Somerset Dam set for upgrades in ‘25

By Jesse Hamilton

The dam’s improvement project aims to meet modern engineering and design standards to provide ongoing safety and water security for years to come.

The 2024-25 Queensland Budget included $13 million for planning work for the Somerset Dam Improvement Project.

The enabling works will include the removal of the radial spillway gates, replacement of eight sluice gates, and installation of a drainage curtain.

Procurement is underway for the manufacture of modern, purpose-built and hydraulically operated sluice gates.

Queensland Minister for Water Glenn Butcher said the project would offer plenty of job opportunities across the Somerset Region.

“This is an important and complex project to make sure Somerset Dam continues to withstand extreme flood events into the future and provide water security for years to come,” he said.

“Seqwater has already delivered 13 dam upgrades, and I am pleased to see works commencing on Somerset Dam soon as part of this important program of works in in the Region.

“There’s going to be around 150 jobs throughout the life of the project.”

Breaking the stigma

By Jesse Hamilton

The Rosewood Men’s Health and Wellbeing Expo was held during Men’s Health Week on Friday 14 June at the Rosewood Uniting Church.

The mental health expo was filled with information and resources for men in the aim of breaking down myths and barriers that men face in accessing the support they need to live happier and healthier lives.

Local men were treated to a free burger and refreshments and attended two panels with experts from local support groups who shared their knowledge about health checks, diagnosis, and treatment options for improved mental and physical health.

The Rosewood event had amazing lucky door prizes donated by Bloom Hearing and Rosewood Dental, and everyone walked away with a goodie bag filled with health information and freebies, with still a few of these bags left over that can be collected from the Rosewood Community Centre

for anyone who was not able to attend the event.

Rosewood and District Support Centre community project worker Tia Lancaster said the centre hosts the event annually to inform men of the local support services they can access for their mental health.

“The Rosewood and District Support Centre hold this event every year to highlight the need for self-care and encourage our local men to acknowledge what is going on for them and seek the support they need to seek the diagnosis and treatment that may extend and improve the quality of their lives,” she said.

“The purpose is to demystify and normalise issues that can occur for men and provide connections to the resources and services they may need.

“There is so much information out there by bringing the stallholders and experts to our community we are starting the conversation and making the connection.”

Seqwater Interim CEO Will Harpham said the majority of the early and enabling works are expected to commence on-site in 2025.

“While dams in Queensland were built to very high, internationally accepted safety standards, Somerset Dam was built by 1959, and dam design and engineering standards have evolved significantly since then,” he said.

“As part of the Somerset Dam Improvement Project, Seqwater is pleased to be planning a range of early and enabling works to support future construction on the major dam upgrade planned at this site.”

Seqwater is planning to host drop-in information sessions in July and August 2024 to provide the community with further information about the planned works.

Negotiation masterclass

Scenic Rim fruit and vegetable growers have been urged to “gear up” for a masterclass in negotiating.

The workshop aims to teach growers how to effectively negotiate with retailers and maximise their bottom line.

The masterclass will run for two days starting8AugustintheScenicRimataspecificlocation yet to be confirmed, and will form part of a series of sessions delivered by Queensland’s peak fruit and vegetable body across the state, under the “Geared Up Growers” pilot program.

Queensland Fruit and Vegetable chief executive Rachel Chambers said the workshops will help “level the playing field” between hor-

ticulturalists and retailers.

Ms Chamber said the squeeze on profit margins was the number issue all growers were grappling with.

“While some factors remain outside of our control, skilling up Queensland growers to be the most equipped and empowered negotiators in a highly competitive supply and demand market is well within our control,” she said.

“They know their business better than anyone … now we are just arming them with the knowledge they’ve needed to level the playing field.

Ms Chambers said the masterclasses would

“We know there is a significant power imbalance when it comes to price negotiations for fresh produce,” she said.

“We are going to use insiders to teach our growers the tricks of the trade and can almost guarantee each grower will find something in this course that allows them to save a dollar and earn a dollar, because right now this is what Queensland growers need.

“Whether you’re a seasoned industry professional or a newcomer looking to sharpen your negotiation skills, this Masterclass is a must-attend event.”

Graziers in drought node

By Jesse Hamilton

Healthy Land and Water hosted the Building Grazing Resilience Forum 2024 in Gatton on Wednesday, 12 June, followed by the launch of a new Drought Node for southeast Queensland.

The new Drought Node based in Kilcoy is one of eight hubs around Australia and is part of the broader Southern Queensland and Northern New Wales Innovation Hub.

Funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund, the drought node aims to support landholders and regional communities in building capacity, adaptation, and resilience in responding to drought and other climate risks.

The range of support for southeast Queensland farmers includes the extension and adoption of agtech to soil knowledge, with information to help manage and adapt to a highly variable changing climate and respond to ever-increasing environmental, biosecurity, financial, and market challenges.

The Grazing Resilience Forum featured a cast of presenters showcasing climate resilience information, tools and practices as well as sustainability and natural capital accounting frameworks.

The 80-plus attendees heard from grazing landholders and industry experts alike on topics such as:

· Establishing and maintaining perennial legumes in grazing landscapes.

· Benefits of maintaining healthy soils, diverse perennial pastures with high levels of effective groundcover, and good land condition to better resist land degradation and recover from disturbances such as droughts, floods, wildfires and disease.

· The importance of developing Farm Business Resilience Plans, which take a holistic longterm view of key aspects of any enterprise –natural resources, production, finances and people and promoting support available from a variety of Government, industry and natural

resource management organisations to help farmers develop their plans.

· Measuring and monitoring natural capital –soil health, land condition, native vegetation and biodiversity and benchmarking emissions to make informed decisions on partici-

pation in industry sustainability programs and emerging environmental markets.

· Sharing and learning with other landholders to seek out new information and technologies and trialling new practices which improve sustainability and resilience.

Ambulance committee demonstrates hearts of gold

By Jesse Hamilton

The Lowood Local Ambulance Committee held a breakfast handover on 22 June to transfer vital equipment in support of the Lowood ambulance station.

Lowood Local Ambulance Committee treasurer Kay Paul said the handover was an opportunity to showcase life support equipment demonstrations and hand over essential lifting equipment donated to the station.

“We’re going to demonstrate a defibrillator because we’re in the middle of purchasing that to put on the outside of the station,” she said.

“We will have our paediatrics mannequin out on display, and we’ll be demonstrating the lifting equipment and AED machine.”

The morning tea also paid honours by handing 10-year badges to Lowood ambulance committee members George Baldicini, Graham Lehmann, and Kay Paul.

Mrs Paul was one of the first nurses at the Glenwood Hostel in the 1990s and said the equipment fundraised by a local ambulance

committee for its station is absolutely essential.

“The paediatrics mannequin that we handed over a few years ago was $25,000,” she said.

“None of this stuff is cheap, and it’s equipment the government doesn’t provide.

“So as a committee, we fundraise, and then we purchase this equipment through the ambulance, for the ambulance.

“We’re in the middle of learning CPR, so we’re going to be training groups, including CWAs and schools, for CPR awareness.”

Mrs Paul encouraged new volunteers to take up a fulfilling role supporting the ambulance station.

“It would be good for the younger generation or anyone who lives in the postcode of 4311 and Fernvale to join an important cause in supporting the Lowood station,” she said.

The Lowood Local Ambulance Committee will be hosting an ambulance week fundraising event at the Lowood station in September.

Lowood Ambulance Station paramedics ran public demonstrations and lessons on 22 June.

Bumper crop for carrots

The state government organisation Health and Wellbeing Australia has promoted the health benefits of carrots after a bumper crop in the Scenic Rim.

The region is known as the carrot capital of Queensland, producing about 600 million carrots a year, generally between June and December.

Queensland’s largest carrot grower, Kalfresh, showed support for Health and Wellbeing Queensland’s whole-school healthy eating initiative Pick of the Crop to increase opportunities for Queensland primary school children to learn about and eat more vegetables and fruit. SamanthaWyatt, Pick of the Crop regional coordinator in South East Queensland, said carrots were a tasty, cheap and popular vegetable, particularly for kids who love them for their snap, crunch and fresh taste.

“Carrots are a bang for your buck vegetable for families because they’re affordable all-year round and can be used in a variety of ways no matter if they’re fresh, frozen or canned,” Ms Wyatt said.

“They’re also rich in fibre, which keeps kid’s tummies happy and their digestion on track. Plus the folate in carrots helps support their growth and development.”

Kalfresh CEO Richard Gorman said one of the most successful ways they found to increase the consumption of nutrient-rich vegetables like carrots, was to offer ready-to-eat products like freshly cut carrot sticks, carrot shred and lunchbox-friendly snacking carrots.

“We know kids and parents love carrots and changing the way we serve and pack them has made all the difference,” he said.

“As growers we had food waste, so it’s a winwin.

“We chop and shred the carrots that are too big, too small or too wonky through our Just Veg range of ready-to-eat products, so it’s easier for school tuck shops and families to add them to lunchboxes and everyday meals.”

Mr Gorman said in the past eight or more years Kalfresh had transformed 5.5-million kilograms of carrots from food waste and into healthy snacks.

“We also now grow a smaller snacking carrot that is sweet and perfectly-sized for school lunchboxes and dipping,” he said.

“We love this time of year because it’s when

Queenslanders are eating Queensland carrots. Our farms and factory at Kalbar are in full production and it’s been a great start to the carrot season.”

Tax time scam warning

As tax season approaches, consumer cyber safety brand Norton urges Australians to stay vigilant against emerging tax-related scams.

The warning comes as the company releases new consumer data that reveals 14 per cent of Australians say they have personally experienced cybercrime in the past 12 months, with the average amount lost to cybercrime over $850.

Of those who experienced cybercrime in the last 12 months, 35 per cent detected unauthorised access to an online banking or financial account.

Tax time can bring stress and confusion to individuals and businesses as they prepare to file their returns with the Australian Taxation Office.

It is the perfect environment for cybercriminals who seek to take advantage by trying to obtain sensitive information.

Norton’s APAC Managing Director Mark Gorrie said tax time was a peak time of year for cybercriminals to strike.

“There are certain times each year that pique cybercriminals’ interest and tax time continues to be one of them,” he said.

“With the amount of personal and financial information that is being stored and shared at this time, coupled with the stress that comes with filing tax returns, it is the perfect storm for scammers to target Australians.

“It can be easy to fall into the trap of a scammer offering to ease this burden.

“However, it is important to understand that cyber safety practices should never be sacrificed in exchange for convenience.

“AI is aiding cybercriminals in evolving and developing their devious tactics. It is more important than ever that Australians are continuing to educate themselves on the warning signs.”

Mr Gorrie shared examples of prevalent tax scams to look out for, plus ways to avoid them. Tax-related identity theft: This scam occurs when cybercriminals access a victim’s account, impersonate them, and fraudulently lodge refunds from the ATO using stolen personal information, including your tax file number (TFN). This can be dangerous, as in this instance, the cybercriminal who filed a return with your information may still have your data – leaving you vulnerable to other identity-related crimes. How to avoid this scam: Keep your tax file number safe. Shred any documents that contain personal information before you throw them away, and ensure that your online accounts containing sensitive information, like myGov, are protected with strong passwords and two factor authentication. If you suspect your TFN and identity has been compromised, immediately report the incident to the ATO.

Consider using a robust security software. This will help protect your personal devices and information, and act as a first line of defence against attempts by criminals to steal or compromise your personal information. ATO impersonation scams: Cybercriminals will pose as ATO representatives to convince victims to provide their bank

details, tax file number, or other personal information via SMS, email, or social media accounts. Additionally, in January this year, the ATO issued a warning about scammers posing as ATO workers on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and other popular social media platforms. These phony accounts prey on social media users who have made public comments addressing the ATO with a question or complaint. The scammer sends their victim a direct message, offering to assist in resolving the issue. After gaining trust, the scammer attempts to obtain personal information.

How to avoid this scam:

Look out for tell-tale signs of a scam. The ATO won’t use urgent threats, such as arrest, payment, or suspension of your TFN. If contacted via social media by a newly created unverified account with a small follower account, delete the message. The ATO only has official accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn –legitimised with verification ticks and over 10 years of activity.

If you receive a suspected scam email or SMS, do not click on any links, provide any

payments, account log in information, or other personal information. To help people navigate the online world safely with digital tools, Norton Genie is a free app that detects scams by reviewing suspicious texts, emails, and web and let’s you know if it is legit.

Occasionally, the ATO will contact you by phone, email, SMS, and post. If you are not sure about the validity of any communication, the best thing to do is to call the ATO directly. You can obtain a phone number from their official website, or a previous letter you have received, and validate the request.

APAC Managing Director for Norton Mark Gorrie said tax time is a peak time of year for cybercriminals to strike.

Fair funtime

By Grace Crichton

The Laidley Spring Garden Fair has a new home this year, but will still offer everything a gardener’s heart could desire.

Held in conjunction with the Laidley Spring Festival in September, the fair will take place at the Laidley Recreation Grounds on the corner of Edward and Patrick Streets.

Laidley Garden Club secretary Cec Crees said the club would replicate past fairs, traditionally held at the Laidley Cultural Centre, in a marquee set up alongside other Spring Festival attractions.

“We’re all going to be in one area, which is going to make it a lot easier for some patrons,” he said.

The Garden Fair will include stalls with all your garden needs, guest speakers, and plenty of plants.

“A full range of products that are garden ori-

entated,” Mr Crees said.

There will be a shuttle bus to transport visitors around the festival precinct to help relieve parking.

In preparation for the Laidley Spring Festival, Laidley Garden Club president Eileen Zahnow encouraged locals to enter the Garden Competition.

“The garden competition will be happening again to involve all the local gardeners,” she said.

“We’d like to see as much interest as possible because the visitors then go and visit the winning gardens afterwards.”

The Laidley Garden Fair will be held on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 September.

Entry is by gold coin donation to the Royal Flying Doctors.

Lockyer schools celebrate a musical NAIDOC week

Mt Whitestone and Ma Ma Creek State School celebrated the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a NAIDOC Week celebration on 19 June.

Lockyer school children and families joined in and experienced a performance called Didjeribone through a uniquely Australian music experience using face bass and cutting-edge music.

The combination of the instruments and technology was when true magic happened, with haunting wind, howling dingoes, and humorous kookaburra sounds created with the Digjeribone.

Tjupurru quickly had the children greeting him and responding to his questions in

the language of his ancestors the Djabera Djabera people from the Kimberly region of Western Australia.

Mt Whitestone State School Principal Leticia de Mey said learning about Australia’s Indigenous culture was an integral part of the students’ education.

“It was wonderful to see how engaged the students and families were throughout the whole show,” she said.

“Tjupurru shared his culture, his language and his knowledge of the land through fun interactive stories using the digeribone which had us all memorised.

“It was truly an amazing learning opportunity for us all”

Fireants on march in school holidays

By Larraine Sathicq

With the National Red Fire Ant Program packing up and leaving the fight to local councils and landowners, the battle could be costly to residents.

The Invasive Species Council has issued an appeal to residents to watch and report fire ant activity over the winter school holidays, with dire predictions about what will happen if the problem is allowed to spread across Australia.

These include a 40 percent drop in agriculture output, 60 percent of people being stung with 140,000 extra medical visits and more than 3,000 anaphylactic reactions every year as well as costing the national economy $2 billion dollars every year.

They said fire ants could cause damage to water and electrical infrastructure and would be worse than cane toads, rabbits, foxes and feral cats combined.

Invasive Species Council advocacy manager Reece Pianta urged Queenslanders to report fire ants when visiting holiday destinations in south-east Queensland.

“Over the school holidays, thousands of Australian families will be heading to places like the Gold Coast or Byron Bay for a holiday or going out camping with the kids on Minjerribah or the Sunshine Coast,” he said

“Sadly these incredible holiday spots are at risk of a fire ant invasion, so we’re asking Australian families to step up and join the fire ant fight these school holidays.

“It’s really easy to do your part. Just take a picture of any suspicious ants and report it.”

The Army Reserve was on show when the 25th/49th Battalion of the Royal Queensland Regiment held opened the doors at its University of Queensland Gatton depot on 18 June.

Promoting part-time employment opportunities and providing insights into Army Reserve life the evening enabled potential recruits to engage directly with serving soldiers.

Attendees learnt about the roles available, the flexibility that Army Reserve service provides to fit around their lifestyle, the ability to choose the number of days they worked, the ability to serve close to home, and the tax-free pay they receive while doing this.

They were also provided an insight into the training they would undergo to equip them with the skills and knowledge to undertake their new chosen role.

25/49 RQR spokesman, John Sipple, said that Army Reserve service provided roles to suit an individual’s skills and interests whilst fitting in around their civilian lives.

“It also provides a challenge outside everyday life,” he said.

25/49 RQR has its headquarters at Greenbank with company headquarters located at Toowoomba, Logan Lea and Southport. Across the Darling Downs, it also has depots at Gatton, Warwick, Dalby, Wondai and Roma.

Men’s health in spotlight

MENTAL HEALTH

June 10-16 was Men’s Health Week and we are reminded of how easily injuries can occur by incidents in recent high profile football matches.

The days of macho men continuing to play or work with serious injuries are past, as more of the legends of sport open up about the mental costs to themselves over the years.

A broken jaw is obvious, but the damage to the bit between the ears is not so obvious.

Organisations such as Beyond Blue make a huge effort to overcome the male stigma of acknowledging the possible existence of mental health issues derived from sport or work.

Unfortunately, there is another shadow hanging over modern generations, and that is the alarming increase in substance abuse.

Recent reports indicate that Australia is bedevilled with this disease.

The use of cocaine is increasing exponentially with users blissfully unaware of the long term impact of this insidious drug.

Serotonin, which is the chemical that controls the moods in our brain, is steadily eroded by any illicit substance.

Medical science clearly shows that the body does not naturally replace serotonin, so whatever thrills there are initially have a severe long term cost to pay.

The further serotonin is reduced by any circumstances, the more erratic a person’s tem-

perament will become.

Low levels of serotonin can lead to suicidal depression, which occurs in the sub-conscious and is very hard to control.

It is not what goes wrong in your life that matters.

BEYOND BLUE VOLUNTEER SPEAKER

Small price to pay for local Independent news.

TheLockyerandSomersetIndependenttomovetoThursdaypublicationday andbecomeapaidnewspaperfromJuly4.

Dear readers,

Since founding the Lockyer and Somerset Independent four years ago following the closure of The Star newspaper, our commitment has been to help keep this community connected, hold the powerful to account and to fight for a fair share of investment from state and federal governments.

A community without a local newspaper is a community without a voice.

The rise of social media has positives, but it has also brought many negative consequences to our communities, including being the most destructive force to independent local news publishing in history.

Facebook uses its monopolistic power to make a fortune from ‘sharing’ local news that we pay to produce, and they have recently announced they will defy Australian law and stop paying news publishers like the Lockyer and Somerset Independent.

This is devastating to our business, but we are proud and determined to carry on.

From the start of July we’re asking readers to pay $3 per week to buy our newspaper or read our news online. We believe the journalism we produce is well worth a few dollars per week to keep independent local news alive in the Lockyer and Somerset regions.

We hope you agree.

As the only newspaper and online news service for the region, we’ll continue to advocate for local community and sporting groups, schools, and leaders fighting for a fair share of investment in infrastructure to keep our community healthy, connected, and vibrant.

We’re proud to be investing in local independent journalism for the Lockyer and Somerset communities, and we thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Bruce Horrocks, Founder and General Manager.

WHERE TO BUY

From 4 July, The Independent will be available to purchase from these outlets for $3 per paper every Thursday.

Our skaters rumbling in

By Jesse Hamilton

Gatton was home to an epic battle as the Rumble AM Series skateboarding competition coasted into the region on Saturday, 22 June.

The event brought together skilled skaters from the local area and across Queensland, competing in categories from the nine and under mixed heat to the opens division.

Council’s Sport and Recreation Portfolio councillor Anthony Wilson said it was an opportunity to support the best local skateboarders as they battled it out.

“It’s an exciting afternoon filled with tricks and flips of skateboarding action, coupled with intense competitions and jaw-dropping tricks,” he said.

skilled skaters from as far away as Noosa and Byron Bay.

Winter in the Lockyer Valley brings crisp mornings and chilly evenings, a welcome change from the summer heat. However, it alsoushersinacommonbutoftenoverlooked problem: dry skin. As temperatures drop and humidity levels decrease, many people ﬁnd their skin becoming rough, ﬂaky, and itchy. At Lockyer Valley Pharmacy, we want to ensure you are well-prepared to combat these seasonal skin challenges.

Dry skin during winter is primarily caused by the loss of moisture due to cold air, wind, and indoor heating. These factors strip away the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, you can keep your skin healthy and hydrated throughout the colder months.

First and foremost, moisturize regularly. Opt for thicker, oil-based moisturizers that create a protective barrier against the harsh winter elements. Apply immediately after showering when your skin is still damp to lock in moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides, which are highly eﬀective in hydrating and repairing the skin.

Secondly, be mindful of your bathing habits. Long, hot showers might feel wonderful

in the cold, but they can exacerbate dry skin. Instead, use lukewarm water and limit your shower time to avoid stripping your skin of essential oils. Gentle, fragrance-free cleansers are also recommended to prevent further irritation.

Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial. While it’s easy to drink less water in winter, maintaining adequate hydration helps your skin stay supple and resilient. Complement this with a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support skin health.

At LockyerValley Pharmacy, we offer a range of products specifically designed to combat dry winter skin. Our knowledgeable staff are always available to help you choose the best solutions tailored to your needs.

Lastly, you may have noticed some changes happening at our pharmacy.We are working on something new and exciting to enhance your experience and provide even better service. Stay tuned for updates—great things are coming soon!

Stay healthy and hydrated this winter, and let Lockyer Valley Pharmacy be your partner in achieving and maintaining beautiful healthy skin.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council teamed up with the BMD Rumble Pro Tour to reintroduce the Rumble AM Series to the local area.

Kalbar show a cracker

By Larraine Sathicq

Kalbar put on a cracker of a country agriculture show on 21 and 22 June to celebrate the 94th anniversary of the annual event.

With free entry at the gate, the show attracted crowds from near and far who came to take in the displays of local produce and animals.

Competition was fierce on the paddock for dog, horse and cattle judging.

Entertainment included music from local musicians including the Freiberg family and Kalbar State School with their band aptly names Primarily Rock.

In the cattle judging arena local breeders vied for glory and included students from Beaudesert and Boonah high schools.

Also present were Scenic Rim MP Jon Krause, Mayor Tom Sharp and Deputy Mayor Duncan McInnes.

For children there was face painting, puppet shows, dinosaur presentations, rides and of course showbags.

Festivities continued into the evening with the SEQ Tractors Dachshund Races, a thrilling performance from the high-flying Aussie FMX team and a fireworks display.

Kalbar State School students perform in the school band, Primarily Rock on the main stage.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council’s 2023-24 Bitumen Reseal program has resealed around 170,000m2 of existing road pavement.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council Infrastructure Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said that equated to 22 local roads.

“Council’s Bitumen Reseal program involves spraying a thin film of bitumen across the road surface, followed by adding small stones on top of the bitumen film,” he said.

“This works to form a waterproof and structural layer on top of the road, which is also dust-free, that works to improve the skid resistance of the road surface.

“Not only does this reduce the occurrence of potholes and cracks forming but extends the lifespan of the region’s road network, in-

cluding roads and streets, along the way.

“While this isn’t always guaranteed, it does make a difference and is another step Council is taking to ensure we provide a safe and wellmaintained road network for our residents.”

Final seals have been completed, with line marking to follow soon.

The program is jointly funded by both Council and the Australian Government through the Roads to Recovery Program (RTR) providing over $5.5 million in funding to Lockyer Valley Regional Council.

The RTR Program supports maintenance of the nation’s local road infrastructure asset, which facilitates greater access for Australians and improved safety, economic and social outcomes.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council has extended the life of 22 local roads through its 2023-24 Bitumen Reseal program.

The Guide

SILENT WITNESS

ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

Before CSIand its multitude of spin-off shows graced our screens, there was SilentWitness. And the gripping UK crime drama is still going strong, almost three decades later. The award-winning show follows pathologist Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox, pictured), forensic expert Jack Hodgson (David Caves) and their dedicated team as they help police across the UK solve chilling murders by letting the victim – the “silent witness” – speak. In tonight’s season 26 finale, the evidence is mounting against an accused police officer as the local criminal investigation department finds dissent within their ranks. The team unveils corruption and deceit, with deadly consequences.

TENNIS: WIMBLEDON

9Gem, Monday, from 8pm; continues on Nine from 9.45pm

Break out the white slacks, a bowl of strawberries and cream and even a Pimm’s cup – it’s that time of year again. The world’s tennis elite converge on SW19 for two weeks to catch some rare London sunshine and hopefully etch their name into the Grand Slam’s history books (the record £50 million prize pot also wouldn’t hurt). Though the time difference isn’t too friendly to us Aussies, avid sports fans can begin building their late-night viewing stamina here ahead of the Paris Olympics, with host Roz Kelly, and expert commentators Jelena Dokic (pictured) and Brenton Speed ready to take us through every point. Local hopes Alex de Minaur and two-time quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic lead the charge.

PICK OF THE WEEK

MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA

10, Sunday, 7.30pm

Fresh from their adventures in the flourishing foodie paradise of Hong Kong, the top seven contestants are back in Melbourne, brimming with inspiration for their next dishes. But as judgesJean-Christophe Novelli, Poh Ling Yeow, Andy Allen and Sofia Levin (pictured from left) reveal, it’s not necessarily a warm welcome that awaits – rather, it’s the timeauction elimination. As we all know, the most valuable thing in the MasterChefkitchen isn’t truffles, lobster or caviar, it’s time. Starting with 120 minutes and the usual under-bench staples (minus eggs – those cost extra), the contestants bid using their time for more ingredients, category by category – but which cook takes it too far? Only time will tell.

TIPPING POINT AUSTRALIA OLYMPIC SPECIALS

Nine, Tuesday, 7.30pm

Surely there’s no stronger competitive spirit than that of an Olympian – but will the famously difficult TippingPointmachine reward their efforts? In this edition of the game show hosted by tennis ace Todd Woodbridge (pictured) –the first of two prime-time specials featuring Australia’s sporting stars – three of our nation’s swimming legends dive headfirst into a general knowledge quiz to raise money for their chosen charities. Olympic gold medallist Libby Trickett, Paralympic champion Blake Cochrane and multiple world record holder Emily Seebohm compete against each other to see who can make the biggest splash in the machine and raise the most cash.

Next to represent Gatton

By Grace Crichton and Jesse Hamilton

Forest Hill’s Caffe Sorella was home toThe Gatton Show’s Showgirl and Rural Ambassador competition on 22 June as entrants geared up to vie for the opportunity to represent their region for the upcoming show season.

Entrants had the opportunity to be interviewed about their knowledge, ambitions, and involvement in their local area in front of a judging panel consisting of Toogoolawah Show Society president Vern Doyle, West Moreton Brisbane Valley Sub Chamber Rural Ambassador Stephanie Laycock, and the Independent’s Grace Crichton.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council mayor Tanya Milligan, Deputy Mayor Chris Wilson, and past Showgirls and Rural Ambassadors also attended, sharing wisdom and providing public speaking advice for entrants.

West Moreton Brisbane Valley Sub Chamber Rural Ambassador Stephanie Laycock said she was excited about the diverse range of entrants Gatton had this year.

“They’re all from very different aspects of the industry,” she said.

“We had a mechanic, we had a local girl working in retail in town who’s wanting to get more involved in the industry, and then another girl’s working in the rural aspect of the healthcare industry.

“I think it’s really important to try to encourage the younger generations to get involved in the community and the show societies.

“We’re getting to a point now where the people who are running the events have been doing it for as long as they can remember, and there needs to be young people coming through to support them.”

Toogoolawah Show Society president Vern Doyle said Gatton is in good hands after meeting this year’s entrants.

“The calibre was quite good,” he said.

“They had great knowledge about the Lockyer Valley.

“They had great involvement with the show, and it’s great to see young people put themselves out there to present themselves and get

OLDER RESIDENTS IN BETTER HOMES

THE Retirement Living Council has welcomed the findings of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s “Injury in Australia” report as an important reminder about the benefits of age-appropriate housing.

The AIHW report found that 296,490 people over the age of 65 presented to emergency departments with injuries across the country in 2022-23, with the highest likelihood of injury occurring after age 75.

Falls were most common amongst those aged over 75, accounting of 46 per cent of reported falls leading to hospitalisations.

It also found there were 20,200 cases of women aged 80-84 being hospitalised with injuries during this time period, representing the highest number of cases for any female age cohort.

Council Executive Director Daniel Gannon said the report’s findings should be instructive for governments as they manage the country’s dual health and housing crises.

“There are 1.4 million Australians over the age of 75 who live in homes that aren’t necessarily suitable for their ageing needs, which is leading to trips, falls and increased interaction with GPs and hospitals,” Mr Gannon said.

“Retirement village residents are 20 per cent less likely to require hospitalisation after only nine months living in one of these communities, which leads to 14,000 avoided annual hospitalisations across Australia.

“As a consequence, age-friendly communities are minimising the interactions older Australians have with GPs and hospitals, while importantly delaying entry into taxpayer funded aged care.

“Compared to people who don’t live in a retirement community, residents are also 15 per cent more physically active, 41 per cent happier, five times more socially active, twice as likely to catch up with family or friends and have reduced levels of depression and loneliness.

“All of this reduced interaction with health systems generates $945 million in annual savings for the Australian Government while at the same time freeing up aged care beds for increasing demand.

“Given the issues highlighted in this report from the AIHW and the impending demographic ‘silver tsunami’, governments need to do everything they can to unleash more housing supply that keeps people healthier and happier for longer,” he said. ●

TRAINING SCHEME FOR APPRENTICES

scheme which offers free

to all Queenslanders, funded under the government’s Homes for Queenslanders plan, will train up to 2,250 extra carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, and electricians and more over the next two years.

This will bring the total number of projected construction apprenticeships to more than 13,000 in the next two years.

The investment will help more Queenslanders into high-skill and wellpaid construction careers, allowing them to play their part in building more homes along with benefitting from the biggest decade of infrastructure delivery in Queensland’s history.

Previously announced initiatives under the Homes for Queenslanders Construction Workforce Fund include a $2

million Housing Construction Traineeship Fund and the $4 million Free Tools for First Years program.

Minister for Housing Meaghan Scanlon said the the scheme was important for making more homes available.

“For the first time, construction apprenticeships are free to Queenslanders of all ages,” Ms Scanlon said.

“We don’t just want more Queenslanders to take up a good career in construction, we need them so we can build more Homes for Queenslanders.

“With free apprenticeships and $1,000 cash-back on tools for first-years, there’s never been a better time to be a tradie.

“It’s a stark contrast to the LNP who shut down TAFEs and took the axe to Queensland’s public builder QBuild,” she said. ●

The scheme will bring the total number of projected construction apprenticeships to more than 13,000 in the next two years.

Wheelie walkers, safety rails and access ramps are among the necessities for elderly Australians hoping to remain independent as they age.

Premium people-mover

By Alistair Kennedy, Marque Motoring

Launched here in 2019 the Toyota Granvia effectively replaced the long-running Tarago people mover. At the same time, it moved its target audience beyond the family friendly transporter into the high-end hospitality and corporate market.

To do so, Granvia had to increase in size and it measures 5300mm long and 1990 mm high. That’s 505mm longer and 240mm higher than the last Tarago and takes Granvia into modern minibus territory.

Granvia is offered in two spec levels, Standard and Granvia VX, each with the choice of six or eight seats.

The entry-level six-seater comes to market for $68,306 plus on-road costs, the eight-seater adds $2000 while both the VX six and eight seaters share the same $77,476 price tag.

POWERTRAIN

Both Granvia variants use same engine, a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel. It delivers 130 kW of power at 3400 rpm and 450 Nm between 1600 and 2400 rpm to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel consumption is just 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined urban / highway cycle, while emitting 211 g/km carbon dioxide.

STYLING

Only its designers could call Granvia stylish although, from the front, with its robust radiator grille, the big Toyota has an imposing presence.

There are sliding doors on either side, both with an easy close function to open and shut smoothly. They are manually operated in the Standard, and powered in the VX.

Large windows let in plenty of light and highlight the light-coloured upholstery the test VX and give all six occupants an expansive view of the passing scenery.

A high-lift tailgate opens up to give access to the cargo area.

Other features include auto LED headlights, taillights, fog lamps and daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and chrome garnishes.

Four exterior colours are offered Graphite, Ebony, Crystal Pearl and Silver Pearl.

Comfort and convenience take top billing in the GranviaVX cabin.The six-seater features a spacious rear cabin with four individual captain’s chairs with armrests, reclining backrests and a sliding seat base of more than 50 cm ensuring easy access and the ability to accommodate a variety of passengers in comfort.

The four captain’s chairs, along with the driver’s seat, are all power-operated with the rear seats incorporating a power ottoman leg rest, adjustable headrest and solid armrests with all seats finished in a luxe quilted leatheraccent upholstery.

Further welcome additions include keyless smart entry and start, front and rear climate control, rear sun shade blinds, nanoe dehumidifier, leather-accented / woodgrain-look steering wheel, synthetic leather / woodgrainlook door trim, front and rear, 12-volt accessory sockets and six rear USB power points.

A 2022 upgrade added powered lumbar support for the driver’s seat.

INFOTAINMENT

An 8.0-inch colour touchscreen display takes in satellite navigation with SUNA live traffic, Bluetooth connectivity with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driver gets a smaller, 4.2-inch multi-information display.

Sound for the entry-level Granvia comes through a 6-speaker system while the VX steps up to a premium 12-speaker Pioneer unit.

Voice recognition and Siri Eyes Free are available and Aux and seven USB ports, one in the front and the other six in the rear.

SAFETY

Standard safety features include nine airbags, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera with guidelines, panoramic view monitor, auto-dimming digital rear-view mirror and nine airbags.

VX adds a panoramic view monitor.

Also standard is the Toyota Safety Sense with driver assistance features that include pre-collision safety system with pedestrian detection (day and night) and cyclist detection

(day only), high-speed active cruise control, lane departure alert, road sign assist and automatic high beam.

All models get 17-inch alloy wheels and a full-size spare.

DRIVING

Entry and exit through the sliding side doors is made easier by a 50 cm opening and grab handles.

However, out the back, the amount of effort needed to alter the seating arrangements, or open and close the hatch could be a challenge to all but the fittest.

Likewise, the absence of a powered tailgate makes access to the rear luggage area difficult.

The beefy Granvia takes up a good ‘acreage’ on the road and has a reasonable 11.0-metre turning circle, so a clear view all round is important. Front and sides are okay but it runs into trouble behind, with the plush seats blocking the majority of the rear window.

On the move, there’s little fault to the Granvia, apart from a sluggish take-off. Things look up as the minibus stretches its legs.Wind noise intrudes at higher speeds and watch the speed on tight bends – understeer and body roll are

twin traps for the unwary.

Pulling up is safely taken care of large ventilated discs on each wheel, with twin-pot callipers up front and single calliper brakes on the rear. Braking system is backed up by a range of technologies including anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, traction control, hill-start assist and trailer sway control.

Also on board is an electronically-controlled limited-slip diff that applies the brakes to individual wheels to ensure drive torque is delivered to the rear wheel with the most grip.

SUMMARY

Fit for purpose best describes theToyota Granvia – ‘purpose’ being the movement of up to eight people in comfort and safety. Best leave it to the professional, a chauffeur, perhaps.

It’s excellent and luxurious interior together with the six-seat option and captain’s chairs suggests that Granvia natural habitat is much more likely to be premium hotel forecourts than suburban driveways and school parking areas.

The Granvia is covered by Toyota’s five-year unlimited kilometre warranty. Or 160,000 kilometres if used for commercial operation.

BRISBANE VALLEY RATTLERS

Brisbane Valley 5.5.35 vs Southport 19.10.124

The Rattlers took on the top of the table Southport Sharks on Friday night at Fernvale Sports Park. The Sharks travelled well and in good conditions, took control early maintaining a steady lead throughout. The Rattlers fought on but some skill errors allowed the Sharks to put the game away comfortably. The Rattlers high risk game plan cost them on turnover but they still scored well against the Sharks, compared to most other teams in the competition.

No 50m penalties were paid which is generally a good indicator that we maintained discipline even when frustrated. The Sharkies are a quality team and playing well below their grade in this Division, but were a respectful group of blokes and it was a fun night regardless. We got to see how well they used the run off the half back line and got numbers to the footy. We’ll take some lessons from arguably the best team in the competition and look forward to our run into finals.

Round 12 will see the Rattlers take on Coolangatta for their last away game of the season before playing the remainder of the season at Fernvale Sports Park Friday nights at 7.30pm. BOWLS

LOCKYER VETERANS

Over 50s

Brisbane Green v Lockyer over 50s at McPherson Oval Bracken Ridge 15th June.

Batting first, Brisbane made five for 169 off 45 overs.

In the run chase Lockyer were 4-67, but then fought back to a position of needing three runs off the last ball of the day to win. Brisbane got the last wicket with that ball and won by two runs. Jason Neuendorff 57n/o, and Darryl McNamarra 21 were the main contributors.

Over 60s

TOOWOOMBA O60s v Lockyer at Kingsthorpe Recreation Reserve 22nd June

On a chilly morning under cloudy but clearing skies, Lockyer opted to bat first on a pitch which appeared to offer the bowlers some help

all day.

A steady start, on a pitch which was showing some uneven bounce, saw Lockyer reach 1/38 after 14 overs before a collapse of 5/23 to be 6/61 in the 19th over. Nev Maroske and Gary Rule built the score with a 34 run partnership. Some solid lower order batting saw Lockyer bowled out for a competitive total of 134, (boosted by a total of 27 wides bowled by Toowoomba) in the 45th over.

Main scorers for Lockyer were Nev Maroske (23 retired no) with Garry Hutchinson and Peter Webb both on 19.

A superb bowling effort from the Lockyer attack, including a wicket off the first legal delivery, under what were now clear sunny skies, saw Toowoomba collapse to 9/39 inside their first 15 overs. Wickets were shared between Bill Jeffrey (4/24), Garry Hutchinson (3/19) and Damian Brazier (2/13). Garry Hutchinson also completed a fine diving catch to dismiss the dangerous Gillespie.

A late flurry of runs from the last 2 Toowoomba batsmen saw the score progress to 62 before the final wicket fell giving a comfortable victory to Lockyer for their second win of the season.

On Saturday 6th July, Lockyer Over 60s welcome Sunshine Coast Gold to Ropehill for the final home game this year.

Lockyer: netball winners

By Jesse Hamilton

The Lockyer Valley Netball Association has been bustling with activity recently, hosting its season 1 senior grand final on 19 April and welcoming the community to an entertaining trivia night on 14 June.

In the senior grand finals, the Goal Diggers withheld Def Wish us Luck in a tight contest in the mixed final, winning 23-21.

The Buckets dominated the Ladies Division 1 final handing the Def Wildcats a 40 to 13 defeat.

The Noughty-40 managed to outlast Def Hoops I have done it again in the second Ladies Division final, securing a 26 to 20 win.

Lockyer Valley Netball Association had a highly successful evening of trivia night, which resulted in a profit of $ 1600.

The theme, ‘Through the Decades, ‘ encouraged plenty of throwback outfits from the 1970s to present day.

Laidley hosts touch finals

By Jesse Hamilton

Laidley Touch held an entertaining and highly competitive conclusion to its winter touch campaign on the night of Monday, 17 June.

After fifteen rounds, a combination of new and returning teams entered the championship this season, with Uncos crowned the A Grade Mixed winner in a topsy-turvy match with the Layabouts to open the night.

The Waterboys were winners in the A grade finals against team Gammin, while the Golden Oldies took out the B grade mixed comp.

Laidley Touch president Jill Ilka said this season experienced an excellent blend of family members trying out the sport and said touch had significant social and fitness benefits.

“We’ve got a lot of families playing now,” she said.

“There are a few dads and mums, and their kids are starting to play.

“They just love the social element, I think they just like coming and having a run.

“The teams are small enough that six or seven friends from school could come here and form their own team.

“That’s what a group of Laidley High School boys did, they didn’t win any in their first season but only just missed out on the fourth spot this year.”

Touch consists of 7 players and 20 minute

halves, with a junior comp running for 7-12 year olds at Laidley rec grounds on Monday nights. Ilka who has been on the Laidley Touch

committee since 1985 said the club will be commemorating 50 years in 2025.

“Next year will be our 50th year of touch, so we’re going to plan for a reunion and have as

many returning players and committee members as we can,” she said.

The next season of Laidley Touch will commence on 15 July.
