Here’s to the Rodeo Queen 

◄ National Rodeo Association Rodeo Queen Kayhla Small at 

the Fossil Downs Bush Rodeo at Murphy’s Creek on Saturday. 

Kayhla from Ropely, near Gatton, led the grand parade on her 

Palomino Australian Stock Horse. She is a barrel racer with a couple 

of championships. It was the 10th Fossil Downs Bush Rodeo in 

a clearing on a bush block near Murphy’s Creek, and in that time 

has raised $40,000, much of it for the renal and oncology units at 

Toowoomba Hospital. – Miles Noller photo

TO THE EDITOR 

Backyard swimming pool safety 

I write to you as CEO of Royal 

Life Saving Society Australia 

with an important message for 

your readers. Please check your 

backyard pool fence, gate and 

latch. 

Inadequate pool fencing and 

pool gates that are faulty remain 

a major contributing factor in 

the rate of drowning in backyard 

swimming pools among children 

under 5. 

Royal Life Saving have developed 

a home pool safety checklist 

which allows you to conduct 

Payments to Council 

Making payments to council has been made 

easy with our online options and 24/7 phone 

payments. You can pay rates, water notices 

and animal registrations by credit card on 

1300 451 206 or online www.tr.qld.gov.au 

Please note that a credit card surcharge applies 

Three Lakes Survey 

Whether you splash, paddle, walk or fish, we 

know how much people love visiting our dams 

and we’re working on a review to optimise 

our recreational opportunities. We want to 

hear from you on how you use the dams and 

suggestions for the future. Be sure to have your 

say at yoursay.tr.qld.gov.au 

Community Survey 

We’re conducting a region wide survey to find 

out your satisfaction with Council services. This 

is your opportunity to let us know what you think 

we are doing well and where we could improve. 

The results will help us identify priorities for our 

region and improve services and communication 

with our communities. To find out more go to 

yoursay.tr.qld.gov.au/trsurvey 

a self assessment of your home 

pool and its surrounds to ensure 

it is safe for everyone to enjoy 

and minimises the risk of young 

children drowning. 

Often pool owners don’t realise 

that their pool fence or gate 

is faulty which poses a threat to 

children’s safety. Pool fences, 

pool gates and latches should 

be regularly checked and maintained 

as parts can break or become 

defective over time.

Highfields Lions Show 

and Shine 

The Highfields Lions Show 

and Shine will be a great day out 

for all on Sunday, September 17, 

at the Cabarlah Showgrounds. 

There will be a live band playing, 

an event from FAD Fitness 

and Dance and Batmobile! 

For the kids, there will be a 

free jumping castle and face 

painting and plenty to do. 

The best presented car or bike 

club will be awarded $500 cash 

and a trophy. 

There are also many trophies 

across many vehicle types including 

cars, bikes 4WDs and 

trucks and we have top ten V8s, 

six cyclinder and four cylinder 

trophies and more. 

We are hoping for more than 

200 cars this year. Many families 

are expected to attend this 

year which should hopefully be 

a beautiful and sunny September 

day. 

I would like to thank all of our 

sponsors for their good and kind 

support as without them there 

would be no show. 

I would like to give a special 

thanks to Toowoomba Regional 

Council who has given us their 

event grant support for another 

year which gives us the ability 

to bring such a fun community 

event to Highfields.

To mark World Suicide Prevention Day, Lifeline 

Darling Downs and South West Qld Ltd, in 

conjunction with the Toowoomba Suicide Prevention 

Network, are inviting the community to attend 

a walk at Picnic Point on Sunday, September 

10, starting at 10am. 

The Out of the Shadows walk is an annual national 

Lifeline event designed to raise awareness, 

remember those lost to suicide, and for family and 

friends to unite in a commitment to prevent further 

deaths by suicide. 

Australia is in the midst of a national emergency 

with suicide rates at an all time high. In 2014 there 

were 648 confirmed suicides in Queensland which 

is higher than the lives taken by road fatalities 

each year. 

the home pool safety checklist 

to make sure your pool fence, 

pool gate and latch is in working 

order. 

The checklist does not substitute 

for a pool inspection. 

We urge you to get professional 

advice about your pool’s compliance, 

check regulations with 

their local council or go to the 

local hardware or pool shop to 

discuss how to ensure the pool is 

made safer in time for summer. 

Adequate pool fencing is not a 

substitute for active supervision. 

“The sobering facts are that every three hours 

a person takes their own life in Australia and it is 

the leading cause of death amongst those aged 15 

to 44 years, with men being three times more likely 

to die by suicide than females,” LDDSWQL, 

CEO, Derek Tuffield said. 

It is sad to note that the Darling Downs region 

is over represented in the national suicide statistics 

with over 45 suicides each year being recorded. 

It is important to remember that help is available 

24/7 by calling Lifeline’s Crisis Support line 13 

11 14. 

Entry to the event is free. However, attendees 

are asked to register their participation on Event- 

Brite http://bit.ly/2x5V2qf.

Always keep watch of children 

around water. Last summer saw 

a tragic number of lives lost to 

drowning, with rates more than 

four times the 10-year average 

between Christmas and New 

Year. Sadly, children accounted 

for a significant portion of these 

preventable tragedies. 

We don’t want to see the same 

devastating impact this summer 

so please make this weekend 

your home pool safety weekend.

Price of idyllic lifestyle 

To Marg NcNamara of "Development 

Concerns," last 

week’s Herald - two questions: 

1. What happened to the 

trees that were destroyed to 

allow your house to be built 

among the "idyllic lifestyle?" 

2. Where did the timber 

come from to frame and line 

your house. Timber which 

helps keep your house warm 

and strong? 

Plus a note, the tree stumps 

depicted on television news 

last week were certainly not of 

the gum tree variety, the habitat 

of koalas. - Len Wilmington, 

Crows Nest. 

Flag - symbol of the nation 

September 3 commemorates the day in 1901 when our Australian 

national flag was flown for the first time, marking the federation 

of the Australian colonies to form the Commonwealth of Australia. 

Our national flag was the result of a competition in which there 

were 32,823 entries. Five of those which contained almost identical 

designs were placed equal first with a prize money of 200 pounds. A 

14-year-old school boy was among the winners. 

Apart from changes in the magnitude of the stars and the number 

of points, some eight years later, they had produced the present Australian 

National flag which demonstrates our national identity, our 

heritage and our geographical place in the world. 

September 3 has been proclaimed Australian National Flag Day. 

Let us keep it as our internationally acclaimed symbol of Australia.

HIGHFIELDS STATE SECONDARY COLLEGE 

Construction continues as numbers grow 

The Cafe at 

Abbie Lane 

6 x 2 

A consistent program of construction 

continues at Highfields State Secondary 

College with the structure and roof of yet 

another new building almost complete. 

This building has reached this stage in 

just eight weeks, and will be the first of 

three new buildings in stage three of the 

school. 

It is a general learning building containing 

seven classrooms and should be 

ready for use at the beginning of next 

year. 

Next to this will be a two-storey building, 

with eight classrooms on the top 

floor, and initially the ground floor will 

be open until more rooms are required. 

The third building in stage three will 

be a sports hall near the school oval. 

This is to be constructed next year in 

readiness for the start of school in 2019. 

Stage three is being built by F.K. Gardner 

who built stage one of the college. 

Stage two was built by McNab. 

The Highfields State Secondary College 

opened in 2015 with 262 year 7 and 

8 students. 

In 2016, 474 students were enrolled, 

and this year numbers increased to 689. 

It is predicted there should be 850 

students in 2018, and more than 1000 in 

2019. 

One wonders where these students 

would be had Highfields College not 

been approved. 

Principal Sharon Barker said the Mt 

Lofty and Wilsonton high schools have 

not had significant changes to their enrolments 

as a result of the establishment 

of Highfields College. She thought that 

many of the students at Highfields might 

have been in private schools. - MILES 

NOLLER. 

Show society fails to elect management committee 

The recent annual general 

meeting of the Crows Nest Show 

Society on August 25 failed to 

elect a management committee. 

Under the society’s association 

rules, the management 

committee members shall be a 

president, treasurer, secretary 

and vice presidents, the number 

of which shall be determined per 

rule 17 of the association, one of 

whom shall be the senior vice 

president. 

Show society secretary Barry 

Miller said advice he received 

from the Office of Fair Trading 

who administer the adoption of 

the association rules under the 

Associations Incorporation Act 

1981 was that while a president 

and three vice presidents had 

been nominated, none of them 

are able to fill office due to an 

incorrect voting procedure being 

conducted. 

Mr Miller said a special general 

meeting of the society now 

needs to be called to finalise 

matters not decided at the annual 

meeting. 

These matters are the election 

of president, treasurer, vice presidents, 

the number of which may 

be determined by the association, 

but not to exceed six, and 

one of whom shall be the senior 

vice president, signatories to 

financial accounts and appointment 

of an auditor. 

The candidates, proposers 

and seconders must all be financial 

members of the association 

and the candidates must have 

attended a minimum of three

Stanhope Jonsson - Highfields 

residen: “I’ve been resident 

of Highfields for 18 years 

and have noticed the dramatic 

changes and not all for the better, 

with the development of 

small housing blocks. Highfields 

was appreciated for open space, 

green areas and lifestyle. 

“We need to identify a centre 

that reflects the ideal lifestyle. 

Council won’t do it. And I commend 

the Highfields and District 

Business Connections for their 

leadership in this. 

“I’m disturbed at the lack of 

facilities for the numbers of students 

who will be leaving school 

in a couple of years. 

“Highfields has been regarded 

as a dormitory suburb, but 

we now need facilities here to 

encourage young people to stay 

here in their community.” 

Cam Mackenzie - Principal, 

Amaroo Environmental Education 

Centre, Kleinton: “We 

need to be selling and singing 

sustainability for all ages and my 

simple definition of sustainability 

is ‘enough for all forever’. 

“And for Highfields this includes 

the people, business, and 

the place. 

“Highfields needs a community 

common for its sense of place. 

“There’s a need to preserve the 

Charles and Motee Rogers Park

manager: “Highfields is 

growing too quickly to remain a 

dormitory suburb of Toowoomba. 

"It’s great to see these people 

involved in Highfields taking 

time to develop a significant 

“driver” for Highfields future. 

“The community will need 

greater opportunities as Highfields 

grows. 

"It’s really good to see they 

are working to cater for young 

people, with an aim to keep them 

enthusiastic, and to use their 

knowledge here in Highfields.”

Vietnam era dance party 

Community barbecue 

for inland Aussies 

A barbecue at Tom Volp Park, Meringandan, will be held 

this Sunday, September 10, to raise funds to help people in 

western Queensland who are suffering the accumulated effects 

of the present and previous droughts. 

It is being hosted by a number of Meringandan community 

groups who have been supported by local businesses, as a 

way of saying to our fellow Aussies out west, we care. 

The rural fire brigade are cooking for the barbecue, with 

all barbecue proceeds, plus profits from the sale of drinks, 

being donated. Entry is a $2 coin or note donation per person, 

which covers the barbecue, tea and coffee. Soft drinks 

will be on sale at $1 each. 

Come yourself, bring your friends or bring your whole 

family, just come and let those out west know that someone 

cares. 

Enquires or further information is available by calling 

Barb on 4696 8222 or Bruce on 4696 7225. 

The Crows Nest RSL’s Vietnam Era Dance Party attracted 50 people. Eight Vietnam veterans 

attended. Three Vietnam veterans, John Sullivan, Ray Briese and Jim Walcroft addressed 

the hall, thanked attendees and invited them to dance the night away. ABOVE: James Edser,

More recreation, tourism suggested for dams 

Toowoomba’s three water 

supply dams, Cooby, Perservance 

and Cressbrook, have a 

second purpose, for recreation, 

sport and tourism, and these uses 

for the dams are now under review. 

Consultation meetings were 

held in Toowoomba and Highfields 

last week, to seek public 

opinion about how best the dams 

might be used, providing fishing, 

boating, camping and other 

groups an opportunity to have 

their say. 

The review is being conducted 

by consultants, Otium Planning 

Group, and director Martin 

Lambert and senior consultant 

Julie Nicholls ran last week’s 

meetings. 

They have also conducted a 

survey among interested groups, 

and said they were pleased that 

520 survey forms were completed 

and returned. 

The public consultation was 

seeking opinions on the activities 

currently undertaken at the 

dams, and what uses that might 

be permitted in the future. 

The project is known as the 

Three Lakes Review and the 

consultants are expected to report 

to the council with recommendations 

in November or December, 

and Council is expected 

to respond early next year. 

At the Highfields meeting, Cr 

Joe Ramia said the first purpose 

of the three lakes was to provide 

drinking water for more than 

100,000 in the Toowoomba Region, 

and how other activities 

affected water treatment needed 

to be kept in mind. 

Consultant Martin Lambert 

said Federal legislation protected 

the dam infrastructure, such 

as the dam wall, and these walls 

were restricted areas. 

He said erosion of the banks, 

and pollution had an impact on 

water quality, and bush fires 

were also a risk. 

However, many recreational 

activities were compatible and 

some wanted to see the opening 

up of Lake Perservance to fishing 

and fish stocking. 

Some wanted better access 

for water skiing, and the use of 

small petrol outboard engines, 

with speed limits, on the dams 

including Cooby. 

The three lakes were described 

as potential great tourist 

attractions, and there was a suggestion 

for a green hiking trail 

from Crows Nest, through the 

Valley of Diamonds, to Perservance 

Dam, then to Cressbrook 

Dam and along the escarpment 

to Toowoomba.

MP welcomes improved 

Optus coverage 

Member for Groom Dr John 

McVeigh has welcomed news 

that Optus will improve services 

across Groom in its $1 billion 

upgrade and expansion of its 

mobile network in regional Australia. 

Dr McVeigh said Optus has 

revealed that within the next 18 

months residents in Toowoomba, 

Highfields, Haden and 

Hampton should receive better 

services on the Optus network. 

“Regional communities rely 

on mobile networks to support 

their key industries,” Dr 

McVeigh said. “We need good 

coverage to assist with education, 

health services, agriculture 

and other industries across the 

Darling Downs.” 

“As technology adapts we are 

relying on the mobile network to 

provide better download speeds 

for data-hungry applications 

such as video streaming and 

advanced technologies such as 

cloud and cyber security that 

will propel regional businesses 

into new national and international 

markets,” he said. 

“As we make this shift into 

the digital age we need to ensure 

the entire region has adequate 

service. 

Dr McVEIGH 

Connectivity essential 

"Connectivity is becoming 

essential in the business world.” 

Optus last month revealed 

it would build 500 new mobile 

towers across regional and remote 

parts of Australia including 

114 sites under the Federal Government’s 

Mobile Blackspots 

Program. 

Optus would also complete its 

4G upgrade program which will 

upgrade more than 1800 sites 

from 3G to 4G technology and 

add additional 4G capacity to 

more than 200 sites.

Dr McVeigh said the investment 

by Optus would improve 

overall network performance 

for residents and businesses and 

will also help build the network 

resilience that is critical to supporting 

public safety and emergency 

services during natural 

disasters. 

“I have been informed by Optus 

that this will mean better services 

at Toowoomba, Highfields, 

Haden and Hampton by the end 

of 2018,” Dr McVeigh said. 

“Regional Australia needs the 

same leading edge technologies 

available in metropolitan markets 

as we continue to grow and 

prosper.” 

“I have been in contact with a 

number of the network providers 

discussing the existing black 

spots in the Groom electorate in 

a bid to have these built into the 

next program of works,” he said. 

“As I tour the electorate customer 

service expectations is a 

recurring theme with residents 

I have also been emphasising 

to the major telecommunications 

companies as a need for focus as 

the market place becomes more 

competitive.” 

New Warrego Highway arrangements 

From Wednesday, September 

6, motorists will be travelling 

on the brand new alignment of 

the Warrego Highway between 

Charlton and Zimm’s corner, 

with a traffic switch planned 

for next week. During the night 

of Tuesday, September 5, both 

eastbound and westbound traffic 

will be moved to the newly constructed 

eastbound carriageway, 

approximately five kilometres to 

the east of Kingsthorpe-Haden 

Road. 

To the west of Kingsthorpe-Haden 

Road, traffic will continue 

to use the new westbound 

carriageway while upgrade 

works are carried out on the existing 

road. 

Reduced speed limits, directional 

signage and traffic control 

will be in place during the traffic 

switch. Motorists are asked 

to obey directional signage 

and take care while travelling 

through the area.

the QLDtraffic app or phone 13

Around Groom with McVeigh 

There has been a lot of media 

in the past few weeks about activities 

in the Federal Parliament and 

whilst there has been plenty happening 

I fear much of it is a distraction 

from what Australians are 

really concerned about. 

The sooner the citizenship 

row that is affecting all parties is 

cleaned up the better and I personally 

believe that stunts in Canberra 

such as wearing burqas in the 

chamber have no place in our nation’s 

parliament. 

All of the people I’ve spoken to 

across our electorate of Groom in 

recent weeks aren’t really interested 

in these sorts of issues and are 

more concerned about cost of living, 

national security in an uncertain 

world and ensuring that our 

government is striving to make 

gains for families and small businesses. 

In just the last two sitting weeks 

the Government continued to make 

decisions in the best interests of our 

communities. We are taking decisive 

action to reduce energy prices 

to ensure Australian families are 

not paying a cent more than they 

have to for their power. 

Gas companies will have to prioritise 

domestic market supplies if 

required to help keep energy prices 

down; electricity companies are 

now expected to help customers 

get better cheaper deals; Snowy 

Hydro 2.0 is being implemented to 

increase energy supplies and storage; 

and the Government remains 

committed to opportunities for low 

emissions coal fired supplies and as 

well as renewables. All options are 

on the table as we demand reliable 

and affordable power supplies for 

everyone. 

We have passed laws to level the 

playing field for small businesses, 

enabling them to better compete 

against big businesses which have 

substantial market power. The opposition 

voted against these changes. 

We passed laws to ban secret 

payments between unions and 


Advertisement 

big businesses so that conditions 

and arrangements in the interest 

of workers across the country are 

transparent and fair. 

The government has maintained 

its promise to allow every Australian 

to have their say on the question 

of same sex marriage. The 

postal plebiscite process is underway 

and we will know what the 

whole Australian population’s view 

is in the coming months. 

We passed reforms to online 

gambling to ensure that children 

are protected from illegal online 

gambling sites. 

We introduced legislation to 

ensure the National Disability Insurance 

scheme is fully funded and 

fully paid for. Once fully rolled out 

the Disability Insurance Scheme 

will benefit 460,000 Australians. 

We introduced stronger laws to 

crack down on money laundering 

and the funding of terrorism. 

Despite the distractions thrown 

up by many, the fact is that the 

Government is getting on with the 

job implementing the commitments 

we took to the last election in the 

interests of all Australians. 

I look forward to proving updates 

in future columns and as always 

welcome any queries to my 

office. 

Until next month regards, 

John

Family ballet favourite 

comes to the Empire 

A popular family favourite because of its engaging 

story, colourful humour and beautiful 

dancing, this stunning production will leave 

you applauding for more. 

Set in the French countryside in the 1950s, 

La Fille mal Gardée delights and entertains audiences 

as a love triangle creates comic chaos. 

Lise loves Colas. Colas loves Lise. But 

Lise’s mother, the Widow Simone, has agreed 

that her wayward daughter should marry Alain, 

son of a pompous, wealthy vineyard owner. 

Garden club meeting 

The Crows Nest Garden Club will 

have its next meeting on September 

9 at Elaine Greenwood’s garden, 2 

Showground Terrace, Crows Nest 

starting at 1.30pm. 

Members are invited to bring any 

garden produce, fruit or vegetables on 

a saucer or small plate for the bench 

display for the day. 

Just a reminder to bring a chair and 

a plate to share and wear stout shoes to 

walk around Elaine’s garden. 

Alain however, is more interested in his 

precious umbrella than romance.What ensues 

is a series of mischievous antics as Lise 

works her way out of the Widow’s marriage 

contract and into the arms of her love-struck 

beau. 

“The French countryside has never been 

so explosively joyous as in Queensland Ballet’s 

new production of La Fille Mal Gardee.”

Should the day be wet, we will still 

meet in the CWA hall as usual. Visitors

Life membership for long service 

Another 12 months have passed and the 

Crows Nest Historical Society has held its 

annual general meeting. 

All executive have been re-elected with the exception 

of Maurice Costello who stood down and 

the election of collections officer, Sue Noordhuis. 

Maurice was awarded life membership in recognition 

of his long service in many roles including 

treasurer, secretary, collections officer and 

head of the catering team, and for lovingly restoring 

the aged furniture throughout the museum to 

its rightful glory. 

The covered wagon and the picnic shed 

have been moved from the front of the museum 

grounds. These changes were made to accommodate 

the new building that will serve as an information 

centre. 

School children from around the Toowoomba 

region, sporting groups, special interest clubs, 

retirement village groups and tourists have been 

enjoying the revitalised museum/village since 

volunteer Bob Ramsay has diligently repainted 

the buildings. 

Sadly, not many locals visit the museum and 

President Len Wilmington, right, presenting 

Maurice Costello with life membership beside 

the 1813 piano he so lovingly restored. 

bring their visitors. FREE admission is offered 

to locals who bring paying guests who provide 

much appreciated entrance fees, vital for the 

maintenance, restoration and improvements to 

the exhibits. 

Those who have not visited in the last couple 

of years will be pleasantly surprised at the improvements 

and enjoy an hour or more strolling 

around the village talking to people and remembering 

things that make up the local heritage and 

that can be experienced here. 

Every Thursday from 8am to noon, volunteers get together 

to have a cuppa and cake and do a bit around the museum. 

YOU are very welcome to come along. For more information

BEEF EXPO TOOWOOMBA 

Horned Herefords continue to command a market 

By MILES NOLLER 

The demise of cattle with horns occurred 

decades ago, and most beef producers 

breed only polled cattle. 

Yet there continues to be a demand for 

horned Herefords despite animal welfare 

issues and the call for painkillers in the 

dehorning process. 

Experienced Hampton cattle breeder 

Neville Shannon producers both polled 

and horned Herefords. 

He said there are graziers who continue 

to demand his horned Herefords. 

Some are from the North Burnett area 

near Monto, who want Herefords with 

horns, not only for better protection 

against dogs, but more importantly, for 

genetic reasons. 

Mr Shannon said the horned Herefords 

seemed to have more consistent genetics, 

and were more consistent “doers.” 

The spread of fat in the carcase was 

good, particularly inter muscular fat 

(marbling) and they had a good temperament. 

“We need cattle that survive when it’s 

tough, and thrive when conditions are 

better.” 

Mr Shannon said Polled Herefords 

went through a stage when they had very 

small frames and then they became very 

big with the introduction of North American 

bloodlines. 

Now they seem to have settled on a size 

similar to the horned animals. 

Mr Shannon and his family do most 

of their stud breeding at their Hampton, 

Merritts Creek Road, property, but run 

a commercial herd at Hurford Downs at 

Texas. They supply the Wyalla Feedlot 

with steers which consistently have a fat 

marble score of two, used for a special 

market in the European Community, but 

said the feedlot cannot get enough Hereford 

cattle like this. 

Selling on each Monday at 

Harristown Saleyards at 7.30am 

Full buying panel covering export, feeders, 

trade and store descriptions. 

Would prefer inspection cattle to be 

available by 3pm on Sunday prior to sale.

Market Quotes: There was a small reduction in supply 

and the vast majority of the young cattle either sold 

to feeder operators or restockers with only a handful 

to slaughter.. H feeder operators provided stronger 

competition on yearling steers to feed for the domestic 

market. Export slaughter lines of heavy grown steers 

and bullocks also experienced some improvement in 

price and cows were generally dearer by 5c/kg. Light 

weight yearling steers returning to the paddock mostly 

sold to a top 339.2c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers 

to slaughter averaged 258c and made to 270c while 

some poor quality lines mostly sold around 232c/kg. 

A handful of well presented heavy weight yearling 

heifers sold to the trade at 285.2c/kg. Heavy grown 

steers to export slaughter made to 269.2c the bullock 

portion averaged 268c with the occasional sale to the

Heritage Banks helps students hone their skills 

Students from Crows Nest 

State School are honing their 

gardening and cooking skills 

with a helping hand from Heritage 

Bank Crows Nest Community 

Branch. 

Heritage Bank and Crows 

Nest Community Branch joint 

venture partner Progressive 

Community Crows Nest PCCN 

provided Crows Nest State 

School with a community grant 

of $6,400 to develop a unique 

horticulture and cooking program 

called “Grow Cook Taste”. 

Spearheaded by Crows Nest 

State School teacher Ashley 

Genrich and local chef Kate 

Nicholas, Grow Cook Taste is 

now in its second semester and 

has been extended from the high 

school to the primary school. 

“We are so grateful for the 

support from Heritage Bank 

Crows Nest and PCCN,” Mr 

Genrich said. 

“These funds have helped us 

to create this unique hands-on 

program for our students. It’s a 

point of difference for our school 

and something we’re very proud 

of. 

“The students have a hand in 

everything, from growing the 

produce in our dedicated gardens 

to using this food in a cooking 

class. 

"They learn about horticulture, 

food preparation, how to 

create different flavours, knife 

safety skills and much more. 

“It provides a real sense of 

achievement for the students to 

be part of the process from start 

to finish.” 

The students showed their impressive 

skills recently, inviting 

staff from Heritage Bank to view 

the gardens built from the grant, 

and then judge a cooking competition 

between the students 

and teachers. 

Heritage Crows Nest Branch 

Sales and Service Manager Aimee 

Skaines said, 

“We were thoroughly impressed 

with the skills and passion 

shown by the students taking 

part in this unique program. 

“We’re a close-knit community 

and have built really strong 

relationships with our customers. 

"It’s so rewarding for us to 

have the opportunity to support 

fantastic initiatives like Grow 

Cook Taste. 

“The beauty of being a community 

branch is that the more 

people bank with us, the more 

we are able to give back through 

grants and sponsorship. It’s 

all about working together to 

achieve great things.” 

Heritage Bank’s Crows Nest 

and Highfields branches operate 

under the community branch 

model as a joint-venture between 

Heritage Bank and the local 

community, represented by a 

company called PCCN, Progressive 

Community Crows Nest. 

Under the Heritage model, the 

community company’s share of 

profits is given back as grants to 

community organisations, charities 

and worthy causes. 

If your community group is 

from the Highfields or Crows 

Nest area and would like to 

apply for a Community Grant, 

please get in touch with Heritage 

Bank’s Crows Nest on 07 4698

New Hope directors on morale 

boosting visit to Oakey 

Back: Jamie Kemshead, Bill Grant, Todd Barlow, Tom Millner, Andrew Boyd and Matthew 

Busch Front: Robert Millner, Shane Stephan, Sue Palmer and Janelle Moody 

New Acland miners received a morale boosting 

visit from the New Hope Group Board of Directors 

last Wednesday. 

Members of the board, led by Chairman Robert 

Millner and Managing Director Shane Stephan, 

spent two days touring parts of the local area, 

including New Acland Mine and the Company’s 

Oakey Community Centre. 

“Our workers have had a pretty rough time over 

the past 12 months waiting for the Stage 3 Project 

to secure its state government approvals,” Mr 

Millner said. 

“At the end of the day they want to know whether 

their job and their family’s future are secure. 

“We wanted to demonstrate to our workforce 

that not only do they have the overwhelming support 

of the local community, they have the full 

backing of the New Hope board.” 

The board began the visit with their quarterly 

board meeting at the New Acland Mine before 

spending several hours touring mining operations 

and speaking with employees. 

“New Acland truly is an innovation hub and it 

was great to see some of health and wellness initiatives 

that helped New Acland win the Health 

Program Award at the recent Queensland Mining 

Industry Health and Safety Conference,” Mr Millner 

said. 

“Coming from a family with cattle grazing 

background, I also found it particularly rewarding 

to visit the 490ha of mined land that is now fully 

rehabilitated and being grazed by cattle,” Mr Millner 

said. 

“We are committed to seeing Stage 3 go ahead 

and we want the community to know we understand 

how important this Project is for the local 

area and we are behind them all the way.” 

leafshield gutter protection 

Clean gutters, clean tank water 

Leafshield Gutter Protection 

is a family owned business operating 

in Queensland since 1995. 

We install quality gutter 

guards to suit most roof types, 

and our system is designed to fit 

over any roof or gutter. 

If you rely on tank water, it is 

important that the water is able 

to flow freely through the gutter 

system unrestricted to the tanks. 

With even a small quantity of 

leaves in the gutter system, gutters 

can overflow and cause loss 

of precious tank water. 

Leaf debris is the perfect host 

for bacteria that causes your tank 

water to become unusable and 

require costly maintenance. 

Installing Leafshield’s gutter 

guard removes the hassle and 

danger of home owners cleaning 

their own gutters or valleys. 

We install a range of meshes,

FISHING 

CABARLAH: This month, the club trip was to 

Coolmunda Dam which is currently at 95 per cent. 

The weather was not the best with strong southerly 

winds blowing on Friday and Saturday. The Sunday 

morning weather was the pick of the weekend. 

There were 14 members in attendance but unfortunately 

not a lot of fish were caught. The 

largest of those caught were: Yellow Belly Ron 

Gwydir 1.71kg, Jew Wayne Sommerfield 1.98kg, 

Silver Perch Wayne Sommerfield 1.10kg 

The club has welcomed a new member, Anthony 

White, and his son Jared as a junior member. 

Next trip Bjelke Petersen Dam September 9 and 

10, as water levels are still at 20 per cent. Recent 

reports indicate that although the level is dropping 

and some areas are shallow, the main basins are 

fishing well. There will be a club sausage sizzle 

held on the Saturday night for all members to 

enjoy. Hamish Classic 

The Hamish Classic is being held again this 

year by Downlands College in memory of Hamish 

Stewart. The tournament will be held on September 

23, also at Bjelke-Petersen Dam. Each year the 

club supports Downlands College and the Stewart 

family by making a donation towards the tournament 

prizes. - Emily Gale.
