Local news history boxed up It’s said that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. The Westerner recently received a phone call from Ted, a former Mt Nebo resident who had “something you may be interested in”. While ‘decluttering’ his Brisbane home, the senior gentlemen stumbled upon several boxes full of old issues of community newspapers, some of which date back to the late-1990s. Upon collecting the boxes from the man’s house, I found old copies of The Westerner and Samford Times (the name by which the paper was originally known) that had long been lost from our archives. The boxes also contained copies of other community papers – some defunct (South Pine Chronicle, Mountain News) and some still in operation (Village Pump). The papers, with ads for video shops and fax machines, are a wonderful time capsule of an era when the district seemed smaller and its public figures younger – Federal MP for Dickson and current Immigration Minister Peter Dutton with a full head of hair, and very young future Olympic legends Lisa Skinner and Bronte Barratt before they became world-beaters. Thanks for the memories, Ted! – Lee Oliver, Editor
Alpha Mail unique letterboxes in the neighbourhood
spotted at Dayboro It’s made of wood and metal but we’re not sure what type of animal this letterbox, sitting atop a quiet street in the heart of Dayboro, is supposed to be. Is it a donkey, or maybe a rabbit, or perhaps a dog? We reckon it would surely raise the eyebrow of any postal worker who drops a letter into it, and make them chuckle – or even get a fright during an early evening mail run during a dark winter.
Samford To Ferny Grove Cycle Link Stage 2 – Have Your Say The planning phase for Stage 2 of the Samford to Ferny Grove Cycle Link project is underway.

news Council goes in to bat for residents By Lee Oliver
T
he Moreton Bay Regional Council believes higher levels of government should handle troublesome bats – and the other local councils around Queensland agree. Moreton Bay Council moved a motion at last month’s Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) Conference on the Gold Coast, calling on the State and Federal Governments to take over the management of flying fox colonies. The motion was passed unopposed by council delegates at the conference, and the LGAQ will lobby the Queensland and Australian Governments for the change. “There is no doubt that living in close proximity to flying fox colonies can be distressing for local residents,� Moreton Bay Deputy Mayor Mike Charlton said. “It is pleasing that Queensland councils have supported our motion to see a coordinated approach delivered to the management of flying fox colonies in this state.� A Moreton Bay Regional Council spokes-
person said council currently monitors and manages flying fox colonies “in accordance with the restrictions and guidelines set out by the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection�. They said all three species of flying foxes found in the Moreton Bay Region are protected under the State Government’s Nature Conservation Act 1992. Grey-headed flying foxes, populations of which are presently located in Samford Valley and at Ferny Hills, are listed as a vulnerable species under the Australian Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1992. The spokesperson said Council’s operational budget for the management of flying fox populations for the 2016-17 fiscal year was $150,000. Council keeps a record of flying fox roosts around Moreton Bay at www.moretonbay. qld.gov.au/flyingfoxmonitoring. The webpage states that currently there are large flying fox roosts located at Albany Creek, Samford Valley, Ferny Hills, Redcliffe, Caboolture, Sandstone Point, Burpengary, Bongaree and Woodford.
Westerner Flashback The
In 2016, The Westerner community newspaper celebrates its 20th birthday: two decades of informing and entertaining the residents of Pine Rivers, and later the Moreton Bay Region. To celebrate the milestone, this year we are going back through the archives to revisit some of the biggest and most entertaining stories printed over the past 20 years. THIS WEEK IN 1998: The long-awaited Samford Community Hall edged closer to becoming a reality when plans for the public venue were unveiled in Samford Times (later renamed The Westerner) this week 18 years ago. The following edition of Samford Times featured a story about Pine Rivers Shire councillors supporting the project and plans to obtain government and community funding for the enterprise. Plans for the “multi-purpose hall for sport, music, drama, art exhibits (and) seminars� featured a full-size basketball court “with quality timber floor�, a stage for music and theatre productions, and seating capacity for 1000 people. The concept plan for the community hall was ditched a couple of years later and designers went back to the ‘drawing board’. The Samford Community Hall finally opened next to Samford State School in 2003 after “lots of consultation, planning and then the construction phase�, according to Bob Millar, the former long-serving councillor for the Samford district.

Horse riders hitting new lake trails
B Michele Smith, Samford Valley Michele is a volunteer with the Millen Farm Real Farmers’ Markets, which grows and sells fresh produce at its community farm at Samford Valley. The best thing about Millen Farm’s produce… It is super fresh and seasonal as it is picked on the morning of the market. And you can’t get lower food miles than the 47 metres from the growing beds to the market stall! Food that is grown at the farm… It depends on the season. Coming into summer, (farmer) Arran is growing tomatoes, zucchini, Asian greens, cucumber, eggplant, capsicum, okra and chilies. My favourite food grown at Millen Farm... Kohlrabi. It’s finished now until next year but it’s sweet and crunchy and can be eaten all sorts of ways. Looks gorgeous too. My interest in organic food growing began… when I wanted to feed my babies organic food. I started a small vegie patch and just kept growing, becoming more and more interested in food and where it comes from. The best thing about living where I do… Being surrounded by trees, waking to a gorgeous view each day and knowing people in the local community. The best piece of advice I have been given… “It’ll settle down” was advice from a landlord about lino coming off the floor but applicable to almost every situation. When I’m parenting, having health issues, worries, gardening – I realise they’ll eventually ‘settle down’. If a biography was written about me it would be called… Just One L. My name is usually misspelled. In ten years’ time… I’ll get to see what Millen Farm and the Samford Commons precinct have become. I can’t wait to see the transformation. Plus, my fruit trees should be abundant by then.
The Millen Farm Real Farmers’ Markets are open each Wednesday from 2pm to 5pm at 2204 Mt Samson Road, Samford Valley. Millen Farm’s 2016 Open Day and AGM is on 13 November from 10am. Visit www.facebook.com/MillenFarm.
ush trails around Lake Samsonvale have been opened to horse riders, though some believe the recreation space could be better utilised. More than 7km of trails were opened to public use by Seqwater, following public consultation into the recreational uses of dams and lakes by the State Government. Jim Pruss from Seqwater said community feedback from its 2013 Recreation Review had influenced the decision to open a network of multi-use trails to the public. “Based on the feedback we received, it was clear people wanted more trails so they could get out and experience the great outdoors,” Mr Pruss said. “These new, scenic trails allow both locals and tourists to take advantage of greater recreational opportunities such as bushwalking, mountain bike riding, birdwatching and horse riding.” Previously the trails were only used for maintenance purposes. Dayboro Pony Club President Alison Price welcomed the opening of the “lovely” bush routes, saying they were “some of the most immaculate I’ve ever ridden”. “We are loving having somewhere safe off the road to ride,” Ms Price said. “We recently held a club muster at the trail and it was the first opportunity for a trail ride for many riders who usually only ride in an arena or enclosed space.”
Seqwater has opened nature trails at Lake Samsonvale, which were officially opened by members of the Dayboro Trail Riders and Dayboro Pony Clubs.
She said access to the nature trails and a car park for vehicles with horse floats at the end of Postmans Track is “far more than we ever expected”. However, Ms Price is disappointed that the trail is limited at 7km and “doesn’t take advantage of some of the spectacular water views” around the lake. “Unfortunately, Seqwater didn’t consult the horse riding community about trails as they originally promised during the Recreation Review,” Ms Price said. “As a result they have opened a 7km trail and spent a small fortune on a carpark which probably won’t get used a great deal, because 7km is not really a long enough trail to load horses into a float and travel for a ride. “Still, 7km is better than nothing and for many of our younger riders this is one of the few safe trail riding options in the area.”
Dayboro Trail Riders Secretary Lisa Schuhmann believes while 7km of trails “probably won’t be enough” in the longterm, it is “a great start”. “We were hoping to have more access to ride around the lake and to see the water as there is only one section where the lake is viewed, but otherwise it is what we expected,” she said. “It took (Seqwater) a lot of planning, time and money and they have said that if the trails go well they will look at opening up more.” Ms Price would also like Seqwater to give horse riders, cyclists and hikers access to more land around Lake Samsonvale which is not currently leased. The Cashmere local hopes Seqwater will open up existing fire trails which “local horse riders used to ride 20-plus years ago before Seqwater locked the gates”.

Family honours heritage
F
ive generations of the Enchelmaier family were represented at a celebration of the life of the last surviving child of the family’s European forebears. Dulcie ‘Alison’ Enchelmaier, better known by her married name Alison Sue, was the last surviving offspring of a German immigrant whose farm at Laceys Creek has been in the family for almost 110 years. She was born at the farm in 1924 – the bed in which she was born still remains in use there – and passed away this year. Mrs Sue was the youngest child of Edna Easlea and Gottlieb Enchelmaier, a German immigrant who came to the Dayboro region in the late-1880s. They married in 1906 and soon after bought the Laceys Creek farm where they grew corn, bananas and had dairy cattle. They had 10 children between 1907 and 1924, some born on the family property. Enchelmaier descendants honoured Mrs Sue and other family members at a memorial event at the farm on 24 September. As per her wish, Mrs Sue’s ashes were spread at the family farm, under a pine tree planted to mark 100 years since Gottlieb
Enchelmaier bought the property at Upper Raynbird Creek. Helium balloons with the names of the Enchelmaier grandparents and their 10 children were released on the day. “We released balloons to pay tribute to our grandparents, mothers, fathers, uncles and aunties,� said Mrs Sue’s daughter Steph Baxter, of Rosewood. “It was so touching to see them stay in a group over the farm as this was a very close family.� Mrs Sue’s niece Jill Hodge, of Chermside West, said the memorial day was an act of respect acknowledging the passing of the last of that generation.
The descendants of German immigrants, members of the Enchelmaier family celebrated its history at Laceys Creek. Left: Eileen and Dulcie Enchelmaier.
“It was a way for the next generation... to farewell that generation who lived in the house that their father built,â€? she said. “All of us got to pay our respects and honour our parents and aunts and uncles who had gone before us. “My father (Edgar Enchelmaier) died when I was 12 in 1967 so this was a way for me to honour him again‌ and be able to say goodbye.â€? The Laceys Creek property is now run by third-generation farmer Rob Enchelmaier.

Senior Constable Jacqueline Riddell receives her Pine Rivers Police Officer of the Year award from Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart and Rotary member Gary Fulton.
Pine’s finest top cop
S
enior Constable Jacqueline Riddell was “surprised, proud and grateful” to be named Pine Rivers’ top cop. She has been named the Pine Rivers Police Officer of the Year, an award presented annually by the Rotary Club of Pine Rivers since 2002 to recognise positive results that local police officers achieve above and beyond their call of duty. A former childcare worker now based at the Mango Hill/North Lakes Police Station, Snr Con Riddell has been a police officer for 13 years. She organises property, traffic and good order operations to combat crime trends
within the Pine Rivers Patrol Group. Snr Con Riddell said she enjoys most facets of policing but least likes how police are sometimes portrayed and mistreated. “I like the job security, meeting various different types of people (and) clients, helping people, solving offences, mateship with colleagues,” she said. “Sometimes people seem to forget we are human also, are infallible, make mistakes (and they) want to hurt us for doing our job. “I just want to make sure myself and my colleagues get home safely to our families.”
Horse workshop is Samford’s new mane event
I
f you own a horse, then Samford Village is where you need to be this Saturday. Equine Action Queensland, the local not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving welfare standards for equines, will present its inaugural Horse Care Workshop at the Samford Farmers’ Hall. The free workshop will feature local equine experts speaking on topics such as horse nutrition, hoof and dental care, worming and vaccinations, and first aid and emergency care. The event, sponsored by the Samford Progress Association, will also feature an afternoon tea, lucky door prizes and equine business pop-up shops sharing information and selling products. Equine Action Queensland President Di Walduck, of Yugar, said the aim of the workshop is to “empower people to have a better understanding of their horses” and to “raise the standard of welfare” for the animals. “The purpose of the workshop is to give people that are interested in horses or horse ownership the opportunity to gain

information on current best practice horse husbandry,” Ms Walduck explained. She said tips and advice gained on the day could help to save horse owners from some “very difficult, heart wrenching and often, expensive decisions”. “Sadly, many of the surrender requests that we receive are due to poor care choices that have resulted in the horse’s welfare becoming severely compromised,” Ms Walduck said. “These choices are not deliberate but a result of a lack of understanding of a horse’s basic needs.” Warner’s Melissa Hanwright, who cares
for one of the 18 horses ‘re-homed’ by Equine Action Queensland since 2013, expects this weekend’s equine workshop to be “an awesome day”. “I’m excited about every aspect of the event but when it comes down to it I just love being with horse people and sharing and learning together,” she said. The Equine Action Queensland Horse Care Workshop is on at Samford Farmers’ Hall, 30 Main Street, Samford Village on 12 November from 2pm to 6pm. Entry is free. Complimentary showbags will be given to the first 100 guests. Visit equineactionqld.com.au.

Next door neighbours Trevor and Vicki Oliver and Heather Cross placed first and second in the acreage section of the Hills District and Bunya Garden Competition. It was the first time that the Olivers, who have lived at their property for 25 years, have entered the competition. Mrs Oliver said her garden was “not a neat, ordered garden that you would expect to be a winning garden” but was comprised of “all different things thrown in together”. “I just do a bit of pruning and a bit of mulching or a bit or watering but it tends to take care of itself,” she said. “If I put a plant in that doesn’t do well I

Park honours indigenous links
Ed uc at io
n
A scenic park at Lake Samsonvale officially now has a name – thanks to young students from a local school. Earlier this year Seqwater, which oversees the lake, invited Year 2 students from Mt Samson State School to choose a moniker for the unnamed park, located off Forgan Road at Joyner. After learning about the history and geography of the park, the students and their teacher Carolyn Vincent proposed naming it ‘Tukuwompa’, in honour of the land’s traditional owners, the Turrbal people. “We looked at photos of the park and the views from the park – and some students did drive-bys – and we brainstormed ideas on a couple of occasions,” Ms Vincent said. “I went to the local library to see if there were any important people in the area who might provide a suitable park name and came across the fact that Tukuwompa was the Aboriginal name for the Samsonvale area.
“After I found the name, we had a lot of discussions about the indigenous history of the area, which the Aboriginal elders at the park naming expanded on.” Mt Samson students and their teachers visited Tukuwompa Park for the naming ceremony late last month. The event was also attended by Turrbal tribe elders, who shared Indigenous stories, performed songs and dances and painted the students with Aboriginal face paint. “The excursion to unveil the park name, that was planned and run by Seqwater, was an amazing day of
hands-on education that the students will always remember,” Ms Vincent said. “The students were thrilled to have their faces painted by an Aboriginal elder and to hear about the Aboriginal history of our area from people who actually had a direct connection to the history. “The dreamtime story and other facts shared by Songwoman Maroochy (Barambah) were fascinating and the song she taught the students was a very special gift.” Maroochy Barambah said she was pleased to see young students showing awareness, appreciation and respect for indigenous history and culture. “It’s great to see young people learning about and making a connection with the land we live on and the people who have always lived on it,” she said. “The Turrbal people are the original inhabitants of the North Pine area and we continue to practice our customs and traditions proudly within our ancestral homeland.” Ms Vincent said the Mt Samson children were “very proud to honour the original inhabitants of our area”. Seqwater employees also educated the students catchment management and the water cycle with water quality testing activities.

Delving into “Deep Learning” at Bray Park This year Bray Park State High School was chosen to be one of six schools in Queensland to lead ‘New Pedagogies for Deep Learning’ as part of a wider global partnership. Through the hard work and commitment of its teachers, along with their passion for student engagement and achievement, students and teachers have already been recording the significant improvement to learning attitudes, development of capabilities and learning outcomes. The exciting part for the entire school community is that it has already been recognised by other educators, schools and the Director-General

meaningfully participate in our global community. The latest school opinion survey saw over 98% of parents, staff and students agreeing that Bray Park is a great school. This is evidenced by 100% of 2015 graduates leaving with a VET certificate and their QCE, making it one of the highest performing schools in the region. 2016 saw great gains in NAPLAN data in the junior school and continuing success for high achievers as part of the Queensland Academies School Program.

Toby and Oliver Armstrong pose with their Moreton Bay Youth Art Awards prizes and Oliver’s winning artwork.
Creativity a strong point for brothers
C
lear Mountain siblings have won their respective categories of the Moreton Bay Youth Art Awards – and not for the first time. Oliver Armstrong, a student at Grace Lutheran College at Bray Park, won first prize in the Moreton Bay Youth Art Awards for the fourth time. He collected the top award for twodimensional artworks by senior high school students with his piece Blood, Sweat and Tears. “There are different judges every year and to hear the judge’s comments and realise they understand the meaning behind my artwork is always exciting,� he said. Oliver said Blood, Sweat and Tears, which “transitions from cow hooves and fur into a leather jacket�, explores the “theme of identity� and was created as part of a school art project. Oliver’s younger brother Toby won first prize for two-dimensional for students in years 4 to 6 with his artwork A Digital Life. The Eatons Hill State School student’s sculpture is made from soldering wire and burnt pieces of wood. “I get my ideas from my surroundings and sometimes from the news on TV,� Toby said of his artistic inspiration. This is the third year Toby has won his
WIN
category in the awards, open to primary and secondary school students who live in or attend school in Moreton Bay Region. The siblings’ mother Nikki Armstrong says she “encouraged the boys to create art from a young age�. Oliver said he and Toby sometimes critique each other’s work and brainstorm ideas together. Other local winners of the art awards categories – and $200 prize money – were Albany Creek State High School students Ebony Lee Hedges (3D art, grades 7-10), Paige Childs (2D art, grades 7-10), and Sam Johnson (2D art, grades 11-12). Bray Park State High School and Bribie Island State School won the collaborative art prizes in the Moreton Bay Youth Art Awards, with $1000 to go towards supporting art programs at both schools. Moreton Bay Regional Council Deputy Mayor Mike Charlton said this year’s art competition attracted more than 300 entries from more than 50 schools. “It’s great to see so many colourful, thought-provoking and creative pieces being produced by students in our region,� Cr Charlton said. “Every year the high standard of work presented by these young artists continues to impress.�

Are your gutters clean for the summer storm season?
I
n preparation for storm season it is important that your gutters and valleys are clean and unblocked. Leafshield Gutter Protection gives gutters lasting protection and prevents damage to your home during storm season. Insurance companies and roof repairers say that many homes could have prevented internal water damage due to blocked gutters and valleys if their rooves had been guarded with a reputable gutter guard. The Leafshield system allows leaves to slide off the roof, instead of blocking up your valleys and gutters. Cleaning gutters can be dangerous, so Leafshield offers a free gutter clean with every installation. All our fitters have white cards and have many years’ experience installing gutter guards. Leafshield Gutter Protection can help to keep everything from possums to the smallest

property poles and overhead power lines helps to ensure safety and a dependable electrical supply. Remember, in the event of finding a fallen power line, always treat them as live; don’t touch them or the surrounding debris, and call a professional. How to check your property pole and overhead power lines: * Inspect around the base of the pole regularly to make sure there is no decay, rust or other damage; * Check the pole is not on a lean; * Check the lines aren’t sagging; * Check for signs of termites – these include tunnels or tubes, excavation of wood or earth masses against the side of the pole; * If your poles has a cross-arms (the T-type structure at the top of the pole that supports the power line/s), check that it seems stable and in working condition. You should only check this visually, from the ground. It is worth noting that electrical providers recommend having a qualified electrical contractor inspect power poles every five years. Regardless of how it visually checks out, seek a professional opinion. If you suspect your pole is in any way damaged or your lines are sagging, call Powerhouse Airconditioning and Electrical for assistance for your property pole repairs.

roperty power poles are power poles that reside within your property’s boundaries, supporting the overhead power lines to your home, shed or other buildings located on your property. Property poles can be either timber, steel or concrete in structure. It’s easy and worth double checking if they are in fact property poles or poles owned by an electricity provider. Most companies will have an identification pole number. You can find this located a couple of metres above the ground on the side of the pole. Property poles are the responsibility of the property owner and as such ongoing maintenance and repairs are the owner’s duty. If you are renting you have an obligation to notify the owner or real estate agent if you see a property pole or power line that requires maintenance or repairs, and the owner or real estate is required to take prompt, appropriate action. Weather and time, two things we have little control over, are the largest contributing factors in power poles becoming unstable, often resulting in damage such as rust and decay or fallen lines. In the event of weakened poles, the interruption of your service until a licensed electrical contractor can arrive and replace it can be frustrating. However, the possible risk to life and property is very high and not worth the danger. Regular inspections and maintenance of

Recipes and Images from More Please! by Manu Fieldel with Clarissa Weerasena (Murdoch Books).
To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Add the pork and stir to coat thoroughly, then cover and set aside for 30 minutes. Wash the choy sum well, then separate the leaves from the stalks and cut into 5cm (2 inch) pieces. Bring a kettle of water to the boil. Put the noodles in a colander set over a large heatproof bowl and pour over the boiling water to rinse. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Serves 4-6 250 g (9 oz) pork scotch fillet, thinly sliced 1 bunch choy sum 1 kg (2 lb 4 oz) hokkien noodles 100 ml (3½ fl oz) peanut or vegetable oil 3 small garlic cloves, finely chopped 12 raw prawns (shrimp), peeled and de-veined, tails intact 250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) Chicken stock 1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus extra to taste 1 large brown onion, diced sea salt, to taste 2 fresh long red chillies, thinly sliced (optional) MARINADE 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
Heat a large wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is starting to smoke, add the pork and marinade and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and prawns and stir-fry for another minute. Add the choy sum stalks and toss to combine, then pour in the chicken stock and half the soy sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Add the choy sum leaves and stir until wilted. Transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the wok over high heat. When the oil is smoking, add the onion and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Add the noodles, spreading them evenly across the wok, and leave to crisp slightly at the bottom. Drizzle over the remaining soy sauce and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add the pork and prawn mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and extra soy sauce to taste, and serve garnished with fresh chilli, if desired.

Magnificent seven bring opera to Dayboro
T
hey’ve performed everywhere from Dubbo to Dubai, and now some of Australia’s most exciting operatic talents are coming to Dayboro. The voices of the acclaimed The 7 Sopranos will raise the roof off the Dayboro Community Hall when the group completes its six-date tour of regional Queensland there on 19 November. Highlights of the concert will include well-known arias from La Traviata, La Boheme, Carmen and Phantom of the Opera and the ‘Toreador Song’ and ‘Nessun Dorma’ – all done soprano style. The 7 Sopranos have been seducing listeners with their versatile voices worldwide since 2009, both live and with two
popular studio albums – The 7 Sopranos (2013) and Popcorn: Songs From Stage and Screen (2016). The group comprises four Brisbanebased singers – Claire Candy, Panayiota Kalatzis, Kathryn Bradbury and Arana Hills resident Deb Rogers – as well as Newcastle’s Kyla Allan and Sydney duo Angie Hogan and Jenny Liu. The artists are all graduates of Australia’s finest music conservatories and also winners of the nation’s most prestigious singing competitions. Liu recently starred of Opera Australia’s production of The King and I, alongside the likes of Lisa McCune and Teddy Tahu Rhodes.
The 7 Sopranos founder and director Tarita Botsman said the opera act has been committed to touring regional Australia over the last two years. The group’s upcoming tour of regional Queensland – six shows in seven days covering around 1300km – will stop at Mackay, Blackwater, Agnes Water, Maryborough, Montville and Dayboro. “We love to cover as much countryside as we can and with four proud Queenslanders in the group, it’s nice to be going to beautiful Dayboro valley,” Ms Botsman said. “Touring is such a rewarding experience – audiences invariably love good music coming to town and are never shy
to show their enjoyment. “It’s so rewarding to be able to bring a unique experience to new places, introducing music that may be new for some but familiar for others. “For those who may have never experienced live, acoustic voice up close and personal, we can guarantee a few spinetingling moments and a few unexpected moments of fun and frivolity.” The 7 Sopranos will perform at the Dayboro Community Hall, located at 6 Bradley Street, Dayboro on 19 November at 7.30pm. Tickets to the all ages concert are available by phoning 1300 762 545 or online at www.the7sopranos.com.
Samford inspires desert sounds
D
esert Blues Cartel is a band that believes in the concept of ‘local produce’. The six-piece group recorded its new “moody, swampy, blues-based” songs at The Scarlet Owl studio in Camp Mountain, material later mastered by Neil Coombe of The White Room studio at Mt Nebo. Marty Grounsell of Petrie shot the video for the band’s current single Long Gone at Highvale. Desert Blues Cartel bandmates Robert Davis and Lola Montgomery, of Highvale, directed and edited the video, which was “released straight to the internet without leaving the Samford area”. “Essentially the motivation to produce everything out here was based around our existing networks but (it) is also a perfect example of the depth of artistic talent that we have discovered reside in the Samford Valley and surrounding mountains,” Montgomery explains. The “hedonistic sound” of songs from Desert Blues Cartel’s forthcoming EP The Blues Will Not Save You “would not have been able to be achieved in the city”, 16
according to Montgomery. “Our band’s current main songwriter is a country boy who draws most of his inspiration from his childhood and the open spaces,” she said. “The characters created in his songs often tell tales of those who live on the outer edges of mainstream society. “Although Samford is far from being a remote outpost there is enough solitude and peace and quiet to bring the sounds roaming through his subconscious to life here. “The direction of the band continues to evolve but until now has mostly explored the many sub-genres of the blues.” Montgomery said Desert Blues Cartel’s expectations for the Long Gone single have already been exceeded but she notes “we would be delighted to have even further reach with this release.” Long Gone has received significant airplay around Australia, going top 10 on the AMRAP Australian regional chart, and hitting the top 40 on the worldwide Reverbnation Blues Charts. The song has also been selected for

the 2016 International Songwriting Competition, judged by the likes of Tom Waits, Ziggy Marley, Lorde, Donovan and Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. Montgomery said the song is inspired by “desperation, depravity, depression and all those other good things in life”. “Imagine every scoundrel, rebel and renegade from every old western you’ve seen and then dismember them and
mash them together in a brain laden with whiskey, cigars and flashbacks of late night saloon romps,” she said. Desert Blues Cartel, which also features Matty Newton, Ellen Stancombe, Ed Gresack and Jaime Bosomworth of Petrie, will perform at Cardigan Bar, 198 Seymour Street, Sandgate on 2 December.

Theatre’s new world order

REELTIME with Noel Reeves
A
new local theatre group will launch next week with performances of the appropriately titled Songs for a New World show. New World Theatre is the brainchild of theatre practitioners Melanie Evans, of Dayboro, and Andrew Wadley, from Cashmere. They aim to produce “edgier” shows than what is currently offered in the local drama and musical theatre scene. “We both had ideas about theatre projects and started talking about how we’d love to focus on producing small, more contemporary shows that other companies don’t often do,” explains Evans, who has directed shows such as Hairspray, Little Women: The Musical and Oliver! for the PRIMA musical group. “We see New World Theatre as being complimentary to the other (theatre) companies in the area as we are hoping to produce edgier, small cast shows which won’t compete with the larger, less risky shows – risky in terms of content/concept – often staged by other companies here. “We’re not looking for world domination but we’d love to have a solid season incor-

porating musicals, plays, concerts and devised work. Ideally the long-term goal is for four to seven shows per year.” New World Theatre’s debut show, Songs for a New World is an “abstract musical” that stars Lara Boyle, Simon Chamberlain, Natalie Ridoutt and Warner resident Liam J. O’Byrne, recently seen in Little Women. “It’s quite a unique show in that it doesn’t have a clear narrative, no clear plot and characters who change with each song. Thematically it all makes sense though,” Evans said. “It’s an abstract musical with every song in the show essentially about the same thing: the moments in life when everything
seems perfect and then suddenly disaster strikes. “It’s about the way we regroup and figure out how to survive in a new set of circumstances – a new world – even against seemingly overwhelming odds.” Evans said Songs for a New World features “phenomenal music” by Jason Robert Brown, considered one of the best composers in the contemporary music theatre scene. Songs for a New World will be staged at Act 1 Theatre, corner of Gympie Road and Hall Street at Strathpine from 1720 November. Tickets are available from www.newworldtheatre.com.au.

Before Hollywood turned on him for drunken anti-Semitic rants, Mel Gibson used to be a famous actor and director. If talent and craft mean anything anymore then his latest film, Hacksaw Ridge, his first directorial piece in a decade, will repair some of those burnt bridges. Hacksaw Ridge is the first great war movie in a long time, the best since Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) and the most rousing since Black Hawk Down (2001), boasting some of the best battle scenes ever committed to screen. Brutal and horrific, this is a no-holds barred depiction of the worst aspects of war, more intense then even some of the best moments in Saving Private Ryan (1998).
S
amford has a new art space. The Chapel Gallery, a joint venture between business owner Amanda Smith and Cedar Creek artist Helen Evans, opened last month. Ms Smith said the gallery, in her Urban Dweller gift store – a former church – was a way to make art “more approachable”. “I’ve always supported and admired the talent of incredible artists locally so wanted to showcase creativity in different forms,” she said. “The beauty about a gallery in a retail space is that it makes it more approachable, especially with families and small children. “Most people feel more comfortable in a retail setting rather than a gallery setting.” Ms Evans, who runs the Art Train in Samford Village and is head of the Creative Samford group, said the idea for the Chapel Gallery was conceived “over coffee a couple of months ago”. “Samford and surrounds has some amazing talent and Samford sorely needed a gallery space to show our locals and visitors the wealth of creativity in our area year-round,” she said. “We have had a really good response with lots of artists, local and from Brisbane wanting to exhibit.” The launch Chapel Gallery exhibition features sculpture, photography, textile and fabric design, jewellery, drawings and paintings by artists from Samford, Mt Glorious and Paddington. Exhibiting artists include Graham Radcliffe, Janine Scull, Helen Evans, Jennifer Redmond, Wendy Bailye, Janina Liddell, Wick Adams, John Chapman, Peter Storer, Marieke van de Leest and Christa Coetzee. The gallery’s next art exhibition, a small works show featuring
Hacksaw Ridge
Filming in Australia, Gibson has crafted a compelling film about the incredible true story of Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to receive a US Medal of Honor. Doss was in his early 20s when he joined the US Army during World War II as a field medic. A devout Seventh Day Adventist, his philosophy of non-violence meant he refused to shoot any enemy or even carry a weapon. Overcoming ridicule and resentment by his fellow troops, Doss became a legend when he saved dozens of injured men from the frontlines at the Battle of Okinawa. Andrew Garfield is convincing in the lead role as Doss: humble and devout, without playing himself as a martyr. I think it’s easy to predict an Oscar nomination for Garfield next year.

pieces no bigger than 250mm x 250mm, will commence on 25 November. “I was involved in small (works) shows overseas and they were always a challenge, producing beautiful and more affordable art,” Evans said. The Chapel Gallery is at Urban Dweller, 22 Station Street, Samford Village, near Flying Nun café. Phone 0408 112 210.
The remainder of the cast, mostly Australian veterans doing American accents, are solid. However, this is Garfield and Gibson’s film; they bring more to it than anyone else. What next for Gibson? His last two acting gigs, Get the Gringo (2012) and Blood Father (2016) were both effective action films, yet sank at the box office. Is Hacksaw Ridge going to be an atonement? Who knows? What’s clear is that Gibson has made a film you don’t want to miss. 8/10

Lord of the strings returns to Mt Mee
W
orld famous violinist, Attilla Sautov, returns to Mt Mee on 27 November to perform works from master composers of the Baroque era. An Uzbekistan-born child prodigy now based at Redcliffe, Sautov, pictured, has performed in around 40 countries. For the Baroque in Bloom concert at Mt Mee, Sautov will be joined by some of Brisbane’s finest chamber musicians to perform soul-stirring concertos by Vivaldi, Handel, Bach, Corelli and Scarlatti. Guest soloist Neil Heymink will perform Vivaldi’s Bassoon Concerto in E Minor. “One of the most intriguing members of the woodwind family, the bassoon has been described as looking like a saxophone crossed with a didgeridoo,” Sautov said. “Its timbre is rich, mellow and velvety, and it combines perfectly with stringed instruments, as Neil will demonstrate.” Sautov last week performed at the opening of the Russian Resurrection Film Festival in Brisbane. In the audience were Russian film stars Sergey Puskepaslis and Ekaterina Shpitsa and dancers from the visiting Imperial Russian Ballet Company. The Baroque in Bloom concert is on at the Mountain Top Community Church, at 42 Settlement Road, Mt Mee on 27 November at 2pm. Tickets are available at www.attillasautov.com or at the door.

Art with Altitude hits new heights
S
ome of the best artists from Mt Glorious and Mt Nebo will emerge from their studios to present their works to the public next week. Five months in the planning, the second Art With Altitude exhibition will be held on 19-20 November. Twenty-one local artists will exhibit their works at the Mt Glorious Community Hall, a 25 per cent increase on last year’s participation. Art With Altitude convenor Rose Cuthbertson said the exhibition, along with the Samford Arts Trail, had opened some people’s eyes to the quality of “amazing” artists in the region. “People are realising that there is quite a lot of artistic talent in the area,” Ms Cuthbertson said. “There are less than 300 people living in Mt Glorious and a few more at Mt Nebo, yet there are around 50 people on the mountain who are working fulltime as artists.” The Art With Altitude exhibition will feature oil, watercolour and acrylic paintings, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics, glasswork, pen and ink drawings, photography, fibre-art and handmade fine furniture. “There’s so much variety,” Ms Cuthbertson said. “Garry Rogers’ wildlife drawings are phenomenal, Peter and Carol Williams’ glass work is fabulous, and Ann O’Connor’s ceramics and jewellery pieces are spectacular.” While last year’s inaugural Art With Altitude was run “on the smell of an oily rag”, Ms Cuthbertson says a bigger budget and greater exposure could see attendance at the art event double this year. Organisers hope recent publicity for the exhibition on the Great South East television program could see the number of visitors to the show exceed 900 people. Art With Altitude is on at the Mt Glorious Community Hall, 1874 Mt Glorious Road, Mt Glorious on 19-20 November, open from 9am to 4pm daily. As well as artworks for sale art, the two-day event will also feature craft demonstrations, buskers, lucky door prizes, raffles and market stalls, with exhibition patrons to receive discount vouchers for local cafés. Visit www.mountglorious.org.au/art-with-altitude.html and www.facebook.com/artwith altitude for more information.
Amongst the artworks being displayed in the Art With Altitude exhibition at Mt Glorious on 19-20 November are pieces by (clockwise from top left) Deidre Taylor, Gerry O’Connor, Terry Turner, Genevieve Jackson, Ann O’Connor, Peter and Carol Williams, Karen Hutt, Pat Boddington, Garry Rogers and Laurine Field.

them to follow their dreams without impacting on the service to the community. What have been the biggest changes in your industry since you started? The advent of the much larger and more efficient sewerage systems that require much less maintenance. These systems treat and return most of the liquid waste to the grounds around the property rather than needing to be pumped out every few years. What is the best part of your job? Being out and about in a beautiful area meeting new people every day. Before your current job, what were your previous occupations? I’ve been in transport one way or another for 30 years, working for DHL and Toll amongst others. If you didn’t work in your current job, what job would you like to do? Renovate and repair unloved and neglected guitars.

Silver lining in defeat

ine Hills Lightning pitcher Daniel Nilsson says winning a silver medal at the Under-23 World Cup in Mexico is a “huge result” for Australian baseball. Australia fell 10-3 to Japan in the World Championship Game in Monterrey on Monday, but Nilsson said it was a fantastic achievement for his underdog team to reach the final. “This result is huge for Australian baseball. Not often have we had the chance to be world champions,” Nilsson said. “It puts us in a huge position to make the 2020 Olympics as well as the Premier 12 competition in 2019.” Australia, which entered the tournament ranked 13 in the world, led the gold medal game 3-0 before world number one Japan scored four runs in the fourth inning, and five runs in the sixth inning. Nilsson was quite happy with his effort on the mound in Mexico. “My first outing was a little rough, but my second I felt went really well,” Nilsson said. “I helped put our team in a good spot to make

that gold medal game, with the pitchers following me and hitters doing an awesome job to get it done. “We executed when we needed (to) and considering we only got together a week before the tournament, the team gelled together really well.” Nilsson now turns his attention to Brisbane Bandits’ defence of its Australian Baseball League title when its 2016-17 season starts against Canberra at Holloway Field, Newmarket on 17 November. www.thewesterner.com.au

Strong will leads Sarah to Australian selection
% P.A.
Sarah Strong has represented Australia overseas in both netball and volleyball. By Lee Oliver

arah Strong is only 16 years old but already she is a sporting dual international. She played for Australia’s under-15 junior women’s netball side in New Zealand and Malta in 2013 and 2014, but soon after found herself playing with a different ball on a different type of court. Strong then transitioned to competitive volleyball after her school teacher Paul Donnelly saw she was “tall and athletic”. The teenager has made an immediate impact in volleyball, touring Thailand with the Australian junior team earlier this year. “It was a great feeling stepping on to the court and singing the national anthem and wearing your green and gold jersey was a real honour,” Strong said. Her parents Cathy Donaghey and Tony Strong reached state and national honours in volleyball, though their daughter didn’t take up the sport until early last year. “I chose volleyball for the pure love of playing… rather than choosing netball just because I was alright at it,” the St Paul’s College student recalls. “I didn’t have any further goals (for netball) and I wasn’t feeling motivated to strive for anything. “I looked at all the possibilities that volleyball had and I thought there were people relative to my age playing for their
country and playing at world championships and going to the Olympics. “I thought, ‘Wow, the pathways there are more appealing for me’... and travelling to all these amazing countries with the sport just sounded like the most amazing idea.” Strong won a gold medal for Queensland at the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships held on the Gold Coast last month, and also gained Australian All Star 7 selection. She was set to play in the upcoming Australian Volleyball League (AVL) matches for the Queensland Pirates open women’s side but will miss out after suffering a hand injury at training last week. “It was definitely a setback and a blow to any ego that I was developing,” Strong said of the injury. “I’m feeling a lot more motivated to keep working at it because it (playing in the AVL) is not something I want to give up because of my injury. “It’s always been something I want to achieve and I still want to achieve.” Strong hopes to be fit for an Australian junior team training camp in Melbourne in December, from which the side to contest the Asian Junior Championships – also the world titles qualifiers – will be selected. Fellow St Paul’s School student Lauryn Spiller was a member of the Queensland Under-15 White team which won a national title at Coomera in October.
