches together, who are very eager to help meet people’s needs.

“The general Brisbane Valley community is very, very generous, they demonstrated they

Old time dance returns

By Crichton

Step back in time and dance the night away at Glenore Grove on Saturday 23 March.

The Glenore Grove Hall will host the dance from 7:30pm until 11:30pm.

Hall committee president George Frampton said the old time dance was back by popular demand.

“The old time dances have been requested by those people who no longer come to the dances because there’s too many new dances that they can’t do,” he said.

“They wish to have a night when they can do the old time dances they used to do in their teenage years.”

The likes of the GypsyTap, EveningThree Step, The Pride of Erin, and The Log Cabin, will be led by musicians Ian and Lynn.

“We’ve got live music, we’ve got a multi draw raffle, and we have an excellent sit down supper,” Mr Frampton said.

“Ian and Lynn will be supplying the music again this dance, the same as they have done for the last two dances, and their tunes are very very popular.”

If you need to dust off your dancing shoes, there will be a practice session beforehand.

“We’ll have a practice session or beginners session at 6:15 until 7:15,” Mr Frampton said.

“If someone wants to come along and join from quarter past six they are more than welcome to do so if they want to revise a dance that they’d like to do during the night.”

Entry is $12.50 and includes supper.

would like to help people in need as well.”

The food was stored at the former gymnasium building in McConnel Park, Toogoolawah and distributed weekly from the Anglican Church Halls at Esk and Toogoolawah.

SRC officers will also investigate other potential solutions for the use of the former gymnasium building.

Rev Tyler-Moss said there was a ‘conversa-

tion happening’ about the future of the service.

“The Brisbane Valley churches together are investigating partnering with some other community organisations,” she said.

“We are looking to the future to continue working together to meet the needs of the community, we’re trying to be sensitive and responsive to what the need is in the community.”

GIVE UP SMOKING NOW!

When it comes to smoking, any time is a good time to quit; and it’s never too late. Studies have shown that for smokers who quit at age 50 the risk of a tobacco related death is reduced by about two thirds; and for those who stop before middle age the risk is little more than for non-smokers.

However, becoming and staying a nonsmoker doesn’t happen by accident. Smokers who plan before they quit are significantly more successful than those who don’t; and planning can be done quickly and easily. The decision to quit must be yours and yours alone, but to help you plan for long term success you should enlist the support of family and friends.Your pharmacist can also offer you valuable support.

The ‘cold turkey’ approach works well for manypeople(perhapsit’sastrategywhich is particularly relevant at this time of year whentheleft-oversfromChristmasdinner could be on the menu for quite some time); but for smokers who are heavily addicted to nicotine using a medicine to help the quit process can also make good sense.

Nicotinereplacementtherapy(NRT)could be an option worth considering. These nicotine substitutes help to treat the

withdrawal symptoms and cravings which can make it so difficult to quit.

Whenyoudostopsmoking,yourbodywill most likely still have a need for nicotine –the addictive component of cigarettes – and this is what creates the urge to smoke again. By taking nicotine in a‘clean form’ – that is without the dangerous carbon monoxide and tar ingredients – the physical withdrawal symptoms are reduced, allowing you to focus your energies on breaking the smoking habit.

The effectiveness of NRT in aiding cessation is well established and is supported by the highest level of clinical evidence. Nevertheless, some people have concerns – unfounded concerns –about the continued use of nicotine to help smokers quit.

The reality is using NRT to quit is always safer than smoking.

NRT medications are available from pharmacies without prescription (and the so-called Step 1,2 &3 patches are now Government subsidised); whilst two Prescription-only products, taken orally, (bupropion and varenicline) may also be useful for smokers who want to become committed quitters.

Bunny’s fun Easter time

By Jesse Hamilton

The beloved Glamorgan Vale Easter Carnival returned on Saturday, 16 March, offering a delightful evening for families to get immersed in the Easter festivities.

The free-ticketed event takes place two weeks before Easter annually, with Saturday night featuring kids’ rides, live music, BBQ, face paintings, a ham wheel raffle, and a multiprize drawing.

On the night, 32 multi-draw raffle prizes were up for grabs, and 25 hams were handed out during the ham wheel raffle.

The large crowd was treated to music from acclaimed Toowoomba artist Kev Smith, who played a repertoire of rock, pop, and country music from Australian and overseas artists.

Glamorgan Vale Community Hall Gail Wendt said the event has been running for close to 20 years in Glamorgan Vale and is very popular among locals.

“It’s been a good crowd this year, kids love it, it’s from 5pm, so it’s at a good time,” she said.

“Everyone looks forward to it, there’s always someone ringing up to ask are we having it this year.”

Choir lends Easter voice

By Grace Crichton

Experience the Easter story in a new way at a special community service this Maundy Thursday.

Brisbane Valley Churches Together and Esk Community Choir will present ‘The Triumph Song of Life’, an Easter Cantata, on Thursday 28 March at the Somerset Civic Centre.

The cantata is a collection of choral music and hymns interspersed with readings centred on the Easter story.

Brisbane Valley Anglican Church priest in charge The Reverend Loretta Tyler-Moss said the music told the story from Palm Sunday.

“For most people, Easter is Sunday and maybe Good Friday,” she said.

“But in actual fact, Easter is a week long, and that was what I really wanted to share.

“It’s not just Christ dying and rising.

“The cantata takes it from Palm Sunday to that joyous entry into Jerusalem, through the Last Supper, the foot washing… and then to the trial, the Crucifixion, and then the resurrection.”

Esk Community Choir choral director Alexis FitzGerald said the cantata was ‘choral music at its best’.

“What I love about the music is that it’s by well-known composers… like Gounod, Mendelssohn, Telemann, and from all periods of music, early English, Classical, and of course finishing with one of the greatest ever, Beethoven’s Symphony Number 9, ‘Joyful Joyful’, which is a melody that everybody knows,” she said.

“It’s a fitting conclusion to the story of Easter.”

The free concert is open to people of all denominations.

Rev Loretta said it was an ideal service whether you attend church on Christmas and Easter or every week, as well as choir followers.

“We’ll be able to share the story of Easter in a comfortable setting which hopefully meets the needs of the religious folk and exposes the community to what it is that we’re spending Easter celebrating,” she said.

Light refreshments will be served from 5pm for a 5:30pm start.

The service will be followed by fellowship in the foyer with a cup of tea and biscuits.

“It’s going to be a very pleasant social outing with some beautiful music involved,” Mrs FitzGerald said.

Trikes’ home base in Esk

By Jesse Hamilton

Established with a mutual aim of riding and relishing the camaraderie of fellow trikers, the group hosts AGMs in various locations nationwide, with the most recent AGM in South East Queensland, held in Toowoomba back in 2009.

United Trikers Australia member Darryn Klein, who helped organise the inaugural Esk event, said the region was the perfect setting

for this year’s meeting.

“We’ve got club members from South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, and all over the country,” he said.

“We have about 57 trikes here. It’s been perfect weather, it’s been great to have such a great turnout.”

Saturday’s ride saw the trikers travelling from Esk to Fernvale, up to Kilcoy for lunch, with a scenic drive along the Somerset Dam.

The group held its AGM at the Esk Grand Hotel on Saturday night, with riders heading down to enjoy the Fernvale Markets on Sunday, March 17.

Trike devotees from across the nation gathered in Esk on 16 March to celebrate the United Trikers Australia group’s AGM, starting with an enjoyable country ride from the Brisbane Valley Roasters.

Tony’s shed: life two (a) T

By Jesse Hamilton

Upper Tenthill local of 36 years Tony Howard is the owner of two 1920s Model T Fords, which reflect an era of mass production and affordability for automobiles.

Tony owns a 1925 Ford Model T Doctor’s Coupe and a black 1926 Ford Model T and has wanted to own and restore a Model T since developing a fascination with the model in his childhood.

In 2019, Tony started a journey to restore and build up a 1925 coupe after seeing the model’s body advertised on an Aussie Model T Facebook page in South Australia.

“After contact was made, I grabbed my old mate, Gordon Russ, a retired interstate driver and fellow car enthusiast, and we made the pilgrimage from Queensland to South Australia to complete the disassembly and bring it home,” he said.

“The timber generally was in poor shape, dry rot having made inroads, I got hold of a quantity of silky oak slabs, from which I have been able to fashion replacement timbers.

“There are times when the brain gets lost in a fog of frustration, like when trying to fit the rear window panel.

“It just wasn’t right, an inch and a half too low at the front, frantic measuring and the fog cleared, and I flipped it over, and it fitted precisely.”

Produced by the Ford Motor Company from 1908 to 1927, Tony said the model was regarded as the first mass-affordable automobile and said the car has a strong connection to his formative years.

“Henry Ford had a vision that everybody could have a motor car, so every time he improved production and made it cheaper to produce, the price would drop,” he said.

“From the time when I was a kid, one of our

neighbours had a model T as his go-to town car, you tend to gravitate towards cars that connect with your generation.

“I’m a post-war baby, and you look back on what you had, and it was always the best, that’s why I like the cars of that era.”

The Ford model was the most sold car in history before being surpassed by the Volk-

swagen Beetle in 1972, with 50 per cent of the vehicles registered in the United States in 1916 being Model Ts.

The Lockyer local said he plans to build another Model T from model parts he has collected over the years.

“When I had my business in Gatton, most of my work was in western Queensland. I worked

in the bush, and every time I went on to a station property, I’d walk the property dumps, and there would be old cars lying everywhere and quite often bits and pieces of model Ts,” he said.

“I’ve got two more model Ts I want to do up, putting the cars together, I probably spend five to six hours a day. I put a lot of time into it.”

Tony spent from 2019 to 2022 restoring this 1925 Ford Model T Doctor’s Coupe and is vice president of the Queensland Model T Club.

Tony also owns an award-winning XM Falcon Ute, with his first truck also being a Ford, a 1957 Ford F-600.

Gourd king

By Jacob Hayden

Tony Frohloff thought he was in trouble.

The Minden pumpkin grower broke the Queensland record for heaviest pumpkin with a 365kg pumpkin on 16 January, but when he arrived at the Brisbane Showgrounds on 9 March he thought he was about to be beat.

Toowoomba’s Downlands College smashed the long-standing Ekka record by over 100kg to take out top honours at the Royal Queensland Show’s iconic Giant Pumpkin Competition.

The College’s 368.5kg entry took out Champion Heaviest Pumpkin of Show and Heaviest Pumpkin – Youth Class. It’s the second time in the competition’s history that a school has managed to edge out veteran growers in the Open Class category, after Downlands College won the title of Champion Heaviest Pumpkin of Show last year for the first time.

Due to a technicality, Mr Frohloff still holds onto the Queensland record.

“They only put it on the scale down there with the pallet and told everyone what it should weigh without the pallet,” Mr Frohloff said.

“It’s not official because they still had the mat under it.

“That mat they had under it was like 5kg or something.”

Mr Frohloff said he was surprised by the College’s mega pumpkin.

“I was thinking ‘it’s going to come pretty close to my Queensland record’, looking at it before they weighed it,” he said.

“It was definitely impressive.”

Mr Frohloff and his father Geoff took their own pumpkins to the Ekka competition, winning 3rd place with 155kg and 1st with 259kg.

Second place was won by Jim Baxter with a 164.5kg pumpkin.

“He’s an old retired teacher who comes from Stanthorpe, he’s been up here a few times competing,” Mr Frohloff said.

Your job in Ag diplomacy

By Jacob Hayden

If you are a young person in the agricultural industry, have you considered competing in the Rural Ambassador program?

2023 Rural Ambassador for Toogoolawah Show Society and West Moreton and Brisbane Valley Sub Chamber Stephanie Laycock is organising a workshop for young people considering entering the program, to be held on 6 April in Esk.

Ms Laycock said the program was about equipping young people in the ag industry with the skills and insider knowledge to enter the program with confidence.

“We’re really using this as a workshop for people that don’t really understand what the Rural Ambassador program is or they’re not sure if they’ve got enough information to participate,” she said.

Part of the workshop will focus on answering industry questions, talking to judges, and how to carry oneself throughout the competition.

“A lot of people struggle with the public speaking and how to present themselves, and I know a lot of people involved in the ag industry who may not think they have what it takes to go into the program,” Ms Laycock said.

Ms Laycock has teamed up with 2022 Rural Ambassador for Marburg and 2023 Community Spirit winner Matthew Petty to run the workshop. The workshop will discuss current industry issues.

“We’ve got some local beef producers and local agents, and a few other people lined up to talk about current issues in the industry,” Ms Laycock said.

“The program is a really good way to meet some influential people and to build relationships with other young people that are committed to the industry and their local show societies.

“It’s a future leader program, so it’s helping

build future leaders in the rural industry.”

Ms Laycock said the event was open to everyone from 17 to 29 years old.

“Queensland Ag Shows have hinted they’re interested in bringing about a Junior Ambassa-

dor program in the future, so they suggested we open it up to older high school students as well to get them interested in a younger version of the program,” she said.

“Just because you’re too young to enter doesn’t mean you can’t come to the workshop.”

The free event comes with complementary food and drinks and will be held from 7am to 5pm at High Country, Eskdale.

Ag takes a rare talent

On Rural Aid’s Mates Day, the one thing fourth generation vegetable growers, Brendan and Janne Dipple, want Australians to know is farming is not an unskilled profession.

“There’s actually a lot that goes into farming. It takes a lot of effort, technical knowledge, and ability to be able to do the work at all levels in the farming enterprise,” Brendan said.

Add to that, the need to be agile, to pivot to another product if there’s a glut in the market, and to be able find resilience in the face of floods, drought and hailstorms.

Held on 20 March, Mates Day is all about recognising these challenges and the hard work Aussie farmers invest, each day, to put food on Australian tables.

The Dipples started Bare Essentials Quality Vegetables in the Lockyer Valley from scratch with $20,000 in 1998 after moving from Brendan’s great grandfather’s farm at Mitchelton in Brisbane. On a flat and fertile 28 hectares at Mortonvale, they began by growing lettuces, before being scaled out by larger operators, and branching into bunch lines to fill a new niche producing shallots, spinach and silver beet, and in the past decade, fresh herbs.

The Dipples’ farm has been underwater five times in the past two years and endured extreme heat and hail.

“We had a good run during 2023 where everything was stable and we worked like mad,” Brendan said.

“Then we had a hailstorm in November which took everything, followed by another flood in 2024.

“We just mop up the mess and try to salvage crops or re-plant, but obviously it’s financially

crippling.”

Rural Aid CEO John Warlters said the recurring weather events were having a compounding effect on the frequency and nature of requests for support the charity is receiving from farmers.

“We’ve got families right now who are recovering from multiple events, one after the other, and in a very quick time frame,” John said.

“The donations we receive during Mates Day will be used to help these farming families recover and get back on their feet.”

Colours of the Lockyer Festival

Lockyer

By Jacob Hayden

You’re going to want to clear your schedule, because the sixth annual Colours of the Lockyer arts and culture festival is returning to Laidley this Sunday.

Spirit of the Valley owner and events organiser Idell Wadley said she was very content with this year’s line-up.

“Somehow every year we just seem to do better,” Ms Wadley said.

“We have copious amounts, a plethora, of free activities… everything from playing around with art on easels, creating your own masterpiece, leatherwork, messy play, face-painting.”

The free-entry event will host several special guests and entertainers.

“We do have a very special guest, and that special guest has very long ears and lots of chocolate goodies for people, but I won’t mention any names,” MsWadley said.

“That guest will be arriving at 10:30 along with the Mayor.

“We also have a Formula Three race car driver, Kyle Evans, who will be there from 11 to 1 to sign posters… and Gilmour Racing will also be there with at least four Formula Three race cars.”

Ms Wadley said there would also be plenty of local entertainment.

“We’re introducing an Ipswich trio called the Oztones, they’ll be doing a mix of originals and covers… they’re kind of a blues-y come Elvis band,” she said.

“We have special guest Matt Kar who is an up-and-coming musician getting some airplay on Spotify.

market information stalls including the National Fire Ant Eradication Program, Blenheim Fire Brigade, Army Reserves, Laidley Community Centre, Lockyer Billy Cart Association, and Life Without Barriers.

MsWadley said Colours would have food options to cater every taste.

“There’s Afghan Traditional Sweets, Golden Churros, Suci Kebabs, Hot Slice Pizza, and legendary and crowd favourite Kick’n Chicken,” she said.

“We’ve got things like deep-fried desserts with Cafe on Call, and Wahnou Kai with fish and chips, burgers and affordable kids meals.

“Lockyer Billy Cart Association will be running the sausage sizzle and bacon and egg rolls with cold drinks.

“Whether you’ve got a sweet tooth or you prefer savoury, there’s something there for everybody including gluten free options and vegan.”

Colours of the Lockyer is a free-to-attend family event that showcases local and is run by local volunteers.

“I would advise anybody planning on popping in to make sure they plan to spend the day, because they will just get lost in everything there is to do,” Ms Wadley said.

Make a day of it and come to the Colours of the Lockyer festival this Sunday with free entry and entertainment, and a plethora of activities, market stalls and food options.

“We’ve got Move and Groove the dance school, we’ve got local legend Leona Walker and the Harvestival competition winner from last year, Sammy Morgan.

“At 12 o’clock is the Legends of the Lockyer talent quest with a $200 prize pool.” There will be more than a kilometre of

“There’s a whole weekend to be had with the Ferrari Park markets on the Saturday and before the festival opens you might want to go and grab some breakfast and have a wonder around Plainland Country Markets.”

Colours of the Lockyer will be held at Ferrari Park in Laidley from 10am-3pm on Sunday 24 March.

JIMMY DOHERTY’S NEW ZEALAND ESCAPE

SBS Food, Saturday, 7.30pm

Perhaps it’s unfair to declare that New Zealand’s sublime natural scenery eclipses the genial manner of presenter Jimmy Doherty (pictured), but in this gorgeously shot series that’s the only way it should be. Dotted with snow-frosted mountains, heavenly blue expanses and even some top-notch whiskey and buffalo milk, it’s an expedition filled with the scenic spoils of Kiwi produce and spirit. It’s a happy-go-lucky four-part travelogue, kicking off with the British presenter and farmer visiting the haven of Stewart Island, where he learns to gravity fish. A women-only deer farm and the country’s oldest distillery are also on the fun-filled itinerary.

Colin Firth is set to star in an upcoming miniseries about the 1988 disaster, but in the meantime there’s this meticulous true crime documentary about terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103. Using archival footage and extensive interviews with those involved, it’s a compelling and very moving examination of grief, which wraps up tonight with a movie-length instalment. Almost 40 years have passed since the terrible tragedy, but it still feels like yesterday for Margaret and Hugh Connell, who were among the first to find the plane’s wreckage in their small Scottish town. Tonight, the verdict is revealed, leaving Dr Jim Swire, the father of one of the victims, gobsmacked.

MASTERMIND AUSTRALIA

SBS, Monday, 6pm

Notorious for its tough questions, there’s no holding back on the torrent of knowledge and intellect in the new season of this quiz caper. Premiering tonight with its sixth season, along with host Marc Fennell (pictured), here’s your cheat card to get ahead of the curve… if you wish to accept a little sneaky heads up. With a fresh episode every weekday, everything from pop culture to art and politics is covered. Tonight’s return features NRL State of Origin from 1985 to 2005, Survivor:All-Stars, the human brain, and the Battle for Hill 60, but you can also brush up on Fawlty Towers ParksandRecreation, New Order, the Solomon Islands and Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer this week.

PICK OF THE WEEK

ALONE AUSTRALIA

SBS, Wednesday, 7.30pm

Armed with only 10 permitted items, such as a sleeping bag, a water bottle and perhaps a toothbrush, there’s no bluffing in this extraordinary survival series. Returning with its keenly anticipated second season after hooking audiences with its Tasmanian-set debut last year, the stakes are high for the 10 competing survivalists after no doubt taking feverish notes from reigning champion Gina Chick’s audacious feat winning the 250,000 cash prize. This time they’re in New Zealand’s South Island, where being cold takes on a painful new meaning. Featuring NSW tradesman and wild game hunter Jack and Victorian wilderness adventure guide Suzan (pictured), there’s no shortage of skill and chutzpah.

RATE CUTS LOOM FOR INFLATION SLAYERS

WHILE central banks are gearing up for rate cuts in Europe and the US, closer to home the Reserve Bank of Australia is maintaining its tightening bias according to Bendigo Bank chief economist, David Robertson.

In his latest forecast for interest rates, financial markets, and the domestic economy, Mr Robertson predicts Australian homeowners won’t see rate cuts until at least September, but more likely not until 2025.

“Ultimately RBA rate cuts will depend on core inflation returning to or below 3 per cent, and while the latest Monthly Indicator showed CPI down to 3.4 per cent, the core measure was still up at 3.8 per cent in January, which is exactly where we have forecast it will land in the next quarterly numbers out in late April,” Mr Robertson said.

“The RBA’s preferred measure of core inflation, the Trimmed Mean, was 4.2 per cent at the end of 2023 and should continue to ease, but while a fall to 3.8 per cent may see the RBA remove its tightening bias in the May meeting, it won’t be enough for cuts until September at the earliest.”

Mr Robertson said progress being made on the fight against inflation in overseas markets was encouraging.

“Elsewhere progress on inflation is promising with the US Core PCE down to 2.8 per cent year-on-year, suggesting the Federal Reserve will be cutting rates by June, and similarly for the European Central Bank,” he said.

“While other advanced economy central banks are likely to declare the war on inflation has been won, and start to cut

rates mid-year, there will be increasing calls for the RBA to do the same.

“However, it’s important to keep in mind

that we were around six months behind in the initial tightening cycle, and didn’t hike as aggressively.” ●

Australian Resident

Association CEO Trevor Rawnsley, called for a ban on short-term letting in family homes - which includes Airbnb - a year ago and now says the problem is clearly getting worse.

“Over the past week we’ve seen stories from places like North Queensland and Stradbroke Island of hospitality workers and even long-term residents sleeping in cars or having to leave areas because there is no accommodation available,” he said.

“An effective way to ease the problem is to do what Noosa did, and fix the imbalance by not allowing short-term letting in detached houses without council

approval.”

Mr Rawnsley, whose association represents more than 4,000 accommodation managers who connect on a daily basis with more than 200,000 unit owners, both owner-occupiers and

“Most detached houses on the shortterm letting market are empty most of the

time, depriving the community of valuable long-term accommodation, and in many cases the owners are financially worse off than if they had long-term tenants,” he said.

“It makes no sense.” ●

Softball’s new base

The Laidley Recreation Reserve’s main softball diamond now sports signage to reflect its new name the ‘Col Lee Softball Diamond’.

Last year, Lockyer Valley Region Council sought the community’s input to name the facility, with Council receiving a total of 87 eligible submissions during its recent EOI process, with 77 nominating Mr Lee as the namesake.

The Laidley Recreation Committee hosted a barbecue to mark the event, with Col’s family and friends also on hand to mark the occasion.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council CEO Ian Church said the new signage reflected Mr Lee’s long connection and service to the sport.

“Col has been an active member of the Lockyer Valley sporting community, with in-

volvement in softball in Mulgowie and Laidley over many years,” he said.

“He played for, coached and was president of the Mulgowie Angels while also holding several positions within Ipswich Softball.

“He also worked on the formation of the Lockyer Softball Association and represented softball on the planning committee for the upgrade of the Laidley Recreation Reserve.

“Many of those who submitted EOI nominations attributed their love for and involvement in the sport of softball to Mr Lee.”

Mr Church said the softball diamond currently hosts social and school softball games and hopes the new signage would help young players recognise the great work of volunteers who have paved the way for them.

Local athletes awarded bursaries for successes

Somerset locals have been awarded five excellence Bursaries by council after being recognised in sporting activities at a regional or state level.

Hayden O’Sullivan was awarded $250 after being selected in the U11 Soccer team to attend the State Championships held at Redbank in May 2024.

Samantha Bremmer recieved $250 after being selected in the Metropolitan West School Sport 16-19 years Girls Cricket Team to attend the Queensland School Sport Cricket State Championships at Amberley in March 2024.

Jaxon Griffin and William Sharp were both rewarded with $250 after being se-

lected in the U11 QCSA Westzone’s Soccer team to attend the State Championships at Redbank in May 2024.

Ryder Cochran got the top prize of $500 after being chosen in the Australian Junior Masters at Hunter Valley Golf Club in April 2024.

The funds have been awarded through Council’s Community Assistance Grants program which provides financial support to Somerset residents whose pursuit of excellence results in a higher-level participation of their chosen activity. The bursaries aim to help offset some of the costs associated with competing at events, particularly those outside the region.

Golf, netball, shooting, squash, results all here to see

From page 54

The purpose is for fun and participation, but also to attract future players to the Toogoolawah Golf Club and hopefully some students will reach higher honours in the future. Club members volunteer their time to assist and support students as they learn not only skills but also the etiquette of golf.

SQUASH

Gatton Squash Club

Results – round 6

Tuesday night at the Gatton Squash fixtures saw a variety of great games. From the spirited encounter between Shane Zischke and John Bleakley to the clinical precision of Natalie Mati against Kent Idle spectators were not disappointed. The match of the night belonged to the O’Dea brothers, Kelsey and Aaron. Kelsey, the long-time higher rated player, was the favourite while his younger brother Aaron had returned to squash after an ankle injury. Aaron produced the upset in a thrilling 5 set match which set the crowd alight.

Congratulations to all those who played on the night.
