Members vote on planned merger
Heritage Bank members can now have their
say on the planned merger with People’s Choice
Credit Union, with the distribution of a notice of
meeting and detailed member information booklet
on the proposal that started earlier this month.
The member vote on the merger takes place in
Toowoomba on Wednesday, November 16.
The booklet was distributed to members and
contains comprehensive information about the
merger proposal, and the voting process.
This includes the ability for members to go
online immediately and appoint a proxy to vote
on their behalf.
Heritage Bank CEO Peter Lock urged members
to carefully read the booklet and to make
their vote count.
“We strongly believe the planned merger with
People’s Choice is in the best interests of our
members and the future of Heritage Bank,” Mr
Lock said.
“We’ll gain the added strength needed to deliver
more for our members, while staying true to
our values and our people-first approach.
“People’s Choice is the perfect fit for us. They
are also a mutual, owned by their members, so
they share our values and culture.
Copperbeard orchids in bloom
While the end of winter and
spring can produce many showy
flowers, there are others not so
easily noticed.
These include various small
orchids that flower through this
part of the year.
If there is plenty of organic
matter and good spring moisture,
then the variety of fungii
needed by different orchids can
help them to appear.

Acland go ahead after 15-year fight
NEW ACLAND STAGE 3 THE MOST REVIEWED AND SCRUTINISED RESOURCES PROJECT
IN QUEENSLAND’S HISTORY - NEW HOPE GROUP CEO, ROB BISHOP
New Hope Group’s 15-year
mining approvals battle is over.
The Queensland Government
late last week approved New
Acland Stage 3.
The chief executive of the
Department administered by
Queensland Minister for Water,
Glenn Butcher, granted New
Acland Stage 3 an Associated
Water Licence.
This was the last approval
required after the Government
granted a mining approval some
weeks ago.
New Hope Group CEO, Rob
Bishop said the historic announcement
followed extensive
consultation with Darling
Downs stakeholders, including
the mine’s objectors.
“The Queensland Government’s
decision to approve New
Acland Stage 3 is a defining moment
and is being celebrated by
our workforce, their families,
local farmers, landholders, business
leaders and the local community,”
Mr Bishop said.
“New Acland Stage 3 is
the most reviewed and scrutinised
resources project in
Queensland’s history.
“The Queensland Government
critically assessed the
project and found it stacks up
environmentally, socially and
financially.
“The exhaustive process
was overseen by a host of
Queensland Government Ministers
and countless, hardworking
public servants who evaluated
every aspect of the project and
concluded that New Acland
Stage 3 should go ahead.
Toowoomba Regional Council’s Stakeholder
Engagement Principal Trevor Mitchell has
been awarded Team Member of the Year by the
Queensland Branch of the Institute of Public
Works Engineering Australasia at the 2022
Excellence Awards.
Infrastructure Committee Chair Cr Carol Taylor
said it was fantastic to see staff recognised in this
way.
“Trevor is a dedicated stake-holder engagement
practitioner who has been involved in major
projects such as Flood Recovery and Restoration
Programs, Russell Street Refresh Project, Ruthven
Street North Project, Toowoomba Second Range
Crossing including integrated projects at Mort,
Griffith and Boundary Streets, as well as countless
local projects for our community,” she said.
“His ability to navigate con-flicting stakeholder
interests in supporting the delivery of community
infrastructure is pivotal in the successful delivery
of public works, as well as ensuring our residents
“The Land Court process, the
Coordinator General’s extensive
consultation process, the separate
independent assessments of
the Queensland Department of
Environment and Science and
the Minister for Resources and
now the thorough examination
by the Department of Regional
Development, Manufacturing
and Water has allowed everyone,
including the mine’s objectors,
to be heard.
“The Queensland Government’s
decision to approve New
Acland Stage 3 means we can
now restart operations and extend
employment opportunities
to hundreds of local workers.
Mr Bishop said groundwater,
the subject of the Associated
Water Licence application, was
subject to exhaustive reviews,
comment and assessment by independent
experts, peer reviewers,
objectors, State regulators
and Commonwealth agencies,
in advance of, or during, the Associated
Water Licence Application
process.
“Groundwater is regulated by
existing Water Act management
area conditions and conditions
established by the Department
of Regional Development, Manufacturing
and Water, Coordinator
General, the Department of
Environment and Science and
the Federal Minister for the Environment,”
Mr Bishop said.
“These conditions enable
mining to successfully co-exist
with agriculture and support a
broader range of commercial
and employment opportunities
for the community.
“It’s also essential to understand
the New Acland Mine does
not rely on groundwater bores
for any of its mining operations.
“New Acland Mine purchases
all its water requirements from
the Wetalla Wastewater Reclamation
Facility under an existing
long term supply contract
with the Toowoomba Regional
Council.”
The Queensland Government’s
decision to approve New
Acland Stage 3 means, local
workers, contractors and local
businesses will benefit to the
tune of $1billion over the life of
the project.
At the peak of construction,
there will be approximately 600
local workers on site at New
Acland Mine. Throughout the
life of the project, the permanent
workforce will be approximately
400 full-time roles, made up of
Darling Downs locals.
ANDREW LANGTON
Oakey Chamber of
Commerce president
are listened to throughout the project.
“The annual IPWEAQ Awards program
recognises the work that engineering professionals
provide for the good of their communities.
"It recognises private and public organisations
and in-dividuals who demonstrate best practice,
innovation and positive community impact in
public works projects across Queensland.
“I would also like to con-gratulate our Council
teams who worked on the Glenvale State School
Carpark Project and Smart Parking Project as they
were finalists in the $1-2 million and $2-5 million
project categories respectively.
“At Council, we have an incredible team that
helps to deliver infrastructure to every part of our
Region.
"It’s rewarding to see them being recognised for
their cont-ribution.
“Without the dedication and hard work of our
staff, we simply wouldn’t be able to service our
Region to such a high standard, Cr Taylor said.

Detectives involved in the joint investigation
by the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch
and the Homicide Investigation Group are hopeful
that the announcement of a Queensland Government
reward of $500,000 will bring in new information
to assist police investigations into the
murder of Krishna Chopra.
On January 31, Krishna Chopra, 61, was found
deceased in her home at Park Road, Crows Nest.
Detective Senior Sergeant Paul McCusker from
the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch
said it was hoped the reward would lead to further
arrests.
“We believe there are people out in the community
who could have information about Krishna’s
murder and that another person or persons were
involved in the planning of this offence,” Detective
Snr Sgt McCusker said.
“I urge anyone who has not already come forward,
who may have had an association with Ms

Police announce reward for
alleged murder
Goombungee Arts and Cultural
Enterprise Inc. will launch
of their first exhibition as part of
Jacaranda Day next weekend.
A generous offer from the
Goombungee Christian Church
through Pastor Alan Pope has
created new opportunities for
the GACE.
With a lease in place on the
church hall, the group created a
new op shop experience in Not
New.
GACE will host The Exogenisis
Revelations exhibition
by Toowoomba artist Isaya Sikwatta
at the church on Jacaranda
Day, Saturday, November 5.
The exhibition offers a unique
experience into Sikwatta’s African
background, his culture and
art concepts.
Sikwatta said this exhibition
Chopra or visited her house at 5 Park Road, Crows
Nest, to come forward.”
Additionally, anyone who was in the Park Road
area of Crows Nest on January 20, 21 and 22 to
contact police to discuss their observations and
movements.
A $500,000 reward is now in place for information
that leads to the conviction of the person, or
persons, found to be responsible for Ms Chopra’s
murder.
In addition to the reward, an appropriate indemnity
from prosecution will be recommended for
any accomplice, not being the person who actually
committed the crime, who first gives such information.
• In March, a man, 33, was charged in connection
with the alleged murder following a number
of public appeals for information. Investigations
are continuing.

GACE to hold first exhibition
was a longing for or a reminder
of those times in that stage of our
species when there was no waste
or excess.
“My African heritage is actually
a collective human heritage
– a time when we used what was
available around us rather than
the creation of new product and
before advent of travel to get
what we did not have locally,”
he said.
“Art is a language that puts
this journey into context, in
terms of time, place, space and
form to enable me to be able to
study myself from an observer’s
point of view.”
Strong support from the community
and its surrounds has
enabled GACE to move forward
with its plans to create a gathering
place on site that works
closely with local artists and
community to create art and cultural

New venue draws large crowd to Seniors Expo
National Seniors Australia Garden City Branch
president Hazel Gillies was amazed by the attendance
at last week’s Seniors Expo.
The Seniors Expo 2022 opened the doors to
the Founders Pavilion at the Toowoomba Showgrounds
on Thursday.
Mrs Gillies said more than 750 people had
walked through the doors of the expo within the
first two hours of the event.
“The Founder’s Pavilion has provided a fantastic
venue for the expo, it has a lot of space which
allows us to have more vendors as well as plenty
of parking,” she said.
More than 100 vendors were present at the
expo from health products, retirement villages,
lawyers, social clubs, education and more.
“The Toowoomba Seniors Expo gathers all the
pertinent information for seniors, and their relatives
and carers under the one roof,” Mrs Gillies
said.
National Seniors Australia general manager
Chris Grice said it was fantastic to see such large
numbers so early into the day.
“We have 84 branches across the country. In
their own communities they do events just like
this; they’re either providing education or raising
money for charity,” he said.
“Seniors Expo is very much about giving back
to the community and being community-minded
when they’re engaging with their local residences.”
Mrs Gillies said she and the other members of
the Garden City Branch were grateful of the support
the Toowoomba Regional Council provided
for the 2022 Toowoomba Seniors Expo.
TRC Councillor Kerry Shine said the council
Jim Cosgrove and David Utley
Toowoomba City Bowls Club
was proud to partner with the expo for the celebrations
of Queensland Seniors Month.
“I thank the groups who have made this event
possible, particularly the organizing committee,
most notably Hazel Gilles from the National Seniors
Australia Garden City Branch,” Cr Shine
said.
“I also want to acknowledge our senior residents’
contributions across the workforce, in
community and volunteer organisations.” - Sean

Toowoomba Together seeks
award nominations
Local anti-gender-based violence advocacy
group, Toowoomba Together Incorporated is
encouraging the community to place their nominations
for their annual awards ceremony next
month.
Toowoomba Together Incorporated are taking
nominations for the Paul Myatt Memorial Safer
Region Award and the five pillar awards that will
be held during the Community Recognition Evening.
The advocacy organisation was established
in 2006 as the Toowoomba Says No to Violence
movement with the Toowoomba Together campaign
being launched in 2016.
Since its inception, Toowoomba Together aims
to drive social change around domestic and gender-based
violence through education, awareness
campaigns, preventative programs and partnerships.
Toowoomba Together Incorporated chair John
Minz said the five pillar awards were categorised
into health, education, sports, faith, and business/
workplace.
“If you know of an individual or organisation
from the Toowoomba Region who displays an outstanding
commitment to the promotion of non-violence
in our community, please nominate them
for one or more of the awards online,” he said.
The Toowoomba Together Incorporated Community
Recognition event will be held at Empire

MENTAL HEALTH
MONTH
October is recognised as Mental Health
month throughout a number of Australian
states.
Here in Queensland, we celebrate Mental
Health Week between 8-16th of October. Mental
Health Week is an annual awareness initiative that
promotes individual and community mental health
and wellbeing and boosts the awareness of mental
illness prevalence within the community.
Research suggests exercise is beneficial for
managing poor mental health. Exercise releases
chemicals like endorphins and serotonin that
improve your mood. It is an excuse to get outside,
reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation
and put you in touch with other people. Regular
exercise is proven to reduce stress and symptoms
of depression and anxiety contributing to helping
achieve recovery from mental health issues.

Dr Nikola Stepanov is Toowoomba
Regional Council’s
new Planning and Development
General Manager, replacing
Stewart Somers who has retired
after being in the position since
amalgamation in 2008.
TRC CEO Brian Pidgeon said
Dr Stepanov had been successful
following a highly competitive
nation-wide recruitment process.
“Dr Stepanov has many years
of experience advising and
working with local governments

confidential matters, including
issues related to planning and
development.
“Dr Stepanov brings tremendous
value to our organisation with her
considerable skills and expertise
in ethical leadership, community
engagement, mediation, negotiation
and project delivery.
“Nikola’s extensive experience
and skills will ensure that
the Council’s Planning and
Development Group and the
development industry maintain
a collaborative and constructive
relationship that effectively

BreastScreen
turns 30
BreastScreen Queensland
Toowoomba Service celebrated
its 30th birthday last week, as
all women are being reminded
about the importance of regular
breast checks.
Medical Director at Breast-
Screen Toowoomba Heather Jeffery
said breast cancer was the
most commonly diagnosed cancer
for Australian women.
“Sadly, one in seven women
are diagnosed with breast cancer
during their life,” Dr Jeffery
said.
Since opening in 1992,
Toowoomba’s BreastScreen
Clinic has screened more than
444,000 women.
“Last year we screened nearly
15,000 women through our
Toowoomba clinic and our mobile
vans,” Dr Jeffery said
“Every one of those breast
screens is so important to ensure
the best health outcomes for our
local women.”
Women 40 and over are eligible
to receive a free breast screen
through the service, the best way
to detect breast cancer early.
Additionally, the Breast-
Screen Queensland Toowoomba
Service will host a special event
for local Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander women on November
1 and 2.
The two-day event is aimed
at creating a welcoming space
to encourage more First Nations
women to be breast aware.
A doctor’s referral is not needed
to access this free service.

Galleries feature exhibitions
inspired by landscape
The Crows Nest Gallery and the Rosalie Gallery
will host exhibitions featuring art work inspired
by the local native landscapes.
Toowoomba-based artist Samantha Nolan’s exhibition
Rewilding will be on display at the Crows
Nest Gallery from October 19 through to November
13.
The I Love Goombungee exhibition featuring
the work of 15 Goombungee artists will be showing
during the same time at the Rosalie Gallery.
Ms Nolan, who has been painting in the
Toowoomba Region for 20 years, paints predominantly
in oils and acrylics.
Artworks in Rewilding depict her relationship
with the natural environment and have been inspired
by visits to the Crows Nest National Park
and family bush walks in the surrounding district.
Rewilding features a series of mixed media
paintings that represent a longing for reconnecting
with nature and a desire to be lost or immersed in
a world beyond the contemporary built or digital
realms.
Works depict detailed, realistic figures that are
hiding and exploring expressive, and at times,
semi-abstract, natural landscapes.
The 15 artists featured in I Love Goombungee
exhibit will showcase various mediums from
photography, abstract painting and sculptures. I
Love Goombungee proudly supports Goombungee’s
annual Jacaranda Day celebrations, which is
scheduled for Saturday, November 5.
The festival was first staged in 1993 and has become
a popular highlight on the district’s social
calendar.
Rosalie Gallery is committed to displaying the
talents of Goombungee’s creative community at
its latest exhibition.
Crows Nest Gallery, at the corner of the New
England Highway and William Street is open
from 10.30am to 3.30pm Wednesday to Sunday.
On Friday, October 21, the
Darling Downs Regional Alliance,
representating six regional
towns, came together to speak
as one voice to Toowoomba Region
Councillors.
The Alliance includes Crows
Nest Progress, Recreation and
Tourism Association, Highfields
Chamber of Commerce, Millmerran
Commerce and Progress
Association, Oakey Chamber of
Commerce, Pittsworth District
Alliance, Toowoomba Chamber
of Commerce, along with Clifton
Chamber of Commerce and
Yarraman Business Group.
President of the Toowoomba
Chamber Kate Venables said,
“With a combined membership
of representing almost 1000
businesses and community
groups, the Alliance is on the
ground listening to their communities
as issues arise.
“In recognition of the similarity
of issues that relate to the
Council, an invitation was extended
for councillors to have
an opportunity to listen to community
leaders advocating on
behalf of their members.
“Too much red tape, lack ofparks
and facilities maintenance,
internal miscommunication,
lack of ongoing consultation on
masterplans and burdensome
volunteer inductions were all
highlighted by the Alliance as
persistent and costly barriers
caused by TRC systems and processes.
“The cost of hiring rooms in
TRC facilities and the $10 million
public liability insurance
demands, along with a request
that Council meetings rotate
around the region were other issues
the Alliance raised for the
Councillors to act on.
“Despite the frustration outlined
by Mayor Paul Antonio,
that the legislative restrictions
impose on communication between
councillors and TRC employees,
some agreement was
reached for some of the issues.
“The Mayor talked about their
job to listen and make things
happen when they can and empathised
with the frustration the
internal red tape experienced by
local communities.
“The Alliance felt that there

Alliance argues for better
deal for businesses
This phrase conjures up different things for different
people in today’s world.
For some, it is simply children door knocking
for a treat of sweets, or they’ll play a trick on you.
Seemingly, just a bit of innocent fun.
For others it’s a chance to dress up in ghoulish
costumes and party.
The occasion for this custom is Halloween, but
today’s version is somewhat changed from its medieval
roots.
There are many different thoughts on both the
origins of Halloween and the tradition of trick or
treating if you do a little research.
There are however, two things common to most
of the information on the history of it all.
One is that Halloween has its roots in the Celtic
festival of Samhain; a pagan religious celebration
where costumes were worn to ward off ghosts.
Secondly, it is always associated with death,
darkness and evil spirits.
One wonders if this is a good thing to be celebrating
at all. The commercialism that has crept
into it is also off putting. All through October it
is not possible to go shopping without being confronted
with skeletons, witches’ hats, masks or
CHRISTIAN COMMENT
was real value in the meeting
and are looking forward to seeing
movement in the insurance
demands, volunteer inductions,
and greater consultation as masterplans
are rolled out in the
towns.
“Ultimately the true impact of
the meeting will only be measured
by actions taken – so we
will continue to push for more
action around the issues that impact
our communities.”
The purpose of the Darling
Downs Regional Alliance is
to support and be the voice of
regional business, working together
with other Chambers
and like associations within the
Toowoomba Local Government
Area to co-ordinate policy and
advocacy, networking and training;
collectively advocate for
what business sees as key drivers
to help growth across the
region; develop and implement
strategies to improve outcomes
related to regional business
growth; and provide members of
local business associations with
access to benefits of a co-ordinated
voice on regional issues.
Trick or Treat - Different things for different people
other items that ‘celebrate’ this pagan tradition.
It would seem to me to be a good time of the
year to celebrate life rather than death.
‘Life’ is all around us, in one another, and in
nature.
This season in Australia is spring when new life
abounds at every turn.
Livestock and poultry as well as our native animals
are giving birth to new life at this time of
year.
Jesus tells us in John 10:10 the reason that he
came to earth. “I am come that they may have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.”
The Greek dictionary meaning for the word
‘abundantly’ is exceeding, over and above, more
than necessary, supremely.
Let us enter into this abundance by focusing on
life, and on Jesus, the giver of life.
Dear Jesus, Thank you so much that you came
to give us abundant life. Help me to focus my
thoughts on you, and on the life you have given
me with a grateful heart. Amen

Council works with not-for-profit
company on housing options
Toowoomba Regional Council
will work with not-for-profit
community housing provider
Brisbane Housing Company to
deliver new social and affordable
housing accommodation options
in a multi-storey development
planned for Station Street in
Toowoomba.
The council resolved to dispose
a portion of the Station
Street car park by selling the
freehold title at market value to
BHC at its confidential special
meeting on September 28.
TRC Planning and Development
Committee chair Cr Megan
O’Hara Sullivan said BHC’s
proposal was to develop new social
and affordable units on the
south-east portion of the site.
“We are pleased to partner
with BHC, which has a proven
record of delivering this type
of accommodation,” Cr O’Hara
Sullivan said.
“The council has been devising
ways to address the acute
shortage of rental accommodation,
especially for the social
and affordable housing sector,
that is representative of the tight
housing and rental market across
Australia.
“The council is positive that
the proposed Station Street development
will offer a greater
variety of well designed housing
options that are close to transport,
schools, recreation areas,
retail and service hubs.
“The council will look for
ways to re-invest the proceeds
from the sale of the Station
Street land into car parking or
similar improvements across the
CBD.
The Station Street car park is
rarely above 60 per cent capacity
on most days.
“Private investors have shown
their confidence in this part of the
Station Street multi-story apartment complex - Concept art
CBD through recent multi-storey
development applications,
including the construction of the
Bernoth development fronting
Mylne Street.
“There is great potential for
additional revitalisation of this
area of the CBD with easy connections
to the historic and recently
upgraded Russell Street
retail area in addition to easy
access to the Railway Parklands
area.
“The Railway Parklands earlier
this year received a $25
million funding injection from
the State and Commonwealth
Governments through the City
Deal agreement (this also incorporates
the Council of Mayors
South East Queensland, of which
Toowoomba is a member.)
“The council’s work to prepare
a new Planning Scheme,
under the Toowoomba Region
Futures banner, is planning for
growth over the next 30 years
to ensure there is more choice in
housing type and location.”
BHC CEO Rebecca Oelkers
said BHC welcomed the council’s
resolution to progress the
project which aims to deliver
rental homes in close proximity
to the city’s centre.
“The proposed development
will offer a balanced mix of long
term social, affordable and market
rentals, ensuring residents in
housing need can stay connected
to their local area and continue
to live, work and thrive as part
of the vibrant Toowoomba community,”
she said.
“BHC looks forward to continuing
to work with Toowoomba
Regional Council to progress
the plans for this development
and assist in addressing local
housing need.”
The confidential report outlined
options for other projects
at Council-owned land in Annand
Street and Neil Street.
Master plan for Clara May Smythe Park
Toowoomba Regional Council
is planning to develop a master
plan for Clara May Smythe
Park in Highfields this financial
year.
Environment and Community
Services Portfolio Leader
Cr Tim McMahon said the aim
of the project was to encourage
people of all ages and abilities to
visit and stay longer at the park.
“Potential improvements may
include new features such as a
playground, picnic facilities,
walking and cycling paths and
landscaping,” Cr McMahon
said.
“We’d love to know how park
users think the park can be improved
and there’s a couple of
ways feedback can be provided.
“Due to the size of the park,
the council has determined that

“When you have parks with
playground equipment and other
facilities it’s important to have
enough buffering between these
activities, the properties adjacent
to the park and the DOLA

park is a suitable location,
we know there is a need for a
DOLA in the north-western side
of Highfields which is why we
want to find out if you have any
alternative locations or suggestions

Administration and Fundraising Manager Mr

Preparations have started for the Anniversary

We all realise it has been a great year for significant
rainfall events.
It is great for ground water replenishment, for
dam and river filling and of course great for growing
plants but it is also a perfect environment for all sorts
of insects and weeds to germinate and spread.
Unfortunately the insect we have an abundance of
right now in our grain crops is Helicoverpa Armigera
(Heliothis).
This pest has been giving us trouble in grain and
cotton crops for 60 years or more.
My own association only stems back 50 years
on the family farm in the South Burnett growing
soybeans and grain sorghum.

A yarding consisting of mainly feeder & weaner
cattle came forward on Monday. Prices held
up well with the previous week’s sale results.
Lightweight weaners are still receiving strong
support from both feeder operators and local
restockers. There was not a lot of cows on offer
or heavy steers to suit export operators.

Sale Date: October 19, 2022 – 5075 yarded
Wet weather and more western numbers made
up the yarding this week. Prime heavy cows
were just a shade easier while your store cows
sold to dearer rates. Feeder operators were
still very active as were restockers. Quality
was very mixed, but there were lines of cattle
on offer. All regular export buyers were in
attendance with some southern buyer added
support. This southern support was also seen
in the 2nd round cattle.

Guess what - right now in many areas we have
Heliothis again in our winter cereal crops.
Sure, the Heliothis (or great white shark of dryland
I quote) is always present in flowering or podding
Chickpea or Faba Bean crops.
However, they are also hammering our cereal
crops in 2022.
I have witnessed this phenomenon in the 1983 and
1984 wet winters and low levels again in 1988 and
1989 wet years.
As always the tricky line is how many grubs or
larvae do you need in your paddock, before you
apply an insecticide.
We call this a spray threshold and is calculated
by numbers of larvae per square metre, cost of
insecticide and application, and of course, the $ end
price of the grain.
In those early wetter years I mentioned, there was
very little research on this part of growing winter
cereals.
Thankfully Dr Melina Miles and her team at
DAF did basic trial work in 2016 and came up with
threshold numbers that surprisingly are very close to
my own rough calculations all those decades ago on
Western Downs cereal paddocks.
Of course, I was using cereal grain prices of $130
per tonne. These days we need to calculate $350 to

$400 per tonne for grain and the cost of spraying
has also risen for both the registered carbamate
insecticide and the aeroplane.
So if you or your agronomist have not been
checking your grain paddocks, I strongly suggest
this occurs.
Guess where these larvae or grubs will be worse?
Yep, in the middle, most likely, or the corner that
is hard to get to.
Heliothis moths know no boundaries, so check
everywhere.
How to check is a challenge and beat sheets and
sweep nets are best ways to go with varying success,
picking up the smaller size of Heliothis grubs.
Thanks again to the team at DAF Toowoomba,
what they also found was Heliothis likes wheat and
barley grain more than chickpeas or sorghum grain.
So the 2.4 grams per larvae of grain consumed in
sorghum and chickpeas is more like 4.2 grams for
each larvae in barley and wheat.
With current grain prices, our spray thresholds
are more like 2.4 larvae per square metre. Not too
different from my 1980s threshold numbers.
However growers and agronomists can be more
confident in the current threshold numbers than my
rubbery ones from 1983 and 1984.
Check out the online DAF beatsheet site for
applying your own costs and deciding on spray
thresholds for your paddocks of grain.

Crows Nest Fishing
Club’s annual K’Gari/Fraser
Island trip was again
well supported with 12
members and 11 of their
friends attending over the
two-week period.
The Tailor were on the
bite along Dart, Flathead
and Jewfish. Unfortunately
all of the Jewies were
just undersize.
Some marine researchers
were on the island this
year. They were great to
talk to about what was
involved to ensure sustainability
of the species Longest tailor
Jim Edser
of fish in the area. They taught how to measure fish
growth and we kept some frames for them to help out
with their studies.
Pippies were collected and some worms caught also.
The in-house competition for the longest Tailor was
won by Jim Edser (68cm) and as he caught it early in
the trip, had all trying their best to pip him with great
anticipation when a big one was caught and measured.
Junior members Charlie, Sam, Lucas and Hunter
and their friends also enjoyed some fishing and Lucas
caught his first ever Tailor.
An alternative freshwater trip was held on the last
weekend in September into October at a well-run fishing
competition at Bjelke-Petersen Dam. Three members
attended and couldn’t believe how well the Golden
Perch and Bass were biting. They caught over 100 fish
between them, most of which were released, and won
prizes in the give-aways. Junior member Nathan Petersen
won a weigh-in.
During the month, Justin Bolitho and a mate caught
Golden Perch at Cooby Dam.
Monthly participation/attendance draw winner Marty
Edser.
Fraser Island club trip winner Jim Edser 2.8kg Tailor,
second Ashley Yaxley 1.97kg Tailor, third Jaidyn
Murray 1.87kg Tailor. Junior Charlie Ruwoldt 1.41kg
Tailor.
Bjelke Peterson Dam trip winner Ivan Petersen
1.15kg Golden Perch, second Mick Nothdurft 1.1kg
Golden Perch. Junior Nathan Petersen 1.175kg Golden
Perch.
The next club trip is to Leslie Dam, weather permitting,
on November 11 to 13. The December club trip is
our open competition where you can fish at any place
and date of your choosing.
The January trip is proposed to join with the Beach
House Fishing Club from Hervey Bay at Inskip Point
on January 13 to 15. Thank you to those who helped out
at the raffle night on October 15.
The next meeting will be at the Grand Old Crow Hotel
on Wednesday, November 9 at 7pm.

CRICKET
BOWLS
CENTRAL DOWNS: October 16 - It was
cloudy across the Downs, and local cricket was back
in action, with Bowenville hosting Pittsworth and
Millmerran hosting Kulpi.
BOWENVILLE v. PITTSWORTH: After two
years and a week one washout, cricket returned to the
Bowenville Homestead, host to the opening match
of the 2022-23 Fiechtner Family Shield season between
Bowenville and Pittsworth, where the hosts
were sent in to bat.
On the home track, the Villians got off to a tentative
start, losing an early wicket and travelling at
about 3.5 runs per over, a thick grassy field making
scoring along the ground a challenge.
Bowenville entered the drinks break on 3/71 with
Brenden Scifleet and Gavin Pattison.
After the break, the focus shifted to ticking over
the score, and a handy last wicket stand of 30 runs
helped the Villians to 144 before being bowled all
out in 38 overs.
Brenden Scifleet was the best bat for the home
team, with 41 not out coming in second drop.
Chaz Cheatley (14), Brendan Cahill (18), Scifleet
(41 not out) and Pattison (19) all scored double figures;
meanwhile, for Pittsworth, Todd Hamlet was
the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/11 from 5
overs, Sam McGinn also picking up 2/6 from 3 overs.
F.O.W. 10, 40, 56, 90, 94, 98, 101, 114, 144; all
out (38).
Defending 144, Bowenville made an immediate
impact through Ajay Kumar, snicking off Ed Mc-
Ginn with the first ball of the inning.
Coming in first drop, Hamlet hit beyond the fence
several times on his way to a quick 56 runs, bringing
up his half century on the stroke of lunch with the
Pelicans 3/62 at the break.
A sprinkle of rain during the break changed the
conditions for both sides, with the ball soaking wet
from the long grass and having a rebirth of sorts with
the bowlers working the ball around with swing.
With the field slower than it already was, the run
rate slowed for Pittsworth, with the ball not reaching
the inner circle without risking a catch.
Meanwhile, disciplined bowling and fielding
from Bowenville allowed them to get wickets just
frequently enough to swing the momentum in their
favour. Hamlet (56) and Jacob Cameron (16) reached
double figures in Pittsworth’s 112 total.
All of the Bowenville bowlers contributed to
the win. Akshit Kaushal (3/34, 8o) showed exemplary
skill in his first game with the club; Chaz
Cheatley (2/9, 8o, 5m) and Jayden Lee (2/21,
8o) bowled a great line and length to limit runs;
Ajay Kumar (2/38, 8o) was pivotal in taking crucial
wickets, and Brenden Scifleet wrapped the game
up with a wicket of his own.
F.O.W. 0, 33, 55, 69, 93, 95, 103, 103, 103, 112;
all out (33).
A win well-earned for the hosts in tricky conditions
for both teams,
Bowenville won by 32 runs on the back of Scifleet’s
41 * and the all-around effort from the bowlers.
MILLMERRAN v. KULPI: Across the Downs,
the 2021-22 grand final rematch in Millmerran began
with the defending premiers Kulpi winning the toss
and opting to bat.
Kulpi, who last season averaged 235 runs when
they batted first, struggled and found themselves in
trouble at 3/35. Marcus Frizzell (47) and Brenden
Schick (19) built a decent partnership for the fourth
wicket; still, two players short of an entire squad and
very economical bowling from Millmerran limited
Kulpi to 98 runs in 34 overs.
Trent Mullins led the attack with the ball with figures
of 3/13 from eight overs (eco. 1.62) with James
Sinclair, 2/11 (8o, eco. 1.83)
Dom Briggs, 1/6 (3o); and Stephen Lindeque,
1/24 (4o) all collecting wickets, with mentions also
to Lachlan Folker who had figures of 0/8 from five
overs with three maidens. F.O.W. 28, 28, 34, 73, 78,
83, 98; 7/98 (34).
Millmerran opened their innings with Daniel
Betts, who showed his class hitting, bringing up a
half-century in 46 balls and finishing 63 not out from
52 balls, finding the boundary on nine occasions.
Kulpi were able to get two wickets through Frizzell
(1/24, 6o) and Nick Spies (1/14, 3o.)
But the total wasn’t big enough to defend from
Betts and Alex Kahler (19 not out from 12 balls.)
Millmerran chased the total in 15.3 overs to win by
8 wickets. F.O.W. 24, 52; 2/100 (15.3).
The end of Round 1 in the 40 overs competition
sees Millmerran hold the top spot over Bowenville
on percentage, with Kulpi at the rear.
• Next week’s matches sees Pittsworth hosting
Millmerran and Bowenville hosting Kulpi.

LAST NIGHT – TONIGHT
Same format as always, and just as much fun.
Bring along a friend or two.
Enjoy a burger with your bowls, or have a burger while you watch the bowls in action
– either way it’s an inexpensive and fun couple of hours.
Burgers are ready from about 6, and bowls starts at 6.30. No experience necessary, so
come along and join a growing group of locals on the green.
We’ll supply the bowls, mats and jacks – all you need to bring is yourself,
some soft-soled shoes and an appetite for something new.
Great prizes and a raffle; and winners are drawn out of the hat.
